Potatoes and Tears

I know; I'm the worst blog-hostess in the world... but I'm an even worse Fanfiction-updater... I'm really sorry, but Finals are coming up (English is the day after tomorrow; ugh) and I'm really not looking forward to them.

Running has been going well for me. I've gotten out quite often, but not as often as I would like. I'm still in condition, for the most part. I've lost a good majority of my hills amazingness, but I won't need hills in Track, so...

I started watching Mulan today on Youtube. Keyword there is started. The set of videos I was watching goes through 8 and they only had the first 6. But I didn't find this out until after I finished the sixth part. So I'm left hanging after she was kicked out of the army and left to die in the middle of the mountains with only 2 blankets and a bandage to keep her warm... Nice huh?

Now you're all probably wondering what's going on with the title. Yeah, dinner was very interesting tonight for my family.  One of our favorite dishes is potatoes and spam. We had no spam but we had ham left over from our New Years Day lunch, so we had potatoes and ham. As you all know, I'm lactose-intolerant, but my dad decided to be a jerk and put cheese on my plate, and my plate only. When I started to object, he screamed (literally screamed) and stormed out of the room. When I looked at my mom she looked just as confused as I felt. She said to just eat it and when I objected again she yelled at me; not as loudly as my father, but still it hurt. So when I ran out crying, my dad showed up again and actually shoved me back into the kitchen and said "Eat the f**king food." So I'm not lying when I said that I had potatoes and tears for supper, I'm not kidding. There was barely any ham in it!

I have had probably the most hectic last 48 hours of MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!!!

Friday~ Last day of CACTUS... this needs no explanation
     What I learned~

• Never EVER let little kids run around unattended...

Saturday~ Balloon Festival... In Indianola, Iowa, during the first week of August, there is the Midwest Regional Balloon Festival... dozens of Balloons (Hot Air, for all of you idiots) are blown up at the same time, and they race to complete tasks... it's awesome... I spent the day with my cousins, uncle, aunt and 'grandmother.' I tried to teach my brother the delicacies of Glee Music... Um... yeah...
     What I learned~

• Jimmy Johns is 'Freaky Fast' but not 'Freaky Reliable' (They gave me a sandwhich without tomato, lettuce, or mayo, but charged me for it)
• Ask the A & W kiosk if they'll give you just plain ice cream before you wait in line for it (in 100+ Heat) for 15 minutes only to find that they only do floats
• Never let your brother beat you in Phase Ten
• Only tease your parent unless you have the other parent's or their parent's (your grandparent's) permission

Sunday (Today)~ CACTUS performance... everything that the kids learned throughout the week... now performed in a real church service...
      What I learned~

• make sure kids know what they're doing before you have them perform it in front of 500+ people...

That's all I have to say... and I didn't even mention the ice incident...
