I wouldn't be posting if I wasn't feeling spontaneous. Wait, say spontaneity. You don't say spon-ta-nay-it-ee, you say spont-nnn-a-it-ee. Wow. That's really really funny.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway. This has been a pretty crazy week. I'm going to do a little research from last year about this time. Ok, August 22. I made a list of babysitting statistics. Check it out. All I have to say this time is: I babysat 3 families in 4 days for 29 hours. And did VBS in the evenings. I don't remember too much of it, actually. haha. I was still pretty tired from RELAY. See guys, I got 5 hours of sleep because I knew I would be recovering from it for a week anyway, even though I didn't stay up all night! Read Fishy's or Gina's or Dory's Xanga if you want relay details.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today Meghan's coming over!!!! For a whole week!!! Well, probably not a whole week, because we're going to be in Atlanta this time next week. haha. Yup that's right, we're doing a TN/GA trip this year for our family trip. It should be fun. Scratch that, it WILL be fun.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, books everyone needs to read.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Anybodies/The Nobodies.
The Barbarian way.
There's a boy in the girl's bathroom. Sounds immature, I know, and it was written for kids who are younger than I am, but I still really liked it.
Small Steps. Decent book. you don't have to read this one. if you don't want to. The rest are all mandatory if you want to be my friend. Haha, just kidding. :O)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm wearing a new outfit. Or did. To church this morning. And, I'm wearing a new outfit to YOUTH GROUP tonight. I'm adding more blue and green into my wardrobe. I love the thrift store. You'd think we spend thousands of dollars on clothes, if you look at how many new things we get, but when every item costs about 3 bucks.... and when your mother trash picks--I mean recycle bin picks--I mean recycle bin peeks-- for coupons...like I said, I love the thrift store.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And. I don't know what else to say. So the spontnnnneity wore off. Byez!

Hi, guess who...me again!!
I guess I don't really have to post if I have nothing to say...oh yeah, I ran around the neighborhood twice this morning--13 mins and 16 mins. Let's just say I was pretty tired the second time. I felt awesome the first time, I could've run really fast if my lungs had just cooperated. They weren't so awesome.
Youth group last night was spectacular, we did a scavenger hunt--mostly scavenging in Jason and Angie's house, but that worked out alright because we could return things. =0) Well, my team (and my half of my team) mostly looked for common things in their house. It was quite fun to just hang out, but yall were right, I do think too much!! Haha! I drove there and back; it was nice to have somewhere to go that wasn't just driving around aimlessly. It'll be a happy day when I can turn smoothly, though!
And today we went shopping for dad, but we all got something for us (of course!!) I got a pair of socks with monkeys and bananas that say "Go Bananas" on them. ILOVEUM. And I got foundation that I can actually use. =0)
I think I'll keep this shortish, one cuz I can't think of anything else to say and two because I still need to practice piano and send several e-mails--both of which I fully intend to do today!!
eh...alrighty then...send me an e-mail, leave me a comment, IM me, give me a call, y'know. =0) Y'all rock! Luv ya!
Oh, and comment on Hannah's xanga. You all forgot about her. Dudes. http://www.xanga.com/theultimatelove or http://doryack.blogspot.com Either is fine, they say the same thing. =-D But you have to have a xanga account to comment on xanga. *=0)

quick checking in...:-D
Today I did a lot of cleaning. Cleaning the K's house (she paid us A RIDICULOUS amount of money, but we're grateful :-) and cleaning out closets for the garage sale. Oh, and my piano lesson today went quite well, surprisingly...I don't know why I was expecting it to be so bad...haha. AND Dad told my piano teacher my blog address, so welcome Ted! haha! I like having new people read my blog. :-D Maybe if I have Gina AND Ted reading I can talk about piano more, since it might interest some of the audience. haha. Not Gina Ted's wife, Gina...um...James' girlfriend. :-D But somehow I wouldn't be surprised if they knew each other. It would be surprising, but it's a small world.
Anyway, I'm kicking off babysitting tomorrow in a grand fashion--9ish hours. Lovely. But it'll be fun. And the garage sale is this weekend, most of which I'm missing, because once again, I'll be babysitting. :) And right now, Katie has to check out her SAT course. One of the balls to juggle, you know. You guys rock! *mwah*

