My Birthday

        Last Friday was my birthday. We have a friend who shares the same birthday with me, and she invited us to a sleepover. First we watched the movie Dolphin Tale, it is definately on my top three favorite movies list, but I'll do a review later. After the movie, we came back to their house and ate dinner. Then we made up crazy, random songs and watched another movie. The next morning, we woke up really early for our mom to take us straight to St. John Bosco Youth Day. We stayed almost the whole day, but had to leave early because my grandma and grandpa were coming to dinner to celebrate my birthday. I took lots of pictures, which will be coming later.

Table Topics

     Today for Toastmasters Youth Leadership Program, Red Riding Hood had to give a speech. I gave one last week, and today I was Table Topics Master. The job of Table Topics Master is to give each table topics speaker a topic, which they have to speak about for 1-2 minutes.  They don't know what the the topics are going to be, so it helps improvisation skills. Here are the topics I gave them. They were all on the theme of fantasy creature how-tos. (not in order). Not all of these were used; one girl was sick.

        -How to prepare and cook dragon meat.
        -How to catch a leprechaun. 
        -How to ride Pegasus.
        -How to catch a criminal shapeshifter.
        -How to hunt a unicorn.
        -How to housetrain a pet phoenix.
        -How to do a giant's hair.
        -How to find a fairy.

     Over all, it went pretty well for Red Riding Hood and me. Bad things that happened- I accidentally skipped someone and didn't realize until it was over, and we were driving home. Judging from the reactions and speeches of the Table Topics speakers, I think these topics were a little too difficult. What do you think? (keep in mind that they have no time to gather their thoughts before hand, they literally have to think and spaek at the same time).

      The conditioner is found!


          Three days till my birthday!!!

Lost Conditioner

        I haven't been brushing my hair a lot lately. I've been combing it. Combing is a lot better for your hair and brushing creates a lot of static that makes hair FRIZZY. So, for the most part, my hair is getting healthier, especially because I don't do swimming any more. That was until last night. Last night I was going to take a shower, and I couldn't find the conditioner. I tried to use leave in conditioner, and it helped, but it still is leave in conditioner, it isn't supposed to be used as a replacement for regular condititoner. My hair was a nightmare to comb through. I had tons of breakage. I really need conditioner before I take my next shower!

          I sprained my ankle yesterday. Two people I know had sprained ankles last week. One of them I was just talking to at mass. Really soon after I came home, I sprained mine. It's contagious! 

        Four days until my birthday! I can't wait!
