Hey people! (and stuff)

2008-11-23T13:39:00.000-05:00

Sorry I haven't been blogging! I was just reading over my whole blog and I had a sudden urge to make lots more posts! Let's see... you do want an update, don't you? So... today Honey is 11 months old! In one month she will be one year old! We are going to have a small doggy party with a couple of my friends, chew toys, and dog chocolate! Oh, yea (and just so you know, I'm not TRYING to talk about birthdays. What can I say, it can't be avoided!) I'm finally 11! For my birthday me and friends Kiara (a.k.a Buggy), Giselle (a.k.a Gizzel), Jasmine (a.k.a Jazz), and Varuni (a.k.a Var) went bowling with my dad, my dad's girlfriend (Lou), and my mom. I'll give you a bigger update on the party after I have all the pix from it! What else... not that much is going on. I'll keep on posting! Don't worry my peeps!

Today

2008-06-09T18:17:00.000-04:00

Today my friend Giselle came over after school. We are doing computer and talking while my mom is at her new (actually kinda old) obssesion... SAVA SPA!!!! (Located at 187 th st and Pinehurst). WE R THE BOMB!

Sick as a dog

2008-03-04T14:49:00.001-05:00

Since Saturday my mom and I have had the flu. I have to sleepover at my Grandma's house for a couple days so me and my mom can better. We can't be together because we can't take care of each other when we're BOTH sick! Don't you feel bad for me? Boo- hoo hoo! And my dog isn't even with me for the next couple of days so I'm away from my mom and my dog! I'll write when I get better. (I THINK NEVER!)

Honey's here!

2008-02-16T18:08:00.000-05:00

Hey guys! Guess what?! My baby is finally here! Right now she's just lying in her bed, playing with her toys. I think my dog is like the smartest dog ever! I have only had her for two days, but she seriously already knows to pee on the paper instead of the rug, and she knows how to sit and come when you call her! Later I'm going to take Honey across the hall to my friend Molly's house and we are going to stay there for a long time and have a late night. See ya!

Honey

2008-02-09T11:46:00.000-05:00

Today I found out that Honey is 1.4 pounds. So tiny! Today me and my mom are going to Petco to go shopping for Honey. Petco also sells pets, and my mom calls it "Buy and Die," because in the past when we bought two fish and a hermit crab, they both died right away. Good thing the supplies aren't alive!

Happy birthday Dad!

2008-02-08T15:38:00.000-05:00

A special Happy Bday to the best dad a girl could ever have! Mine.

My Valentine's day present

2008-02-08T15:31:00.000-05:00

My puppy is coming three days earlier, on Feb 14th, Valentine's day.

More pics of Honey

2008-02-03T12:25:00.000-05:00

Hey guys, sorry I haven't blogged in a while. These are some more pictures of my new puppy Honey, and Angel, the puppy I was going to get before Honey. (Honey is the yellow one, and Angel is the black one).

She's my Honey!!

2008-01-22T15:09:00.000-05:00

These are more pictures of my NEW puppy, Honey!In the pictures with the three puppies, she is the one in the middle! The others are her brothers! Hey, that rhymes!

SHOCKER!!

2008-01-21T17:08:00.000-05:00

This is kind of freaky, but this is the story... We aren't getting Angel (the puppy I was going to get) because she's kind of sick, and she needs to be with her mother for at least another four months. She is like this because she is so small, and the runt of the litter. We are really sad, but we are getting this new puppy, (Angel's sister) and we already named her Honey! The thing is that she is nice, fat, and healthy! And we aren't so sad because the owner said that Angel will definetely live, even though she will probably be a little retarded as an adult. This is a picture of Honey, I hope you enjoy!

Franz Marc

2008-01-19T14:06:00.000-05:00

My favorite painter is now Franz Marc. I learned about him because I'm doing an art report for school. He was known for painting animals, and he even gave lessons in animal anatomy. With his friend Kandinsky, he published a magazine named The Blue Rider. Marc was born on February 8, 1880, and was killed in World War I, on March 4, 1916. These are some of his paintings.

Also, she will be shipped to us from Oklahoma probably at the end February, or sooner! PLUS, I've already named her Angel!

Giselle interview

2007-12-03T18:17:00.000-05:00

This is an interview of my friend Giselle.

Who is your favorite singer or band?

My favorite singer is Beyonce, because she has great talents and
I love her songs.

