Thank you to all my wonderful readers!!

History Happiness

So as most of you know, I, RatalieNose have been taking American History this summer.

Having not taken it sophomore year, I forgot how much I like history.

This class has really gotten me thinking....

If you lived "back in the day" what kind of person would you have been???

Examples: My mom. She told me herself that she would've been a conductor on the underground railroad or would've hidden Jews in her attic during the holocaust.

Alyssa: Would've been one of the first players in the All American Womens Baseball League during World War Two.

Sammy: Would've been a daughter of a slave plantation owner who would sneak out to the slaves quarters to teach them to read and write, and give them money and food.

Julie: Would've been a tavern owner doing the Revolutionary War. Where the men had their secret meetings and signed important secret documents. She would have hidden them and been the perfect hostess.

Mary: This one needs a little explanation. During the Revolutionary War, there were two sisters who were on the American's side. But they had boyfriends who were Red Coats. So they would go into the British camp to see their boys, pick up information, and take it back to the Americans. Awesome right?? SO Mary!!!

Me: I would've been an outspoken writer who used a man's name and got published, speaking out against slavery and such and speaking for women's rights!

You can learn alot about a person from this question.

It's really brought history to life for me.

What about you?

What's your place in history?

Ratalie's Dictionary: Part Three

Sorry I've been a slacker lately, I just haven't been up to posting this week.

But I shall redeem myself by finishing up the dictionary today!

Here we go.

First up, we have my beautiful sister Emily!!

Question: How is summer school?

Answer: Summer school is not as bad as I thought it would be. I mean, I don't LOVE it, but I don't hate it either. My teacher is pretty awesome so that helps. And I'm really enjoying learning about the history of this beautiful country I live in.

Emily's Word: Unstoppable

Example: Emily is like a force of nature. Once she gets started, you can't stop her. From little things like cleaning a house in twenty minutes to big things like planning a wedding in two and a half months, Emily will not stop till it gets done and done right.

Ann Marie!!!!!

Question One: What color is your bedroom?

Answer One: Pink and Yellow!!!! My old favorite color and my new favorite color!

Question Two: What are you looking forward to most this summer?

Answer Two: The STARTALK Program. In July I'll be staying at ASU for two weeks learning the Chinese language and about the culture! I went to the orientation on Friday and I think it's going to be fabulous!!!

Ann's Word: Thoughtful

Example: Ann is always quick with a kind word or a helpful thought. She looks for the good in life and is a joy to all who know her.

Holly Janeen

(Btw, I didn't know you went private. I want in!!)

Question: What is your favorite chick flick film?

Answer: Ah man!! That is SO hard!! There are SO many!! I may have to give you a list...(in no particular order)

1. Ever After

2. You've Got Mail

3. Just Like Heaven

4. The Prince and Me

5. One Fine Day

6. While You Were Sleeping

And many many more!!!

Holly's word: Talented!

Example: Her beautiful voice, her amazing piano skills and the fact that she can teach others these things! That is talent!

My amazing sister Bekah!!

Question: Would you keep a happy thought journal if I made you one?

Answer: YES!!!! I'd love that!!!!!!

Bekah's Word: Inspirational

Example: After a long or short talk with Bekah, I always have a renewed desire to do better. I look at where she is in her life and think "That's exactly where I want to be."

Lauren

Lauren's Word: Fabulous!

Example: Everything about her! Her clothes, her hair, her talents, her quirks! She embodies the word!! The other day I was thinking about her and I decided that she is what I'd call a "Blogging Celebrity," were there such thing.

Darling Addison!

Addison's word: Brave

Example: Her entire life but especially the post she posted on May Eighth that I can't get a link to.

And last but not least.

My dear sister Kimberly!

Kim's Word: Stalwart

Example: Through everything, Kim has stood by her friends, family and beliefs. Nothing will ever change that. I'm so blessed to have her in my life!!!

You Know the Drill

For all you DEPRIVED souls, a Pizookie is a chocolate chip cookie with ice cream on top.

