So today has just felt odd. I mean its been a relatively good day but something just feels off. It started out with a power outage at the school which was quite exciting! My stepsister and I were entertained by all the lightless houses on the way to school. I honestly didnt want the power to return. I love school but I havent been feeling good but apperently theres some rule that doesnt let you participate in extracuricular events if you are sick the day before and I have a quizbowl competition tomorrow. It will be weird without certain people there but I got Tyler to join so I wont be the only girl on the team anymore.
Brooke and I have decided to go get ICEEs after the competition because it has been a while since our last girls night. Other than that I have a relatively calm weekend ahead of me and thats just what I need.
I still feel like I really need a vacation even though we just returned from winter break on Wednesday. My vacation was extremely busy.
We left for Vegas at 2 am the day after school got out. We drove for about 13 hours that day. we stayed in Grand Junction Colorado. Raven and I had a mini Buffy marathon in the motel. I am glad we have so much in common now.
We left around 4 the next morning. WE arrived in Vegas early afternoon on Christmas Eve. We dropped Raven off at her Grandmas and headed off to waste time before my grandma got off work. We ended up going to pick up my friend Kaitlin and we went shopping for a while. Then we headed to the Hoover Dam. First we drove across that freaking high bridge. Then we went across the dam and walked around a while.
Kaitlin had to go home after that. Then mom and I headed down to the Vegas strip for some touristy sightseeing. We made it about 2 blocks in an hour. I recorded most of it on my blackberry. I had very little voice and I sounded quite a bit like Angie Harmon. Then it was vearly time for my grandma to get off so we headed over to Boulder City.
Around 10 pm, we finally went to eat. The only other food I had that day was some 5 am hashbrowns and a delicios pink doughnut! (I miss my simpson doughnuts already)The casino we ate at was awesome! The outside of the building changed colors and the wall in the restaurant was awesome!!!
The next day (Chrismas) we went hiking around the lake. My mom and I climbed a mountain!!! Then we went out to eat again.
The next day we went to church. I got hugged by a lot of people I sorta know but hardly remember. Then mom, dan (my grandmas boyfriend) and I went shopping! after that we went to eat at Olive Garden. After that mom, grandma, and dan went to see burlesque. I went Ice Skating with my uncle, raven, and Kelly (my uncles friends son). That was so much fun!!! It was my first time ice skating and I only fell once! it was quite funny. I also filmed a bit while skating. That was the first time Raven and I spotted a Rowse look-a-like in Vegas. We ended up seeing at least 10 throughout our trip.
Monday through Friday my mom and I did alot of shopping. We went to Cheesecake factory with Kaitlin. Such amazing food but so expensive!!! I also got my chicken from target which I had been missing lately. It was also a nice change from all the mozzerella sticks I ate while in Vegas.
On friday we went to see Gullivers Travels with my grandma and the lady she works for. That movie is sooo good!!!
Saturday we did a bit of shopping. Then sunday we left around 130am. We picked Raven up around 2 and Headed home. We stayed in Denver. By this point we all had awful sounding coughs. we returned home Monday. had 1 day of nothingness and returned to school wednesday.
Well, my fingers hurt and I think the bell rings soon so thats all for now! bye!!! ***Kat***
