I can't wait to get it! On the back is engraved "Taylor Tot/Build Me Up ButterCupp." Hopefully Kevin and I don't break up, because that would suck to have that on there. Hehe. But I am pretty sure we won't, so...yay! :-D Hehe. Oh, and it's white, and it's 4GB. Kevin ordered it for me yesterday, and it shipped today! I should get it by Wednesday. *waits very impatiently* The bad thing is I have to sit around and wait for it to show up because it requires signature. Ughedness!
Anyway, yesterday I had a chem test. I thought I did pretty good. :-) Yay! Then Kevin and I went to work. I ended up going to Sharky's with Graham. Kevin met up with us so I could give him a check so he could order my ipod for me! :-) Then I went to work, and then home. I made dinner! I made Manicotti with Three Cheeses. Yum! My dad really liked it, and my brother ate a lot of it, so i guess he liked it too. Then I went to Wendy's with Kevin and got a frosty, and went to his house and watched the thursday night line up on NBC. :-)
I didn't have class today! :-D Yay, so i've just been here at work.

New Toy!!!
On our way home Saturday, Kevin and I stopped at Tyson's Corner. I got an i-dog. :-) He's lots of fun. I'm enjoying him. His name is Noah Kevin. hehe.
It sucks...the past few nights of sleep haven't been very good. Which makes me tired throughout the day. Which makes me not go to work. Which makes Kevin think I'm irresponsible.
I'd really like summer to be here already.

DC Adventure: Day 3
Well...our last and final day started out a bit disappointing. We got up for breakfast and ate it here. We went out to the metro, and it took three times as long to get there because of a lot of traffic headed toward Springfield. Then we went to Washington Monument, but they were already out of tickets. We went to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing but they were sold out of tickets too. We continued on our walk that way to go to Jefferson Memorial. We saw the cherry blossoms, but they wern't really in bloom yet. They are suppose to be in full bloom Monday. We walked around the water to the FDR Memorial. I really liked it the last time we were there, but the water wasn't running. That was sad. The time we were there it was night, and really pretty. And quite romantic I have to admit. Too bad we were only 13. We didn't appreciate it. We were tired of walking and were hungry, so we got food to eat. Very expensive. Then we headed over to the Air and Space Museum and saw "Infinity Express" in the planetarium and "Roving Mars" at the IMAX theater. They were neat. Then we went home. We were tired. We wanted to go to Tyson's but there just wasn't any time. Maybe we'll go tomorrow. But tomorrow is sleeping. Hehe.

DC Adventure: Day 2
We started out the morning with breakfast here. My grandma took us to the metro station and we were off. We got off at the Arlington Cemetery. We saw JFK's Eternal Flame and went up to the Arlington House. It is really neat how they have the graves arranged. My grandparents said if there is still room, they'll be barried there. (My grandfather was a commander in the Navy.) Kevin took lots of pictures. Then we tried going to see the cherry blossoms the way the map said, but it didn't work. And it was scary, because we went under a bridge and there was like a homeless person's "house" there. It made me really nervous. Maybe it shouldn't have, but it did. :-/ We decided to forget trying to get there from there and go see the memorials. We went to most of them around there. We went up to the washington monument, then over to the fence of the White house, we saw the new WWII memorial. That was pretty, but I wish the water had been in the pond thingy, that would have made it prettier. Then we walked down the reflecting pool, Kevin kept pretending to push me in, goshhhh! Haha, then we saw the vietnam memorial. In 8th grade Civics we had to write a paper about one of the people on that wall. We went on a site and chose one person, saw the information about them, and we could make up a story or write a factual story. I looked up for someone with my last name, but there are too many "White's," so instead I looked up my mom's maiden name, "Maccubbin." None of those, so I looked up my grandma's maiden name, "Klinger." I got Henry Chester Klinger. I wrote a pretty good paper. If I think about it and have the time, I might post it on here. I thought it was pretty good for a thirteen year old. I should find it. Anyway, then we went up to the lincoln memorial. And then around to the Korean War Memorial. Then we were too tired to walk over Jefferson Memorial, and we were really hungry. We hadn't eatten since 9:30 and it was near 3. We tried going to one cafeteria thingy, but it closed at three. So I got some pizza and then we went to the air and space museum so Kevin could get some Mickey D's and we watched another IMAX movie. It was "Walking on the Moon." It was pretty neat, but we were in there with a bunch of kids, so...that was kind of annoying when they were trying to reach for the 3D things coming "out of the screen." We came back here after that because we were really tired. We ate dinner and have been watching tv. It's nice sitting down. :-)

