Tearstains.

I feel terrible. As in sick terrible, scared terrible, tortured terrible. And a million times better at the same time. Today was immaculately horrible. (I think that's an oxymoron...)

*~*~*~*

It was 6.30am. I was fifteen minutes late for my own teams basketball training. I felt guilty, but it wasn't my fault. I picked up Meg on the way to school to introduce her to the team. I hurried to the hall and saw that Ashlynn had organised the warm-ups. I hurried up to the front.

"Hey, thanks Ashlynn." I smiled warmly at her. "Would you like me to start the training? You've been coaching everyone really well, thanks."

"No, I'm fine thanks." she shrugged me away coldly, not looking at me.

"Ashlynn... Ashlynn..." I tried to talk to her, but she kept ignoring me.

"And 15 laps around the gym!" Ashlynn yelled. Lanie and Sienna bit her lips, and went to stand beside me.

"What is going on?" Meg whispered. "I thought you were the coach."

"So did I," I whispered back.

"Aren't you supposed to be doing 15 laps around the gym, Sienna. Lanie. And Julie." Ashlynn snapped.

"Ashlynn! You do realise who you're talking to! I'm the coach here, not you! You were the stand-in!"  I said exasperatingly.

"Well, I say I'm the coach," sneered Ashlynn.

"What is wrong with you, Ashlynn?" Lanie cried loudly. That was the first time she's done that. 

Ashlynn gave Lanie the most filthiest look right then. It was so mean, tears started rolling down Lanie's cheeks. Sienna and Meg comforted Lanie while I stepped forwards to confront Ashlynn myself.

"If you're so certain, we'll cast a vote," I smirked.

"Deal," she agreed.

"Everyone, listening up! Down to the middle," I yelled out. Everyone crowded around us. "We're going to cast a vote on your coach. Raise your hand to your favourite preference, out of Ashlynn or I."

There was a cold silence.

"Ashlynn?" Sienna asked. Rachel and Freya and Lola raised their hands. 

"Julie?" Sienna asked again. Everyone else. 

It was clear, I won. I smiled a sigh of relief. 

"Okay then." Ashlynn was almost in tears of disappointment. "I'm quitting this lousy team."

Lola, Freya and Rachel put a looks of question on their faces, than nodded. 

"Julie, we're done," Freya choked.

I nodded, angry inside. "Fair enough." When it wasn't at all. 

"Julie, we have five people left!" Mollie cried out.

I grinned. "Meet... Meg!" 

We all gave Meg a round of applause to welcome our newest member.

She has this grin that makes you smile as well, and was using it then.
Everyone was happy except for poor Lanie. She was sitting on a bench, sobbing. I slowly walked towards her.
"Lanie, what's the problem?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing..." she murmured.
I took a seat next to her. "You sure?"

She took a breath and spilled. "I used to be really close to Ashlynn. She was my best friend. Actually my only. I never liked Trisha and her group. I only hanged out with them because when I first came to the school, she was my best friend and Trisha's. When you were in hospital, she dumped me and after this I've lost her for good. But I'm kind of glad in a way as well. I have you, Meg and Sienna... you guys make me smile so much.
"Don't worry, we'll take good care of you."

To be continued...

*~*~*~*

Lily here! I'd just like to say a few words.

First up, I'd like to say sorry for abandoning the blog with Jules... 

Second, I just watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I don't care what others say, but it's my least favourite book, but favourite movie. It makes me cry, it's so touching this one, especially when Sirius passes away, but Luna makes me laugh. 

Luna Lovegood....

Don't you love how Luna skips when she walks, with her hair flying everywhere?

Hermione and Ron... don't you find Hermione was mainly calling Ron Ronald for the duration of the movie? I did.  It's so obvious they're in loooooove... <3

In this movie, Ginny has a major crush on Harry... can't you see the way she looks at him, especially when Harry went up to meet Cho before the mistletoe incident... XD

How could we forget Harry? I think he had a bit of a temper in HP5. More in the movie, slightly less in the book.

