BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING!!

So I know I didn't to a post yesterday, but I was shopping for 16 hours, and I spent the night at my grandma's. We went to 8 stores at the mall, and I believe 3 other ones. I don't want to list them because I'm tired and lazy right now. I didn't buy anything, surprisingly, except a keychain for my friend. I forgot to look at the makeup, and if I did remember, they didn't have any I liked or it was too expensive. My mom did get me an early present of a lip gloss from Bath and Body Works, though, I'm really excited for that.

US Cellular recently started carrying iPhones, and to promote them, they were selling them on sale on Black Friday. THEY WERE A PENNY. ONE. CENT. I got mad because I couldn't get one, because I can't upgrade until July. By then, they'll be around their original price of $400 or $500. Ugh.

I was wearing my boots, from Justice, and by the end of the 16 hours, my heels were killing me. I don't know why, maybe it's because the soles are so solid? They're better now though, I just needed to sleep it off.

I'm going to sign off for now, I'm tired and too lazy to type much more. TTYL!

Turkey Day :)

Hello, and Happy Thanksgiving! I just got back from my aunt's a little while ago, because my brother got sick. I think it may have just been overeating though. The Oreo salad was amazing, just like I knew it would be!!! I spent the night at my older sister's apartment with her girlfriend's little sister. I was the first to fall asleep, as always! Of course, I woke up at 4:00, and was all alone until about 6 or 7 when my sister and the other girl woke up. After that, we watched the One Direction movie (All For One) until it was time to go. We dropped the other girl off, then went to get my nephew. Next we went back to the apartment, got ready, and went to my aunt's!

I've been begging to go shopping at like 4 am, because that just seems awesome (major adrenaline rush), but she said they'd only do that if they found something amazing. Cross your fingers they do!! I've only got like $15, but I don't plan on buying presents. It's not because I've got a cold heart, I'm making most of my gifts this year. My dad owes me & my sister like 2 weeks of allowance, so I'm looking at about $20! And my grandma is going to give me her pop cans, and possibly my older sister. So I'll place my final guess at my Black Friday shopping money at $25. Very good, very good.  At West Music, if you buy a silver-capped trumpet with gold accents, you get a FLUGLEHORN for $1. The only reason I want the fluglehorn (however you spell it) is because of the name, I'm really a flute player. Younker's, I know, is having a good sale, and I saw some coupons at Jo Ann Fabric's. When we look though ads, it's mostly wait until you see a store you like and then wait for someone to be done with it. There's always like 3 sets of ads though so it's usually not a long wait. Then we leave, shop, and go home! I really hope there's a lot of people, I think that'd be so cool. Last year, the stores were basically empty. My family thinks I'm crazy for wanting there to be a lot of people, but hey, this is only my second time Black Friday shopping. It's a rite of passage; you can't go Black Friday shopping until you turn 12. I think I'm a pretty good shopper: I don't usually complain until shopping for a couple hours without food or rest breaks, and I'm actually not that bad about asking for stuff.

So that's really all I have to write about now, maybe I'll do another post later!Iffy though, because there's going to be a lot of people here, with 4 little kids, 4 adults, and 2 teens. Full house!

Cutie Pie

I'm sorry for the stupid title, I chose that one because I'm making pies with my grandma after we have our after-school ice cream. I'm so excited for Thanksgiving, because I've got family coming down from Wisconsin, and the whole Oreo Salad thing. What are you guys doing for Thanksgiving and Black Friday?

Got to go, time for ice cream!! :)

-LizzyBeth

IDK A Title

I don't really have anything to talk about today, so I'm just going to ramble ahahaha. 

I'm going to try to figure out how to upload Google Forms to this blog, and then I'll do a weekly survey or something. Wish me luck! Oh yeah, and comment if you have any ideas for surveys. This is a short post because I'm going to go try and figure this out; more than likely I'll do another post later.

Blog Quiz

If you would look around your screen, I've remodeled! I get bored with colors and how my blog looks every so often, and I added a bunch of stuff! Hope you like it! Please comment and tell me how you like it, and what I could do better!!

So I'm obsessed with taking quizzes to find out what I should blog about now. Here's what one site said:
"Cute pics, blog drama, whatever it takes to get traffic.
You're notorious ... either loved or hated by all!You complain about the attention your blog receives, but you secretly love it.You'd feel lonely if you didn't have any admirers or enemies."
Sorry it's so big!

