Clothes For a Cause

This past weekend, Nicole and I took our items into the Children's Inn Society. We had a total of 595 items ranging from clothing to toys, to shoes, to breakfast foods. Anything that the Children's Inn couldn't use would be donated to another organization that helps families get started on their own feet.

100th Post!

I was just sitting there, about to make a post on my own blog (link!) when I noticed that there were 99 posts on the main blog. That means that this is the 100th post!

That's about it I guess.

Clothes for a Cause

Nicole and I have reached our goal of 150. We actually have probably doubled it. We will be taking our "closet" of clothes to the Children's Inn this weekend.

We have items of all types. We even got extras. We've received shirts, jeans, shoes, dresses, hats, gloves, jackets, snow pants, and breakfast foods. The extras we received were toys.

L.A. Candy

The last 20% time I finished the book L.A. Candy. Madison is jealous that Jane is getting all of the attention. Jane is falling between two guys: Braden and his best friend, Jesse. Madison decides to hire a camera man to photograph Jane with Braden, and then Jane with Jesse, trying to make Jane look like she was two timing both of them. She gets pictures of Jane and Braden making out, and she gives them to a magazine editor. Before Jane knows it, she's all over every magazine and every headline imaginable. She's incredibly embarassed, and Madison tells Jane that it was all Jesse who gave the pictures to the magazine editor. Scarlett, Jane's best friend, goes over to Jesse's house to freak out on him, but when she returns, there's a note from Jane saying her and Madison had gone away for a few days to Madison's parent's house. In the note she also writes there is no cell service there so Scarlett wouldn't be able to tell Jane it was actually Madison.

Fearbook: Zodiac Killer

My reading standard is 11.R.5.1. I have summarized this on a different document. I am still going through the Fearbook and learning about past notorious serial killers and what made them blow up like a ticking time bomb.

The next man I have researched about is the Zodiac Killer. There is no suspects and the case is still unsolved. The Zodiac Killer may never be solve because it has been going on for about 40 years. The suspect behind the Zodiac killing is possibly deceased now. The Zodiac Killer has claimed to murder 37 victims. The reason I have said "claim" in that sentence is because in the 1960's and the 1970's the Zodiac Killer sent letters to the detectives that were trying to solve the case. He would always start in the letter saying, "This is the Zodiac speaking". No one really knows why he is called that.

The Zodiac always wanted his murders in the papers and he wants his mysterious letters in there as well. He would send cryptograms to the news media and demand them to print it out on papers. If they didn't, he would warn them that he will kill again. He kills mostly couples where there are no witnesses around. He mostly have killed women because most of the men survive to tell their stories. The most daring procedure he tried to do was warn the police department that he put a bomb on a school bus and threaten the police department that he was going to kill all the children. He sent a letter of the school bus and where the bomb was. He always called the chief of the police department "The Blue Piggy".

There has not been a Zodiac killing in a maximum of 30 years. Hopefully there will never be another Zodiac killing again.

Band's Still Working Together

This last two weeks we have been practicing very, very, very hard. We, yet again, changed our song to White Horse by Taylor Swift. We think that this song choice would be easier for us to preform.

Her story

No one will ever know my sister like I do, but not even I will know the way she feels. I know she is a strong woman, but at this time she needs help to build her strength. I am there for her along with all of the nurses who help her, which I could never thank them enough for.

I wrote just a small portion of her story and how I learned a lesson behind her accident. I used to say good-bye as if I would see you tomorrow. I now say good-bye as if I'll never see you again. I make sure to tell them how much they mean to me.

I inserted a picture of her and her first son with the portion of her story for memories of her every day. I will never forget my sister.
