C'est Noël! Well, tomorrow it is. <div><br></div><div>Today, I took some portraits in front of the Christmas tree. I am wearing this really cozy and fluffy sweater and a skirt, which is new. I love the holidays, it's my favorite time of the year! In Monaco, it was one of the few times of the year I saw both of my parents together, in one place, at home, for more than a day or so. They're usually so busy; the only time of the year they have off is Christmastime. Now that I'm in les Êtats-Unis, or The U.S, I haven't seen them in a few years. But, now it's nice to just live with my friends, study, relax, and eat during the holidays. </div><div><br></div><div>Here are my portraits, if you'd like to see them;</div><div><div><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TsAYWOIj1wc/Vnw4s-MZQJI/AAAAAAAADC4/ISqHGf66dvA/s640/blogger-image-1379816899.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TsAYWOIj1wc/Vnw4s-MZQJI/AAAAAAAADC4/ISqHGf66dvA/s640/blogger-image-1379816899.jpg"></a><div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PVcPhoGzBHM/Vnw4tzpoQfI/AAAAAAAADDA/t3aksx3Jmtc/s640/blogger-image--2102978472.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PVcPhoGzBHM/Vnw4tzpoQfI/AAAAAAAADDA/t3aksx3Jmtc/s640/blogger-image--2102978472.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eXEhzJmAyHs/Vnw4vrYcQ4I/AAAAAAAADDQ/UaNeC7npevc/s640/blogger-image--809512558.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eXEhzJmAyHs/Vnw4vrYcQ4I/AAAAAAAADDQ/UaNeC7npevc/s640/blogger-image--809512558.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-W2w8iyjPdMc/Vnw4u9GrR-I/AAAAAAAADDI/MNpsTYd6EiE/s640/blogger-image-1164178544.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-W2w8iyjPdMc/Vnw4u9GrR-I/AAAAAAAADDI/MNpsTYd6EiE/s640/blogger-image-1164178544.jpg"></a></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">What do you usually do during the holiday season?

Bonsoir, tout le monde!<br />
<br />
I wanted to introduce you to <i>mes amis, </i>or my friends. In America, I have a lot more friends in just a few years than I managed to pull together in a decade and a few years in Monaco. I suppose I just can relate to my American friends a bit better. Without further ado; here are a few of my very good American friends!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is my good friend Ava. She's very funny! She has a lot of weird jokes that never fail to make me laugh. She loves frilly and flirty dresses and skirts, but in really dark purples and blacks. She has a really dark personality and sense of humor, which is pretty different from mine. Opposites attract!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5kS79OZBro4/ViacILeTGNI/AAAAAAAADCg/eX0oGKTVuBQ/s1600/DSC_0520.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5kS79OZBro4/ViacILeTGNI/AAAAAAAADCg/eX0oGKTVuBQ/s320/DSC_0520.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here I am with another gooad friend; Marisol! She's a totally cool dancer and current captain of the cheer squad. Around here, cheer is the really big thing. I'm not much of a cheerleader, though, so I like to play volleyball. Anyways, Marisol is one of my very first American friends. She's a little older than most of us, so it's pretty cool that she approached me first. On my first day of class here, I was terrified to even talk! But, Marisol made me feel a lot more comfortable by talking to me. She introduced me to all of her friends, and basically everyone in my classes. I still cherish her friendship. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kTfd3eAHk5w/ViacBEAz3oI/AAAAAAAADCA/ekE6yol2A7I/s1600/DSC_0532.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kTfd3eAHk5w/ViacBEAz3oI/AAAAAAAADCA/ekE6yol2A7I/s320/DSC_0532.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another photo of us, because Marisol is in my dorm and watching me write this. She insisted on me posting both. She's currently rolling her eyes, mon Dieu! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Tl8ZxVHj3bs/ViacBYeBpZI/AAAAAAAADCQ/0rPkPwpKvTU/s1600/DSC_0535.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Tl8ZxVHj3bs/ViacBYeBpZI/AAAAAAAADCQ/0rPkPwpKvTU/s320/DSC_0535.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And last but not least, my girl Rena! She was also one of my very first American friends. She's actually from Russia with her twin brother, Keanu. She's been here with her Aunt and Uncle since she was a little girl, though, so she doesn't remember nearly anything about Russia. She's taught me a few words of Russian since I've been here, but I don't want to attempt to write any out; the Russian language is NOT easy! Anyways, Rena is a very sweet and sensitive girl. She's a model and an artist. We actually draw a lot, it's lots of fun. She wants to be a fashion designer when she leaves PVA. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gVI_p9YPkjI/ViacC0n-qTI/AAAAAAAADCY/15Nnc6AHvW0/s1600/DSC_0540.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gVI_p9YPkjI/ViacC0n-qTI/AAAAAAAADCY/15Nnc6AHvW0/s320/DSC_0540.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And that's about it! I actually have quite a few more friends I'd like to talk about, but I didn't get the chance to take photos with them before I wrote this post out. Marisol wants us to go down to the Chinese restaurant now, so it's time to sign off. I've been so much better about updating already! Two posts in the past week or so, yaaay! I plan to update about this much or a bit more per week. I have a lot of exciting things I'm planning to do soon, so I will have more stuff to update you next time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

