i just made a hundred bucks!

no, really...i did.

my brother scott, my dad and i have been playing "scene it" for the past hour, and i lost...well, i flippantly said "i wish we had disney scene it...cuz i would kick butt in that"

well, scott started singing "i can show you the world..."

and i responded "shining, shimmering, splendid..."

and he told me that it was "shining, shimmering, speldor." i told him that he was out of his mind. and he said wanna bet? and i said heck yes! and he said, $100? and i was like, you're on.

and so, we googled it, imbd'd it, and watched the movie.

i was right. :) and now i'm a hundred dollars richer. just like that.
sometimes i love my life.
and my brother.
i guess that will make him think twice before testing me on a disney question. :)

until next time...


PS: is it sad that the first thing i wanted to do when this happened was blog about it? hahaha....

outta control!!!

so, outta control situation number one:
the power was out for an hour and a half this morning. i'd like to see you try to keep 22 9 year olds calm and quiet for an hour and a half in the dark at a public school. ugh. the rest of the day was basically shot after that. good thing it was early release. :) they left at 12:10.

outta control situation number two:
i never seem to update this thing. i hate that. actually, i never get on the computer anymore. partly because i hate my comptuer, partly because i never get on the home computer, and partly because half of me is boycotting any computer until i get a mac. :)

outta control situation number three:
scott and i finally finihsed watching all four seasons of the office. :) aaaaaaaaand now we're starting all over again. with all the deleted scenes and commentaries, of course. you know, just to make sure we didn't miss anything the first time around. and we're looking forward to sept. 25th when season 5 starts on nbc. :)

outta control situation number four:
i don't really know how to tell my faithful readers this, but i figured i'd chicken out and tell you on my blog instead of in real life or over the phone. i'm not going to mountain day. please don't freak out, i just basically decided that i didn't want to go. and that i'd be going more for everyone else than for myself. mountain day has never really been my thing anyway...and when an opportunity came up that just happened to be the same weekend, i decided to go with what i wanted to do instead of what i knew everyone else wanted me to do. so, please don't hate me. just have fun without me. :)

outta control situation number five:
fourth grade is starting to catch up with me. the "honeymoon" phase is over, and now i'm just in the phase of missing berry and being close to/staying in touch with all of you. so, please don't be a stranger. call or text anytime! i'd like to know what's going on in your lives.

until next time....

i can't believe it's the fifth week of school

time flies. i honestly can't remember the past 4 weeks. they have gone by so fast. we have finally started the cleaning process around here. maybe one day i'll be all moved back in to my real room.

i don't really have a whole lot of fascinating news to report. my life is pretty boring. well, not boring...just predictable. i think i'm ready for mountain day. :)

until next time...
