Wow yet again I haven't updated in a whiiiile.
Hmmmm let's see. Idk if I've ever mentioned it, but me and my sister made a slideshow for my mom, in rememberance of Jim. We just finished it this past Saturday, and it turned out exactly how we wanted it to. It has 5 songs on it [since that's all we could put on], including The Dance by Garth Brooks, You'll Be In My Heart by Phil Collins, The Firefighter Song by Seize the Day (for all the firefighting pictures, lol we just searched "Firefighter Song" on limewire and that popped up. And it was perfect. :D), Only the Good Die Young by Billy Joel, and When I Get Where I'm Going by Brad Paisley. All the songs are cut short except for The Dance, since that really is the perfect song for it. If you want to watch it [even though it;s 11 minutes long], it's on my myspace. Which is friends only, so my mom can't see it haha. We ordered it on DVD. We ordered 2 in case something happens to one of them. When you buy 1, it costs $25, but when you buy 2 or 3 it's only $20 each, and it keeps getting cheaper. It said it would be here by August 15, but I got an email yesterday saying it was shipped and would be here within 3 days. So it'll come either tomorrow or Thursday. So we'll have it in time for our family reunion, which is when we're planning on giving it to her.
Whoa, that was long.
Anyways, I've been babysitting a lot lately. The people I usually babysit for ALWAYS over pay me. But I never look at how much they gave me until I'm already at home, because it's akward... otherwise I would give some back. But, I babysat the other day for them between 9 and 10 hours, and I got $40. Which is less than $5 an hour, so I guess the over paying has been all evened out. HAHA.
I was upset I couldn't go to the happening picnic Saturday-but it was my Grandpa's surprise 80th birthday party, so I had no choice. D: Oh well.
I'm excited for Saturdayyyyyy--DARIEN LAAAAKE. ahaha I love that place; and I haven't been there this summer yet. =D
Soooo I've been having some interesting conversations with Keith lately... haha
( some reasons why I love Keith haha )
Hm so anyways I think I'm gonna fill out my happening application tonight and send it in tomorrow....
Sorry this was so long, that tends to happen when I don't update in a while. D:
