So This Is What Happened yesterday

I went to a teacher's meeting today for my homeschool group.  It's the first one since before summer started so it was exciting to see people again.  Although, certain Drama Club people were missing (gasp).  But that's not something to gasp at.  What's really to gasp at is Z-man's (most commonly known in drama club as game guy) new hair cut.  Originally his hair was down to his shoulders...or at least the last time I saw him it was.  But now it's at a normal guy's hair length.  Which, it hasn't been that short since I can't remember.  But Muppet also has a stunning new haircut and dye.  SO PRETTY!!!  It makes me wish I were blonde.  But the only blonde I ever have is my stupidity at times lol.  And the paint color in my room called blonde.

I also got the chance to see someone I have not gotten to see in years.  Literally.  I haven't seen her since 6th grade or something like that.  But we talked some at the beginning.  Ha ha!  And she still owns chickens.  My mother always wanted chickens when our deed restrictions went up but then they decided to say that you can't have farm animals unless their so-and-so yards away from the edge of your property yadda yadda.  Basically, if we wanted chickens, lambs, goats, cows etc., etc., etc. they would be living on our dining room table.  I doubt anyone would want a chicken staring at them while chowing down on KFC takeout.

So after I talked with her a while I felt obligated to meet and get to know Muppet's friend who, for safety precautions, will just go by H for the time being.  H kind of reminds me of the shyer version of Muppet.  She has plenty of siblings of whom I don't remember all their names.  But a couple of them came over to our little friend group (Muppet, H, and I) and drew random doodles in my doodle book.  H preceded to draw strange and cute creatures in my doodle book while I demonstrated what Cosmo Pluff from my new DS game looks like.  We mostly talked and listened to Francesca Battistelli, of whom H has both CD's of so we both knew what we were singing.

After the teacher's meeting ended we left H to go to our History co-op at the community college.  We discussed our history questions and answers after eating our lunch in the lunchroom there.  During this time my older sister went to her class and my brother read a random book.  So they were both preoccupied.

After history co-op we all went to Rita's to eat Italian ice.  Everyone except me seemed to have gotten mint chocolate chip, I choose lemonade because I felt very warm and sticky from the heat.  Also, lemons supposedly relieve stress.  Or at least smelling lemons does.

We went home and I finished up my history and TLP for the day and we went to Zumba...at Gold's Gym.  We have memberships now which is great because LA Fitness basically abducted all the fun out of Lifestyles.  Gold's Gym has a much warmer feel to it than Lifestyles does.  Maybe it has to do with the colors being so warm in there, but it just seems like a nicer, bigger, happier place than Lifestyles was when the LA Fitness stuff was taking over.  The instructor is pretty easy to follow and she has a great choice in music too.

Overall, yesterday was fun.  But now I'm a little sad because Muppet is going to California for a while.  But she'll be back soon enough.  In the meantime, next week is the first day of Drama Club.  So I'll be having fun with H that day.  But, unfortunately, I'm going to be quitting our homeschool group's Drama Club for a while because I'm already going to be using all of my leftover time to do the drama club at the community theater.  Plus, Drama Club isn't even going to be doing any performances of any sort for a while.  I'm not going to miss Muppet there because I'm already doing school with her plus we'll probably have a good share of opportunities to get together this year anyways.  I'll see the rest of Drama Club at the other teacher's meetings.  I'm sure I'll join it again eventually, but I don't have the time to do something so committing of my time right now.

This is the Stuff

This is living proof that I have gotten the hang of the Microsoft paint on this laptop computer of mine.  Yeah, my dad managed to make me happy by making my computer not only work, but he made it so that I have two computer monitors like I did last year.

I don't remember if I've complained about my computer on my blog because everything I say on the computer kind of gets jumbled in my head.  In case I didn't say anything (I probably did, I just don't remember), my computer, as in Cosmo the Pluffkin's computer, was not working.  It was, like, dying and stuff and it wasn't good, so my dad managed to fix it (I don't have a clue how, I'm not really that techno).  That was the good part.  The other good part is that I didn't lose any of my documents and now my computer has a newer set up to it and there's a clock in both corners of on of the screens.  It's pretty cool.

