Dear Diary,
Holy Smokies, its been a while eh?! I have been sitting on my butt being all bored this evening, so I decided to make the best of my home alone state. I put on the ugliest sweater I could find and listened to depressing music and Disney (of course), obviously both put me through an emotional roller coaster. I even danced around and made stupid distorted faces in the mirror making myself slightly terrified of my own face. Yeah, I did a lot of exciting things in around 15 min. Yet I can't help but feel this overwhelming sense of boredom... which is weird because I don't ever have those emotions lately (working everyday and school and social life and what not). Soooo What am I going to write about then??
How about...
My sweater... its life and story in a mystical tale.
Once upon a time, there lived a sweater, and it had terrible self esteem. Teenagers and classy ladies would walk by take one look at it and grimace, uttering the same words "HA THATS AN UGLY SWEATER!". This hurt the poor sweaters feelings. It hung on its usual hanger, being pushed from left to right as eager mothers searched through the racks. The little ugly sweater began to lose hope in finding someone that would love it and all of its ugliness... when one day a plain girl walks into the dusty thrift store. She scanned the room when suddenly her eyes rested on the sweater, the sweater stared back in alarm. The cruel words always came, but this time it was different... The girl smiled with content. This was of course new to the humble ugly sweater, taken a back it watched as the girl walked up to feel its itchy material. She whispered "You are the one" The little ugly sweater and its flabby sleeves, itchy wool, and weird patterns life was made. He was bought for $6.35, said goodbye to its awful hanger and wrapped its warm wool around the girl. Giving her a hug of pure ugliness, and they skipped away. The girl no longer plain, the sweater no longer alone. And they skipped into the sunset, to be mocked together. Forever.
Don't cry now. I know its emotional. This is love...

Food baby
Dear Diary,
Easter... is a beautiful time. But who ever decided Easter should involve chocolate, probably died from all the teenage girls sitting on him/her. Squishing that poor soul to death from all the weight gained from the huge amounts of chocolate consumed.
I am usually pretty good at avoiding food I shouldn't have, or taking just small amounts. But today once I walked through the door, there was LITERALLY a HUGE BUCKET absolutely FILLED with devilish CHOCOLATE! I was hoping that the hooligan gang of 12 year old boys had eaten it all up the day before at the Carter Family Easter BBQ. I mean it makes sense! Where else did they get all that energy!? They were bouncing off the stars!
Anyway, of course me being a girl... in the same room with this bucket of chocolate... with no one else in the room... I just stared at it. That chocolate and I had a stare down... NO SURPRISE... it won. I jumped on the couch flicked on Netflix, watched a super depressing movie and hoped to eat only a couple chocolates (3 or 4). But I ended up consuming so much, that I ended up eating off my belly like some obese hippo. (Yeah hippos are already fat, now imagine an obese hippo... Isn't pretty!) WHY WOULD SOMEONE LEAVE A BUCKET OF CHOCOLATE ON THE COUCH?! WHY?!
PLEASE OH PLEASE. If you have a teenage girl living in your home... unless you want to be sat on and be squished like the person at the beginning of this post... don't, I repeat DON'T leave a bucket of chocolate on a couch in front of the TV. Although she will act like she is in heaven at the moment, in a matter of seconds when all the chocolate is gone, you will see a food baby protruding from her stomach and fiery eyes screaming for the guilty to admit he/she was the culprit for this terrible sin. You don't want to be the one sat on... Trust me.

The Devil
Dear Diary,
I heard it again in the darkness of the night. Scratching... it started little by little every night... always taking me by surprise and fear. Fear that the noise would come closer, and it did... Every night the beast became more comfortable to my slow, warm breathing. I would hide under the warmth of my covers and wait till the light of day would stream through my blinds. Making the night monster disappear, slinking back to its hiding spot.
I go through my day and see where it attacked. Viciously mauling my furniture, moving its way to the garbage. The lack of happy singing birds, curiously missing from every morning. I know it's the monster's doing... What kind of a devilish creature lives in my home?
Each night it get's closer, until finally my peaceful room becomes disturbed by another presence... I peer out from under my blankets and see it's yellow dragon eyes. It moves an inch closer at every blink my eyes demand. I know I will be its next meal. The devil climbs on to my springy bed, never taking it's eyes off mine. Crouching down, its inhuman heart beat rhythmically to my own. It's claws extend, it's back legs spring. Landing on my face, I scream as the devil rips at my face with its evil fangs. I grabb it by the scruff of its neck, I throw the creature away from me. Switch on the lamp and holler "PHOEBE!! YOU STUPID CAT!! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" She slinks out of my carpeted bedroom with out taking her beady eyes off of me, hissing her cruel curses at me. When the Devil finally disappears, I flick off the light and sleep peacefully for the rest of the night.

