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!!!

Dance Competition & Dance Workshop 2005

Yesterday was Dance Competition. Laura's Mom and Dad (whom I will call Mrs. Z and Mr.Z) picked my Mom and I up from out house. Before we went on to do our Jazz dance called "Rhythm Nation" I was pretty nervous. I thought I did pretty well. Next came our Tap dance called "Satin". I did well but some of my other friends sort of messed up. Hurriedly we changed and got back on stage to do our Ballet dance called "Through The Woods". It was PERFECT. There was NO mistakes or anything!!! Then I changed into comfy clothes and watched the next thirty so dances. After the last number (401) they gave out awards. Jazz got silver,Ballet got High Silver and Tap got silver. We were competing in the Seniors this year so it was pretty stiff competition. By this time it was like midnight. Then I got my bags and Laura,Mrs. Z,Mr. Z dropped us off at home. Where of course I had to take a shower to get the gunk of hair spray and styling gel out of my plastered hair.I had to use like a thousand cotton balls to get the makeup off my face!! Then went to sleep.


At six o'clock this morning my loving Mother woke me up. Mr. Z,Laura and Kaylyn picked my Mom and I up. I have this odd little habit if singing when I am tired or bored so ALL the way to Dance Workshop. Mr. Z dropped us all by the door and we went in. We were early so we sat in some chairs. Kaylyn and Laura fell asleep. I was awake though.After quite a while we got our bracelets from Mrs. Jessica. To my surprise Mrs.Jessica put us in the Advanced Class. Last year we were stuck with the Juniors which are like little kids. This year I expected to be in the Intermediate class but if I was in Intermediate;I would have thought it was way to easy. The first class we had was Jazz. It was boring. Next we did Tap which was REALLY hard. Next came Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop was so fun. Normally I would have hung around in the back and kind of shuffle through the dance but because Hip-Hop was something new and interesting I got right close to the very front of the class. Hip-Hop was my favorite class of all of them. Then came the Ballet class. Ballet was hard too. Last but not least was Hip-Hop again. We learned another dance so we switched back and forth and had a jam session which was totally awesome!!! After Hip-Hop was Sholarship which ONLY JEMS ever get. So Kaylyn,Laura,my Mom and I got into Kaylyn's Dad's car. It was a small car too so we squished in. Kaylyn's Dad dropped my Mom and I at our house. Right away I cleaned out Beatrice's cage,watched the race and fell asleep during it again. Jr didn't win, boohoo!!! Anyway I was way to tired to go to Small Group at church so I stayed home. After thirty minutes of sleep I got up and my family and I went to Glory Days Bar & Grill. I got the Chicken Strips Platter. It was muy delishioso!! Then I went home and have been on the computer since.

Church & NASCAR

This morning at eight o'clock my loving Mother woke me up saying "Wake up and get dressed for Sunday School. Like always I was the ONLY one dressed for Sunday School at eight thirty. Everyone else in my family will be running around in their PJ's looking for shoes or Bibles with of course those certain people who wait the last minute to take a shower and make us ALL late. But now I think about it we were right on time because Sunday School starts at nine o'clock and we got there at nine o'one. So technically we were not late. Anyway, in Big Group we sang "Pharaoh,Pharaoh" and some other songs. Then came the smaller Sunday School classes. I am stuck with a bunch of immature boys,two clique-like girls and one girl a little younger than me whom I mentioned in my last post who's name is Anna. Anna is a pretty fun girl to "hang" with but she is often not at Sunday School because her family and herself get sick a lot it seems. They must not have very good immune systems or something.Well... we did a obstacle course which some how had to do with the lesson about leading your friends to Christ. After Sunday School came Worship Service. I used to enjoy Worship Service but now it is all boring. The songs are VERY boring and slow and is it enough they use an organ for EVERY song!!! I would rawther be in the Nursery helping in some way or another than being bored. Soon after the Worship Service my family and I went home. I do what I normally do on Sunday Afternoons: dump out Beatrice's bedding and put new bedding in and read a book. Today though at two thirty was the Daytona five hundred. I watched the first few laps but then I fell asleep. I tend to fall asleep when I watch races now. I guess I am just getting old(LOL). I woke up and there was only a few more laps to go but I had to go to Small Group at church. My Mom taped the end so I was able to watch it when I got home.Anyway, in small group we did the normal "Break-the-ice" kind of thing where you learn about each other and stuff. The only other girl in my group is Sara. Sara is ok but she is higher in the "Youth Food chain". Right now since I am in seventh grade I am considered scum of the earth because I was a sixth grader last year. Once you hit eighth grade your position in the chain gets higher and higher until you are the Big Kahuna in Youth.Anywho I went home and watched the end of the race. Jr. was in first for a lap in a half but then that no-good-stinking-rotten-trophy stealer Jeff Gorden got up front and won the Daytona five hundred. When I think Jeff Gorden I think a evil cynical man. Jr. on the other hand is like his Daddy: Cool,a little tuff around the edges and all around ok guy. After watching the end of the race I turned the channel to ABC to watch Extreme Homemakeover. I was disappointed because I only got to watch the last few minutes of it. Then I watched Sue Thomas F.B eye on PAX. Let me just tell you Sue Thomas F.B eye is one of those better detective shows to watch. They don't show bloody scenes or people making out. One episode even had God mentioned in it bunch of times. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone!! It comes on PAX every Sunday night but I don't know what time you will have to check that part out on the T.V guide.