A bientôt,</div>

Woo, it has certainly been a little while, hasn't it? Almost an entire year of no posts! It's been quite an interesting year for me. I will try to deliver this information as rationally as I can; I have quite a bit to share.<br />
<br />
As a whole, I feel this year has been quite a transitional year. Finally settling into myself has been very calming and has kept my mind at peace. Over the years, I've had several (seveeeerrrralll) different personalities/looks/ideals/nationalities. I even tried out a different name for a little while, that didn't stick at all. I am excited to present to you all the true me, the one I set out to find several years back upon moving to the U.S. to study.<br />
<br />
<br />
My name is Violet Boudreau, I'm 16 years old, and I'm from Monte-Carlo, Monaco. My parents are very famous; my father is an author with a few hit books under his belt that have accompanying films, and my mother is a song-writer that writes for many American, French, and Italian pop stars. My entire life has been rather privileged and glamorous; flying around the world attending various premieres and events with my parents, being in the shadow at all times. I became good friends with Madonna's daughter, Lourdes, as we have similar problems of being in the shadow of the spotlight that is on our parents. Growing up living in the rich tiny little "country" Monaco has definitely shaped a bit of my ideals and who I <i>do not </i>to be. Many of my neighbors back in Monaco are multi-millionaires with several foreign cars and boats, with snobby and uptight personalities to match. I was able to find a small group of friends throughout school that weren't total snobs, and we still keep in contact to this day. As my life continued, I got increasingly tired of the glamour my life entailed. One late night, I decided to enroll myself into Peaceful Valley Academy, an American prestigious school with people from around the world. I got my acceptance letter the week after and fled Monaco without a word to start my American life. In America, I found many, many, <i>many </i> more friends. I started blogging. I found many internet friends. I started to form who I was.<br />
<br />
Today, I love many different things. I enjoy studying plants and growing them in my little dorm, I love candy and chocolate (which, btw, is really good in the campus candy shop!). I also really like makeup, but mostly stuff for my eyebrows because I'm obsessive over them. I love 90s clothes. I'm a huge fan of American pop culture and American music, thanks to my mom. I'm also really interested in ancient Greece and Egypt, but who isnt, hehe. I'm attempting to learn how to play piano, mostly because I really want to learn how to read music.<br />
<br />
Anyways, here is the new and improved me. I plan to start recording my life regularly (please hold me to it this time. Lord I am SO bad at this.) I hate leaving without some photos, so here is how I look today at this very moment. Being 100% me, 100% original me.<br />

Even though I'm 13, I love the spirit of Christmas! I'm so excited for Christmas to arrive, I've been counting down since November came around. I wanted to update you all since I've been inactive (yet again!) for the entire month!<br />
<br />
I wish I could show you my Christmas ensemble, but my Mom's camera is kind of broken so I can't show you! :(<br />

