Well, today was an interesting day. And full, might I add. It wasn’t that it was that full, it was just…action-packed yet dull at the same time. I woke up at 6:00 (AM), and started school at 8:00, then at 12:00 I warmed up myself a steak, ate it, went back to school at about 12:35, did school for the rest of the day until 3:30 (PM), then took a shower, then we went heading off to a friends house. Today was her birthday, and it was a surprise party, so we were supposed to get there at 5:00 PM because she and her sister come home from college at 6:00. Though, as usual, our family is not known for our sense of direction. So mom got us lost because of all the confusion and traffic, (we are about 25 minutes away, but the traffic made it an hour and a half to get to). We turned this way and that and finally about an hour or so, found ourselves by their neighborhood. We parked on the other street to make sure she (the daughter whose birthday it was, Madalina) didn’t see us. So we went inside and everyone was shouting for us to hurry. The F’s seemed to have arrived a few minutes after we did, and I could swear I saw Jeff driving, on the right lane at the red light when we passed by on our way there. But I don’t know for sure if it was him and his siblings, so I didn’t mention it when we were there. Anyway, the F’s were there (like I said), the E’s, the C’s, and Maddy’s relatives and her sister and brothers were there (obviously). So we waited a while, then Mrs. Y asked us to come into the kitchen and den so Maddy wouldn’t notice us when she came in and wouldn’t hear all the “SHHH” and…so on and so forth. When she walked in we all yelled surprise and sang, and then we ate dinner. Then we went outside on their porch while I ate, and talked. Then the boys went out to play football and some went on the trampoline. Though, while playing football, poor Jacob got stung by a bee. I didn’t know until I heard Brian shout “Jake got stung by a bee!!” and everyone else. None of the girls seemed to notice cause they were too busy chattering, but I saw Mrs. Y and Jake go inside. I hope he’s alright. A few friends of ours are so allergic to bees…you have no idea. They look like bee’s themselves once they are stung. I really do hope and pray Jacob is okay.

Well, a few minutes after Jake went inside with Mrs. Y, mom came out and told us we had to leave really quickly because Falkor (our dog) was having problems and got quite sick around the house, and dad was painting so he couldn’t do much or it would be a mess. So, we rushed home and (HAH. Though we rushed home THEN mom didn’t get lost, haha.) helped Falkor and Mara and I cleaned up. So after that I stayed in my room for a while and played Irish music on my CD player, and dad heard it and loved it so we listened to it a lot more. While doing so, I sat on my bed and crocheted (sp). I made a scarf for Mrs. K I am going to mail as a Christmas present. I am now making five more scarf’s for Mrs. K and her daughters and sons and husband. Then I got up and went on my computer and watched “The Attack of the Clones” (Star Wars) and then paused it to help dad work around the house, then mom had made apple pie so I had two slices; went back on my computer and finished up “The Attack of the Clones”, and now I am writing this. So voila. Here I am, and am I here. *nod*

I guess I will chat later. I have school tomorrow, and right now I am not sure if I should watch a little something on my computer, crochet, or go to bed. …Dunno. Though if I did watch something I am now deciding between “The Village” or “Signs”. Tough choice. I never saw the end of “Signs”, so I may skip to parts of the end and finish it from there. But it is 10:46 PM and I don’t know if I should. Anyway, God Bless you ALL.

Pax Christi tibi!

In Christ, through our Blessed Mother, Mary,
