Today I Did!!!.... Nothing.

I was EXTREMELY productive today. That is, if productive means sitting around and doing nothing. I stayed up all night because I couldn't sleep, finally dozed away, and woke up around 11:30. I know. Lazy butt. Anyway, I then proceeded to lay in bed and watch Friends, the best sitcom ever made. Ever. I had lunch, I swam for about an hour and a half. Then to books!

I did do one productive thing today: I cleaned all the hardwood in the house. And that alone was almost too much for me. I need to get ahold of some Ambien or something, see if I can fix this sleep problem I've developed. Thanks Mother, your genes suck.

Anyway, I need to pack, because tomorrow I head out to CHICAGO! Road trip with my sister and my favorite uncle, and no crazy fighting because none of the other siblings are going. Love them and love traveling with them, but sometimes it's nice not to hear yelling and bickering every five seconds. We're seeing Million Dollar Quartet while we're there, so hopefully that will be good. We'll see. My sister also expressed a vehement desire to go to a zoo, so I'll most likely be spending four to five hours walking around looking at precious animals. My heart feels for them sometimes though, holed up as they sometimes are.

Ah well, I must get my butt of the laptop I've been on for the past what... Two hours now? Gotta quit this. Today better than the last? Meh, not so much.

Three Family Members, Two Nights, and A Doctor

So I know that it's technically Tuesday now... But I'm going to pretend that it's still Monday.

I just got home a few hours ago from Dallas. I had an appointment with and orthopedic specialist there, but more on that in a minute. I traveled with my mother, sister, and brother, and it was a short and tiring trip. First, Brea was in a bad mood (like always) most of the time, so there was a lot of snapping, yelling, and bickering from her. Jerad was chill. We got there Saturday, had dinner, went to a movie, did a little shopping. But the real fun came yesterday when we went to Six Flags. Love me some roller coasters. It was stupid hot, but not very busy at all so we didn't have to do a lot of waiting in lines, and sometimes we didn't have to wait at all!

Then today came the appointment. So I was born without a properly formed left hip socket. Basically it just didn't exist. There was virtually no joint there, to put it simply. So seventeen years and seven surgeries later, I'm in Dallas for a check up with a doctor I started seeing last year. Basically just seeing what my hip is looking like, if it's bothering me, what to do in the future, etc. It was good news. Hip looks the same, everything's good, see you next summer! That's always good news. But now it's only a matter of time before that "everything's good" turns into "we might want to look into..." But oh well. There's nothing I can do about that.

Anyway, when all that was said and done, we headed home and arrive around 9:00-9:30ish. Since then I've been on this laptop, checking on Facebook, procrastinating on YouTube, finally cracking down on some English work, and then proceeding to this blog. Lovely.

So this weekend was good? Better than the last:)

Time on My Hands

Yesterday I had my last performance of The Twelve Dancing Princesses. I woke up today and realized that I no longer have to attend rehearsals three or four times a week. Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, I'm free at last! I did enjoy getting to hang out with most of the people in the play, and I had some really great times, but seriously, I couldn't be more happy that it's over. It was cute and everything, but in all honesty it was a little lame, which is to be expected since it's a little child's fairy tale. But it was great experience, since I love drama. It was actually my first starring role. I was Cornelia, the eldest princess, who found the man of her dreams and eventually married him. I mean it was my first starring role if you don't count the fact that I was Guenevere's understudy in Camelot, which technically I don't since I was the understudy. But I did get to perform as Guenevere, so I guess it was halfway a starring role.

Yesterday was a good day. Not only did we perform, I got to wear this amazing new dress that I got last week, and then we had pizza for supper, which I had been craving. I guess I enjoy the little things. But after the performance we had to strike, which wasn't exactly fun. Oh well. Yesterday pretty much was better than the day before.

I'm hoping the same will hold true for today. I woke up and cleaned my room up a bit, I'm about to watch Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets with my sister, and later several of my friends are coming over to swim, then Maria and Georgia are staying the night. So unless something catastrophic happens, today should be better than the last.