English hotty
Dear Diary,
I walk into my English class... Set my back-pack down, pulled out my binder, pens, books, and start doodling (out of habit). Unexpectedly, the air around me changes. The boy detector in my brain starts buzzing in my ear. When I finally look up to see what has caused the alarm...In slow motion.... Picture this... The CUTEST... I mean the CUTEST Boy walks in... sloww moottioonn... As he steps through the door my jaw drops. My eyes transfixed! I stop breathing, hoping he doesn't notice my drool as it trickles down my chin, onto my doodle of a submarine.
My whole world shatters as I stare this boy down. All of a sudden, his perfect blue eyes meet mine. My eyes widen in terror and embarrassment. I quickly look down at my drool puddle, and wipe my chin. Holy Smokies... I am going to be in the same class as this DUDE?! and he is going to sit ACROSS from me?! Wow... the universe must love me.
Yupp :) Although I like to pretend I am too good for guys, or make fun of girls that do the exact same thing that I just did... Its true... I am also a girl... and this is a guy... Dont judge me.

Zoning out
Dear Diary,
I have this strange habit where I zone out.
I zone out in the middle of a conversation with someone, I zone out while watching a movie and I then have to rewind, I zone out walking in the street, and even zone out in the middle of eating and end up choking, then needing the assistance of someone to slap my back. Because I once again, forgot about the system of chew and swallow. Although my face goes blank, my brain is going all over the place with crazy thoughts. For example...
I was actually in the middle of making lunch one day when I discovered I needed another ingredient for my delicious masterpiece. But when I swung open the fridge door, I instantly zoned out and forgot what I was doing. The world around me no longer existed All that I was conscious of... was the fridge...
My brain started to get excited at the sound of the bottles that clanked at the door opening so suddenly, that I began to wonder what the fridge would look like inside during an earthquake. So with out hesitation, I wrapped my arms around the fridge. Making sure to keep the door open to see what it looked like inside. I began to shake, but because of my noodle arms containing no muscles, the fridge barely budged. This time finding all the strength from my whole body, and channeling the little strength I had from my abs (Well... the abs I didn't have) I shook the fridge so hard bottles clanked, milk spilt, lettuce danced and I was thrilled by the chaos that was held in this cold box.
Suddenly, I went back into consciousness. The clouds disappeared the stars faded and the sounds around me finally spilt through my ears. Then I noticed that there was almost no sound to be heard, but a stifled giggle. My family stood there, all with frozen expressions looking at me with disbelief, at my sudden insanity. My father stood a good while off with a sandwich in hand. With wide eyes he questioned Slowly "Tanisha... what... are you doing??". I then became aware of what I was doing. With my arms still around the fridge I took them back and answered "Just wondering what the fridge would look like inside during an earthquake". At that comment my family burst out in laughter. Not with me, because I believed it made total sense. But AT me... What a cruel world.

"I need help"
Dear Diary,
Malia, Cheyenne, Zeek and I went on an adventure today. It was such an enjoyable adventure filled with sitting under a blanket tent on top of a mountain, playing tag in the park, and watching the sun go down as we chased seagulls on the beach. Driving home from our fun time we suddenly got a craving for something bad. Probably because we have all been strict on ourselves with what kind of food we consume, this crazed junk food craving led us to A&W. (Which I regret so much now... because I feel so nasty inside!)
After eating, Zeek went into the Mens bathroom and told me to wait out side the door because I already had to explain to him that girl's can't go into boy's bathrooms. So while I was waiting I heard lots of noise going on inside. I hear a slam, a pitter patter of little running feet and water making all kinds of splashing sounds. Next thing I know I see the door swing open beside me and there stands little 4 year old Zeek. Yelling out, so all of A&W could hear "I NEED HELP". Obviously I am not going into the mens bathroom to check it out (I am too wimpy). So I take him into the girls bathroom wash his hands and hope what ever he did in the bathroom wasn't THAT bad...
Sorry A&W employees for what ever surprise my 4 year old cousin has left you!