What is your fav. subject in school?

My fav. subject is literacy, because I love to read a book but I do not like to write about them.

What do you do when you get home from school?

I watch T.V and then I do my stuuuuupid homeworrrrkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I am starting to think about being a singer,dancer,or a chef because I luv to eat and cook.

If you become a singer, what kind of singer? (rockstar, popstar, jazz, etc.)

If I become a singer I will probably be a popstar, because I luv to sing music that you can actually dance to and music that actually has rythym!

Right now

2007-12-03T17:56:00.001-05:00

Right now I am at my mom's place, with my one of my best friends, named Giselle. We tried to watch "Monster House" the movie that I just persuaded my mom to buy, but the radiator made it so we could not hear it.

2007-11-17T19:54:00.000-05:00

Tonight my mom is out and dad is in Puerto Rico visiting an old friend, and I'm with my babysitter, Vennesa who is our doormans daughter, who is 13, and we went out to pizza, and bought ice cream and are watcing a movie, we are having SOOO much fun, and I get to stay up until 12:00 until my mom gets home!

Happy Halloween!

2007-10-27T09:38:00.001-04:00

It's almost Halloween, and I want to start celebrating early, so trick or treat! For Halloween I'm going to be a police girl, but I can't take all the credit for choosing my lovely costume ( which you are TOTALLY going to see on the EXACT night of Halloween on this blog!) because my wonderful, glorious mother helped me choose it! Boo! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Just so you know

2007-10-08T12:55:00.000-04:00

Just so you know, my first blog post since June is down there were it says, "I'm sooooo sorry."

Going to get a pup

2007-10-08T12:53:00.000-04:00

In January we are going to move and in February we are going to get a Shichon puppy (she- shon). A Shichon is a mix of Bichon amd Shih tzu. They are said to be very playful and good with children, but are not yappy. These are some examples of Shichons.

My summer

2007-10-08T12:25:00.000-04:00

Wahhh! Summer is over!!! This summer... oh geez, it seems so far away! Well, first I went to the "Harlem School of the Arts" summer day camp. I made a lot of new friends and we went on a lot of trips including, "Madame Tussad's Wax Museum," "The Metropolitan museum of Art," "Six Flags," and "The Natural History Museum." I also learned how to play the conga drums, and learn how to use Photo Shop on a computer. Then from August 1 - Aug. 5, my dad and I went to Chicago to visit my aunt, uncle and four cousins, as you already know. I had a lot of fun in my summer. But I'm kind of glad that the summer is over and I'm back at school, because summer is fun but you don't do THAT much. But school is rough too, I'll tell you that you that later.

Sorry!!!

2007-10-08T11:34:00.001-04:00

...for not blogging in such a long time!!! I have been so busy, during the summer, going back to school! But of course you'll hear about that on my blog! I promise you that you will see MANY more posts today.

SCHOOL'S OUT!!!!!!!!!!

2007-06-25T20:23:00.000-04:00

SCHOOL'S OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This summer I'm going to The Harlem School of The Arts camp where I am going to take percussion, photography, and acting. Also we have field trips to "Six Flags" etc. Also in August I am going with my Dad to Chicago to see my four cousins, and my aunt and uncle on my Dad's side. I'M SOOO EXCITED!!!!! But I am also going to miss my teacher, Ms.Orlando-the best teacher in the world! I'm sooo nervous about fifth grade because in my school fifth grade is MIDDLE SCHOOL! Scary... I promise to write more soon so check my blog whenever you can!!!

If I could have any dog in the world I would choose my favorite dog- an English Cocker Spaniel. I love them because they are graceful, intelligent, and most important- SOOO CUTE!!!

P.S. Did you know that Lady from Lady and the Tramp is an English Cocker Spaniel?

P.P.S. My favorite animals are totally dogs!!!

Daddy goes Hawaiian!!!

2007-05-17T18:31:00.001-04:00

Yesterday my dad left for Hawaii, the Big Island. He's going there because Cold Tea (our short film) got excepted into The Big Island Film Festival. He is going to be there for six days, including the day he left. He has already seen about five dolphins, which live at his hotel. (The dolphins in this picture are not the ones my dad saw, but pretty close!!!

Tadpoles again

2007-04-30T17:36:00.000-04:00

I HAVE A TADPOLE CURSE! ALL MY TADPOLES KEEP ON DYING...