DC Adventure: Day 1
I woke up early. About 6ish. Because the sun was shining right through my window and I can't sleep when it's bright. I just layed there for a bit, and then took a shower. I got ready and finally was able to wake up the sleepy head Kevin. Hehe. My grandma took us out to a local coffee shop. I got a hot chocolate and a bagel. Kevin got his vanilla latte and a sandwich. Then she took us over to the metro station and we were off. The metro was fine. Check out Kevin's moblog for pics. I have a link down there. It's under "My Man's Pics." Hehe. He took some really good pictures. Anyway, we went to the National Museum of American History first. Looked a some things around there. It's the museum with archie bunker's chair, the ruby slippers from Wizard of Oz, and it had some Ray Charles stuff. Oh, and it had a really nice section called "The Price of Freedom: Americans at War." It was all about the wars and everything. They had a piece of metal from the South Tower of the Trade Center there too. Then we went next door to the National Museum of Natural History. We got tickets for an IMAX movie "Aliens of the Deep." We looked around the museum some and got a little snack before we saw the movie. It was pretty cool. It was 3D, but sometimes that really hurt my eyes. So, it took away from it some. Then we went over to the Air and Space Museum. We looked around there. We got lunch there. And then we walked over to the capitol so Kevin could take pictures of it. We tried to go to the Botanic Gardens (or whatever it was called) but when we walked in the guy said it was going to close in four minutes. So we just went home. My back was hurting, and we were both really tired. The ride home was a little crowded, but we got seats before the crowds. (it was rush hour) We got home and ate and had yummy brownies. And now we're watching Idol!
Greetings From Your Nation's Capitol...or the Capitol of the USA, depending on where you're from :-P
Kevin and I got up here just fine. It rained a bit in Christiansburg, but it was pretty much dry all the way up until near Staunton. It misted it a bit there. And a bit more north we got some snow flurries. But just a tad. So it wasn't bad at all. We stopped in Woodstock for lunch. About 5 or so years ago in Woodstock, VA we got back together for the last time. Well...back then anyway. We were coming home from the 8th grade DC trip :-P. Hehe. We spent a lot of time together on that trip. The only parts of that trip I really remember were him. And some awesome ice drink thing I got in the Museum of Art. Hehe. My grandfather took us down to the metro and explained stuff. I've used a metro before, so I thought it kind of silly. But, I know it's the first time we've been on the metro without an elder with us, so I let him do his whole speal. Hehe. I haven't been on the metro in a while though. A few years.
Today Kevin and I are going to explore around the Smithsonian a bit I think. My grandma is taking us to breakfast, and then taking us to the metro station so that we won't have to park there, since parking is a pain.
stay tuned! hehe

Top ELEVEN!!!
Theme ---> Barry Manilow--Back to the 50's
Mandisa -- "I don't hurt anymore"
Her hair is pretty. I didn't really like the song. I don't know it, that might be why, but I didn't enjoy it. Her singing was pretty good though.
Bucky -- "Oh Boy"
I didn't like the song. I didn't like the way he sang it. I think this will get him kicked off. :-( But I really enjoyed the mic twirl at the end. *agrees with Simon* (He thought it was a so what preformance, a karaoke preformance)
Paris -- "Fever" (GOOD SONG!)
I really enjoyed that. I like that song, so...yay. I can't believe she's 17. So yay! Again, haha. I like that dress too.
Chris -- "I Walk the Line"
I liked it. He rocked it out man...hehe.
Katharine -- "Rain or Shine"
It was really good. I didn't like the last note though. Cute dress.
Taylor -- "Fade Away"
His dance moves are so random, it's funny. Hehe. I'm not sure if I liked the vocals all that much, but I enjoyed the over all performance.
Lisa -- "Why Do Fools Fall In Love"
It was okay. I felt it lacked a certain presence in it. I don't know. It was just okay.
Kevin -- "When I Fall in Love"
I enjoyed it. I liked how he looked like he was in a musical, and walking along in a park with his hand in his pocket. That's what I saw anyway. I liked it! :-)
Elliott -- "Teach Me Tonight"
I didn't really care for it. It got a little better by the end though. It was "eh"
Kellie -- "Walkin' After Midnight"
I really like her outfit, I don't like her make-up. I really like that song, and she did it well.
Ace -- "In The Still of the Night"
MAKE HIM SHUT UP! I didn't like that at all. Ugh. Make him go away.
Mandisa -- "I don't hurt anymore"

