My New Hair Cut

Today I went to Mrs. H's Hair Palace to get my hair cut. It has been long and the same length for some while and I wanted a change. I got a few inches taken off but it seems like half my hair is missing!!! Before it was reaching the middle of my shoulder blades but now it is just were my shoulders are. It feels SOOO much lighter, the knots aren't bad and my hair feels silkier. I think I will let my hair grow out again during the Winter but when it becomes Spring I might want to get it cut a little short again.

St.Francis Employee Picnic

Yesterday afternoon at one o'clock Dad,Mom,Jamie and I went to the St.Francis Employee Picnic. I was expecting to sit on the ground with other people kind of picnic but it was held in the same tent the Dedication and Blessing Ceremony was held in on Saturday. Inside the tent were table and chairs and on the far left side was the food and drinks. The food table had chicken enchiladas,roast beef sandwitchs,hotdogs,jalepeno poppers,chicken rolls,cookies,some-type-of-crackers-dipped-in-honey-and-brown-sugar and a lot other good food. It was quite packed inside the rent so if you found seats at a table you had to grab them fast. My favorite food was the jalepeno poppers and the chicken rolls, they were VERY good. After about ten minutes Jamie was done eating so he went to play the games outside and bounce on the Moon Walk they had beside the tent. I wasn't finished eating so I stayed inside the tent. Maybe fifteen minutes later all of us went on a self guided tour of the hospital AGAIN because Mom forgot her camera the day before. We spent about thirty or so minutes there. Then we went home.

The Blessing and Dedication of Bon Secours St. Francis Medical Center

This afternoon Dad,Mom,Jamie and I went to the Blessing and Dedication ceremonies at eleven o'clock. The place where they were holding the ceremony stuff was in this big white tent with a ton of chairs and a few fans that were only towards the front. We got there right on time but the only seats left were in the back so that is where we sat. Mom said that the heat index today was 110. Everyone used their hand outs they got to fan themselves. It was very nasteyyyyy hot. The whole thing started out with a lady named Sister Rosemary welcoming everyone. Then four important people remarked about some stuff. That took a very long time!!! Next everyone stood up and sang "Lord of All hopefulness"(I didn't know this song). We stood up some more and did the "Rite of Blessing with Most Reverend Francis. Next we sang another song called "Psalm 93 All the Ends of the Earth,I didn't know that one either. After singing Most Reverend Walter read Matthew 4:23-25 from the Bible. Then they had the Gathering of the Waters. Basically the dumped water from the Jordan River,River Seine (Where St. Francis was born) and some water form the fountains at St.Mary's and more. They took some kind of plant and dipped it in all the water and,then took it out and flinged it out behind him. I am not Catholic so some of the stuff they did during the ceremony seemed odd to me. I think we prayed about five times after that. After all that Sister Rosemary came back and declared the dedication. At the end we sand "Ode to Joy". That song a DEFINITELY knew. Then we went out of the tent to watch them pour the water into the fountain and start it up. By now I was sweating a lot. Dad,Mom,Jamie and I went into the hospital for a tour in the lovely AC. When I walked into St.Francis it didn't even look like a hospital. They have marble counter tops,marble floors,really comfy chairs,water cascading down the entry,flat screen tvs in every room,Egyptian bathrobes and slippers in each bathroom with a shower in it. The whole hospital could be a resort if it wanted to!!! It was all so wicked awesome. After about thirty minutes of looking around Jamie and I's tummy were grumbling so we went to have some food they had there. On the paper they said "light refreshments". Well.. I didn't think they were "light" at all. They had crab dip,chicken balls,meat balls,a unleavened bread type bread,vegetables,cookies,puff balls,little miniature cakes and a lot more. It was SOOO good!!! After about fifteen or so minutes we went home.

