2007 in review

2007

January 2, 2007 - Kristen's birthday. She turned 23.

January 9, 2007 - I turned 19 (and so did Kayla of course lol). I've decided 19 is such an odd age. You're already legal, yet you're not 21. You're not even in your 20's yet! Also, Michelle came down for my birthday!

February 15, 2007 - Kristen and I went to the Rascal Flatts concert! I was so excited to go and I had a great time! Rascal Flatts is great live (most country singers are) and it was fun to bond with my sister...always is!

February 17, 2007 - Michelle, Laura, and I went to see Because I Said So in the theaters. It was cute...not great or anything though. I actually like Mandy Moore, though her acting isn't the best. It was a cute mother/daughter movie...plus, you gotta love Gabriel Macht who is super cute!

March 9, 2007 - Both Kristen and Kayla came down to visit me at school. Kayla was on her "spring break" at the time so they both came down and we watched a movie and hung out.

May 23, 2007 - My freshman year of college officially ended. I was glad in a way to see it end (because of the whole roommate situation that past fall) and it was good not being a freshman anymore!

May 27, 2007 - We went to the Orioles and A's game while our Aunt was visiting from Massachusetts. Go O's?

June - August 2007 - I was back at camp working with my favorite group, the Pathfinders! It was an interesting summer to say the least but you gotta love working with kids.

June 26, 2007 - Derek's Jeter's birthday and a trip to the Orioles and Yankees game! I had begged my dad to get tickets to that game since January and he did! I was really excited since it was Derek's birthday and I got to see my favorite team play!

July 4, 2007 - Megan and I went to see Transformers at the theater and the movie was great! I didn't really know much about it before I went but I do like Shia LeBeouf and Josh Duhamel so it couldn't be that bad. I was really glad I went though, the movie was great!

July 12, 2007 - We went to the Zoo for camp. It was chaotic but still fun. We didn't get to see the lions (my favorite animal) but I had fun and I know the kids enjoyed it too.

July 15, 2007 - It was Megan's birthday so we went to see License to Wed in the theater. It was funny and cute but not that great of a movie. I wouldn't buy it or anything but it wasn't horrible to watch either. Plus I like Mandy Moore and John Krasinski.

July 26-August 1, 2007 - The family and I headed down to Myrtle Beach for vacation. We played golf, saw an amazing show, went to Planet Hollywood for dinner one night and played golf some more. Also, my dad and I went to the beach one day so I could take some pictures. The vacation was filled with long car rides and scorching heat but we still had fun!

August 10, 2007 - The family and I went to the Orioles and Red Sox game and originally had seats in the MASN box but once we got there, we were given other seats right behind home plate if we wanted. Of course my family wanted to sit down there...the Red Sox were playing! Even though it was the Red Sox, it was still a fun game to watch nonetheless.

August 17, 2007 - High School Musical 2 premiered on the Disney Channel. I don't care how old you are, you must know about this movie. I won't lie, I even watched! All day long the kids in my [camp] group kept telling me HSM2 was on tonight. I watched (and liked it! haha).

August 27, 2007 - It was my Mom's birthday but that was also the day classes started for my sophomore year! I also saw Hairspray in the theaters that day with Michelle and Amanda (great movie!).

September 28, 2007 - My dad got tickets to the Yankees and Orioles game once again. We had pretty good seats too (16 rows behind the Orioles' dugout).

September 29, 2007 - I had gone home for the weekend so my sister invited me to go to a Army Concert Tour featuring Montgomery Gentry (gotta love country music!). I had a great time. Joe Nichols, who I also like, opened up for Montgomery Gentry so that was great to see too!

November 20, 2007 - I came home for Thanksgiving break. It's always good to get a break from school and not have to worry about the stress either.

December 6, 2007 - The first snowfall of the year!

December 7, 2007 - Eric Church (a country singer) came to play at my school.

December 13, 2007 - Even though finals started on the 12th, I was already done with my 5 (well only 3 written finals) on the 13 so I came home and the fall semester was officially over for me.

December 15, 2007 - My dad and I went and picked out the Christmas tree. It was a little short and stubby but it was cute and I picked it out!

December 16, 2007 - I made Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint cookies, which turned out delicious may I add! I don't normally bake too often but I decided that while I'm home for winter break I was going to bake and cook more and this was the first thing I decided to make!

December 18, 2007 - I was back in the kitchen making my first "real" meal for dinner which was Baked Pasta with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Cheese. It was very tasty!

December 25, 2007 - Christmas. I got tons of great gifts: Supernatural Season 2 on DVD, gift cards, a poster, body spray, books, Yankees PJ pants, a Yankees fleece, DVDs, a CD...I'm sure there's stuff I forgot!

December 26, 2007 - Megan and I went to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets in the theater! It is such a great movie...I loved it! If you liked the first National Treasure, you'll like this one too!