The Adventures of a 2 year old.
Dear Diary,
There once lived this 2 year old that liked to get into everything.
Her name is Agnes, but I like to call her Aggy.
Most of the time I don't notice her getting into things, until its too late.
For example:
Aggy asks for a drink of water. So me wanting to be a good human being, I gave her a cup of water. That was a bad idea, because that showed her HOW to get the water. I walk out of the room for a couple seconds, then walk back into the kitchen.
There she was, with out a shirt...dumping water on the floor and throwing bits of dog food to make her delicious, kitchen floor stew just THAT much more tasty. To my horror she then bent down to drink from her creation on the floor. Grabbing her I run to the bathroom, sit her on the toilet and run to drop a towel on the kitchen floor. But to my amazement once I run back to aid the sopping wet 2 year old, I find she has also learned how to use the bathroom sink as well! I grab her again under one arm, and reach for another towel to soak up the new mess on the bathroom floor and take her to the living room to wait as I clean the bathroom. once I get to the 'delicious stew' on the kitchen floor I noticed that Aggy made it back to the kitchen, to grab another drink of water, but not from the mess on the floor no... but from the dog dish.... shrieking in horror I grab her once more. I put her under an arm as I fumble around the living room in search of a remote. I click on 'Max & Ruby', flop her on the couch and instantly she is glued to the TV. I now have a safe chance to run around the house with towels and spoons. The towels to soak up the puddles all over the house, and the spoons to scoop up the soggy dog food from the floor. Before I get back to the living room I grab a shirt for Aggy and pull it over her mischievous smile. kneeling down to her height I plea "Please Aggy.... can that be enough adventuring for one day?"
THE END.

Tanisha is terrible at partying. 2013
Dear Diary,
2013 is here!! And we didn't die! Woohoo!! That was actually the worst apocalypse ever. I feel bad for the people that didn't plan their lives after December 21st!
Believe it or not, but I was invited to a ton of parties for New Years this time! I felt super popular! But me being my anti social self, decided I didn't really want to hang out with my friends but stay home and celebrate with my family. We had some of my older sister Malia's YSA friends come by with a ton of instruments and big speakers. I was in a mellow mood, so I ditched everyone for a chocolate muffin in my moms bed and my dads computer as I watched Star trek the motion picture (Very first movie made) It was actually killer boring at the beginning... I admit it.. So I stopped to watch X factor on Youtube. Yay! Tanisha is terrible at partying!! This was how I spent 9 hours... I am just a little ashamed, but I feel like everyone needs a little mellow party for themselves every once in a while!
SO if you are ever feeling the need to escape a party, I suggest stuffing your shirt with a bunch of junk, find an empty room, and a TV or computer and party it up! I can actually see myself doing this during my wedding reception...So when the bride is missing from the scene and the groom is frantically searching for her, then you will know where she will be!! (The bathroom floor stuffing herself with cake.)
HAVE A FANTASTIC YEAR!

Tofino caught on camera.
Dear Diary!
Just got back from camping in Tofino! I just so happened to snatch the camera away from my mom and these are just a few of my favourite pictures from the bunch! I very much enjoyed capturing the fun moments with my family and friends on camera!
(None of these photo's have been edited in any way)
Take a look!

Day 3
My favorite food is JELLOO!!! It just brings me so much joy while eating it! It sways as I scoop it and it jiggles while I giggle! When I first saw the movie 'Cloudy with a chance of meatballs' The jello scene made me so happy! I wish I could make a Jello kingdom!

Day 2
DAY 2: Your favorite animal
My favorite animal is the BLACK BEAR!! They are so cute and... black! I love all kinda of animals and I just couldn't choose which one was my favorite! But one day in elementary school a little girl came up to me and said "Tanisha! What is your favorite animal!?" I answered with "ALL ANIMALS!!" She looked at me disappointed and said her favorite was the dolphin... then our sad conversation ended. After that I went home and thought REALLYY hard what could be my favorite animal if I had to choose just one! I looked on my bed and there he was...Mr. Teddy. I love bears! I discovered I loved them so much that I strangled one every night! (Slept) But I must say the black bear is my favorite out of all the bears. And I happily have them living right here on the island!

Day 1
When I read the first challenge to draw myself I thought "Eh! That will be EASY!" And then once I got a pen and paper in hand I went blank. "I can't just draw myself! I have to get my personality into these pictures!" Soo I decided to draw my self flying. I have always wanted to fly. To talk with the birds, and spend some quality time with the stars. (As you can see, I forgot to add clouds and such. But I think you get the idea!)

