In Kissimmee, two minutes from Orlando,never bored, but never quite busy...

Hey Hey

So, so far I am having a pretty good time in Kissimmee/Orlando.

I landed yesterday, and my flight actually came in pretty early. I sat next to this [obviously new at this] UM [unaccompanied minor] and she didn't talk much. On my other side [gotta hate bein in the middle] was this older mid 40's lady that read the entire flight. I got about a half an hour of sleep, and then I finished the Graveyard Book while I was on the plane. Yay, another summer reading book!!


So, everyone welcomed me [Liz, Dad, Mom and this new girl Jesse (Jessie? Jessy? Who knows? Not me...)]and then we got in the car and drove to this rental house that we're renting. We also share it wit Jourdan [J-Ro] and her dad and little brother, Bailey W and her family minus Ms. Beth and Brody. And Kymme of course [:P].

Yesterday, we went to Islands of Adventure, and Lizzy went on the Hulk for the first time [got two thumbs up]. We then made our way to Dr. Suess land where we had Pizza, Dippin' Dots, and SODAA. It started to rain, so we waited for

Last Day Party, with a sprinkle of jealousy...

Hey Hey,

So, sadly, today was my last day in New York. I am going to miss this place [and all the people that live here] soooo much, but, alas, I must move on with my life. Today started with me getting up at 10:45AM and hopping into my bathing suit and shorts, and leaving for the beach at 11:45AM with Beccz and her mom, Lynn. We spent about three hours in freezing, body-numbing water, scorching, feet-burning sand, and under a sun that could roast a duck. Or, in my case, a Gianna. I got a wicked sunburn on my face and shoulders so, greeeaatt.
Anywho, after I got home, we had dinner [Sausage and peppers and mac 'n cheese], and then I went on a bike ride with...guess who...
ANDREW! That's right, the Andrew that I talked about 4th of July.
HOnestly, I had forgotten how cute he is. Lol
So, we went on a bike ride for a good half an hour, and then Beccz came over and we went on like a two hour bike ride. It was sooooo funny. To every person that we say we would say hi, and what a beautiful day for whatever they were doing. Example:
Dude watering his plants: HIII! BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE WATERING PLANTS, EH?!
Mom with a kid in a stroller: HIII! BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE WALKING YOUR KID IN A STROLLER, EH?!
It was the funniest thing...ever...
So anywho, we rode over to Kelly Parrets house but she wasn't home so we called her and she planned to stop by my house later. So me, Andrew, and Beccz all got back and we were hanging and watching Andrew kill zombies and sitting eating cookies that Andrew's dad had made, and Kelly showed up. So we did the whole introduction thing [Kelly, Andrew, Andrew, Kelly] and then we just ran around and watched bugz get ZAPPED in the bug zapper thingy. Fun times, eh?
So, after it started to get kinda dark, we all went in the pool, and we were just foolin' around, squirtin each other with water guns and slapping each other with those styrafoam noodle things, when Beccz is all like "Oh I have a secret." and me, being all jokig around is like, "Aww you like ANDREW." and she's like. "Yes, actually that is the secret." and I'm just like..oh...so Beccz actually hung out more with Kelly and I spent more time with Andrew [finding out that he likes airplanes, tacos, dislikes cats, and is very insensitive and needs to have his brains blown out. lol insider.] So after a while we got out, and me [being bored] went with Kelly and we were ssitting on the hammock. Beccz was sitting by the fire with Andrew, and then all of a sudden Andrew comes over to the hammock and of cource Beccz is right at his heels. Then we had this whole argument over whether or not the hammock would break if he sat on it, and then we roasted marshmallows and made smores [which Andrew doesn't like..I fear something his wrong with him...]and then Kelly had to go home, so we gave our hugs and air-kisses and she left, so then it was just me, Beccz, and Andrew. Joyful, eh? So I went back on the hammock and Andrew came and we were just talking and all of a sudden Beccz comes over and plops down next to me and then VICTORIA comes on too and I'm like.. Okay, so this was a moment ruined... and then Beccz went inside to get her stuff [she was leaving soon] and I was sitting out on the hammock with Andrew, and we were listening to music and looking at the stars, and then we had to drive Beccz home, so we did, and me and her were semi-crying and like wouldn't let go of each other in our hug and yeah..Imma gunna miss her. So we drove back and me and Andrew had half an hour to kill, so we went back out on the hammock [Gosh, you gotta looooove that hammock :)] and just listened to music and I showed him this Google Sky Map app thing and then he had to go home [:(] and I went inside to pack [hugging him before hand of course] and then I packed and now here I am, blogging. That's really all that happened today.
OMFGG IM GOING TO FLORIDAAA TOMORROOOWWWW!!! AHHHH! SEE YOU ALLL SOOOONN!!
I got his number. Lol he saved in my phone as Andrew<3 who is crazy and I am saved as Gianna <3 lol I hope Isee him again, I probably will.