You take the cookie right out of the oven when its still a little gooey and throw on some vanilla ice cream and Wallah!

Dessert Happiness!!!!!

Friends, it is that time again.

Other bloggers have come to call them

"Comment Giveaways"

I suppose that'll suffice.

So hup too, you know the drill.

Comment on this post, and if you'd like, ask a question, ANY QUESTION, and in a couple days...

You'll be glad you did!

Quirky Analysis Part 3

From My3Daws:

What do you do when your dad won't let you do something you want to do? Seriously, don't leave out any details! :) Kicking and screaming would be quite funny.

A: Honestly, I had to think long and hard about this one.

It took me forever to remember the last time my dad

(affectionately known as Harold or JerBear)

wouldn't let me do something.

Not that I always get my way.

Because I don't.

But A.

I don't usually ask for unreasonable things.

And B.

I almost always ask my mom.

The last time I can remember getting upset with my dad because of a rule was eighth grade.

He had just instated the

"No hanging out with boys rule"

This was a HUGE bummer because that's what ALL of my friends were doing!

They'd all be somewhere and I couldn't go becuase there were boys!!

Now I wish I had a better story to tell you, but to be honest.

I just cried.

There is no kicking and screaming when it comes to JerBear.

That's the way its always been, you don't throw fits in front of him.

I don't think any of us have,

I doubt anyone ever will.

(But that didn't stop me from calling him names under my breath once I was out of hearing distance.)

These next few questions are all from Molly:

What is your favorite color?

Answer: YeLlOw

What is your favorite animal?

A: I can't stand housepet animals.

So probably monkeys.

What is your favorite dessert?

A: CHOCOLATE ANYTHING!!!!

But I especially adore Pazookies!!!!!!!!

If you could do one wildly rebellious thing, what would it be?

Answer: And not get caught?

Burn down an abandoned building.

From Ann Marie:

What was one of your happiest moments in the last 2 months??

A: Definently the birth of Sweet Madeleine!

From RatalieNose:

What's your biggest fear?

Well, my one and only fear is this:

Boys.

Getting close to them,

Getting hurt by them,

And living without them.

Stupid, Immature and Juvenile.

But it's the truth.

So you tell me,

What's your greatest fear?

The person with the best fear will get......

Well, you'll see.

Extraordinary Part 5 of 5 and Quirky Analysis Part 2

First lets talk about why RatalieNose is feeling Extraordinary today!

A. It's SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

B. I just found out that I made next year's Honor Choir.

(That's the top choir at my school.)

C. I get to go to my friend's cabin for her Sweet 16 over the break!!

A bunch of girls out in the middle of nowhere

=

AMAZINGNESS!!!!

On a more somber note:

Camille is getting her wisdom teeth out right now.

Keep her in your prayers and swing by her site to participate in something that I'm sure will be a crackup!

Geneva!!!!

From

Hazardous Undertakings

1. Geneva is sooo nice!!! After I told you all about my HORRIBLE day, Geneva commented on offered to TUTOR me in Chemistry and Algebra 2, FOR FREE!

What a Peach!!!!

2. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Geneva is BRAVE!!!!

K, the title of her blog is not just a title!

She UNDERTAKES HAZARDOUS THINGS!!!!

Like teaching science to teenagers!!!!

AHHHH!

I shudder at the thought!!!!!

3. Geneva knows where it's at,

After I wrote a somewhat ornery post she commented:

"That's why we write blogs. So we can do whatever we want. And if you have movie star awesome pictures of yourself, by all means, keep posting them."

I love when people agree with me!!!

4. Geneva likes absurdity!

She said so herself.

Twinsies!

5. Geneva has FANTASTIC hair!!!!!!!!

Bekah

1. Bekah always has something uplifting to tell me.

Any problem or issue I tell her, she's got something to help me out!

It's amazing!

2. She GAVE HER CHILD MY MIDDLE NAME!!!

So yeah, Rose sounded amazing with the first name she picked out...but for my egotistical purposes I'm going to think it was because of me!!!