It's been a while...
Usually I update everyday. Wow. But no one reads this but Kevin, so...it's okay.
Yesterday I went over to Kevin's. We went to Macado's for some yummy dessert that we missed out getting the night before because Gordon came home late again, and I wasn't able to leave their house until later, so I was too tired to go. But that night was 6 months for Kevin and I!! :-) A whole half of a year! Hehe. Then we went back to his house and watched Pearl Harbor, it's a good story. When it got to the bad part (I mean the actual attack), I curled up with him on his chair. Then we went to Cracker Barrell for some food, and then over to wally world. I was beginning to get really tired at that point. But we went back to his house and watched some mandy moore videos (you're not gay, sweetie ;-)) and family guy. Then I went home and crashed.
Tomorrow we're suppose to leave for DC!!! Hopefully that will happen. Stupid winter weather, doesn't mother nature know it's now spring!?
Oh, happy spring by the way! Haha.

Remember those songs you use to love?
So I am watching "American Inventor," a new show on ABC. And Evan from "Evan and Jaron" who sang "Crazy for this girl" had a random invention, I wasn't even paying attention, but they played the song that they sang. And I use to love that song. I would listen to it wishing that someone actually felt that way about me. I would wish and hope that someone would think to dedicate it to me over the radio one night. Haha, I have crazy unrealistic daydreams sometime. Anyway, i opened up my iTunes and listened to it again. :-)
She rolls the window down
And she
Talks over the sound
Of the cars that pass us by
And I don’t know why
But she’s changed my mind
Chorus:Would you look at her
She looks at me
She’s got me thinking about her constantly
But she don’t know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she’s figured out
I’m crazy for this girl
She was the one to hold me
The night
The sky fell down
And what was I thinking when
The world didn’t end
Why didn’t I know what I know now
Chorus
Right now
Face to face
All my fears
Pushed aside
And right now
I’m ready to spend the rest of my life
With you
Chorus 2x

