| Warning!!! The following update covers two very busy days and may be very long!
Ok, so I am back from my ski trip in Beaver Creek. I suppose that Friday is inferrior and does not need to be told about, so I guess I will start with Saturday :) I went to the slopes for the first part of the day. I finally got to try my new friggin' board! I had a blast. My new friend Olivia was there too, and she had her first time on a board too. So I helped her and her 4 year old sister, Kara, learn with Olivia's friend Nicole. It was cool, Kara just got pushed (by me) up a small hill at the end of a run, only to ski down again and be carried up, over and over and over, but it was fun, and she was really excited about it. After a while when Olivia's parents and my dad came back from their time together, our families split up and went our seperate ways. My dad and I took off for some of the more challenging runs, only to find some had been closed off, and others got too hard, because they changed difficulties a part of the way down. So as you might guess, I fell a lot, and seeing as it was really icy, my butt got kinda bruised up, lol. So we met up with Olivia and her family and went to lunch at this really stingy resturaunt, and it was wierd because it was a fast food place! But what ever, we ate then they left because the kids were really tiered, but my dad and I stayed a while longer, until it got too late, and I got too sore. When we got back to the condo, I took a rest and ate chocolate ^^ Hurray! However, we had to leave soon because there was this office party, one of the few reasons we were there in the first place. So we left and went to this really strange hall, or, uhhh...whats the word? Like a building made for parties like this. They called it a lodge, but it wasn't a lodge at all, hehe. There was this kids party that was really made for younger people, but we had to stay because Kara coulden't go the the "grown-up" party, and woulden't stay with out all of us there (us being my friend Manon [man-O], Olivia and me.) So we made little arts and crafts and the sisters had pizza, Manon and I were going to eat with out parents. After we finally got her comfortable and could leave her, Manon and I went to eat, and my God the food was soooo good!!! Sadly when I went to talk to some of "the office people" they took my food away :( But I went down to the kids place and ate a bunch of junk food, those people obviousley didn't know how to handle kids that age! There was cookies and pop, and sooooo much candy, and they were just handing it out to keep them all from breaking down. Which didn't help much, seeing as most of them were really little and needed their moms in order for the world to keep going! So, I went around after a movie and talked to all the parents and got set up for some babysitting that was proving to pay a lot! And, if I may add, it did! After the party, I went back "home" to change and get ready to leave. Turns out, our phone wasn't working, so Thea, one of the moms I was working for had to come and get me. I guess I had hung up on here, I was trying to call her, and I thought I got the operator, when somone said "hello?" after I pressed 1. XD. So I get down there, and all the kids are behaving, they're all in bed and such, except for the baby, how convienent. Well, actually he was two, but he is such a momma's boy. But he is very cute, I gotta add. So his mother left, and he just breaks down. I mean he just won't stop screaming! I try everything, rocking him, talking softly, even singing (all the other kids were asleep, so I really couldn't sing loudly, XD) nothing worked! I once tried putting him to bed seeing if he would just cry himself to sleep, but I accedentally turned out all the lights, which scared him and he screamed even more. Then the phone rings. I pick it up and it's Josh's mom. We talk about how to get him to calm down, and then she has to go. But as soon as I hang up, he stops crying. I thought maybe if I move from where I was standing, he'll start again, so I stood in one spot for 20 minutes until he fell asleep. Luckily, I could put him down, and he slept for the rest of the night. Phew. But then, shortly after, this timer on the stove went off! It was really loud and I thought it would wake everyone up! But it didn't thank God! I still bruised my fingers trying to turn it back though, and it never would turn, so frantically, I broke a piece off (by that I mean, I broke off a knob) used it to replace the piece that broke off (I didn't do this by the way) and turned it off, my fingers were soooo sore though :( After I got back from that job, I went to this other condo where Olivia was watching some kids. She felt sick, and was glad I came over, so she got to leave, and I took over for her until those parents got home. So it was really late by the time I made it back to bed, and I didn't sleep at all because my dad snores! I mean, like no other guy could snore this loud! I could hear him from the couch I moved to too! So I was really tired the next day, and it was busy too! Sunday I had this concert thingy. I drove home from the mountains and when I got there, I had to leave almost that minute. We drove Hannah down to her CCC concert and then went to my flute choir one. We were standing around forever waiting for the group in front of us to finish. We finally get on, and I swear, it was sooooo cold I thought my flute was going to freeze to my lips! I had ice on it when I was done too! But we had to play forever, and all these people just stood around watching, and some just passing by. But the cold made me very sick. I had a headache and when Haley and I went to Starbucks, it was sooo bad, I thought I was going to pass out. I then had to go from store to store looking for my relatives who were meeting us there, but we didn't get into the resturaunt we wanted, so we had to go find them and go to another one. When they finally got there, we went up to Wolfgang Puck's, and ate there. It wasn't very great, and I almost go sick because I was feeling soo crappy. We finally got to leave and then we drove home. I had to go to bed at 7:00 and coulden't do my homework. So all my teachers were "dissapointed" in me again. Oh well, I don't care. Today I will briefly go over because this is already so long. As you know, I didn't have any of my home work, so other then that there isn't really any news. I picked my science project to do, and all that stuff. OHH! I got to miss french today! I got a high enough score on my test I got to leave with Ivona, Amy had an ortho so couldn't go. Heh! Murfy's Law!!! XD. Sorry Amy, but it is sorta ironic! Ok, well I have to go now. I have another concert I have to play in at the high school at 6:30! Fun fun...NOT! So ByeBye everyone!!! LE |