Also pretty cool, is that I had yet another epic sleepover with Muppet; this time, for her birthday.  We stayed up late, but not until four 'o clock like usual, watching movies, surfing the internet, laughing, talking, baking, and basically partying the night away.  It was a whole lot of fun.  We watched The Big Year on TV.  It's a comedy.  It was about birdwatching and it was interesting, for you out there craving good movies to see.

We were going to watch Avatar, but after The Big Year we decided to have 'present time'.  Muppet got a new Barbie, the first Edge Chronicles book, and Lady and the Tramp on Blue-ray.  So guess what we watched...Lady and the Tramp.  I swear I have not seen that movie in forever.  I remembered the dogs, but I couldn't remember the storyline.

Later we colored in one of Muppet's coloring books while listening to Jungle Jam.  If you don't know what Jungle Jam is, it's kind of like the life lessons of Vegietales combined with animals except on a radio show.  We always skip over the songs on it, though, because they are incredibly annoying.

Monday was another Confirmation meeting in which nobody would talk to me no matter how hard I tried.  Today I have Zumba with my ultimate favorite instructor in the universe.  Tomorrow...Hmmm....What could possibly be tomorrow....It'll be the twenty-ninth.  I'm trying to think of what could possibly happen tomorrow...  Ha ha! I'm kidding.  Tomorrow is Muppet's fourth and 16th birthday!
 Happy Birthday to my favorite Muppet!

LOL!  Isn't he cute?  You'll never guess who made him!  Me of course!  Cosmo the Pluffkin made him!  I can't wait!  She's going to wear this adorable new shirt she has that says, "It's finally my birthday" and has a little frog wearing a birthday hat.

Then she gets to sing the song I came up with:

Happy Birthday to me
I'm no longer three...

well that's all I came up with but then it could go:

Now that I'm four
you'll love me even more.

Yeah.  Then I start rhyming in my head again.

Ooh!  My sister is baking cupcakes for Muppet and she let me lick the beaters!  They were full of frosting yummy-ness.

So I have this song stuck in my head:

Beautiful
By: MercyMe

Days will come when you don’t have the strength
When all you hear is you're not worth anything
Wondering if you ever could be loved
And if they truly saw your heart, they’d see too much

You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred
You are His
You’re beautiful

Praying that you have the heart to fight
‘Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight
For all the lies you’ve held inside so long
They are nothing in the shadow of the cross

You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred
You are His
You’re beautiful

Before you ever took a breath
Long before the world began
Of all the wonders He possessed
There was one more precious
Of all the earth and skies above
You’re the one He madly loves
Enough to die

You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
In His eyes

Good song.  On Jesus Freak Hideout it has this quote from MercyMe about the song:

"This song was originally written with all of the band's daughters in mind, but the further I got into the lyrics the more I realized the message was something that everyone could relate to. It basically speaks of how the world says we are never good enough, yet Christ saw something beautiful in us worth dying for." - MercyMe

I'm going to, hopefully, watch some of the Ninjago TV series with my brother soon.  Oh, it's time!  Apparently they're funny.

HELLO EVERYKITTY! Guess what I did today!

You'll never guess because...  Because I'm awesome like that.  No but really guess what (GET TO THE POINT ALREADY)!

I went shopping at this awesome mall with my friend Muppet.  We bought all sorts of awesomeness.  That's because we went to Claires and some place called Tilly's and another place called Rainbow.  We got hats, and headbands, and shirts and chicken sandwiches.  Hmm...when I think of sandwiches I think of witches made of sand.

I went to Zumba.  It's a lot of fun and I strongly suggest that you members should try it.  Just don't laugh at the person standing next to you because you look just as ridiculous dancing as the other person next to you.

I took a nice long shower and reflected on the day.  You know, showers are great for releaving your mind of stress.

You're probably wondering when I'll mention music.  Answer: Now

I got this new CD for my birthday.  Mark Schultz.  Pretty name.  Pretty voice.  His songs tell amazingly vivid stories.  And those stories make you think.  He's just wonderful.  One day when I figure out a few more tricks about blogging I might post videos one day.

SLEEP! COSMO NEEDS SLEEP!!!!!!ZZZzzzzzz----......

Night night peoples!  All you peoples everywhere!  Sleep tight!
