TGIF

wheeeeeee!!!!

saw some sketchy characters at Barnes & Noble tonight.

that was fun.

oh, and I also saw the chairman of the school board and his wife, but that is of no correlation to the guys-in-baggy-pants reading Genesis 19 (of all things) at the table across the aisle.

new things

Today, I stepped out of my comfort zone.

I showed up for a government exam unprepared.

I wrote a speech to give at my school event tonight... in the 45 minutes before I had to be there.

I showed up to run through The Precious Blood with Doug, who was to accompany the Girls' Ensemble for the first time on that song, and since school was cancelled yesterday we couldn't practice then.

Doug forgot the music (my only copy), so I played it from memory. If you could call what I did playing. I think that's an insult to the piano.

I stood up and gave a speech I had never practiced and only had a detailed outline for.

I started crying in the middle of it.**

I completely deviated from what I wanted to say (read: skipped the last half because I was crying.)

And then I hugged people :P

*turns out he postponed the test.

**I allow myself allowance for 2 cries a year. Preferably not in public. NEVER in front of 200 people. But Mr V is leaving in March and I will miss him. And I was stupid enough to put the part about him in the middle and not at the end.

day off!

"I'm not really beefy..."
"No, you're more like a rump roast. Er, soft, and tender, and juicy."

:P

My family can be quite amusing.

I was not very productive today. I ought to have been. I'm going to make up for it by going to bed on time and throwing productivity to the wind (although I could get much done in this next hour if I so chose.)

I also made chemical experiments on my hair. That's always fun. And only sometimes results in an explosion. It didn't this time, for which I am grateful.

tuesday

I dislike Tuesdays. There is not much to look forward. So I made myself something to look forward by dressing myself in ridiculously saturated purple and hot pink and sparkles and my yellow-polka-dot hairbow (and it does NOT look bad! this was an accomplishment)... and then it snowed like a half inch and nobody came to small group. BOOOO.

But this is an Optimism Initiative, so... um...
I started piecing together my scrapbook?
And my cat let me pet him without biting me.

"Larry does not like to have her nails trimmed."

Wrote one of my best essays of the year, perhaps, today. Funny how you can get the most out of a really unenjoyable book.

PS- my mom played Boggle against three of my teachers today (including two English teachers.) Guess who won? Hint: not a teacher.

Sunday!

took it kinda easy.

Until we clipped Hummer's nails, that is.

So I made a video of it.

Then there was the evening service, which I love. And out of the 20 people in the congregation, 8 were wearing purple! (this may have been because of a certain football team, but I am choosing to disregard that.)

Kathryne

mmmmmmhahahah

I finished a Christmas present today. For a certain doofus.

:D
