Day 40 was a mighty interesting day. I had been invited to a school board meeting to be recognized for my purchase award. I had been looking forward to it for weeks, and it started at 6:00. I got home that day from shopping with my family and thought I had a lot of time until I had to be there. I lollygagged around, took a shower, and was about to put on make-up when I looked at my phone. It was 5 minutes til 6:00. Um, WHAT?! I raced downstairs and asked my mom why in the world she didn't tell me I was going to be late. She said that she thought I knew. I didn't have time to be the bad daughter that I am and yell at her, so I rushed out the door. I drove like a maniac, and surprisingly I only got flipped off once! I got there in less than 15 minutes and I pulled in right in front of the building. Jon was waiting there so he could park it and I ran in. I made it with 5 minutes to spare. They called me up and someone read my very fluffy description of my photo in which I used an adjective every other word. The school board members were very impressed with it... Each of them talked about what they liked about the photo, it was very nice.
That day my family came in from Alaska to spend some time with us for 10 days. It was such a fun time!
We went to the beach that night.
Katie and I both saw a shark in the water that was about 10 feet away from this kid, so we screamed "SHARK!!!!1!!1!!!" but he didn't hear us. I ran over to who I assumed was his dad and told him there was a shark in the water and he wasn't even alarmed. He said that he was at the beach the day before and that he had seen a dolphin so that was probably what it was. At that point I was like whatever, not my problem anymore. Regardless, we still had fun.
The next day I hung out with Ali, Sam, and Hunter and we had ourselves a craft day. We drove to Joannes and we picked out a tie dye kit. We saved a bunch of money because I had a 30% off coupon for college students. [I like using it because I get to show off my UF ID card.] We tie dyed some bags.
Sadly, no dogs were allowed, so my mom had to go take Maddy home.
Me and my cousin Katie :) I look so tan next to her...
Looking pretty darn cool in our goggles.
Later that day Sam and I went on a "date" at Olive Garden. We both had macaroni and cheese.
Cheesing it up [get it?]
I drew a portrait of Sam. It's going to hang in the MoMa, wait and see.
Afterwards we went and saw Harry Potter together. Twas amazing, obviously.
We got ice cream at McDonald's afterwards.
Lately I've been making quite a few shrinky dinks, check out my awesome Harry Potter necklace!
I added some more charms, all representing my various British obsessions [Harry Potter and Doctor Who].
On Wednesday we went out to lunch for my cousin Katie's birthday.
Katie was cold so my mom make-shifted a blanket out of napkins.
Andrew didn't want me to take his photo...
but eventually he obliged.
The waiters brought her ice cream and sang happy birthday.
Cousins :)
That week we had VBS at church. This night was "Crazy Hair Night". I sported a fro-hawk.
I added some feathers for a nice touch.
On the way home we stopped for gas- I want this car, please.
We had some good family bonding time, as you can see.
On their last day in Florida we stopped at Chick-fil-A for lunch because they don't have any in Alaska.
It was hard saying goodbye, but we will cherish the memories!
On Saturday I went and saw "Cowboys and Aliens" with Jon and Robbie [it was dreadful]. We had to document our matchingness- mine and Robbie's pants matched and the boys' shirt matched. Robbie is showing off his new iPod on his pocket, which also matched my head band!
We went to Kilwin's afterwards and got some treats [courtesy of Robbie because he works there ;)] They were delish, thanks man!
Well, this is my last post guys. It's been real, thanks to everyone who actually read it. I might start a new one for college,who knows ;)