Chili's

Yesterday afternoon for Dinner Dad and I went to a new restaurant down the street called Chili's. We got there and was escorted to our seats. I had water and Dad had Coke to drink. We shared a big thing of chips and dip for an appetizer. The dip had cheese and beef in it, the chips were good too. For the main course I had Cajun chicken pasta and Dad had Marguerita grilled chicken. The chicken in my pasta had some serious fire on it. I had to dip it in the sauce in the bottom of the plate to make it less fiery in my mouth. I ate about half of my food (Dad did too) and doggy bagged the rest for Mark Aaron and Dad did the same. For desert we had chocolate tower that Dad and I shared. On the bottom of it was rich moist molded cake still piping hot, inside it was chocolate and maybe some caramel, on the top was a honkin big thing of vanilla ice cream with hard chocolate on it. It was heavenly,I almost died and went to heaven (LOL). Dad paid the bill and then went home.

Nationals vs. Dodgers

Yesterday afternoon A bunch of people from my Youth group and I went to see the Nationals vs. Dodgers game. We rode in the church van for about an hour in a half. We then parked in a parking deck. We payed for our tickets and went through to get one a the subway. Travis bought the wrong ticket so he had to go back and ask to get a all day pass. All during this Joe,Daniel and Jamie had to "go" bad but there was no public restroom in the Subway station for some odd reason. The other thing was that there was no AC in the Subway station except for some fans here and there. Finally we got on the Subway but there was no AC there either!!! After a while on the Subway I started feeling sick like I was going to pass out. I didn't though. Soon we got off at the "Mall" in D.C. To go get some food. When we walked across the "Mall" to go to get something to eat. By now the boys had been "holding it" for thirty minutes. When we got into the History Museum everyone had to go to the bathroom. So we all did. Then we went downstairs to see if there was any food. It was closed so we decided to eat at the RFK stadium instead. Once again we walked across the mall to the Subway station. After getting off the Subway we walked straight to RFK. Of course there were the street vendors selling water,soda,hotdogs and peanuts. By now I was dragging bad. I was very tired from hopping train to train and with it being all hot to top it off. We got in the line to get in. While we waited I lay down on the curb because I was just so hot and tired at the time. A Police man came over to see if I was ok. I said I was ok. He then asked if I have been drinking water I said I had some but it was sorta warm. Then the Police dude walked away. Soon it was time to get through the doors. They checked bags and then scanned our tickets. The boys wanted to get autographs and I just wanted something wet to drink. So I went up to the line and I smelt the hot dogs.. once again almost passed out. I gave my money to Mr. H and asked him if he could buy my sierra Mist with my money. He took it and I went to sit down. Then Mr. H came had a few sips of my Sierra Mist. I then got up and we started walking to our seats. It took I while to get there because I started feeling light headed once in a while so I sat down every few ramps. We were all the way up in the yellow seats near the tippy top. Once we sat down things got cooler. There was a small breeze. I was ok. Soon John and the boys came up to the seats. A lady sang the National Anthem and a guy threw the first ball. Soon things were getting to. By the third inning I was getting thirsty again. So we walked down to get a drink. I ordered my drink but once I smelled the hot dogs I thought I was gonna pass out. So I sat down. The I stood back up and went back to out seats. I stayed there the whole game after that. This guy from the Nationals team who's last name is Wilkerson made a grand slam!!! It was really cool when everyone stood up and clapped for him. Well at the end it was Nationals 7 and the Dodgers 0. We won. John said for everyone to go the bathroom cause there was not gonna be anymore stops after this. So we all did. Then we slowly walked to the Subway. It was packed with peoples. Soon we got on the Subway car filled with people. By now I wasn't feeling to swift and neither was Daniel. Daniel's head hurt real bad. So anyway we got off that Subway and got on to another that was less packed. I was happy then. We then went on another train that we rode all the way to the Subway Station where we started off at. Then we all walked to the church van and got in. When I am bored I sing and I couldn't help it either!!! I just aimlessly sang for no apparent reason. I talked to Joe almost the whole time because neither of us could fall asleep unlike everyone else in the van. We were in bumper to bumper traffic because a dump truck broke down I think. One we were out of the traffic we were very close to the church. In about fifteen minutes we were back at church ready to be picked up to go home and get some sleep. By the it was two thirty a.m!!!

