Night Terrors

I got so scared last night. I still am shaking from the experience. No, I did not get a night terror, but my little sister did. Well, we think that she did. She had them twice last night. One around 11:00 and another around 1:00. On the one at 11:00, she 'woke' up screaming. (It is nearly impossible to fully rouse somebody if they are having a night terror.) My instincts told me that she had thrown up, which I had experienced with her screaming before, but that is a different story. (She also sleeps in the same room as me.) (She's 5.) So I said, "Emma, did you throw up? Are you okay? What happened?!" Emma didn't answer; she just kept screaming and yelling. Then my dad came running in my room. He asked, "Why is she crying? Did she throw up?" I said, "I don't know!" Dad sat down on her bed, and he asked her if she threw up. She just kept yelling. Then dad cradled her in his arms, and asked her what her dream was about. Dad and I only caught 'Chuck E. Cheeses'. (We had gone there that day for my brothers baseball party.) Dad finally was able to calm her down, and we were able to go back to sleep. Then at 1:00, she was worse. Instead of just screaming, it was blood curdling. She screamed and yelled and shrieked like the world was going to end. It really scared me. Dad ran in even faster and pulled her up from the bed and set her backwards on his lap. She buried her face in his chest and held on to him and wouldn't let go. She screamed in his chest and cried and cried. She got louder and louder, and finally my Mom ran in too. Emma would not stop. She was scaring me so much, (I was sitting up by then.) that I started to cry too. (Yes, I am very sensitive.) Dad tried calming her down, but couldn't. Then he left and left the job to Mom. She cried and shrieked. Mom layed Emma down on her bed, and she lied down next to her, rubbing her back and telling her everything was going to be alright. Emma calmed down, and started again. Finally, Mom said that she could sleep in her room, and picked her up and took her in. In the morning I asked Emma if she remembered what scared her so much. She said, "What dream?" I said, "Don't you remember waking up screaming?" She replied, "No..." That was the first supposedly night terror I experienced. (She didn't have any more that night.) You would be scared if you were in my situation, I can promise you that. My friend, Rachael has night terrors, but only if she's used to sleeping in a room. If she's in a new room, she doesn't have any. How weird is that?
A scared blogger,

New Recipe

I just posted a new recipe on my The Passion of Cooking blog. I have a link to it, and I will include pictures of the recipe. I won't tell you what it is, because that would be cheating.

Ah, Yesterday....

Lots of stuff happened yesterday. It was really fun too! First, I was able to play with Chase, and we had a great time. Then her mom offered to blow up their blowup waterslide. That was fun too! And then, Kami, my friend that lives behind me, came over while I added a new post to my The Passion of Cooking blog. At first I thought it was Cami, Chase's younger sister, because Emma was screaming, 'Kami's here! Kami's here!' But I thought she was saying 'Cami's here! Cami's here!' Sorry if that is confuzzling. ANYWAY, she came over while Chase and I were wetting up the place because of the water slide. FYI, We had just left the waterslide, and our hair was poofy (well mine was) and wavy. We actually looked (I mean, I looked) terrible. Kami came in with a french braid on the side, on her hair line, and had her hair straightened. Compared to her, I looked like I was swimming in a pig sty. I was really embarrassed. We then trooped outside and jumped on Chase's trampoline. Then Kami had to go inside to go give her dad her father's day present, and Chase and I made up a dance (yes, a dance. Heh heh.) to the Phineas and Ferb theme song. Then Cassidy Willy saw us dancing on the tramp, and asked if she could jump with us. We said sure, and she came over, and we jumped, waiting for Kami. (we had gotten dressed by then) Then she came out, and we noticed that my dad was burning tumbleweeds in our firepit, and we ran over to him and watched the fire burn higher than my dad. And my dad is tall. So, we watched the fire get higher and higher, and then we convinced my mom to bring out marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, and hotdogs, ketchup, mustard, and buns. We then roasted marshmallows and hotdogs. Yum.... Then we went inside Chase's house and watched YouTube. We watched a couple music videos, and videos, and then we had to go home, because it was 10:00 at night. That was the best day ever.
Well, ciao for now!

My Friend Chase's Blogs and a Water Slide

My friend Chase is havin' fun with creating new blogs. She has about 4 right now. Advice From Chase, Chase the Reporter, Fashion Trends, and QuteQueen. (her original) She seems to like creating new posts. She hasn't even touched her original blog in a LOOONG time. Now she just told me to start another blog (I'm at her house right now) 'just for fun' close quote. Should I?? I'm also going to add music to my other blogs, so you don't have silence when you're reading a blog, because, I mean, seriously, it just seems boring! I'll just add the same playlist to my other blogs. I'm still concidering making another blog. Hmmm..... That was really weird. I was listening to Apple Bottom Jeans, and in the beginning it starts with 'mmmmm', and right when I finished my Hmmm, it said that. It was funny. Anyway, to my water slide part.