The lot of them at the department of mysteries... sorry I didn't do a bit on Neville, but yes I  <3 him as much as the rest.

All photos courtesy from Harry Potter Wiki. They were not mine. 

Thanks guys for listening to Julie and I's rants. Sorry if you're asleep. Hope you enjoy the new renovations of the blog!

Peace Out,

Julie & Lily

Guilt.

Hi. Believe it or not, I, Julie Marie Albright has touched down to the blogging world. I feel so guilty for abandoning my ever faithful followers. I'd like to thank you for your emails and comments, those are which pulled me back to this world of blogging. You see, shortly after my most unrecent post,  I was diagnosed with some disease and spent a month in hospital. I was extremely ill. When I got home from hospital, I started feeling better, but had a block to get back to blogging. It took me a while to get back here, but here I am. I should've let you guys know what was happening, but it just wasn't a top priority back than. Will you forgive me? Well, forget the past, I'm back here for good and STAYING. Some happy random thoughts:

1. Ashlynn took over basketball for me. We have been going great, haven't lost again and the premiership is next weekend, and that will be my first games since hospital!

2. Kit quit modelling. Wasn't for her. Sigh. of. relief.

3. Josefina got straight A's in her report card for first term. Go Josie!

4. A new girls is sitting next to me. Her name is Meg, and is a national basketball player! (that's awesome) She's a great friend and will definitely be joining the Magics.

5. New stuff is defintely your way! Posting shortly will be a competition... yay!

6. Reviews on things

7. More photography

8. Will post on my obsession of the Hunger Games. Lily's got it worse.

9. Is it true? Rumours of a new doll, coming soon (months soon)

10. I won't be in hospital again and I am completely well -- just monthly checkups.

Well, time to go!

Peace Out,


Julie

Secrets, a Portfolio and Letters.

Jules is here! Okay, before I go on with about title -- I'd like to tell you who got onto the team -- Ashlynn, Lanie, Sienna, Freya, Rachel, Millie and Mollie (twins) and Lola. And me, of course.

Anyway.

As I was walking home by myself yesterday (Kit was already at home and Josefina had two extra-sessions of gymnastics) I checked the mail--nothing out of the ordinary. There was a letter for Kit though, addressed to Margaret Kittredge. I thought that was odd because she never gets letters apart from Ruthie, her friend in the USA and Ruthie never addresses them to Margaret. I stomped up the stairs, to the front door, threw my bag on the ground and yelled: "Margaret, you have a letter!"

Kit then slowly emerged from the hallway and asked: "And why are you calling me Mar-- you know what I mean." (she hates loathes her first name)

"Because it is addressed to a Margaret."

Kit smirked at me. "Well, come on, pass it over."

"Tell me what it's about first."

"How would I know, if I haven't looked at it yet?"

"Because it looks like you know."

"JULIE!!!"

"Okay, okay..." I quickly passed it over. She was in a rare, scary, short tempered mood.

She skimmed through it, and immediately relaxed, and gave a little twitch of a smile.

"So?" I asked.

"So what?" 

"What is it about?"

"Nothing."

"Kit!" I groaned. She has to tell me. I was getting fed up.

"Julie, I said nothing!" she snapped. That told me the convo was done. She merrily skipped down the hall into her room.

Josefina suddenly burst through the door, and saw my expression. "Was up?" she asked.

"Kit got a letter and she won't tell me what it's about." I said, crossing my arms.

Josie shrugged. "She'll come through tomorrow morning. She always does."

"You think?"

Josie nodded. "Now come on, I'm starving."

"Obviously."

Anyway, skip past that, it's today, Saturday, during breakfast.

"Guys, I have to go to the city today, and Gracie is going to come with me.." Kit supplied us.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because..." she said quietly.

"Kit." Josie popped in, her mouth full of toast. "You aren't allowed to go anywhere without telling us. Lily's not here, she's at netball."

Kit bit her lip and played with her hair, took a deep breath and it all came out. "Igoamodjoanineeporfdone."