And then I got bored trying to find quizzes. :)

POSTA

So I was at Walmart with my dad, and I'm looking at the magazines by the checkout because that is how I roll. So I look, and I see a magazine out of the ordinary: Seventeen. I had literally JUST looked at the magazine section and the didn't have it. But this one was wrapped up in plastic, probably to protect the gift the people gave you. Guess what the gift was A ONE DIRECTION POSTER WOOP WOOP. Ok so I love One Direction and if you can't respect me for that then you don't deserve me. I hung that up, and I read the magazine. It's got mini-interviews with the boys, and I couldn't find Niall or Zayn. So I look at the other poster (yes, I got two!!) and both of them are on the back of the poster. I had already torn it out, because it's a group picture. I have issues with showing favoritism, But I have the poster with JUST Louis, because that's the poster the magazine came with. Trust me, I don't have a favorite, or a least favorite.

This is going to be really braggy, but I need to say this. My eyelashes look AMAZING today. Sometimes my mascara clumps really bad and there's nothing I can do to change it. Today though, I took a shower, which "resets" them and brings them back to their original state. If I'm really careful, they turn out like they did today! My left eye always looks better though, but that's because I'm right handed.

I need you guys' help. I've been saving up for a shopping trip with my cousin right? Well, I want to get some UGG boots for high school. I've got $100 saved up now. The ones I want are $155, so here's my plan. I'll keep saving, then buy them DURING the shopping trip with my cousin! Ohmigosh I feel so smart.

I'm going to go tell my family about my genius idea, toodles!

Deletion

I deleted my Stories page. I kinda didn't want to, but I wasn't doing anything with it and it just kinda sat there, so I got rid of it! I want to add pages to my blog to make the site more interesting, but I don't have any ideas. Comment for ideas?

Thanksgiving is this Thursday, holy cow! I'm going to go down to my aunt's, and my godmother, godfather, and their 2 kids (my godcousins, just in case I mention them in the future) are going to spend the night here Wednesday, Thursday, and probably Friday night. I'm not sure what day they're leaving, but then again, I usually never am until they're packing their stuff.

My mom or older sister always makes Oreo Salad, and oh my gosh I live for that stuff. It's a regular dish at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and we've mixed up the recipe a few times but it wasn't as good. After we finish cooking the food and eat, the kids play and then we all bring out the Black Friday ads. I'm not part of that circle now, because I've reached the age that I can go B.F. shopping now. There've been times where the women have left at 4, but that depends on if there's a lot of stuff they want to buy. I'm not going to do a lot of shopping, because I plant on making most of my gifts, but I need to buy some magazines, makeup possibly, and of course little presents for my mom, dad, siblings, etc. Just immediate family.

So I'm on this website with ideas what to blog about. (http://www.omegaweb.com/teenagers-choosing-a-blog-topic-to-write-about/) It says, "The first thing you should think about is what you’re interested in. If you do nothing but spend time practicing cheerleading, then you should create a blog about cheer and how to perform different stunts and things of that nature. If you consider yourself very social, you could write articles to help shy teens come out of their shell and make more friends. If you have a large supply of makeup and clothing, you could start a blog about beauty products… The bottom line is to choose something you are interested in and will continue to be interested in down the road. Remember that just because you like Japanese anime right now doesn’t mean you’ll like it two years down the road."
Well then. I'm not in cheer, I'm NOT social (very shy), and I have a blog about clothes and makeup. As most of my readers know, this blog is about anything and everything, nothing in particular. I took a quiz, and it said I should blog about "Life". Appropriate, considering that's what I do.

School

I am honestly surprised that Thanksgiving is next week. I think I know what I'm going to wear to my aunt's, but I'm honestly not sure.

I have so much homework, but I'm just going to work on it a little bit at a time. Here's what I have to do:
Type things to be printed for an ELP poster. Due in December, but I have a lot to do.
Read the Westing Game and answer questions. Due Monday, but I forgot the questions. Whoops.
Get donations for a walk a thon. Money due Monday. I walked 16 laps in two days, so I'm going to have to remember to tell people that if they pay per lap. I wasn't able to ask people before AFTER the walking happen, but I have a feeling most of the donations are going to be one-time.

Enough about school now, I'm going to talk about happy stuff. I stayed until 9 o'clock (Central Time) today, and I'm on my mom's laptop in my room right now. I think today's just going to be a lazy day. I'm sorry for the boring and short post, but I'm going to go do some homework. Love you all!

