Hey every body... nothing to really blog about...... blog about Passover tomorrow....... :)

Tara

Good night world!! No long blogging for me today.

Tara

Not much to blog about..... start school, do writing practice test, read the bible, etc.

So that's pretty much it.

PUZZLE

We finished our puzzle! Yay!! This was the puzzle we started back in California, in Grandma and Grandpa Geiger's house. Grandma Donna sent it to us, and we finally got it finished! Here is a picture of the puzzle.... it's called "Sticks Of Color".

Cute cat pictures-

I was really random today.... I took several pictures of the cat. Some of them are really cute!! Here's one.

22 posts, yeah!!

(Electronic notepad above)

I'm very, very proud of my self. I've blogged every week at least 5 times. I wonder how long this goal lasts, hopefully it'll go on for awhile!

Electronic notepad:

I've been given advice to carry pen and paper with me, wherever I go since I want to possibly be a writer and editor. Yes, this is good advice, but I lose what I write too often that way. So I've been trying to look for something electronic that I could write down my ideas, writings, and notes and saves it. I thought the iPod Touch might work, but it has a touch screen.... and those take forever to write on. So I've been looking around, and guess what I found? And electronic notepad! You write on regular paper on top of a screen (the device is about the size of a clipboard) and it records all your writing, and then you load it onto a computer. Pretty cool, right? Connections might possibly be able to pay for it, too.

Testing:

Pretty soon I'll be doing the tests Connections have you do once a year, starting with 3d grade. I've done my practice reading test all ready, and tomorrow I'll be doing the writing practice test. Math I'm okay with getting an average score, but I really want to get an advanced score for reading and writing badly! Hope it all goes well. Pray 4 me.

Room Decor~

Still haven't ordered the bedspread! :(

Spring Break-

Sannerieke left last Thursday! I'll miss her so much!! I think she's coming back on the 15th......??!!

I've been really enjoying spring break. I didn't have any music lessons, but I still had some school. I hung out with Sannerieke on Monday, and went to the Flory's for a PHOTO SHOOT!! (I have to say I love being in pictures!) It was awesome, and so much fun. Leah posted some of the pictures on FB. Then hung out with Abby on Tuesday until Youth group. It was all so much fun! Back to regular life tomorrow.

Tara

Hey everybody...!!

I'll blog much longer on Sunday.... right now I gtg!!

Tara

Oh, phew! I thought I forgot to blog again.

Sannerieke is going to be gone for a couple of weeks! I'm going to miss her alot :(

Tara

I can't believe I forgot to blog for two days!! I just hope I don't forget another day.

***********

Spring break has been awesome, even though I still have to do some school, still. I've been hanging out with Sannerieke and Abby.

I gtg!

Tara

Darn!! I can't load my new background. Oh, well.


So tired... I'll have to tell you all about today's events tomorrow... plus Ria wants to really get on, even though it's so late. See you all tommorow!!

:)


Tara

I'll have sixteen posts once I post this!! (I think)

I have to go already. Glad I remembered to at least post a little today!!


Tara H.

A new follower!.....

I have a new follower...... my friend, Sannerieke!!! YEAH!!!

Wow..... I'm really excited!! Lol!

Anyway.....

when you blog this often, you start to run out of things to write down.

Well, last night we hung out with the B's (Sannerieke and her family), and had a fantastic time. I showed Sannerieke my blog, and she decided to make one too! I helped her set up, choose her template, and then a cool background from http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/, the best place to find free backgrounds. Thank you so much for showing that to me, Jacynne!

I have one more follower!!!!

**************************

Room decor~

Does anyone know a really good book on room decor? (thanks!)

Anyway, we got this chair from a thrift store in town awhile ago, it's mostly green. Since I want my main colors in my room to be blue, sometime we're going to make it blue and purple with cute designs and everything then put it in my room. I've been trying to make alot of my items in my bedroom blue. My tissue box, my bed, etc.

*****************

So, you know how I will be having my batmitzvah party in May/June? Well, I've finally picked a mitzvah project. I'm going to help mom with contacting her family. On my moms side of the family, she has a hard time contacting with them. Not that she doesn't love them, of course, but... she'd like to get better at talking and contacting her family. So, for my mitzvah project, I'm going to help her. Cool, huh?