<br />
Hello, lovely readers! I haven't blogged here in almost a year, wow! I sincerely apologize, things haven't been necessarily too busy, but I haven't really had a very exciting year to blog about. I plan to blog more from here on, but no promises! I'm in the process of moving, so I'm very busy trying to get all my stuff back together. I hope to travel a bit more soon, I literally haven't gotten out of the house since last year, so... <br /><br />I guess I should update you on some events that happened over the past year so you are all caught up, I'll just list them since I'm lazy:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I've been moving around since the doll room has been a disaster this entire year, basically, and I'm finally in the process of getting a more permanent place. </li>
<li>A lot of new girls have moved in, and a lot of girls have moved out, so I have a lot of new friends I need to introduce you to.</li>
<li>You might have followed Aurora on her blog, and yes, we are really good friends now!</li>
<li>Tabby is probably going to be my roommate, so she'll be guest posting here sometimes.</li>
</ul>
That's about it for this year, so far atleast.<br />
<br />

Violet here!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, my most sincere apologizes for not blogging in SO LONG! Do I have any readers left out there? </div>
<div>
I finally got around to posting, I was quite busy as this semester is coming to a close, I had exams to take! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let's start off with my blog! I finally updated everything on it, I made a new header, updated all the profiles and changed my theme and background. So far I really like how it turned out and I feel very refreshed after doing this, I had my last theme for awhile! I do enjoy changing and updating my blog every once in awhile. </div>
<div>
I do intend to blog more frequently, but no promises! I'm really bad at remembering to update every week or so, some of my friends seem so good at it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next, let's move on to updates and news. I had a pretty quiet summer, since I have off of school, I went back home and visited with my parents, which I enjoyed. I also hung out with my cousin a lot, if you didn't know, my cousin is named Celine and she was mentioned in my Easter post many months ago. We look identical and get along great. Her parents (My Aunt and Uncle) are divorced, so I don't get to see her as often as I'd like as my aunt lives in France, and my uncle lives in Canada, so Celine travels back and forth rather often. </div>
<div>
My school year began in September, and I have enjoyed this year so far. Nothing too exciting to say about it as of now, I'll tell you if anything exciting happens!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I said, I will be updating more frequently as this year comes to a close, which sounds CRAZY because it seems like just yesterday that my best friend Lacey showed up unexpectedly with a plane ticket back to Alberta, which if you didn't know, happened in January. If you were wondering where Lacey is, well she left campus in June and went back to Canada. This school year she is living and studying in Italy! She is so lucky!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Goodbye for now! {And a photo of me taken recently, since I don't like just text posts, I HAVE to add a photo!} </div>

