A Day in Chicago

I know that that kind of sounds like the name of a book, but it's not!
I spent a day in Chicago, and it was fully awesome.
My mom and dad took me and my brother downtown to see Yo-Yo Ma, the famous cellist. The program was supposed to start at 11 o'clock, but ended up starting at one. So, we had a few hours to kill. My mom and I decided to take the 2 mile hike down to Navy Pier, and it was totally worth it! We saw a ton of ice sculptures, including penguins, birds in TREES (birds made of ice!!! AHHHH!!!) and obelisks, and we even saw a sculpture of Medusa. It was so cool!
And then we took the 2 mile hike back. :P But it was a good hike, considering that there's so much to see in Chicago!!!
Then, we went back to the Chicago Cultural Center, and saw YO-YO MA!!! It was so cool. He is really good, and gosh, that dude is hilarious! Yo-Yo Ma is really famous, and it was a total treat to be able to see him, for FREE! I loved it, and I got a front row seat! It was really worth skipping out on Science Fair to see him. (Just kidding, I would always want to skip out on it, even though it was EC.)
I <3 CHICAGO!
I saw like, a million T-shirts that said that there. It was funny.
I love it there, and I really wish to go back again soon.

Bears vs Packers

As some might know the Packers beat the Bears 21-14 in the NFC Championship game. I watched the and noticed two things, the referees were in favor of Green Bay and the when ever the Packers didnt make a catch they would always look to the referees put there hands up as if they were just pushed to the ground and wanted a penalty. The Packers got those penalties when they did not deserve them. From here on out I call the Packers Cry Baby Packers. They deserve this nickname and I hope it sticks with them for a long time.

Blue is for Nightmares

(See, readers, told you I would blog on this!)
Stacey's junior year at her school is not easy. She isn't the most popular girl at school, or the smartest, or the prettiest. She has a crush on her BFF's BF, and an even darker secret that threatens to ruin her friendships... for good. And now she's having nightmares again. And these aren't your everyday nightmares – these dreams are too real to ignore, like she did three years ago. The last time she ignored her nightmares, a little girl she loved died. This time though, they're about Drea, her best friend who's become the victim of one seriously psycho stalker. It started with weird e-mails and these weird phone calls. Now someone's leaving Drea white lilies – the same as the death lilies that have been showing up in Stacey's dreams. Everybody thinks this is just some prank . . . until some other girl at school is brutally murdered. There are no witnesses. No one has a perfect alibi. Any one could be guilty. With everyone as suspects, Stacey turns to the one secret weapon she can trust – the magic taught to her by her grandmother. Will the magic be strong enough to expose the true killer, or will the killer make her darkest nightmares come true?