First I ordered two tadpoles. When they came, one died. So I ordered another one. Then the first one died. Then another one came that I didn't even order!!!!! Then that one died, so now I only have one tadpole. Do you get it? Good explain it to me.

P.S. That makes four tadpoles in all, as shown in the picture above.

Urban Haikus by me

2007-04-01T13:14:00.001-04:00

In case you didn't know, haikus are these poems that have a pattern... there are three lines- the first one has to have five syllables, then the second line has seven, and the third line has five again. They can never be sentences. Here are some haikus by me.

"City"

Big dogs barking loud
Pizza smells make mouths water
People are laughing.

"Winter in the city"

Freezing cold weather
Snowflakes falling very fast
Thick, cold, white blanket.

Pancakes

2007-04-01T12:48:00.001-04:00

Last night I slept over at my Mom's apartment. This morning my Mom and I made pancakes. I cracked the egg, put in the oil, mixed the bowl, sprayed the pan, flipped the pancakes, put them on the plate, and ate them. They were delicious!

P.S. The picture above is what the pancakes looked like before I ate them.

Tads

2007-03-31T20:02:00.000-04:00

A couple of days ago two tadpoles came in the mail that my dad had ordered for me for Christmas. See post entitled "Merry Christmas Blog Buddies". Sadly one died. The other one lived, but at first it was kinda creeped out by having to live with a dead tadpole for a little while, but eventually we (me and my Dad) took the dead one out. The night before last night me and my Dad were walking home and we ran into a lady who had the cutest little French bulldog puppy! We asked if we could pet her, and the lady said yes. She told us the puppy's name was Gidget. Later that night I said to my Dad, "Dad, let's name the tadpole that lived Gidget, after that cute little puppy!" So now Gidget is living happily, and we hope the other tad is resting in peace.

Hearts, candy, valentines, love...that's all you need...

2007-02-14T15:46:00.003-05:00

Happy Valentine's day! During the 3rd century, the Romans would (on Feb.14) gather all the young men and each of them would write down a girl's name and put it in an urn. Then, each man would take a girl's name, and then he and that woman would get married that night. Talk about unexpected!

How I Got A Scar On My Left Hand

2007-01-17T21:51:00.000-05:00

One day I was having a riding lesson at a farm called Pee Wee. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge plastic bag flew in front of the horse and scared him. I fell off and the horse wanted to get away from me so he wouldn't hurt me, but by mistake his hoof came down on my left hand. I had to go to the emergency room. I don't even like to think about it. Anyway, the weird thing was, when I was having my lesson, my mom was cleaning out a horse stall and suddenly she had a vision of me, falling off the horse. She decided to check on me, even though she was sure I was okay. But then, our friend Jim, came running up on his horse, yelling that I had fallen off and hurt my hand.

Above you can see what my hand looks like now.

Testing, testing, 1,2,3

2007-01-11T19:09:00.000-05:00

Today, yesterday, and the day before yesterday my class and I had the ELA (English Language Arts) test. I really can't tell you how easy it was, but still I was pretty nervous the first day of the test! On Tuesday we had multiple choice, Wednesday we listened to our teacher read a story, then we answered questions about it, and today we did extended something-or-other.

Tuesday afternoon as we were walking down the street, my mom asked me how the first part of the test went. I said, "It was like a breeze going past my face."

Merry Christmas Blog Buddies!!!

2006-12-26T14:14:00.000-05:00

Hi Blog Buddies!

Sorry I took so long to post something!

This Christmas was a blast!

I got up at 7:30am, and watched TV for 30 minutes, then I woke up my parents. Then my mom made hot chocolate! Yummy!!!!! Then we started to open presents! I got some really awesome stuff! I got a CD player, Clue, books, a telescope, and a thing that lets you make bouncy balls! Of course I got other presents as well. But the wackiest present I got this year is what my dad gave me... GENUINE PET FROGS!!!!! Actually he just gave me the tank, 'cause we have to order the tadpoles in the mail. After presents we got ready to go to my grandma's house, where we would see my grandma, (of course) my cousins Jack and Sydney, and my 2 uncles, and my aunt. Me and Jack played, and had a lot of funny fun!

I had a great Christmas! I hope you had a great Christmas as well!

