Pavement Hurts

Yesterday afternoon I went outside to shoot some hoops in the cul-de-sac. If the ball rolled off the pavement I would go run for it so it wouldn't get all messy if it landed in the muddy ditch.Well I went running to get the Basketball the last time and my ankle did the old "give-way" number. So my ankle turned out causing me to fall which made it so that I sprained my left ankle and in the process of falling scraped my right knee cap. My Dad is a Nurse and in his last Inservice(That is when my Dad takes a class type thing) he learned that if you sprain something you should just walk on it because if you use crutches it makes all those muscles in whatever you sprained tight. So I have been hobbling around for two days. For these whole two days I have been begging to have my crutches from the attic but no,no crutches for me!!! Of all of the kids in my family I am the most danger prone. So far in my life I have had three stitches in my forehead when I was five because I was running on stage at church and a microphone stand fell on me,nine stitches below my left eye when I was nine because my Aunt and Uncle's dog bit or scratched me,a broken leg when I was eleven because I was playing hide-and-seek in church and fell while I was running,sprained my right ankle when I was going down the stairs at my grandparents and the most recent one was my left ankle. All my little brother has ever done was stick a lego up his nose and sprain his thumb. Mark hasn't done anything in my knowledge. Maybe it is because I am the only girl in my family maybe it is because I am just unlucky. I just certainly hope nothing happens before Dance recital!!!

BW3

Last Monday at twelve thirty I went to Buffalo Wings Bar & Grill with some kids and adults from Youth Group.I went to BW3 with John,Megan,Daniel,Kiern,Amanda and Amanda 's boy friend whose name I don't know. Since there was so many of us we had to push some circular tables together.While everyone was trying to decide what to get to eat Kiern and Daniel disapeared and then came back carrying what looked like a cash box but when I lookd at it more up close the "cash boxes" were actually controlers to a trivia game that came up on the T.V screens in the whole restuaraunt.While we were waiting to ge our orders taken some more kids whose parents brought them to BW3 instead of bringing them to churcgh to go in the church van. The people and adults were Corrine,Jay,Tommy,Andrew and Sara. Finially it was my turn to order. I got six buffalo wings in mild sauce with cheese fries. Most of the adults and kids played the trivia game but all I really did was watch them play. Finially about an hour later the food arrived.My food was muy delishioso!!! Daniel said that if it was your first time being at BW3 you had to have some Blazin Sauce(which is the hottest sauce there). So I did, at first I was like "Wow it isn't that bad" but a little later my mouth started burning. Then a few minutes later the hottness wore off. Kiern actually drank some of the Blazin Sauce so he could get five dollars and get a pack o gum. After that stupid incident we all paid our bill and most of us got on the church van. This time Sara and Andrew rode with us back to church. When we went across a bridge it started pooring rain so hard that John couldn't hardly see the car in front of us. It got so bad that John was like "Everyone better buckle up!". We got off the bridge alive and the rain started to lighten up. Finially we all got to church and my Dad picked me up and we went home.

Dancing and Walk Through The Bible

Instead of writing about Sunday School,Nursery etc... I have decide to skip that part of my day. So I will be starting out my story in the afternoon.

Right after church I went to the Fellowship Hall to get my script and find out what in the world I was doing!! At first it was planned that I would be a woman the cross but a girl named Kelly showed up. So Kelly was woman one and Anna woman two. The pizza came right before I was going to leave so I asked mrs.C if I could get some Pizza real quick she said ok but when I went to get some and get on the road the lady guarding the pizza said "No, wait until we pray". I tried to explain but she didn't listen so I waited until a after we prayed then when I tried to eat it the pizza wasn't cut well so I had to wait for I knife. After all that delay I finally got my two slices of pepperoni pizza that I ate on the way to dance. I was only able to stay an half hour because of Big Ballet Production rehearsal. I was gonna get dressed at church but my Mom was in a rush so I changed at the dance studio. So I got dressed and went in the studio. There was a lot of people sitting near the mirror waiting to dance. I saw my class and sat by them. For about an hour in a half we sat there. Mr. Chris asked us to stay late because he wanted to run through it and have the people pantomime during it to know what to do.So after MANY times of going through our dance over and over again I finally went home. While I was home for thirty minutes changing Beatrices Cage and got dressed in my "normal" clothes. Then we went to church. I got my outfit on. Since everyone else got to pick an outfit I got stuck with one someone picked for me. I don't know how it all works out but EVERY Easter,Christmas etc.. I ALWAYS get stuck with an ugly costume!!! This ugly one had a pink top with pink sleeves and blue at the bottom part of the dress along with a little head shawl.Anyway the people in the crucifixion room was Kelly,Anna,Daniel and Jane.Anna and Kelly wee all excited and running,screaming being dramatic etc... It drove me nuts after a while. Everyone else in the room was mellow and sarcastic. The crucifixion room had black wall thingies,a big cross and a bucket with smelly concotion. I ended up giving out the little souvenirs as my job. Most of the kids were sorta greedy. When I would start holding the basket wit the stuff in it the kids started grabbing so I had to hold the bucket over my head so they wouldn't snatch the items away.After two more groups of people we were finished and we cleaned up. Then we had some of Mrs.C's birthday cake. It was very good. Soon later we went home