Water Country USA 2005

Yesterday at nine o'clock Mom,Dad,Jamie,Matt and I went to Water Country USA. It was an hour away so I brought some books and my CD player. I finished my Girls of Many Land Yup'ik, Minuk:Ashes In the Pathway. I needed a break from reading to I listened to my cd player. Sooner than it seemed we saw the sign for Water Country USA. We waited in line to get in the parking area. When we got out I put on sunscreen on because I didn't want to get burnt. Jamie and Matt didn't though. So we walked in gave out tickets to the persons. Of course we had to take a picture of the water country sign in front of the park like always. The we went on our first ride called "Jet Scream". It was a half covered tube slide with bright green one seater tubes. I was nervous while waiting in line because I didn't know if it was going to be scary or not. Once I was actually on the ride it was nice. I did it again after my first time. I can't remember all the rides we went on but the two I remember are "Turbo Racers" and "Hubba Hubba Highway". "Turbo Racers" was like those slides at the State Fair except it was bigger and had water on it. At the end of race I got up and started running. I slipped and fell on my butt and in the process tried to catch myself with my hand. I hastily got up and walked over to Mom and Dad. When they were speaking everything I heard sounded muffled along with the fact my wrist was killing me and so was my butt. Jamie went with Matt again on "Turbo Racers" while Mark went to take our heavy bag back to the car with my sandals in it. Soon I was hearing normally. After some more rides my feet started burning because the pavement was hot. Once or twice I almost cried it hurt so bad!!! For lunch I had chicken strips and French fries with a Mountian Dew: Code Red. It was pretty good although where we sat there was stupid wasps that kept coming around us. I HATE wasps,bees ectra. So we moved to a table that was away from the trash can. We went to "Adventure Isle" next. It had a leisure water ride where u just went around and around,four scary slides and monkey bars across a small portion of the pool.After thirty or so minutes we went to some other rides. Last but not least came "Hubba Hubba Highway". I had bugged Mom and Dad to go there all day long because in the website it said that it was the biggest attraction in the park. It wasn't THAT cool. It was a leisure ride almost like "Adventure Isle" except it was longer and had little water spouts here and there.I went around like five times. By then I was tired and so was everyone else. So we went back near the entrance were Jame and Matt rode "Malibu Pipeline". I didn't go on it because it was a closed tube slide and I don't like those. So we waited. Dad and mark started getting on my nerves. Soon it was almost time to leave. Dad,Mark and I went to the candy shop to get vanilla Dippin Dots for me to eat because I was thirsty while Jamie and Matt rode the "Jett Scream" for the last time. Then we went home!!!

4th of July 2005

This afternoon Mom,Dad,Jamie and I went to Mr.R's house for Dinner. They had soft and hard tacos with beef and chicken. It was quite tasty.Along with out family there was a some others. One of the kids named Aaron is sorta weird like. He thinks he has a time machine,communicates with martins and thinks that he is friends with them. He is just plain out weird. Anyway, I sat in the adults room because the children's room was very crowded. Soon we left to go see the fireworks near the resovoir. I rode in the car with the C. family. I noticed while we were going to find a parking that there was a ton of people . Like every block there was cars lined up. Finally we parked and started walking. We walked for like nine minutes. Once we got to the area we were sitting in all the kids went down to the water to skip rocks. I sat in the grass. Soon the fireworks started. I couldn't see very well due to the fact two big trees were in the way. If you stood near the water you could see them better. So for twenty minutes we watched the show standing up. After that time it was dark. We started walking in the dark which is hard when you can't see what is in front of you. Safely we all got to our cars. The R's dropped us off at our house.

