It's beginning to look a lot like christmas

Actually, it isn't. With only a week to go,  still don't feel like it's the Christmas season. All of our decorations are out, our tree is up, I have presents for (almost) everyone....why do I feel like this? The answer is simple. We don't have any snow. We will have a GREEN Christmas. Considering the fact that I was born in a town where we had many snow days, this is a major disappointment. You'd think that Rochester, where I live now, would have a lot of lake effect snow. But no, we don't. Okay, we had a sprinkling a week ago, but that melted before I got home from school. Snow defines Christmas for me, and the fact we don't have any just makes me sad. I would never last in Hawai'i.

Won't anyone buy some?

Last night, my friend Meaghan and I sold Girl Scout cookies at a booth sale outside the Hess station down in Bushenell's Basin. It was freezing cold, but we kept warm by doing squats and jumping jacks. We were there for 3 whole hours, but very few people bought cookies. Most of the time, they would just look at us and continue walking, and not say anything. They were really rude. I mean, why  couldn't they just say "no thanks"? To pass the time, I made up a song to get people to buy from us. You can hear it here. It is a parody of "Who will buy" from the musical Oliver!. I love that musical. So good, and the movie is awesome. I tried to read the book, but I got 3/4 of the way done and couldn't finish it; it was so difficult to read. Anyways, if you see a girl scout trying to sell cookies, buy them!