All for now.

What a Bee-YOO-tiful Day :)

Hey Hey,

So, today was pretty average. I got up at 10:30, [pretty early considering I didn't go to bed until 3:30AM] and had my usual from Dunkin' Donuts [a toasted, plain bagel with cream cheese]. we sa around the house for most of the day. You know that tree that I was talking about yesterday that fell and barely missed my dad's car? Well, today, Dad and one of the guys from the firehouse [Ryan, better known as RYan (emphasis on the RY)] chopped up that tree into little pieces and it is going to be hauled away tomorrow. MUAHAHAHHAHA SWEET REVEEENENGGEE! Other than that, we went for a ride in the Jeep, because today was GORGEOUS. It was sort-of hot, but with such a nice breeze and...it was just sooo niiice :) So, anywho, we went to this resturant down by the pier, and the food was so nice. It was just a REALLY nice day. Then we came home and watched some T.V. and then we had dinner [steak and pasta and brocolli]. Then I went on an hour long bike ride around the neighborhood. It was just the icing on top of the cake of a perfect day.

Tomorrow, I am going to the beach with Beccz for the last time, 'cause the next time I come back to New York it will possibly be snowing and will be WAYY to cold to go to the beach...
Well, that's all for now.

Home at Last, Home at last, Thank God-a-mighty I'm Home at last!

Hey Hey!

Okay so we are officially HOMEEEE from Baltimore! Yay! Feels so nice to relax on the couch, still blogging as usual. Ya sorry this post is so late, DAD was hogging the computer :P

So, before we left Baltimore, we went to the Top of the World Observation Tower, where the view was quite spectaculre. And I have some of the photo sfrom everything [Nette finally uploaded em to the computer] so I'll post em as time goes on..and on... oky whateverrr. If I DO end up posting photos, they are probably going to be at the top of the post, cuz I am WAY to tired to go and organize em all right now.

So, what was supposed to be a 3 hour trip home from Baltimore turned out to be a 7 hour trip in the pouring rain. We stopped at a rest stop and got some FRIED CHICKEN and it was sooo yummilicious. And of course Jojo was all "Mommy I wannago hooooome" and we're all like "So do we, but we can;t make traffic move any faster or the rain come down any lighter." and Ra broke a toy and killed me...it's a long storry.

O ya and this is one pic I WILL post. What's the welcome home we get from all of this? A DANG-FLABBIN TREE BRANCH THAT CRASHED AND BROKE THE FENCE AND BARELY MISSED MY DAD'S CAR!!!!! D:

Okay so I just sat here for 10 minutes waitting for the picz to upload and they didn't so...whatever IDRC. I'm goin to bed, maybe try again tomorrow. No Howl tonight, I'll post two chapters tomrrow, too tired. Night

Ribbit Ribbit Zoo-pals make us pass out from heat stroke

Hey Hey,

Today was really hot. Like really hot. It got up to 104, but with the humidity, it felt like 110. So, this is the weather that followed us as we walked through the [possibly] biggest zoo in the US.
Oh yeah, so much fun :/

Other than the heat, the Zoo was cool. We saw elephants and we sepnt a lot of time in the animal houses [thank GAWD for air condition] but everything was either uphill or downhill. And there were those mist-thing-a-ma-bobs set up at certain places, and when we came across them, we would just stand under them for like 2 minutes. It felt so niiiiiice. :)

I have pictures, but they are on my phone, so Imma gunna upload them from the app on my phone in a different post, but I don't know if I can uplaod more than one at a time. If I can't, then I am just going to ditch the picz all together. So, if there are no pics of the zoo, that's why.

Anywho, after we got home from the zoo, we went in the pool for about an hour, and then went back up to the room to get ready for dinner, which we had a resturant called Sabetinos in Little Italy. Then we walked around the harbor and got Italian Ice, and I tried to convice Dad to let me get an airbrush tatoo, but he wasn't having it :( Anyway, we danced a little, shopped a little, walked a little, laughed a little, etc, etc. Had a fun time. And really sad that we go home tomorrow. :( but hey, what must be done must be done.

