Oh gosh! I once again went into a period of absence. My sincerest apologies! Alas, I've been trying to commit more to coming around. However, things come up here and there, which take me away from this and that. Isn't that how life seems to go? *smiles*
Ah, I'm glad you liked my dad's car. It rides really smoothly and is very spacious - my gosh, is it spacious! Funny, my mom kept getting on my dad, saying "Don't drive it over 60 mph!" Pfft. Yeah right! Lol Well, I think for the first 300 miles, they say don't push it (i.e. 65+ mph). However, my dad knocked over 300 miles in just 3 days. He does a LOT of traveling. The HHR that I have now was his car that he used for traveling. In one year, he racked up 26,000+ miles on it. Geez o' whizzy! O_O
On another note... With this blog thingy, I'm just playing around with some ideas to make it clear and legible for all people using whatever browser (IE, Mozilla, etc.). The Mozilla tends to be less responsive, if you will, when it comes to certain codes, like color codes. Thus, if you're using Mozilla, you may not see the pretty blues and hues seen from an IE point of view. I'll toy with it more. ^^
So Far Behind
Not only am I behind in your lives, but I feel like I'm getting behind in my studies, namely piano. I need to really work on these songs. Only 3 or so lessons left and that's it! O_O May try to go in extra early tomorrow to practice and brace myself for my teacher's thrashing. Heehee. Tough love...
While I Was Away...
Note: Rather long section! Feel free to skim or skip it. ^_^
Friday
I had off today: no school, no work, nothing! It felt so great. My sister also had most of the day off, so she and I thought we'd go shopping for our mom, whose birthday would be the next day. ^^ We went to the Annapolis mall, ate pizza at the California Pizza place (so yummy!), and browsed so many shops. My mom is so hard to shop for! I swear, she doesn't need anything but maybe a dumpster. Lol After 5 hours of walking around, we decided upon a couple nice things for her: button-up, sweater, necklace, and chocolate. ^^ Seriously though... I hate shopping for long periods of time... Kills the feet!
Saturday
Today turned out a bit different than what was planned. If you recall from my previous posts, last Saturday was supposed to be a wedding day. However, I didn't find out until last Thursday that it was bumped up to this upcoming Saturday. It's going to be one heck of a doozy with soooo much planned as it. Not only are we going to have the wedding, but we're also holding an opening ceremony for our church's building. It looks great by the way. We've started to lay down the floor; that should be done within the next week or so. So exciting! XD
So anyway, this past Saturday was also my mom's birthday. After working on the building project for a good long time, I headed straight across the street to Applebees. That's where my folks and I would meet. It was nice just chillin' with them without any fussing and whatnot. The food was all right, but the service was horrible. I mean, it wasn't our waitress: she was fine. But those cooks or whatever... But hey, it was a busy Saturday night, so it shouldn't have been a surprise. They did give us a coupon for the next time we came. ^^
My dad sent back Grave of the Fireflies and ordered Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shambala from NetFlix. It came in on Saturday. So after a long work day and a nice meal in my tummy, I watched and enjoyed it! Finally too... *faints* X3 It's probably been a year since I've seen the conclusion of the series itself. The movie was a great way to conclude the series although I still feel as though it missed something. Can't put my finger on it for sure... I'll have to watch it again. ^^
Sunday
After church, we further celebrated my mom's birthday with my sister and brother-in-law. My mom loved her gifts. However, the shirt was too small, and, of course, she let us know that. Lol. Oh well, can't win them all, right?
Know Your Anime!
Well done, well done! This game is a piece of cake for a lot of you. Sheesh!
Last time's Unknown was:
Haku - "Naruto"
So let's move on to today's new "Unknown":
Hmmm... Who is this character? Did I make it too easy? Lol
~_*~_*~_*~_*~_*~_*~_*~_*~_*~_*~_*~_*~_*~_*~
I hope to make some visits throughout the day. Right now, I'm at work, of which I don't have a lot. I'm trying to thinnly spread what I do have, but it won't last. Poo. Oh well! ^^
Buh-Bye! ~_o
