WOW!!!!
Everybody learns something new everyday. What I learned today is that the longest word in the English language is 3,609,750 letters long (not including DNA molecule titles or chemical names). Wow! Now wouldn't that be fun to say! It means the current day or date between real and imaginable today, whatever that means ;)

All in 24 hours' time...
It's amazing what a person can do in twenty-four hours. The twenty-four hours I will be talking about is Sunday afternoon to Monday afternoon. On Sunday my little sister was playing a video game and I was watching. She was sitting the the banana chair on the floor to my right and I was sitting on the couch. I was suddenly hungry and wanted to go into the kitchen to get something. I walked behind Chrissie's banana chair and screamed out in pain. The back flap of the banana chair was pulled back and a nail was sticking out. I had a sharp pain in my leg and ran to the bathroom to see what happened. I have a cut about four inches long on my leg (it's not a continuous cut, but small individual cuts in a line) and it was bleeding profusely. I hurriedly bandaged it up. Within the first half hour, I had to bandage it up two times. It hurt so much! (by the way, this picture is the worst out of all of them)
Monday afternoon I stole Reana's phone from her because she got a picture of me that I didn't like and I wanted to delete it. I was wearing my new shoes and they were still slippery and not worn down yet. I ran across the kitchen floor and tried to turn into the laundry doorway but slipped a little and my knee hit the door frame. I went flying and landed sprawled out on the hard laundry room floor. Reana ended up getting her phone, and I hadn't deleted the picture yet. My knee hurt really bad and I somehow convinced Reana to give me "pay" for her hurting me. She gave me her phone and I deleted the picture :) I looked at my bruise and it is the funniest looking one I have ever had. It's that green thing with a purplish redish dot in it.
Monday mid-afternoon I was making cookies. I got distracted and burned my arm on the cookie sheet. At first it just stung, but then it hurt very much.

Christmas break this year is fantastic so far. And it will most likely be fantastic for the rest of the break. Even though I caught a cold a couple days before Christmas and it's just now going away, I am still very happy.
My family (Amanda, Sami, Mark, and Audree) came to Idaho and spent about a week of Christmas break with us. My brothers, Craig and Keith, spent Christmas day with us and parts of Christmas Eve. For Christmas Eve we, like everybody else, have traditions to keep. We always go to my Grandma Bassett's house and eat a huge dinner, then go downstairs for our lovely nativity play put on by the children. We make our way back upstairs into the front living room and have our "talent show". This year we had a variety of stories, singing, and I think my aunt played the violin. We went home and we all got to open our presents from Grandma Bassett. We all got comfortable pajamas, and were extremely excited to put them on! After a while we all went to bed, tired from the long day.
Christmas morning we had to wake up at six because my brother, Craig, had to work and nine that morning (and having eleven people to open presents (12 if you count millie who had two presents) it takes a while...). Sami and Mark were very tired from the night before (Audree had a hard time sleeping here) and I felt so bad for them to have to wake up that early. We all headed downstairs and sat where our stockings were on the couches. We opened up our presents and thanked our parents and family members and we were done about eight or so. My dad made breakfast and we were happy to eat :) We played with our new presents until noon when we left for my Grandma Spencer's house. We stayed there until night playing with our cousins and family members.
Amanda, Sami, Mark, and Audree left yesterday to go back home to Utah. The whole week they were here, I played with Audree and my mom said she was basically connected to my hip :) It was a lot of fun which made it sad to see them all go :(

My Skipping Report
I decided to report on my whole skipping scheme. None of my friends thought I would really do it so they were shocked when they didn't find me in history. I have to say that yesterday was the best day I could ever skip. I went into the classroom and all the desks were completely full. Brother Fuller cleared his desk in the back and had me sit there. About ten minutes through, a girl had to leave for the period and Brother Fuller told me to take her spot. Brother Fuller's computer wasn't working so we didn't get to do the lesson (he always bases his lessons off the computer. After last year of seminary I despise PowerPoints). I talked to the people around me the whole time and it was so much fun! It was kinda sad when we had to leave. I still haven't been called about being truant, but hopefully Mrs. Hutchinson still thinks I'm Kaitlyn (my history teacher still doesn't know my name...wow).
Tomorrow is another day of seminary for that class, but I can't skip history anymore. At least not this semester. But I really want to go because they are eating and talking the whole period (Fuller's been very kind lately).
Tomorrow is a full day when it should be a half day. I think it is so stupid that they waste my time like this. We also have an assembly tomorrow that I'm not looking forward to. Pep assemblies at new schools always suck. But anyway, I am going out to lunch tomorrow with my friend Emilea and her sister Whitney. Yay! We wanted to skip since we aren't doing anything tomorrow, but we decided it would be best if we just went to school. We were hoping for a snow day but that most likely will not happen. How sad.

My Sister Is Freakin Amazing!
Look at the background of my blog. Isn't it just so cute?! Well I have something to tell you; you won't find it anywhere on the internet. Sami made it. She. Made. It. WOW! I think it looks stinkin amazing! She is so talented!
Yesterday Sami asked me what my favorite Christmas symbol and colors are. I said candy canes (I said snowmen and mittens as well but candy canes are my favorite :) ) and red and silver. So I have a customized wallpaper that nobody else could possibly have. Sami also made one for Chrissie and one for Carter but I think mine's the best since it is exactly what I wanted :)
