The World According To Madeleine

I did go home, then slept for about five hours, then yesterday we had a snow day, and I slept until twelve.

Later in the day I went to Anna’s house and we watched a movie and just generally hung out at her house. It was a lot of fun.

 When I went home I re-dyed my hair blue, I was tired of having not blue hair, and this time it turned out really well (thanks mom!). Will I ever be able to go back to not colored hair? Will I ever post some pictures? Who knows… who knows….

I must be a faster typer, because I wrote that pretty quickly, but then again, it wasn’t very long.

p.s. I’ll try to get some pictures on

On Christmas, it didn’t snow. Not even a little. Now, only a couple days from Easter, it’s snowing, some is even sticking. It’s supposed to snow the next couple days too. Michigan…. has the strangest weather in the world. Earlier this week I rode in a t-shirt and my head and back were sweating, the next time, it was freezing. Not cool, Michigan, not cool.

Speaking of easter, where did the easter bunny and hiding eggs come from? Think about it. Strange tradition, eh? Christmas too. Tree inside, lights outside. Then there’s Valentine’s Day, created by Hallmark. Stupid card companies.

It’s Christmas Eve, I’m listening to Christmas music, but, alas, I’m not in the holiday spirit. Sigh. I don’t think I will be if it doesn’t snow. I don’t think it helps that I’m bored either. So far today, I’ve cleaned my room, checked my email, and listened to music. Exiting. I miss my friends so much.

I hope you are feeling joyful and Christmas-y.

Winter break has started, and it makes me sad. I miss my friends already. Sigh… two whole weeks without seeing them everyday. I could keep myself busy skiing, or sledding, but it’s fifty degrees outside, I don’t think that’s going to happen. My Dad had said that we could certainly go skiing, at least a couple times, and all he had to do was put the boat in the water. Ha.

It’s forty degrees and raining. And not only is it raining now, but it will be for the next ten days. There are thirteen days until christmas, so the weather man better be wrong, or it needs to snow two feet in three days. What ever happened to the fanous Michigan winters? I should already have been skiing and sledding by now. At least a couple times. It hasn’t been looking very Christmassy, and my mood has been less and less Christmassy too.

It snowed today! And not just some wimpy flurries that disapear in an hour, it SNOWED! After the first round of MEAP testing for the day, Paige, Anna, and I went outside and caught snowflakes on our tongues. Sadly, we missed the Hokey-Pokey our other friends were doing. Before lunch we went outside too, Paige threw a snowball at me, and I threw one at her, and then we went to eat lunch. The trees haven’t even completely changed colors and I’ve already been hit by a snowball!