So, my friend, Chase , has this HUGE blowup water slide, and it is really fun to play on in the summer. We even went on it today. My hair was really wet, and now it is the poofiest thing you could ever see. Anyway, it was really ironic, because the water was really COLD, so I refused to go on. Chase asked if I was ever going on, and I said, NO! Then, about 20 minutes later, I found myself in the pool part of the water slide. The water had gotten warmer too, so I was just swimming around, and splashing like there was no tomorrow. Then Chase complained saying that it was cold, and I was arguing saying that it was warm. Wow, we sure accomplished something for those 5 minutes. I feel wonderful now. (sarcasm) Anyway, I also just realized that I am a big Phineas and Ferb fan. My friend Mercedes Buckles (Sadie Buckles) and I memorized the theme song. We sing it all the time. ANYWAY....
Ciao!

Cooking & Baking Blog!

As I mentioned in my last post, I love cooking and baking. So I was thinking that I could post some of my favorite things on my new blog! And I just noticed that Candace, on Phineas and Ferb, has her own blog too! Sorry, that was completely random. Okay.... So, I would save How to be a Book Goddess and Other Random Stuff for daily life, Lizzy's Stories for, well, stories, and A Good Catchy Title For My Recipe Blog for recipe's! Aren't I a genius?! Oh, and I'll also allow comments on my blog because I want to know what you think about my favorite recipe's! And I'll include pictures on what the completed dish (please excuse my cooking language) would look like! Oh, and I hope you'll like my Dirt Pail recipe, because it was delicious, and today, I snitched some! Don't tell my mom.... Oh, and Dirt Pail tastes better when it's been in the fridge overnight, because the Oreo's are softer, and the pudding is colder. Yum.. :D
Well, ciao for now!

Yummy Deliciousness

Oh yeah. That hit the spot, right there, it did
Oh. My. Gosh. LOOK AT THAT! There is nothing more to say.
I couldn't wait much longer. I just had to eat it!
Ohhhh..... Just look at that yummy deliciousness

I love that picture. Just look how
delicious that is!

Oh. My. Gosh. I love this recipe. Oh. Wow. That was the most delicious thing I have ever tasted in my whole life! And it was simple too! I think I'm going to post yummy recipe's on this blog, because, as you all know, (or I hope you know) I love cooking and baking! And I just tried this recipe, and it was AMAZING!! Here it is! (and it's flour free too! Posted especially for Lizzie)

DIRT PAIL
(if you are lactose intolerant, you would not want this recipe)

2 cups cold milk

1 pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling

1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed (just have it in the fridge and use that)

15 OREO sandwich cookies, finely crushed

POUR milk into a large bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk for 2 min. or until well blended. Let stand for 5 min. Gently stir in whipped topping and 1/2 cup of the cookie crumbs.

SPOON half of the pudding mixture into JELL-O Summer Pail; top with half of the remaining cookie crumbs. Repeat layers of pudding mixture and crumbs.

REFRIGERATE at least 1 hour. Store any leftover dessert in airtight food storage container in refrigerator. (We just dug in. We could wait)

Makes 10 servings, about 1/2 cup each.

Lizzy Note: You don't have to use the JELL-O Summer Pail. You could use a CLEAN!!! bucket thing. I took some pictures, so you'll know what it looks like. Don't worry. Ha ha. Right, they're at the top. Again...

Lizzy Note 2: If you only have a 6 serving size Pudding Mix instead of a 4 serving size like I did, I used all of that, and did 3 cups of cold milk, instead of 2.

Yes, I know it looks like....well....dirt. But, it is REALLY good!! Try it the moment you leave my blog. I dare you...
Ciao!