"What?" I asked, bewildered. "Sl-ow-do-o-wn." Josie added.

"I got a modelling job with B.T.A. and I have my portfolio done." she confessed.

I couldn't say anything. Josefina was astonished and I was... disgusted. She saw our expressions and said, "can't stop, gotta go, talk to you soon, will text you." and ran out the door.

I looked at Josie. "Is the beginning of a modelling nightmare?"

Josefina bit her lip. 

Peace Out,

Julie

P.S. When Kit got home, she didn't say much. Just said there was one really good girl called Kat who went to some sorta academy and it was all fine. I managed to get my hands on some photos, but blogger is being mean to me and won't let me upload them. And what is a portfolio??

It's Raining... It's Pouring... I'm Pouting...

Yuck. Rain. Horrible, annoying, good-for-nothing rain. It is pouring down here. Which means I'm bored out of my wits. Two  Three reasons why I hate rain:


1. Nothing to do except talk, write, draw, listen, talk some more, listen even more, eat, breathe... I think you get the point.


2. After it's stopped raining, I want to go out and yell IT STOPPED RAINING!! But after it's rained, Lil has one rule: after raining = indoors. Because of mud. But personally, I like mud.


3. And three, well there really isn't a three because I had to make a three because I don't like the number two and no way would anything in my life ever end at two, full stop. 


Anyway. (Thinking back to number three, I also have three besties -- Sienna, Ashlynn and Laine. My sisters are my besties as well but they're my sisters. And you may think I have two sisters, but BTW together we make 3. I've proved my point.)


Here are some photos of me in the rain. You can't tell it's raining, but trust me, it is. 

Personal Favourite.

Woohoo! Excuse me. I just remembered I'm going on holidays with Lil tomorrow and I get to catch a plane -- for the first time! I'm giddy with excitement! Kit and Josie won't be posting 'cause no posting when Lily's not here. So, I'll post in about one week's time! I'll get some pics for you! On the down side, I'll miss Ashlynn's major slumber, but where going to have a private one all to ourselves when she gets back. She promises. I have to go pack, so:

Peace Out,


Julie

Dreaming...

Hello, readers! Yesterday was a quick post with Lily's entry, so here's an actual post, written by me. I have completely recovered which is good. I had an ear infection which are extremely painful. Anyway.

This morning I went for a walk in the garden, to get some fresh air -- I love taking walks, it makes me feel very relaxed. It's my way of relaxing. I also take some photos which I'll share with you, of course!

 At the beginning of my walk

 I found a tree to climb! :)

Okay, now here's the weird part. After my walk, I sat on a step and just thought and thought and dreamed. I closed my eyes and ignored everything for a second or two -- then, an idea formed into my head -- I would really like to live on a farm, and have a horse. And be able to ride it, every day. Then it popped, I woke up and shook my head. No, I thought. I like my life here. I'm happy with basketball and art. So I stood up with clenched teeth and stomped up stairs. I tried to forget the idea, but it's still there, in the back of my mind. 

Any of you had that happen to you?

Peace Out,

Julie

iHeart American Girl's GOTY 2012 Contest Entry!

Hey guys! Long time, no post. By the way, I'm better! So, as you can probably tell by the title, this is Lily's entry for Gabby's GOTY 2010 contest! You can check out the rules here on Gabby's blog.


So, here's her entry!

April Erinton is a ten year old girl living in Seattle who has a pet dog and is quiet and shy. She also has a disability - she’s blind. Everyone seems to think she’s weird and acts as though April can’t hear them. Then, Xylia arrives at April’s school. Even though Xylia is loud, outspoken and energetic they quickly become best friends and Xylia teaches April to have fun. But then, Xylia moves back to England, and April’s left in the shadows. But this time, can April change this herself? 

If April was GOTY, I’d make her have two friend dolls -- Xylia, who would eventually move back, and April’s new friend, who I would name Shannon! She’d also come with her dog, Etoile who helps her around town.