-LizzyBeth

Happenings

I'm kind of freaking out right now. Because of the gas leak, I couldn't go back in the classroom and grab my homework folder. That had homework for THREE classes. One assignment is due Friday, and one is a really important long-term one I want to get started on. Speaking of the long-term one, which is for ELP, I'd like to do something. Thank you to all of those people who took my survey. You were such a big help you have no idea. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

My friend is coming over to spend the night on Wednesday!! Her parents are going to a concert and don't want her being home alone (they live in kind of a bad neighborhood) so she's coming over here. Her and my twin sister share a lot of the same interests, and I know I'm going to be the third wheel. They have so much more in common then my friend and I do and they're going to hog the computer if my mom brings it home. Please help me guyssssss. 

I'm taking a babysitting class on the Red Cross website, and so far it's pretty cool! I need to finish one more section and then it's the final test. My parents said I could babysit without it, but if it would help my confidence then they'd pay the $25. It's worth it though, I have learned a bunch. I made a babysitting binder and I have a notebook to write stuff down in and everything. I really love little kids, and I've been told I could run my own daycare. I don't think I would want to though, because I've got other dreams and it'd be really loud and I wouldn't be able to concentrate. I'll just stay with the small business, if you don't mind!

So I'm thinking about how Bethany Mota is getting her own clothing line, and how one of my BFFs is thinking about becoming a YouTuber. That's something I would really like to do, but how can I when my parents won't let me show my face online? Maybe I can convince them somehow, like if I wore a paper bag over my head whenever I filmed. Or possibly a mask. Or maybe for my next birthday I could wish for the ability to make and post YouTube videos. And also a Facebook. I'm thinking of starting a blog just dedicated to clothes and makeup, but still keeping this one. What do you guys think??

Also, I'm changing my URL! It's now http://myteenagelife37.blogspot.com/. I picked 37 because I like the way the numbers sound. I'm such a nerd.

It's A Zoo

I'm at my house right now and my brother and my nephew are being so LOUD. My brother is whistling and my nephew was playing with this fake, plastic drill. There was a gas leak at school today and we got let out 10 minutes early. At first we smelled rotten eggs but they said it was broccoli casserole. WHAT. Then we smelled real gas and went to the library. The smell followed us, so we evacuated. Since it was so close to the end of the day, we didn't go to our alternate site, we just went hoe. Keep in mind, it was 10 minutes early. I didn't have time to grab my homework folder (which majorly stinks), but I did grab my flute and band stuff. That was only because they told us to go to our lockers, and my band stuff was right on top or my coat and backpack. One of my BFF's lost her iPod at school, and the other just got back from a cruise! She went to Florida, Haiti, Jamaica, and some other country. I'm so jealous omg.

That's all for now, sorry this is such a short post!

-LizzyBeth

Nooooooooo

Ugh I just realized tomorrow is Monday!! No! I won't let it! I used to really love school, but now I'm just kinda...eh. So does anyone watch Grey's Anatomy? I'm watching the one with Code Black right now, and I think it's one of the best ones I've seen so far. I watch TV dhows on Netflix, because then I don't have to worry about missing episodes. My mom has them all on DVD, but I'm lazy and don't like taking the time to put in the DVD's and switch them. Plus, Netflix is unlimited movies and TV for $8 a month, so I want to take advantage of that. Addison is really starting to grow on me to be honest. :)

When I was younger, I hated pink and anything girly. I don't remember exactly when it happened, but now pink is my favorite color and I'm one of the girly girls you hear about. Well, not exactly. I'm not afraid to break a nail (unless it hurts), or get my clothes dirty (kind of depends on what clothes though) and basically do some guy stuff.

Hey I just remembered that today my mom is probably going to take my brother, my twin sister and I to the mall!! She needs to get her nails done, and while she's doing that, the chiddlers will go to the play area. After that, we will walk around and look at stuff.

That's all for right now, I'll probably do another post later! Byeeeee

School Project

So I have to do a survey for a school thing, and it's going really great! I need to get 25 more responses by Monday, and I've only got like 8. I'm asking like everyone in my contacts though so it should work out! Yesterday, 2 of my friends started screaming at me because I told them I didn't like Starbucks. Before you all start freaking out, listen to WHY I don't like it.
a) I hate coffee in general
b) I had their hot chocolate, but it was too sweet. I have a sensitive stomach, cause by gerd. Comment to know more about that, if you want.
So yeah, that kind of irritated me. Why is it any of their business what I like to drink??

