Maybe, when I get the chance, I can put up a chapter or two of my story. Whenever that happens, let me know what you think. It'll probably be after I finish writing one part of it, then I'll have to do a big part and the rest of the book.
So far today I've gone outside and written some stuff, but that's about it. I'll let Sarah use the computer now, mostly because I have nothing else to write at the moment.
Now I know you're thinking 'Potato Chip Bars? Is this girl crazy?' but this is a recipe you have to see. One night a week or two ago, I was looking through a cookbook with recipes for squares and came across possibly the grossest recipe I have ever seen. It felt like my arteries were clogging just reading it. Now I will share it with everyone.
Potato chip bars
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 cup potato chips, well-crushed
1/2 cup walnuts
Now I won't write the directions, but as if this 'dessert', I guess you could call it, didn't have enough butter or pure fat in it, you're supposed to grease the pan you put it it. Yum. There is also a headline at the top that boasts, 'Potato chips make this a favorite for kids.' I don't have any children, but there's no way I'd let them eat this. It's just sick!
For any relatives of mine, here's my birthday wish list.
Socks (I did say I needed them. Ankle socks only.)
A new walkman
Good headphones (ear buds or the type Sarah has which is totally unhelpful)
Notebooks for writing stories in (they can even be from the Dollar Store, I won't be offended)
Money is always nice
Gift certificate for Chapters
Artemis Fowl books (any after The Opal Deception), Harry Potter (Prisoner of Azkaban, Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (it comes out on DVD after my birthday, though) (Make sure it has special features, I like those)
Paints (Acrylic) and decent paintbrushes
Chocolate (Lindor and Lindt are my favorite)
Lady Grey tea (another favorite)
Of course, birthday cards are nice. I like those too.
If anybody wants to visit the Unofficial HSJ Message Board, look to my blogroll. Not a lot of people are on it, though. I hope you enjoyed the recipe. Ha.
Did I mention those Potato Chip Bars go in to a 9 x 9-inch pan?
Only fifteen days until my fifteenth birthday.
You know, I should really link to the pictures of my paintings. I still have to finish one I started, and I just haven't gotten around to it. Meanwhile I just ran around the field next door, even though it's a bit chilly out. I ended up not even noticing that. I have lots to do, like clean the kitchen, work on my story, possibly do my laundry, and other stuff. Plus I have to think of lunch.
So I've started writing the story again, which is great. I'm working on a blank spot right now. Hopefully I can get some of it written on the laptop, too.
I should probably go get dressed and clean the kitchen. Maybe I'll write more later.