Hope you enjoyed Lily's entry! Will post (hopefully) soon!

Peace Out,  

Julie

P.S. Some people have asked which doll Lily's saving up for, it's going to be... Kanani! She's not there yet though.

Merry Christmas!

Hello! Sorry I didn't post yesterday like I was supposed too - We had church and everything. But that's beside the point --

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Oh, I love Christmas. I have true Christmas spirit, and I do believe in Santa Claus, I am not embarrassed to say so. Kit doesn't though, and that's her problem. Anyway.

Because time in Australia is ahead of you guys in America, Lily and us three have been awake for hours.

Lily did not get any AG things for Christmas (she didn't want anything from AG for Xmas 2010 *:(*) but she got some pretty cool stuff.  She got a country road tote bag, a watch, iTunes Card,  finally Lego HP for the PS3 and a series of other stuff I am not bothered to list. Anyway. (By the way, if you have a white Christmas,  you are very fortunate. We have a freezing, raining Christmas. 24 C... Brrrrr... Oh, I'm going off raving...)

So that was a brief explanation of our Christmas! Now I'll announce the contest winners :

In third place, Gertie1999!

Her entry: 

Fun
Hot
Dry
Tiring
Sun Screen
Pool
Vacation

In second place, Caelen!

Her entry:

Summer, such a wonderful season, the birds chirp,the sky is blue, all the animals come back and families go on vacations that bring them closer together.
  Yet I wonder, scratch that, yet I know that everything comes alive, old couples think back to their summer romances and kids go to their grandparents, relatives and any other family members. 

Kids go to camp and see their old friends, they play games and sing songs and tell scary stories by the camp fire it's almost as if you can hear their laughter.
  But for me, summer is a time of the year when I go to visit my grandparents and summer is the best season ever! So I don't want to waste it.

She went a bit over 50 words, but I loved how creative it was!

In first place... Emma!

To me, Summer is the season to see friends and have free time because you have no school.

She also had a gorgeous picture, which I was going to post, but Blogger isn't being my best friend right at this moment.

Congratulations, all of you! I loved reading your entries. I have already emailed your certificates. If you didn't get them for some reason, please email me.

I have to go now, so see you! 

NB: I will be going away soon with Lily, so I won't be posting for quite a while (about 4-5 weeks). This will be my last post for 2010! Unless, I have a change of mind, of course! So have a happy New Year!

Peace Out & Merry Christmas,

Julie

Josie

I'm sorry I haven't posted in ages, I've been super busy. The usual - tests, homework, and Harry Potter 7P1. I loved the movie. Totally my favourite. 


Also, Kit and I still aren't on the same terms. And Josie isn't sure who to pick. Well, her and I made a really pretty collage of her the other day!

I love it! It's gorgeous. I was reading Love that Doll when it showed a picture they made from a place called picnik. It seemed awesome, so I checked it out, and that is what Josie and I came up with. Pretty, hey?

Sorry this was a short post, will post later.

Peace Out,

Julie

P.S. Thank you my 20 followers! You mean a lot to me...

Sobs of Loneliness *sniff*

Life is so not fair. So not fair. Okay, so I went to school the other day and suffered at bad day. Worse then bad. It started like this. Me and my friends and sisters (Sienna, Gracie, Emma, Josie, Kit and I) decided to kinda dress up. Just not be our boring selves. If you know what I mean. For one day. One. Okay, it was my idea.
So, we all catch the bus together, with the snobs. Hannah, Jasmine, Ashlynn, Lanie, Erin and... Trisha Nobman, the worst of the worst. They stick together, only care about themselves, (by that I mean Hannah only cares about Hannah, Trisha about Trisha and so on) and what's hot and not. We're on the bus, when Hannah and Trisha approach. Sienna and I eye each other. This is not good. 


"Hello. You must be Josefina. I'm Trish and this is Hannah." she smirked at Josie.


"Actually, it's pronounced with a h." Sienna piped up. 


