Magical Optical Illusion :)

I found this optical illusion on the Web. Brianne recently got a Magic Kit and the optical illusions inside amazed me. If you kinda look to the side it works really well.

Thanksgiving is in 5 days..

I got bored today, so I added a some messages. Oh yeah, can you please post a comment on the post titled "What do you think?".We can't make up our minds. Dad is gonna be home for the next week, so I'm really exited.
Happy Thanksgiving, Y'all!

Thanksgiving is in... 6 days!

Time for Turkey!

Bri's Ears!

Brianne got her ears pierced on Saturday for her 8th birthday. I brought my camera so I could post on my Blog.

I interviewed Brianne before she got her ears pierced, when we were in the car.

I also videotaped her getting them pierced. It was really sad seeing her get teary-eyed.

What do you think?

Caitlin and I are getting cell phone for Christmas. We are going to use AT&T. Caitlin and I cannot decide which phone to get. We like the AT&T Quickfire Phone, and we also like the Pantech Matrix. Please help us! Post a comment telling us which one to get, or recommend us a phone for AT&T.

We want a phone that we can text easily, mainly with a QWERTY keyboard. We also want a phone that needs no specific plan like the Blackberry's.

First Up: The Pantech Matrix!

This awesome phone slides up and to the side.

Cool convertible design! The Pantech Matrix is perfect for messaging. With dual slide out keypads, MP3 music player, and XM radio it will keep you entertained on the go. Snap photos on the 1.3 MP camera and go wireless with Bluetooth® capabilities.

Here is the link for it:

Now, The AT&T Quickfire!

This touch screen phone is awesome for texting!


Lay your hands on the new Quickfire and its interactive touch screen and you'll discover you can check email, listen to music and watch videos all with a few simple taps of your finger. With 3G connection speeds, accessing the Internet anywhere, anytime will never be a problem. Can't get enough texting? The Quickfire's easy-to-use slide out QWERTY keyboard makes quick work of messaging.

Now it's YOUR job to help us decide! Post a comment and tell us which one you think we should get.

An interesting Video I recived...

I got this email from my friend. I think it is really interesting. Here is the message that was attached:

I never realized that a wet dishcloth can be a one size fits all lid to cover a fire in a pan! This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short) about how to deal with a common kitchen fire ... oil in a frying pan. Read the following Introduction, then watch the video ... It's a real eye-opener!! At the Fire Fighting Training school they would demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a 10 foot pole toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention of the students. The water, being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a thirty foot high fireball that resembled a nuclear blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room. Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup of either creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.

Great Job Caitlin!

So today was when we figured out if we made it to become Class Representative, and we had to wait until 2:00 today. I was very exited to hear Caitlin's name first, after all the hard work she has committed into making posters, campaign items, and helping me with mine. I was disappointed when I didn't hear my name, but I was happy for Caitlin. Great Job Caite! I thought at first Caitlin and I had a chance, because we were the only girls running and there was a few boys running, and there is more boy than girls in our class, but the votes for the boys had to split up into fourths, yet mine were all the girl's votes. I had it all ready until the vice principal made a rule that is a part of the "Me, Me , Generation" (see my mom's blog a few posts back), and the rule is that you could vote for as many as people you'd like for Class Rep. Caitlin is the main Rep, while her secretary is a boy, and A boy in my class is Rep, while my other major competition is secretary.

The Class Rep... Nice Picture Caitlin. Wavy Hair and a Robe does it all.

One of the Chain Letters I really Enjoyed-

A Child's View of Thunderstorms
A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to the elementary school. As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with lightning. The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school and she feared the electrical storm might harm her child. Full of concern, the mother quickly got into her car and drove along the route to her child's school. As she did she saw her little girl walking along. At each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up, and smile. Another and another flash of lighting followed quickly and with each the little girl would look at the streak of light and smile. When the mother's car drew up beside the child she lowered the window and called to her 'What are you doing?' The child a answered 'I am trying to look pretty because God keeps taking my picture.'

May God bless you today and everyday as you face the storms that come your way...