Especially For Lizzie

Lizzie,
Thank you for telling me what you think. I also made some replies for you too! Especially the post when you asked if there are any powers left for you. When you see my reply, you will be happy, no doubt about that.
To all my other people:
I started a new blog! lizzysstories.blogspot.com! I have a link on the sidebar that you can use to get there. It says, MY STORY BLOG (VIEW IF YOU WANNA READ MY STORIES). (And a link on that blog to get you back. Don't worry!) I have a note at the top of the blog, and it says that I allow comments. Comment! I left them there on purpose, so I can know what you think, if I'm doing well, or what I should improve on! Most of the stories I posted were made when I was 9 to 10, so I was a little rusty. My friend wrote the Wizard, and the names who wrote the book are fake. Really, they are my friends from church (including me!) Figure out which is me! (I have a friend named Elisabeth, so you'll need to use your wits to figure out who is who). She asked me to type it up, and the Wizard started out as a game! The characters are true. Aricka, the fairy, was my friend LITTLE sister though. But she didn't want to play anymore, so we kind of eliminated the character. And there is a lot of sleeping in that book, I just realized. ANYWAY, I haven't posted The Mysteries of Madna yet, but I will, and I will update both blogs. Ugh, that will mean twice the typing, but, oh well. The Mysteries of Madna, I wrote when I was 8 years old! I got the idea from the book, The Secrets of Droon. They used to be my favorite books. Ever. I'm growing out of them though. But not the Madna book! I'm still writing it, and I think it's really cute. The plot. Good gracious! I tried to write somebody talking evily (is that a word?), but kinda failed. You'll notice when the 3 girls and Sydney go to the Prairie of the Purple Dragons. Cute, huh? I just told you something! UGH!! Oops, sorry Lizzie. Well, gotta get to writing!
Ciao!

Story Writing

A request was made by one of my 3 readers. AKA Lizzie. She saw how I have stories, and she wanted to read them. Now, I had no idea how to do that. At all. I was looking around for everything, but then I realized, just start a side blog, and have all of my stories there. I'd need to update 2 blogs, but what the heck? Can't be that hard. I hope. So, on my side bar, I'm going to have a link to let you guys view my story masterpieces. And I will have permissions on that site too, because, I don't want some random person to see my stories. That would just be embarrassing. So, if you ever see Lizzie, thank her, because it was her idea to do something like this. I now give her the 'Most Amazing Idea Comer Upper' award. I hope you love it, Lizzie
Enjoy!
Ciao!

Summer Swimming

On Saturday, my friend Lizzie invited me to go to the American Fork Rec Center to go swimming. What was the sad part, was when she came to pick me up, I told her what I was bringing. Towel, swimsuit, money, clothes, and shoes. She told me that I got everything. I said bye to my mom, and went into her car, and we drove to the pool. (We finally found it. We had to ask a family where the rec center was. They were very nice). We then ran inside (we were the only ones going. Me and her) and put our stuff in a locker, and ran outside. It was warm, but a little windy, and the asphalt hurt our bare feet. We set our stuff down on the grass, and jumped into the pool. That was so much fun! We then reluctantly got out because we were hungry, and I bought us some stuff to eat at the vending machines. We then lay down on our towels and snacked on Trolli Sour Gummy Worms. We then got back in the pool, and then went on the water slide they have there. Jeez, that thing is way up there! I hate climbing on metal stairs high up, like at Seven Peaks, because it just feels like the whole thing is going to break, and you're going to splat on the ground. And the wind was blowing pretty hard up there too, so it was freezing! P.S. We were wet. 'Nuff said. We went down the slide, and into the lazy river a couple of times. We then got back in line to go down the slide, but then they closed the slide for some weird reason. When Lizzie and I walked down the stairs, we saw life guards running around all over the place, and saw a black life guard pushing his way passed the crowd, with a floating stretcher over his shoulder. We then saw a life guard in the pool beneath the slide floating an unconscious body. We heard rumors that the man broke his back on the slide. Good gracious! That memory will be stuck in my mind forever. They had evacuated the whole pool. Even the ones on the other side. Why, I do not know. They eventually let us back into the pools, and we just hung out in the lazy river for the rest of the time we were there. Lizzie dropped me back off at my house, and I changed into some clothes. Later that night, when I was getting dressed, I felt this stinging feeling on my shoulder. I looked down, and saw the hugest burn ever. That was the one thing we had forgotten. Sunscreen. I felt like the biggest doofus in the whole world. I looked on my other shoulder, and saw another burn there too. Then I twisted around to look at my back, and there was a burn there! OUCH!! I put some Green Ice on my burns (Green Ice is like this jelly like substance, and you rub it on your burns. It's cooling lotion), and wore a tank top during the night, and my burns still hurt today! Yowch! Well, at least they are healing.
Well, ciao for now!

Anime Lover


I just figured out that I am a major anime fan. Anime is Japanese drawings, like in Spirited Away or Howls Moving Castle. You know. And I am teaching myself, or taking step by step lessons on the computer. I'll show you a picture that I've drawn. Ha ha! Its on the top. Right.... Okay, moving on! Actually, that's all. Sorry about the pointless message.
Ciao!