I leave for Florida 4 days. Sad to leave New York but OMMGGGGG IM COMING HOOOMMME!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALL MY BFFFL AND MY FAM AND MEH PEEEEEPS! XD

Bye! Mwah and RAWR!

Yesterday's adventures, Today's explorations, and Tomorrow's anticipation

Hey Hey,

Okee pokie, so I am having so much fun in Baltimore!

Yesterday, we went to the Museum of SCIENCE! It was soooo cool and sooooo dang interactive! It started with this dinasour exhibit thing and you got to get a brusha and these saucy goggles and dig for bones! And everywhere there were these computer things that spurted random facts. Then came the weather section, where you saw a torando formed out of mist, got to create a sandstorm, see the way the atmosphereic currents work, and try to clean up an oil spill. Then you went up the stairs to the pulley, levers, light, lasers, and etc exhibit. I spent like all my time there at this stringless harp. Instead of strings, it had lasers so everytime that your hand passed through the laser, it would make the sound of whatever note that you plucked. So cool right? They also had this thing where you sat in this seat and pulled yourself up, and saw which of teh three seats is easiest. OH YEAHHHHH MUSCLESSSSSS!!! Then they had all this other science-y stuff. The next part was, you know, us eating lunch. Then we went to the part of the museum about the body. Really cool and stuff. Then we.......left... lol

Then we went on these electric boat things. It was me and Beccz in one boat [me driving of cource] and it was fun..but REALLY hot. And we have never not gone in the pool since we got here!!!

Today, we went to the aquarium. It was so cool. You should look it up online, because there is WAYYYY too much to talk about. It's the National Aquarium in Baltimore.

We also went to this Sports Hall of Fame. Not really that exciting...whatever...

Tomorrow we are going to the Washington National Zoo, the biggest Zoo in the U.S [possibly].

Anywho, speakin' of Beccz, SHE MADE A BLOOOGGG!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOONESSS!! You can view it at

Thanks. MWAH and RAWR

Happy Birthday to meeeee! _l-----i----l_ << MY birthday cheesecake :)

Hey Hey!

Guess what today is! [And if you can't guess, than you are either extremely dumb, or need to get your sight checked]

In case your all of the above, TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! WOOOO! I am now officially 13! YAY FOR MEEEEEEE!

We (me and a lot of other people) are now in Baltimore! Yay! So far, we have done exactly...2 things. It was a 4-1/2 hour dirve [counting the rest stop where qw got Burger king (ew)] up here, but it was totally worth it. I carpooled with Beccz, and we slept for most of the trip. But after we left the rest stop, we were wide awake and we WOULDN'T STOP TALKING! OMG it was so funny.

Once we got here, we had some issues with our room. We were origanlly going to be on the 12 [Club] Level, but the rooms only had one king-size bed. Yeah, the 5 of us...in one bed? Yeah, no that ain't happening in THIS lifetime.

Well, now we are stationed in room 8051 at a very fancy-smancy hotel. [Not gunna say the name, I'd rather NOT get murdered while on vacation :)]

We first went in the pool [we being me, Ra, Jojo, and Beccz.], and had a ton of fun :). We only stayed in for 45 mintues because we had to get ready for dinner, which we had at..[drum roll please].... THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY!

OMG it was so DELISH! Me and Beccz shared a Ceaser salad, and then for dessert, I had Key Lime Pie Cheesecake, Beccz had Cookiedough Cheesecake, Nette had Red Velvet Cheesecake...etc...etc...

Afterwards, we [Me, Beccz, Dad, Nette, Ra, and Jojo] were going to go to the ESPNZone, but it was closed down :( So we ended up going on a nice little stroll through the...city, before going back to the hotel to go back in the pool. SO much fun and here I am now. Sitting on the computer, blogging to no one. Joyful my life is. :)

TO all those that gave me Happy Birthday wishes, Thank you so much and I love you all :)

Peace out! Mwah and RAWR!