<b>Bonsoir, all! My name is Marion, and I'm doing a guest post on my good friend Violet's blog!</b><div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
Anyway, as I said above, my name is Marion. I have 13 going on 14 years old, and my birthday is May 16th. My full name is Marion Silvia Cheremisinova, I'm part French (born in Strasbourg, France) part German, and part Russian. My mother is from France - Strasbourg just as I was! My father was born in Germany but as a young child moved to Moscow, Russia. He then came to France as a teenager for a business opportunity that wasn't available in Russia. This is where my mother and father met, and eventually married. When they got married my father had gathered enough money to send his mother father, sister brother and grandparents to live in a small apartment in France with him. I was born 5 years later, on a crisp spring morning in 1994. My parents both got the job at a travel magazine to be travel writers - what they both have always dreamed of. When I was 5, we set off to Sweden for my parents to review hotels, cafes, restaurants in Stockholm. I was lucky enough to go with them. The travel magazine company was elated with the article they had written, and sent them to Pisa, Italy to do the same. Eventually after a few more travels, they had become very well known writers and the magazine had grown immensely since they had started there. At this time, they got their own section of the magazine. I was in it a lot, they often used me as a model of certain popular tourist attractions. By my 12th birthday, my parents decided I needed a more stable life, so they found PeacefulValley School Of Art. They told me about this, and I was so excited! I would finally be able to express myself in drama as I had always wanted to do. The school sent over a test forum, and I passed. I packed my bags that night, and bid a very sad farewell to my beloved parents. I left for America the next day. When I arrived, the students seemed excited to see a new student, apparently they haven't had a person from another country come for a long while.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At first I had trouble finding friends since my English was pretty lousy, but then I discovered a group of French speakers who actually understood what I had been trying to say. That group was consisted of Violet, Asia, Regina, and Victoria. Now Lacey, who is Violet's best friend joined the group since I had arrived. They really, really helped me grasp English and I swear they taught me more then the school's English program did. This group accepted me as I am, and I'm very proud to consider them some of my very best friends. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One day, Violet mentioned that she had a blog. I got really excited about this, and she told me that I could guest post whenever I wanted to! Finally, today I decided to post! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Recently, my teachers recommended I set up a Facebook page to further expand my English skills and meet some new online friends. I have since set one up. You can "like" me (American web designers sure are *creative*) at: <b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Marion-Silvia-Cheremisinova/561634683856807?ref=hl">My page!</a></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
Now I'm sure you are wondering what I look like, non? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Since last time I left off I got plane tickets to come home to Canada, the plane ride was great and it was literally the most fun I've had in a long while waiting for what will happen once we touch down in Alberta. I called my Mama and Papa to tell them I was coming home for a while and to pick me up at the airport, so they happily agreed and met me at the airport lobby. I checked in through security with my passport and everything and it was a lot less terrible that I remembered. It HAD been a long time since I'd flown to Canada though.<br />
<br />
When I got into the minivan, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was the same van we had since before I'd flown to America. Once we pulled into our driveway - My old one - I was told that my old room is going to be where I sleep and stay, they didn't say however that they had kept it the exact same since I had left.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zzGbO3-MfIo/UVCoWnZG8wI/AAAAAAAACaI/bCTGT7TcxOk/s1600/021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zzGbO3-MfIo/UVCoWnZG8wI/AAAAAAAACaI/bCTGT7TcxOk/s320/021.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
When I walked in, I was shocked to see it the same. I thought they had probably turned it into a study or a sewing room by now, but I was definitely mistaken. Everything was the same, I guess I had cleaned up when I left because it was clean on the floors and nothing was on my bed, but everything had a thin layer of dust on it. I wiped it away off of my bedposts and remembered pretending to be a princess since it was a princess -like bed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YC9khMTo0As/UVCoXec9yyI/AAAAAAAACaM/-Y6qSUuf_zs/s1600/022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YC9khMTo0As/UVCoXec9yyI/AAAAAAAACaM/-Y6qSUuf_zs/s320/022.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I fell back onto the comfortable bed wondering why I had ever left, and thinking seriously if I'm actually going back to PeacefulValley School of Art. I closed my eyes and relaxed and actually almost fell into a deep sleep, I guess the plane ride and jet-lag was wearing down on me. I quickly woke myself up, though. I wanted to look around my old room a bit more.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XlU-9dCI_QM/UVCoXoY9SOI/AAAAAAAACaU/skZch5rnkgU/s1600/023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XlU-9dCI_QM/UVCoXoY9SOI/AAAAAAAACaU/skZch5rnkgU/s320/023.