I've been so preoccupied reading "Twilight" I barely have time for anything else! I wish I had an Edward (which is, I'm almost certain, why these books are so popular). I'm going to see the movie again tonight. It's my new addiction, & if you know nothing else about me, know that I have a very addictive personality.
My cousin came in town friday night, & we had "Thanksgiving" at our house on saturday morning, which was nice. But now I'm all confused about my dates because I feel like Thanksgiving has already passed. It's strange. Then last night we went to the Nine Inch Nails concert with Sidney (her boyfriend) & his parents - they are so sweet, they bought ALL of us tickets & wouldn't even let me pay them back! The show was great, they had some awesome special effects, & our seats weren't too bad either.
Cristen & I went to church this morning & it was just what I needed. The sermon was about stress (& if you've been reading my blog AT ALL you know I've had plenty of stupid reasons to be stressed!), & it helped me to calm down & remember to take one day at a time & remember that God has it all worked out already. So I'm trying to take a deep breath & put everything off that can wait until I get back.
Tonight I'm taking Bill to the Dunns house to stay. It always makes me sad to leave him somewhere...he has such sad little puppy eyes, & I wonder what it must be like, being such a little dog in a big strange place & not knowing if your best friend will ever be coming back. It makes me sad just thinking about it...moving on.
I sure hope I've remembered to pack everything...we're leaving at 5am tomorrow & I know I won't be coherant enough to remember ANYTHING then, so cross your fingers for me, haha.
OH! I almost forgot! Be sure to watch the Rachael Ray show the day before Thanksgiving, my sister is going to be on it. http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/ (<~Click on 11/26 for details; that's her standing right behind Rachael holding a gift.)
And now I'm off to read more of my book. It's getting better every page, Edward & Bella are playing baseball with the Cullens & the "others" just showed up. If you haven't read these books, DO IT NOW, I'm so not even kidding. Here's the trailer to inspire you:
Have a good Thanksgiving, everyone be safe. (I still don't have a cable for my laptop so I won't be posting until I get back.)

Nothing Creative Comes To Mind...
Today I had my first drum lesson. I'm catching on pretty quickly I think, at least that's what Emily said. I've already nailed the basic rock beat & now I'm learning to expand on it & how to read drum music. I think I've definitely found my musical niche! I'm already excited to practice this week, & for my lesson next thursday.
After my lesson I went shopping with my Mom. We went to Kohl's where I bought a cute white long-sleeved tee with pink "paint" spatter on it. Then we went to Shoe Carnival to look for some boots for Mom & I found the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn in my LIFE--they're made of canvas & rubber. They're called Blowfish. I've never heard of them, but they were regular $40, marked down to $9. So I had to have those too.
God has really been changing me & answering prayer lately. I went to Shannon's wedding shower last weekend, & her sisters did a devotion for her & gave her some advice. Something Amanda said really struck me (even though I'm not married & probably will not be getting married anytime soon). She said that she didn't realize her selfishness in her marriage at first, & that she always had the idea that if her husband wasn't loving her "the right way," she would just teach him how to fix it, & that that is a very selfish point of view. It made me realize that I had been doing that very same thing in my relationship, & that I had quit depending on God because I thought that I could handle it better. I think that's where things started to go wrong. Now that I realize that, I really hope it's not too late to fix it. It's like I'm a whole new person, & I hope I can have the chance to prove that.
They're doing construction all around our house right now--repaving the roads & laying cable. My dog has been going crazy. He'll be napping, or chewing his toys & then out of nowhere he'll leap up & start barking like crazy. We tell him to shut up & then he just sort of marches around the house growling under his breath. His short little legs crack me up. He's so funny looking.
I can't believe tomorrow is Halloween. I don't have a costume. It's been a few years since I went to a costume party. But I'm sure I'll find something fun to do. Maybe I'll go to Tanya's & play RockBand all night & pass out candy. Hahaha.
Sis sent me this picture today...the show starts next week! Mom & Dad are flying out wednesday, wish I could go. But I need to stay here & make some money so I'll be able to spend it when I get there at Thanksgiving!
EDIT: Check out these photos of Alli...with camels!