Day 9:Going Home

On Saturday morning once again just like at the last hotel we slept at I woke up freezing. For some odd reason if you blast the AC all night it is gonna be cold in the morning.John and Mr. A. went to go fix the trailer. John said some guys who do race cars used some drill thingie and popped that tire off and put it VERY quick. The coolest part was that it ONLY cost five dollars. So everyone woke up went downstairs to have breakfast. I got dressed and was ready to go in a few minutes.Soon John came back drenched because it was raining outside. Soon we were on the road again. Of course there was the fights,the yells the annoyance etc... Soon it was time to have lunch. We stopped at a Wendy's slash gas station. I got Spicey Chicken fillet combo. It was delicious. Soon we were back on the road again. It was about an hour later when Daniel had-pee-BAD. Joe took a bottle with Mellow Yellow in it and swished it back and forth in front of his face. Daniel A. laughed so hard he cried!!! It was pretty funny. Soon we passed over a cannel of water. That was pretty funny also. After fifteen minutes we stopped at a gas station and we all relieved ourselves. Once again we got in the van and headed out. Toward the Lacy started grinding my last nerve!!! She was talking about some show that was bad and I told her to please stop but she didn't listen. So I said please shut-up. So I yelled at her to shut-up. Soon Megan said Lacy and Annie can't talk til we get to the church. I shut my mouth til I got there unlike Lacy who talked. Mark Aaron met me at church and we picked up my bags and we went home.

Day 8:Leaving M-Fuge

On Friday morning everyone had to pack up and put stuff in the trailer so we could get on the road to get on home. Before we left we had our last Breakfast at camp. I had chopped up potatoes.Then we went to have individual pictures done next to this building where some water contraption was. Everyone was standing in line to get individuals. Daniel R. was up there when all of a sudden came a blast of water. It got everyone wet. I believe it had something to do with a prank pulled on Bryan W. earlier in the week. It was quite funny yet my whole backside got wet. So we all prayed with Bryan. Next we all piled into the car. This time I sat ALL the way in the back with Lacy and Gage. I got quite annoyed with them after a while. When I got annoyed with people I took my notebook and gently hit them(NOT). It hurt when I did it but it didn't leave any bruises or anything. I fell asleep after a while. I woke up to a rumble strip we were driving on. Mr. S opened the back door I mumbled "I am gonna hurt whoever just opened that door!!!" Then I looked back and saw Mr. S and said "What happened why is the door open?" Then I looked at the trailer tire and saw a completely limp,flat torn up tire. Soon a sheriff came and we drove half way in the grass up a down ramp.Once we got to a gas station the "guys" started looking at it and trying too get it off. It was REALLY rusted so it was quite difficult. The coolest thing is that some guy came by and gave us a tire that fit PERFECTLY!!! Some other people gave u some tools to get it off and a car jack Since all the middle schoolers were all bored we decided to go in the van to get some bolts for the tires. Lemme tell you,that is NOT a good idea!!! Three girls and few boys who have been cooped up in a fifteen passenger van for quite a few hours tend to start to get agitated with each other. I was SO close to hitting Lacy so hard with all my might it isn't even funny!!! Well there was no bolts so we went back to the gas station to find all the kids who stayed were cleaning up the parking lot!!! Eddie was the one who started cleaning,I was amazed. M-Fuge really must of made a BIG impact on his life I guess. So the lady who was there let us leave our trailer there. We unhooked it and we drove to the nearest EXIT. We found a Sleep Inn. John paid like ten dollars and no tax less than the original motel we were gonna use. So all of us got our over night bags and found our room. I was in a room with Donna and Megan. I took a shower. John ordered Pizza from Domino's because we hadn't had Dinner yet. I had Pepperoni pizza. Then I went to sleep on the floor again.