AWANA Biblequiz

Yesterday at 5:30 my Mom woke me up and I took a shower. After I got dressed and ready we left to go to the church. WE didn't go straight to the church we took a little detour to doughnut Connections and got a twelve pack of doughnuts that we all ate on the way there.When we first got there;there was hardly any people in the building. Maybe after a half hour people started arriving.The whole church we were at was abuzz with nervous kids,parents and coach's. First they Biblequizzers took the written test. Last year some boy got too nervous and threw up but I didn't hear that it happened again this year(thank goosiness!!!) Soon after the Written Test they had the opening and explained the rules etc.. Like a herd of buffalo all those kids came out of the sanctuary ready to stampede. I was the person in the gym who pushed the reset button during Speed Round. This year almost all the Paddle round was in the Sancturary and the Speed Quiz was done in other rooms. The first group that was in the Gym was Second Book. The #10 group was the people who buzzed in the most. Some of the other teams kept pushing the button when they didn't know the answer which drove me CRAZY!!! After Book Two came the Book One Group. I did do that book last year so I knew most of the answers to the question. Alex and Taylor were in this group and I thought they did very well. This one kid in the very last seat who was on a team by himself kept pushing the button after the question was answered.He made me very aggravated!!! Normally the AWANA Biblequiz goes until four o'clock but the guy who organized all of it cut down the time till one o'clock. After both Groups we unset everything like the quizbox and the buttons into boxes. All the AWANA Ministry people which includes my family went to Fudruckers. I got Ragin Cajun and Chili Cheese fries. It was REALLY GOOD!!! Maybe after an hour or so we went home and my Dad took a thirty minute nap and I played basketball with Jamie. I shot my first basket and it went in I shot a basket to the side and it went in. I did pretty well I think. After thirty minutes we went to Jamie's Upward's game which was vs. The Suns who they won against a couple weeks ago. Jamie's team lost by one point.After his game we went back home and Jamie and I played some more B-ball.When it got dark we came in. My Mom ordered Pizza Hut pepperoni pizza,hot wings and breadsticks. The pizza was good but the bread sticks tasted weird. I think they used the cinna stick bread instead of the breadsticks. At seven o'clock Dad came back downstairs and we watched the Budweiser Shootout.Sadly Jr. didn't win;Jimmie Johnson did. I hope Jr. will win the Daytona 500 because it would give him a start on points. My Mom,Dad and Jamie fell asleep so I was watching at ALL by myself. After the race I turned it to TLC and watched Town Hall. It was the episode when they finished the Teen Lounge and redid some old lady's office. Then I turned it to Food Network and fell asleep while watching Iron Chef which is in Japanese with English people interpreting what they are saying. It is a weird show that I tend to fall asleep during a lot.

