Puffles GALORE!

Sorry guys. I'm going to post about puffles 'cuz they are my main thoughts right now. 

The annual Puffle Party that happens on Club Penguin every February or March started yesterday with one big change: We got a puffle hotel, with comes equipped with an awesome lobby and a second floor gym and spa. The rooftop pool came with a restaurant (for puffles) and some chairs to sleep in. The reason this hotel was built? Rainbow puffles, which I'll tell you about in a minute.

The rest of the party is like it was last year: AWESOME! The puffle rooms haven't changed, and members can go to the Puffle Play Zone and turn into puffles! The puffles have completely taken over the island! Another cool thing about this party is the fact that if you're lucky, you can meet PH, the puffle handler. I haven't yet though I want to.

So  I mentioned rainbow puffles briefly in my last post, so I KNOW you've just been DYING with anticipation to learn about them. That's the problem though. The members have to go on this 'quest' to see if they can take care of puffles well enough, especially with help from the puffle hotel. So I logged in yesterday, excited to get my rainbow puffle. Excitedly, I went to the puffle hotel and looked at it in all its glory, then started my 'quest'. The first task was to exercise my puffle, so I went to my igloo, clicked on the first puffle I saw and walked him back to the hotel. I went to the second story of the hotel, the gym and spa. I went over to a treadmill, and let my puffle hop on it until a thing popped up telling me I had gotten the task. I got my free items for finishing my task (350 coins and part of a 'puffle master' outfit) and was ready to start the next one. After all, there were 3 rainbow puffles up there WAITING for me to come get them! Instead, do you know what it said???? It said "Next task will be ready in 18 hours." DID YOU HEAR THAT??? 18 HOURS!  

Sooo...... eighteen hours from 10:00 a.m is 4:00 a.m. 4:03, to be exact. So do you want to know what I did? I set my alarm for 4:10 this morning, woke up then, (with Mom's permission..and laptop, though she thinks I'm nuts) and lo and behold! The next task was ready. Can you guess what it was? Yeah. Take your puffle to the spa. (That took me 5 seconds: 3 to get a puffle from my igloo and 2 to actually do the task.) Then I went back to sleep. Tonight at 10, when my next task is ready, I'll log on, do the task (probably 'feed your puffle'), get my reward, and log off. Then I'll wait for tomorrow afternoon at 4:00: My last task will be ready and I'll be able to get my three rainbow puffles. One named Promise, one named Brill, and one named Skittles.  At least, that's my plan.


After all that, the only thing I know about rainbow puffles is that I don't have one yet.

Anyway, I've decided that until I find out what personality the rainbow puffle has, I'm totally a green puffle (with some yellow and red mixed in). My stuffed green puffle Propeller is being carted around with me EVERYWHERE (and he's loving it!). In fact, he especially loves it when I read Monster in the Hollows to Mom and my brother! (Ha. Ha. Ha.) But I still think I'm 1/2 green puffle, 1/4 red and 1/4 yellow, with a hint of others mixed in.

Still Here!

Wow, when I look at the last time I posted, it says 'February 21'. That means I haven't told you guys about all my adventures! I haven't even told you about seeing Mustang!!!! Wow! But at this point, that's too long a story to tell. If I tried to catch you up on everything I have done since I last posted, it would take me hours, and you probably would lose interest in reading such a long post. So I will commence telling you the main points.

  • I played in a Robert Earl Keen concert, which I call the REK (pronouce wreck) concert. It was actually pretty fun.
  • I got to ride Quest again! Except he was being moody and I seriously thought he might buck me off, so his owner actually let me ride Bear! (Whom she is very protective of)
  • I got to see Mustang!!!!!! They came out here, and then I went with them into town and stayed in their hotel with them and then Mustang and I went swimming and oh! It was insanely EPIC!
  • Our homeschool Co-op started! It's really fun.
  • We're reading the Wingfeather Saga again! (Oh yeah!!!) 
  • Our cousin came down for part of Spring Break! I got to go over to Grandma's house and play Skip-Bo (which Grandma creamed us at) and Scrabble (which Grandma creamed us at). 
  • Two of our friends from where Mom and Dad used to live came down for Spring Break! Those two are a hoot!  
I am really not quite sure what to post about, but I know I really should do more than catch you up; I should fill you in.  See, the thing is that for my first post in over a month, I know I shouldn't post about rainbow puffles (which I know for certain and confirmed we are getting on Thursday). But I don't know whether to post about the friends that came down from where Mom and Dad used to live, or puffles, or what. For all I know, the beautiful weather could be worth posting about.

I really just wanted you to know that no, I have not been eaten by a whale, swallowed up by the earth, struck by lightning, or whatever else you can come up with. I'm still here, just busy and finding it hard to post in between math, science, history, and being in town.

I sincerely promise that I will try to keep a schedule of posting, but just a warning, I'm not always great with posting.

But since I mentioned it, do you want to hear about rainbow puffles?