Lacrosse
Dear Diary,
I joined a Lacrosse team, its so fun! This is my first time playing Lacrosse ever, but I seemed to have picked it up really quick. Although I am kind of super clumsy and fall randomly, I seem to do it a tad bit less on the field! Maybe because the cleats give me more support?! Who knows, I am just glad it's working out.
I know what you might be thinking "Wow Tanisha you're so violent!" Or "What a woMAN!" But sorry to inform you... Girls Lacrosse is a 'No contact' sport. "BOO!!" (Says the audience) I KNOW! Every time someone catches the ball in their net I have to keep my self from tripping them as they run past or whacking them upside the head. Its even harder to stop myself in mid air when I am flying to pounce on them! BUT I have self control I discovered.
Besides if I did play the game like that then there would be a lot of bloody noses. The only gear we wear is a mouth guard... and skirts. Yupp Girls in skirts and mouth guards! What an intense sport!
Okay enough of making fun of Women's lacrosse... because technically I play it! AND GLAD I DO! Its super fun! So if you ever just so happen to see me during a game and I am clutching my stick so hard it makes my knuckles white, just know thats me using self control. WINK!

Every time someone catches the ball in their net I have to keep my self from tripping them as they run past or whacking them upside the head. Its even harder to stop myself in mid air when I am flying to pounce on them! BUT I have self control I discovered.
Besides if I did play the game like that then there would be a lot of bloody noses. The only gear we wear is a mouth guard... and skirts. Yupp Girls in skirts and mouth guards! What an intense sport!
Okay enough of making fun of Women's lacrosse... because technically I play it! AND GLAD I DO! Its super fun! So if you ever just so happen to see me during a game and I am clutching my stick so hard it makes my knuckles white, just know thats me using self control. WINK!

Valentines Day
Dear Diary,
I know I am late posting for Valentines day! But this valentines day was different from most.
Every valentines in my life has been the same. Wake up, go on with my day and then half way through remember it was Valentines day and quickly cut out a couple hearts for my closest friends then go home and sleep. Nothing special! BUT THIS TIME!! I truly failed with the Valentines making. I helped decorate cookies for the team at work (The Shaw Ocean Discovery Center) and discussed with a coworker while cutting out paper sharks, of how she was planning on dumping her boy friend on Valentines day in Vancouver because she discovered he had been cheating on her (Glad I don't have the drama!) Then right after I went to the Schafers and had a silly little Valentines party, played some games, then watched a 50's scary movie... Called THE INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS!! DUM DUM DUM!! I only screamed ONCE! And that's only because everyone was screaming at every silly thing, and when there was an actually real scary scene I was already on edge by that point :) AFTER that I went home and watched a Bollywood chick flick with my sister Cheyenne (Bollywood is Indie Hollywood FYI) Till 2:00 in the morning, It was a fun day! And for once I enjoyed myself. I always had issues with Valentines day growing up. Mostly because I was in Public school for most of it and my impression of Valentines day meant that I had to have a 'boy' and if I didn't then it meant there was something wrong with me. So when I went back to homeschooling I avoided Valentines day like it was the plague. But this year I discovered that Valentines day isn't about silly crushes, and all that lovey dovey nonsense that isn't for my age yet, but it was for people that was important to me, and I cared about like my family, and friends. I may not have made big Fancy Nancy cards for my friends or gave chocolates to my family. But I let them know in a real way that I really do love them, and I can't live with out them. So since you are reading this, and if I didn't give you a big hug for Valentines day for what ever reason then I will give a late belated Valentines hug!
HAPPY BELATED VALENTINES DAY!