Super Bowl 2004

Last night my Mom,Dad,Jamie and I went to my Dad's friends house to watch The Super Bowl along with some other kids and their parents. When I first walked in the door I was awe struck;their house was big and colorful. Anna(the man's daughter who was hosting the party) and all the other kids and I went upstairs to Benjamin (Anna's brother's) room to play pop the balloon. I really don't like the sound of balloons popping so I watched them play. Then I went back downstairs (which was two levels down) and snacked on goldfish,crackers with cheese and pigs in a blanket. They were muy delishioso(cudos to the cook). Before the Game started the Black Eyed Peas sang "Where is the love?". I was the ONLY person in that room to ever have heard that song. Soon after the song the Game started. The Eagles won the coin toss;so they got the football first. I think I watched the football game for at least twenty minutes. Anna and I got bored so we went upstairs to watch "Zoe 101" with her sister Vivian. The episode that we watched was the one that Logan stuck a stuffed bear which had a camera hidden in it so that he could find out embarrassing secrets about the girls. I found out that Anna has a cute little furry bunny rabbit. Anna said that they are planning on breeding her so MAYBE I MIGHT get a wittle bunny wabbit!! After "Zoe 101" I went downstairs and watched more of the Super Bowl. Then I got bored and went back upstairs and Anna and I talked for a while about Youth Group and stuff. Maybe after thirty minutes or so of talking we went downstairs and watched the last couple minutes of the Game.The Patriots won the Eagles lost BIG whoop. Then we got our shoes and coats on and said "Goodbye!".

Ballet and Tap and Chachi

This afternoon I went to Ballet and Tap. It was snowing a lot when I got there but it wasn't sticking to the roads. So towards the end of Ballet Emily's knee started to hurt . Well in Tap we ONLY went through our dance once. Emily sat and watched while all of us and her sister(Amanda who only tapped when she was four and then quit) who "filled" in for Emily.All she knows is shuffle-step-shuffle-step-shuffle-ball-change-shuffle-step (My Dance friends would know this combination). It was pretty funny watching Amanda make a fool of her self.It was so hard to concentrate on dance steps when you are laughing. But I remembered to do the parts I messed up on last time. Maybe laughter is the cure for mistakes;instead of good medicine.After laughing my head off I went outside with my dance friends (Who's names are Elizabeth,Emily,Laura,Kaylyn and Amanda) and called our parents to tell them that Dance class was closing early.Would you think it is pathetic if some one couldn't remember what the first three numbers in their phone number is?? Well that was me!! I am so used to dialing 1-804 on cell phones that I almost kinda forgot the first three numbers of my phone number. So I had to think hard to remember. Then it hit me "763 Ahh I remember now"!! Then I called my house. Well lemme put it this way..." I was sitting inside the Dance studio for half an hour just sitting or doing grande jetas in my bare feet like you do in Lyrical; (more dance words) in the hall way and yes I was making a fool of myself but when you are bored you put your new dancing skills to use!! Anyway after the half hour of boredom Mark Aaron FINALLY picked me up from Dance. I got home I watched "The Happy Days 30ith Anniversary and no, my Mom did not make me watch it;I wanted to watch it out of my own free will thank you very much!! It was actually was pretty funny. I even learned something Joanie Loves Chachi.

First Day of Co-op

This afternoon at twelve thirty we picked up Susannah at her house and went to Co-op at SCBC. Before Co-op Susannah and I are taking a sewing class with a few other girls and their mothers. We learned how to sew a button and how to hem. I did well doing the button but the invisible hemming I kind of did bad at but o'well that is what practice is for!!! After sewing we went down to a building and everyone got the annual This-is-what-is-gonna-happen-if-you-misbehave-and-this-is-where-your-classes-are-going-to-be lecture. The lecture was boring. Going on... After the boring lecture we went to our class rooms. There are three boy (named Nolen,Matt and Josh) and two other girls (named Sarah and Susannah) First we have Public Speaking Class. It went well and it doesn't have a lot of home work. Next came Creative Writing. I thought it was pretty fun and the homework we have to do in it is pretty fun. Last but not least (intro music:dum,dum,dum,dum)Science. Science has a TON of homework!!! We have to look up two historic scientist a bunch of science words and conduct a experiment.When the teacher asks questions I am the only one to answer the questions. Everyone else in the class acts stupid. Oii it makes me angry!!! Anyway moving on Where my classes are there is absolutely NO bathrooms so I had to hold it and wait till I got to the next building.Well that plan sounded simple but I dropped by at the Parents Lounge and my Mom gave me a box to carry to the other building. I did what she told me. When I tried to open the door that leads to the bathroom door it wouldn't open so I knocked on it and someone let me in. Some little boy was in the bathroom so I waited. Just my luck that the little boy doesn't know how to aim!!! So I was holding it all the way home. How is it that I am so unlucky? I mean I don't think it is a coincidence that when I use the restroom there is never any toilet paper left. So every Christmas I get a bunch of toilet paper rolls for my use only. Anyway I watched American Idol and the after that I watched The Amazing Race.