Tara

P.S maybe I can get Abby hooked onto blogspot!!

Ahhhhhh! I have two followers on my blog.... not a bad thing, of course, just wish I had more.

Turned out we didn't order that bedspread. Oh, well. We'll get it sometime.

We're going to be hanging out with the B's tonight. Shabbat Shalom!

Murder Mystery hasn't been re-scheduled yet, we haven't heard anything about it. Maybe the B's will.

Tara H.

Hopefully, Mom and I will order some stuff from Brylane Home, so I can order that bedspread (and possibly some other stuff, too. Who knows?)

I gtg already... longer blog posts hopefully on the week end.

Tara

Random... as usual!

Ha ha. I just noticed I'm a follower of my own blog.

Wow. It's been a week and a half, and I already have a lot of posts!

Weather has gotten better. In fact, its sunny out right now. Enjoying it.

I'm getting quite ahead with my school.... maybe I'll be able to finish early.

I love chocolate.

That's all.

Tara.

I've Kept My Promise

So far I've kept my promise. Which is good. My goal was to write 5 times a week, and last I have done more than 5 times. Hopefully, I'll keep on blogging!

I'm surprised we haven't lost our power yet.

Well, we are no longer are having heavy snow, but we still are having strong winds. The wind is blowing snow from the ground. This morning some of the roads were blocked.

Can't wait until Friday. I am so ready for the week end.

That's pretty all I have to blog right now. Thanks for reading!

The Spaghetti That Made History!

Spaghetti sauce usually tastes like spaghetti sauce. But the spaghetti sauce Ria made today tastes great and unique.

Ria Hueper usually helps her mom with cooking dinner, sometimes lunch, and occasionally with snacks. Her family calls her "The little chef."

"We're making spaghetti sauce tonight. We have herbs, tomato sauce, Keen-wa gluten free noodles, so that Dad can have it since he's slightly allergic to gluten. The herbs we are putting in it are bay leaves, a little bit of Israeli herbs, and parsley," Ria said.

Ria hopes to possibly be a chef one day, when she grows up.

"I think I'll work as a chef for a few years, maybe," she exclaimed. "Maybe even an Italian restaurant. I love Italian food!"

The spaghetti sauce tastes like a traditional spaghetti sauce, except its slightly sweeter and has a salty, smoky flavor.

When the Huepers sit down tonight to eat, they certainly will enjoy their delicious food!

**************************

A cooking tip from Ria for sauces:

1.Most professionals use wooden

spoons, because they don't want

it to taste metallic, or get tiny

chunks of plastic in it.

It tastes better and is healthier and

better that way. Use a wooden spoon!

*****************************

Her spaghetti sauce recipe:

~Ground beef

~Tomato paste, tomato sauce.

~Smoked salt

~Cinnamon

~A teeny bit of sugar

~Bay leaf

~Parsley

~Regular salt

~Israeli herbs

~Basil

* Ria suggests using Keen-wa noodles!

********************

Thanks you guys so much for reading! I wanted to interview someone about something as if I was in a daily newspaper, and so I interviewed Ria about her spaghetti sauce she made tonight! ( It is VERY good!) I used a voice recorder, and a pen and note pad. I'll try and interview some people for the Murder Mystery, and to write all about it.

The Snow Blizzard~

Right now we are having a small snow blizzard, which is very unusual for Homer, Alaska. I just hope we don't lose electricity so I can keep blogging.

I better finish, just in case the electricity goes out and all my work is deleted. Thanks for reading!

Remember.... I love it when you leave comments! :)

Tara H.

A couple of questions and then just some random stuff........

Room decor~

This is what I'd like to get for a bedspread. I've had the same old green bedspread for a few years, and I thought it would be good to get a new one. I can't wait until I can order it! If you want to know more about it just click this: http://brylanehomes.com/decor/Jackson-Comforter-Set.aspx?PfId=15475&DeptId=19903&ProductTypeId=2&PurchaseType=0&pref=pvp#ReviewHeader

Tell me what you think of it..... is it right for me? Because if you don't, there are lots of other great, cheap bedspreads I can find.

