Happy New Year's Eve!

Twenty-four hours from now, it will be 2009! I can hardly believe how fast the year came and left! I remember when it was just the beginning of 2008 and I kept thinking it was 2007! Ha! That happens every year, though.

Anyone have any interesting memories to share and reflect upon?

enjoy the picture above above above of a flower i took! I have always thought it looks like clay!

Photos Part 1 : Banana Nut Bread

I know I promised pictures, or at least I think I promised pictures. I might just be going crazy. Anyways, here they are.... with commentary. from moi. I'm going to post them in several different parts because all together, the post would be never ending. Here we go...

This is my adventure with banana nut bread

Bananas before the mashing....

Chocolate chips and walnut pieces!

Here are bananas in mid-mash.....

Eggs and flower before being mixed....

That would be all for today. Thanks for joining! Have a fabulous day!

Merry Christmas!

It is Christmas everybody!!!!! I hope you are having a very very very very very MERRY MERRY MERRY Christmas! I know I am!!

I'll get pictures of our day soon!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Yay! It's Christmas Eve! You know what that means?!

It mean....... TOMORROW IS CHRISTMAS!!

Yay! Hoorah!! Woopie!! Christmas!!!

The time for giving and receiving and rejoicing!

Best holidays wishes to all!

Help?

My cough is getting very... not dry. If you catch my drift....

If not, lucky you.

Christmas is only in a couple of days, soon followed by New Year's! I don't want to be sick!

I have been sucking on throat lozenges, getting sleep, drinking soup, and enjoying tea. Anybody know any secret and amazing remedies to help me feel better? I would greatly appreciate it!!

Yesterday I was hardly coughing, but now I have to cough every time I speak!

In other news, my crocheting is going along nicely. I am half way done with a rainbow skinny boa.

Here is are a couple of pretty pictures I took of some flowers. Up close and personal...

Today's poll:

Do you prefer chocolate chip cookies or chocolate brownies WITH nuts?

Home Sweet Home

On December 21, 2007, my family moved into our very first house. I was not able to post yesterday, so I am making up for it today. We have lived in our home for 363 days(counting today)!!! Yay!

Time really flies by, right?

This time last year, literally right down to the exact date, I was feeling sick. Once again, the common cold has come to visit me. I'm not completely sick, though. My throat hurts, and a cough escapes every once in a while. Don't worry, though! I am working on staying healthy! I absolutely must! Christmas is so soon, and I am going ice skating with friends next week!!! Who wants to be sick during winter break?

Best holidays wishes to all!

Merry Christmas!
Happy Hanukkah!
Crazy Kwanzaa!
And a wonderful New Year!




P.S. Eliella is my new vampy name! Special thanks to <.:OeCd:.>

Crochet

Today we went over to my aunt's house. She had her birthday recently, and well, of course, Christmas is coming up soon! Yay! Hoorah! Yip Yip Yippie!!!!

She taught me how to crochet!!

How cool is that?

So on the way home, I had already finished crocheting a bracelet. My aunt had given me two hats and a boa to match for the holidays. I love being able to make my own accessories and to accessorize with what I have made! I will soon get pictures up of my latest creations.

Any exciting weekend stories out there to share?

Happy Holidays from a happy Saturday!

Complaints?

I guess I shouldn't complain. As said by Delaney in the previous post, some places are SNOWING! Wowzies! Can't even imagine how cold it would be then! Probably to the point that you couldn't feel anything at all, so the cold wouldn't even matter!

I have family in the Philippines.

My cousin was in a supermarket, store, whatever, when a bomb went off across the street. They are not holding the annual Christmas masses that are very special and should have started on the 16th. Who are we to complain that it is a little cold? Some have already died...

Winter

It certainly feels like winter! Even though it is not official, yet! But, as you may or may not know, I HATE the cold weather. Really. I do. I've been to Alaska during the summer and I just about went mad. But I love my family there, so they made it fun for me. :)

The weather where I am is freezing! Maybe not to some of you, but to me. It is raining, icy cold, and the wind is stinging my cheeks! It is so cold it feels like you are slowly burning to death! It is horrible! I am probably exaggerating here, but I simply cannot stand this. I have on six layers right now and three pairs of socks and a scarf and a hat and my hood on. I sleep with two pairs of pants on!

Anyone else as cold as I am?

I guess that it really is starting to feel like Christmas.

Holiday Spirit

I'm beginning to feel holiday-ish. Our whole house is nciely decorated. What about anybody else?

If you are reading this, Julie, than it is all your fault.

lol.

inside joke. :P

Such A Stick Of Scrumptious Selery

I am aware that I spelled celery wrong in the title. I thought it would be a bit off to spell it with a 'c' and then have the rest of them with s's!

Anyways, something odd happened to me this evening.

I made myself some hot chocolate. The weather is really getting me down. I HATE the cold, and it has officially arrived. Back to my hot chocolate. I used creamy milk with milk chocolate mix, mini marshmallows, one HUGE marshmallow, chocolate shavings, chocolate syrup, and oreo crumbles. Pretty much diabetes in a mug*. I sat down at the dining table and dipped my mega spoon into the hot chocolate. I tasted the chocolate, and I was extremely surprised when it tasted strangely like celery! Honestly! It tasted strongly like celery! I don't know! Am I getting sick or something? Anyone else heard of something like that, so I'm not too concerned?

It was completely unexpected! Like that time my leg vibrated! But that is a different story....

Oh yeah, we got a live Christmas today. It has an utterly wonderful and fresh fragrance!


*please don't be offended by this diabetes remark. I'm just trying to pull the point across that it was a huge mug of unhealthy palooza.

Answer:

The Answer to yesterday's riddle was


*drum roll*


HUMP DAY

Can You Believe It?

Can you guess what tomorrow is?

Huh?

NO HINTS!!

Wicked

I am so excited! I am going to see Wicked on Sunday!!!! Wooohooootie!!!!!

Two of my best friends and I(mind you, I have about a million and a half best friends. Well, not really, but you get the point, right? I sure hope so....) are going to see the most amazing thing performed on stage!!! Twilight was in a theater, so they are completely different.

Tickets! Yay! Go tickets! They are our lovely road to those fabulous seats in that marvelous theater that will present to us a fantastic musical! KNOWN AS WICKED!!!

Has anyone out there ever seen or heard(surely you have?) of it? Anyone have any experiences they would like to share with our happy circle here at My World Through Brown Eyes?

Love,

Ellie :)

Also, aren't you so grateful for Friday? I don't think I could have handled another weekday!

Happy weekend to you all!

One more thing, anyone know any cool emoticans for Blogger? Like how to make a real smiley besides :) or a heart besides <3>

Well, I have some for you! Isn't this somewhat cute to you? Although slightly creeps and 100% random?


<3 Ellie

Apology Accepted Please?

I am sorry that most of my blog posts have been rather short. But I am trying to learn time management, and things are still a bit shaky. You must know about that kind of thing, right? I'm still here, though! Don't think I left you! I still read your blog posts, but I might not always leave a comment. For the record, I am still alive here in me-ville!!!

Happy Day-Before-Hump-Day!!!!

Here is that cute and ever-so mesmerizing bunny picture that I have posted about one million and seventy two thousand five hundred and eighty-nine times!!! But can you ever get enough of something so precious?

What makes you happy?
what makes you giggle?
laugh 'till you can't breathe?

One thing I am grateful for(besides Twilight)?
