Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Hello! Just doing a little catch-up post:

Okay, first, reminding you about Anna's and mine new blog, Cherry Banana Split, which reviews Australian books. I still haven't put up a review, but I promise I will after school.

And...oh, I have tasted tacos for the first time ever yesterday, and, yeah, they were nice.

Our class is also doing a school newspaper! Right now we're figuring out who'll do which job, and I really want to be editor, interviewer or book reviewing person. Fingers crossed!

Last but most definitely not least - Sara, from Dragonfly Book Reviews, is having a challenge to celebrate her blog being 1 year old! Wooop!

Rules and stuff are here.

The books you're meant to read are here.

Have lots and lots of fun! You might even win a special prize! I'll try to take part, but I am very busy so I can't promise anything!


Cherry blossom wishes,

ChickLitChicks!

I finally uploaded a video of myself on to ChickLitChicks! Yay! I tried like, a HEAP of times to upload the video here but for some strange reason my computer just starts humming really, really loud like it's angry or something and then just gives up and quietly shuts down. So instead, just click here.
Don't watch it if you want to just think of me as a secret, mysterious blogger gal. My hair looks all weird and voice sounds REALLY strange anyhow.

So anyway my friend lent me all these really good books to read on the holidays, but I'm already halfway through them. She gave me 'Stirring it Up', 'Lucky Star', 'Sunny Side Up' and 'Blue Gene Baby'. I've read 'Lucky Star' and 'Sunny Side Up' before, but I just felt like reading them again and 'Blue Gene Baby' is the second book in the Silk Sisters series, and unfortunately I haven't read the first book yet which might make things a bit complicated. . .

Speaking of books Anna (from Anna Banana) and I might have our Aussie book blog up soon! We have no idea what to call it though. Any ideas?

Snacks And Netball

So.....you are probably wandering how my netball match on Sunday went. It was SOOOOOOOO much fun!!! I was bench for the first quarter, but for the other three quarters I played Wing Attack, which is my absolute FAVOURITE position!!! No, we didn't win but who cares!!! Sorry, if you don't play netball this must sound very confusing to you, but netball is a VERY fun game. It keeps you active.
Every Thursday, all the under 13s netballers walk from school to the netball courts, stopping at the corner shop to buy chips. Then the training begins. Training is....well, it gets you tired. Unless of coarse on the way to training you also stop to by eight Sour Strips, which gives you enough sugar-energy.

Speaking of sugary snacks, yesterday I was bored so I decided to make up a new snack (I'm good at stuff like that-ask my friends). So anyway, you get chocolate Tiny Teddies (I'm not sure if any other country but Australia has them- they're tiny tiny tiny cookies in the shape of bears) and you sandwich them together with chocolate spread (Nutella) inside. Just remember that this is very sugary, sometimes food. These taste really nice with a glass of milk.

Also 'Angel Cake' by Cathy Cassidy has come out in bookshops in Australia!!!YAY!!!! It sounds REALLY good and I desperately want to read it!!! I have to wait 'till Friday to get it, because where I live you have to drive for an hour to get to a bookshop.
