It's been a while
Well, this'll probably get long so...since I'm considerate and use cuts when I know my entries are going to be long (*hint*HINT*) and don't want to make my friends friend pages clogged and what not (again with the hints) here you all are:
Well, last weekend was...busy. Saturday was the picnic, which went off reasonably well. I hit up all of my relatives for money, got quite a bit (marching band fundraiser) and mom got embarrassed, even though she's the one who told me to do it. Personally, I was kinda embarrassed too, but I made it clear that you didn't have to buy any candles/lotion/shower gel/cheap perfume (aka body spray) and I visited with everyone after they bought/didn't buy stuff, which is more visiting than I think I've ever done before. And my cousin Freddy chews. And to think I used to (still do to some extent even though YUCK!) find him rather...attractive. *cough* no incest though, and he's like, twice my age. Heh, although I did have a crush on his little brother Jeff when I was 3 (I was 3!! and Jeff is a good 10 years older than me...he was cute!) right, before I start making myself sound like a total red-neck from Arkansas...let me make it clear that I do NOT have a crush on any of my cousins anymore, and haven't since I was 6. *nods*
That day kinda sucked though, I had to ride with Mike and Shari, because there wasn't any room in the other car. At about 3 30 they decided to head home, so I had to leave as well, 10 min later some friends of the family showed up that I had been waiting for all day. Then when we got home they went downstairs, made out for half hour/ 45 min and then left for Fairbo's grad. party, without me. Mom and Dad went to his grad. party without stopping home first, so I didnt get to go. I was specifically invited by him, as was everyone in our family, but I got an actual invitation, not just a group invite. Piss. Me. Off. Then mom and dad come home and mom tells me how I didn't help out enough at the picnic, which I didn't, but I was busy. I was playing "chatty hostess" instead of "waitress hostess" I suppose. I also missed Wiconia Band Festival (parade) for the picnic, which was a hard choice, becuase it was our first parade and not to be cocky, but I have a rather pivital spot in the band. Ha, pivital...I'm actually a pivot during a gate move...right, I'm sure none of you got the humor in that.
Sunday was Father's Day (duh) and I got to see Dad all of 30 seconds. WHOOOOT! pictures, and Albert Lea Festival of Bands. 21 bands and 4 classes. We're class 3 A (2nd highest) and we got first. I'm guessing the judges weren't looking at me or something...because I sucked ASS. But that's okay, because I guess the rest of the band did great. We got a score of 69, which, for our second parade, isn't that bad, although I won't be satisfied until we get a score higher than 70 by a few points. We have 1-3pm practices Tues, Wnds, Thurs this week and Rochesterfest of Friday. and then Lake City Waterski Days on Sunday. Can we say HOT ladies and gents? I can't...I'm too busy sweating. And for some strange reason, I love it.
All in all, I'm doing alright, today officially marks one month until I move. Wish me luck. Man, I've got itchy feet, part of me can't wait to move. But I AM gunna miss everyone.