Evil Homework

2006-10-05T21:43:00.000-04:00

Homework is like a little red devil that runs around the world and gives lots of work to the kids at schools, and especially extra homework for kids that really want to go places after school.

When teachers feel like being nice, the little pink angel comes out and even though it's nice, it locks away the little red devil because the teachers decide that since they're in such a happy mood, there's no homework tonight!!! But eventually the little red devil gets out of the prison, and gives homework again to everybody, but before he does that, he locks away, once again, the little pink angel.

The End.

Hello my peeps!!!!I'm really sorry I haven't been writing alot! This summer I went to horse sleepaway camp in New Hampshire,for 3 weeks!Let me tell you about it! We get up in the morning at 6:00am,get dressed,then a large bell rings, and it's time to feed the horses.We are paired up in 2's,and the 2 partners share a horse/pony,to feed, and ride.When it's time to feed the horses 1 partner gets the horse, and the other partner gets the food.Then we put back the horses, and the empty feed buckets, and go into our cabinns to do our chores.Then the bell rings again,for our breakfast.After that we go to the cabins and brush our teeth and hair.Then the partners get together,and we get our horses and tack up (brush the horse and put on the bridle and saddle).Then 1 partner rides 1st period on trail, then the other partner rides(2nd period) in the ridding ring.When 2nd period comes back we untack the horse, sponge them down, and put them away.Then it's rest time for 30 min. Then it's time for lunch.THEN it's time for everyone in the camp to go swimming at the lake.THEN it's time for dinner when we get back to the camp.After that we have a choice of playing a game, taking a hike, or doing Arts and crafts.Then still, we come back, have a late night snack, brush our teeth, and then go to bed.Here are some other things you should know:We change horses and partners every week, every Friday we go to the movies,there are 4 ridding rings, which have different levels:ring 2 is very advanced, 1 is the next highest ring, 4 is the next highest, and ring 3 is the least advanced.

Sorry,but now I have to go do my homework at the park! I'll take less time to post more things now!
Bye!

Love,
Annie K.

P.S Did you know my camp is for girls only?

Puppy Love

2006-10-04T18:20:00.000-04:00

Isn’t this the cutest puppy ever?!!! I used to have 2 puppies of this breed (French bulldog). One's name was Milo, and the other one's name was Tex. Tex died before I was born. He was put-down because he broke his back because he had been jumping up on beds and sofas etc. When I was 3, Milo died of a heart attack. But I hope that THIS puppy lives very happily!

Molly riding Joey
Me riding Joey
Mr. Aggressive
Kittens
Us with kittensThis is my friend, Molly McIntosh. She is a year older than me and she loves animals just as much as I do! Well, these are some pictures that we took over the weekend because she and I had an Annie/Molly weekend. This is what happened:

Saturday: Molly and I went to the barn and the farm owners had invited us to their big picnic party! When we got there we decided to take out Tinkerbelle, but she didn’t want to have her collar and leash on so we had to pull her around the barn but she kept on pulling us back. Then she got loose and everybody was running after her, so we finally decided to just PUT HER AWAY!!! After that we went up to the party to grab a bite to eat and to INVESTIGATE! There’s a little pen connected to the house and there were two baby goats inside. Then I noticed something very strange. There was a little Bernesse Mountain Dog puppy that I’d never seen before! Well, just to have you know, they breed Bernesse Mountain Dogs at the farm so it wasn’t a real shocker to see the puppy, but I’d never seen it before. We went inside the pen and started to pet it. It kind of bit us because it was a baby but we didn’t really mind. Then we went inside the big goat pen to pet the goats then we had a sneaky idea. We chased the goats and tried to catch them and we kept score of how many we touched or caught. After a long hour of chasing goats, we felt like riding. There’s a new horse at the barn named Joey. He’s black with a white stripe down his nose and head. And MY GOD he was a gentlest horse I’ve ever met!!!!! We rode around the riding ring and a couple hours later, we helped Greg (the farm owner) feed the horses. Molly and I got on his little “quad,” (a motorcycle with 4 wheels), and we handed out grain buckets. Then we fed the hay. Greg set out a bale, in front of Oakley’s pen so we gave it to him but it was too much! It was four times the amount he was supposed to get, and when Greg came back Oakley had a huge pile of hay!!! So Greg took out the extra hay. After that, we left. That night I slept over at Molly’s house. She and her mother are fostering 6 kittens and a mother cat because they were at the shelter and were going to be put down. Their names are: Blackie, Mr. Aggressive, The Twins, (Lilly & Libby), there’s also, Mama’s Girl, and Cally. The Mama’s name is Mamasita but her nickname is Mama.