--Gianna ^_^

P.S OMG I'M 13!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Hey Hey!
Sorry that I haven't posted in like...forever. Let's start with some updates, shall we?
Well, on July 12th, we got up nice and early at 6:30 to take a 1 1/2 hour car ride to the ferry, where we had to wait another 30 minutes for Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Beth, Raymond, and Emma Rose to arrive. After that, we sat on a ferry for 1 1/2 hours, where I caught up on some sleep [;)]. It was then another hour long drive in Rhode Island to the nearest Cracker Barrel [thank GOD], for a DELICIOUS lunch that consisted of all the adults [and me :)] eating the little kids' DELICIOUS Mac 'N Cheese. That must have been made with like 5 different cheeses. Yummy! Me and Aunt Beth had a Fried Chicken Tendorlion Apple Salad [which was great], Grandma had a BLT, Grandpa had Biscuits and Gravy, and I'm not sure what Nette had. And all the kids had chicken tenders with...[drum roll please].. MAC 'N CHEESE!


After we left Rhose Island, we went on a 30 minute ferry to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusettes. From there, we went past the 5 corners. Let me say now, HO-LY CRAP. That is the most HECTIC and CHAOTIC intersection ever. No stop signs, No traffic direction, mostly just crazed people trying to make order. Oh, yeah, had fun almost DYING there :). Anywho, THANK GOODNESS for ONStar* or we would never have gotten anywhere. After that it was about a...5 minute drive to the house inVineyard Haven. It's a REALLY pretty house. Nice big, open space that is the Living room [With a VERY BIG plasma screen Tv might I add], the bar/kitchen/ and the dining room. Down a hallway is a door that leads to the basement, where there is another TV and a couple of couches. Back up the stairs and to the left is the master bedroom, closet with the dryer and washer, and right next to that is the bathroom. If you go back to the front door, right in front of it is the stairs which leads to 3 bedrroms and a bathroom. It was a really nice house, very open and pretty :)






















The rest of our adventures were amazing. WE WENT TO AN ALPACA FARM!!!!!! OMG THAT WAS THE MOST FUN TIME OF MY LIFE!!!!!







We went to Oaks Bluff for the famous Flying horse Carousel. Very fun, see pictures below :) We also got some FUDGE [yum :)] and some really nice/funny pictures.
Look at that Concentration >>
Aww I am so adorable, so is my lil sis Look at what I made at the beach!

WE did a lot of other stuff, but it was mostly beaches. And I cut my foot on a rock :(
I went upstate with Beccz on Saturday for a gradutaion party. No picz but I looked awesome, and so did she. We had such a fun time! Dancin and partyin, so much fun!Guess what.
I'M TURNING 13 IN 2 [techinacally 1] DAYS! OMFGGGGGG!
And We leave for Baltimore IN 2 [techinacally 1] DAYS! OMFGGGGGG!
I am also talking to this really nice guy named Gianni. He lives in Florida and I havent met him yet but I can't wait to!

Thanks for listening! Mwah and Rawr!

Happy 4th of July! )-\+/-( <---supposed to be a firework. lol

Hey Hey!
So, today is the 4th of July, and it was super-dee-duper awesome-acle.

It started out at a party at Uncle Jamie and Aunt Nicole's house, which, in all honesty, wasn't that fun. I spent most of the time inside, talking to Grandma Mary. But it was ok.

The main event I'm talking about is when we got home.

There were fireworks going off EVERYWHERE! Over on the next street, a mile away, behind the house, right in front of the house, etc. But, anywho, it started of fine, Mo-Jo in his headphones and Ra sitting next to me. All of a sudden, Ra started crying, so Dad took her and Jo inside. Then Nette came home from Dunkin' Donuts [with my bagel and sweet tea, and her ice coffee] and took Ra and me over to the neighbor's house, where I met yet ANOTHER nice guy [and cute too, again]. His name is Andrew and he is 12 days younger than me [:P]. We were setting off little Jumping Jacks and Roman Candles [those are kinds of small fireworks] in his driveway, and walking around with sparklers. Then we all went inside and I met his dog [Tupelo, who tupelo cute (Wow, that was the worst joke...ever..)]. Nette and Dad went home, but I stayed and me, Andrew, his mom, and his dad had ice cream pops [Blue Bunny, DELICIOUS!] and watched Life. After a while, they started to get ready for bed, so I went home. I hope I get to see him again. He's staying teh night there [obviously], but I'm not sure when he is leaving tomorrow, and he said that he only comes here every other weekend, so I'm not sure that I will see him again before we leave for Baltimore... whateere, I'll see if he's still home tomorrow and kaybe see if he has a cell and get his number so we can stay in touch. He's a nice guy, and an aweomse dude, so we'll see where it goes.

Anywho, tomorrow we are goin on a boat... WE'RE ON A BOAT AND IT'S GOIN' FAST AND I GOT A NAUTICAL THEMED CASHEMINA AFGHAN. Haha sorry, but that was SO neccesary [spelling?]. That should be fun. More tomorrow though...

