jessie's party
alright lets make this quick. yesterday i woke up, went to the gym at nine for erica's private lesson. she's getting alot better. she's always been pretty flexible, but now she's got her splits all the way down. she's been concentrating alot on form too. always making her toes pointed and legs tight. its nice to see pretty gymnastics from a seven year old.
then i came home and fell asleep. yeah thats all i do anymore.
then i had to go to jessie's sweet sixteen party. even though her bday was definitely in august. now, i wasnt too thrilled about going b/c i feel our friendship has been coming to a close for three years and she's just trying to hold onto something thats not really there. that probably doesnt sound very flattering, but its the truth. i think there are just times when you need to be able to move on. and her parties are soooo crazy-indepth. always planned out to the minute, never time for randomness. kinda drives me crazy after awhile. but i decided to go as long as kennie would come with me. and she was late, that jerk. i got to listen to insanely hyper magnolia girls go on about inside jokes of theres while i made small talk with jessie's parents in the kitchen.
then kendall finally came (THANK YOU!!)
the theme of this years party: the first annual miss chievous pageant. in other words, BEAUTY CONTEST. yuuuuuuuuuuuck.
we all had sashes and Miss so-and-so names. kendall couldnt pick, so she was Miss Indecisive. i was Miss Demeanor. heck yes. there were three categories: bargain wear, talent, formal wear. oh, and a question-answer session.
so we trucked it to the thrift store to get an outfit for under $7.
kendall got a bathrobe and pink hat. i got a scarf and crazy denim jacket. i'm still not convinced it was only 5 bucks. i'm definitely wearing it to the rodeooooooooo with kendall!
theres everyone in their bargain wear
then there was the talent part. kendall and i did our irish jig (if you havent seen it, tell us. its hilaaaaaaaarious), she licked her elbow, and i did the becky ball (start on your knees, roll forward, your shins and neck are on the floor at the same time so you look like a backwards roly-poly, then you flip over. what can i say, i've always wanted to be a contortionist).
then there was the formal wear stuff. yuck. they asked us really weird questions, and i got "whats the worst thing about people in highschool? can you change that?" hah what a question for me. so i got to complain about how people are shallow and are jerks and how they get upset over trivial little things, but its a stage that everyone goes through so its not like you can do much against it, and yeah.. i basically said people sucked. sorry bout that guys :/
then they announced the top three..
(jess, me, and sarah)
then the announced the winner
oh gosh, please erase that from my memory. i am NOT supposed to win any dang contests. man, i wanted to win the watermelon seed spitting olympics three years back, not the pageant... one of those girls told me i should be in the miss woodlands pageant and i was like HECK NO! oh well, i did win the prize ($20 going to the buy-becky-a-kickin-pair-of-diesel-shoes fund) heh.
and then theres me, ken, and jess
so all in all it was ok i guess. i was exhausted afterwards and i got home super-late for me and then crashed. i totally slept through church this morning and felt really bad!
mmm but my mommie's makin bread and i smell it so its almost done. i'm gonna go eat it! have a gggggggggreat day!
then i came home and fell asleep. yeah thats all i do anymore.
