thinking

I've been thinking about updating lately. I know, thinking and doing are two different things, but thinking is the first step towards doing.

I am baking a cake for Corrie's surprise party tomorrow. I hope it turns out nicely....

Everything's Changing. Thats the name of a song. It's so true. And even while we don't think that there is any change going on, there is. "But everybody's changing. And I don't feel the same" So true....

the long awaited update from me.

There! I am here! Shall we begin? Alrighty then.
I saw the Phantom of the Opera this evening. It was wonderful. I love the Phantom. I don't see why people don't like him...sigh. He's dreamy. Anyway...
Lets see......since I last did a true update, the talent show happened, a wedding happened, reffing happened, life happened, uh......., the Graduate Banquet happened, more reffing happened, a fun Sunday happened, and a good Monday night.
So, the talent show was fun. Sharon and I had fun doing our duet. There were a lot of good acts. I liked it much better than last year. It wasn't so busy and cram-packed with performances. Erin and Susannah were great as MC's.
Wow, I still can't get over PotO. Sigh............ ok anyway.
I went to Michelles wedding. I wore my dress. Yea. The wedding was sweet and pretty. The reception fun. We danced. ;-)
This last Friday was the Graduate Banquet. Corrie invited me to come over to her house and get ready along with Erin and Erin, Susannah, Stephanie and Ruth. It really was very fun! We all looked fabulous! And the actual banquet was very nice. Though Mr Lucas's message thing was alittle weird and boring. but hey, whatever. It's cool. Afterwards I went up on Main St with Sharon and Susie, and Chelsea, and Amy and John and Jordan and Ricky and Shawna and her boyfriend. It was very fun. Walking around in the darkness all dressed up. It was wonderful. So I got home about 11:15. Whoops. Oh well. It was still great. Oh, there are some pictures of the banquet.

Saturday was our last day of reffing--as far as I know, until the fall. So thats ok.
Sunday was church. It was good. I was in nursery. But I saw people.
Then we went to lunch with Bryan and Joel and Joy and Kate and Sam. Then we went to the park and played soccer and hung out. It was great!!!!!!! I was so tired ( and sunburned), but it was a good tired.
This morning I babysat the Kecks. It was good. Then this afternoon/evening we went to a party for Stephanie. It was really fun. Before hand we stopped @ Express Yourself to get a giftcard for Stephanie and I applied for a job there. I really need to get a job so I can get money for insurance. Sigh....I can't get my license until I can pay for the stupid insurance. Sigh.... so depressing. Erg.....................blah. :-( X-( SIGH SIGH SIGH!!!!
Tomorrow evening is the graduation ceremony. I think it's going to be great but also really, really sad. Or not sad, just emotional. :-D But still kinda sad. Like, no one that I am really close to is leaving except for Erin. Whaaa!!!!!! I think I'm going to cry when it comes down to the day she leaves on. Cause thats a big step. I mean, this is going to affect her for the next 5 or so years at least.
Erin, I know you have made the right deciscion, but it's still kind of weird to think of you not being here all the time. I have realized that as I grow and my dreams and life chioces change, so do those of the people around me and I can't assume that everything is always going to be the same forever. In fact, that would get rather boring. No, I'm not asking for huge changes to come now, just small, nice ones to keep things interesting. Anyway, back to what I was saying to you, Erin: I support you. You love the Marines and whats going to happen to you in there. Whenever you talk about it or something you've accomplished, you glow!!!!! And your enthusiasm is evident. It really is cool.
Alright. I must leave.
Love you much!
Laura

Sunday

Sunday by the CRANBERRIES

Oh, do you know,

Where to go, where to go?
Something on your mind,
Wanna leave me behind, wanna leave me behind.

You're spinning me around,
My feet are off the ground.
I dunno where I stand.
Do you have to hold my hand?
You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me...


Oh, when he walked into the room,
It happened oh so soon.
I didn't want to know.
Does he really have to go?
You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me...

And I couldn't find the words,
To say, "I love you."
And he couldn't find the time,
To say, "I need you."
It wouldn't come out right.
It wouldn't come out right.
Just came out all wrong.

You're spinning me around,
My feet are off the ground.
I dunno where I stand.
Do you have to hold my hand?
You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me...

Oh, do you know,
Where to go, where to go?
Something on your mind,
Wanna leave me behind, wanna leave me behind

Sigh. Nothing else to say.

Farewell!

It is a rainy life

I just did something I wasn't going to do, but did. It was weird. Well...anyway...

I might be going show shopping today. I really don't know. I need some black sandals. And then there were these ballet slipper type show that I just have to get! Oh my word. I sound so...shallow! Yuck! Ok, how about this, I really like them and would enjoy having them. Weird.

It is really noisy here. Becky is playing Canon in D and abusing the time on it, while making really strange noises with her mouth. I am listening to LaunchCast through my headset, and Sarah and David are being normal and running around the house being annoying. Sgh. Such is my life. I wish, no, long, for some mature conversation! I have babysat 4 times this week! Yes, I like the money and nothing against children, but, when people under 8 are all that one comes into contact with, one starts to feel as if they are not capable to even have a mature conversation! Oh will anyone save me? Yahoo!! Oh good, I like this song: I'm Gone by Alison Krauss. Sigh...it's so depressing. I love it. You're away from the computer right now. And I'm gone. Am I morbid? I like old dead houses and buildings and cemetarys. The time wasn't right. Will it ever be?

I'm in the talent show with Sharon. We're dueting. ;-)
Well, must finish up. Its cold. Good bye.
