     If I was still doing categories on my blog this one would go down with the cvs fiasco about a year ago. In fact the cvs fiasco occured on March 9th. Must be something with that date....Anywhoo (I just said that to annoy sista. Haha.) you can get to the cvs blog by clicking this link. http://www.johnmikel.com/1/archives/03-2009/2.html and scrolling down to March 9th, 2009.

Ok, here is where the fiasco that happened today started.....
Me and dad were going to the post office to mail some packages. I was riding my scooter and dad was walking. Already a big mistake after we knew we were getting food for everyone. Haha. There is a Subway (the restaurant) and a Dunkin' Donuts combined down in the shopping center. So dad went to Subway while I went to DD. My friend Montu was working there. I go there all the time so I know everyone's name. :) I got to the register and I said I need one medi- and Montu said "Medium Iced Coffee?!" So I said "Yeah." And he was walking off to make one and he asked me a question. I don't know if he said "Cream and Sugar?!" or "Grill Cheese?!" (Because I always get a grilled cheese, too.) So after trying to think of what he said I said yes. Lol. So immediately I don't know what I even ordered. So he later came and sat down an overflowing iced coffee. OVERFLOWING. So I brought it over to a counter where all the straws, napkins, and that stuff was. So I wiped and dried it up as much as I could. But I sloshed it all over the counter and down the sides and on the floor. You know how when you are in a place with background noise and you hear voices and music, but there is always one voice that just goes louder than all other voices, or maybe just a little baby screaming? Yes, well I heard a woman behind me say in spanish "Messa, Messa." Whatever that means. Haha. I will look it up later. So remember I had my scooter, I rolled it beside me over to subway and told dad I got my food. I sloshed my iced coffee all over their floor. So dad got napkins and wiped it up off the floor and told me to drink the iced coffee down some. Our joke is now I guess I forgot I had a straw because I tilted it back like I was about to drink it and spilled it on me. Hahaha. So, I rolled my scooter through the puddle I made on the floor when it spilled over on me. And proceeded to roll it across the restaurant. It then left a path across the whole place. Once I got to the 'clean up counter' I wiped it off me. And noticed I left a trail. Dad said that he could trail where I went. So I looked across the restaraunt, and dad is bent down on the floor with napkins sliding them down the trail. So when he gets to the counter he looks at the mess I left. You know, the coffee, spilling down the counter. So he says "Have you been over here?" I said "Yes." and he says "I can tell" Hahaha. So he cleans that up, runs over to pick up the Subway sandwiches and we left. So joking about it the whole way back, we have to go in another restaurant. Ahhh! So, we rolled into Cosi and dad got a sandwich and put it into the Subway back and we left. And we went back to the hotel. We had lots of stories to tell. Funny stories. It will go down in history. It will be one of those special, inside joke, life story things. :) Dad said next time he will just bring a mop. Lol.

Oh, and yesterday we were going to the post office and a lady stopped me and dad in her car, she was talking half in spanish and she said "Where is the coffee convention?" Because there is a convention center next to our hotel. I was standing a few feet from her car and I thought she said "Coffee Shop?" And there is also a starbucks next to our hotel. So I ran to her car, and screamed "Starbucks?!" After I realized what she was talking about I walked off dying laughing. 

Well, that is all that has happened today so far. Dad and Taylor just walked out the door to go to an audition.

We will be leaving maybe this weekend or next week. I'm so homesick! I miss you all so much!

P.S.- New poll added.

     There has been more snow storms since my last blog. And it has been plowed into giant piles. It is so cool. I've always wanted to climb the piles. And I did! Here are some pictures!

I tried to add a video of valentine, but it won't let me. So, she is doing really good right now.

Our original plan was to go home this weekend, but we have to stay for a few more weeks because Taylor got a callback from Disney. Which is huge! I'll let you all know if she gets anymore callbacks/auditions.

Ugh. I just wrote a blog and *poof* It was deleted. All I said was it is pilot season and lotsa movies and sitcoms being casted!

I added a new page. Just scroll up!

Thats all I said..... I think.

P.S. To wii fit owners: If you go to the one player mode screen that has the options: Yoga, Balance games, etc. Click on the wii fit board working out in the back. It unlocks two new games. The scale challenge is fun!

    Hey guys! Lately Taylor has gone on lots of auditions. Lots of big ones. Like sitcoms, movies, nyc plays, and commercial voiceovers. I'll keep you posted on the callbacks. My blog is now one year old! Yay! If you scroll down you will see the countdown is at zero. Besides the auditions we haven't done much. Valentine is doing really good, she has only got out in the room about five times. Lol. (I didn't send out an email to some of my friends about my last blog, so if you don't know who Valentine is, go to my last blog).

I'll start writing more soon. I just wanted to say I'm still here.

My Aunt Donna's Birthday is today. Happy Birthday! My mom's birthday is tomorrow! Happy Birthday, Momma!

