Today may have just started, but I have a lot to say. I happen to be smart enough to know this is the 3rd day in May. Maybe you don't know it, maybe you do, but you are in my diary, not the public zoo. This is not a fantesy, this is not a dream, this is not a coffee cup, filled with whip cream. Here are all my feelings, yes, they all are true, I hope you like them, better than the zoo.
First of all, I went down stairs at 7:50 a.m. (CENTRAL TIME) or so. I smelled the coffee, and my dog, Sadie, smelled me. She made me pet her for ages, then, my dad came in and said, "Yes. The grass is just right. I'll mow it today." Then, I had biscuits and eggs. My dad left to go to Sears about 30 minutes ago. Right now it is 9:59. In case you are wondering, I am wearing a white t-shirt with a blue-green checkered flower on it. The flower has no stem. My shorts are the same color green, but they are striped, with white inbeetween each raye of green color.

We were going to leave for Branson, Missouri today, but the rain cancelled our trip. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I wanted to stay in a hotel with an indoor swimming pool, but no, my parents booked us at one with an outdoor pool! I know I can swim at home whenever I want, but there's something about indoor pools that is better then 3 foot deep above-ground pools.
I had to have cake for breakfast! It's the only thing left in our house. It's yellow cake with (rich) chocolate frosting!(YYYUUUUMMMMMMM)
I'm wearing a sleevles denim checkered shirt with coral pink shorts!

Hi. Today is my first day at home for summer vacation. It started Monday, but I couldn't tell becuase I was in Branson. It was fun, but certainly not very quiet and peacful. I got to go to the Mint and make a coin. It's cool.
I didn't get to swim, though. Well, the pool WAS open, but it didn't matter. I almost got my chance, but right before time, it started lightneing and raining. The second day there, it was a freezing 60蚌! The wind was blowing like crazy, and it wasn't very fun. The only shirt clean was a sleevless one! BbBbbbBbbbrrRRrrrRrRrrrRRR! The third day, we had to leave the hotel at 11:00am and head for home. It was very warm then, and I would have LOVED to go swimming. But, nope...

Hi! Sorry I haven't written in awhile. Well, basketball camp is over. It was fun! We got to learn a ball handling routine. In the whole 4 days my team played games, we only won one. Oh, well. See ya later!

Today is my Dad's b-day. He's...well, I won't say how old. Let's just say it was his birthday.I thought about visiting allllll my bookmarks, but it would take all day. I'm kinda sad because my dad had to go to work to fix a computer problem. He won't be back until a long time. At least he got the card and message on my homepage that I gave him. Me, my brother and my mom baked him a cake it was delish!
Have you read the first entry in Callie's diary? Your should. Now she knows what I feel like all the time! hehehe. Well, I went swimming, and my brother was a BIG pain! My mom blew up 2 rafts and a little blown up boat raft. Well, I got one of the air mattresses and my mom got the other. My brother got the boat. I wanted the boat. So after 45 minutes, I asked him ever so politly. He said NO WAY!!! I WANT A LLLLLOOOOOONNNNGGGGGG turn! So, I sighed and started swimming again in the STEAMING water. Finally, we got out for popsicles and he took the boat onto the pool deck with him! He sat in it eating his popsicle when I said, "Look, if you aren't going to ride in the water, let me have a turn!" He wouldn't. So finally my mom forced him out. He wanted to stay in, though and bugged me and bugged me until finally I jumped out and let him have a piece of my mind. He still whined and whined even after I gave him the boat back. (5 minutes after I had gotten in :-\ ) He wouldn't stop, so finallt he said, "I'm getting out!" But, me and my mom didn't want to get out. So he sulked and whined. Finally we decided to get out. The sprinkler wason the grass and I decided to run through it for a minute before drying off. So, I did, but James wouldn't let me back on the deck to get my towel. Finally he trotted off inside. (Boy was I glad.) But, I was ready to go in, too, so it didn't do much good. Boo hoo. Brothers sure can be a pain.

Today, I have to go to my brother's friend's birthday party...at Chuch E. Cheese's! My mom has to stay there with my mom, so therefore, I have to go also. We went to Toys 'R' Us to get Blake (my bother's friend) a presant. We got him a box of little plastic space ship modles, and astronaute, and even a plastic thing that looks like the floor of the moon. The good part is, that since yesterday, I had to go to the orthodontist, my mom let us get candy. We got a bag of giant Pixie sticks and a bag of Sour Patch Kids and split them both. Yummee!! And, sour!!!

I'm really excited! On Tuesday, I start school, and on Thursday I found out that Callie is going to be in my class at school!!!! I got some Lisa Frank folders, some kewl pens, a dark blue notebook, and a purple notebook, a bookmark with my name on it, a WWJD backpack, a clear blue lunch box (well, I saw it at the store and I'm going to buy it tomorrow), and all that other stuff!!! Plus, today is Bongo the Beanie Babie's birthday! Also, I finished my new club, GAL, and it is way cool! I'm kinda sad because Mallory is going on vacation tomorrow and won't be back for about 2 weeks. :-( I have to run the Silly Suburb all by myself! (not that it will be a problem) Plus I have to update about 15 things, so I gotta go!
