Poor Little Kitty

So my cat has diabetes. Shadow has been acting a little sick so we took him into the doctor and he had sky high sugar. I now have to get him insulin everyday, which will not be easy.
Everyone was hoping it would be the other cat because they dont like her. So now they are all sad its the nice kitty.

Never Say Never

Blog, let me say that I have missed you so much. This past week has been so hectic that I have barely been home, let alone at my laptop. I have experienced many things this past week and like a half or something.
In my last post I mentioned how it was the blizzard of twenty-eleven. Well that wonderful blizzard had brought me not one, not two, but three snow days! Thank you, unploughed side walks of CP. In my school corporation we never get delays or days off. So every child in my town was super excited that we had a two and half day week.
My snow days consisted of the usual movie watching for me. I played card and board games with my brother and Allison. One day I had baked cookies with Dori and watched my brother and his friends as they wrestled, which I yelled about, and spill milk for the cookies, which I yelled about. Over all it was a wonderful, much needed second winter break.
During this week cheerleading was super hectic. We were in intense training for our up coming competition. Some girls took practice seriously, others did not. I love cheer competition and game but hard every single part of practice. Plus I have been having serious shoulder pains and they do not help.
I also then had an issues with our Saturday morning practices. This Saturday I had practice and ISSMA Solo and Ensemble at the same time! Now I know your thinking, well Madi what ever did you do? I calmly told my coach... she probably still was very angry. Then went to half of practice then to ISSMA.
For those who do not know, ISSMA is a singing, well they have it for instruments too, contest. Really you aren't versing anyone but yourself. You go into a room and perform a song of a judge, who then gives you a score. You can either get gold, silver, bronze, or participation. I went in all ready, and my dad had his iPhone ready to record. Only I was just a tad nervous at the beginning, but I got it at the end when I had the high notes. Guess what! I got a gold!!! When I later got my score sheet I discovered I was only 1.5 points away from a perfect score. I'll take it!
My father then later took me to Panera Bread for lunch to celebrate.
Sunday came and it was cheer competition time. We got on the bus at 6 for a hour and a half bus ride to New Prairie. Why we payed all that money and drive out there when we weren't competing against anyone? I'm not sure.
I was proud of myself, however, that I landed my backhand spring.Our Varsity and my team took home first. Jv also then won almost everything else we entered. Kara did great in the tumble off, and Taylor won the jump off. They also had a stunt off there. We had to do a number of stunts, then that last one between six teams was who could hold the girl over there heads longest. We were holding on for dear life with all of the CP cheerleaders surrounding us screaming that there was only one team left and they were shaking. Finally after what felt like a decade, we had won. The thing that sucks is that we didn't get anything for killing our selfs.
Other things had happened at that cheerleading competition that I literally am not allowed to say, but I will tell my children someday.
The rest of the week was just the usual, with homework and such. Only today was amazing.
I had decided to wreck my whole social career. Today, Justin Bieber's Never Say Never came out and I had decided to wear everything JB I owned to school. This consisted of four bracelets, a necklace, watch, hair bow, shirt, and I even had tattoos.
Now this was like committing social suicide. Not only would this cause half of my friends not to talk to me, but I would be shunned forever. That would then cause my never to be VP again and I would be very upset.
Some people had told me I should feel ashamed. Others called me a true fan and liked it. Then some simply didn't care I had dresses like a Justin Bieber dork.
Kierstyn and I went to movie an hour early. All I can say was it was epic. I knew it would be amazing but it was ten times better than amazing. My advice is to go watch it. Even if you don't like him, you probably will like this movie. It was incredible.
I now need some sleep for another cheer competition this weekend and seeing Never Say Never again.
Love,
Madi Bieber (just kidding its McGuckin)

The Blizzard of 2011

No, I did not have a snow day today. Only I will tomorrow because they already cancelled school! We also got out of school an hour early today. Was that not exciting?
My family had already prepared for the great blizzard coming. We had embarked on a journey to Chi-Town just to go to the world best grocery store, Whole Foods! If you have never been to one... go! They are fantastic. They are like a restaurant that you can buy everyday needs in also. It is wonderful. I am actually excited to go to the grocery store when we go there.
 We got guacamole, beef jerky, and clementines. It was a good trip. I also got to spend the day with my mother, father, brother, Kierstyn, and G-Ma. Then we also rented 4 movies, and then today as my father came home he bought 5 movies. We plan on having a movie marathon tomorrow.
Upon coming home early today, I have been extremely hyper. I watched an 80's movie while yelling at the television during various parts. I changed my make-up and did an 80's work out video of my parents and grandmother. Then played kinect and made faces at the censor. I then ate ice cream and did homework.
Tomorrow I plan to write a paper, attempt snowboarding, and watch movies. I am so pumped!
Now I will enjoy listening to Free to Be Me by Francesca Battistelli, eat strawberry pez, and load up my lips with strawberry chapstick. Its a good night :)
Love, Madi