"Oh, sorry." I bet you Trisha Nobman actually said in her nasty, useless mind. "Who cares how her names pronounced! She's not me!"


"Well, we're thinking of having a larger group today. And I was wondering if you four (pointing at Josie, Kit, Gracie and... Emma) would like to sit with us."


"Sure," they shrugged. They did not have, or even knew about, the grudge between Sienna, I and the snobs. 


"Hey what about us?" I asked standing up. 


"Sorry, their's only enough room for eight."


"Surely, there would be room for two more," Sienna joined in. "And hey, there's six of you, and four of them. That makes ten."


Trisha ignored the comment. "See you there!" she smirked at me and Sienna and took over, followed by Hannah.


I slunk into my chair with Sienna. Doing so, I happened to realize Lanie and Ashlynn weren't sitting with anyone but themselves. And it clicked into my head. They were kicked out by Trisha. Geez. I wondered why.


Well, I knew it wasn't such a good day already. But little did I know. 


I flunked algebra, got my locker stuck, tripped over a Gr. 8, forgot my palm cards for the talk I was doing, got my timetable mixed up and went to Basketball training instead or english, then the cafeteria. I now understand why Greg Heffley quoted the cafeteria the worst place in the world. 


So I slunk by myself in a chair. Over watching the snobs. Sienna was late.


I noticed Lanie by herself. Wandering around where to sit. I saw she got rudely ejected nine times. She'd even tried to ask at a Gr. 8 table. I saw her inhaling deeply and realized why. She was coming towards me. Me, Juliet Marie Albright. A snob and me. 


She approached me and swallowed hard. She opened her mouth. 


"Yes." I casually smiled.


"Um, beg your pardon?" she whispered.


"Of course, have a seat." I smiled.


"Really?"


"Really? Of course! I'm by my self." I shrugged. Woah, she had a quiet voice.


Then, my attention was grabbed by Sienna who was madly waving at me. She was standing next to Ashlynn. Boy, is this a weird day. I motioned her to come over and sit with me. The two came casually and sat down.


I gave her a funny look, which she gave back. I nearly laughed. Nearly. I was wondering if we would hit off in conversation, when I remembered Ashlynn Davies was a chatterbox. We probably would.


"So, left to rot by Trisha?" she asked, flicking her long blonde hair out of her way.


"Talk about rot," I smiled. 


"She's so mean." Lanie whispered. 


"Do we know, or what!" Senna (that's what I call Sienna) rolled her eyes.


"That was really rude what she did to you." Ashlynn said.


"Talk about rude! Look what she did to you two!" Senna said.


Wow. We talked for ages. Okay, so you may think the day ended pretty well and everything, but then, Kit's laugh made me turn two tables away to where they were sitting. The people who had sat between us had cleared, and I could hear them well.


"Talk about supporting the preppy look!" Trisha gloated.


I felt my cheeks reddening as I heard other snippets. They were talking about me. 


I couldn't take it. I stormed off. 


I could hear Senna, Lanie and Ashlynn's confused cries, but I didn't look back as my eyes filled with tears.


That was a few days ago. Now, I'm considering Lanie and Ashlynn friends. Scratch that line, I am. 


You see, Kit and I had an argument, that went along the lines of friends. Now, we're not talking. I actually haven't been sleeping. I've been staying over at Senna's. And Josie's taking on Kit's side. Okay, I may not be totally alone, but well enough. At home, at least. And am I really supporting the preppy look? Okay, maybe.


Peace Out,


Julie

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!

Hey everybody!


Sorry I haven't been posting in such a loooooooong time, I've had to had a little holiday from blogging.


To start, Happy Halloween for yesterday! It was super fun trick or treating. For Lily. But me and my friends from my school (Vienna Woods SS) Gracie, obviously Kit and Josie, Sienna and I did our own little round. It was super fun. 


I haven't also been posting cause of school. I had an oral presentation to give in and more (e.g. maths test - uck! I am really, really bad at maths). May not seem like much, but trust me it, is.