Thx!

Big Bummer :(

Murder Mystery..... canceled.

Yesterday we received a call from *CCC (Christian Community Church, where they are holding the murder mystery) and they said that there was some rumors that there was going to be a big snow blizzard (We've been getting a lot of heavy snow and strong winds), so they canceled.

What a big bummer! :(

We don't know when they will re-schedule the murder mystery, but I'm hoping they will next Friday......

I was so looking forward to writing all about it! Oh, well.

Room decor~

Thanks for the comments and ideas! If you come up with something really cool for room decor let me know. :)

Spring!!!........ Not.

For three weeks in Homer, AK, the weather was acting like it was spring.


But for the last few days, It's been snowing lightly. Today, I woke up and looked out side my window, and there was snow everywhere! Public schools have no school today....


Murder Mystery~

Tonight CCC (Christian Community Church) is holding a "Murder Mystery." Everyone that is going gets a character, and she/he gets to dress up as that character and act like their character. Guess what character I got? A newspaper reporter! Mom and my younger sister Ria are dressing up as gypsies, and Brooke is "Miss Hawaii." I don't remember Dads, though. I'll take pictures of our costumes so you can see them.


Room decor~

My favorite color is blue, and that's the color I want most of my room to be. I plan on getting a new blue bedspread, and possibly buying more blue decorations. What are some really cool crafts I can do to decorate my room more? Comment please if you have any ideas. Thank you! I might post a picture after my room is more completed.

Update on what I'm reading:

Right now I am reading, "The Pickpockets Tale." (You should read it Jacynne)

*******


I should go now. Thanks for reading!


Tara H.

Tired.

Can't Sleep.

UGH.

It's 6:30 in the morning right now and I can't get back to sleep. Might as well blog.

My goal:

Is to try and blog every school day. I don't know how long my goal should go- I guess for awhile, at least. End when I start running out of things to write about.

Hebrew:

Hebrew is coming along fairly well. Slow, though. I know how to say "How are you?" "Excuse me" and "Hello". I'll be trying to master some of the sabbath prayers.

************

Maybe I can go to sleep now. See you all tomorrow!

Comment......!

Tara H- The Girl Who Loves To Read

Tara

Still a little bit tired from the big Purim party we had two nights ago (It was a lot of fun, of course, but completely exhausting!). The morning after the party I woke up with a weak voice because I had been shouting alot.

Now that our living room is almost finished, we can have lots of people over now instead of being crammed into one small dining room.

Tara's random note:

No youth group tonight :(

Question for all the blog-spot bloggers out there:

What are some really cool gadgets that would be fun to add to my blog?

Tara- the girl who loves to read!

More all about me

More all about me:

Favorite actor/actress: Amy Adams, Anne Hathaway

Favorite ice-cream?: cookie dough

Favorite Musician?: Francesca Batistelli

Favorite Flower: I dunno...

Random Notes:

It's kinda funny how people (including me) always do a introduction of how many siblings we have, where we live, etc, even though the people that will probably be reading your blog already know that.

Tara H.

All About Me:

I'm stuck in between names- "Tara Hueper- the girl who loves to read" or "Tara Hueper's random notes."

I'll probably be mostly be doing random notes, but I do love to read. Which one? Leave a comment please telling which one I should have! Thank you so much.


About Me:


I love to read.... as you probably already know. I also love to write and make up stories, but not as much as reading. Since I was eight, I wanted a job that has something to do with literature. At first, I wanted to be a writer. But I don't think I'd like to have writing as my job. Because I love to read so much, I decided I should be a book editor. I like to give advice, and I love to read people's writings, so that probably the best job for me, right?

If anyone has stories that want editing, just let me know!



About my life:

Siblings?: Yes, two sisters! One older, one younger, so that makes me the middle child.

Favorite series?: The Covenant series, The Zion Chronicles, and several other series... too many to count!

Favorite treat?: Chocolate!

Besides reading and writing, what are some of my favorite things to do?: Hang out with friends, drawing, decorating my room, etc.



I think thats enough for now..... Thanks for reading!
