I found a new favorite smell.
Or should I say rediscovered?
I've always maintained that the smell of a
summer rainstorm
on the hot, dry pavement
is the best smell out there,
but now I'm not so sure
because the smell of a
Christmas tree
comes pretty dang close.

So I just have a question for you to ponder: Why is it that you can put question marks in labels, but not exclamation points?

I mean really why? Is it because they don't want you to use up your six exclamation points to quickly?

I have a friend that was asked to the Christmas dance. She used all six exclamation points when she was texting me about it.

post script: if you don't know about the six exclamation points ask Ms. Woolsey.

So guess what?

Remember how my old studio does the nutcracker every year? And remember how I always wanted to be the ballerina doll in the party scene? Oh you don't remember that? Well now you know.

Anyways, this year my company is doing a ballet number in our Christmas show (which is mostly just a combo show, with the companies showing off for the combo moms and bragging about how good their cute little combo kids can become if they stay in combo class and keep paying a million dollars for one hour a week), and guess what dance it happens to be? That's right, the doll scene from the Nutcracker. And guess what else? Yep that's right! Dani gets to be the ballerina doll! I'm so excited!

I have a blog? What?

So you know what just drives me crazy? When I go to someone's blog and they haven't posted anything new. Which, you know, is very hypocritical because I don't actually post on my blog all that often. So I decided to post today. (like really post, not just put a quote or song or something on here...)

How am I you ask? Oh just the same as always. I'm completely exhausted (I fell asleep in physics yesterday), I have a enormous, overwhelming stack of homework to do, my room is a wreck but I'm to busy/tired/lazy to clean it, I wore an ugly sweater on monday, I haven't brushed my hair for 2 days, and we have no macaroni and cheese (Really? What am I even supposed to eat if we have no macaroni and cheese?).

I'm pretty peachy.

I passed a math test today! Are you proud of me? I'm pretty sure I passed anyways, I knew how to do at least 90% of the problems which is more than I was expecting.

Feel free to applaud. Or bring me cookies or something.

Oh just kidding, I don't expect you to bring me cookies! But you can, you know, if you really want to...

Ooh, ooh, guess what, guess what? We got our Christmas tree! And it smells so good!!! It's not blue this year though... For those of you who don't know, last year we had a blue Christmas tree, no lie! It was a real tree too, not a fake one - a blue spruce. I called it our Utah tree because the blue spruce is Utah's state tree or something like that... Oh gosh I love Christmas so much!

I doo-oo-oo! (That was Regina Spektor, for those of you who can't hear me singing...)

You know what, why don't you take some pictures before you go?

Merry Christmas (in 24 days)! Be happy!
