FAIL

EIGHTY EIGHT

Yes... I know. BUT!!! I made it farther than PH or SB. I actually had pictures for up through a month after my last post, but my phone freaked out and deleted all. That's the truth, I promise. After I realized they were all gone, I said screw it.

Senior year has been CRAZY towards the end. But with AP exams over and classes pretty much pointless, it has gotten much easier.

I no longer work at the General Store Cafe! I can't work there over the summer while nannying L & C, so I decided to end my time at the Cafe mid-May so that my last two weeks of high school could be work-related stress free. I am now able to go to the last band concert, last orchestra concert, and plan my weekends as I choose, on my own time. I love it. :-)

Come June 14th I will start my summer with L & C. It looks to be a busy one, but we'll have a great time.


We got yearbooks today, and they are GORGEOUS. Props to the yearbook team this year, they are amazing. I think its a book I'll always be able to go back to and find something new, but it doesn't feel cluttered. The pictures are (mostly) of good quality and they show a wide variety of all kids at our school. It is a yearbook I'll bring to UWEC and be proud to say THIS is my high school. :-)

Flipping through it I saw 3 pictures of SE right off the bat. He passed away 5 weeks ago and it's great to be able to go through the book and see his smiling face and beautiful FRO. Love you, Sean!

BIG NEWS. The free iPod touch with a Macbook Pro deal came out yesterday at Apple. HOPEFULLY I'll get my Macbook for college soon. :-) My excitement is reaching a new high! Soon I'll be able to create a beautiful header for the blog, AFTER I learn how to actually use the computer... GD is up for the challenge.

I think that's all the updates I have for now... I'll be sure to keep posting regularly, but for SURE not daily. The countdown will still go on, I will still get 365 memories in this thing!! You will always get a picture or two with posts, maybe only a picture. I won't leave you high and dry too often!

Hosanna to the Most Highest

EIGHTY SEVEN


I don't work today. :-) It made me really happy. I usually work Sunday's and I hate it. SO.. I didn't today! I went to church where the girls performed their Signs of Praise song and waved palm branches in honor of our Lord and Savior entering into Jerusalem for the last week of his life. They did wonderfully and were adorable! Then I came home and did homework (Max came and visited me and sat right there watching. He looks a little bit freaky in this picture, but he heard something just as I was taking the picture and moved). Then me, Dani Kate, and Mom got pedicures before SPRING BREAK (1, 2, 3... only 4 days til I'm on a plane to MEXICO)!!!! Now I'm updating the blog! And I'm done. Now for homework and maybe watching Life on the Discovery Channel with MC, MB, and NC. We'll see how homework progresses.

Oh gosh. Here is a really ridiculous story.
KS sent me a picture of her hair that she did. She finally got it to curl and was really exciting, but to me, it looked NOTHING like her. And still doesn't to me. Her hair looks EXACTLY like MC's. KS's hair is darker than MC's, and this head of hair is EXACTLY MC's color. I don't know, maybe I'm going crazy. But I'm still super confused by it. Decide for yourselves, for those of you who know them: KS or MC?


Okay, looking at it now it looks like KS.

Saturday Extravaganza

EIGHTY SIX


Saturday was BUSY. Holy cow. Here it goes: Rehearsal on the main stage with the set from 9 to 10, then rehearsal with the pit in the band room from 10 to 11:45. Then girls makeup training sessions from 11:45 to 12:15, and men's makeup training from 12:15 to 12:45. Then home for 10 minutes, back to the high school (I forgot my wallet) then off to the spa from 2 to 3:30. Home for relaxation and recuperation. MC, KL, and I played listened to music and talked then MC and I played Wii and then we were off to OC at 7:30(second night in a row!) for AG's 18th birthday party! Then a bunch of kids came over after to hang out and watch TV/talk. It was really mellow.

Above is AW, KG hiding under a blanket (she was feeling anti-social. She gets that way after too much social contact), and MC not paying attention in the background.

BONUS PICTURES!!!


Beautiful LJ and KH. LJ's makeup was WAY too dark and orange. It was the exact color of KH's hair. SO FUNNY. Those poor boys. They just needed to practice putting it on, even if if was the wrong color. Very entertaining for me though!


JJS and LJ with their beautiful makeup on... JJS looked super pale and sickly, LJ looked like a carrot and is modeling his makeup line. Fantastic.

Woah, slacker

EIGHTY FIVE


Ya... Sorry about the slacking. It's been a crazy week. Friday, March 26th I got home from rehearsal early at 4:15 and just... sat. I did some show organization until mom got home. Then the two of us went to Old Chicago for dinner and then came home. I played Wii and listened to the radio for about an hour before watching a movie and going to bed. I went to bed at 11:07 on a Friday night. It was a loner evening, but I needed rest and to de-stress myself. It worked!

Sleepy, Sleepy Boy

EIGHTY FOUR


Thursday, March 25th was another night where I almost forgot a picture. I actually did my homework thursday night! Then watched Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice on ABC from 8-10 and then went to bed. Max has taken to sleeping really close lately. I moved his bed to a cart next to my dresser, so now he sleeps on top of the comforter against my leg and my pillow. It's cute and keeps me warm, but he takes up a lot of room and limits my movement... Oh well. I love him!

Everything's Alright

EIGHTY THREE


Wednesday, March 24th was a crazy stressful day. Production meeting for JCS during my open hour took away homework time, so I didn't go to church. :-( I didn't get a whole lot done, mostly because I was just too overwhelmed to have any ambition. But I went to sleep somewhat early and was THIS close to forgetting a picture. So this is my accumulation of papers and notebooks and other miscellaneous crap on the floor beside my bed. Pretty, no?

(Again, Everything's Alright is a song from JCS. Our KPJ does a fantastic job singing it, it is beautiful! Tickets HERE!!

Strange Things Mystifying...

EIGHTY TWO


So I woke up Tuesday morning with sores in the middle of my palms. They looked like bruises, but hurt like a deep cut. It was weird. I think my hands were clenched all night and my fingernails made the bruises. It's just weird though.

Tuesday I had rehearsal then work. CM and I worked together again and it was a great night. Lots of prep work and friends stopping by and yummy cookies. AND gossip. Which is why I love work so much. I'm actually going to miss it after i quit i think. :-(

(JCS has now taken over my life. Strange Things Mystifying is a really good song! Tickets HERE