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I got up and looked out the window down to the street on which we lived on - Lilac Lane. It was a quiet and pretty street with a park with a rather large fountain situated in the middle. Almost like a small town in a street.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--UMqn-9ovcQ/UVCoYVO0m8I/AAAAAAAACag/Tf846snwf-A/s1600/024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--UMqn-9ovcQ/UVCoYVO0m8I/AAAAAAAACag/Tf846snwf-A/s320/024.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I noticed my desk had a green striped box on it with some paper peaking out, so I decided to go over and see what it was all about. I pushed off the dust, and moved back my chair, taking a seat at the same exact spot I did my homework years ago.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y8c5miTdleU/UVCoYuYSo9I/AAAAAAAACak/k7VPRUZ518c/s1600/025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y8c5miTdleU/UVCoYuYSo9I/AAAAAAAACak/k7VPRUZ518c/s320/025.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I carefully opened the box, trying not to spill any valuable contents it may hold. I looked at the newspapers that were hanging out and realized quickly it was that old box that I kept my creative writing in back in the old days.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O8O6cF1Mhs8/UVCoY1Wlp3I/AAAAAAAACas/mkP5Fu2Cb0Q/s1600/026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O8O6cF1Mhs8/UVCoY1Wlp3I/AAAAAAAACas/mkP5Fu2Cb0Q/s320/026.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I took out my Composition Book and looked at some random math problems and a old, kinda bad story written on the pages. It skipped around a lot and had little creativity, it actually looks like I took the idea from 'Alice and Wonderland'. What can I say? I was a odd child.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2TrB4Euta50/UVCoZFjtfFI/AAAAAAAACa0/eqZXJKKJTpM/s1600/027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2TrB4Euta50/UVCoZFjtfFI/AAAAAAAACa0/eqZXJKKJTpM/s320/027.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I sat back and gently closed my eyes remembering some fond, and not so fond, memories from when I was sitting in this very seat. I laughed at some, and some made me cringe. Most of all, I felt happy and complete to be home and happy. I guess this is what I needed - Time away and time to spend with my family.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CrvHKPUcDs8/UVCoZaGfxmI/AAAAAAAACa8/guOpO7I76Yc/s1600/028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CrvHKPUcDs8/UVCoZaGfxmI/AAAAAAAACa8/guOpO7I76Yc/s320/028.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I got up from my seat, and I carefully put everything back in the green striped box I used to be so fond of and closed it. I was happily thinking of what I could write next, I guess I'm going to get a creative writing piece done too!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y8DkH9Bh5fM/UVCoZ0K0aEI/AAAAAAAACbI/cwggumOgmuk/s1600/029.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y8DkH9Bh5fM/UVCoZ0K0aEI/AAAAAAAACbI/cwggumOgmuk/s320/029.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I sat on my bed, thinking happily. This is just what I needed - Friends, Family, and most of all.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KrUSEDhr6dw/UOiRZ-BQ8iI/AAAAAAAACXE/TDUq7VRH_lA/s1600/IMG_7450.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KrUSEDhr6dw/UOiRZ-BQ8iI/AAAAAAAACXE/TDUq7VRH_lA/s320/IMG_7450.JPG" width="320" /></a> This morning, I got up and went through my regular routine. But this evening I decided to break my normal Saturday afternoon routine and go to my local cafe. I went in and was seated right away at a green metal table next to the window - yes - I got my favorite seat! <i>Hey, </i> I thought <i>today might not be so bad after all. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My waitress was Joanie, a good friend of mine who lives in dorm 7, near mine. She works at the cafe as a hostess and waitress - sometimes both. Eli was normally the hostess, but she went back to Massachusetts for Christmas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided I wasn't that hungry, so I ordered a slice of cake. She happily took my order saying it was a slow day. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1Xg9sZUfXYc/UOiRaCbPzOI/AAAAAAAACXI/JVoENVzApk0/s1600/IMG_7452.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1Xg9sZUfXYc/UOiRaCbPzOI/AAAAAAAACXI/JVoENVzApk0/s320/IMG_7452.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
She came back in a few minutes with my wonderful looking cake.<br />
"Yum!" I exclaimed when I saw it on the silver platter Joanie was carrying.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ml-heuvEBNw/UOiRaHZpnYI/AAAAAAAACXM/i0KTCyqA5hI/s1600/IMG_7454.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ml-heuvEBNw/UOiRaHZpnYI/AAAAAAAACXM/i0KTCyqA5hI/s320/IMG_7454.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
She delivered it and said "Enjoy!" with a polite smile. I happily dug into my cake - Yes, it was as good as it looks! I was actually feeling a little less homesick, I guess keeping myself busy helped keep my mind off of Canada. I heard the door bells jingle as someone walked inside.<br />
"Table for one, please" the girl said. I had a rush of shock run inside me - <i>it can't be. </i>I thought.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lx_qFAdeh08/UOiRbWTwdiI/AAAAAAAACXg/SNXLExWKeQ0/s1600/IMG_7456.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lx_qFAdeh08/UOiRbWTwdiI/AAAAAAAACXg/SNXLExWKeQ0/s320/IMG_7456.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I spun around in my chair - Curly hair, Blue eyes, Freckles, soft sweet voice with a heavy French accent... It was.<br />
"LACEY!" I yelled, maybe a bit too loud. She looked up startled that someone knew her name. She saw me and walked straight towards me.<br />

