This week

Well, good things happened this week. But, I didn't post. Mainly because I didn't have a computer to post from ;) So...

Monday: Not too bad. Weeded my gutter... of baby maple trees. Then went driving for an hour. Now I can sort of park!

Tuesday: Again, fairly pleasant. Got to drive for about half an hour. Now I can go around cars, and I can drive at 30 mph! Then went to the Tuesday night EMF meeting. Then went to the "Committee on Nominations and Lay Leadership Development" meeting. This was funny for several reasons. The humor mainly came from the age split: there is clearly a group of 'old people' and a group of 'young people.' We also decided that LiT is better than most other leadership teaching things out there. We looked at a leadership teaching thing which looked really slick, but which cost way too much for what you got ($450!!).
Then, I talked to MaryCarol for a little while. Turns out, I've officially done it! I've broken into the LiT leadership! Yay! But this creates an odd prideful feeling in me. "I'm so honored." "Well, why? Shouldn't I expect to be put into leadership positions? Everyone tells me I'm great..." "Isn't that getting a little prideful? Isn't that bad?" "Umm..." grrr.

Wednesday: Not the bestest day ever, but still relatively pleasant.

Thursday: Not much happened today. I kick derriere at this game I'm playing. Took my siblings (Debbie, Rachel, and Jon) to swim practice today. Got to talk to some people I haven't seen in a while. I might be able to get a job there, cuz one of the coaches is leaving in a month or so. Except for CYMA, and maybe VBS too... And we have a new head coach (for the second year in a row). She's been in 8 other coaching positions... hm... I suspect because she's not the greatest coach! Her sets look ridiculously easy, I don't care if these aren't USS-quality swimmers!

Friday: Worked on the tent today. Mainly, I filled in the ditch I dug some of the other days I was working (lol). Then, there's mime in an hour and a half. I'm looking forward to that.

VeggieTales quote of the day: "Great! Cuz I've always wanted to be a chicken!"

yesterday

Yesterday was fun.

Church was fun. I got lots of funny looks from lots of people :P

After church I went over to the Olenick's house. I shouldn't have gone, cuz Blake thought he was having other guests, but oh well. Then, they didn't show up, so he (re)invited the Powells and the Blackburns.
We got in the pool around 5. Daniel did a full double front flip; David was jumping in with Kristina in his arms or on his back or shoulders; and I did several backslaps trying to replicate one of the tamer things Daniel was doing.
And their diving board was (again) cracked by Daniel (who else?). As far as I know, you can still go off it, you just can't jump as much on it, and you have to be careful.

Then I went back to church. We pretty much just sang hymns in the service; Clarice can sing while reading. After the service, we walked down to the Firewall where they were having a Memorial Day cookout.

Then when we (finally) got home at 9:30, I was reading Les Miserables. The part I was reading was actually interesting, so I was kinda disappointed that I was still falling asleep during it. Not from boredom, but just from tiredness! So I went to sleep.

Happy Day

Today was a happy day. So was yesterday.

David came to Nexus yesterday evening (thank you!). We talked about a lot of different stuff, starting with magic and going through many other things, including peace, church politics, and the world economic status.
Then we played Keesdrow. Very fun game. It's sort of like, Boggle meets Scrabble meets strategy game =D

Then, today.
Church was actually not that great, for some reason =/

After church I got to go over to the Olenick's. There, we did fun stuff.
We ate (duh).
The Blackburns came over.
At that point, we officially "christened" their pool :D
Then played Big Boss Little Boss. (Daniel made a track in the upper level of their barn, and drove a scooter around it very fast.)

Then, we went back to church. The evening service was better, a little.

Then, several funny things were said by my mother. Including, "I keep forgetting you were gone the whole day." lol

Then, we went home and my internet wouldn't work for almost an hour. :|