Top 12 -- My thoughts in real time...as the show is on!!!
First off, I heart what Kelly is wearing tonight! haha.
The theme tonight ---> Stevie Wonder
The night starts out with....Ace: "I do I do"
No no no no. What is he doing? *shakes head* It sounds awful. Randy says it was "aight"...Paula thinks it was fantastic...Simon thinks the audience is easily pleased, haha, he agreed with Randy, said it was "a bit manic" haha
Next up we have...Kelly: "Blame it on the Sun"
It was kinda boring, but I liked it. Randy, "It didn't work for me, but I love the shoes!" Kelly, "Thank you! I got them on sale!" Paula, "A little too safe." Simon, "Everything went wrong tonight." "It was boring." "It looks like you went to Dolly Parton school with the way you look tonight." "Your worst preformace so far." Kelly, "I'm sorry!"
Now we have...Elliott: "Knocks Me Off My Feet."
It was okay, I wasn't thrilled with it. I like his hair cut. Randy, "It was good, it was good, it was good." Paula, "I love your passion, I think you're an amazing singer." Simon, "best so far, but no wow factor."
YAY!!! ....Mandisa: "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing"
Barefoot Mandisa! Haha, a little low in the beginning, but it's sounding great! I'm not worried about her! ;-) Hehe. Yes, I made a funny. :-P *claps* That was great! Randy, "You were amazing last week, this wasn't as great as last week." "You're the best so far." Paula, "You can sing anything!" Simon, "Now we have a competition! Best so far."
And now...Bucky: "Superstition"
He's sounding really good! Though his hair makes him look like a blonde Ace. Randy, "Right choice for you." "I really enjoyed it, dude, I actually really enjoyed it!" Paula, "i actually enjoyed hearing you singing stevie wonder too, i wish you had gotten out of your comfort zone a little though." Simon, "I thought it was one of your best performances so far, but we've got to talk about this Jessica Simpson hair style..."
Next is...Melissa: "Lately"
Eww...ew...ew...I've never really liked her. Goodbye. Randy, "You forgot the lyrics in front of stevie, and now..." "You definately have pipes, you can sing." Paula, "You should wear dresses more often, when you open your mouth to sing it's definately very refreshing." Simon, "In my opinion, that was your best performance so far." Hmm...maybe it's just because I don't like her that much.
annnndddd....Lisa: "Signed, Sealed, Delivered"
I like her hair straight. I think I've said that before. It sounds good, but it misses what Simon calls a "wow" factor. Fantasia did this song really well last season. Randy, "The hottest part of that song really was the end, during the middle of the song I was kinda getting bored." Paula, "You were a little nervous tonight, I could tell." "When you took those chances, that is the Lisa that I love." Simon, "You took control of the stage." "It was great, I loved it."
Chicken Little's twin!!!....Kevin Covais: "Part Time Lover"
Yay! He sounds really great. Though he looked like he was marching there at first, he was getting his toe up! Doc would be proud ;-) haha. I'm really enjoying this. *claps* Yay! Randy *chuckles* "Dude, man, dude, listen listen, I love you man!" "Dude, you're wearing make up!" Paula, "Way to go!" Simon, "This was the point in the show where Stevie Wonder turns down the volume, it was appauling." Kevin, "it's okay, I wasn't expecting much from you anyway."
Now a little....Katharine: "Until You Come Back to Me"
I don't like her dress, I'd like it if you cut off the bottom, and had it like a shirt. I thought it was pretty good. A bit boring at first, but I got into it. Randy, "America she's back." "Dude, you're the bomb!" Paula, "Tonight was your best performance ever." Simon, "Katharine, you're good." "There is something that is reminding me, vocally, of Kelly Clarkson."
How about some....Taylor: "Livin' for the City"
This guy can really sing. I like how he looks like he really enjoys singing it, he really gets into it. Yay Taylor! :-) Randy, "That was a hot performance, you were fearless!" Paula, "You are such a fun performer and you have so much passion, this is just what you need to be doing to make everyone happy the rest of your life." Simon, "You're like every dad who get's drunk at a wedding." "The difference is you can sing."
And then some...Paris: "All I Do"
I can't believe she's so young. She sounds really great! I love her shoes! Randy, "You're unbelievable tonight." Paula, "You could teach a lot of performers how to do it out there." Simon, "You're so confident, you're like a performing little doll, wind her up and there you go."
Last but not least...Chris: "Higher Ground"
I like the energy the stage has got going on. It was really good! :-) I makes me miss Bo, though. :-( Randy, "Dude you worked it out, baby you worked it out!" Paula, "I never worry, I just sit back and enjoy, you're fantastic." Simon, "Chris. Thank god for Chris." "I actually could imagine you having a hit with that record." "Best tonight by a mile."
The theme tonight ---> Stevie Wonder

Last but not least...Chris: "Higher Ground"
I like the energy the stage has got going on. It was really good! :-) I makes me miss Bo, though. :-( Randy, "Dude you worked it out, baby you worked it out!" Paula, "I never worry, I just sit back and enjoy, you're fantastic." Simon, "Chris. Thank god for Chris." "I actually could imagine you having a hit with that record." "Best tonight by a mile."
An Inquiry...
Does anyone understand the "love quote of the day" down there on the right??? I don't get it, and I would love an explination. Hehe :-) Thanks.

Blast from the Past
<---That thing is so scary, especially when your boyfriend is trying to kill you! Haha, but I had a blast with him tonight :-)
So, Kevin and I visited our rock tonight. He wrapped his arms around me and we looked at the stars and just sat there together. :-) It was perfect. I kept thinking how wonderful it felt to be in his arms, and how I wanted to stay there forever. It felt like home :-)
Feels Like Home
There's something in your eyes
Makes me wanna lose my self,
Makes me wanna lose myself in your heart,
There's something in your voice
That makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
For the rest of my life
If you knew how lonely
My life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
A window breaks down on lumdard street
And a siren rings in the night
But I'm all right cuz I have you here with me,
And I can almost see through the dark there is light
Well if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.
I heard it in How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days. I really like that movie. Call me a girl, but I love chick flicks! :-) Hehe.

