Me and my family have been SO INCREDIBLY BUSY lately! We've been Christmas shopping, wrapping presents, and trying out new recipes. (Kudos to Brittany and her Cinnamon Swirl Breakfast Cake at Real Sustenance!)
I finally read The Hobbit with my family! Utterly terrific book, but it doesn't quite top Harry Potter. We're starting to read The Fellowship of the Ring.
Not to mention I was knocked out for a week by a terrible cold. I couldn't make it to two Christmas parties because of that darn cold. It spoiled my week!
I asked my parents if I could watch the Hobbit movie, They said no, because it was way too violent for me. Plus, I watched the trailer and read a couple reviews of it. There are a couple things that aren't quite right. There are GOBLINS in the Misty Mountains, not orcs! And the elf woman, Galadriel or Arwen or whatever her name was, well, she wasn't in the book! Elrond was the only elf mentioned in the book!
Taryn, my Maplelea Girl Doll, is pretty much falling apart. I'm going to get her fixed at the Maplelea Spa. Poor Taryn. I shall never see her again. I will see the replacement doll that they send, though.
Yeah, Taryn's pretty much given up by now.
Love, Ho-Ho-Ho-Homeschool Girl
