I Feel Good.

I just accomplished one of the most wonderful things I may ever do in my lifetime.  I organized, threw away, gave away or put into the proper place probably everything that was in my room, and I feel so great now!  It did take two days, and at first looked like a hopeless mess but today everything got caught up, my closet (Hayden will be happy to hear) has at least 1/2 the amount of clothes as before and even my sock drawer looks neater.  Since going through this, I feel qualified to give people mass cleaning advice, although I'm really not.  So here we go.  My plan may not be for everyone, so go into it willing to keep plugging along.

1.  Get Some Entertainment - this is not going to be an afternoon's work, more like two days work so get something to keep you occupied.  I discourage t.v. or movies because the picture can be very distracting, but books on tape or music are wonderful.  I spent my Mass Cleaning listening to the Narnia books on tape, most of which I'd never heard.  I did not get through all of them, two and a half or three.  But, back to my point, having entertainment can boost your mood. 

Fun, fun, fun.

2.  BEGIN! - Okay never go into a Mass Cleaning with an attitude of "I'm not sure if I can do this..."  If you think that than don't even start because you'll make a bigger mess!  Think Thomas the Tank Engine "I think know I can!"

Yes you can!

3.  Don't Sleep In The Same Room - If you sleep in the same messy room (this will most likely be more than a one day job) you'll wake up with an oh no, now this mess again feeling.

A nice, neat room... sweet dreams.

4.  Don't Be Afraid To Trash It -  Get a trash bag and DO NOT BE AFRAID to throw junk away.  Trust me, you most likely won't miss it, for the things you simply can't part with, put in a box.  My letters are in a cute little box and the trinkets I'm attached to, in a treasure chest shaped box.

This is good, very good.

5. You Control The Rest - since I want to watch a movie with my mom and brother I'm not going to finish this, sorry but from here you're on your own (who am I talking about "you," I don't think anyone besides Hayden and I read this).

Movieees

Movies I have been LOVING lately-

   

Alice In Wonderland

Despicable Me

Ramona and Beezus

I LOVE all three of these movies! Alice In Wonderland is SUCH a good movie!  I watched it with my brother's girlfriend and I don't think we said more than five worlds the entire time.  I was FASCINATED!  I suggest getting it as soon as possible.

Despicable Me was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute and FUNNY!!!!  My family watched it together and we were laughing half of the time, the characters are so cute!

Ramona and Beezus (or is it Beezus and Ramona it confuses me) is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!  Seriously one of the best movies I've seen in a while!!

Pedi

Brooklyn and I did at-home pedicures this weekend because we are weird about other people touching our feet (well I am).  If you are willing to devote two hours to your feet, I suggest you try it out too (B. Bentley).

(Who is who??!!!??!!)

Here is what we did/used!:

1.  Soak feet for ~10 minutes -we used warm water, shower gel and table salt :o

2.  Remove those cuticles girlfriend

3.  Exfoliate (we used loofahs)

*4.  For those of us who don't have the feet of a 13 year old...

5.  Buff and smooth (these things work wonders)

6.  Lotion up doll

7.  Clip and file (all the professionals say to cut your nails at a 45 degree angle, but we didn't understand that)

8. Polish pretty!!  Begin and end with this

Muaaaa,

-  H.A.B.

* Step four is optional, Brooklyn bypassed it (slacker).

The Student

This was NOT one of my favorite nights.  I had homework that was taking forever to finish, plus I was tired.  Thanks for snapping the picture Hayden.

Woah.

Morton

My Pillow Pet (a Christmas present from my brother), named Morton, has been LOVING his life with me! We play dress up, he gets to have my beautiful Barbies ride him, my little cousins ADORE him, and he, occasionally, gets to be slept on.  Morton is living the life...

Hehe

Fashionista Barbie is loving this...

They were probably wispering about how cute Morton is,  I mean, look at their smiles!

Two Followers, Two Blogs, Two Cousins

Yes we now have two followers (cheering and clapping).  For a little background information about our first two followers they both have blogs...  They are both our cousins...  This is when I am thankful for a nice family.  Here are both of their blogs!  Read and enjoy!  (hopefully Hayden, our two cousins and I aren't the only ones who read this post :/)

Cheese Gut

How to Make the Perfect Quesooo Dip:

Grab a bowl, add just a bit of milk and some Velveeta cut up into cubes.

Nuke it for about a minute.  

Stir; adjust time as needed.

Pair off with your munchie of choice (I prefer DORITOS, pretzels, tortilla chips and/or salsa).

Yummo

Cheese Jiggler

Overflow

Enjoy!

Rudolph the One-Eyed Reindeer

Not our best shot (Brooklyn is mid-power stance [?] and I look like Quasimodo), BUT it is worth sharing nonetheless- zoom in on the reindeer's eye...!

Creep.
