Everyone ignored me for the whole week and when I woke up, no one mentioned anything so I thought they forgot about my birthday. Then I walked into the house and there were decorations all over the place. My family jumped out from behind the furniture and yelled “Surprise!” I was so happy that they didn’t forget! I got a ton of presents, but my favorite part was that my parents decided to take me to the local museum that day. I always loved going to museums as a kid. We spent the whole day there, and before we left we bought some freeze-dried ice cream. It was an awesome day.

I love the thrill of idly surfing the Internet, coming across a band I’ve never heard before, listening to their music and falling in love with it. I’ve been an active music fan for the past three or four years. Before that, I never got past mainstream radio. Some of my favorite bands and artists are The Bird and The Bee, Inara George, Alicia Keys, Kylie Minogue, The Dresden Dolls, and Dargaard. I’m still a huge pop music fan, but I also love rap and a few other genres of music. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on albums.

I used a recipe handed down to me from my grandmother that calls for several different spices and seasonings. As a side, I cooked some white rice and mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, green beans, etc.). I put everything on a plate and poured a sauce over it, it was delicious. I drank a bottle of water with the meal because I’m trying to cut down on my soda intake, for health reasons. Everyone complimented me on my cooking skills. I think it went well, but I’ll have to remember not to use so much salt next time.

I feel that it is terrible that we, as a society, have to go through a recession even in this day and age (one would think we’d have gotten past that, but I suppose not), but I also feel that it is something that we just have to learn to adapt to. It is no use spending all your time complaining and being bitter about it, that only makes things worse for you and your family, and certainly does nothing to help. On the other hand, I feel it’s wrong to pretend that there’s nothing wrong. I hope it gets resolved sooner rather than later.