Sunday: In the morning Molly’s mother invited me to a festival near the Hudson River. I called my parents and they said yes! Also, Molly’s friend Libby (one of the kittens was named after her) came with us. Soon Molly’s mom’s friends came over in the car to drive us there. Their names were Ellen and Scott and they had Texas accents! When we got there, we got ice cream and played on the jungle gym. Then we had a tiny picnic and Molly, Libby and I rolled down the hill! THEN we went to a big beach right next to the Hudson River. We didn’t have any swim suits so we had to swim in our shorts and our t-shirts!! Then we left and that is the end of the Annie/Molly weekend!!!

2006-06-10T12:24:00.000-04:00

My mommy is a crazy lady
She owns a horse and her name is Katie.
She loves animals and birds with wings,
And other silly, crazy things!

She likes cats and dogs and frogs and hogs,
And bunnies and rabbits and wooden logs. (Huh?)

She jogs and talks and dances and laughs,
And she even likes baby giraffes!

She likes people and cuteness,
And as you can see,
She's very weird...
But she still loves me!

The Last Three Days

2006-06-03T16:05:00.000-04:00

This is a picture of me and my friend from school, Tea. (pronounced, “Tay-ya.”)

We were in the Pennsylvania mountains, ditching school for three days. I was with Tea and my mom. We were at a lodge and there was an outdoor pool, and inside there were 9 slides, a wave pool, 1 regular pool, plenty of lifeguards, and four-story tree house! Me and Tea had a lot of fun, and my mom usually just hung out by the outdoor pool and sunbathed and read her books. We ate dinner downstairs and even though my mom and Tea thought that the food was disgusting, I thought it was great. My mom thought the food was so bad that all she would have for dinner was a big cup of coffee!! The thing I liked best about some of the pools was that they only went up to 4 feet, and I’m 4’6”! Yay! Me and Tea took turns using the goggles and dived in and out of the outdoor pool. It was kind of cool to see everything that was going on below the water.

Well, that’s about everything that the lodge has, we were really sad when we left. Also, to make matters worse, on the day that we left there was a big thunder and lightening storm. It’s 2 hours to get home but because of the storm it took 2 1/2 hours. ALSO it took long because my mom had to pull over a few times because it was too dangerous to drive!! Before we left, my mom got me a teddy bear, a little wolf, a bigger wolf, and a little stuffed moose. She got Tea a teddy bear, a snow globe with a wolf inside it, and a little wolf. My mom fell SO in love with my little moose that she bought one for herself and she cooed to it and kissed it and me and Tea said that she was an alien!

I hope you enjoyed my trip like I did.

Good bye!

This picture was taken last weekend in New Jersey. My mom, my dad and I went hiking on a trail by he Hudson River. We saw these geese. They were very interesting and it’s even better than the picture because we got to see them close-up.

Today

2006-05-21T03:55:00.000-04:00

Today, my daddy and I are going to the Coliseum Movie Theatre on 181st Street to see the movie, “HOOT.” It is about little owls and about how kids want to stop men from breaking down the woods and harming the owls. The only reason I know that is because I watched the commercial. I can’t wait to go but me and my daddy have to hurry because at this exact moment, it is 12:47pm. And the movie starts at 2:15pm. So as you can see, we’re in a big rush. My mom is going to stay home because my dad is more of the movie type, and my mom has to work and nap. I’m sad though because I have a teeny cold, and I can’t have any candy!!! But guess what saved me?! I get to have popcorn! (Only with a little butter.) Well, I have to go now, so goodbye.

The Teester & I

2006-05-15T20:43:00.000-04:00

This is my friend, Tallulah. We call her "Teester." This is when we were 6 and we were at the racetrack with our mothers. As you can see, we were having lunch at the cafe. It was a cool fall day, and we were in Queens at the Belmont Racetrack. We were there because we used to own part of a racehorse. Her name was Tsunami. Well, as I was saying, we were VERY excited to be at the racetrack and we had so much energy from the long ride from New York City to QUEENS, we had to EXPLODE with energy! Well, that's pretty much all I can remember about that day at the racetrack, so now I'll tell you more about the TEESSTTER!!