Rockets vs. Heat

This morning at ten o'clock I had to wake up and get dressed. Jamie's Upwards Game wasn't until twelve but he was getting his pictures taken at eleven. For some odd reason I was the ONLY person in my house ready to go. Everyone else was either sleeping or still in their PJ's. Normally I do not want to get out of bed but on occasions when you need to get somewhere early like Sunday School or Upwards pictures I seem to want to get out of bed more. I think it was maybe ten thirty when we finally pulled out of our driveway(ok it really isn't a driveway.It is more like the place were we park our cars). So we finally got to St. Marks United Methodist Church was about ten fifty something. We went in the building Jamie got his picture taken(which he absolutely hates having done). I tried to read my Dear America Book while I was waiting for his basketball game that was a hour away to start. Long and short of the story is that I wasn't sitting by my Dad so I had basically had no clue what in the world was going on except that Jamie's team was named the Rockets and the other team was the Heat. The Rockets won sixteen to eight and Jamie made four baskets . After the game I heard from everyone on the Rockets that the Heat wasn't getting penalized on a lot of stuff like traveling etc.. but they were. Maybe they Refs didn't see some of the stuff maybe they did and just wanted the Heat to win. Well no matter God knows what they did and when they get to Heaven they will have to take it up with God. Well after that I went home was bored out of my mind with insanity because there was no one to talk to on Instant messenger or to do on the Internet.

School and Dance

Today I did School and went to Ballet,Jazz and Tap. My Math Lesson was a pain-in-the-butt because we are doing STUPID pre-algebra. After School I checked my email and tried to Instant message my friends but none were on. Now that I think of it I haven't Instant Messaged Emily,Tessa or Laura in the longest time. Anyway at four o'clock I went to Ballet. Everything was ok except what everyone in our class dreads is when Mrs Jessica video tapes us so we can look at our mistakes and fix them. After Ballet came Tap. We did really well in the beginning of Tap but towards the end we started getting sloppy. Then came Jazz. Mrs Christy is going to have a baby soon she isn't supposed to be streching or anything but she likes to so we have to urge her to sit down and just call out instructions. So we streched while she told us what to do. The rest of Jazz we practiced our dance called "Rhythm Nation" by Janet Jackson. Although her history is stained due to garment malfunctions at the Super Bowl the song we are dancing to was way before that happened. I think that Jazz is my favorite class next to Mr. Chris's Pointe. Anyway after Jazz Mark picked me up and we went home. For Dinner I had French Fries and tried to watch T.V but nothing good was on. And that is how my day went!!

Piano,Pointe and AWANA

This morning I listened to AIO (Adventures In Odyssey).After that I practiced my Piano and read my devotional. Then I did my school work.When I finished school I went to my Piano Lesson. I am learning how to play the song "Great is the Lord" By Michael W. Smith. Then I went to the Library. Finally they had some new Dear America books. I got four of those and one Mary-Kate and Ashley book. So I think I will have plenty to read for two weeks. After about a half hour in the Library I went to my Pointe class which is taught by Mr. Chris. One thing about Mr. Chris is that he makes Pointe fun.He isn't like Mrs Jessica who is strict and mean. Mr. Chris is more easy going and nice. I hope I have him again for Pointe next year.After Pointe I went to AWANA. I changed out of my leotard and into my leaders uniform in the girls bathroom.For Dinner at church I had ham,peas,mashed potatoes and a dinner roll. Everything tasted pretty good. Soon after Dinner AWANA started. Of course all my kids were sitting quietly in the pew on the front row while all the other kids on the other teams were standing and talking. Tonight's theme in AWANA was "Eating Healthy". They had a nutritionist who talked about the food pyramid etc... Do you know that they have classes for five year olds about what to eat?? I mean really what five year olds really care about the food pyramid and eating veggies??? Anyway after Council Time came Game Time. Game time went smoothly except for at the end when Frazil fell and twisted her ankle which I think was only a minor accident.Then came handbook time.Nicolas had a baby brother named Alexandro (if you can tell the family is Italian) and I guess he didn't have much time to study so he only said one verse, Charlotte on the other hand said three,Katie wasn't there because her whole family got sick and my little rebel Logan didn't say anything but did try to say a verse or two to my Dad (The Commander).After Handbook Time I went home with my Mom because my Dad had a meeting at church. I got home dropped all of my stuff on the chair and went to watch fifteen minutes of American Idol. I am so angry because I wasn't able to watch the first part tonight of American Idol because my stupid VCR didn't record it.O'well I will be over it by the time I get married!!

