Or at least recipes are. I'm finally done transferring all the recipes to the format we are going to use. Now all I have to do is print them out, bind them, and start selling. Hopefully I run out very soon.
I also got a response from Safeway. They decided not to give me money. Oh well. That's okay. Thanks anyway for considering me. I think they actually though I was just a scam, because in the response letter they sent me the words "non-profit" were underlined and italicized. That's okay though. Saturday I'm going to start making appointments to see other companies. Hopefully I'll be seeing companies pretty regularly. Hopefully they'll actually start giving me money too.

My Bad . .
Money Earned Today: 0 Money Earned Total: 0
Sorry it's been so long since I last blogged. I guess having the ads thing say I can't use it anymore kind of made me depressed. I promise I'll try to keep up on it more from now on.
Let's see . . . I've been super busy lately. School's been giving me a lot of homework, and it makes it hard for me to get on here every day. I have to sleep at some point during the day. I've also been working really hard on my cookbook. I have a couple people that are willing to buy, and a couple places that are willing to advertise for me. Of course, I have to finish it first, and that's been proving kind of hard. I have all of my recipes, but I have to transfer them to another format before I can print them all out, so I have to type all of these into that format, which is taking time. I'm about halfway through now.
Mom has also decided that this week is the time to clean, so all the time that I could have spent on the computer typing my cookbook, I've had to spend cleaning. Now, for most people, it would be a job that takes a couple of hours, at most. No, not for me. I'm just a little OCD, so stuff like vacuuming the couch, cleaning off the cabinets, cleaning my room, can each take hours to do. It's a very good way to keep me occupied.
I went to a Naturpath Monday, because my back's been hurting a lot lately. She told me it's likely because I'm stressed, so she gave me a couple of exercises to do and told me to eat better and drink more water. Hopefully it works.
So yeah, that's what my life's been like the past week or so.

K103
Money Earned Today: 0 Money Earned Total: 0
Today K103, a radio station here, came and recorded the Advanced Womens Ensemble and the Concert Choir. We sang It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year for Womens and Do You Hear What I Hear for Concert. They sounded REALLY good. I'm kind of starting to feel bad for my third period teacher though, because this is the 3 time in the last 2 weeks that Mr. Karn has pulled me out of class for something. Twice for the HARTS Assembly and now this. So I feel like my third period class is being kind of neglected.

I am awesome

So I got my PSAT scores back on Friday. I got 68 on everything. I got the highest score in my school. I got my scores when I was talking to my counselors, when I was asking them about a program that allows you to go to college in high school. He actually recomended that I don't do it, because I would be bored. So instead of taking a few college coarses in high school and then taking three years of college, I'm still going to take all 4 years of college, but I'm going to take a bunch of AP coarses and then get college credit for them.

I had FREE TIME!
Money Earned Today: 0 Money Earned Total: 0
Today was an early release day at school, so I got out at about 11:20. The stars must have aligned today, because not only was it an early release, but I had almost no homework, so for most of the afternoon I had some time to myself. This almost never happens on any days except weekends, so I decided to take full advantage of my free time. I spent the afternoon reading. It's a good book. It's called Anubis Gate, and if you like fiction, adventure, danger, and possibly a little romance, this is definetally a book for you. I think it is pretty good. But that's what I spent most of afternoon doing. Yay for me time.

Stupid ads.
Money Earned Today: 0 Money Earned Total: 0
Yeah, I don't know if you noticed, but the total of zero money earned isn't a mistake. The website I was using to earn the money through the ads has said that I am having too few people click on too many ads. So all the money I had earned is now gone. I don't have it anymore. Which sucks. So, now I will have to earn all of my money by fundraising and sponsors. We'll see how well this goes. I was really liking the ads program.

recipes, recipes, recipes . . .
Money Earned Today: 0 Money Earned Total: 86.00
I spent hours and hours on the computer today looking at recipes for my cookbook. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find Dutch lunch recipes? Let me tell you, it is HARD. It took me almost an hour to find them. I spent from 2-7 on the computer for these recipes, so I hope people like them. Now I just have to put them into the format I want, which will have to wait until tomorrow. At least then it is fairly easy work.

I hate crooked judges!!!!!!!!!!!!
Money Earned Today: 1.24 Money Earned Total: 86.00
I had debate today, and I either had two really crooked judges or judges that didn't know what they were doing. If you drop something in a case, you are then agreeing to the point that your opponent is trying to make. Not only did my opponents drop points in my cases, all but one dropped MY WHOLE CASE. They are then agreeing with my case. And, in my first round, my opponent was rude to the judge. Here is the conversation:
Me: My opponent has completely dropped my case, so he is therefore agreeing with my case, so I have won this debate. (basically)
Him: I didn't go over her case because the points that are in her case were already disputed in my case. I assumed that the judge wasn't a dumb beast and would apply it to my opponent's case.
If someone is rude then they can get no more than 19 points total. I should have won that round, but not only did I not win that round, my opponent went on to place in finals. WHAT THE HELL!!!
I hate crooked judges.
It's late.
I'm tired.
I'm going to bed.

My First Debit Card!
Money Earned Today: 13.29 Money Earned Total: 84.76
I had choir today, which is why this is so late. It's going to be late tomorrow too, because I have a debate meet. Hopefully it won't run to 10 like it did last time. We didn't even get home until midnight.
Today, started telling people at school about my cookbooks, and hopefully I will get some orders. I have to sell 10 to cover everything and make a profit. Let's do that quickly. I also got my debit card for my account today, and then had it quickly confiscated by my dad. Hopefully, I will soon be seen fit to have it back. But now it is official that I have an account. YAY!

What is up with the 3's?!
Money Earned Today: 10.49 Money Earned Total: 71.47
Today was a really weird day. EVERYTHING I saw ended up somehow being a multiple of three. For example, at the moment I am writing this it is 8:05. Eight plus five is equal to thirteen. Thirteen is one and three. Three times one is three. I've had stuff like that going on all day. My dad started it. Blame him. Also, there was a lock down today in school because of an armed car jacking a mile away. That was crazy. So today's been pretty weird.
I already have one seller of my cookbook. I went to an office store to find things that I would need to make them, such as index cards, and binding rings. We were talking to the lady there, and told her about what we were doing. She said she likes cookbooks, and always wanted to travel but never did it enough, and that she would totally but a cookbook from me. So one sale already. While there, me and mom calculated that with the cost of binding, if I sell 50, I'll make about $425. That's a pretty good profit. I really hope that this works.

I didn't do too much today. I did some more research for recipes for the cookbook, and let me tell you, people in foreign countries eat some weird stuff, like sweetbread in orange sauce. Seems pretty weird to me. What scares me the most is that I already promised my parents I would try all the food that was put in front of me. I am going to try some pretty weird stuff soon.

Of Course, a COOKBOOK!
Money Earned Today: 9.10 Money Earned Total: 45.20
My mom is brilliant. She came up with the best idea for fundraising today. A COOKBOOK! And not just any cookbook, but a cookbook of recipes from the countries I'm going to. How brilliant is that?! I haven't researched the recipes yet, but she gave me a website, and I'm going to do it right after I'm done blogging. There will be a total of about 60 recipes from 4 countries. It won't cost too much money for me to do, and I will be able to carry them with me and sell them all the time.
One more thing to add on the list of the brilliantness of mom.
