My Life Since Last Monday:

Hi!
Thanks, all of you who voted in my poll. It made it slightly easier to decide! I'll tell you what I got on Tuesday or Wednesday, when I can put pictures on. :) Let's just say that the little gift was a good choice.
Last week was rather long. Jordan and I went to the park on Monday and Tuesday with JS and Kirsten. We did cartwheels and handstands and bridges, and we played the 'trust' game. Y'know, the one where you fall back into a friend's arms? That was entertaining.
Wednesday was....Wednesday-ish. Nothing important happened.
Thursday was looooooong. I didn't get all my schoolwork done on Wednesday, so I was trying to catch up on Thursday. My instruction sheet for Wednesday said "read Carry A Big Stick" and then Thursday's said 'write a book review for Carry A Big Stick'. I figured that to catch up, I'd have to read the book and write the review. So I curled up with the book and started reading. At first it was interesting, but after two hours I had only gotten half-way through. By the time I was finished, I was thoroughly sick of Teddy Roosevelt! It took me all day to finish the book. Carry A Big Stick is a good book, but you may not want to try to read all the way through it in one day.
Oh, and Josh Havens from The Afters was on one of the local radio stations! Just over the phone. "Ocean Wide," which apparently is a new release, was played.
Friday we drove down to my grandparents' house! I counted about 100 red-winged blackbirds, we saw two 'rafters' of turkeys (why 'rafter' and not just flock?), and a pair of swans in an over-sized puddle in a field. The field was just outside of our old farm, and there's a sunken spot in it that always fills with water. Why the swans chose to land there, and not in one of the nearby ponds, I don't know. I wish I'd had a camera, 'cos then I'd've taken a quick shot of 'em.
Saturday I slept in till 9:30 because I hadn't slept well. We went bowling for my friend's birthday, which was jolly-good fun! I can't remember my scores. They weren't terribly high, but who cares when you're just playing for fun? (by the way, hi Race! 'Twas nice seeing you again!)
Saturday night I opened the small present. I'll show you pictures of what I got when I get them loaded on here.
And we had Lime Cheesecake!!!! O, I want more Lime Cheesecake! I would be supremely happy if I could have more of that scrumptious Lime Cheesecake! My grandma made it. If any of you want to order one from her....;D I told her she needed to sell them, but she's "not sure" of the price she'd charge. :P
Sunday we went to our grandparents' church. We used to go there, too.....twelve years ago. Rapunzel and I saw a few people we recognized, but not many. Mostly they were adults who had taught our Sunday School classes when we were little.
I got to drive some on the way home, about 45 minutes. Man, I need to drive more often! I have trouble paying attention to every single thing: speedometer, mirror, mirror, mirror, make sure you're still on the road, slow down, speed up, mirror, oops, drifting to the left, don't over-correct, etc, etc, etc. That brings my time up to about 4 hours, 45 minutes.
I finished a new post on my Old Movie Blog, which you should go check out. It's for The More the Merrier, a 1943 movie with Jean Arthur, Joel McCrea, and Charles Coburn. Hilarious.

Today, Mom baked me a second cake! Lemon with creamcheese icing. :)
Avalon, Catfreak, and family are due to arrive shortly. I can't wait! We haven't seen them in 6 months! :) :) :) :) :) :)
Tonight, Daniel Kirkley is doing that live show/chatting w/ fans. I wish that a Certain Computer *coughFritzcough* would suddenly find it's sound stuff working so I could watch it! That would make my day *hintFritzhint*.

An' that's what's happening here. What's new with y'all?
Does anybody know what to do with a "Friend Request"? I looked at the 'help' page for it, but it just got me more confused. I dislike this new Following Thing that Google/Blogger came up with.

The Song of the Day Contest: Owan and Skittles both got it! (Surprised you, didn't I Skittles?) Owan guessed the whole song title/artist, so she gets 5, while Skittles found the title and recieves 2 1/2. The song was "The Motions" by Matthew West.

Now I must go prepare for Avalon and Catfreak's arrivals. Adieu!
~Kiwi da Fruit~
P.S. There is no song in here, 'cos I couldn't come up with an easily-hidden on. Sorry!