   I have always wanted a hampster, gerbil, mouse, guinea pig, or really anything little. And today me and dad went out to get mom and Sista a Valentine gift. So after we got their gifts and brought them to the car, we went to the pet store, we looked at puppies, kittens, and the little sweet little angels. And we kept going back to a Albino, Female Gerbil. She was so cute. We picked him out and Dad got him for me. I named her Valentine. Since it was Valentines Day. I bought her a small cage, bedding, a wheel, jungle gym, food and a playground. She has a nice place. I'll add pictures soon. She is really hyper and runs on her wheel and rolls in her ball a lot. She is a non nocturnal animal so she is up during the day unlike all the other animals I listed earlier. She is so cute. The pet store said Gerbil's are cleaner because they don't poop or pee as much. Ha. Taylor just gave me, mom, and dad our homemade gifts. Thats all I have to say. Writing this blog fast so I can get it sent in before midnight. I need it to be posted on v-day!

I love my family. Thanks Tate for the gift. It's really pretty. I liked it the most, I'm glad you had that one picked out for me. And thanks Daddy for giving me Valentine. I really love her. And mom.... Thanks for.... Well, just enjoy your snicker bar valentine gift.

Hope you had the best v-day ever!

If you go to this link you will see a pic of a gerbil that looks a lot like Valentine. http://resources.schoolscience.co.uk/ABPI/new/resources/skin/en-images/albinogerbil.jpg

You coudn't breath outside. The snow was falling so hard! I wish I could show it to you. I really can't get it in a video. It was the best day ever!

   Hi guys! Just wanted to say that I'm almost to one year of blogging. Taylor got a call from her manager. They said that the casting director for a major motion picture she auditioned on loved her and coundn't stop talking about her. This dosen't mean she's booked it or someone else booked it, it's just really good news. There is a play the casting director is working on and she said that Taylor would do good on it, so she didn't allow Taylor to go to the audition, but told her to go straight to the callbacks on Friday. She also has a commercial audition on Monday. And is waiting to hear on tons of things.

The other day we went to Carlo's Bakery home of the Cake Boss show on TLC. Budday! Valastro! Haha, anyway I got a Purple Fondant Cake. With Flowers. Hehe. So, I was gonna order a cake from there on like, November 1st. For my birthday and meet with Buddy over it, and if we would have ordered the cake I would be getting it about now.

:/ We have been doing a lot of school this week.

Here is a new countdown. Since I deleted the countdown page because it didn't work so...... Here you go! This one goes off right when it turns February 20th at midnight. Sorry.

Hope you like the makeover of my website! Comment!

   Hi guys! Sorry I haven't been blogging. Taylor has gotten about 3 more auditions. Can't talk about them yet due to confidentiality agreement. Rules, Rules, Rules. :-l *Sigh*.

So, lately nothing much has happened. We have been trying to find a Wii Fit Plus. We have been going everywhere to find one. Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, Gamestop, Best Buy, and lots of other places. One day when me, Tate, and mom went into Best Buy, there was a little grandma. She might have looked all innocent and like a little old lady, but when the doors opened she was flying through the store. She was asking people in the store where they had them at. And we think she got the last one. Because when we asked someone where they were at they said they sold out five minutes before we got there. Which is what we have been told everywhere. So one day when me and mom went to Best Buy right when they opened. We saw her. She was there again trying to buy one. Of course, they didn't have one, so we ran to Toys R Us and she followed us. And ran through Toys R Us with us! We couldn't believe it! She followed us! So, we came to the conclusion that we would push her down next time we see her. I'm serious. No, no, not really. But still, that wii is mine! Lol.

I've been calling every store in NJ to find one. Target said they had one so we will go there tomorrow and see. You are only allowed to have 2 per household now because no one has them.

Well, anyway..... thats all. Comment.

    Hi guys! I haven't blogged for a while now. Thought I should give you all the updates......

- Taylor has went on an audition for a Ghostbusters 3 video game commercial. They are making a Ghostbusters 3 movie right now. They are releasing the video game earlier though and Taylor auditioned for it's commercial..... And booked it! It films tomorrow. 

- Taylor went on an audition for a PBS movie and got a callback. They loved her!

- Taylor also went on an audition for a reaccuring co-star for a big ABC show. Hasn't heard on that yet but expecting to soon.

- Taylor also went on an audition for a major motion picture. She thought she did great. They have already called back and asked for more info on her.

She has been really busy and is doing really good. Keep praying for her!

So, I am really gonna start blogging this week. Today I did school and Dad and Tay went to the city for the callback for PBS and went to Queens for the ABC series audition. When they got back we all went to Olive Garden.

It was a MONSOON! WIND ADVISORIES AND FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS EVERYWHERE TODAY. IT WAS CRAZY! And dad and Tate had to walk on a pier today. Haha. Wind was screaming outside out hotel at about 45mph winds. Tearing tarps away from construction sites near where we stay. Some part of New York City was shut down do to planks flying off buildings and a giant scafolding tore off a building and was swinging. They got it fixed though and maybe tomorrow won't be so Monsoonish-ish Monsoonish? Is that even a word? Lol.

My blog is almost a year old!
