Fair's Still Here...

The Fair is still in town... and my parents went to the Grandstand concert Tuesday night... while I stayed home and finished CONFESSOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm finally done with the Sword of Truth series, and I can review them... I'll wait until after Spy Glass is reviewed, becuase there's 13 books... and I want them in there consecutively... so... Wizard's First Rule will be reviewed on September 6th...

Yesterday was the Third Time I went to the fair... this time it was mostly to get food we wanted... and listen to some music... plus I needed a new Panther Tattoo... the old one wore off...

I got a smoothie and shared it with my mom... I got a tenderloin and shared it with my mom... I got some doughnuts (Those were too good to share) And I got a cup of cookies that I shared with my mom...

I'm loving... I share with my mommy... **Snicker's in the Background** Yes, BF... I do...

Well... I gotta Go...

I Can't Hear YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to the Concert at the Grandstand last night... My ears hurt a lot... **Sad Face** But that's the only thing I'm sad about...

Well first I should mention that yesterday was the first day of the Iowa State Fair!!!!!!!!! One of the best things that God ever created... It's awesome... I go every year... Lots of people say it's the best fair in the country, maybe even the world! It's in one book that has 101 things to do before you die... or something like that...

Well the concert last night was Newboys & MercyMe... personally I like Newsboys better... but that's just me... MercyMe is just a little too slow for my tastes... Oh well... I liked their stage performance well enough...

Newsboys has a new lead singer... in the past year, year & a half, their lead singer, I don't know the term... stepped down??? And so they asked Micheal Tait... He's awesome...

Well... time to go back to the fair... **Waves** BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY DANCE, HAPPY DANCE, BIG GIANT HAPPY DANCE...

I Finally finished Faith of the Fallen last night... it took me like 8 hours, but I did it... I didn't really like it as much as the other ones... but I guess it was pretty good... You know how most series' just keep getting better and better??? Well... this one just keeps getting worse and worse... I really liked the first one... then the second was kinda weird... I liked the third one just fine... four... not so much... and five was just terrible...

But for those of you who've A) never heard of the series... B) Never read them... C) Just want to hear a review... or D) all of the above... I'll just you a quick summary of the series of 13 books 800+ pages each...

Richard Cypher grew up son of a carpenter until a mysterious woman came to his hometown and convinced an old man... who we now know is a wizard... to name Richard the Seeker of Truth... a person who helps to keep the peace among the lands... then Richard goes out on a quest to help the people of the Midlands to overthrow an evil tyrant: Darken Rahl... I won't ruin the series for you if you do read it so... that's only book 1... I didn't even talk about a the little details... I particularilly like the part where Richard is captured and tortured to death by an evil Mord Sith... YAY I LIKE MORD SITH! Lol...

I gotta go... I'm runnin out of stuff to ramble on about... See Ya!

Ugh... Shopping... At Least I Got Some Good Stuff...

I HATE SHOPPING!!!!! Ugh... my mom made me go shopping with her today... because it's Tax-Free and all... anything to stop the government...  off topic sorry...  I got over a hundred dollars in clothes and shoes... yep... I went to Kohls... I got 5 cami's... 3 over-shirts... a pair of boots... a pair of flip-flops... and a pair of pants... MY AMOUNT OF CLOTHING JUST DOUBLED!!!!!!!! Oh well...

The Season's a re-read... awesome book there... and the other one's a option for summer reading at central...

Day At My Mom's School... And Then An Awesome Lunch...

My mom was Co-teaching summer-school this year... and her co-teacher (CT)want me to meet her daughter... so my mom told me that I would go to school with her today... and yes... that meant that I had to get up at 6:00 this morning... which I should do more often so that I get into a schedule for school again...

Well... I went... and I turned out that she had one of the best things in the WORLD!!!! She had a NOOK!!!! I've wanted one of those since forever ago!!!! She let me look at it... and I fell in love... I ended up playing Soduku... it was fun... but it was harder than the ones I'm used to...but she helped me...

Then students started coming and we played some games... okay... a lot of games... Then it was CUPCAKES!! It was a students birthday... then there was a football player volunteering outside that had a birthday today... and Monday was another kid's birthday... so... We had CUPCAKES!!! I didn't care if I had a migraine after wards... or that the cookies gave me a headache... it was totally worth it...

Then we went back to the classroom and played some more games... this class was rowdier... they didn't cooperate with my mom and her CT very well... so they ended up getting yelled at... interupting the Phase Ten game we'd started... but soon they left and we finished our game...

Then wewent to a Mexican restruant... I ordered a Beef Taco with a side of Re-Fried Beans and Rice... It was good... I smothered everything with Sour Cream...We talked... ate... and talked some more... by the time I'd eaten half my taco, I was stuffed... the sour cream was gone... and I'd drank 2 huge glasses of Water...

Soon we left... I had half my taco left... and some rice... still smothered with sour cream...

My Mission Trip... & Some Unexpected Things...

We got back from Cedar Rapids yesterday... I was so tired I coped out as soon as I got home... I'll give you a brief summary of what we did...

We got there about 4 o'clock. we settled in... ate supper played some games... went out for ice cream (Which I can't eat **Sad Face**) and did devotion... falling alsleep... **Smiles mischievously**

The next day we went to work on helping people in prove the curb appeal of their houses the only bad thing was that it started raining... and we had to work on the porch... but soon it was  time for lunch... we had turkey... and then it was time to go back to work... and we went back to the church at about 4... then it was the same as the night before... after we all took showers of course...

The next day was pretty much the same as the previous until we got back to the church... we all took showers and while I was getting back to the room where we slept, everyone was looking around worried some frantically... I asked one of my friend's what was going on and she said that some people's stuff was missing... **Collective Gasp** I know... I gasped too... I immedeatly checked my stuff... it was all there... I wasn't worried becuase I'd taken all my important stuff with me... the most important thing that I left was my book... (which had sentimental value and not worth a lot of money) but over-all we had $100+ taken... two iPods... a wallet and an iPod charger... which was hooked up to an iPod Touch which wasn't stolen...

Needless to say everyone was freaked out... we were going to go to Iowa City that day but in light of the circumstances we all voted to order pizza and stay in the church... later we watched We Are Marshall... a Football movie...

We left the next day... and now we're home!

Okay... I Got Five Minutes

Okay... in Five minutes I have to get off to get ready to head off to Cedar Rapids for my mission trip.

We were AWESOME at CACTUS this morning... they actually heard my descant in our song... kind of hard to though, my mom said... understandable when it's two people vs. 50 kids singing another part and 20 kids jumping around...

My totem looked really cool too...

Our Dance was perfectly timed!!!! It was awesome...

Our Drama was okay... I think... I wasn't paying much attention to the actors, since I was busy reading...

Siahymba was SWEET! I loved it... it was one of the best versions of Siahymba I've ever heard... magnificent...

Uh oh... I gotta go...