Sledding Accident.
Dear Diary,
Something so terrible happened! It has snowed like crazy here!! schools are closed, and lots of the city's store's are closed till the roads get better. Since School is out, all the kids pull out their sleds that have been hiding in the shed over the summer, and find the steepest hill to zip down! Me and my siblings were part of this sledding endeavor. Cheyenne, Sierra, Shae, Me, Gok, Jaryd,and Jacob Palfrey went to a road called Haliburton road that was super steep! This hill was curved and sketchy, but as dumb kids we found it as an adventure ready to be conquered. We all go one by one, Zipping down the hill with uncontrollable speed. Being the wimp I am, I went down slowly keeping my legs in front to stop me every once in a while when I felt like I was going to fast. I didn't like the idea of not knowing what was on the bottom of the hill so in my own way, I was scoping it out. half way to the bottom, a cement road block comes into view to greet me. I stop myself a couple feet from it pick up the sled and decide this hill is to dangerous. On my way to tell everyone that the hill we were sledding down probably wasn't the safest choice, I see Jacob and Shae sharing a tube, speed past me. My eyes follow them as they go down the hill and watch as the tube starts to turn around, which puts them in the position of flying down the hill backwards. I yell out to watch out but it was no use. They crashed right into the Cement road block, Shae hitting it right on, and snaps her leg on the side of the cement block. I hear, her yelling but I can't make out the words. It sounds like she is laughing but why would she still be lying down? I laugh nervously yelling to her "NICE WIPE OUT!" Then I understand what she is yelling.. "I CANT FEEL MY LEG!" suddenly I realize her laughing actually sounds like crying. I run down the hill in desperation as fast as I can, dropping my sled. I find her with her hood covering her face. I lift it up praying that she is laughing, and I realize she is crying, streams of tears covering her face. I look to her legs trying to figure out what is going on, and I see her left leg looks odd. I lift it at around the calf area and find that it flops in an unnatural way, Shae screams out in pain, I spring into action. "SHAE BROKE HER LEG!!" I scream with desperation. My hand reaches for the phone in my jacket and fumbles for the numbers that first come to my head. As I run up the hill as fast I can the phone is ringing in my ear, and kids are rushing down the hill looking at my distressed face as we cross each others paths. Finally a voice interups my thoughts through my ear. "Hello?", "MOM! SHAE BROKE HER LEG! WHAT DO I DO?"I yell into the phone trying to stay calm. "Shae WHAT? Call 911 quick!" I hung-up with out saying good bye. I reach the top of the hill and tell Jaryd that Shae broke her leg. He looks at me with shock and runs down the hill with out a single word and I break out in a steady run down the hill trying not to slip at the same time and fumbling on the tiny blackberry punching the numbers '911' in and slamming the phone up to my ear once more, waiting with urgency for a voice... Finally- "911 what is your emergency?" I try to steady my voice but it doesn't seem to work ."WE WeRe SLedDinG aNd MY CouSIn BRokE hEr LEG!" My voice wobbles, while I try to keep in my tears and from blacking out. The lady on the other end tells me to wait, and a man comes onto the line and asks where I am. "I Am aT HiLBurTon RoAD" I got to the bottom of the hill to find Shae's head on top of Cheyenne's lap, crying saying "It hurts so bad!". The man on the other end of the line interrupts my panicky thoughts once more. "What did you say?" I realized that I was no help at all, so I quickly tell the man to talk to my friend, I shove the phone into Jaryd's face "Tell them where we are" I say to him. Jaryd takes and phone and calmly tells the paramedics all the details. I kneel down to Shae sprawled on the ground and notice her green face. I reassure her that everything is going to be okay and that an ambulance is coming for her.
The Ambulance came 10 minutes later following close was my dad and my sister Malia. By that time I had already ran up and down the hill 6 times trying to keep my sanity.The paramedics had all the men carry up Shae. Never, since I have known her have I heard her scream, and cry in so much agony when they carried her to the top of that hill.
Shae is now in the hospital, she just finished getting surgery, and they are now in the middle of mending her leg now.
I have discovered how brave my Shae is. She kept Surprisingly calm for a broken girl, and I was the one freaking out. I did what I could at the moment, but when I witness an accident My mind just doesn't process properly like other peoples might. I am just glad Shae just broke her leg and didn't crack her head or worse. I love my Shae! This whole thing has been devastating to me! It was hard to see her in that state, and I have missed her terribly! I love you Shae!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Dear Diary,
Guess what day it is today? RIGHT! New years day!! It is officially 2012 so you better get your food storage going! (By the way, I personally don't believe 2012 is the end of the world, I just like joking around about it, though you should get your food storage going anyway.) Its about that time to start thinking about a "New Years Resolution", if you don't have any good idea's of what your Resolution should be, I found some "Top Ten New Years Resolutions" and if you don't find anything good in this list then hopefully you will get an idea.
1.Spend more time with Family & Friends
"Thumbs up"-says ME!
2.Fit in Fitness
Do jumping-jacks the moment you get up! (Just an Example)
3.Tame the Bulge
Lets face it... McDonalds is Junk, KFC is Garbage, and Subway ALL THE WAY!!
4.Quite Smoking
I still need to work on this one... JUST KIDDING!
5.Enjoy life more.
Don't be such a worry wart! And live life to the fullest!
6.Quit Drinking
But don't stop drinking water because thats unhealthy.
7.Get out of debt.
pay off that Chick magnet! (Car) Not saying that I am attracted to cars or anything....
8.Learn something new.
Three things:
-In Ancient Rome it was considered a sign of leadership to be born with a crooked nose.
-When you die your hair still grows for a couple months.
-The Sound of E.T. Walking was made by someone squishing her hands in Jelly.
Congrats you learned at least one new thing this year!
9.Help others.
Helping an old lady cross the street never gets old.
10.Get Organized
I failed that one, you can practically swim on my floor, if you are willing to try it.
I guess I should tell you what my Resolution is now, actually I have two. First is to work on my Talents, so that I can be better in the area's of Music, Art, Dancing, Gardening, and so forth, Because I really don't have all the time in the world!Second is to Excel in Seminary! which means "quit sleeping in" its a hard one but I am sure I can do it! hope you find a great goal!
Also if you are interested (which you should be) My cousin Shae has started her own blog! look her up! She definitely has a way with words and its enjoyable to read her entries.
her Blog is called - http://shaekcarter.blogspot.com/
Until next time,

