Saturday

This morning, the day started at 7:00. We actually got to sleep in!! We went over to my grandma's house this morning for her garage sale. The sale was open until about 2:00, so we were there a long time. It started pouring down when we went to get the signs, so I was soaked by the time we were done. When the sale slowed down, mom took Rachel and I shopping at Wal-Mart. We got a whole slew of clothes and stuff. Rachel and I also got another skirt that we've been needing. Rachel got some fabric for a sun dress that she's been wanting to make for a while. The fabric prices at that Wal-Mart are as low as $1.00 a yard. I am now at my grandmas house spending the night. Kroger is having a big sale where DiGornio pizzas are 2 for $7. They normally cost $5 apiece; this sale lasts until Monday. Also, 2 of my cousins are graduating this year. We recently went to one of my cousins' graduation ceremonies. That went well, except we arrived late and left early. The church that it was at was PACKED! We were in the very back of the parking lot, so, we HAD to leave early so we wouldn't be there for another hour due to traffic anyway. Apparantly, all the schools in the whole county are graduating there! I think that's all that has been happening lately. Make sure to check my photo blog: Photography: An Empty Canvas.

Technology?

On the phone that Rachel and I share, they have volume setting for the music, etc. Well, I'm taking this phone to the rec center to listen to music while I'm exercising. The problem is, I can't turn the volume down low enough on the songs. My question is: if I get different ear phones that have a volume switch on it, will it work?? Anyone??? So, here are my daily ramblings.... We have to go to the store to replace our currently, almost empty pantry. Then, I think we have to go back to the library and return a video that is out. While we're out, I want to see if mom can swing by Target or somewhere for the ear phones. Rachel is about to leave for writing class, also. We are going to get rid of the 'burb' sometime soon. I'm sad to get rid of it, she's been good to us.... (Except that time her transmission went out) Mom and Dad are going to look at a suburban that looks interesting. This time, we are actually going to get a 21st century car!! Unbelievable! Then, on this coming Saturday, we are all going to my cousins house to pick up our truck. This truck was my grandpa's that we are now inheriting. I can't even believe that we are going to get 2 "new" cars in one week. Crazy, I tell you. Also, have you ever tried Googling your own name. You can be surprised by what has been posted on the Internet. I think it's interesting looking at basketball pictures when I was 10-years-old.... What is this Fashion Fiesta thing that's going around?? Do you just photograph pictures of your clothes, or what?? Thanks in advance!! sourpatch

Saturday Shopping

Being homeschooled, we usually don't go shopping on Saturday for obvious reasons; it's WAY too crowded. Today, we decided to brave the crowd by "getting out early". Uh huh. That didn't work. We walked around the mall and various other stores for 7 1/2 hours. I'm so very tired right now. I did get some shirts, pillows, a skirt, also some work-out jeans. It was a very tiring day. "VERY" may be an understatement... Happy early Easter! sourpatch