Thirdly, it's been National AG Literacy Week in Australia. Practically means that I have to read. A book a day. It was Kit's idea - of course. Then you fill out a submission letter, get your owner to sign it and send it in. These are the books Kit forced me to read:


The Undrowned Child
The Magician's Nephew
The Bad Beginning
The Locket of Dreams
Danny - Champion of the World
The Mysterious Benedict Society
HP #1


Kit read, well, more complicated ones. Including the Hobbit and HP #5. The books I read were really good for ME. Usually I only read BSC books.


Oh yeah, Lily's friend slept over one random day, and she bought this awesome blue drink called an Aroona. Lily's brother had a Solo. Anyway, I asked if I could take some random photos. Funnily, they said yes. So we spent the whole morning taking photos, playing with drinks and making experiments.


Oh yeah! (again :D) Kanani! The so called GOTY 2011! Well, so far she sounds really interesting. Apparently she's Hawaiian, which is awesome! Lily really wants her already. And I'm fine with that!

Peace Out,


Julie

My Daily Life.

Hey! Jules here! Well, I was randomly wondering what I was going to do for my next post, when I realized, it was sitting right under my nose. Kinda literally. I would do what I do every day! Wake up. So here is a pic of where us 3 live, love & laugh.

Okay. So I usually go to sleep in the middle bed. I'm up first, followed by Josie. 10 mins (at least) followed by Kit. So, me and Josie go jump in the shower, then wake Kit up, who gets all grumbly and moans a lot for the first 2 mins. Then realizes "I'm gonna be late!" and puts her act on. After a lot of pushing and shoving and "you've had long enough with the hairbrush gimme!" we're all dressed and done. 

Next, some good old weetbix does the trick. Traditional Aussie brekky. 

I usually have 5 mins then to make a Vegemite sandwich. PB & J for Kit and hommus and cucumber for Josie. Then, we pack up our troubles in our old Kit bag! (he-he :D) And run to school. And I get a detention for my skirt being too high up and my hair being too 'inappropriate' by Mrs. Janet. She's the worst teacher ever, at least at Vienna Woods State School where I go to. I can't wait till high school. 

Quick post! Oh yeah, Lil has made her mind up her doll! SHE WON'T TELL US THOUGH! Cannot wait till she tells. Josie and Kit are asleep and I'm listening to my iPod (Back to December) and hearing Kit sleep talk about someone. Hmmm.

Peace Out,

Julie

Sport Fanatics!

Julie here! Today I learn some interesting things about about our new friend, Josefina. Well, it started like this. We were sitting cross-legged on our beds this morning, when I popped up with the question that you would've said in one way or another at least once in your life: "What are we going to do today? I'd like to do something for my blog." So, suggestion after suggestion, Josefina asked "Don't you ever just play some sport?" 
"You, you, you like sport?" Kit exclaimed.
"Yes..." she began slowly, "don't you?"
"I love it, and so does Jules, but we didn't know you did!" Kit told her.
"So what do you like?" I asked her.
"Anything!" she shrugged.
"Anything?" I asked again. Was she kidding?
"Anything." she confirmed.
"Well, I love baseball and Jules loves basketball!" Kit said.
"Cool!" she grinned. "So, wanna go into the backyard and play!"
No need for reply. We were up and racing out the door and down the stairs. To our surprise, Josefina won!
Kit and I began doing stretches, so Josefina joined in. And woah, Josefina was flexible. Kit and I were stunned. 
"Sick." Kit awed.
"Out there." I awed as well. She could do the splits almost as well as Ivy! (No one is better than Ivy) Kit and I tried to copy her. Personal fail!

amazing Josefina

Played some handball after lunch! Josefina won, off course...

Is she flexible!

Finally, I get to share some exciting news with you! Josefina found in the mail the western magic basketball club. I went to their trials today and got in! I am so excited, I'll be able to play basketball again! *Dancing around Crazily*

Oh yeah, I chose Josefina a nickname so I don't have to write her full name on the blog ;) or keep on saying: Josefina, Josefina, Josefina! Gets a bit long. It is... Josie! So Josefina is now Josie. The poll was a bit useless. Sorry. 

