Beautiful Blogger Award!

Yay! My second blog award ever!


I am so happy about getting this award! EEK!

Alright, let's get down to business.

1. Thank the person who nominated you and give the link.
Thank you a bunch Turtle friend! This award means a lot to me!


2. Tell us how the idea of making a blog popped up and why you continue it.
Hmm. Hard question... Well, my friend Amelia had a blog for a couple years and I had just learned about it. So I decided to create a blog of my own. The hard part was deciding what was my blog going to be about and what the name would be. After what seemed like a long time, it came to me all at once. On the back of our car there is a sticker that says, "Warning: Unsocialized Homeschoolers Aboard" with a stick person and something blowing up (just like a hazardous materials warning sticker)! I posted about it here. The blog is about my life as an "unsocialized" (lol) homeschooler.
I keep it up because I think that my readers would be disappointed if I stopped blogging. I know that I would be sad if Turtle stopped blogging. Or any other blog that I read! 

3. Describe a usual day of your life.
This is a summer day: I sleep in until about 8:30 or 9:00 (embarrassed face!). Yeah. I love to sleep. Then I get up and have breakfast. Sometimes I go online before breakfast. Then I'll take a shower (it depends on what I'm doing that day) and get dressed. Then I do math. I would probably go outside and hang out with friends and maybe go to someone's pool. We usually go to library programs a couple of times a week. Then I come home and have lunch or dinner. After dinner if I didn't take a shower in the morning I take one then. And I go online countless times during the day. I'm going to camp in a few days, and my days will change!

4. The best collaboration with a blogger?
I haven't had any yet. Well, I'm writing a guest post for Turtle, and I think it's going well. =)

5. Worst collaboration with a blogger?
Don't have one. (same as Piper/Turtle)

6. Explain what having this blog means to you.
Um... This award has hard questions! It means a lot to me because it helps me keep in touch with people.  For example, my uncle whom, I don't know really well IRL as he lives across the country, reads it and I hope it helps us to know each other better. And my followers -- I love you guys! Thanks so much for supporting me and keeping me going. I love that I've connected with people whom I'd otherwise never have had a chance to meet - and I love staying connected to friends I do see IRL. Plus I love technology, and by blogging it has helped me to learn more things about the computer and Internet.

7. Nominate five bloggers for this award.
Alright!! Let's go!

I nominate....

Grace at Amazing Grace
Emma Margaret at Beautifuly Me
Kathryn at Chatty Kathy

Thanks a ton, Turtle!

Shopping!

Yesterday my grandmother and I went shopping at the mall. Our first stop was Sephora, where I got Wonderstruck, the perfume from Taylor Swift. I got the little roll on kind because the regular size is $50!!! Then we looked at the Apple Store, and I was a little depressed because everything is so high-tech and expensive! After that we went to California Pizza Kitchen, I had a delish personal pizza and I ate all of it! We went to Aeropostale after lunch. I was really excited because it was my first time and there was a big sale going on. I got a lot of stuff and I was really happy!
