You never know whats coming for you

This is my "hmm, that sure is nice" face

This quote is from the popular film Benjamin Button. It was a very beautiful movie in my opinion and although I really could not connect with any of the characters in much of any sense at all, I do have quite a few stories that could go along with that quote about not knowing whats going to happen.

Like today for example:

SOL week has granted me a strange and wonderful opportunity! I do not have to be at school until noon all week.

With this said, I slept in until about nine today, awoke wonderfully refreshed and ready to conquer the day. Given that today was the day that the President was said to be announcing his choice for the vacant Supreme Justice position, my parents schedule was a toss up and race around the block type of situation. My mother works for a non-profit organization where the competition is everyone and anyone who might get there press release out faster than her organization might be able to. She tends to be pretty good at what she does:

Washington Post

Associated Press

AUL!

What a fun day rushing about in downtown DC!


And! It was the last day of crew!!! I can hear the Hallelujah chorus...
All in all I learned a lot this season, I dropped about 20 seconds off my 2k time (!) and can sit happy and proud on a 7:39.2 time! Yes this year had its ups and downs, but it was probably one of the bests I've ever had.
For our last day at the boathouse we put away boats and through our coxswains in the water and took pictures. That was about it. I bought my friends ice cream and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. I was not elected to be our class representative but I figure you can't have everything. Next year I will be the vice president of our class, hopefully make it onto first eight again, and be taking a good number of art classes.

this movie looks so cute!

Martain Child. So cute!

united 93

nothing bonds a family like watching the nation fall to pieces on one of the most terrible days in history. United 93 is about the terrorists taking over the countries airways and the heros aboard flight 93. it is by far the most inspirational movies i've ever watched. my three-year-old brother is hugging my mothers legs while Pnzr is sitting with my father, the Diva (my nine year old sister) is wrapped up in a blanket with my mom, and Sweetie (my six-year-old sister) is drifting in and out f sleep on the other couch. we're at the part were all the passengers are calling their families and i'm tearing up, the passengers just attacked. i swear the guys that did the music for this deserve some serious praise. God bless those passengers and their families, they were all true heros and heroines. the movie just ended, we all know the ending, and anyone who dosn't, needs to google 9/11 immediatly.

Scoop!!

yay!! after waiting for months, watching the trailer on-demand, over and over again, we get to watch it tonight!!! of course Pnzr is acting up about not being able to watch Happy Gilmore tonight, but i want to make the point the last several movies we've watched were total guy films!!!!!