Day 7:At M-Fuge

Thursday was the official last day of M-Fuge.I woke up at my normal time.For breakfast I had chopped up potatoes, Then I went to Quiet Time and Biblestudy.It was all good. Next came "Send Off".Then we went over to our track sites for the last time.I had lots of fun hanging out with Rikki,Sergio,Fronze,Sandy and many,many more kids.I miss them already!!! But I figure I shouldn't be sad because I made an impact on them just by wanting to play with them. Most kids who are Spanish or African American don't like us white people because they think white people are rich and snotty. Who knows maybe I planted the seed of Salvation on them which someone else will come and help the reap a harvest!!! One girl asked me if she could have my name tag I said No but u can have these beads I got in a Send Of Celebration one night. So I gave them to her.For lunch we had ham with cheese,Lay's chips and kool-aid.Soon we headed back to camp.Some of the girls started to cry but I wasn't. I am not one to be touchy,feely.When we got back it was free time.For my free time I read my "Little Women" book and took another thirty-minute nap.For Dinner we had pizza,rice etc... It was all pretty good. Next we went back to our track rooms were we have Biiblestudy to fill out forms about how we liked camp and got each others screen names etc... Next came Worship. I found out that Joe had a crush on a girl in his track. He basically told me everything. Since Joe was afraid to ask Nicole (That is her name) he got Mark C. to ask for him.When Nicole said "Yeah" it wasn't exactly "No" or "Yes". Some how between Worship and Closing Joe found out Nicole really liked him too. So after Closing they got each other emails and addresses.We went to our dorm rooms,we prayed and then we went to bed. So ended our last day at M-Fuge

Day 6:At M-Fuge

On Wednesday I woke up at six-thirty. I did all the "stuff" I do before I go to breakfast. I went down to the Dining Hall with Sara,Donna and L.A.All I had for breakfast was cut up potatoes.Anyway I went to Quiet Time and Biblestudy. Nothing eventful happened during those activities.Next we went to our site.Sandy,Brandi and Rikki were there that day.We did the hop-hop--clap-forward-clap-back-stomp-right-foot-clap-behind-leg-clap-in-front of leg. We did good but not as well as yesterdays though.Then the kids started to go through the different areas.I did the art area.The kids made an undersea paper plate with blue surran wrap to make it all blue looking. The crafts turned out well but that paint and glue got all messy.Soon it was lunch time.Us "track peoples" has Bologna with cheese,Lay's chip and water.The sandwitchs tasted funky.Other than that it was all good.A while later the "Creative track" came and did a puppet show and sang some songs.After that Rikki,Brandi and I started playing our stomp game. Some of the "Creative track" people wanted to learn so we showed them.Sooner than it seemed we had to leave.Sandy asked if I was coming back tomorrow and I said "Yes!". I thought "Man,I am gonna miss her when I go home". So we went back to camp that we are not able to do "Mega Relay" because it was supposedly going to rain.Almost everyone went to their dorm rooms. I had to take a shower because my whole face was painted. El Stupido Drew scribbled on my pant s and legs. After I took my nice shower I read my last chapter of the first section of my "Little Women" book.After that I took a lovely thirty-minute nap.I woke up and had went down to the dining hall. I had pizza,chicken and broccoli with carrots.It was very good.We then went to Fellowship. Mark was the announcer dude. The whole show was quite funny. Then we went to our dorms,had our prayer thingie and went to bed.

Day 5:At M-Fuge

Once again on Tuesday I woke up at six-thirty. I think I started getting good at this whole getting up early idea!!! So I got ready ect.. Again I was the first one ready to get some breakfast.I had tatertots again. That was all I had.We did our Quiettime and Biblestudy. Then we went to "Send Off Celebration".That was great.So we went to our kids track area.I LOVED it so much!!! I REALLY enjoyed it to the fullest. This time for lunch we had turkey with mayonnaise,Lay's chip and oranges. It was ok. Soon it was time to go. Mark took us all to get a small Slurpee from 7Eleven. I got Darth Dew. It was great and I made sure to say "Thank-You" to Mark.Then we went back to camp. I helped drop off some stuff in theDining Hal. We were gonna go to the water park but we ran out of time. When I got to my dorm room I got dressed to go the beach. My first time all the way in the ocean was sort of scary cause the waves pull you in and to mention the nasty bad salt water that gets in yours eyes. The dumb seventh grade boys threw sand at me and I threw sand back.Somehow or another I got a cut on my knee cap. After an hour or so we went back to our dorms were I took a shower and got dressed to go to an out door mall called City place didn't like going there because it was very fancy. We went in this chocolate place were the boys from our Youth group played arm wrestling. Son we met the rest of out group at a water fountain. I found out that Nick and Taylor were caught jay-walking and then chased by security guards. They were caught though.So they were both is serious trouble with John.The weird thing is though that they had two different stories. Taylor made it sound like there wasn't even any police people!!! I personally think Nick was telling the truth.I ended up getting wet because Gage splashed me with some water from one of the fountain's. Then we all went back to our dorms. Us girls did our prayer thingie. Then we all went to sleep.