Tell me it's the real thing
The Inn at Virginia Tech!
So...my day started out early. I woke up at about 6, got ready and waited on my mom to finish getting ready. Then we went over to the Inn. Dawn was there! She's been in Richmond, so I haven't seen much of her in a while. So I helped my mom, and Patsy, and Dawn, and some guy who couldn't figure out how to put the string onto the name tag. Hehe, he came up to me and said, "Can I ask you a technical question?" And I was like, great, I don't know technical things, I'm going to look stupid, but it was as easy as sticking a piece of metal through a hole! Hehe. My mom left and I stayed with Dawn. We went down and got some food. I had a very tastey muffin :-P and she took me back over to my car which was at work. I waited a little while, and Kevin wasn't showing up, so I just called him out of me being very impatient. Haha, turns out he forgot to set his alarm, and he had just woken up. So I picked him up at his house so he could get ready and not have to worry about meeting me. We got to class right on time. Class was okay. He freaked out because he was ahead of his syllabus...haha. Oh...I had chemistry today, that's with Adcock. Oh, and there is this big thing about teachers, administration, and some students kissing a pig to raise money. It's weird. Haha. I was thinking of signing up Kevin...but then I'd have to kiss him eventually after he kissed that pig, so I don't think I'd do that. Hehe. After class we went to KFC, then I took him to work and I went to work. I did the mail for Mary and entered a heck of a lot of people, then I went and got Kevin, took him home, then I went home. When my parents got home, there was nothing to eat, so the three of us went to Outback. Then we came home and watched idol.
NO MORE WILL!!!! :-( gosh
all others who got kicked off I am perfectly happy with, they were Gedeon, Kinnik, and Alya. I would have preferred Melissa kicked off before Alya, but I'm glad Alya is gone, especially since she apparently reminds Kevin of his ex. We don't need that, now do we? nooo
so, that's all I have for ya now.
*listens to Transatlanticism* It's putting me to sleep! But it's a good song. :-)

AMERICAN IDOL WOMEN!
The night starts out with the lovely young lady Paris Bennett. I really liked what she did. I love what she's wearing!!! :-) (1-866-IDOLS-01) Lisa Tucker, another one of my favorites. Ooo, straight hair tonight, it's really pretty. I really like what she's wearing to. Wow, she's good. Both Paris and her are so young! But really good. Lisa's number is 1-866-IDOLS-02. (she's choosing songs that seems like her mum is choosing them, hehe, I heart Simon's accent) Melissa McGhee...I don't want her to go into the top 10. I don't like what's she's wearing. I don't like her. NO...NO...no. And I don't want my boyfriend to watch her because she's way too skankly dressed! So she sould not continue on. RIGHT ON SIMON! (He says that she just booked her flight ticket home) I'm not giving you her number. She's gone this week. FINALLY. Kinnik Sky up next, I want her gone too. But I might have a change of heart. We'll see. Nope, she sucked. BYE BYE! I'm not giving you her number either. Katharine McPhee - good, not fabulous, but good. The end was a little...eh...but it was good. I'll give you her number - 1-866-IDOLS-05. Alya Brown - I thought it was good. 1-866-IDOLS-06. Mandisa - she's really good! I enjoy her a lot. 1-866-IDOLS-07. BENCHMARK SWEET! Kelly Pickler - I liked it. :-) 1-866-IDOLS-08
Kicked off --->Melissa and Kinnik
TOP 6 ---> Paris, Lisa, Katharine, Alya, Mandisa, and the very blonde Kelly
(top 5 should be all but Alya, I wouldn't mind her gone either)