"How.. How.. Ho-" I sputtered.<br />
"How did I get here? Well, I was missing you so much, I had to leave. I just had to. My parents enrolled me part time in your school, and I knew I would be coming after Christmas. I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was coming." Lacey explained<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RsPxaXZexKA/UOiRdugbioI/AAAAAAAACXs/12EZwutTr3k/s1600/IMG_7459.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RsPxaXZexKA/UOiRdugbioI/AAAAAAAACXs/12EZwutTr3k/s320/IMG_7459.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
We both took a seat - Excited to catch up.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XqvizyUrpxI/UOiReGrMufI/AAAAAAAACXo/TcPxs-waBE8/s1600/IMG_7463.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XqvizyUrpxI/UOiReGrMufI/AAAAAAAACXo/TcPxs-waBE8/s320/IMG_7463.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
"So, how have you been doing?"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BFLck5hNdAY/UOiRfhXEjJI/AAAAAAAACX8/KEHfA1KA9MY/s1600/IMG_7464.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BFLck5hNdAY/UOiRfhXEjJI/AAAAAAAACX8/KEHfA1KA9MY/s320/IMG_7464.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
"Okay, seriously homesick. I never thought I would miss it as much as I actually do. I want to go home, but the plane tickets are just crazy expensive!" I told her.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I_18NE_mAZU/UOiRf38BiHI/AAAAAAAACX4/_F3Ng-1Lhl8/s1600/IMG_7466.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I_18NE_mAZU/UOiRf38BiHI/AAAAAAAACX4/_F3Ng-1Lhl8/s320/IMG_7466.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
"That reminds me - I got you a gift." Lacey open her zipper in her purse and took out a small piece of paper, stiff and straight, and handed it to me. "So, best friend, want to go home?"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Kv8QGDrZsB4/UOiRgcymHII/AAAAAAAACYA/0Rm3ia3A5jo/s1600/IMG_7467.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Kv8QGDrZsB4/UOiRgcymHII/AAAAAAAACYA/0Rm3ia3A5jo/s320/IMG_7467.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I slid the ticket closer to me. I was shocked.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"Mon dieu! Merci! Merci!" I exclaimed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"Want to see my dorm?" I asked getting up. "Of course!"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ypT1mKR5HJs/UOiRiEVkN-I/AAAAAAAACYU/hn1_XPBTfD8/s1600/IMG_7470.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ypT1mKR5HJs/UOiRiEVkN-I/AAAAAAAACYU/hn1_XPBTfD8/s320/IMG_7470.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
When we opened the door to dorm #5, Lacey said " Wow. It's so pretty! Your Canadian posters are of course my favorite though"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I threw on a bow shirt that I got for Christmas, some leggings, and some furry Ugg boots and ran outside. I saw the beautiful white snow, and it suddenly hit me. I remembered running outside as a small child, with a big heavy scarf and big clangy boots. I remember my père telling me how to build a snowman, and instructing me to first make a huge snow ball, then a medium sized one, then a smaller one. I remembered us going in the woods and finding sticks to make the arms, and raiding Mama's sewing kit for buttons that act as the eyes, nose, and mouth. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mSMChb9M4m0/UOIGfbdF6qI/AAAAAAAACSU/U1vAgmGjpT4/s1600/078.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mSMChb9M4m0/UOIGfbdF6qI/AAAAAAAACSU/U1vAgmGjpT4/s400/078.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
As a breeze blew my hair, I turned against it and shivered. I remembered I had forgotten to grab a jacket on the way out, Mama would have reminded me. I hated United States winters, they where cold, ruthless, and bothersome. All the people cared about is if the roads would be clear enough to go to the mall. Not in Canada, or at least in my town. The whole town came outside to sled and build snowmen, make snow angels, and not have a care in world if the streets would be clear enough.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I picked up a small bit of snow and threw it into the wind. It wasn't the same.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V50bUsF-mpY/UOIGga2tScI/AAAAAAAACSk/rQWUynMWDkg/s1600/081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V50bUsF-mpY/UOIGga2tScI/AAAAAAAACSk/rQWUynMWDkg/s400/081.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
I kept walking and stopped near a tree. I realized that I was now pretty much freezing, and walked my way back to my dorm. I was sad and home sick, when it was supposed to be a fun and exciting snow adventure.<br />
I had never been home sick before, I had left Canada because I was SICK of cold winters, snowing all the time, and the kids at school. My parents enrolled me in the specialty school I now go to, kind of like a college for Junior High to High schoolers. I was certain this would be the last holiday in America - At least for a year.<br />