Day 4: At M-Fuge

Monday morning I woke up at six-thirty again. I did my normal "Get dressed and ready routine". Of course once again I was the first one ready to go!!! I got to wake up Donna and Sara. I tried to get Alexa to come wake them up because that is what they did to her the day before.I went into Sara and Donna's room and yelled "WAKE UP!!!". Then they both yelled at me.Alexa got there too late so she didn't get the pleasure of waking the happy campers up. After a while all of us went to get Breakfast.I had chopped up potatoes and a bagel with cream cheese.So next came Quiet Time and Biblestudy.Both were awesome. After all of that we went to "Send Off Celebration".We sang songs and prayed.Our track leader Mark jay-walked us to our bus. Apparently school buses don't have AC but o well.It took us about fifteen minutes to get there. First thing I saw of the church was a white building,rod iron gate and a sign written in Spanish and in English. So when we got in the church itself I smelt something smelly. It smelt kinda like mold but I figure is wansn't all that bad after a while.While I was there I learned some names for the rest of the week. Here are the ones I remember" Rikki,Laura,Edward,Shela, Brandi,Fronze,Sergio,Terek and Tyler.The kid I got along most with was Rikki. She was about my age and she was fun. I learned a stomp step from her and her friends. Here is how it goes:clap-front-clap-back-right-foot-stomp,clap-behind-leg-clap-in-front-of-leg. I said I would practice that step and maybe learn a new one the day after.Soon it was lunch. We had cheese and ham candidacy,law's Chips,apples and water. The water was good and so were the chips but the candidacy tasted kinda funny. Other than that everything went well. Then all of us went back to camp to have free time. I spent mine taking a nice hot shower and then read a book in the lounge. Then I walked down to Dinner where I had breaded chicken,chicken pot-pie and potatoes & onions. I liked everything.I thought we were gonna have our pictures taken for our group but because it was raining they cancelled. Next came Worship. Daniel P. fell asleep during Worship and I could hardly keep my eyes open during the sermon. Next we played a game called "The Apprentice".We played games to win points. We didn't win but you could get ice cream afterward though. There was a long line so I didn't get any. I came back to the dorm room. After a few minutes we prayed again. Then we all went back to our rooms and went to bed

Day 3:At M-Fuge

At six-thirty on Sunday I was awaken by no body.I literally woke up at six-thirty by myself!!!. I was dressed and ready to go.Of course I was the ONLY one ready to go. About seven o'clock we all went to down to eat Breakfast. I had tater-tots and a piece if French toast. It was all good. Next came quiet time in our track room.I did everything like I was supposed to.Afetr Quiet Time came Biblestudy. Some of the girls dabbled in my some trouble. We played a few games. Then we went to Worship, it wasn't long though because the people were having "sound-difficulties".So a few minutes later we went to a training class which taught us how to tell a kids about Christ and the Roman road escheat...Back to the Dining hall we walked to get lunch. Daniel P. and the PYCr's (Paint,Yardwork,construction) started yelling "PYC Whoohaa". It was VERY LOUD!!! I had pizza and an egg roll. Lunch was also good.Once we went to Worship. The sermon was about how the Lord is our Shepard and stuff. I enjoyed myself. After about an hour in Worship everyone cam back together with their church's for church bible studies. John did an so wicked awesome job.Kaitlin,Donna,Sara,L.A and I went to see "Open Mic-Night".We sat there for a half minute watching a girl sing mournfully "Old MicDonald Had a Farm".It was a waste of a half minute but wahteva. All of us were bored so we left and went to the M-Fuge store.I didn't buy anything though. I REALLY wanted to go back to our dorm. So Donna and Kaitlin took me We got there and L.A weren't there. It was about eleven forty-eight so we were worried that they were gonna get locked out. Luckily for them they were able to get in. Well after a while I got my PJ's on. All the girls met in Megan's and L.A's dorm room to have a prayer time.Then all of us went back to our dorm rooms.

