So, I'm a Dog

I have a little brother. I don't talk about him a lot on here, but he's four and very cute (and loud) and has just started talking in sentences. There isn't anything wrong with him. He's just a smart butt who doesn't like doing something if everyone wants him to.

He is currently making a small Easter basket tied to yarn bang against my side. He thinks it's funny which I totally disagree with but whatever. :D

Anyways, we were playing outside today in the sandbox and I was getting tired of it because I'd been out there for a while and I wanted to go inside. Perfectly reasonable.

I tell this to him.

LITTLE BRO: No.

ME: Pleaaaase. Please??

LITTLE BRO: No. (He's very strict.)

ME:*pouts*

LITTLE BRO: *stands up* Catch, Jiejie (Chinese for older sister). *throws ginormous baseball at me*

ME: Um. Okay. *gets baseball and throws it back* (By this time he's playing with his toys in the sandbox again.)

LITTLE BRO: *looks up briefly* Catch, Jiejie. *throws baseball* *immediately goes back to playing with his tractor*

ME: Wow. So I'm a dog now.

I was just standing there thinking that that little butt actually thought that I would stay outside longer if he threw the ball for me to catch. He was like "Go catch the ball, peasant. You like that kind of stuff don't you?" Nah, actually he was pretty sweet about it. He even came in after I begged him to.

We have a good relationship like that.

All it takes is one step to get something started. Everything that's big now started with something small.
You can do anything that you're determined to do, if you take that small step.

    Oh my gosh, your brother is ADORABLE. And...yes, I know how that feels. My nephew is 3 and does similar things with me. It's totally like that, "oh here I'll do something you like so you'll be happy. Have this half eaten biscuit of mine BUT DON'T EAT IT I MIGHT WANT IT LATER". Gah. My favourite time was when he was playing with toys and saw I was on my iPod. So he put the toys in my lap and took my iPod. Fair trade, right?

      Oh, yeah. Definitely a fair trade. XD I laughed so hard when I read the conversations between you and Xavier on Facebook. Such demanding little squirts they are.
      My brother also does this thing where if he's eating something he thinks I like, he'll make sure to slurp or chew extremely loud. He'll look over and be like, "You see what I get and you don't? And I'm not giving any to you. Oops WAIT, here's this crumb you can have."
      Your nephew is so cute too!

Waiting on Wednesday {2}

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where you talk about books that you can't wait to read, but that are, unfortunately, not published yet.   In a Handful of Dust by Mindy McGinnis Publication date: September 23, 2014 Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Lucy’s life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy’s childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy’s future is settled already—a house, a man, children, and a water source—and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what’s killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn’s mind, and the prospect of a “normal” life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epi

Book Haul + My First Guest Post (!)

Guys, guys, guys, guys. I did my very first guest post at Tansie Gray's blog Totally Tansie  and it was awesome collaborating with her! Tansie's blog is full of hilarious book reviews, rants, and writing tips. I had a great time writing the post: "10 Ways to Make Your Sister Mad"  I'd love it if you could pop over to Totally Tansie and check it out (And maybe leave a comment. Hint, hint). [][][][][][][][] I also went to my favorite used-books store last Sunday. I didn't get as many books as usual...Not many YA novels *gasp*. I felt unfulfilled. But I didn't want to spend what the books cost, so I snatched a few middle-grade types.  1. Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep by Gail Carson Levine A short fairytale re-telling of Sleeping Beauty in a funny, simple way. It's very  short. 107 pages short. 2.   The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan Book 2 of the Percy Jackson series! Now I can finally read it and see how it measures up to th

Airplanes and Sky

Remember when I talked about big travel things that I was going to do this summer? THE TIME. HAS. COME. IT IS HERE. YAY. As you can probably tell, I'm just a little excited. Me and my family are headed to Taiwan this summer for my uncle's wedding and since plane trips aren't really a regular thing for us, it'll be awesome.  If you know me even a little bit, you know that I love  traveling and gosh I'm just so excited to be able to be in and see another culture for a little while. *happy dance* Another reason I'm writing this is to tell you about how I get ready for major trips and whatever little tips I use to make traveling easier. Maybe they'll help you in a future trip. ^^ Any trip needs music, but especially one where there are multiple long layovers and a hugely long flight over the Pacific Ocean. I've been updating the music on my phone (music helps me sleep so much better too), which is fun and boring at the sa