Here is my bed, it's very old, but don't worry, it is still comfortable!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It has beautiful flower detail.<br />

My special rubber duck all the way from France, and a glass of water.<br />

I also have a jewelry box, it's extremely special. My father made it in a woodshop class, then gave it to my mother as a gift when he was older, and when I left France, she passed it along to me.<br />

It's very beautiful.<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last is a decorative chair, it's wicker and ties my room in nicely I think. </div>

You might have realized that I am not the regular poster, Violet, but we have decided to share this blog! You'll be hearing more from me later.</div>

Today I received my long awaited custom shorts! I got them in about 10 days time - Which is great considering they are coming from Canada! <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="fr"><span class="hps">J'adore Canada, it's my home country!</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tonight, it was a chilly fall evening. Perfect weather for hiking! We didn't want to go very far, so we just went to White Clay, close and fun! Why is it called Bryan's Field? To be honest, I have zero clue<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R3I_Qja9q2U/UGd93nRjdKI/AAAAAAAAB0A/f-HwRn1vmiI/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R3I_Qja9q2U/UGd93nRjdKI/AAAAAAAAB0A/f-HwRn1vmiI/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

Not far away from here, but it was one of the human's friends and they decided I could visit one last stop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you didn't know, I did doll swaps. Kind of like traveling, except they were friends of the humans, and we'd meet up and swap dolls! Most of her friends didn't have cameras/didn't upload them so most of my travels go undocumented. </div>

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">November 2011. Never seen before on my blog!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p4SvcpK895w/UGC11XR_rSI/AAAAAAAABrc/fvSt25jC0kc/s1600/027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p4SvcpK895w/UGC11XR_rSI/AAAAAAAABrc/fvSt25jC0kc/s320/027.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
At the beach I go to, lots of old bulidings and farms are near. Here is one, and I'm pretty sure it's so old, it's abandoned. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MOuA7VaTHU0/UGC13evjhhI/AAAAAAAABrk/RLGiuZLJRGc/s1600/028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MOuA7VaTHU0/UGC13evjhhI/AAAAAAAABrk/RLGiuZLJRGc/s320/028.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
This is and old, old building. Yep, your eyes are working correctly, it's <span style="color: #674ea7;">purple. </span><span style="color: black;">It's called a "Painted Lady" lots of buildings like these are around. Some are green, pink, orange, yellow, even red!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q-hCJu7OmtU/UGC15NK_n0I/AAAAAAAABrs/5LvLmb-dFI8/s1600/029.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q-hCJu7OmtU/UGC15NK_n0I/AAAAAAAABrs/5LvLmb-dFI8/s320/029.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Here is a dock we went too. I stayed in the car as I really <em>didn't</em> want to take a dive in the river, as I would be ruined and float away. xD<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is always fun, it's the boating area! We like to drive around here and look at the giant boats that people keep here!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B4k_J1JFhlE/UGC17ZJ6dvI/AAAAAAAABr0/NzHivE6luNQ/s1600/032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B4k_J1JFhlE/UGC17ZJ6dvI/AAAAAAAABr0/NzHivE6luNQ/s320/032.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w7LAD0_Dlrw/UGC19IOuwmI/AAAAAAAABr8/BLCbWJB7wZc/s1600/036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w7LAD0_Dlrw/UGC19IOuwmI/AAAAAAAABr8/BLCbWJB7wZc/s320/036.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Since we came to the beach just to ride around, we didn;t go onto the actual sand. But since it was November, the snow gates were put up.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6WMwczUONws/UGC1_oi75uI/AAAAAAAABsI/KfLT13D_xTQ/s1600/041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6WMwczUONws/UGC1_oi75uI/AAAAAAAABsI/KfLT13D_xTQ/s320/041.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
These two are from the same area, it's pretty nice<br />