Tallulah is one of my very best friends, even though we sometimes we quarrel a lot, my mom says it's just because we're too much alike! Tallulah, if you are reading this, I want to tell you that even if sometimes we want to kill each other, I will still always love you. Also, you can see, in the other picture of us, we are hugging the stature of a racehorse. I'm also very sad because now Tallulah is moving to San Diego, and that's FIVE HOURS AWAY!! But my mom says that maybe we'll move to Los Angeles so then we'll be closer to Tallulah! Okay, that is everything about Tallulah! Goodbye my fans (And Tallulah.)

The Cat Basket Tribe by Annie Kosh

2006-05-15T20:18:00.000-04:00

Once upon a time there were 11 little kittens. 5 were gray and white, 2 were orange, and 4 were stripped. They all lived together in a litter that they called their "Cat Tribe." Their names were: Cody, Tootsie, Angel, Button, Chi-Chi, Rosita, Thomas, Carly, Pawsy, Chelsea, and Munchkin.

One day, Munchkin was in the garden picking out the weeds. When suddenly, Cody and Thomas crept out of the bushes and pounced on her and the flowers! Munchkin screamed and ran off. Then, as a prank, Thomas and Cody dug up all the flowers and put all the big fat weeds back in the dirt to grow. Then, Tootsie, the oldest kitten, came out with Rosita, Chi-Chi, Angel and Munchkin. Munchkin was whimpering and Tootsie was looking very angry, and the other three cohered next to Munchkin. Thomas scampered away whining because he knew that Tootsie would have some boring and scary lectures about not to mess with Munchkin’s garden. However, Cody did not scamper whining, for he was the third oldest one, and he had no fear of Tootsie. But, he did not like her lectures so he sat down with his ears flopped over his eyes and let out a high-pitched, "Meoooow!" Then, Tootsie sent Rosita to go and get Thomas, while she dealt with Cody. First, Tootsie took Cody by his neck in her mouth and dragged him over to the cat basket. There the rest of the tribe had been sleeping and had not known anything about the flower incident and the fight. "Now go to sleep and have a time-out until I wake you up," Tootsie said to Cody. So Cody lay down with the others, pushed aside a space for himself, and quickly pretended to snore so Tootsie wouldn’t be suspicious. Just at that moment, Rosita arrived with Thomas dragged by his neck in her mouth. Tootsie quickly took Thomas before he could scamper away again and told him that since he was very small and hadn't done a lot of damage, all he had to do was take a 15-minute time-out. Thomas was overjoyed and very grateful because he really wasn’t a bad kitten. And then he told Tootsie what had happened. "Cody said that you wouldn’t give me dinner if I didn’t play with him and mess up Munchkin’s garden. He also said that he would beat me with his claws and teeth and that he would mess up my newly trimmed fur.” Tootsie decided that since it was still very early, she would make Cody sleep and have a time-out for 2 more hours, for he was very bad most of the time. Then Munchkin went back to her garden, Thomas went to the kitchen for his time-out, and everyone else went to sleep except Tootsie, because she had cooking and had to help Munchkin with her garden.

The next morning Cody said sorry and that he would try to behave like a good little kitten from now on, and that he would help Munchkin with her garden and would not threaten Thomas anymore. Thomas apologized to everyone and they all had a nice long cat slumber.

The end.

My Dinner

2006-05-12T21:00:00.000-04:00

This is my mommy’s kitchen. I think she is a very good cook and tonight she says we’re having Halibut steak fish. (I took these pictures tonight while my mama was making the dinner.) My mom likes to light candles while she cooks, she even lights candles when she's washing dishes! Also, if I'm watching TV in the living room, she will cook while listening to music on her iPod.

Tonight I’m going to have broccoli, and my parents are going to have salad. Every night when we eat dinner, before we eat we give thanks and we talk about people. When my mom says it, she always gives thanks to the meat or the fish because it had a life, and she gives thanks for the vegetables and to the farmers who grew the vegetables and for their hard work and their joy and sorrows. My dad talks about hoping someone who is sick will get better, and he talks about other people around the world and how we hope they're okay. Pretty soon we eat. Okay that is the end of my dinner story. Goodbye! Oh, you should click on the pictures because they look really pretty when you can see them big!

