Dear my best bud Santa,
So for this Christmas I have everything I want all planned out. Let's start with a new car stereo. I'm tired of the one I have, since it scratches my CDs and holds them hostage. Another car accesory I want is a keyless remote but maybe this isn't just a want. I think it's a need. What if I'm kidnapped by a creeper just because I couldn't get my car door unlocked with the key in time? A keyless remote would keep me safe. And of course I want some new clothes, don't all teenage girls? A new hoodie from pacsun, some new jeans should do good. My ugg boots are all dirty and gross... so I definately need a new pair.
Since I just got my ears double pierced, I would love some new ear rings also. Also I need some money for the Arizona trip, yeah that'd be nice. And that's about it.
Until next time!
with love,
katherine

happy holidays
Some of my favorite past memories for christmas is probably those Christmas's when I was young and got sooo excited I could barely sleep. Back when I believed in Santa and everything was all magical. Nothing like running down the stairs to the sight of lots of beautifully wrapped presents.
As tradition, after opening the presents my family and I pack up even more presents and drive to my aunts house in Omaha. My aunt lives in a really nice neighborhood and all the houses have a ridiculous amount of lights streamed all over everything. It's really spectacular. My cousins and I are really into video games and last year they got a Wii so we had a lot of fun with that, and we even got Grandpa to join in. And surprisingly he is very good at bowling.
Now this year I've already got all my shopping done, and I swear I've spent over 200 dollars. There goes my JCP paycheck for this month. But that's ok because I love giving gifts! Almost as much as I love recieving them : )

New York Times reporters
I reviewed Janny Scott who writes for the news section. She won the Pulitzer Prize in 2001 for an article called “How Race Is Lived In America."
Someone asked her how to take better notes while in a interview. I read her response and found it very helpful. Scott said it was ok to ask for someone to hold on a second while you get stuff written down in a one-on-one interview.
She explained why she wanted to be a reporter, also. I read it and found it interesting. In one question somebody asked, she explained how to get the most honest quote. She also made up the idea for a certain section in the feature of the new york times, called the "Portraits of Grief."

world of the NY day
Today's word of the day on the NY times is nascent, which means coming or having recently come into existence.
The thick clouds nascent from the grey sky.
