A Little Drama

The title pretty much says it all.

Yesterday at lunch Jane, Noelle, and I were sitting with Gwen, Piper, and Shannon (who now are the best of friends) and were chatting with each other about Spring Break and report cards.

Jane- So, what's everyone doing for Spring Break?
Noelle- I'm going to sleep over with Madi on Friday to go see that new Alice in Wonderland movie.
Gwen- Omigosh, I really want to see that! I'll probably be seeing that over Spring Break, too.
Piper- Shannon and I are thinking about going camping. (Piper was smiling when she said this but Shannon didn't look very thrilled)
Jane- That sounds like fun. Cali and I have been camping before, right, Cali? ... Cali, we haven't heard what you're doing???

Well, you see, Sunny told me to not brag about going to the AG B&B Atlanta around the other dolls too much. That's why I was TRYING to not join in with the conversation but when Jane goes all "why aren't you talking?" it's hard not to boast a little bit.

Me- Um, I'm going to the American Girl Boutique & Bistro, remember? With Sunny and Mari.
Noelle- No way! You are so lucky, Cali.
Me- Uh, thanks?
Gwen- Be sure to take LOTS of pictures. We want to hear all about your trip when you get back.
Shannon- Definitely. I bet it's amazing!
Piper- Of course it is, Shannon.

Jane was the one who wasn't saying anything this time. I glanced over at her and noticed that she was just staring at her macaroni cheese and moving it around with a spork, angrily. No one else seemed to notice so I just let it go. Right now I am deeply regretting that decision.

I thought (like any other argument we'd gotten into) Jane would get over it and we'd hug and laugh about the situation. Well, I guess I thought wrong because for the ENTIRE rest of the day Jane avoided and ignored me as much as she could. She was acting like it was my fault I got chosen to go to the AG B&B.

I told Noelle about how Jane was acting and she said that the "little green monster" can get the best of people. I knew what that meant. Jane was jealous. She was mad because she couldn't go to the AG B&B with Sunny, Mari, Felicity, and I. Now I felt terrible. That was exactly what Sunny suspected would happen if I talked about going on the trip too much.

So now I am in this big heap of trouble with Jane. Noelle said that Jane was thinking about going back into her AG box and mailing herself all the way to one of the AG stores but I'm smart enough to know Jane would never do that. I guess I am going to have to let things work themselves out. Today is a new day and just maybe Jane will be over the whole American Girl Boutique & Bistro thing. I am crossing my fingers that she will be!

Photos

Sunny has been messing around with her new phone A LOT lately. I guess you could say that this is a good thing because she figured out how to upload the photos from her cell phone on to the computer. All of the photos were taken at the pond in our backyard or a nearby park. Here are a few of the best photos:

Both of these photos were photoshopped with Picnik. Which one do you like better???

We were thinking about submitting one of these to Rose's contest but we aren't sure yet. To see more photos of Felicity enjoying spring click this linky. :)

Sunny's New Phone

Life has been boring here... for me, anyways. Today Sunny got a new cell phone (she used to have a Rumor) called the Palm Pre. It is AWESOME. I know that this has nothing to do with me or AG dolls but there's really nothing else for me to talk about other than school. Plus, her new phone is really cool and it takes really good photos! She wants to post a picture of me she got off her phone soon... if she can figure out how to do that...

So that's her new phone! I love the case. :)
On another note, I have been thinking quite a bit about what I should do for my picture for Rose's Spring Photo Contest. I'm not sure yet but I have a few ideas. Now I'm just waiting for the perfect spring afternoon!
Well, that's that for updates. Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!

March!

Today is the second day of March!
March is an awesome month. Some exciting things coming up in March include:

AGMA Results
St. Patrick's Day
Spring Break
AG Boutique & Bistro

It also is quite close to spring! Although it's been rainy off-and-on here in Florida I can definitely tell spring is just waiting to arrive! :)

Rain, Rain, Go Away

It has been so rainy here. There's nothing like a dull, boring day to bring your spirits down. To top it off, I have an essay and two projects due on Monday. This is going to be one long weekend...
Well, I guess rain isn't always bad because today Sunny and I went outside to scout out the deepest puddles. I love jumping in puddles but Sunny says it's "hazardous to my cloth body". After a previous puddle incident with Victoria (long story) I think I'll take her word for it. But even though I wasn't allowed to jump in the puddles it was still fun exploring the front yard.
Everything seemed to shimmer with rain and the sky was an unusual color of gray. Unfortunately, the darkness didn't exactly make for good pictures. I did take a few, though, as you can see.
So that's pretty much all that's been going on here in Florida. I can't wait for springtime when the sun is always shining and every weekend I can hang out at the beach... this weather is just too depressing!
On a more positive note, only 28 more days until Georgia!!! I can't wait. AG B&B, here I come!

Season Three of AGMA

Wow, I can't believe Season 3 of American Girl Modeling Academy (AGMA) has started already! I am so excited! Unfortunately, since I am already participating in All Doll Modeling Academy (ADMA) I wasn't able to enter but.... guess who did?

SHANNON ROSE SILVER!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations, Shannon! I hope you will go far in the competition. :)

Her entry is posted on our YouTube channel. The pictures took Sunny and Shannon a really long time to take and we only compiled the best of them. It's probably not the best audition ever but hopefully it's good enough to get Shannon to the next round.

Speaking of modeling, my next assignment for ADMA is due in two weeks! I cannot wait. I'll probably work on my audition over the weekend. The theme is "all about me" so I have to take pictures that reflect my personality, I guess. It sounds like a really fun topic!

Sorry for such a short post, everyone. I hope I can make a nice long post soon! :)

Happy Weekend!

I am so so SO happy that today is Saturday. I was so busy this week it wasn't even funny! I had soccer practice Wednesday night, guitar lessons on Thursday, and the Junior Olympics opening ceremonies were last night. I'm so sorry! :(
Well, finally I can say I was able to post! But today hasn't been rest and relaxation for Sunny and I... quite the opposite actually. I had a Junior Olympics meet-up for soccer this morning and Sunny was working on this Oklahoma! video that didn't turn out so well. When I got home she said she had watched a bunch of YouTube videos and found something that we might be able to work with: vdag's Ruthie in Dreamland. The video was absolutely amazing. Sunny thought it was so cool, she made her own version, except with Rebecca. Click here to see the video. I hope you like it, but remember: all storyline credit goes to vdag94, it was NOT our original idea!!!
Not much has been going on here in FMSG, though. I've been prepping for my trip to the AG B&B mostly. I already know what I'm going to wear!
Well, happy weekend, everyone. I got to go watch the Olympics now! :)
