Sewing on Fridays

This is the quilt that I'm making with Heather. We started a long time ago (maybe last month - January). I control the sewing machine pedal and Heather taps me on my knees to tell me to stop. Sometimes I forget to stop when she tells me and sometimes I forget to start. One day, I'm hoping to make something to wear like a top or boxer shorts. I enjoy sewing. It is something that I've always wanted to do, so I'm glad I got to do it with my educator, Heather. She's cool.

The Raccoons

     There were three sister raccoons, their names were Natifa, Shevon, and Nadia. They were walking through the woods one day, because they were kind of lost. They were supposed to go to Grandma's house, and Natifa said, "I know the way!" But in reality she did not. She got them all lost. Nadia said, "How about you use your cell phone to call Granny?" And she said, "Ok". As Natifa reached into her pocket to get the cell phone she let out a gasp. "Ohh no, I forgot to bring my cell phone." "Of course..." said Shevon. "What are we going to do now?" "Well where's your cell phone, Miss Thing?" Asked Natifa. "I have it, but guess what? It's dead." responded Shevon. "So Nadia did you bring yours?" They both asked. "I don't own a cell, but I have my iPad, maybe we can google maps it using my wifi" she said. "What's Granny's address?" However none of them could remember their grandmother's address... 

       They walked for hours and hours trying to find their way, until one of them had the idea to climb a tree so that they would be able to see their grandmother's house from above the tree canopy. Nadia chose the tallest tree to climb, and once she reached the top, she began to scan the forest for grandma's house. They all knew the address was 3412, but they couldn't remember the street name. They thought it was Harvard, but then Shevon thought it was Redandwhite Avenue. But then Natifa said "No, isn't it Cote Saint-Jacques?" They were so busy arguing over the street names that they began to confuse themselves.  

         They climbed the tree and saw someone they recognized. It was the dad; he was just walking around. So they all yelled, Dad! At first he was confused because he had no idea where it was coming from. Then he recognized the voices, he thought he was hearing things at first. Then he realized it was his three daughters' voices. He soon came up to see what the problem was.

         He told them that his car was in the garage and "I feel lost without it." He said, "How about I use a pay phone to call your brother so he can drive us all to Granny's house?" He then called Ron, and then Ron came and drove the three girls and their father to their Granny's house.

There, they made supper and they had a good time being a family, telling jokes and leaving their problems behind them.

 

The End.

The Most Amazing Lunch

I had the best lunch ever last Thursday.  We were exhausted from an hour of swimming at the Cote St Luc Aquatic Centre.  I was really hungry and I saw this amazing dish through the window.  It was singing to me, "Nadia, order me! We are meant to be together!"  Awesome lunch!  It's called "Pasta Forno": noodles with mozzarella cheese, chicken breast and Italian spices.  It was *really* good.  With Parmesan cheese and black pepper on top. It was really yummy! It was delicious!  This amazing meal was had on January 23, 2014. Yum.

Bowling

Today (January 16, 2014) at bowling Nadia got a score of 136. Winning the championship and a poutine. She finished the game with three consecutive strikes showing no mercy. She bucked like a bull giving competitors the ultimate smack down. Awesome!

It's been a long time!

What's new with you people!?  It's been a really really long time. I hope everybody is ready for the holidays. I hope that everybody has their rhum, their punch, their cake, their music and everything ready for the holidays. 
Enjoy the holidays my posey.
Nadia

Second place finish

Last Friday we went bowling and my score was 120! I was the runner-up. Sammy came in first place. He scored 140. It's too bad I don't have any pictures.

The story I have been working on for a while

In the town called Redhunter, there lived a lady called Tanya who was really smart. She had a lot of attitude, she was a feisty lady, who knew what she wanted and was trying to get what she wanted. She was big and she had a really huge head with a lot of hair. She had so much hair that it resembled a bird's nest. Her hair was coloured red and purple. Her hair was so big that she had trouble sleeping, but she still refused to cut it. I don't know why, but she kept on growing it. It grew so long that eventually it reached her ankles, causing her to trip every time she took a step.
Tanya was a 23 year old woman, studying how to talk to birds at Yale University. Some people thought that she was crazy for wanting to learn how to speak to birds. Some people would even go so far as to tease her, nick-naming her "The Bird Lady". But she didn't care, like whatever, she was doing something that she loved. Her parents thought that she was wasting her time and all of her intelligence on nothing in particular. Her parents Theresa and Mike asked her, "How can you make a living and find a boyfriend doing that?". "What will people think? You can't live like that!" Mike said, "you need to start acting like a human being, not a bird!" To which Tanya responded, "I am a human being, and I act like one too. So what if my interests are different than your's?"
"Everybody has their own talents and creations!"
Tanya was the type of girl who was all over the place, she couldn't keep still. But she felt sad and lonely inside. She needed a partner to share things and herself with. So she resolved to stop working so hard in school and put a little more effort in living and meeting new people. She started to go out on more dates with friends and potential lovers. She kept a journal of herself and all her adventures and took lots of pictures. She had high spirits and she tried not to let anybody bring her down.
But then one day she went to the gym and she met this cute looking guy, named Tommy. He was very tall, and good looking. He had brown hair with blond streaks. He was well built! He was really sweet and kind, and he didn't mind at all that she was studying how to talk to birds. In fact he thought it was kind of cool and unique. They fell totally in love quickly.
He invited her over to dinner at his parents' house. They had a nice lasagna for supper, along with a salad and cheesecake for dessert. Yummy. After dinner they took a walk in the park and they sat down on the swings and then he asked her if she would like to move in with him. She thought about it for a minute before answering. And then she said "yes, why not?"
A month later they moved into a nice huge house. It was really huge, some would say that it was a little too big for two people, but Tanya and Tommy loved it nonetheless. Because the house was so big, they had the idea to start renting out the rooms to people. They had a ramp for wheelchairs built in the back of their house. Three months later Tommy said that he wanted to get married to her, but he didn't know how to propose to her. He decided to take her out to a restaurant and then she proposed there. He put the ring n the desert and she accidentally bit into it and chipped her tooth. Once she found the ring, Tommy asked her to marry him and she said yes.
Three months later they got married on an island in Cuba and they celebrated with flowers, presents, champagne, and music. They enjoyed themselves to the fullest for the rest of their lives. Finally on that day she decided to change her hair for good!! She cut it and put reddish brown highlights and curled it. They eventually had two kids (a boy and a girl) and lived happily ever after in their huge house.

I hope everybody had a nice thanksgiving last weekend (if you celebrate it). Have a great week!
