LOL! I got prank called!
Some people just don't know what they're doing! I got prank called just now! I was hoping to find out who it was to give em' some pointers because really the whole accent thing never works. I would say to anyone out there just try to sound adult. Plus they talked so fast I couldn't hear what they said so I had to ask them like five times if they'd repeat themselves. Overall they didn't do so well on the calling scale. I'd give them a four or a five.

Ebay Addiction
This is just a tiny update I know but it's what you're gonna get because I haven't had a 'ton' of interesting stuff happen to me. Well now that that has been covered lets get down to the point. I now have an addiction to ebay. I'm pretty sure because every time I get on the comeputer I check the lowest priced things I want to buy on ebay. And sure thats fine but I check back all the time. It's pretty fun though because there is so much cool stuff you can find on there. Well thats it. Oh oh oh ya . I forgot to mention two other short things. This morning my mom and I went to the Farmers market. If haven't heard of it well it's a bunch of tables all with coverings/tent thingies. They are grouped in rows that you can walk along to look at what everyone has in store. At each of the tables the seller sets up their wares. Everything there has to do with homemade stuff mostly food but also some lotions, soaps, and candles. I love the whole atosphere of the place and I always enjoy going. This year we bought a blueberry pie, a mini angel food cake, some salsa dip, and two tomatoes. The one other thing I need to say is that today I'm going to clean out my dresser drawer and my closets. All of which are filled with stuff and it is going to take forever! ...or at least the whole weekend..or week. .. ... .. I'll get back to you on it later in the day once we, my mom and I, have gotten started.

Sad Lips can play flutes...
"You need to position your lips as if you are blowing out a candle but are very sad while doing so" said Mrs. Allen "Flatten your lips but keep a slight opening and turn the corners of your lips down." I try and she suggest I try positioning my flute in now and blowing, and I'm not to forget about articulating as in blowing with a twooo sound and using my tongue or known as tonguing. I try and get a great sound. Mrs. Allen moves on around the class helping the rest of the kids with any problems as Mrs. Pote leads the class on what notes to play."
I've been going to band camp for a week and a half about now. I go everyday except for weekends at 9:00 to 9:50. When I first started I was struggling but now I'm doing much better. I'm glad I perservered although I'm not quite through with the bumps yet. I can play:
Bflat C D Eflat F
Bflat C D Eflat F
Which all can come together to make some of these songs that I'm learning:
Jingle Bells
Clare de Lune
Hot Cross Buns
(The next few I have not yet learned)
Good King Wenceslass
The Donkey Round
...And some other junk(okay not junk..stuff!)that I saw on the next page but forgot the names of...
Okay so that's about it. um...Bye! (waves turns around quickly and runs off)

Great Trip!
I had a ton of fun in DC! My troop visited all the historical landmarks and memorials. We all had a great time and except for a few problems it was terrific. You see in two cases some of he girls lost their things. For one we took a ride in some taxis to get to the Washington harbor because we were going to go for a boat ride tour and had decided since it was so hot outside(in the mid to upper 90s) we wanted to cool off and rest for a spell on the way to the dock. We took three taxis so that there were four people in each. Well once we got there one of the girls realized she'd left her bag in their cab. I heard a little bit of the group saying 'oh no Morgan left her bag' as the taxi pulled away and I thought 'hmm I should stop the cab...I wonder why' then as the driver left the parking lot I realized and we, Morgan, her mom and I, ran up the street that he had turned onto. We saw him stuck in the traffic and ran full speed ahead. Unfortunately it was an uphill run so by the time we got to the top he was gone. In the bag Morgan had two T-shirts that her mom had bought, but worse the postcards that Julie (I'm sure most of my readers know who these people are seeing as they are all in our grade) had collected for the places wed gone to that day. For most of them she could probably find more of the same or similar postcards but there were a few that she'd gotten from the White House gift shop (we had gone on a tour of the white house) that she couldn't get. The other time we lost some things was when Courtney's bag had a whole in the bottom because she'd been dragging it on the pavement and some of her things fell out as we were walk. (did I mention we had to walk everywhere in 80 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit(I'm serious) temperatures?) Other than that and a few minor minor mishaps everything was fine. Also I keep forgetting that I need to mention that the entire trip was a celebration of the 95th anniversary of Girl Scouting. On Saturday all of some 30,000(I'm not exaggerating) Girl Scouts and parents along for the trip were not far from the Washington monument having a Sing Along Celebration. That day we also went home on the buses/motor coaches driving through the night leaving at 6:30ish pm and getting home around 8:00ish am. I'm really sad that I missed Relay for Life!!!!! I had a chance to go but I was just to tired. I didn't get very much sleep on the bus. My brother Spencer and my dad did get to got though and they said it was a lot of fun. I'd like to mention also because it is pretty cool that while my mom and I were gone my dad and Spencer mad a computer. For those of you who are unaware that does not mean the screen that means the large box that you put CDs and floppy discs in. (but I'm sure you all know about that stuff right?) It's really interesting. Well I guess that's it, I'm going to add some of the pictures we took to this post later but for now it's here just to read.

I said a WWWWWW-ashington DC!
My Girl Scout troop is taking a trip to Washington DC for a Sing a Long Celebration for the Girl Scouts 95th anniversary! Girl Scouts from all over the nation are all going to Washington DC to sing girl scouting songs. It's not my whole troup that's going but eight girls and four parents. We will be leaving early early early tomorrow morning and will be gone until June 10th. So for that time I won't be able to post. Though when I get back I'm sure I'll have a ton to tell! Well so long for now...I have to start packing!
