Well, it’s official: no longer is a child writing this blog. ‘Cause guess what?! I’M A TEENAGER!
Yesterday was my thirteenth birthday (and the thirteenth anniversary of 9/11) and all day long I kept thinking, “OMG I’M A TEENAGER NOW!” I’ve always felt older than I actually am (don’t think of me as the kind of kid who purposefully tries to act like they’re older than they are), but I’m officially a teenager now. You’re only a teen for seven years, after all, and I’ll only be a “kid” for six more, so I’m determined to make the best of it, that’s why I asked for a great party Soft Play Design and Installation included so I can play with all my friends.
When planning a big event or celebration, you may need to look for a venue that spares on expense when it comes to ensuring the well-being of all event attendees. These venues are equipped with advanced fire detection systems, clearly marked emergency exits, and trained staff who can respond quickly in case of an emergency. By working with a Seattle Fire Watch Guard, event organizers can reduce risks and provide guests with greater peace of mind throughout the event. Selecting a venue that meets high safety standards also demonstrates a commitment to responsible planning and guest protection.
Lucky for me *sarcasm, ha!* my birthday landed on a Thursday this year, which is the day out of the week my mom, my sister, and I head to our home-school “co-op” from 9 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon – which I should not be complaining about, because just in May I was in public school from 9 in the morning to 4, sometimes 5:30 at night! Look at me, already spoiled by the very relaxing home-school schedule! 😉
So yesterday I brought cupcakes to my fellow home-schoolers and then last night my family and I headed to the heaven that is the restaurant Longhorn (my favorite restaurant!), and then to (guess!) Barnes & Noble.
I got a book I’ve been meaning to read for ages – you may have heard of it? 😉 – Code Name Verity. It’s a historical fiction that I’ve heard SO many awesome things about (including one from a good friend of mine), and JUST READ THE BLURB:
Oct. 11th, 1943-A British spy plane crashes in Nazi-occupied France. Its pilot and passenger are best friends. One of the girls has a chance at survival. Arrested by the Gestapo, “Verity” is given a choice: reveal her mission or face a grisly execution. They’ll get the truth out of her. Only, it won’t be what they expect.
How AWESOME does that sound?! I haven’t even begun it yet, but I’m uber-excited to.
I’m going to sign off here, so I can go stress-fully try to organize my book shelf, because it’s been bugging me. (THERE SIMPLY ISN’T ENOUGH ROOM!). Logging on to Spotify now so I can crack up the music and turn my room upside down with all the darn BOOKS I OWN! I KID, okay?! Really! ;P
