We cannot believe it. This doll blog started out really small and we rarely posted. As we got more attached to this blog, we posted more. And now, this? 40. Almost halfway to 100.

Thank you all for making this blog what it is!

Confusion of the Senses?

I was puzzled at my latest comment. I typed into google, 'Confusion of the Senses'
A million gazillion links popped up, I opened them all up in tabs and started to read. All of them had an interesting word, 'synesthesia'. So I opened another window and typed synes-...whatever. And it told me a bunch of things.

Synethete's are the people who have synesthesia. Synesthetes experience, "confusion of the senses".
There are different types. Some types they see all their black letters, in color! And they always are that color if they were originally in black. Some taste, hear, see, smell, feel, something, when they, taste, hear, see, smell, feel, something! It just depends...
Wowie...I have synesthesia.

Weird Happenings

I saw blue swirls in front of me as my alarm clock went off. They were just floating there, in mid-air. I shook my head and they wouldn't go away. I just closed my eyes and stumbled to my alarm clock and turned it off.
"Are you okay Julie?" Miley said rubbing her eyes.
"Yeah I'm fine," I said slowly opening my eyes, no more blue swirls, but now, why did I taste cinnamon?
"Did you see like, uh, blue swirls, by chance, when you woke up?" I asked, hoping for a yes answer.
"What are you talking about???" Miley looked at me, puzzled.
"Um, nevermind," I said hurrying out of the room. After I walked out, the cinnamon taste went away.
I heard a door slam, tons of pink zig-zags appeared right before my eyes! They went away just as the sound went away. I went to the library to get my mind off of this. I opened a book and all the letters were different colors! A was lime green. B was red. C was yellow...It was crazy! I couldn't read like this! It was giving me a headache just to look at this. I snapped the book shut and breathed. I had to find out what was happening to me. Right now! Miley came into the library, the door slammed, I saw pink zig-zags, I heard her voice, I tasted cinnamon.

Disasters Continue...

I felt horrible for Phoebe. Why did I agree to hang up water balloons? Just then I heard a splash in the other room. Uh oh. All the balloons collapsed onto everyone, one by one. I screamed as the last one hit me.
"We're ok!" I said as calm as I could manage.
I looked around, everyone was not ok....Everyone was shivering.
"Just get towels everyone! It's fine, the cake isn't ruined, nor the presents..."
"PRESENTS!?!?!?!?" McKenna squealed.
"Of course!" I said, trying to act like nothing happened. Everybody gathered around her, wrapped in towels.
She picked up the smallest one and pulled on the wrapping. Nothing happened.
"Uhm, Kathleen? Is this supposed to be like this?" She groaned as she pulled harder.
"I-I'll get the scissors!" I said running out.
I ran back in with scissors. I handed them to McKenna, but as I did, she cut herself. Argh.
"Ow!" She screeched.
Melanie came running in with a band-aid. She quickly wrapped her finger and opened all the presents. Over-all, it was just basketball stuff. I rushed out of the room to get the cake, it was really small. Sigh. Oh well. I lit the candle and started to walk into the room.
"Happy birthday to you-..."
Everyone had a smile on, I don't think anything can happen with the cake, can it? McKenna closed her eyes as I held the cake in front of her, she blew out the candles and everyone clapped. But then, Phoebe came in and slipped on water, which made her bump into me, which made me slam the cake, into McKenna's face. I hurriedly set the cake on the table and ran outside. I ran like there was no tomorrow. I went to the garden, I always sat on the bench when I was angry or sad. I sat down and covered my face. And I cried. I cried so hard I could've filled up a swimming pool. Phoebe came and sat next to me. I didn't look up. I just buried my face in my knees.
"Kathleen? Are you ok?" Phoebe asked sympathetically.
I lifted my head and spoke, "No, I am horrible at planning parties, everything went wrong!"
"But Kathleen, it wasn't all that bad, the water was a fun surprise, the cut, well, it was an accident, and the cake on McKenna's face...." Phoebe trailed off. "Well, it was kinda funny," Phoebe finished.
I let out a little giggle.
"But, now we don't have cake, or decorations," I said.
"Yeah, but how about we just spend this birthday together, as a family, as familia." Phoebe said.
"Wait, you know Spanish?" I said.
Phoebe's cheeks turned red.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"Okay, okay, McKenna and I come from a Spanish family, Mexico to be exact. And we didn't want to tell you, afraid you'd think it was weird having someone foreign in your family," Phoebe said, in a thick, Spanish accent.
"Wow! You imitate American's good!" I said.
"Gracias," Phoebe smiled.
Wow, who knew McKenna was Mexican! That's so cool. She doesn't look like it though. Well anyway, the rest of the day went better, and we all spent it together.
As familia.

