it was:

Yesterday was epic. It was so great.

There is something totally fantastic about being in a pool, at ten o'clock at night, watching a bonfire.

I also got to see some of my favorite people, and made some yummy food. and laughed. a lot. =)

And I didn't know I was going till we left for home that morning.
I like spontaneity=)

I didn't do much this morning... that was nice. Just kinda bumming around.

Smilely things-

eating soft pretzels
and eating Ramen
talking with Hannah - can't wait to see you!
sorting mime gloves (and talking) with Katie... lol.

and
I have fun plans for this weekend that include:

Prince of Persia
cookie dough
spending the night at Andee's
... and undecided plans for Sunday. =)


God is awesome.

So, this weekend we had my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary party.

Lots of good food.
Lots of fun people.
Lots of fun memories.

=)

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

We politely pardoned the party pooper in purple pajama pants, and she partook of the pile of patiently prepared perfectly pretty particularly petite (racist) papery pale puffy pancakes.

Thus, our morning.

TADA!

(and we didn't make up any of that. tis all true.)

BPAC

Okay so.... Katie arrived at the Coffee House at.... 6-ish.

And, we ate. things. (Like the mozzarella sticks, that kinda exploded in the oven, so they were more like inside out mozzarella sticks.)

Then we went to Rita's, and got Gelatis. (My computer doesn't like that word.) We started walking home... and it rained. So, we hitch-hiked. Sort of.

We admired the awesome thunderstorm. Twas really cool. :P

Then we watched The Hunt for Red October... ate cookies... and popcorn.

And guess what else we did?? It's four letters, rhymes with walk... I bet you'll never guess... :P

As of now the four ... er ... TWO of us are having lots of fun. More of that secret business that you will never guess.

And fun chats... and quad-souled goddesses.

(we can't think of a clever way to sign off. so we shall leave you with... BPAC!)

Confirmation & Cookout

Yesterday evening was our Confirmation. Had lots of fun hanging out before the ceremony with Paulina, Cat and Nate. Afterwards, a bunch of friends came over for a cookout. But, it was really, really, windy, so we mostly stayed inside.

The two highlights of the evening, for me, was

eating cookie dough


and playing CatchPhrase... I was laughing so hard... Oh my. It was awesome.

Love to y'all!
Christine

=)

got free ice cream yesterday.

drove up to PA. And home (most of the way).

Ya know how, sometimes you see deer on the road, running across?
Well, I didn't see deer. I encountered horses. Two of them. Running free along the road.
SCARY!

This weekend...

was awesome!!!
See, I was kinda disappointed not to be going up to PA with the mimes... but I had a great weekend anyway. =)

Saturday was -
sleeping in till almost 11 (friday night was rough)
doing nothing all day =)
going to a dress rehearsal for the Palm Sunday program at our church.
Golden Corral for dinner!! (huge buffet, in case you don't know...)

Sunday was -
~waking up 30 minutes later than I wanted... but only was 2 minutes late to church. But since I just had to be downstairs by nine, it didn't really matter for me.
~getting downstairs to find a hot breakfast(which was nice, cuz I didn't eat earlier.)
~hanging out with Nate and Paulina and Rosalie and Ali and Joe (and lotsa other people) before the program.
~the actual program, which was us kinda posing and acting out what this woman was narrating... but it was sooo fun ny.
~afterwards..... surprising Paulina with a card and balloon for her birthday
~ ((hugs)) i <3 hugs. they make me smile.
~going to the Cheesecake Factory with Andee and Michael(Cooper) and all of Andee's family.
~ having waaaayyyyy too much fun.
~talking with Andee.
~regretting our decision to let the boys sit next to each other.
~and pretty much just having a great time.

Cheers!
Christine

Family time...

(This is for yesterday. Today is not over yet, so I shall post later this evening in regards to today)

So, after Katie left... Erin and I watched The Pink Panther. In our slightly sleep-deprived stage, we found the movie hilarious.

