Weather: good 

Today is father’s day.  We gave dad underwear and T-shirts.  We went to go see our old babysitter her husband used to change my diapers!  I couldn’t remember anything about the people or place!  Kelly, Heather’s age, was the nicest, then Jeremy, my age, was hiper.  Cindy, didn’t really like, was there neighbor.  I liked there house, and would like to see them soon.  Tonight was the last night to babysit and I don’t know if Melissa did it or not!  I still like VM!

What you should know now:
I have no idea what former babysitter I was talking about.  VM is another boy in my youth group that for a short time I thought was cute but never once said a word to.  I’m not sure about the whole babysitting thing except I think we had a sort-of job at her church taking turns babysitting.

June 13-18, 1993

Please remember, I was not quite 15 when I wrote this.  And I’ve decided to comment in brackets.

Well, here I begin again, speaking of the small part of my life to share with you.  A part of my life that happens every year in the hot section of the year-summer camp.   My youth group went to Nosoca Pines for the third time in a row.  I love it there.  Of course being a female I must start off speaking of the romance in the week.  At first, I looked at T every minute of the day [since when does looking at someone count as romance], who has the body better than Marky Mark [*shaking head* it was 1993!].  But that changed because a fellow inhabitor of White Pine was getting involved with him [maybe she actually talked to him].  I didn’t want to interfere [oh gosh, i’m so glad i’m doing this].  Earlier GR had said hey to me a couple times and then decided to ignore me totally on Wednesday.  Thursday came along and he decided to humble himself and say hi to me.  Friday our last day came beginning with breakfast where G sat with me by his own choice.  The camp packed up and moved on to lunch where G stood with me in line after I asked him to, to repay him for letting him in front of me at breakfast.  At no obliation, he sat beside me again with S and C, the couple of the camp.  We didn’t speak much until everyone left besides us four when we signed the banner and walked up to the gym together.  We walked back down to the cafeteria leaving G there to help and saved him a seat on the bus with me.  G got on the bus right before we had to walk right back up to the gym to take the camp picture.  He stood besdie me with his arm around me [omg, we touched] while the camera clicked twice [i am such a dork, why would i write that??].  Everyone headed for the bus to travel and hour and a half back home.  G and I talked the whole way.  On Thursday night, B was given a vision that he was going to become a minister when he gets older.  That’s the best thing about him.  He told me he has a job, but not a car [G or B??. I think G] He hasn’t had a date since September because he hasn’t felt the need for it.  he said he became closer to God in that time and if you’re not close to God, you shouldn’t be close to anyone else.  So you can put your attention to Him.  I was like, “So you don’t want to date me?” I’ve tried to not get so goo-goo eyed about him and get my hopes up even though S and J said they thought he liked me.  Well that’s the romance [stop, I can’t handle anymore].  I became closer to God even though last year was more emotional.  The food was good and I only got 5 hours of sleep every night.  That’s why when I went to sleep last night at 11:00 I woke up at 12:30 the next day [i miss those days].  I have to say I enjoyed camp even though I didn’t get on the Catameran this year once [random, but S and I rocked the Catamaren the year before].

What you should know now:

G and I ended up “dating”..whatever that meant apparently.  Up until now, looking back it was a bonafied relationship that lasted at least a month or so.  I remember him making me mixed cassettes along with notebooks with writings that went along with it (I think).  I broke up with him to go out with an older guy from my high school (I went to church in Charlotte and he was from there).  I actually ran into G about 2 months ago at my Y.  I stopped him to say hi and I introduced him the family and he said he lives in my town now.  That was weird.

Mom and Dad are moving so I’m getting all my old stuff that was left at their house including all my old diaries.  Since I don’t have time to actually sit and read all of them, I thought it might be neat to post one of the entries from the current day and month but from a different year from one of my diaries.  I’m very sure these will be embarrassing.

Comment update

OK, so I finally activated the Akismet plugin which should take away the spam comment issue I was having.  Can I just say it was awesome that it went back to the beginning of my blog and deleted all 12,000 spam comments.  Wow.  So now I turned the comment thing back on so I don’t have to approve them.  Let me know if Akismet filters your email and marks you as spam though.

i hate making up titles

June 16, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

Still not good at making up titles.

 Well, today didn’t go nearly like I planned.  Except for the fact I didn’t forget Go Diego Go show.  The girls got up well before normal time at 7am.  I turned on my tv and brought them in my room to watch cartoons and play while I tried to stay in that keep-my-eyes-closed-but-still-awake-enough-to-listen mode until 8ish.  We were out the door before 10 for the show with SIL and her daughter.

The show started a little late and was way longer than the Dora show that was similar.  The girls loved it.  We were sitting on the highest balcony and Lexi kept waving hoping for someone to wave back.  I think Diego finally did and she was quite satisfied with that.  Emma says the Balbos (sp?) were her favorite and I think Baby Jaguar was Lexi’s.  Lexi sat in my lap the entire time and Emma sat next to me.  They were both well behaved.  The only bad thing is Lexi insisted in being carried so I had to carry her all around downtown.  I did convince her to walk up the stairs by herself though.  We stopped at McD’s on the way home and ate there since there were so many people in the drive-thru.  So by the time we did that and picked up SIL’s van at our house, dropped all the girls off at MIL’s and got home, it was 2:30.  And I was SO tired.  The whole gym thing was out the door but I really needed to clean.  So I put my hair up and really intended to do that but I laid down on the bed thinking I never am able to take a nap, but if I can, I’m just going to do it.  Needless to say, Scott woke me up when he got home after 5pm.  Yeah. No exercising and no cleaning.  We left as soon as he signed off from work and headed out for dinner and some Father’s Day shopping.  I’ve done some cleaning this evening but nothing major.  In the meantime, we’ve had a little house drama.  Apparently Scott saw a rat run behind our tv and go in a hole in the wall that he has some wires run through.   So he had to run out the store and get foam and traps and poison and whatever else he got.  Emma has obsessed about rats since then.  She genuinely seems scared.  But questions about how big they were and whether they could fit in doors or windows or whether Daddy had killed all the rats in the world and where rats live and on and on.  I’m getting back every question I ever asked my mother.

So tomorrow is church and lunch with my parents while Scott works and then we’ll do dinner with Scott’s family.  That should do it for the weekend.