Seeing Sisters

I squealed and hugged Phoebe. But then I realized that, she doesn't know me.
"Oh I'm sorry Phoebe it's just so nice to meet you and I've heard so much about you and I hoped you would get here safely and-" Rachel covered my mouth.
Phoebe giggled. "It's fine, where should I put my stuff?" Phoebe said, holding up a pink suitcase.
"Let me take care of that," Rachel said grabbing it from her.
Phoebe smiled. "Okay so when should I come out?" She asked me.
"Here's the plan..."
***********************************************************************
I bounced on my toes as I watched out the window, waiting for McKenna to get home. I jumped 5 feet in the air when I saw her. (Okay not 5 feet) I rushed to a hiding spot and held my breath. I heard her walk in with Melanie. I held my breath and counted to three in my head, this was the other girls' queue. We all jumped up and yelled, "SURPRISE!!!!" She staggered back, in shock. But at the same time she was smiling. 
"I can't believe it..." McKenna sighed happily.
"Well then you really wont believe this," I said, that was when Phoebe was supposed to come out. For a single second I was afraid that she forgot her queue. But then she turned the corner of the hall, with a smile on her face. McKenna's mouth, hung open.
"Y-You guy-guys would d-do this? For me?" McKenna managed to say with a slight stutter.
Phoebe ran and hugged McKenna. Tears welled up in their eyes. They hadn't seen each other in so long, yet they couldn't manage to get a word out.
"I've missed you so much back home," Phoebe said. "It's truly, not the same."
"I've missed you too, I mean, I love my new family, but I still miss you guys," McKenna replied.
"I cannot believe that our own mother would put you up for adoption," Phoebe said.
"It was for you guys, If I wouldn't have gone, you would have gone into the dumps, literally," McKenna managed a small smile.
Just then the worst thing that could happen, happened. A water balloon fell smack onto Phoebe's head, soaking her, from head to toe. She stood in shock for a few seconds and then calmed a little.
"C-C-Can I-I-I g-ge-get a tow-w-el?" Phoebe shivered, then sneezed.
That water was on as cold as can be.
"Oh Phoebe!!" I ran to her with a fresh towel. "I am so sorry this has happened."
"It's fine, I may have a little cold, but I'm okay," Phoebe smiled.
I breathed a sigh of relief.

Disasters

I hung up the phone harder then I think I probably should have. I just got off the phone with Phoebe, McKenna's sister. She was flying in today and I was nervous that we couldn't keep McKenna distracted long enough. Melanie was going to invite McKenna to go with her to shop for earrings...Hopefully it will be torture so that McKenna will have fun with Phoebe. I waved at Melanie to signal them to go. McKenna sighed but nodded and they ventured out the door.
"Kathleen!!!!!!!!" My name rang through the dorms.
"Yes Sabrina?" I said walking into the kitchen.
"What kind of cake should I make?" She said. She had flour all over her cheeks and hair.
"What happened?" I said, not answering her question.
"Well I was going to make cupcakes. But then Buddy ran in and knocked over the flour, and me. Then ran all over the place. So now I only have enough flour for a small cake," She explained.
This is already a disaster! I thought.
I nodded and said, "Chocolate I think is her favorite."
I walked out and hoped everyone else was doing well. I checked on Julie, she was wrapping presents. She had all the presents wrapped -sorry Julie- terribly. There was tape all over them, the paper was ripping, the fold were coming undone.
"What have you done?" I said softly, trying not to hurt her feelings.
"Excuse me?" She said angrily.
"Sorry, um, keep wrapping," I said walking out.
I ran to check on Hannah and Miley with blowing up balloons. Their faces were pale and they'd been up here an hour, only blowing up a single one.
"Cant.....Do.....It," Miley said between long breaths.
"These......Balloons.........Too...........Hard," Hannah said collapsing on the couch.
I felt sorry for them. "Umm....Try using a pump...or something," I said backing away.
"Can we use water? and hope for the best?" Miley said finally catching her breath.
I thought for a moment. Luck really wasn't on our side today. But I'll take the chance. "Fine," I said then dashed off to check on Rachel. Rachel was waiting at the door for Phoebe. What could possibly go wrong? Luck on us, Phoebe turned the corner and walked up the walkway.
Hopefully Phoebe wont notice our, 3 disasters. What else could happen?

Bursting With Ideas

I ran around the dorms, freaking out. What were we going to do for McKenna's birthday? It was tomorrow. Everybody seemed to have forgotten. When McKenna went off to dance I called a family meeting.
"Don't any of you know what tomorrow is?" I said glancing at everyone.
Everyone looked at each other hoping for an answer.
"You guys!!!" I said, annoyed. "McKenna's birthday!!!"
Everyone nodded and said, "Right" or "Ohhh".
"We need to find something special to do..." I looked around, hoping for inspiration.
"We could do a tea party!!" Someone yelled.
"We could go to the mall!!" Someone else suggested.
The room over-flowed with ideas. But none seemed good enough.
"I know!!!!!!" Lauren yelled, loud enough to quiet everyone down.
Everyone looked at her expectantly.
"We can get one of her siblings from home to come visit!"
McKenna was adopted, but she missed her birth sisters alot.
"Perfect." My lips curled into a smile.
"Let's get to work!!!"
Everyone scrambled.
