Cloe took this of us goofing around. Sasha and Jade are trying to jump to "supermodel" size :)

Well the weekend was interesting to say the least! No I am not un-confused at all. I had everyone over here and had to clean up before they came. yuck. The sun came out for liek a second then disappeared. But Cloe always sits cross legged on the floor or throws a pillow down and lays on it so I had to vacuum and all that. Monday was really the "big day" everybody in the same place at the same time. Our families had stuff going on all weekend so this was nice to be just us. And I got stuck cooking. It was okay, I made pizza from scratch. Dylan pretended to help. He talked the whole time and handed me stuff but never actually got his hands IN anything. Sooo he acted like he had done all this work and put flour on his nose "to prove effort" and even put on a silly apron for a second until Sasha walked in and started laughing. It was funny.

This is my mom's recipe for the dough, she was shocked that I actually did it! It did come out tasting good!

Basic Pizza Dough 2 (1/4 oz.) packages active dry yeast 1/8 t. sugar 1 1/4 C. warm water (110 to 115°F.), divided 1/4 C. olive oil 3 1/2 C. flour 1 t. salt Dissolve the yeast with the sugar in 1/2 cup of the water and set aside until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining 3/4 cup warm water, the olive oil and yeast mixture. Stir in the flour, 1 cup at a time, and salt mixing until the dough begins to come together in a ball. Spoon the dough onto a floured board and knead it until it's smooth, elastic and no longer sticky, about 5 minutes. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and set it aside in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour. It is then ready to use. This makes enough dough for 2 pizzas. I put cheese and stuff on it.

Yasmin had all kinds of plans for making stuff too. Seems everybody else had some kind of craft thing to make. It was actually nice because it was raining and stormy out so we were stuck inside anyway. She got the idea from a book. Sure she'd plan this because she's great at art. Once she told me she painted her little sister's room. I think its like just the wall or something no -its all these decorations on everything. I couldn't believe it. She once stitched this pillow for me- really great. She has a part of her laundry room at home set up for craft stuff. Its so small you'd never think she'd do all this from there.

So she has all these plans and everybody actually does them. Sasha brought a craft thing too and so did Cloe. Jade made a Fruit Punch and brought empty bottles.

For some reason all the guys got off claiming being "dum guys" and just got to sit around. I had an idea too but it was silly looking maybe compared to everyone else's. Eitan wasn't there, he called at one point and talked to Cam.. yeah Cameron was here. Dana had to leave early because her parents were having something for family.

They all come in and had bags and bags of beads too. I have no idea where Yasmin got them. Cloe and Yasmin had everybody glueing stuff to stuff. Yas had teacups and Cloe had wooden frame stuff. I messed my frame up- Cloes came out really nice. Yasmin had candles cut to fit in her cups- she goes so overboard sometimes but thats the "Artist" in her. Jade made a glass.

My cup came out okay I think.

This is how you make them: (oh yeah you can't use the cups really they are just decoration once they are done) :(

"You need: Hot glue gun and glue sticks. Tweezers 1. Make sure the teacup is clean before beginning. 2. Use the hot glue and glue all of the buttons and beads onto the surface of the teacup. *here are some more glue gun tips and ideas* You can just do the top half or the whole cup if desired. 3. Continue to glue buttons and beads to the saucer as well. 4. Use the tweezers to help you place the beads and buttons on the cup. This will prevent you from getting burned, and will make it much easier."

Sasha's was painting bottles- I didn't try it I just watched. She printed out a color picture and stuck it inside the bottle and then painted with acrylic paint over it following the picture. It came out pretty good. She taped a piece of yarn to the picture to be able to pull it out again.

Mine? It was drawing with gel pens on notebook covers. Well I think mine came out nice.

Yeah so its not all complex but I thought it looked nice. Everybody liked my pizza.

Cameron was very nice but he's always quieter acting when people are all yelling and laughing. Dylan was really nice and friendly and it was not any different than he usually is but now I was feeling all weird when he'd acts really friendly because I didn't want Cam to see and think we were "together" but then I don't even know if Cameron cares- and now Dylan thinks I was acting all "weird" and I'm like "I'm not acting weird." Then I see Cloe all over Cameron, well not really, but at one point she was kind of leaning on him- I mean everybody was talking to him about his guitars- but this was later and they were sitting alone. I mean I was feeling jealous! And I don't even know what to do about it. So I just got through it all and then everybody helped clean up and left. It was fun but now here I am all weirded out and Dylan is all weird to me now. I am sure that will pass but I still don't know what I want to do- or if I should do anything at all. Have to think about it for a long time.

Over and out for now.
