You see the title up there? Someday when I'm famous and everyone knows my name, that will be a date to remember: my birthday!
I am currently looking for things that happened on my birthday...

1. Snowman Beanie Baby: Apparently Snowball Snowman was "born" on my birthday.

2. Astronomy Picture of the Day  http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap961222.html

(Just incase the website get's rid of this page I copied the words right here)

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

18 Miles From Deimos
Credit: The Viking Project, NASA
Explanation: Diminutive Deimos is the smallest of the two tiny Moons of Mars. Potato shaped and barely 6 miles wide this asteroid-like body was visited by the Viking 2 orbiter in 1977. This image was made when the spacecraft approached to within 18 miles of Deimos' surface. It is one of the most detailed pictures of a celestial body ever taken by an orbiting spacecraft - the field of view is less than a square mile and features just under 10 feet across are visible. Craters and large chunks of rock are seen scattered on the surface. Some of the craters appear to have been covered by a layer of regolith (soil and broken rock).

J'ai fait mon premier PowerPoint-I made my first Powerpoint!

  When I was in elementary school we didn't do powerpoints. At that time I didn't even know what a Powerpoint was! But now that my 10-year-old sister Darby makes them "all the time", she now has a reason to call me "old".
   I made my first powerpoint for my french class, with the title "Ma famille" which means "my family". Every chart was a web of my family members. I did a different slide for every parent: my mom, dad, step-father, and step-mother. My step-mother Heather was the easiest because she has one brother who got married with no children. Ah yes, and her parents.
  I have to say although it took a long time to finish I did have a lot of fun!
  If there are people who don't know what I'm talking about, or just want to see examples, here are links (these are other people's blogs. Click on their names to find their blogs)  :