<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Fall is here! </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">How do I know that? Well, first the leaves are already starting to fall, the tempture is already down in the </span><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">60s which is SO cold!</span><span style="color: black;"> I love fall. It's my favorite!</span><br />
I recently moved downstairs! It's super dark, but i'm getting lighting up soonish. I got a new bed, and it's blue. I'll be sure to post photos when I get the lights up.<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">I'm also posting my old adventures!<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"> Remember from my old blog? Well, they are coming back! I decided I needed to post them. I'll be sure to add the date of the adventures, so you know when they were posted!</span></span><br />
Ok, i'm starting to post the adventures!<br />

Woohoo! My Human's birthday is in 3 days! Can you believe that? I'll hopefully get some clothes or toys or something - I usually do. :)<br />
<br />
On my Facebook page, I have been doing a daily hint for the new girl coming soon! I've been REALLY busy lately with classes starting last week, so I haven't posted a hint in about 5 days! Uh oh!<br />
I hope to get back on track soon<br />

Sorry I haven't posted in so long! Anyway, I'm excited to start posting again! My blog has been pretty vacant, sorry about that!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4EyyDluWOlw/UD1D-5_wtOI/AAAAAAAABgs/XNs_7p9opms/s1600/030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4EyyDluWOlw/UD1D-5_wtOI/AAAAAAAABgs/XNs_7p9opms/s400/030.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
When we all first arrived, we were very excited! We got all ready for the adventures we will soon have!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YWt_ntIL-e4/UD1D_gC561I/AAAAAAAABg0/OdtyQ8q6qhU/s1600/031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YWt_ntIL-e4/UD1D_gC561I/AAAAAAAABg0/OdtyQ8q6qhU/s400/031.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
So, we took a few photos upon arrival, which is always nessary.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We didn't take <b>ANY </b>photos the first day, except for those 3(2?) But the next day, my adventures started!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JBdzizWZm3I/UD1ECPSlgTI/AAAAAAAABhM/wjvli86iDpM/s1600/048.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JBdzizWZm3I/UD1ECPSlgTI/AAAAAAAABhM/wjvli86iDpM/s400/048.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
We decided to take a nice long walk outside. I couldn't wait, I knew I would be in for an awesome adventure!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LFKvkj0hTp4/UD1ECiSA7mI/AAAAAAAABhU/GeinxULZvrw/s1600/049.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LFKvkj0hTp4/UD1ECiSA7mI/AAAAAAAABhU/GeinxULZvrw/s400/049.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
When we started walking, all I saw were DUCKS! Ducks, ducks, everywhere! Nothing new though, we have been to this hotel many, many times and we always looked forward to seeing these cute little ducks. Of course, near the end of the walk, we fed them by putting a quater in a machine, and it pours out with dried corn. They normally try to attack you to get the food! That's always alittle scary, but mostly funny!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H3zqb7z7R84/UD1EDQqAaJI/AAAAAAAABhc/AyWcuxq1Zfo/s1600/050.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H3zqb7z7R84/UD1EDQqAaJI/AAAAAAAABhc/AyWcuxq1Zfo/s400/050.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
When I started posing, I knew this was going to be a long walk. I normally like them - except when I have to stop to pose for photos! It's very annoying -.-<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-87LFZCOgExk/UD1ED427yPI/AAAAAAAABhk/gaQ0PoWnaZU/s1600/051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-87LFZCOgExk/UD1ED427yPI/AAAAAAAABhk/gaQ0PoWnaZU/s400/051.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
I always felt welcome there. These signs are everywhere. If you didn't realize, the hotel is a model steamboat. It doesn't got anywhere, but it has a little moat around the entire hotel, and it has "Decks" not floors. Below are the names of the floors:<br />

They also have a small, but awesome fountain! You can see that behind me.<br />
