Oh My!

It was a very dramatic Sunday at our house yesterday. Firstly, it was our first Sunday away from Lifespring (my church). It was kind of harder than I expected. I think I'm still in denial, because I kept telling myself that we were just checking out a church for my mom's work (she was a Children's Minister at Lifespring and recently quit). If any of you church people are reading this, know that I missed you terribly (yes, even you, Josh ;p). No one will ever replace you guys. We went to the Westside Vineyard, and I must say, it was rather....Vineyard-y. The singer, who was really good, kind of talked like, "Heeeyyyy guyyyss. Wee just wannaa, yaa knooow, lift God upp todaayy." Kind of hippie-ish. Then the preacher kind of yelled. He was an expository preacher (meaning that he picked a parable or chapter and explained it verse by verse), and he was teaching on Luke 16, the parable of The Shrewd Manager. That parable is really hard to understand, and he started off well, but then it kind of blew up. He started yelling, and the theme was "Be Generous" which had nothing to do with the story. Though everyone was very friendly , and I liked the diversity among the church-goers, it wasn't a place I can see my family and I going every Sunday.

Then we got home, and Mom came out on the trampoline with me. This is where the real drama starts. All the sudden, my mom falls over and tells me to go get my dad in a very alarmed voice. So I run inside, and before you know it, he's calling 911. Sirens, flashing lights, stretchers. The whole thing. Turns out she dislocated her knee cap. Now she has to use a brace and crutches (which I love to walk around on). It was really scary, because my mom's really tough, and when she acts hurt, you know she really is. She was way braver than I would have been, I can tell you that. So that is the cause for my "Oh My!".

I'm jazzed, because next Sunday is Easter. Yay yay yay yay! I seriously love Easter. Cool people come over (Megan, Burton family, Bennet family, my uncle, ect.) and my mom makes delish food (HAM, deviled eggs, HAM...). We are going to Westside, so thankfully I will be around people I know. After that, it's back to the church hunting, though. Ughhhh!

Bikini Body By Boating Season

Otherwise known as BBBS. To acheive this goal, I am following Seventeen magazine's workout that claims to give you flat abs in 4 weeks. We'll see how that goes. Every two days, I will record the results. I will also be eating healthier (ie. no salty food or pop, more water, and really trying in gym class). Here is the schedule:

On the first week:
On 4 days, do 20 minutes of cardio
Pick 3 out of the 5 ab workouts;do 15-20 reps of each

On the second week:
On 3 days, do 20 minutes of cardio;on 1 day, do 30 minutes
Pick 3 ab workouts;do 20-25 reps of each

On the third week:
On 2 days, do 20 minutes of cardio;on 2 days, do 30 minutes
Pick 3 ab workouts;do 20-25 reps of each

On the fourth and last week:
On 4 days, do 30 minutes of cardio
Pick 4 ab workouts;do 20-25 reps of each

I will be faithfully sticking to this outline. I also have a 45 minute leg workout every day in gym class. My legs are already showing results. I may try to find some good arm excercises as well. This summer, I'm going to be testing a few workouts like this that claim to work in a certain time period. I will journal every day about it, and by the end I will have a book of reviews of workouts. Lauren thinks I won't stick to it, but I'm really going to try. Now I'm off to take a shower and ride my bike.
Peace, love, and chocolate,

Megan Joy(less)

Megan Joy was kicked off of American Idol last night. Grr. Okay, yes, she had a horrible last two weeks, but she was different! I really liked her. Hopefully she'll get a record deal anyway. Time for mass homework and the library. TTFN.

Help me!

No lie, I have so many unsolved problems.
1.Algebra-makes me want to bash my head in
2.my brother-long story
3.ahnnoying gym class
4.something that I will not share right now-sorry )-*:

I am not even kidding. I've been so stressed lately: school, homework, family, friends, church. Ick. I can not wait for the summer. No school, sleepovers whenever I want, vacay, just time to chill.
Today we got a list of the classes we are taking next year. Someone screwed up and put freaking Beginning Strings on mine!! I signed up for Chorus. Not that I can sing, but I sooo don't have the time to learn an instrument. There wll definately be words between me and my councilor tomarrow. I will no, I repeat WILL NOT take strings next year. I will not, I tell you! Now I have to go study for yet another stress-inducing Algebra test. More like AlGAYbra. That was stupid, but it was the best I could think of. Shut up, no laughing at me. Hehe. I will see you guys..when I see you. Maybe never, for some of you. Hee. So depressing. Farewell.

Boy I Say To You by Missing Persons

A lasting impression
Isn't something you can ignore
Having had you once
Makes me only want you more

If I ever had the chance
I guess I wouldn't give it another thought
Something should have been said
And you gave me silence instead

I need to know the way you feel
Is this for real?
Cuz boy I say to you
Don't try to hide
Your feelings inside
Open your eyes
Cuz boy I say to you

Don't you know to speak when you're spoken to?
Won't you let me know what your gonna do?
This is not a game or a fantasy
How could you be so blind when it comes to me?
-Missing Persons
