fun day

Today was pretty fun. the first violinist im my quartet and his mom and his sister came over to our house to swim. My mom and their mom just layed on a springfloat matress thing in the pool and us kidz tossed a volleyball around. It sounds kind of boring, but it really wasn't. It was so much fun cuz we laughed a lot and the sister and i attacked the brother with the ball. Good times, good times. They went home after about two hours though and both my dad and my brother were at work the whole time. But it was fun overall.

the perfect dress

So my mom and i went shopping today. I wanted a sundress to wear to my grandparents' 50 anniversary party. We went to a bunch of stores, and we were out for hours. First we went to the dress barn--if we were going to find the perfect dress it would be there--but the clothes there are pretty expensive and all their dresses were too fancy. I actually came across one dress that i really liked but it was too big and they didn't have smaller sizes in it. So then we went to tjmax. They had some cool stuff there but their sizes run small and so all the dresses i liked from there didn't fit me. So then we went to macys and looked in both the misses sections and the womens sections, (i'm right in between the two), but we didn't find any dresses that fit me right. By the time we had gotten to macys i had given up and i was willing to go with something on the fancy side. But since macys was in the mall, we decided to go to another store in the mall to look and if we didn't find the perfect dress then we were going home and wearing a shirt and skirt to the party, which i didn't really want to do because i had been wanting a sundress for a while now.

So the last store we looked in was newyorkandcompany. We found it. It was a simple low-cut v-neck knee-length pinkish dress in exactly my size. Not too fancy, but not too bland. Its one of those dresses that only tall people can really pull off. Which is perfectly fine with me since im 6' tall. I can wear it and dress it up or i can wear it to school with a black cami and black leg-warmers underneath. It's adorable. My next mission is to find some pink peace-sign earrings to match. I finally found my perfect dress and im gonna wear it all the time. There's a picture at the bottom... not too great of a smile, huh?

lyrics to Feels Like Fire (by dido and santana)

I'm telling u its over
now there's an angel
holding me
my way's easy
even if ur fallen
o ur strugling
there's still beauty
in what we do

so a que sera
lets go sailing on
theres a wise man
in ever fool

i say come back
come in from the cold
into the warm
i feel like fire
guiding u back home
as darkness falls

so everybody stands in line
cuz the wanna stay alive
to w8 alone
no dog no bone
and then u find its over
and o it tears ur heart
to slip away
from the crowd

but if u have what it takes
to return to where
all the world
knowns ur name
then a que sera
lets go sailing on
there's a wise man
in every fool

i say come back
come in from the cold
into the warm
i feel like fire
guiding u back home
as darkness falls

so a que sera
lets go sailing on
there's a wise man
in every fool

i say come back
come in from the cold
into the warm
i feel like fire
guiding u back home
as darkness falls

i say come home
leave it all behind
and settle down
i feel my love
give me what i want
for all time

for all time
i feel like fire

captain billie's crab house

Well, as i said in the last post, its my mom's birthday so we went to captain billie's crab house to celebrate. We had crab legs and shrimp and hush puppies. It was really good. When i looked out the window at the water i saw my gym teacher from last year. She was working there for a summer job. I resisted the temptation of ribs... i guess the whole vegetarian thing is going well for me. Sometimes i feel like i HAVE to have meat and then i take a bite of it and its not as good as i remembered. I've decided to try to trick myself into thinking that every meat from a cow or pig or bird is going to taste disgusting. I don't know how well it will work....

Anyway my mom had a decent time i thought. My brother and i had fun in the car on the way back. My dad wasn't too happy the whole night but im not really sure why. When we got home, my brother and i took the trash and the recycles out and then everybody but me went into the family room to watch some history movie that i know i wouldn't like. I was the only one who just came into the computer room and started on my blog, no movie. I needed some alone time i guess. I might actually go to bed at a decent time tonight, too, cuz im pretty tired. The whole chair thing got me up this morning... (see last post)...

I wanna give a shout-out to my best friend lulu who im pretty sure will read this blog. ILY LULU!!!!! UR THE BEST! SEND ME AN EMAIL AND ILL TELL U HOW TO GET INTO MY BLOG SO U CAN TALK TO ME!!!
Sometimes i wonder if anyone reads this blog... there's not much here to read so i guess not... if u do send me an email id love to talk to my fans (XP)!

happy birthday, mom!

Hey guess what?  Well im assuming u guessed it because the title gave it away... XD... Well what u were supposed to guess was that its my mom's birthday.  I'm not telling u her age, but i can tell u that she LOVES peanut m&ms.  I don't even know why.  In my opinion, m&ms are bad quality chocolate, and anything with nuts and chocolate i just don't like.  Except for walnuts in my fudge.  Gotta have the walnuts.  But idk, i guess they have like some sentimental value to her or something... at least thats the case with her obsession with rootbeer floats... She is completely going crazy that an a&w is gonna open up near our house soon!  Too bad its paired with a longjohnsilvers.  O well i guess we won't eat from there, we'll just drink our root beer floats...

K, i think im done rambling now.  Anyway all she really wanted for her birthday were a couple of lounge chairs for out by the pool.  (o yeah we have a pool in our back yard.)  So the easiest place to get these particular lounge chairs is sams club, so we went there yesterday to get the chairs.  Sams club was PACKED.  So we decided to come back today early in the morning and be one of the first people there to get those stinking lounge chairs.  We asked a guy who worked there when they opened and he said seven in the morning.  So sure enough we woke up at about six thirty--which is really early for me considering that ive been sleeping till noon as of late--and we checked the website just in case the dude got it wrong.  Sure enough he did, and it opened at ten.  I woke up at the normal person's equivalent of three in the morning to go there and it opened at ten.  So i went back to sleep and woke up again at nine thirty to go get the chairs.  We got there and there was a line at the front door.  A line to get into sam's club.  I'm not even kidding.  So we were about the thirtieth party of people in there, which isn't so bad because the store is so flippin big, so we went and we got the lounge chairs. 

We brought the chairs home along with doughnuts and coffee.  My brother ate two of the bear claws and we only had four, one for each person.  So my dad went without a bear claw.  Poor dad.  So we gave my mom the birthday cards out by the pool while she was sitting on one of her brand new lounge chairs.  Mine played the limbo rock and said that i wud bend over backwards to make sure her party rocked.  Haha, get it?  Anyway my brothers card said happy birthday can i help u eat the cake and had two little weird hamster things that sang an odd version of the birthday song.  My dads card said happy birthday and that she didn't have to stay in bed all day unless she wanted to and it showed a picture of a bear in bed with hearts in his eyes... a pretty G-rated way to say that i guess...

Anyway her birthday's going great, shes been happy all day as far as i can tell.  She keeps finding little mini bags of peanut m&ms that i stashed in places for her to find.  She smiles every time she finds one, which i didn't expect.  I'm glad the m&m plan worked well...  Later we're going to Captain Billie's crab house cuz shes been craving crap legs.  I'm gonna tell the waiter to completely embarrass her and get a bunch of people to sing the birthday song to her in the middle of the restaurant.

Um, i think thats it...  HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!

*hugs*