Well, that's all for today/tonight. *Mwah*

--Gianna ^_^

Happy 3rd of July!

Hey hey.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I really haven't had time. And I know that I am posting this on the 4th, but this post is about the 3rd! Yesterday was sooooo much fun. I went to two parties: one for an engagement party, and another for a 4th of July/birthday party. Lets start with the engagement party, shall we?

The EP [engagement party] was a lot of fun...for adults. It wasn't really a teen-sceene. There was a teenee-tinee bounce house for the toddlers, and then a bar for the adults. The only kid there that was my age was James, and he's not much of a talker. The highlights of that party were the water fight that me and James had and... that's pretty much it. Oh, except that my bracjet is completely off my tooth now, like I can slide it around the wire, so I'm going to the orthadontist on Tuesday for that.

The 4J/B P [4th of July/Birthday Party] was a lot more fun. The birthday part was for Jenna [<3 you] and her friend Nicole [<3 you too]. There was a bigger bounce house where I met this really nice guy, Gerith. He's a year younger than me, but really cute [lol]. And apperently [not sure if it's true or not] he's moving to London next year for his dad's job. Joyful, eh? Well, I also met all the girls in Jenna's posse [<3 you all]: Laura, Stephanie, Felicia, Devin, Paige, and Nicole. Had tons of fun with all of them. And of course, had fun chillin' with Jenna's lil sis, Sarah and her posse [I can only remember Taylor].

But the night continued on with:

a giant boxing glove fight in the bounce house with Gerith, a photo shoot with the JP [Jenna's posse], a water ballon fight with everyone [Gerith, JP, and SP (Sarah's posse)], manhunt [which Gerith almost died in], a fireworks show, an assassination, a strawberry fight, a hammock misfunction, and secret hideout, death by chocolate, unfrosted cupcake, a LOT of flip-flop stealing, the colors of the wind, a boy [Gerith] born of two consecutive akward silences, my birthday buddy, a magical Jeep, thorns in my feet, a lost sweatshirt, a dead cell phone, a busted cellphone, a fight over the last brownie, a fight over the last word, Sarah's ankle gushing blood, a Twilight impersonation, a bad Star Wars/Twilight Mix, a lot of back-of-the-head slapping, rolling over a car, and a dating drama worthy of a soap opera that included a fern tree, a pole, a car, me, Gerith, a bike, and a scooter.

Oh yeah, a LOT happened at the party. Regardless, I had TONS of fun! Love everyone I met, and Gerith, I hope to see you again before you leave, and... Meh. And to JP, I love you all!

That's all about yesterday. I'll post more about Today tonight. K, love you! *Mwah*

Let's go Yankees, Let's go *clap clap*

Hey hey!
Today was a super-dee-duper. I actually got up before 12:30 [shocker]! I got up at like 9 and then hung out for like half an hour and then got ready.

Got ready for what, you ask?

GOT READY FOR THE YANKEE GAME!!!

That's right, today we went to the Yankee Game, and let me tell you, the new Yankee Stadium is AMAZING!! If you haven't been there yet, I reccomend that you go. It is absolutley GIANT! It is the biggest baseball** stadium I have ever been to. And [according to Dad] I am now officially a Bleacher Creature. Wooo! Go me ^_^

That's pretty much all that happened today. I mean the car ride there and back took up like half of the day. But for some reason, the car ride back seemed to take longer than the car ride there... Hmmm... Maybe it was because I fell asleep and then woke up and the fell asleep and so on and so forth. Yah, that was probably it.

Victoria was pretty annoying on the car ride back. She was sooooo tired but refused to admit it so she spent the enitre car ride [might I re-mention, it was soooo long!] trying to keep herself awake. This included singing, playing with markers and pretneding they were people, repeatedly trying to steal my phone, playing with a cup and a hat and calling it the 'Magic Hat Smoothie Maker', and talking to herslef about nothing. Fun, eh? [ :^/ ]

Well, that's all that I really have to report on. Now, I have to go roast some marshmallows! Toodles!

Oh wait! About the Baltimore trip!
Haha, just kidding, there is still more to come on that soon... Haha and you got all excited...

Aha...well.. um.... ya... BYE!
*Mwah*

--Gianna ^_^


P.S Yankees won the game... WOOOO!

**is because I have seen FOOTBALL stadiums bigger, but this is the buggest BASEBALL stadium I have ever seen