Dudes and dudettes awaken...
So I guess I'm joining the circus this summer. Where else would you juggle a million and two balls while trying to keep everything balanced (on a high wire)?
Oh yeah, my life. *:0p
The title mostly refers to the fact that NO ONE (except my sister, of course) has commented, despite the fact that you were all clamoring for me to post...haha
In other news, tomorrow I'm going to have the worst piano lesson of my high school career, and there really isn't anything I can do about it. Yeah, that is as depressing as it sounds. Like, seriously, Hannah's more ready for her lesson and she just had one. So. Yeah. This whole summer, no-school thing has me really wrong footed, hence less practicing. What happened to my routine?? What happened to my predictability?? I guess you could say my boat just got rocked and it'll simply take awhile for it to stop and for me to get my balance. At least, I hope so. And I hope I do nothing to further rock the boat. We shall see...luv you guys!!!! *hugs and kisses* (e-hugs, not air hugs! haha, Kay! :-D) *mwah*
Oh and let's not forget that we still get Harry Potter and Ice cream at night--some things never change--at least, not along with everything else.;-)
Oh yeah, my life. *:0p

Ok, really truly now...
Right, I don't know why this week has been SO crazy, but it has. Well, just a lot of things that mean I"m not on the computer, like a rummage sale, which took 6 or 7 hours, the dance rehearsal, which took 3 or 4 (or 5 or 6--haha, jk) hours, and baking for the rummage/bake sale, which took 1 or 2 hours, haha I'll stop now. Oh, and a PAR-TAY, which took 3 or 8 hours, depending on when you left. *:0) Maybe I'll just post about all of those.
The party was so awesome! If you couldn't come, don't worry, we're definitely going to try to do that again (at least I am, haha), and if you could come, thanks for making it SO MUCH FUN. We basically played 4 hours of Mafia, an hour or so of Ultimate Frisbee (which ROCKED) and ate and talked and ate some more. And then later we played Apples to Apples. Muy divertido. Oh, and I think it should probably be recorded on my blog that I won my first ever (and probably only) game of Mafia where I was the Mafia!! I had to totally lie to Hannah's face, but that's the only time I'll lie (or kill, haha), so it's ok! I finally had enough practice being a townsperson to know what I'm like when I'm a townsperson. That way I could act like it without looking suspiciously different than usual.
Let's see, the dance rehearsal--I wouldn't call it "fun," but it was enjoyable. I love seeing everyone's dances, you all looked awesome! lylas! Everyone looks a lot more grown-up than last year. I still don't feel like I'm completely ready, but I think we'll do ok. I wasn't as nervous as I've been at past dance rehearsals, I think I'm not taking it as seriously. It'll be serious for the recital, though! Like, I guess what I mean is I don't feel like it's the end of the world if I mess up, just really disappointing.
Bake/Rummage sale: It went really well, we made an amazing amount of money, considering that I think the biggest amount any one customer spent was about $9. I think it was because business was slow but steady all day; I think there was a customer there the entire time except for the beginning and ending hours. I think too much. Hopefully things are going as well (or better) today, on day 2.
I baked banana chocolate chip muffins on Thursday for the bake sale, and you probably won't believe this, considering that I make them all the time, but it was the first time I've ever made them without Mom helping! haha! She usually puts them in the oven and/or washes dishes, you see. And then I made some oatmeal chocolate chip cookie batter (Abby helped :0) )and she helped us bake them after she got back from shopping. :-D
I can't believe school's over! Well, it's not truly over until Mom quizzes me on history questions and MY REPORT IS DONE. And then I'll start SAT/ACT courses and stuff, so I guess school's never really over, but, all the same...I'm still half-considered a junior now! I won't think about that for now...too weird! Oh, and since Copley doesn't get out for a few more days, James, Gina, Cayley and I can all be considered juniors at once! haha!
SUMMERTIME!!! wow............... ........................ IT'S GONNA SO TOTALLY ROCK, DUDE! I'm super super superrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!! looking forward to LT! I can't wait to get to know Bruce and Fishy better and meet all of Meg's friends (again) and have Angie going along (why have we always known more about LT than our leaders?? lol) and I really hope the guys can find a leader! I know they will in the end. :-) We should totally have a pre-LT lock-in/sleepover thing, maybe just for the girls!!!!!!!! I'm glad Gina can come too!!!!! yippeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm super super excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