December 31, 2007 - New Year's Eve. The last day before 2008. And here I am writing in my blog. I just want to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

I saw it today and I LOVED it! It's just as interesting as the first and you gotta love the humor in it too. It's such a great movie!!!! I definitely recommend you see if you if you've seen the first one and liked it. And if you haven't seen the first one, rent it, then go see this one! haha =)

Summary from IMDb.com-

When a missing page from the diary of John Wilkes Booth surfaces, Bens great-great grandfather is suddenly implicated as a key conspirator in Abraham Lincolns death. Determined to prove his ancestors innocence, Ben follows an international chain of clues that takes him on a chase from Paris to London and ultimately back to America. This journey leads Ben and his crew not only to surprising revelations but to the trail of the worlds most treasured secrets.

It's Christmas Eve Eve

So I'm really bored so I thought I would write something in my wonderful blog [that no one reads]. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and well I'm not entirely looking forward to sitting in church for an hour (from 11-12) but hey, it's tradition right? I'm really excited for Christmas and well, I always am! I will never get rid of the little kid feeling...I will always be excited for Christmas!

Anyways, so Kayla thinks I'm addicted to Heroes and well...she's right! haha...I'm becoming obsessed with this show and that's not good! It's just so interesting and well gosh-darnit, I think everyone should watch it!

More randomness, I've been listening to Christmas music all day! I frosted cookies today and if I do say so myself, they are pretty tasty! I didn't exactly make the dough but I pressed down the cookie cutters which takes so much effort ya know? Hard work I tell ya.

Happy Holidays to anyone who reads this blog. =)

that was my favorite cookie that I decorated!...a candy cane with green frosting and green stripes =)

those are the yummy cookies I decorated and frosted! =)

The Dead Zone...being cancelled!?

Gahh, I'm so mad! I can't believe they are cancelling the Dead Zone! This is such a great show and Anthony Michael Hall does an amazing job in it and he's so fun to watch! First I had to deal with the loss of one of my favorite characters when they killed him off now I can't even watch the show anymore cause it's being cancelled!?...big mistake!!!

Survivor finale!

Congrats to Todd! I wanted him to win and I'm really glad he did!

It kind of sucks that Amanda won the last immunity challenge cause she really had no shot at winning in the end so it didn't matter who she took and voted off. She got 1 vote, while Courtney got 2, and Todd got 4. I thought Todd played a true-Survivor game and was very strategic. Yeah he may have back-stabbed some people but that's what you have to do to get far in the game.

This season was very interesting. I loved James and I'm glad he won the 100,000 dollars. I was kind of shocked to hear that Jaime and Erik are actually dating! He could do so much better! Erik is gorgeous too haha...he's so sweet and innocent and Jaime is sneaky and mean. Maybe she's a better person because of the show? Anyways, great season. Next season looks great too! Fans vs. Favorites...that should be very interesting!...I can't wait! =)

Heroes

I'm offically addicted to this show. I got out Disc 1 and 2 from Season 1 and I'm loving it so far! The characters are so interesting and the storylines tie you in! Great show so far! =)

A Very Supernatural Christmas - my review

Holy crap...I loved it! I thought this was such a great episode! It had everything: creepy "monsters", flashbacks, brotherly-love, humor, and the edge-of-your-seat excitement! The "evil" Santa was definitely creepy...I mean stealing people from their homes up the chimney!? I loved the flashback with the brothers cause it was great to see Dean care so much for Sam. That's great that Sam gave Dean the necklace; I'm glad we finally found out how he got it. Aw and then he went to so much trouble to get gifts for Sam...even though he stole them haha. Back to big Sam and Dean...I felt bad for Sam since he didn't wanna accept the fact that it might be his brother's last Christmas (awww!). And Dean, Mr. Gung-Ho Christmas. I loved the fact at the end that Sam actually bought a little Christmas tree and decorated it. And it was so cute that they exchanged gifts...awww! I couldn't help but laugh when Dean was about to get his tooth pulled and the doorbell rang and he was like mumbling "Are you gonna get that? You should get that" or something along those lines haha. Omg and I loved when Dean kept saying 'fudge'n...sooo funny!! GREAT eppy!

My favorite quotes from A Very Supernatural Christmas -

[Dean to shop owner]
Dean: We were playing Jenga over at the Walsh's the other night, and he hasn't shut up about this Christmas wreath. I don't know. [looks over to Sam] You tell him.
Sam: Sure. [Sam pauses, to look at shop owner] It was yummy.

Santa's Elf: Welcome to Santa's Court. Can I escort your child to Santa?
Dean: Um, no. But actually, uh, my brother here, it's been a life long dream of his.
[Sam gives confused look]
Santa's Elf: I'm sorry, no kids over 12.
Sam: He's just kidding. We only came here to watch.
[Dean smirks and shakes his head]
Santa's Elf: Ewww.

Dean: Wreaths, huh? Sure you didn't want to ask her about her shoes? I saw some nice handbags in the foyer.

Dean: Sam, why are you the boy that hates Christmas?

Dean: [holding up gifts] Look at this. Fuel for me and fuel for my baby!

Dean: You fudge'n touch me again, I'll fudge'n kill you!

Sam: [getting off the phone with Bobby] Well, we're not dealing with the anti-Claus.
Dean: What'd Bobby say?
Sam: Uh, that we're morons.
