Well, we are leaving tomorrow to go up north for about a month and a half. It's not farewell forever, but we probably won't have Internet access for a while, so don't cry. I'll be back in July. Don't stop following me either, I'm still here!:) I hope everyone has a great summer, and I will update when I can. Our apartment has a swimming pool, so I'm gonna get a good TAN! *Yay*And get some good shopping in!:) Sorry, I didn't get to do share-a-song Sunday's last week, so here's a song we have been singing at church.
I enjoy reading every comment, when I get them. So keep them going while I'm gone~! Ta-ta for now... Again, hope you have a wonderful summer, and I'll be be back soon!
Yardsale!!Lauren decided she wanted to get rid of a lot of her old clothes and junk she never used. Than the rest of the family caught on, and we made a pile by the door of what we wanted to get rid of. On Friday, we decided we'd have a yardsale. My friend miriam came over and she sold some stuff too.:) We have some funny stories about this yardsale.. Yesterday, (Saturday) it was a little bit rainy, but that didn't stop the customers! We sold A LOT of stuff! Mainly, clothes, jewelry scarves, headbands, and stuffed animals. (didn't sale much of the latter!:) I am thankful that people showed up even on a cloudy Saturday morning, because we made a lot more money than we expected!
After the sale, we made a run to goodwill for the leftover's.
Hoorayfor getting rid of junk! I feel like I had a lot of clothes I didn't wear that were just sitting sadly in the closet. Know at least someone's enjoying them (hopefully!:)
Todaywe are having my Grandmother's 80th Birthday party! It's going to be a garden theme, because she has always loved gardening. We are having a caramel pound cake, cucumber sandwhiches, crab dip, punch, spanakopita. I'm sure it will be fun!
We are going to the evening service at church tonight because we have to get ready.
Well yesterday, me and Lauren went to the nail salon. I got a manicure in bright pink, and Lauren got a pedi.
I've been looking at my nails a lot. They're so shiny!:) I could never be a nail person. When I paint mine, I always end up picking them off because they're so globby. The guy who did my nails didn't say more than about 10 words the whole time, and the rest of the time he was talking to himself in chinese. I was a little bit scared, because he could've been talking about my awful cuticals. AHH! they were scary before he messed with them. I do not do much with my nails. I felt very pampered.
Go see a funny video at Lauren's blog about manicures. Have you ever seen bon qui qui? It's the same girl who does that who has a show.
Last night, we had some friends over and did some excercise dvds. They were a blast, and a workout! Belly dancing was... errr... funny! We also watched some funny rhett and link videos. Go see a funny one on Caroline's blog...
Well today, I went to both services at church. I did because my mom and I got up early to go to the 8:30 service (actually we didn't get up very early... we got up about 30 minutes before we had to go. Long story, but NOT a smart idea! ) My sisters came later, so I sat through with them again, because my mom had to go to a funeral for one of her relatives. I didn't mind sitting through again, but the second service I was soo tired.
Caroline wasn't feeling well, and so she got up in the middle of church and left for a long time. I decided I'd go check on her, because it had been about 15 minutes. Her stomach was hurting, and I wasn't sure what to do. So i went back in, passed notes with lauren for about 5 minutes, persuading her to go check on Caroline. It probably looked pretty funny, because we all got up about twice during the sermon, and it took forever. Long story, but thats pretty much how it happened. I'm glad caroline's doing better though!
Bleh. I am exhausted. And it's a cloudy day out. Not looking forward to going back to school, where I have to do presidential fitness training. Whew. And I'm having a bad hair day.
Anyways, here's a great song! I got the pleasure of singing it twice today at church..