Christmas
Dear Diary,
I am Sitting on the floor at my Grandparents house listening to my aunts and uncles discussing politics.
Right now everyone is HERE! except for Dana and John (Dana & John if you are reading this...WE MISS YOU!!) I really enjoy our family get togethers, its always a good experience! There is a lot of spanish speaking in the background, and laughing, and slapping hands for picking at the turkey.
I will tell you a little more of whats going on around me so you can get into the moment like me!
Kara is Laying on the ground dead from the ice cream, Next to her Malia is playing trains with Zeek, Arturo is laughing about something and mumbling stuff in Spanish that I don't understand, Cheyenne is On the ground practicing drawing with Dr. Suess books that Zeek got for christmas, Dad is telling wacky stories about Alberta. Sierra is playing with her itouch along with Dallas sitting on the other side of the room playing games on his iPhone and next to him Spencer is doing the same. now zeek is Playing horse on Kara. My mom is... being mom... Auntie Kelly is discussing things with all the other adults, my grandma is opening the window, Zeek is now jumping on uncle Delzell. Grandpa is giving the dogs love, that they have been lacking since everyone is here, And uncle shawn just left home because its getting late.... Delzell just let it rip... now everyone is exiting the room while he blames Cheyenne...
I love Christmas!!
We had a pretty chaotic christmas this year! We woke up 7 this morning to open presents, then we went up island to Shawnigan to have breakfast at Auntie Kelly's house, then we raced back home to attend 2nd ward Christmas Sunday meeting at the church, but on our way there the van broke down on the highway so we ended up having to jump in the back of my grandparents car to make it only a couple minutes late!! afterwords we had some friends over to spend some christmas day with them, and now here I am sitting on the floor picking out a chocolate that Nana is offering me!
Merry Christmas!!

Home Alone
Dear Diary,
Things have been pretty easy going over here. Nothing new, same old school work to be done everyday, the animals are doing fine, and the house is still coming together.
"So what do I write on?" I ask my self, and the best thing I could come up with today is my adventures of being home alone. I am left home by my self a lot lately, since Cheyenne, and Shae are in School, and Malia is at work, and sierra? well.. she is always doing something (library, car ride with mom, friends house) my dad is at work and my mom is always running errands. So what do I do, since no one is watching? well pull out the chocolate chips, and blast the Disney music of course! And if I am really in a weird mood then I play with "Photo Booth."
Like every kid when they find out they don't have a parent breathing down there neck, they do things they know they are not allowed to do.
My Mum's house rules:
-Do not eat chocolate chips
-Do not eat Frozen orange juice
-Do not turn heat on above 10 during the day
-do not watch movies during the day
I could go on and on but these are the main ones that I break when no one is watching.
This is probably as rebellious as I get! but I enjoy having alone time to snuggle with my dog and sing along to Disney's "Tangled" music, and occasionally jump up and dance to Disney's "beauty and the Beast" music too.
Now that you know my secret... Don't tell my mum!
Have a good day!