Hank

2006-05-05T18:39:00.000-04:00

This is my next-door neighbor, Henry, but everyone calls him Hank. (As you can see in the title). Hank is two-years-old. Almost all the time, Hank goes up to our door and knocks and he calls my name. Sometimes me and my mom see him in the hallway with his babysitter and his dog. Hank likes to ride his bike and scooter there. One time, I was out in the hallway riding my scooter and, what a coincidence, Hank came out of his apartment with his dad and started to ride his scooter, too. We rode together in the hallway for about ten minutes. It was really fun.

Sorry, but I'm going to the park now and I will not be writing anymore today. But, if you look on my blog tomorrow, you will find a couple more interesting facts about my life.

Love,

Annie Kosh!

The Educational Bunny by Annie Kosh

2006-05-05T18:26:00.000-04:00

Once upon a time there was a little educational bunny. Her name was Little Pisser. All the other bunnies would always be playing video games while Little Pisser was always reading and learning. Everyday, Little Pisser told the other bunnies that if they wanted to grow up like their parents, who were dumb and stupid, because they were always playing video games when they were young, then they should continue to play video games all the time.

One day everyone grew up, and now, because the other little bunnies had always been slacking off in school and playing video games when they were babies, they were now stupid adult alcoholic rabbits that liked to mug people on the train.

Little Pisser was no longer Little Pisser unfortunately. Now she was Big Pisser. She had always been reading and learning and now she was going to college to study rabbits. But why should she do that if she could just look in the mirror? So, even Little Pisser, I mean, Big Pisser, can be a little off the deep end. Plus also, did I mention that Big Pisser is not an alcoholic, even though she has a few sips of beer once in a while, just to celebrate her being a Big Pisser? Plus also she only smokes twice a week, and sometimes she does three. She sure is sly!

The End.

Yesterday

2006-04-30T15:09:00.000-04:00

Yesterday when we got to the barn, the ferrier was there and all the horses were getting trimmed and shod. First I went over to the adult goat's pen and started picking grass and feeding it to the goats through the fence. I couldn’t take Tinkerbelle out because she would scare the horses that were having their feet done. So, after that, to amuse myself, I started feeding grass to Oakley instead, and to his paddock friend, "Pal." Then the farm-owner Greg, and my mom talked about horses. Then my mom and I got in the car and drove to a diner for lunch. I thought it was a very cozy diner and they had games there like the "Skill Crane." The "Skill Crane" is a big metal box that is see-through. Inside it, are many cute stuffed animals. Also, there's a claw and when you put money into the machine, you can move the claw around and see if you can catch a stuffed animal. Well, it's very hard, and I haven’t gotten a prize from it in 2 years! Can you believe it?! Well, my mom gave me $2 and I put it in and GUESS WHAT! I moved the claw, I dropped it down, and I got a prize! Isn’t that cool? Then I took my prize (it was a stuffed baby cow), and I went back to the table. I had a grilled cheese sandwich and fries, and then I got ICE CREAM!!! Then we drove back to the barn and my mom groomed Oakley. The bucks (male adult goats), were walking loose around the barn so I started to play with them. One of them was tied up. I chased them and pet them; I think they're fun to play with. Then, I watched the ferrier do Oakley's hooves. THEN it was feeding time for the baby goats and horses. I took the grain buckets and fed them to the horses. Then I helped Laurie (Greg's wife), feed the baby goats with bottles! Then I got to take them out and chase them. One of them is a female and her name is Miss Kitty. The other one is a male and his name is Festus. Then I let Tinkerbelle run around a little because the ferrier was gone. Then sadly, after half an hour later, it was time to go. I put the goats away and then we got in the car and then -- OH NO! -- WE LEFT THE BARN! Then I fell asleep on the way home.

Today my parents and I are going to the Museum and then a picnic in Central Park!

PS: The picture is of me and Festus! Isn't he cute?!

My Daddy the Writer

2006-04-26T21:48:00.000-04:00

This is my Daddy. He is a writer. He writes screenplays, such as my mom's, "Cold Tea." I think he's the best writer in the world because he has a creative imagination and he is smart and intelligent. Every night my Daddy and me read together in my bed. We call it "Reading Time." He is always wanting me to learn about and watch black and white films. I'm glad he makes me watch them because they're interesting and funny! My mom said that I'm probably the only kid in America who knows who Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Leslie Caron, Gene Kelly, Cary Grant, and Humphrey Bogart are.

