We are done!!!!

Graduation was today and there are no more parties to go to. I didn't go to any parties today. Lexsea, Jeff and my mom and possibly Corey went. I don't really know these kids, so it is kinda weird to go to them. I did have to wear a dress to graduation though. I also wore high heels. I wore my sister's and she wore mine acutally. Mine were taller than her's so I didn't complain.

Corey thinks people in Eldora may think he and I are dating so we were thinking bout fueling those rumors today. We didn't actually do anything we discussed such as holding hands and making out. Corey, my mom and I have spent much of the weekend together going to these parties, and many people have seen us together. We thought someone was looking at us at one point trying to determine if we were. It probably didn't help that he and I kept talking about me taking care of his unit. We were actually referring to his beeper and walkie-talkie thing for the ambulance, but we called it his unit because it sounded bad. He said if anyone asked him about us he was going to say we were. Corey is going to be 31 on Tuesday and I need to remember to send him a card or something.

I have been trying to decided when I am going to do all the stuff I want to do this summer, and I just don't know. Today my aunt invited me to go along on their road trip. They are heading out to the west coast, which was on my list anyway for obvious reasons. This way it would be basically free for me and I would get to spend some time with them and Josh, if it all works our right. I used to spend a week with them during the summer, but haven't been able to since I started working at the lab. My problem is I need money and taking vacations doesn't earn me money. If I knew what I was going to be doing at the lab this summer, that would help too. I was planning on doing RAGBRAI this summer again, but I dont' really want to because I want the freedom to do other things. That wouldn't make my dad happy, especially since he has already paid for it. At least RAGBRAI would be cheaper without me there. He wouldnt' have to buy me food.

I obviously have too much time on my hands since I have written all these long boring posts the last few days. Maybe I will go back to IC early tomorrow so I can go to work even though I don't have to. I need moeny so desperately right now. My mom knows this and is being great about it. She is even willing to help me with plane tickets if I need it just so I can work at the lab. She asked me to come home to clean the house which meant I missed out on two days of work, and she has been worrying about it the whole weekend. Sometimes I hate money.

I tired...

The graduation party went well. A bunch of my family came, even my cuz from Georgia. Lexsea got soooo many gifts. A lot of them were towels. I think I smell like a taco. I manned the taco meat most of the time. I think I missed the memo about wearing pink to the party. I wore a brown shirt and everyone else wore pink or another pastel color. I told everyone I wore brown in case I spilled taco meat on myself.

Tomorrow is graduation and then we are done. I totally forgot about graduation. When my dad left he said "See ya tomorrow" and I asked him why. I couldn't figure out why he was coming back.

I just made a pizza. I didn't eat a whole lot at the party. I think I eat dinner at this time a lot too, so I tend to get hungry around 10:00.

Josh's sister called me right before we left to ask who was on Saturday Night Live tonight. I got to talk to Josh too, which was nice.

I have to go do the laundry now and change into some comfier clothes. I don't think 'comfier' is a word, but I am going to use it anyway.

Dust Bunnies Attack!!!!

My sister and I spent about 4.5 hours cleaning the house today. Lex and the Swiffer bonded. She actually named two of the. We had dust bunny races and bunnies fell from the ceiling. We also started writing a musical about dusting. We have some good looking choreography. My sister choreographed the last musical they did, so I bet she will come up with some good stuff in the future. I was sneezing a lot today. I don't think the floor can ever be clean. We swept, then swiffered abou 3 or 4 times and there is still dirt on the floor. My sister actually saw a large June bug carrying around some dust bunnies the other day.

Tonight my mom, Corey and I will be going to graduation parties. My sister will also be going, but with her boyfriend and other friends. AFter that it looks like we will be setting up for my sister's party tomorrow afternoon. We still have some cleaning to do before then too. Lex needs to clean her room and we have to get stuff off the front porch. I forgot to grab a bra when I took a shower today and when I went out in a towelto get one Corey and Jeff were sitting in the living room. I love that!!! At least I warned them before I ran to the laundry room.

It seriously looks like we have weed growing near our porch. It wouldn't surprise me if we did. There is a lot of weird stuff under that porch.

My sister found me a belt with my name on it!!! Right on the end it says 'Chelsea Girl' and has a picture of a girl wearing a plaid hat. It's pretty cute, though it has more pink than I tend to wear at any one time. I better not loose any weight because I am on the last notch on it or I can just wear it with pants that actually fit. My mom also got me an anklet with flip-flops on it.

10:30pm...

The parties weren't sooooo bad. The food was good. You can tell it's small town Iowa when two of the three parties have BBQ pork sandwiches. Corey and I acted like little kids and picked on eachother the whole time. My mom claims Corey as a son because his parents are the same age as mine. He acts like my brother too. We tried to convince somone we were brother and sister, but then my mom ruined that by telling them we weren't. We actually threatened to go out and settle our differences outside at the last party. We just went and got more punch. After I signed one person book he signed on the same line "accompanied by the Rev. Corey Larson". He also put his cell phone and sunglasses in my purse and decided that was all I was good for. He is always trying to torment me as an older brother would. I guess he is pretty much the older brother I didn't have. If he hadn't come with us to the parties, I may have gone crazy. Dust bunnies, little sleep and graduation parties can do that to a girl. He was showing the remodeling being done on the parsonage, because I made him, and his new bathroom is as big as Josh's old room. It has two sinks!!!

We also set up for Lex's party tomorrow. I did help for a while. I even ran home to get some stuff my mom forgot. Then I found my bouncy ball in my purse and Jeff and I played with that for about 10 minutes. I have that boy trained well, I asked Lex to get me a bottle of water, since she was standing, and he went and got it for me when she refused. He also likes The Daily Show and Family Guy. I like him!!

I forgot to mention that Norpel called me as we were heading into of the parties. That didn't make me happy.

I took it again out of curiousity

Inigo Montoya

Which Princess Bride Character are You?
this quiz was made by mysti


I couldn't tell you what I did differently. I actually thought I wouldn't get Inigo, because I don't really hold grudges.

When I went to pick up my pictures today they only had two of my three rolls of film. They don't know where the other one is!!!
