January 1st-- the perfect day for some reflective thought. I hope everyone had a safe/fun/spectacular Christmas and New Year's! I am sort of in a daze after getting back from Orlando yesterday. We had a bball tournament there, and some theme park-hopping while we were at it =). I'm going to take Sajal's lead and do a 2003 recap. I'll try to do ( Read more... )

Hmm. I'm feeling very introverted today, and for the past while. I think it's this whole being-sickness and having no voice that does it to me. Today I got out of bed at 12:30...almost 13 hours of sleep! Badly needed. Dad called this morning, which made me happy. He comes home on Monday night, and Steph will be here Wednesday. Cousins come ( Read more... )

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Yay for four-day weekends, for the Stanford app being out of my control now, for ice cream parties at lunch time, for costumes, for trick-or-treating, for first quarter being over, for the weather being so beautiful, for amazing friends, for toe socks, and for a great three more quarters to come =)

I'm leaving for West VA on Sunday. Apparently the town we are staying in is EXACTLY like Coalwood. THe first night we are watching 'October Sky' the movie, which I saw in Minnesota with Uncle Chris & Uncle Mark and hated it. Compared to the book, it was awful! The trip should be lots of fun though -- Josie, Anna, Slammy, Brendan, T, Eliah, ( Read more... )

Hey all, I'm off to North Carolina for four days of basketball madness. (Team camp.) I know a lot of you are going places on the 6th or around then (Theresa that is when you leave, right?) Post or email your contact info or something, because I am going to miss all of you ( Read more... )

The thunderstorm was soooo pretty today. Szlammy&I attached out bikes to the car and drove to Jen's, biked with her to Hunters Woods for DQ ice cream. You know it is summer when not a single day goes by without ice cream! It was nice to finally get out biking, although the trails were uber-hard. We had to cross a few streams and even one POND ( Read more... )

Does anyone ever feel like there are a million things you want to do, but that you have no energy to do any of them? I think summer does that to me. So much free time, that we dream about throughout the school year, comes and goes without any feeling. Summer should be a storage bank of days that we can draw from at random points throughout the ( Read more... )

I got a response from the Reston Association people, and they did indeed have a spot available for a volunteer 'costume character'!! So on July 12th from 9:30 -1:30, I will be "Earl the Squirrel". Steven Young said he did the same thing a few years back. It should be fun! (I hope ( Read more... )