3. There isn't ANYTHING that Bekah can't do!!!

If it's a skill she hasn't learned yet, rest assured, she WILL learn it!!!

4. Bekah is an EXTRAORDINARY musician!

Anyone who has heard her sing or play the piano knows how true this is!

5. Bekah is an AMAZING mother!

Her children are so blessed!!!!!

And Last, but DEFINENTLY not Least.

No one other than

The NancyFace.

Heck yes.

1. Nancy is SO RANDOM!

IT KILLS ME!!!!

2. She knows how to tell a good (read: HILARIOUS) Story!

3. Nancy is very talented, whatever she does, whether it's leading the music in primary or running a mile in 10 minutes, she always tries her best.

4. NancyFace would do ABSOLOUTELY ANYTHING for her kids! It's obvious.

5. NancysNonsenseofNothingness makes me HAPPY!

Now for some questions:

From the NancyFace:

What was your absolute FAVORITE class you've had in school so far, and why?

A: Hmmm that's a hard one, probably a tie between Cantible (advanced girls choir) my Seventh grade year, and Coed PE my Freshman year.

What was your absolute WORST class so far, and why?

A: Another hard one, as far as subjects go, CP Chemistry hands down.

But as far as everything else goes....

Mrs. Toner's English class.

Eighth Grade.

But then again,

My eighth entire eighth grade year was probably the worst year of my life.

So go figure.

Q&A: Quirky Analysis

So we're going to take a break from the Extraordinary today in order to answer your questions.

From Lauren:

What hair product do you use?

A: Like shampoo?

Whatever's in the shower.

Hairspray? I rarely use it, but when I do, I just use whatevers lying around the house.

And that's about it...

I usually go for a natural look...

Ha!
Who am I kidding I'm just waaaay too lazy!!!

From Camille:

What's Shirt Boy's name?

A: I know you were kidding but I will give you a hint: You've been in his bedroom before.

(Don't go all crazy on Camille, she was in there filming for a girls camp video!)

Also from Camille:

What do you want to be when you grow up?

A: A 3rd Grade Teacher, preferebly at my old Elementary school, team teaching with my 3rd grade teacher!

Camille Again:

If you could travel anywhere in the world this summer, where would you go?

A: Crazy.

Oh wait I'm already there!

Yar gar gar.

I'd travel the rest of Europe and go visit my sister in North Carolina and visit my best friend who's moving to Texas.

From the Amazing Cherie:

What's your most embarassing moment?

A: Oh my there are FAR too many to choose from! I'm basically the biggest clutz on this side of Texas

(aside from NancyFace of course! Love her!)

Hmmm I'll just share one that Shirt Boy and I were discussing today.

Last year, several of the boys from my school were driving home from playing basketball around 6:30 am. I was out walking my neighbors dog. I had just woken up two seconds ago. It was cold, I was tired and had no shoes on. So I'm walking with my eyes shut, all bundled up with my hood on and looking like a hobo and the boys drive by LAUGHING AT ME. Later I walk into A hour and they all start bustin' up!

Ridiculous!

From Shelby Lou:

How many boys have you kissed?

A: Two. One kissed me for $30.

The other kissed me becuase he wanted a New Years kiss.

*A little sad note about the second one, when he tried to kiss me, I started hyperventilating. Nothing scares me more than boys!*

From Ann Marie:

Did you steal the shirt from Shirt Boy?

A: Sadly enough, I did not. He really wanted it back. So I washed it, and rode my bike to his house to return it. Thankfully, he or his parents did not answer the door.

From Holly Janeen:

Did you come up with the name RatalieNose

all by yourself?

A: I wish I could say that I'm that clever, but if I'm being honest (which I always am, Lieing is MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE) my big sister Bekah created my wonderful nickname!

Well that was quite fun!

Keep the preguntas coming!

We'll be exploring more of the extraordinary tomorrow so stay tuned!
