"TGIF"

It is Friday!!!!!!!!! Another week over with. Yesterday my volleyball tournament started at 8:30 AM(so we had to leave our school at 6:30 AM) and lasted until 6:30 PM. We did not get home until about 8:30 last night. Of course that was after we stopped at Arby's on the way home. Anyway, we played around twenty matches and ended up winning second place in the gold bracket. I am so sore.

My dad and my three brothers went up north to a cabin of one of my relatives. They will be gone until Monday; so Mom and I are going to have some fun this weekend! Shopping, restaurants, games, I cannot wait! We always end up having fun no matter where we are.

Here are just some funny little stories for your enjoyment!
(Location Unknown): A man successfully broke into a bank's basement through a street-level window, cutting himself up pretty badly in the process. He then realized that: (1) he could not get to the money from where he was,(2) he could not climb back out the window through which he had entered, and (3) he was bleeding pretty badly. So he located a phone and dialed "911" for help ...

(Location Unknown): A man walked into a Circle-K (a convenience store similar to a 7-11), put a $20 bill on the counter and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled-- leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer? Fifteen dollars.

Kentucky: Two men tried to pull the front off a cash machine by running a chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck. Instead of pulling the front panel off the machine, though, they pulled the bumper off their truck. Scared, they left the scene and drove home. With the chain still attached to the machine. With their bumper still attached to the chain. With their vehicle's license plate still attached to the bumper.

Just Another Day In Paradise....

I woke up this morning, finally able to sleep in! It felt so good, so right. Then, I had a wonderful breakfast/lunch of Honey Comb cereal, my favorite. Since then, I have been reading, painting by number, and playing Uno with my family (doing nothing super important). Perfect. It is a day like this that I sit back and just realize how much I really have and am blessed with. As much as I complain and want, I really have all that I need to live and much, much more.

I cannot believe that this weekend will be Labor Day weekend! Thankfully we have Friday through Monday off for volleyball! It will give us all a little time to recuperate and relax. Then it is right back into the swing of things with school starting up. Yay! (said sarcastically of course)

Is this not the coolest picture? I found it on this site that has a bunch of other hilarious pictures. My brothers spent ten minutes just looking at them and laughing.

I had my orientation today for school. It was so nerve-wracking to walk into a hallway full of kids I did not know. Then I saw some familiar faces from youth group and volleyball and Faith. It turned out OK, but I now have an appreciation for any new kid and what they have to go through.

Speaking of volleyball, we had our first tournament on Saturday. We won first place, but there was only two other teams there. Oh well. Thursday I have a tournament with a lot more than three teams playing, and I am a little nervous!

My mother just made some delicious smelling brownies; so I am going to go get one.......

As always, ME