Then, we all (well, not my brother, he was at scout camp) went to Panera's(the new one that just recently opened in Beards Hill).

YUM YUM YUM!!

Cheers!

It's been a week...

exactly since I last posted. I can offer no excuse, except for the fact that I've been busy. But it's been an incredible, awesome, smilely, effervescent week.

Tuesday
was class at HCC. fun. After swimming, I can home to find a friend whom I had not seen in a while. She and her mom came down from PA for a meeting my mom was hosting. And fun emails.

Wednesday
Swim practice was a blast. We were on our taper, and it was just SO much fun. It was probably one of my favorite practices. =)

Thursday
went shopping with my mom. and got a soft pretzel and an icee! Also, I practiced parallel parking. It was my very last swim practice. :sob: I'm gonna miss those kids. hehe... Also, we found out at that practice that TK listened to Cascada before he swam. lol.

Friday
... I was going crazy. Had waaaayyy too much energy. One look at me would show you that. I had my hair is two messy buns on the top of my head, and had big hot pink earrings in. It was sweet! Also, Friday night was a shave-down night.
hehe.

Saturday
Wake up at 5:30. SWIM MEET!!!!! Had soooooooooooooooo much fun. Went back to the hotel to chill. Mom and I watched Get Smart. THE funniest movie. Then went to The Olive Garden, and went and cheered on everyone at finals. More fun than I can express in words.

Sunday
Repeat saturday. x 100. yeah. that much fun. We got home and I had more fun and then we went to the Celtic Concert..... and I saw Katie and Andee and Blake and Livi and Colin and Mark and Andrea and Sarah and had fun. and was blessed. and was super happy. and ecstatic. and
effervescent. =)))))))))

Monday(Today)
Got an invitation to a wedding today. Talked on the phone with Katie for about an hour and a half. =) and I'm still sooo happy. And I <3 fun emails. and I bought about 10 new songs on iTunes today. yay!

Cheers!
Christine

fuuunnnn

Today was a day for card playing.
Poker; Big Boss, Little Boss; Rummy...
Also, we had a lot of fun in class. "I want a green electron" "I have
neon electrons, and I'm not sharing" and "Sub Shell Notation" fun stuff,
lol =)

Don't ask about swim practice... grrr... =(

I'm still soooooo tight. ugh.

PASTA for dinner!!! :smile:

Cheers!
Christine

SMILE!!

Oh boy... I had an effervescent day!!!

So, it started at 8:15 when we left for church. After the first service there is this discipleship program that is from 9:30 -11:00. I help out with the K-5th grades, and Erin is actually in one of the small groups.

Fun stuff today was. . .

Nate. Oh my. He was trying to get his disciple tunic on. It was made for a 12 year old. He's 18. So it was quite amusing. Then, he found this silver, shimmery tunic and tied the sleeves around his neck, and was 'superhero disciple John.'

We had an unexpected visitor at church. He came for the 11:15 service. We were planning on getting picked up at 11, because we had already been to church. So, Erin and I stayed for the second service.

Then, when we got home, we showed off the puppies for about 30 seconds, then had to leave for a party. One of my mom's kids that she works with was turning three, and we were all invited to go. He and his two older brothers (four year old twins) have to be the CUTEST boys ever. So, that was lots of fun.

SWIMMING!!!
Nicole made me smile (actually, jump up and down) because she had seen Arthur on Saturday at Delaware States
Ian. Was. Hilarious.

I HATE MY BEST FRIEND!!! IT IS THE MOST AWFUL PIECE OF SWIM EQUIPMENT
EVER EVER!!!

Oh, and my dad got me a salad from Pat's on the way home. Perfect way to end a great weekend. (Well, not really end. I still have to work on this stupid rigmarole... grr... and yes, I'm late, but this is the first I've been home all day for more than 30 minutes.)

Cheers!
Christine
