Below is a note I wrote originally for a note on facebook. It was written and posted on August 25 2008. I thought I would post it here too, just in case people that read this blog dont read my notes on facebook. Its hard to tell who reads my blogs here and my notes on facebook, so if you read both you might see some repeated blogs/notes. As for whats going on in my life, things are about to gear up with my bell choir starting rehersals soon, and school starting the day after labor day.
It's been a while since I wrote a note on here...I guess thats just what happens when you get a blog that you tend to write on more. My parents left this morning at about 10 with my brother to drop him off at Western and move him into his dorm, leaving me at home. Im definatly enjoying the quiet right now. I've been watching a few original songs that people have written on youtube, and got inspired to write my own. Just dont expect me to sing it anytime soon. I thought I would share the lyrics with you in this note. I thought I would title it "It's a New Day after all".
Open your eyes sleepy head
Roll out of bed
stare out the window
its a new day after all
Here I am
Here I am again
staring out this window
the only change today
is what Im thinkin
Who am I
and what am I doin here
I've been wandering all these years
and I've finally found where I want to be
So I'll roll out of bed
rub those sleepy eyes of mine
look out the window
and run out the door
its time to great the new day
and a new dream
that is so close to comin true
There isn't a long backstory to this one like there is for some of the songs I've written over the past 2-3 years. It started off with something I heard a celebrity say recently. THey said that when they wake up in the morning, they think "Great! Anouther day!". Who knows...today could be our last day here on Earth, so I might as well apreatiate it. The third stanza sums up the past year and a half of my life. FOr quite a while I was really questioning what I was doing in Midland, and what I was doing with my life, hence the number of times Ive changed my major. Its been during this summer that I finally found what I want to do, and where I want to be.

Well, I've been back from the family reunion for a week. What a time!
I got to the family reunion at about 2:30/3:00pm Michigan time, and absolutley enjoyed the chance I got to sleep on the ferry. Not a whole lot happened during the reunion on Friday.
Saturday-
Tubing and other various water sports. A grand total of seven of the cousins (including my brother and I) sat on the boat for an hour saturday morning writing a poem/ode that later would read during our grandma's 80th birthday party. After that hour we were stummed, so went tubing and super mabling for an hour or two, or however long that was. We would then go on to eat lunch up on the deck and finish the ode/poem in about 5 minutes. Its crazy to see how much a little tubing can help when you have writers block. Saturday night was the party. About half an hour before leaving to go to the party, the seven of us that had written the ode/poem had our one and only "official" rehersal out of sight and hearing range of Nanna. Throughout the party, we all enjoyed mingling with the friends of Nanna, and with our family. Most everyone 20 and older was drinking at least a little. I had 2 beers, and a glass of wine interupted with a can of Coke and some food. I was no where near drunk! We had one segmented rehersal in about 25 seconds to make our final preps for the ode/poem reading before we actually went in and did it (all by memory...every single one of the seven of us involved with it!). I later recieved an e-mail saying that even proffesional actors/actresses couldnt have had more stage precence than we did!
Sunday-
Some tubing, but not much, a lot of badmitton. Most every left that evening except my family and my moms older sisters family, making Nanna and buppa, my parents, my aunt Julie, and my three cousins, myself, and my brother the last ones at the lake. This prompted some games and other stuff.
Ill write monday later.

Well it's the seventh...and if you didnt already know I will be leaving early tomarow morning (aka by 4:30 am) to get to a ferry in Ludington so I can get to the family reunion! I am so excited for the reunion, and for the summer olympics. How much better can it get???
In other news:
Last nights Loons game was rained out, so tonight we have a double header (two seven inning games). Oh the joys of showing up for work at 4PM, and staying until they close the food service stand you work down. On a normal night (with only one game) Im at work from 5:20 pm until about 10 pm. But when theres a double header (like tonight) I arrive at 4pm, and will probobly get home around 11. Its a good amount of time to work, but when you have to be up at 3:30 the next day, its no fun being up that late. Tonight is Instant Vacation night, so we (the staff) can dress up like we're going on vacation. For me this means a hat that reminds my mom of giligans island, some sunscreen on the nose, a t-shirt from tahquamenon falls, a pair of jeans, and my normal shoes. Now if I only had sunglasses!!! That would make it even more vacation like...
I'm gonna get out of here now, and start making my way out of the library towards work...just what I would really like to be doing right now (NOT!).

Babysitting for some friends
Ive been at a friends house babysitting for the past hour and a half. Im babysitting their two kids and a friend of theirs. I dont know what time the friends parents (who I know) will turn up, or when their parents will return. The three kids have to go to bed at about 9 tonight.
Thankfully all three kids play together very well, which makes my job easy. Im sitting in the living room with them while they play mario cart on the wii writing this. It makes my life easy when I can write and watcha and talk to the kids all at once.
