Sep. 22, 2009 - Hi =^D
Hello to me faithful readerS! How be ye all?
Well.. I'm trying to think of some stuff that I have done since my last post. Besides school. Lately I have been doing NOTHING but school... so... there's nothing to post about really! lol
We did go to Montpelier recently. That's the home of James Madison the 4th president of the United States. It's about 3 hours from where I live. Wanna know an interesting little tidbit? It takes just about that long to read the Constitution of the United States all the way through including all 25 amendments. Liars.. They say it would take approximately 23 minutes. HA! They never heard the Yavanenskis do it! *gasps because at the computer for saying 'Yavanenski' is spelled wrong* So anyway, my mom made me read the whole thing OUT LOUD and made me stop after every paragraph so that she could explain what it meant. After she explained it I still didn't understand it. So after I had finished that we were there. We got to go throught a tour of his house [which for the size of his house on the outside, has VERY small rooms that would NOT do for dancing as they said they were used for. Did that make any sense to anyone besides me who know what I was saying?! =^D] Just a little FYI, James Madison has a stinking taste in art. [You'll know what I mean if you've ever been there and seen some of his pictures] Anyway, so we went through his house and then there was a ceremony where we got to hear the marine band and Lynne Cheny speak. It was pretty cool. After that, we went to see where James and Dolly Madison were burried. Graveyards are NOT spooky! They are inspriational and that's the truth! For me anyway... but don't go by me... I broke a shoelace this morning... haha not really but I'll take any chance I can get to quote Riley! *lawfs Riles* Anyway... well mom decides she wants to go to the slave graveyard... okay... no prob mom.... wellllll so it did turn out to be a problem.... My mother has this thing.. she HAS to follow whoever is in frount of her. I don't know why but I CERTAINLY didn't inherit that! I HATE following people and I would MUCH rather make my own path. =) WAHOO! Anyhoo... Mom follow this family that was infrount of us into the woods... I would have LOVED a treck in the woods....except it didn't go anywhere. As it happened... the 'trail' that we were following dead-ended [haha that's not a word is it?] And there was no trail. Well.. instead of standing there like everyone else was doing, I started making my own trail [which was absoluetly GLORIOUS!!!] Yuck... my feet stink... [completely unrelated] so we finally got out of the woods....on the OTHER side of the house from where we wanted to be. Not to meation it was raining... Fun fun! So we got out and got n the car [finally!] *sings along with her music that is playing "EILEEN ALLANAH!!!! EILEEN ASTHORE!!! LIGHT OF MY SOUL!!!!"
As it turns out, that was not the end of our adventures. On the way home, mo looked at the gage and found the van overheated.... Oh! But I skiped something! We took a wrong turn on the way out of Montpelier [which BTW I think means 'Mount Pleasent'. Correct me if I am mistaken.] and went out the east gate instead of the west gate like we were supossed to. I was having SO much fun because, to me, getting lost is one of the stress reliefs of this world.... Apparently it's not to my mother.... she was about to go into cardiac arrest when I told her that we had gone right when we were supossed to left. [I had to map. MUAHAHAHA POWER! =)] We got to see that nice little town of Orange... I suggested we just go on and see where it came out.... I guess mom didn't really want to go to California... But we did go to Scotland . Haha I thought I'd REALLY gotten us lost when I saw "Glasgow" on the sign! Thankfully it was actually in Virginia. =) Anyway... so I did get us going right... BUT! on the way home, we got stuck in heavy traffic because of a acident or something, and the van overheated. All the water we had in the car was a tiny widdle bottle [BTW those those things are just about the cutest ever!] . That shows you how healthy we are, we have a case of Dr. Pepper in the back of the van but no water! lol FYI, we drank all the water for lunch! :-P =) So we got stuck beside the road for a long time and only one person stopped to see if we needed any help... WE'RE IN TH' SOUTH PEOPLE!!!! =)
Anyway... I'm supoosed to be writing a report on Samuel Slater [awesome name huh? =)] *shhhh * don't tell Mom! lol :-) So I need to go..... I'll be in Williamsburg this weekend. Sooo YUP! TTFN!
;-)Syd