Once my Daddy went to Switzerland to get his films published. He brought back pictures of Bernese Mountain Dogs and a big rabbit and tall mountains and cottages. Also, my parents said that the way they met and got married was that they both worked at a restaurant called "Teachers," and my dad was the head bartender and my mommy was a waitress. My parents fell in love and my dad wanted to marry my mom right away. They moved in together. Then they got married right after that, and after THAT, they had me 7 years later and we moved with our 2 French Bulldogs, Tex and Milo. Unfortunately, Tex died from a broken back and Milo died two years later from a horrible heart attack. I was only 3 at the time, and I had never met Tex, (I was in my mom's stomach when he died), but fortunately I met Milo but I only knew him for 3 years. What does this have to do with my dad you might ask? I don’t know!

Tink Fights Back!!!

2006-04-26T21:17:00.000-04:00

If you were wondering, that is my goat, Tinkerbelle. She lives at the barn. She has many friends such as other goats and cats. You wouldn't believe how much Tinkerbelle LOOOOOOVVVEEES cats!!! She is always chasing them, trying to make new friends. I always think that she has a greeeeeeeaaat talent for making friends. But the friends she wants to make are the exact opposite! Like once, Greg (the owner of the barn), brought out an adult female that Tinkerbelle wanted to play with but they ended up playing together on their hind legs, bucking and shoving each other. It was cute but I was afraid that it was much too violent for a young 8-year-old to watch, it was like those wrestling matches on TV. But no one got hurt and that's good.

I love Tinkerbelle because she has a wonderful personality and is always cute to watch. If you would like to know more about the barn, there are pictures and info about it for you to read.

Love,

Annie

Fit For a Dog

2006-04-26T00:23:00.000-04:00

Have you ever heard the saying, "Fit For A King?" Well apparently, this guy doesn’t know that that sentence is just a saying because he thinks he really is a king!

The Best Mom Ever

2006-04-26T00:18:00.000-04:00

My Mama is the best Mom ever because she always gives me good advice, even if at first it doesn't work. Her ideas are creative and good. My most favorite thing to do with her is to go to fun places together and to cuddle in bed together. When we go to the barn, I feel very thankful that I'm there and that I have my goat because without my mom, I wouldn't have anything that I have now. My mom is great at her job. And I think that she is the best editor ever. If you ever get the chance, you should watch her latest film, "Cold Tea." with Julie Fitzpatrick and David Nelson. I always say to my mom that I can’t wait until I'm older so we can go to the China Club at 12:00 am and get drunk. But I have to wait a while cause I'm only 8 1/2, and you have to be 21 and older to go to the China Club. That bums me out. But I'm kind of glad that I don't drink whisky yet, because once I tried a sip of beer, and I had to spit it up in a napkin. It was grooooooooosssssss!!!!!! You all out there should be very grateful for my mom because if I didn’t have her you wouldn’t be reading this blog right now. She is the one who inspired me to do this thingy!!!

Love,

Annie Kosh

Girlfriendship

2006-04-23T20:08:00.001-04:00

This is me and one of my best friend's Daniella. Me and my other friend call her Dani. This is a picture taken by my mom at my 8th birthday party. It was a sleepover. I like Daniella because she is nice and she is never boring. She is an interesting girl and I'm glad that she's my friend. The way that we met was, I was new at her school, and I was at recess about to get a jump rope. I met her there near the jump ropes and she asked me to play with her. At first I felt shy because I was new, but when I started to play with her, I realized that the school wasn't so scary if you have a friend there.

Kissarama

2006-04-23T19:50:00.000-04:00

This is me and my horse Kiss. Sadly, my mother sold him last year because he was a show horse and was happier when he was showing. We sold him because we wanted a more suitable trail-riding buddy. Even though I like to enter shows with horses and ponies, I was not yet experienced enough for Kiss. We sold him to a teenager named Jessie who boarded her horse at the stable we used to be at. Soon we found out that she was actually more suitable for him and we thought we might as well sell him to her because she was a nice, loving girl who really loved him. We thought that would be the best home for him.

I really miss Kiss even though we got another horse, but I don't feel as sad anymore because of two reasons. First I don’t feel sad because I now have a baby goat to cheer me up about the sadness in life. I am also not sad anymore because I know that Kiss is happier with Jessie and that we made the right decision.