memories, all alone in the moonlight *sings like summer in School of Rock*
So for some reason today I thought about that "middle-school crush feeling." The feeling you get when you're in middle school, and you have a big crush, and your friend asks your crush if he'll be your boyfriend? That feeling. Haha...
...I don't know why these things pop in my head. Anyway, it reminded me of the first time I asked out Kevin. WAYYYY back in 7th grade (at the end). I had liked him sorta for a while. I had planned on asking him out after one of those middle school dances. We danced together, like..you know...far apart, but then the second time we danced, Elaine pushed us together. Hehe. I liked being with him. BUT turns out he had a girlfriend. A very possessive short girlfriend. Haha, so that changed that. But when I did get around to finally asking...I had Devon do the honors. We were all standing around out in the hall. Kevin was sitting in math class, or something, i'm not sure. And Devon was like, I'll go do it!!! And then that feeling came. The omg-I'm-going-to-throw-up-I-have-to-hide-right-now-feeling. But as much as you are afraid of rejection, you always have that small glimmer of hope that as soon as your friend gets back, she's beaming from ear to ear and saying yes. And then you get that omg-I-totally-have-a-boyfriend-feeling. Hehe. I have no idea why he said yes that day, but I'm glad we did. I had fun with him in 8th grade. Yeah we broke up lots...cause of me...but...when we were together it was great. :-) Throughout high school I always missed those days. Everything was a lot simpler.
I'm glad we found eachother again! :-D
edit:Kevin,"hehe i was actually at my locker, devon came up to me and was all, "if taylor asked you out, would you say yes?" i was all, "yeah" so she went, told you, came back, the asked me out for you"
p.s. comments please

Just sittin waiting for the Kev-miester...
Hey you all...what's up? My lab was cancelled today. So I'm waiting around for Kevin to finish up his lab. Joy...hehe.
What's with this leaving no comments, huh? First of all, I have a counter that tells me how many people look at this thing. So...it's been a 17o-something since I got it, and I know half of that is Kevin ;-) but still, I get like one comment a month. How do you think that makes me feel? Yeah, so...if you could just say hey or something, or even be like "i don't comment because your posts suck" that'd be great. Atleast I'd be getting a comment! So......yeah. Thanks.
Kevin and I watched "Yours, Mine, and Ours" today while waiting for lab to come around. It's actually a pretty sweet movie. I teared up just a smidge at the end. But we knew they'd become friends trying to break their parents up. That was obvious, but it was still sweet. Like when that Nick guy hits on Christina, and Nick is with Phoebe, and Christina thought Nick was cute and all before, but she was all, "NO WAY, i wouldn't do that to my sister." And I thought, aww.
Last night Kevin and I went to Taco Bell for dinner. It was nice to get out of the house, especially with him. I was so tired of writing that paper. Even though I really only wrote half of it since I just expanded one of my other papers and made it so it fit into my "question." Hopefully I'll get another 100! :-)
sorry with all the links, but it's keeping me from boredum!
oh, p.s. I'm going to get an ipod nano! :-)

Long time me no write...
*watches academy awards*
so, tomorrow is monday, doesn't that just blow? haha
this weekend has been fun. my wonderful kevin and i have spent lots of time together and it's been wonderful. :-)
oh, I saw Jessie's new son! He's so adorable! You look at him and you just have to smile. But for some reason, i just can't hold babies. Like the really new ones. (he was two days old when i saw him, he's four days old now, haha) But I just won't hold them. I'm weird, I wonder what I'll do when I have one. I'll be like..."aw so cute, what hold it? no thanks, just put it right there were i can look at it, thanks!" I'm so weird.
I'm just trying to matter too.
nighty night all.

*So Happy Together*
GO KEVIN COVAIS!!! I can't believe he was in the bottom three!!! (it's cause I forgot to vote last night :-/)
So...I was 2 for 4 again. Brenna, Heather, David, and Sway were all booted off Idol. totally fine with me! :-)
Kevin went to wally world and got the picture of me and him from valentine's day printed. Yay! I love that guy. :-) Hehe. That was my suprise for today. Went took our tests and then went to work. Before that we walked from my work over to KFC and got some food. Then I did the whole work thing. I did the mail and entered a bunch of stuff. I've been doing good there this week. I've actually been getting work done, yay me! Hehe.
Then I went home just before 5, and waited like years for my parents to come home. They finally did and we dropped off Mac at the HS and went to Macados. Then we went to Mill Mountain for hot chocolate, then we went back to the HS to see the concert. We saw the last two songs. Haha. I got to see everyone, which made me happy. But I never saw Stu. :-( Oh well. CASEY DOESN'T HAVE HAIR...well, okay, he does...but not as much, haha. Then we came home and watched the recorded Idol, and then the Office, and now whatever is on the TV right now that I haven't been paying attention to. Haha. (p.s. I loved getting like a bajillion hugs today :-) and i'm glad everyone likes my hair! :-)) Oh! and I talked to Dave. he was like, you better practice your trombone!!!! Haha.
TOMORROW IS FRIDAY! :-)
