I've been busy. I'd love to update you on every single detail of whats going on in my life, but I'll skip all the boring stuff and go straight to today.
So. I woke up lateish today. Yeah... and I went downstairs and was wondering what I was going to have for breakfast, and then my wonderfully awesome dad comes up and says, "Well... I guess I can make pancakes" and that made me go, "YEAH!!!"
So I did the dishes while he made the pancakes, and we all had a nice little breakfast.
After that Daddy came up and played Tomb Raider with me (these tomb raider moments are some of the few that I actually get to spend quality time with him) and that was fun. But... then I had to go to parade practice. APA (A.K.A. Academy of Performing Arts A.K.A. Where I take dance) is always in the Christmas Parade uptown. Its cool.
Rachel (one of my best friends) was supposed to be there, but she forgot and so I had to go without her.
But she also had to come and pick up a girl who was there, so when we were leaving I got to see her (and her new phone!!!) and yeah.
Then I went home and picked out a gag gift for the progressive dinner that we were having at church.
Lemme explain to you how this progressive dinner works.
Everybody buys a gag gift (you know, something stupid and miniscule, like soap or a ketchup bottle) and brings it to the church at 4. Then we split into two groups (middle school and high school) and go to the designated houses. Now, I have no idea what went on in the high school group, so I'll just tell you about the middle school group. Well, first we went to Ryanne's house for appetizers, but I have no idea what they had because I was actually late and missed the appetizers. However, my mom was in charge of making the salad and had to bring it to the church about an hour into the dinner, so I got to go along with her, and catch up then.
Well I also got to help make the salad (and Lindsey doen't like carrots in her salad, so I made her a special one, and now she loves me) so that was kinda interesting.
After the groups got back from their appetizer house they all went into the dining room at the church and had salad and lasagna and stuff. I think the lasagna might have had something funkey in it, because my mom and I both didn't feel good afterwards.
So then it was dessert time, and we went to Allison Hendee's house. Its like, SO awesome! It has a cool spiral staircase... and its awesome. For desert we had things like... brownies and chocolate covered strawberries and peanut butter cheesecake!
Then it was gag gift time! Now what happens here is that everybody goes and draws a number. The person with the lowest number goes first. So... they go and pick a gift and all that. They unwrap it. Then the next person can either go unwrap another, or you can steal the gift of the person(s) that have gone before you. However, the gifts have a maximum amount of times that they can be stolen. (2, this time)
I was second to go, and when I did I picked out this big gold box. When I opened it, there was a HUGE sparkley disco-ball-like ornament inside! BIGGER THAN YOUR HEAD!
See? Huge!
Well... Nanci stole it from me later, so I stole her dancing chipmunk. Then Nick stole the disco ornament from Nanci, and he and I planned to swap after it was over since he wanted the chipmunk more than I did.
Before I go though, I have to tell you about the fruitcake tradition.
Two years ago, somebody bought a little fruitcake as a gag gift.
Well, one person opened it, and was forever cursed with fruitcakeyness.
So now everybody always brings fruitcake to those things.
I think next year I'll get a WHOLE BUNCH of people to bring fruitcakes.
:D
