Something New

Out of sheer boredom and because we were sick of the hopeless monotony of our lives, McKenna and I decided to change something. A week ago we began, rather hopefully, our quest to make our lives less dull. We (er, I) decided that we should do something new or out of the ordinary everyday, and so I began dragging a willing McKenna along and the first day we wore something fancier than we would usually wear. It went well, we both thought it was interesting to be wearing dresses and skirts on days when we would usually be in our PJ's until noon. Overall a winner.

Tuesday, the 9th of March, we wrote a letter to whomever we wished ;-) Not really that crazy, but we just never make time for it.

Wednesday, was baking day. Oh boy, that was interesting on my end. I went to go bake bread, and we had no yeast. You need yeast to make rising bread. So I had a whole adventure involving yeast and a flopped first batch, and then dough that didn't seem to rise enough (no, I had yeast at this point, I don't think that was the problem :-). And Kenna turned out some really tasty banana bread. Oh, and I had some edible bread at the end too.

Thursday, we drew hands. Yep, sketched hands, you could tell mine was a hand (yeah me!) and I didn't get to see McKennas.....

Friday, we decided to be helpful and clean something that need 'special attention' to clean. I chose the refrigerator and my mom was pleasantly surprised. McKenna cleaned off the tops of some needy bookshelves.

Saturday both of us were busy and neither of us were really thinking about our "thing" of the day, so that evening we spent about 15.8 seconds and did some extraneous stretching while sitting in our computer chairs.

And today, Sunday, I visited and we threw some of McKennas stuff away, and took a career test, which I believe was a fascinatingly not-normal day.

That's the update on this "thing." Now we need a name for our "New thing of the day" thingy, comment with ideas of what we should call it!

On a side note, Olivia festively painted all of her toenails 5 different colors, in the joyful spirit of this "thing"! Brownie points to Livvy!

Updates on origami coming soon...


p.s. to those of you who are reading this on Google Reader, go to the site and look at my pretty new background!

My New Bathing Suit and A Night With the Howards

Sorry, but I dont have pictures of my new bathingsuit yet, mainly because it was only completed less than 12 hours ago. Anywho, my wonderful friend Olivia made this bathingsuit for me, and it will make more sense when I get pictures.

On another note, I stayed last night with the Howards, and we accomplished wearing our new bathingsuits in the shower to test the wet-abiblities, watched Michael Phelps (Go! Go! GO! Phelps!) win yet another gold metal, me and Emma manged to stay up till 2:08, and last but not least, we tied Olivia up without her having a clue. :D