Oh yes, Kit, Josie and I are now the Sports Fanatics! He he!

Peace Out,

Julie

P.S. It's my 10th Post!

Happy Birthday Lily!

Part 1
Hello! Sadly I haven't posted for a few days. But I'm back!

OMG! Today was Lily's 11th birthday! (14.10.10) And a good and bad thing happened - the two dolls, me and Kit became 3! So, guess which new one Lily got?

....................................

She got... Josefina!

Yup, that's right. Lily opened Josefina this morning! She is... beautiful. Which is the problem. You see, Lily loves Josefina so much. And was going to get Josefina instead of me, but... decided me. Well, Kit is Lil's favourite. But now, I've got this sick feeling in my gut. What about me? I feel left out already. I'll tell you what happened today.

I'm sitting on the balcony minding my own business, then, all of a sudden, I here two voices behind. First thought - Lily and her friend. Until I realized that was Kit's voice and another - with an accent. I herd snippets of the conversation, but one sentence made me turn around. "You'll love Jules, she's the best!" 

I turn around and guess who I see? Kit and another girl.

"Hey Julie!" Kit calls me. "This is Josefina!"


"Umm... Hi!" I replied hesitantly. Who was she? "Are you a friend of Kit's?"


"I am now! And yours too, and who know's, we might even be besties! Oh, silly me, I forgot to tell you the most important part! I'm Lily's new doll!" she grinned.


It hit me like an arrow. Josefina was my new housemate sister! Before I knew it,  Kit and Josefina we're chatting to each other like they were old friends they had known since they were one years old who had bumped into each other in the supermarket. *Sigh*. How is this happening?


Well, it was when Kit suggested a walk in the garden which really changed the day. Soon, we were in an awkward silence, when Josefina broke the silence. "Woah, the grass is green here!"


To make a long story short, that got the convo shooting, and she was... my bestie! With Kit!


That was a really quick recap on what happened today.


And here's a sweet photo of us together:

Boy, do things go fast!

Part 2


Okay, so that's what happened today. But two things and one that is really important first, on Lily's behalf. 
First -- These are some blogs I'd love you to check out!


Remarkable Rebecca :)


and


Julie Sparkles


Anyway, they both really want more follower's (like me!) and would love you to check them out!


Secondly...




What is AG doing to AG?

It is completely ruining it, making it something else. I love the Historical Characters. (duh, I am one) And AG is going OVER THE TOP with MAG's. I'm not being jealous or anything, it's true. And retiring those AG historical characters, I don't agree with that.


Do any of you agree! Please comment!

Well, Happy Birthday Lily! Hope you enjoyed this post.

A TV Commercial? Isn't that just a little over the top?  

Don't really get the list thingy.  But I'm still printing one out!

Peace Out,


Julie

Holiday

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been busy and tired. Actually, Lily is busy and tired. She won't give me her password to log in. She says it's obvious. Anyway. Lily is sad as a serious and tragic problem arose a few days ago. 

Well, on a happier note, my cousin Holiday sent me a letter from France! Holiday is so nice and one of the best photographer's I know. Here is what she sent to me:

5.10.10

Bonjour, Julie!

How are you, in Australia? France is great, and quite warm, well, I guess for Paris. It's 14'C right now.

Maman told me I might get to stay with you. Who knows when? Months, or even years. But I will 99% come and see you and your new friend Kit. I have made a great friend, like your friends Kit and Ivy, named Sienna. She is a great runner. Well, I must hurry and get Louise, one of our horses (we are staying at our farm for a week), back in the stable. She is getting a bit cold.

Love from Holiday

Well, that was what she sent me. Holiday was born in Australia but moved to Paris when she was eight. She's thirteen now.

Well, like Holiday, (nicknamed Holi or Daydream) I've gotta go! Sorry it was a dull and picture-less post. Hope you enjoyed it!

Peace Out,

Julie
