Well we got a phone call today from our credit card company.
Some kid in South America got ahold of our credit card number and just bought a cable tv something-or-other.
Idiot.
Doesn't he KNOW that if you USE a credit card people will TRACE you?

Our refrigerator broke too. This rockin' cool German repair-dude is defrosting it. We had a white Christmas of snow behind all the frozen peas and carrots.
Who knew?

Practicing sucked today.
I still have another hour to go, but I needed to take an emotional break.
Since I don't have any competitions within thirty days, I'm down to 2 hours a day.
In about I week that will be increased one hour as our string ensemble is recording a CD, and I have a chair challenge.
I'm praying I move up one seat at least.
But Beethoven is nasty.
Nasty icky stuff to learn, but so wicked cool to play.

I finished my rough draft for my persuasive essay today and my outline for my character sketch for Lit. class.
Oh joy of JOYS.
*exasperated sigh*
Can't they see I'm a VIOLINIST?

Oh well. I think I'll go flick on the TV.
Oh wait.
German repair dude's defroster is too loud.
Will have to wait until parents leave.
*evil cackle*

I only got five hours of sleep people...bear with me (maybe it had something to do with eating a bowl of melted chocolate chips and mandarin oranges at 9:30 last night...)

Story of my life, never more than 6 hours ever. 5 is the norm. 4 on a heavy homework night. I can't wait until I'm homeschooled!

When are you going to be homeschooled?

Ummmm, it's a secret. I'll let y'all know when it's I'm actually doing it. I think it'll be a surprise!