Sunday School,Nursery,Spaghetti Luncheon,Nascar and Small Group

This morning my loving Mother woke me up yelling "Annie get ready for Sunday School!!". I lazily got up and got ready for Sunday School.Then Mom,Dad,Jamie and I got in Tan Van(our mini van). and went to Sunday School. After big group we went to out Small classes. The whole lesson was about the Passover. I ate some kind of sprig dipped in salt water,unleaved bread and lamb. This morning was the first time I have every had Lamb. The Lamb tasted pretty good but it was kind of cold. A kid in my class named Eric gobbled up his lamb. After an hour or so came Worship Service. I didn't go though because I was helping in the nursery with the Tigers group. The kids in the Tiger group are Isaiah,Noah,Noah Q.,Sofia,Angie,Haily and Nathan. Because it was too muddy to go outside we went in the Youth Room to play. Poor little Isaiah started not feeling so good. So I held him and rocked him. Then we went back to the class room. Isaiah still wasn't feeling good so Mrs.Karen told me to take him to the front Nursery desk and tell the lady to page his Grandma. Then I sat in a chair with Isaiah to wait with his Grandma. Once Isaiah saw his "GA GA" he looked like he suddenly started feeling better. Later though he still wasn't so his "GA GA" stayed. I got out early from Nursery so I could figure out what I was supposed to do for the Spaghetti Luncheon Fundraiser for M-Fuge. I ended up serving Spaghetti. Anyway after serving others I ate my own Spaghetti. My Mom was telling me it was time to go home so I quickly got a salad, put dressing on it,told John A.(Our interum Youth Pastor) "Goodbye" and went home. As I was walking in the parking lot I noticed that I dropped a tad bit if salad dressing on my foot. Of course when you need a napkin in the car there is none!! So my Mom scrimmaged around to find a napkin. I wiped it off but, my tan slippoff shoes will never be the same again *tear,tear,sniffle,sniffle*. When I got home I changed into my Pj's and turned on NASCAR and layed down. This time I didn't even make it past the National Anthem!!! I slept for a few hours. My Mom woke me up and said "Get dressed for Small Group!!",so I did. We learned about where and how to pray etc... After a half hour my Dad took me home and I watched "Buffalo Dreams" for the second time in a row this week.

T&T Games 2004

This morning at six o'clock my loving Mother woke me up. I took a shower got ready. Then my family and I "hit the road". We stopped at Doughnut Connection to get a dozen doughnuts to eat on the way to the church where the Games were taking place like we always do. I believe it was around seven o'clock when we got there but we turned around when we got to the church because since we were so early my Mom said we should get some gas at WaWa for Izzie(our car). Anyway after filling up on gas we went back to the church and sat in the car for a while. When I looked up from eating my doughnut I saw Abe. Now Abe isn't his real name of course it is something else but when you first see him you think "It is Abraham Lincoln ghost or something!!". Abe is the spitting image of Abraham Lincoln. It is really cool but awfully creepy. Moving on... After a while Abe,Mom,Dad,Jamie and I decided to see if the building was unlocked. So we walked up the sidewalk and the doors were locked. Since my hair was still wet from my shower I was cold. WE all waited in the front for a little while and finally someone came to unlock the church. First things first was to figure out where I was helping which ended up hanging scores. Soon after we entered the Church swarms of people started coming. I being the person who ends up sweeping the floor with tons of people on it. Yeah so here is how you sweep a floor with many people in the way the phrases best used are "Excuse me","Scootch me","Comin through" and last but not least "beepbeep" After that "lovely" job I went to my scoring board. Of course we did the run of the mill stuff like The pledge to the American and AWANA( Which means Approves Workmen Are Not Ashamed) flag, both of the American and Awana songs along with a sermon that our AWANA Missionary used last year(I will call him Mr. R). This whole time Jamie is helping another church out. The whole time during T&T (which means Truth and Training) Games I was taking down and putting up scores. So I was hopping up and off of chairs all morning long. One good thing happened during the morning shift was that Jamie's team that he was helping out with won first!!! By this time it was maybe eleven o'clock. I had a Chic-Fl-a sandwitch,Ruffles Potato chips and Skittles (which everything except the Skittles were good because they were bit stale). After a very short time people started arriving again. All of my Church's kids and Jamie were there too. I was going to watch the Games but some people didn't show up so I ended up hanging scores again. O'boy I had even more hopping on and off of chair to do!!(LOL) Last time I hanged score it was relatively easy but we had division two and three etc.. It was so confusing!!! Anyway my Church
won first place. Their score was one-hundred and one. Soon after a bulk of the swarms of people left we started packing things up,sweeping floors,cleaning etc.. Then Abe,Mr. R,my family and another family went to Don Hose. I had Chicken that had onions,rice and smushed beans. It was Muy Delishioso!! Maybe after an hour or so we left to go home. While heading out the door we chatted with Daniel P. (who goes to our church) and a girl who I presumaly think was his girlfriend. So end our day of T&T Games!!!