Day 2:Traveling to M-Fuge/At M-Fuge

On Saturday I woke up to a cold hotel room. I got up and got dressed. Soon everyone was out the door.Then we piled into the two vans.We stopped at McDonald's for lunch but I didn't get anything due to the fact I don't really like McDonald's breakfast food.So anyway John A. drove for at least three ours. Son "Mr.-I-Gotta-Pee-Eric" had to go really bad.I think Eric has a bladder the size of a peanut.We stopped at a gas station because the windshield wipers on the other van weren't working which didn't help much because it was raining.So Mr.S and Mr.A tried to fix it.While they were working on that everyone went to McDonald's again for Lunch.It took FOREVER to get my food. I ended up having to eat my food in the van. A few hours later we stopped again to pick up Taylor,Alexa's cousin who was coming to M-Fuge with us.Once again we started back on the road. Sooner than it seemed we entered West Palm Beach.It was quite fun during the torrential down poor of rain as we drove!!!We then got out and went into a building where we watched a video about the rules. It was kinda funny. Afterward we had to carry our luggage to our dorms. Well right about this time it started to rain. It was weirdly fun drudging through the rain with a heavy duffel-bag. I ended up "rooming" with Tammy.We went to Worship were we sang songs and heard a guy named Brian preach. We then all went back to our dorms. Next we went to our track groups. I got the "Kids" track that I wanted. I learned everyone's name ext...After about an hour we went back to Worship. Were we sang more songs,watched a skit and prayed.Due to the torrential down poor of earlier I went to get my back-pack,overnight bag and my CD's out of the van.Ten I went down stairs to the lounge place to take pictures of girls from our Youth Group playing pool.After a while I got bored and came back up to my room.Then I went to sleep

Day 1:Trip to M-Fuge

A Friday ago at three o'clock our Youth Group started our trip to West-Palm Beach,Flordia.Right away we had the music blasting and a million conversations going on at one time.This is what the seating arrangements were: John A. was driving,Tammy in the co-Pilate seat,I sat by the window with Daniel P. and his girlfriend Leslee next to me. Behind us were Mark C,Daniel A. and Ashley.Next was Eric,Joe and Gage.In the WAY back sat Kacey,Lacey and Megan. Anyway we sat in the car for a long time. When it became five o'clock we stopped at Wendy's to have Dinner.I ate Spicey chicken fillet combo/I can't really think of a ton of stuff that happened but here is one thing. I was drinking some Gatorade out of a bottle when someone said something funny. So I thought I was going to swallow then laugh but I laughed first. I spewed a mouth full of Gatorade on the people on the front seat with me and the people driving and co-piloting. It was quite embarrassing. After many hours in the rental van we finally got to our hotel. I was in a room with Donna,Sara and Megan. I slept on the floor near the AC.Megan slept in a bed by herself and Sara and Donna shared a bed. So ended the first half of our traveling experiences.

FUZED

Mom,Dad,Mark,John Russel and Jamie dropped me off my dance friend Elizabeth's church. When I stepped out of the car there was Elizabeth and my other dance friend Kaylyn (AKA Bubbles) next to her. Then we went inside the churchand I signed up to win a door prize. While signing up I met Daniel P's girlfriend apon which I found out she goes to that church. Finally the people incharge opened the doors and we all went in. Som eof the people were setting off blow horns and coffeti thingies. I followed Bubbles and Elizabeth to the third row were we sat down. After a few minutes they gave out the door prizes. Elizabeth won a bucket full of 120 pieces of Dubble Bubble gum. Soon after we sang some songs. I don't think I knew any of them but I sang anyway. A few songs later we sat down again. I believe we listened to a guy talk for about thirty minutes. Awhile after that we sang three songs I actually knew. The ONLY wrost part of the whole singing was that the music was REALlY pumped up and it hurt my ears because in one patr the speaker squeeked VERY loudly!!! Then we dismissed to have Domino's pizza. While waiting in the line I saw Andrew F. but for some odd reason I called out "Hi,Andrew R.". You see we have two different Andrews at our church,it can be very confusing. Anyway I corrected myselfafter sayin that. A few minutes later I got two pepporoni pizzas and went to sit outside with Elizabeth and Bubbles. We talked and stuff. My MOm came and picked me up and we went home.

