Wow, I really need to keep up with my blogging!  It's been a few weeks.

Well grandpa left town a week early because he wasn't feeling well and was a little bored.  Yeah, life is slow here in the State of Insanity.  Turns out his bloodsugar was low because he was trying to quit smoking. 

A couple Fridays ago my sister and I went to testing for Tae Kwon Do.  We tested for conditional red belt.  I have never been a big fan of testing, even when we only tested once or twice a year.  Now testing is mandatory every three belts  <.< Oh well.  I don't really feel the need to move on to a new belt every three months or even every year.  Tae Kwon Do is more of physical education for me and frankly black belt isn't that high of a priority.  Goodness, it's rare when I can do a good sidekick, nevermind the spinning ones!  Oh yeah, another reason I don't like testing anymore: it is FIVE and 1/2  HOURS LONG!  If you think about it, that's almost half a day.  Oh well, at least we got more breaks to sit down during this testing, unlike last time.  I was so sore the rest of the weekend. 

There were two interesting things that happened at testing though. First some of the blackbelts and other kids who knew how to do this roll (with a long name I can't pronounce) had to roll over up to 4 kids without touching the kids.  Yeah, the people rolling did NOT include me.  2.  This one guy got his helmet kicked off during sparring and then that guy kicked the helmet off the other guy.  And then they started yelling at eachother, including one word which I shall not repeat.

4th of July was pretty fun too.  The fireworks were awesome and the food was too ;) I got to play with the little kids, I pitched a baseball for this one little boy with a bat and he seemed to have fun.  Thank goodness he was so tiny and I was up close and didn't have to throw the ball hard because my aim is pathetic.  It was so cute, some of the kids were playing with these little super bounce balls on street while there were a bunch of adults around.  After chasing a rogue ball down the street and breaking a neighbors window (that was a joke) that same little kid I tossed the base ball too wanted to trade super bounce balls, which I was happy to do.  He kept saying, 'It's always nice to share.  I like sharing.'  It was sooo cute!

Hmmm... what else?  That Journey to the Center of the Earth movie looks good.  I've only seen like two previews for it though so I don't know much about it except that it's in 3-D.  And that Josh Hutcherson kid was in RV and Bridge to Teribithia and Brendan Fraser was in George of the Jungle (no, I didn't know all this from just looking at the movie, I IMDB'd it.)  The book was really awesome too!  Oh and can you guess where my blog title  Journey to the Centre of My Life came from?  Right.  Except Jules Verne (the author of the book) spelled Center as 'Centre' so I did too. 

I'm downloading a lot more country music to my iPod because I got a nice little gadget that will play the iPod through the radio (sweet) an d the rest of the family likes country.  Guess I'm the only one who likes classical and rock =P

Oh and I got an Eragon soundtrack cd from the library.  It was pretty good!  When I returned it to the library I saw this girl I know, Amy, check it out right afterwards.  It was so funny! 

 Has anyone heard Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman?  If you haven't, the lyrics are on my left sidebar (no, no, your other left!)  I LOVE that song, it's my new short term favorite (I say short term because I have a new favorite every month or so.)

Oh and I've got a new contest up at RecycledTemplates, go vote!
