Holiday Television Programming 2011

I love Christmas! The decorating, the sweets, the time with family, the lights, and especially the movies! This year I have mapped out and looked for all of the bigger Movie titles that will be on TV this year. I thought I would share them with you. Just remember, I only put movies that are well known, and if they are repeated a lot I may not have put them on the list.

Halloween and More (10.30.11-11.2.11)

10.30.11

Unfortunately I am too old to go trick or treating, so my only option is Halloween parties. This year I only went to one, and as you might be able to tell, I dressed as a Christmas elf. My two favorite holidays are Christmas and Halloween, so I decided I would just combine them this year since I can't wait for Christmas to come. My hat and shoes were homemade; I bought a red tutu and a green t-shirt which I paired with red and green argyle socks, bell bracelets, a black belt, and a light up Christmas light necklace. 

My friend Sloan and I arrived together dressed as matching Santa and the Elf.

Sloan and I with our friend Kennedy who dressed as a Hershey Kiss. She made her costume completely from tin foil and tape. It was amazing and ridiculously creative!

10.31.11

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I babysat the Sprink boys all day and they tortured poor Tiger by putting a hat on him. 

I got to hand out candy to all of the trick or treaters. My favorite costume that I saw was a whole family of Angry Bird characters. It was a riot.

11.1.11

I got into ECU!!! I'm so excited. Rolling admissions are my favorite thing ever. I'M GOING TO COLLEGE!!!

11.2.11

Today, I got my first spray tan ever. It was one of the scariest things I've ever done. You're alone in a room and you step into a glass booth, press a button, and wait. It has four different sprays which you have to stand in four different stances. You get flustered because the spray is so scary and sudden. I wasn't sure if you were allowed to breathe or not so I was holding my breath almost the whole time.

After my tanning session a I ran over to Target to get this filing box to organize my college stuff. I'm applying to seven colleges so I needed a good amount of folders. I am very proud of myself for getting this organized.

Good Bye Hair (10.29.11)

I don't like people touching my hair, so as a result of that I avoid the hair dresser at all costs. However, my hair was getting way to long and the ends were all dead and it was annoying, so the only way I could convince myself to cut my hair was to donate it. In order to donate it, I had to cute ten inches off. I went into my hair place and cut it off. I was scared to do it and was hoping I wouldn't look like a boy, and as much as I hate the way my hair looks now, it was a great experience. I hope Locks of Love can find a little girl who can benefit from my hair.

The length before.

After.

My Final Football Game ): (10.28.11)

Tonight was my final high school football game ever as a high school student. We did make it to playoffs, but I missed the first playoff game, which we lost. 

This game was the most important game of the year for me because it was against my little brother's school Green Hope. They suck. But they did win two games this year which is more than they have won in the past four years combined. Even though they are terrible, I was still scared. 

Prior to the game I had some people over for fajitas and corn hole. It was a lot of fun and was a good replacement for tailgating.

We got to the game and it was soaking wet and raining and freezing. We were miserable, but the theme was business attire to make fun of Green Hope so we were decently warm. We killed them and got into playoffs, but we weren't brave enough to stay the whole game since the weather was so bad!

(10.22.11-10.27.11)

10.22.11

Today, I got to tour one of my favorite schools, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. It is by far the prettiest and best geographically located campus I've been to. I'm a beach bum and could spend every day on the beach, so UNCW being only five miles from Wrightsville Beach really makes this college a top pick. The biggest downfall to UNCW is their lack of a football team, but from what I've heard, there will likely be a football team starting up my senior year. 

At the visit we had a few information sessions then a "fair" type setup with all of the schools organizations and different colleges. Going into this visit I was almost positive that I wanted to study communications, but when I left I was an undecided student leaning toward health and human sciences. Weird right? Those are two completely opposite fields of study, and it doesn't help that I am the most indecisive person in the world. 

After we toured, we grabbed some seafood and headed back home. It was a fun day and I really enjoyed seeing the campus as well as the ocean, which always makes me happy!

10.23.11

Today was pretty boring. I had frozen yogurt with Kayla and baked a ton of stuff. I baked mini Halloween cupcakes, big chocolate cupcakes with hot fudge filing, pumpkin bread, Halloween sugar cookies, and chocolate chip cookies. The sad thing is that I didn't eat barely any of this stuff. The mini cupcakes and sugar cookies were meant for the kids I babysit and the chocolate chip cookies were for my two teachers who wrote recombinations for me. I gave away the big cupcakes, so all I was left with was the pumpkin bread, which I was perfectly fine with.

10.24.11

I got an English quiz back today. Before my teacher handed them back to us, she told us that most of the teachers thought it was way to hard to be a quiz and it should have been a test and a lot more stuff about it being too hard. So naturally  I was worried that I had bombed it, but when I got it back I was pleasantly surprised to see a 100 on it!

10.25.11

I had work today, and it was the slowest day I've ever experienced. Sloan came to visit me and we talked, uninterrupted  for about two hours. Not a single customer came in in those two hours. This does not seem good for trying to make money!

10.26.11

Today I went shopping for Halloween costume stuff with Hannah. On the way there, I was behind this Porsche and I had to take a picture for Kayla since she has a Porsche radar in her head. I had a lot of trouble finding stuff for my costume so I ended up just buying simple components and then making the rest. I made my had and shoes from scratch, and I also just put the costume together using small parts. 

10.27.11

I decided to go to one of my brother's football games since it was being held at my school. If you didn't know, my brother and I go to two different high schools that are 4 miles from each other and are huge rivals. This was the week that we played each other in football, so I decided to be a good sister and support my brother as he stood on the sidelines. (He is the one with the pink socks, number 63) Panther Creek lost and my brother's Falcons won. It was JV so it didn't really matter, but after the game I decorated my brother's best friend's car!

Senior Night (10.21.11)

It's bittersweet knowing that you have attended your final home high school football game ever, and I'm going to admit, there were some tears. The most emotional part of the night was when all of the sports med, football players, band members, and cheerleader seniors were being announced and recognized. Two of my closest friends were recognized.

Kayla and the rest of the sports med seniors in their sweats!

The theme was blue out, and although the crowd was disappointing, everyone that showed up did wear blue!

We came out with the victory and it was an amazing night for our seniors! I'm going to miss football games more than anything when I go to college. Nothing compares to the thrill of Friday Night Lights!

State Fair (10.20.11)

The number one thing I want to tell you about the NC State Fair is the you should NEVER go on canned food day! It is by far the most crowded day of the fair and it can get annoying. However, I still had a lot of fun with my mom while there. I saw this giant pumpkin, along with a bunch of other giant fruits and veggies. 

I am absolutely in love with cows. My favorites were the calves and the "Oreo" cows above. They are so cute, and they just look at you with their big eyes are rough tongues. I don't know how people can not like them. They make hamburgers and ice cream! They should be praised!

There were some random animals as well. The chickens were beautiful; I absolutely loved the red and orange rooster in the second and third pictures. The goats were hilarious to watch because they aren't very nice to each other. The little chicks were just cute, so I had to include a picture.

NOW PREPARE YOURSELF FOR ULTIMATE ADORABLENESS!

Now she's not to cute, but wait until you see what she produced!

Three little piglets! Oh my goodness they were so cute. My mom and I stood there for about five minutes just watching them play around. They were so funny and the mom would get annoyed with them whenever they bugged her; it was like my family!