My First Day Back to Youth Group

This afetrnoon at six thirtish I was able to go to Youth Group due to the fact AWANA is over.I am so relieved to no longer have my "Challenge" to deal with yet his older brother is moving up to Youth in a week (tear,tear,sniffle,snifflle). John told us to move the couchs so we did. So anyway,in the start of Youth we played this game where you had a balloon on a string tied to your ankle. Ever one else did also. You had to try to pop everyone elses balloon without yours getting popped. I am not a "Sporty" type so right when the game started my balloon got popped.It was the greatest fun watching the other guys and girls run around yo pop each others balloon with such great force of want. After that arrousing game we moved the couchs back into place. John said to get our Fuel notebooks. He said if you don't have a notebook,get a blank one from the back. So since I didn't I got one.Then we watched this sorta funny,stupid movie. It was oddly funny (almost like how my little brother likes Spongebob cause it is stupid). A little while later John talked about the movie, read stuff from the Bible and filled in the blanks to the sentances on a sheet of paper. Afterward I got a piece of paper and made a sign "Layla's Fuel Notebook" for my Fuel notebook. Of course Layla insant my name but Layla means Persian:night child. I am a night owl and stay up very late!!! I also like the name Azura cause it means blue sky. I may make a new sign that says "Azura's Fuel Notebook". Then Mom,Jamie and I went home in Izzie.

End of the School Year Party 2005

This afternoon at five thirty Jamie,Mom,Dad and I went to SCBC for the Annual End of the School Year Party. When we got there right away we saw all the boys Jamie's age were goofing off in front of the Brick Building. After a few minutes we all went in. Of course there was the nine girls who giggle and draw on the white board,the eight or so boys who play outside,the little babies,the adults who talk the whole time and little old me bored out of my mind. I casually glanced over at the food table,I noticed that most of the stuff on the table was "organic and natural". Literally most of the stuff there was potato salad,"organic potato chips,"organic ketchup and some baked potatoes. Lucky for me they had hot dogs and bbq. A few ladies wouldn't eat the ketchup because it had sugar in it. Gawwly,it is ONLY a little sugar for crying out loud!!! Like the WHOLE Co-op group are ALL "into" Organic and natural. I mean it is good in some ways but when you refuse ketchup because it has a tad bit of sugar,does anyone agree with me that is a tad bit too much??? People like that just make me wanna scream at times. Anyway,Mr. O prayed over the food. Everyone then ate some food. I personally didn't have much of a selection though. So I ate,I sat on my butt tried to read a book but I couldn't. After few hours we all went home.

Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants

This afternoon at three fifteen my Mom and I went to see "The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants" at the Commonwealth 20. We first got a big tub of popcorn (which we half devoured before the movie even started),Buncha crunch,bottled water and Diet Pepsi. After we stopped at the concession stand we went straight to the theatre. Mom and I sat almost at the very top. Anyway,we saw a bunch of commercials but not a lot of them looked that good. One thing I noticed was that there is going to be a lot of G rated movies so I guess that will better.So after the commercials came the actual movie. Lemme tell you all one thing "DON'T,may I repeat DON'T bring your little brothers,older brother,Dads or any males for that fact. This movie is strictly a "Chic flik". Any boys or men who would go would have to watch some "Manly Man" type of shoot um up movie after all that girly stuff. If you are looking for a good cry,romance and some laughs you should see The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants. Make sure that you don't drink a lot of liquids during this movie because you are going to have to go the bathroom during the last half hour of it. Trust me,just lay off the drinks toward the last half hour. All in all this movie was decent and quite clean except the characters said "grass" without the gr a lot. So other than that a few scenes that only girls would understand it was pretty much "All Good".