Boringness

Today all I did was listen to AIO (Adventures In Odyssey) and Down Gilead Lane. I did school after that. When I finished School I got online and tried to Instant Message my friends but none of them were on except two. So I basically went back and forth between watching T.V, Instant Messaging and printing and coloring My Scene paper dolls. Tomorrow(hopefully) I will have more to write about!!

The Weather Meteorology Field Trip

This morning at eight thirty Jamie, Mom, a couple of our friends and I went to Wakefield Weather Center with our Homeschool Group. When we got there everyone else was already inside of the building. So we went in the small looking building and sat in a small room with a bunch of our Homeschool friends and aquaintinces.The man who spoke was a little big with a tie that was too short. I think he talked and answered questions for like an hour and a half. It was rather dull and boring for me because a lot of the stuff he talked about I already knew and understood. There was a lot of little kids so I guess that he was just trying to make things easier to understand. After a hour and a half of boredom we went outside to see the humongus soccer ball on a stand which is really a Doppler Radar. It is gigantic;I wish I was able to climb up the stairs that would be wicked cool. The guy who talked for a hour in a half took our picture. Then we all got in the van and drove to Subway. I got the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki with Coolers Ranch Doritos and Mountain Dew Code Red. I was very full after that. A half hour later we got home. I can't say that going to Wakefield and hearing a guy speak about something I already know about was the best part but getting Subway for lunch was!

Freaky Sunday

Today feels nothing like a Sunday. I mean this morning I didn't wake up to hear my Mom scurrying around getting every one ready for Church. We weren't hurriedly going out the door although we were five minutes late already to Sunday School. I wasn't tired from staying up too late during Big Group before Sunday School. I wasn't shivering during Worship Service because they ALWAYS have the AC on during the Winter. Today I woke up at nine o'clock to a quiet house. I was not tired for some odd reason. I got out of bed put my bathrobe on and went upstairs checked my email my friends Blogs etc... Then I went down stairs watched T.V After I did that for a while it was about one o'clock. I took a long hot shower and got back on the computer. It feels so weird. If I didn't look at my Calendar I would have thought it was Saturday. I feel like a heathen because I didn't go to Church today but hey I can't help it if God decides to make a freezing rain storm on Saturday night. I guess almost every other Church was closed today due to inclement weather so I shouldn't feel all that weird about it.

Icy Mess 2004

Well it is freezing rain outside my window. The roads are icy along with anything the "stuff" touches. My little brother was supposed to have an Upward Game today but because of inclement weather it was cancelled. So basically my Saturday has been limited to reading,watching T.V and going on the Internet and talking to friends on my Instant Messenger. Which now that I think about it isn't all that bad. I am severely bored out of my mind. I want to so badly get out of house and do something but because of this "Lovely" freezing- rain- weather I can't go anywhere or do anything. So I guess I will have to appease my boredom and do something like watch more T.V,read some more of my book and talk to some more friends on Instant messenger!!!

More Snow To Come??? 2004

Today the snow we got yesterday and the day before melted into a pile of water or slush. Everything outside is wet and nasty. Once again they are calling for snow again tomorrow. Maybe the snow won't turn into slush again tomorrow like it has been doing after each snow fall this week. I have a feeling that the roads will get black ice on them all over them again and there will be lots of wrecks. I think the worst part of it snowing off and on is that after it snows it melts in 30 degree weather during the day and then at night it gets in the 20's and below. So I guess I will have to wait and see what happens!!

More Snow 2004

Well you guessed it " It is snowing again!!!" This time at least it might snow more than an inch. The weather guys (and gals) are predicting at least three or four inches this time. The snow this time is more compact; good for making snowballs to throw at those younger annoying brothers, but not so good for cars. From yesterday's snowfall there were a guesstimate of over a hundred car wrecks from black ice etc... So as that Marks & Harrison commercial goes "Shape up all you reckless drivers out there!".
