   And on the seventh day, HE RESTED.
Geez, I've had a busy day. =/

After waking up at 7:30 this morning, I decided I didn't really want to get up, take a shower, and go to 8:30 mass. I wanted to go back to bed. So, after taking a side trip to the bathroom, I went back to bed. My mom was sitting on the couch reading, and I explained the situation to her before hopping lightly up the stairs.


A couple hours later, I got up and got ready for 11:00 mass. We were late, as usual. Victoria was the only altar server, and her mom covertly asked me to dress up and join her. I know how much it sucks to be the only altar server, but I haven't served in months, and they've changed things since then. I prodded my younger sister Emily into doing it instead.

Mass progressed as it normally did. *shrug*

We went from the church to Stop and Shop, where we picked up some groceries so that my mom could overwrite a check. We then went to Wal-Mart, so she could overwrite another check and get more cash.

We had plans to go to the Tall Ships thingy down by the river, and it was expensive.

It also wasn't worth it. =/

After eating lunch, me, my mom, and the two youngest headed down to the river to check out all of the ships and booths and such.

There was a bluegrass band there, composed of a number of Russian kids from 11 to 18 years old. They were very good, I thought. It's a shame we only got to see three of their songs.

So, we went on a couple of sailboats.

Yeah.

Sailboats.

With sails.





The food booths smelled good. >_>
I had eaten before I went there, to prevent me from eating something I shouldn't eat. A good thing, too, as there was a spicy "shrimp on the barby" thing at this Australian food booth. Mmmmm mmmmm that smelled good. But, again, the price was steep. $8 for a little shrimp-filled wrap. =/

I saw some plankton on one of the ships. That was boring.

Most of the ships closed an hour earlier than they were supposed to. My sister took a few pictures.

I had my mom take one of me perplexedly staring down the barrel of a cannon. Fun.

All in all, the whole thing sucked.

My mom drove Michael and I home, and then she and my sister went back to watch the ships cast off and leave. My other sister came and picked Michael and I up. We went over to my aunt and uncle's house for a random picnic.

Chili, saurkreut, hot dogs, tortilla chips, and many fabulous desserts. I didn't touch a thing.

I was so proud of myself. ^____^

I played with my cousin, Sophie, who just turned 6. Then I hung out with Jack, their new dog. Jack's teething, and so he likes to nip at people. He especially wanted to have a go at my ears and nose. Cartilage makes for good chewing, I guess.

My mom and Emily had driven over after the boats went out, and so I was provided with a ride home when I got hungry. We went to Quizno's to get my dad dinner with the gift certificate he won from a radio station. I got myself a nice salad, in addition to his. 0:)

We went and dropped off my dad's salad with him at the golf course. Then we drove home, where I ravenously dug into my own. After that I drained a bottle of water and headed upstairs.

Not much happened today, but it seems to have taken a lot of time to accomplish that very little. :p

Eating Log.

Starting from the most recent, and then I delve into the past that is this morning. >_>;;

An apple. Yum.
That Quizno's salad, with roast beef and bacon bits and cheese and barbeque sauce and ranch dressing. It was scrumptuous.
A yogurt, which wound up being not-good for my eating. 30-something grams of carbs and 28 of sugar. >.>;; My bad.
I had sushi for lunch. ^_^ I enjoyed it, but I don't know how bad it is with the sticky rice on the outside. Meh, I'll live.

I can't remember what I had for breakfast. =/

Oh! Right! My dad made me an omelette. :D It had some sort of sausage-ish thing in it. And it tasted very good. Yum indeed.

Plus water.

Yay for healthy living!
