Oh, what a weekend.

On Saturday, I went to my aunt's house with my mom, dad, and sister to rescreen her porch. Deprived of my RDA of caffeine, by 5 o'clock my hands were swollen and I was worn out. Then we went to my grandmother's for her birthday party. Just about the whole family was there, and I had a good time. My younger relatives wore me out though. A couple of my second cousins (I think) made me keep lifting them in and out of these giant holes that were left when they took out some trees. All in all, it was a pretty good day.

Then Sunday after church my mother and I went shopping for gifts for my dad. We bought a new mouse for the computer he plays Freecell on and a new universal remote. He decided that the new mouse works worse than the old one, and the new remote, while cooler (and more expensive) than the old one, still doesn't control the DVD player, which apparently is broken. At least the new one could control the lights, if I ever did get the X10 devices I've always wanted to install.

Oh, I forgot to mention that out at my grandmother's farm, my Uncle Paul gave me yet another box of old computer components. This one's really the motherload. My Uncle Paul is just too cool.

Now, I'm sitting here, updating my blog. Mary IMed me earlier to tell me that I wasn't the only one updating. Mary's blog has been updated with a dumb sketch drawing of Harry Potter, and Jen's contains several days of posts regarding Prom. My point: I need to get a life [insert monosyllabic response synonymous with "indubitably" here].

Tomorrow's agenda: go see Mr. Tyler at 8:15 to get something (I don't really care what) inserted so I have 7 classes, then mail my business registration form. Wednesday is the board meeting. I've heard from everybody but Denise (Renee can't come, and I still need to call Nina and make sure she can make it). That's another thing I have to do tomorrow. I have to go to Office Depot and get some folders so I can make all the new board members little dossiers with all of the stuff I want to bring up at the meeting. New bylaws, new committee structure, and a point system. I've also been working on some updates to the Key Club website. So much to do, so much to do...

Well, it's 1 AM, I still have to take the garbage out, get the pop out of the trunk, take a shower, and get up in the morning, so I'd better go now. Besides, I'm starting to do that whole I'm-so-tired-so-I-guess-I'll-ramble-on- forever thing, and believe me, you don't want that, because then I basically get like Hemingway, except that I actually punctuate my sentences, so that they just don't go on forever, because I don't really like that whole "stream of consciousness" thing they tell us about in English class, because in my opinion, if you're going to take the trouble to write it down, you should take the time to organize it into logical and meaningful sentences, not just write "blah blah blah" like you've never seen a period.

Whoops. See what I mean?
