Jules: Hi!! They (the gel cuppies) are on my abnormally large grocery list! Poofing some lasagna your way (both regular and Taco Lasagna).
Calena: The safari theme is very popular this year. Stuff is naturally easier to find (ie Oriental Trading, birthday parties) than construction stuff. And I think the Ohio Dept. Of Transportation (ODOT) would have a problem with me sneaking away with some orange barrels and construction cones. I do VBS because I love participating with the kids. I play the games, I sing the songs, so, yeah, it is a kind of workout. Last year, the theme song was Power UP and the theme was getting in shape/exercise to do God's will. Lots of activity!!!
Amanda: Yes, I did. I can admit it. Those gel cuppies are yummy. MMMM Good! Any other flavor recommendations beside Cherry and Mixed Fruit?

Okay y'all:
B: 3 cups cereal (6)
L is where I think I'm gonna get off track today

Since there is not much food in the house, I'm stuck with 1/2 a corndog (2.5), plus a cup of macaroni and cheese (10) Plus that imaginary gel cuppie.
Exercise: Biking to the library. They have 0 exercise DVD's, only tapes. That's okay. I have to have parental consent to take out any AV materials, though. Poo. 10 minutes each way. I should practice my show music for marching band (first show: I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night, We Will Rock You and Bohemian Rhapsody) I have until the last week of July to have each song memorized, but I'm going to exercise some more.

How do I feel today? Very screwed up and backwards. To name an emotion (to make the problem go away, one must find the root of the problem to exterminate it), I'd have to say frustrated/exasperated. I usually go out to lunch with my dad and grandpa, but we can't right now due to circumstances beyond my control. I feel frustrated because I miss being around people, and all of my friends (one's in TN, one's in PA, softball practices, one babysits all day everyday, there's people who live in the country, etc.) are busy with other plans. This wouldn't be so bad if my dad didn't spend all day at the hospital, every day. (12 noon to whenever he leaves, usually 8 or 9) I know he does this for the sake of his father and because the doctors sometimes are at a loss (he might have to go under the knife again because the Pacemaker makes grampa's diaphram move when the PM shocks the heart), but us people here on the homefront are getting kind of shafted. This is a very long rant, you guys and I apologize, but I need people to talk to.
Good news? I'm only eating when I'm hungry and am avoiding the Boredom Binge. I am doing everything in my power to keep away from the kitchen when I am bored. I have crayons, play doh, movies and GUM.

Thanks for being here for me, you guys. You don't know how much you are appreciated right now at this frustrating stage of summer.
