Okay, I haven't posted for a while, and I don;t even have a decent excuse! I guess I was a little busy with other stuff.

Last Sunday we performed our youth group skit at the church evening service. I didn't realize just how ridiculous I sounded until I heard the recording later. At least, I think I sounded ridiculous. Overall, it all went great, and I personally think that our skit was the highlight of the evening.

Tonight there is a 'J' theme party night at square dancing. My sister is going as Jupiter. I have some sort of attempt at a jester, and my little brother is a Jack in the box. My mother, though, she has a great costume. She has an outfit left over from when she used to do jazz, and she's going to wear that. Like, WOW!

Now that the week isn't quite as crazy as last, I'll try to post more often.

Tonight I, my older brother, and my sister are going to be having a dress rehearsal for the skit we are performing on Sunday. I'm playing a shopaholic, and it took me a while to find all of the bags I needed, and fill them up with assorted things, including, but not limited to, clothes, shoes, plastic food, and fake jewelry. Now, I have so many bags to carry that I can hardly hold them all, and that's exactly how it's meant to be.

I've been listening to songs by Train today, and most are pretty good. I particularly like '50 ways to say goodbye'. It starts off a bit like a song from Phantom of the Opera, but is much more funny than those songs.

Has anyone ever finished a game of Monopoly? Last night I was playing Monopoly on my iPad with my sister and little brother, and we didn't finish it. In fact, we were playing the game we had started the previous Tuesday! How does anyone actually finish a game of Monopoly? I think you're supposed to go bankrupt to finish, but we are all too careful for that. At least, so far.. Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaa! Anyway, of all the Monopoly games I have ever played, the only way they have ever finished was because someone got bored, so we just stopped playing.

Well, today was pretty fun. Not in a stand out "Today was fun!" kind of way, but just that it was fun. I like the time I can spend with my older brother. It's...companionable. We don't need to talk to enjoy it, but I often end up talking anyway. I kind of talk a lot when it's just the two of us. Not quite sure why.

My sister, older brother, and I are going to be in a skit for our youth group in a few weeks. We were given our parts today. I get to be a shopaholic, and that will be a challenge. No sarcasm.

My sister probably wouldn't want anyone to know what she's playing. She has a secretive streak when it comes to things like that. My brother gets to be an ultimate tourist, with over-sized camera, Hawaiian shirt, and huge sombrero. Fun!