Ugh I'm getting excited for Black Friday again. Comment and tell me what stores you're going to, if you're going! I think today I might work on getting my "business" out there. Just to family friends, of course. Last week, my older sister, my twin sister, my older sister's girlfriend and her younger sister all went to the mall. It was really fun, because since my older sister moved out, I haven't seen her that much and I kind of miss her. Maybe I'll see if she wants to do anything later on! She works though, so that might be kind of difficult. Well she's moving into her apartment today, so that won't work.

I am proud to say that I have finally got like 9/10 of my band assignment down! It's probably the hardest one I've have all year, and I'm only stuck on part B of a duet. My goal is to practice 200 minutes a week, and I'm at like 180 or something. My mom is sleeping right now, so of course I can't practice when I'm in the mood to. Oh well, that's just something I'm going  to have to deal with!

I'm really shy, in person, and kind of chatting online too, like in Google Hangouts. Being shy kind of stinks, so I'm going to try to break out of my shell. It's hard though, because I'm scared I'm going to annoy people. I'm sure it'll come in time. IDK why I'm like this, I think I have been since I was little.

I did a vlog earlier, but I'm unable to post it on my blog. My parents won't let me because of the whole Internet safety thing. Maybe I can see about convincing them to let me to slogs, sound blogs. I'd just record me saying stuff and then upload it! My face wouldn't be shown and you can't track someone using their voice: it's the perfect compromise! I'm really sorry I keep jumping from topic to topic, I just type it as I think it! That's all for today, bye lovelies!

-LizzyBeth

School

So I haven't figured out how to do this yet, but I want to upload a Google Form to my blog so people can answer it. If you know how to do this, please comment!!! It'll be so helpful, and I'll give you a shoutout or something on Google+

Happiness

I'm at my grandma and grandpa's right now, thinking about my cousin's blog. I'm not going to put the web address on her for privacy reasons, but she does a lot of blogging about food she makes with her friends. So far, there've been 2 recipes I can think of right now that I think are AMAZING. One is this recipe for spaghetti bread, and one is grilled cheese pull-apart rolls. I'm going to try and convince my grandma to at least make the rolls. She probably will I think, but we won't make them for a while.

What are you all doing for the holidays? I frost cookies at my grandma's house every year with the rest of my family, and we have dinner at either my grandma and grandpa's or my house. This Thanksgiving is actually going to be at my aunt's this year, which we did last year. It was really fun, especially the part when we looked at Black Friday sales. That year I think was my favorite because it was the first year I actually got to go with them. Two more traditions I like are going around to look at holiday lights and having a mini-Christmas at my house (opening presents from Mom, Dad and Santa, eating candy from stockings, etc...). After that, we go over to my grandparents' house, or get ready for everyone to come over to our place.

I know I'm kind of jumping from topic to topic, but they just fall out of my brain and start dancing around on the keyboard. Sorry if it's annoying :(

If any of you are looking for a good book, I recommend QUARENTINE by Lex Thomas. It's about this high school who gets infected with a deadly disease (that infects them unless they can get away) as soon as they graduate high school. The government basically barricades the students from their families, and high school becomes more dangerous than before. Everyone joins a "gang" to protect and be protected, and they fight to the death...over food. Which is precious, because I think food only is dropped once a week, maybe a day I'm not sure. It's just too much to explain, but YOU SHOULD ALL READ IT FOR SURE please do!!!

-LizzyBeth

Story

I'm writing a story! :) It's about this girl who wins an all expenses paid trip to Chicago! I'm going to type it and put it on this blog. It'll get it's own page though, so you won't have to go hunting for it. Thanks for viewing, and tell all your friends!
-LizzyBeth

FEAR

Ok so you guys know I have a Pottermore right? I FORGOT MY USERNAME AND PASSWORD AND THE EMAIL THAT SENDS MY INFORMATION ISN'T COMING WHAT DO I DO SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drama

So I'm kind of in a fight with one of my ex-friends. I'm not going to go into real deep detail, but here's the gist: I got tired of her making up stuff about me and telling people, or telling people things she knew I didn't want to be told, so I broke off my friendship. She's trying to get me to be friends with her again, but I'm not doing that a second time. Now let's talk about happy stuff!

We got a new piece of music to learn in band, Here Comes Santa Claus. It's really cool-sounding, but kind of hard. It's for this band festival a couple grades of band go to. Even though it's not until January, I'm super excited! (In case I haven't said anything, I play flute.) We're doing a winter concert in December too, but that's just for the students, no parents or anything. Our open-to-the-public concert is in January, a little bit before the festival. 

I am now able to watch Grey's Anatomy! This is kind of a big thing because I haven't been able to since I was too young to understand what was going on. Comment and tell me what shows you like to watch!
