Sunday June 4th, 2000
I got up around 8 am to get ready for church. I dressed up nicely but was extremely tired! I tried to stay awake during mass, it was very hard :-( . The day was gloomy. After mass I stopped by my best friend's house to get a ticket to her graduation. I got home around 10:30 and slept until about 12:45. That nap was well needed and appreciated. I was excited and nervous about going back to my old high school for the graduation ceremony. I was dressed very nice in my lilac outfit and butterfly shoes with straps. I walked around the building and talked to my former teachers. I remembered how much I loved their classes, especially my french class. However, I do not miss high school, it was like a jail for me. All those sleepless nights and the teenage stress. I sat in the bleachers and waited for Mary's family to arrive in the gymnasium. We sat together and Becky (Mary's sister) showed me her engagement ring. It was beautiful. I dream of the day when I will get married. The graduation was wonderful. The processional was nice too and I loved the speeches, especially the guest speaker. He said the diploma was a key to open a door. You just had to find the right door. Afterwards I walked over to congratulate my friend. I told her she was now "free". Hehe. After her graduation I drove home and then slept till about 7ish. I've been sleeping most of the day! I've been on the computer all night. I'm hoping my dad will come home from vacation tonight. I'm not sure if he's coming home tonight or tomorrow.
Here are a few pictures of me having too much fun with my webcam! A few of my friends were watching and one of them was kind enough to send these pictures. Thanks Ben!

Monday June 5th, 2000
Today was another gloomy day. It rained early in the morning. The thunder pounding on my window woke me up. I ran downstairs to my basement and turned my computer off and all the power to the equipment to be safe. Then I drifted back to bed and woke up around 10 am when my mom made breakfast. That's the best way to wake up- eat breakfast and watch TV. My mom made me scrambled eggs with bacon bits inside and some toast.. yummy! Thanks mom. Sadly enough I did go back to bed after breakfast. The rainy day made me tired and sleepy. :-( , but I woke up when the phone rang. My dad was on his way home! He had been gone a week on a fishing trip in Canada. Everyone was glad to see him, including me. He gave me a $100 too when he got back! Yeah! :-) . We watched his fishing trip video from Canada. It was awesome! His favorite fish was the walleye, me , I do not like fish. I think they are gross!
After the fishing video, my mother and I drove to Ultra Foods to do some grocery shopping. We really didn't have much food in the house. :-(. This time I was able to get most of my favorite foods, including soups, pizza, and sweets because I'm at home for the summer! I also got to get fudge and cookie dough! Yummy! The only bad thing was that I got PMS after we went grocery shopping. I got it badly and was really hurting. I took three Midol, but it took awhile for it to kick in. I suffered for about an hour... and was finally relieved when I got on my computer and had some fun. I guess the computer took the mind off my PMS. And the highlight of my night- I cleaned my room! Yeah! Now, you can actually see the floor in it!

I waited in line forever at this taco place by the grocery store before I finally decided to walk out. Bad service!
I had PMS today
My PMS was so so bad!
When I wanted to back out of my parking space, this car was waiting for us to back out but was too close. I honked the horn but he backed up only a little bit. I could not get out and honked more until I was able to get out. This guy really pissed me off because he kept honking back. Excuse me I need ot get out of the fricking parking space before you can get in! I gave him the finger when I left. Don't mess with me when I have PMS. That guy was just rude!
When I got home I took 3 midol but still hurt for about an hour!
I cleaned my room! I can now see the floor...

Inspirational Story

Just Another Day
Is it morning already? I rub my eyes and get up to ready myself for just another day.
It's just another day...I look out my window to see the sun beaming down, caressing the Earth with its golden rays. Above, white clouds float in the brilliant blue sky. I hear a cardinal singing to his mate as he perches upon my back fence. And a bed of crocus open their purple heads to the heavens in joyful thankfulness.
It's just another day. My small daughter bursts into the room, her giggle ringing through the house as she hugs my neck tightly. Her small hand fits into mine as she pulls me to the kitchen to show me the card she has made. A stick figure with curly brown hair waves from the paper and beneath it, written in purple crayon are the words, "I love you, Mommy."
It's just another day as I stand quietly and watch a handicapped child. He struggles to get his special walker over the curb, but it won't budge. A well-meaning teacher offers assistance, but he brushes her away. With determination, he conquers the curb and is off to laugh and play with his friends. I weep inside for his handicap, but I am inspired by his courage. And I smile as I watch the children play, totally accepting their friend for who he is, not judging him for what he lacks.
It's just another day. My son proudly presents the report he did for school. He shares with me the hopes and dreams he holds for his future. His curiosity and excitement are contagious as we unfold the limitless possibilities that lay before him. I am encouraged that no dream is beyond our reach if we want it bad enough.
It's just another day. My beloved wraps his arms around me and surrounds me in love. I turn to look in the eyes that share my innermost feelings. What a special friend I have. Someone who loves me for who I am. Someone to lean on when I feel down. Someone to share my happiness. Someone to love.
Yes, it is just another day. A day to enjoy God's gracious beauty upon this Earth. A day to kiss the cherub cheeks of my children, and share in their hopes and dreams. A day to learn the value of determination and hard work. A day to learn the value of judging mankind for the quality he has, not what he has not. A day to learn the value of love.
Yes, it's just another day, I sigh. The stars dance in the velvet sky as a full yellow moon smiles cheerfully down. The house is quiet and still. The only sound is the soft even breathing of my spouse. I recall the scripture: "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24) And as I lay at the side of my soul mate I pray that God will let me see "just another day"!
