Meaghan’s Blog

Maybe today I'll post a chapter from my story. I still have to type up the rest I've written on this computer or the laptop. Either way, I should get crackin'.

We have the new stove in, and it's very warm. Dad showed us how to us it when he's not here to do it.

So, story stuff. I just wrote a chapter yesterday where Katie goes to a ball, which was fun to do. I plan to have several more throughout the books. I really want to write more now, and Sarah wants this anyway.

I keep forgetting I thought up another holiday for my story. Instead of having individual Birthdays, families celebrate everyone being a year older at one time, and it's sort of Christmass-y, too, since it lands on the winter months every two years. I figure it should last a whole week. Now I don't have to think up when everyone's birthdays are or when Katie's would be, especially when it would be confusing when the other planet's year has fourteen months.

I'm trying to finish the painting I started, and it's getting there. I'm excited for the little paintings - it will be nice to paint people for a change, not just scenery. Although, it is just their faces.

I should get back to painting, or maybe writing - and I said I'd make coffee for my dad. Bye

Let's see. So my day started with me finding a gift from Dad. Socks, with money inside! Then Emma gave me one. Socks! Then later, I find another package waiting by the sink before lunch. From Sarah, a pair of socks.

Lunchtime arrives. You see, I was about to post in the blog but I had to go open presents. I got  mini Harry Potter posters to color and paintbrushes from Emma, Werther's Original, Reese's Pieces, an invisible ink pen and a book (an It Girl novel) from Sarah. Mom and Dad gave me a nice set of paints. But oh no, the surprises don't end there.

At Supper time, Dad gives me more presents. A really nice big hazelnut chocolate bar, some more of my favorite tea, pens, another notebook and I think I may be forgetting something ... then we go shopping for Halloween candy on sale, and I bought three little canvases for paintings I have in mind. I'm excited to do those but I want to finish the sunset one and another I started a few days ago before I start more. Thank you everybody!
