I write this on December 31, 2010. Finished at 11:43 PM.
Christmas this year was poor. I mean, not that it sucked, just that we all got at least one gift. Mom received a sweater (which was unfortunately not the correct size so she gave it to Sarah) and a book. Dad received two boxes of M&Ms, two boxes of another candy, and a wire for the speakers. Sarah got $100 and a Christmas bear. I also got $100 and the Christmas bear. Although we got the Christmas bears a few weeks before because I was so worried about not getting one. It is practically a tradition now that every year (although it has not been every year) we get a Christmas bear. This year, our bears were blue just because mom’s favorite color this holiday was blue. I did not like it because our other bears are red and green. Mom and dad broke the tradition on the color of the bears. I would not care if Sarah’s bear was blue and mine was red and green. Well, I am not going to complain because at least I got a bear.
Guess what I did with my $100! I bought a Kindle from Amazon. I bought the $189 one because I get a FREE Wi-Fi connection from Amazon. The technology in that one to receive a signal is the same as that which is used in a cell phone. I had a $50 bill from the October wedding dad and I did. I said that I would not use it because it was the first time I had ever possessed a $50 bill. Mom and dad owed me thirty dollars because I had let them use my money that I received for turning in my books and keys. So that gave me $180. Dad gave me a ten because I had asked them if they could cover the last nine dollars for my Kindle. So, I ordered it on Friday (Sarah and I had received the money early Friday) after I had put all of the money I had received in the bank before noon because that was when they closed. I received it on Tuesday because it was two-day shipping. So far, I have forty books on my Kindle! I am so happy! I am obviously looking to put a lot more on it!
Quite unbelievably, there were tornadoes in the U.S. today! I could not believe it! December 31st, and there are tornadoes in the United States! Heck, even Jasper County was under a Tornado Watch earlier this afternoon! There were no other watches in the Michiana area.
New Year’s Eve/Day was, I do not know, suck-y. Sarah went out; Mom was watching a channel for the New Year’s Eve/Day celebration. I think it is channel 57. I prefer to watch 16 because they show other countries celebrating as the hour approaches; Dad has most likely fallen asleep on the couch already; and I am sitting here, in my room, listening to music on my MP3, and writing this.
Well, I must go so that I can finish and start the year being bored with nothing to do.
