Daily Post # 1

I woke up at six-o-clock very tired, and listened to Mira, Elana, Dana, and you go on and on about your all-nighter. I wish I had stayed up! Whatevs... So, then I helped Elana carry her bag to the center of the division, then went back to the bunk and got myself ready and packed up all my stuff. I said goodbye to you and Zoe, then me, Mira, Elana, Dana, and the Hirschfelds walked over to breakfast. I had rice krispies. I practically swallowed them whole, and just as Mira and I were leaving the dining hall, it started to downpoor on us. All of my stuff got soaked! We jogged down the hill to the big rec, and easily found our bags. Ellie let me borrow her phone and I called my mom. She said she'd arrive in 20 minutes. Sure enough, 20 minutes later, there was my mom! I got a counselor (with some help from that big Pasternak kid) to carry my brother and I's luggage to our car. I sat down, and my mom handed me my phone, my babydoll (yes, awwww...), and some snacks. I had some goldfish. On the way, we stopped at Dunkin Donuts. I had a Sesame Bagel toasted with butter. It was really good! We went back on the road, and I munched on some pretzels and an apple bar. I read my bus notes and put all of the addresses I got into my phone. Oh how I love my phone! We pulled into our drive way, and I helped take all of the bags into the back hall. I ran upstairs and sat on the couch. I watched an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras (the best TLC show ever!!!!!!) and checked my email. I texted and IMed a few of my friends, too. Next, my brother went over to my cousins' house, and my mom and I went bat mitzvah dress shopping for me. We went to David's bridal, and the first dress I tried on was absolutely AMAZING. I looked like a model princess and tho it was a little over our price range (it was $400), we decided to get it anyway because it was such an amazing dress. Just my luck...was the first one I tried on! But then, the person helping us came over and said that we came too late...we can't get the dress in the size and color I want before my bat mitzvah! They said it would be ready for November and my bat mitzvah's in October! Poopy! So, I tried on a new dress that was supossed to come in before my date, but it was WAY over my price range ($600!) And it was very pretty, but it just didn't completely wow me like the first one. I tried on one more, but it was very plain. That's all we had time for, so we decided to try again tomorrow or another day soon.  I came back home afterwards, and we looked at all of my bat mitzvah invitations to try to decided the colors and fonts for mine. So far, all that we have decided is that it will be a rectangle and the theme colors will be white, navy, and pink. On Wednesday, we will go to the place and figure everything out for sure. Afterwards, I enjoyed some rye toast with land-o-lakes unsalted butter with added salt & pepper. Then I started the largest string bracelet I have ever made: 9 strings of embroidery floss. The colors are black, violet, light pink, blue, yellow, white, orange, medium pink, and red. It's turning out really great so far even though I have only made it through the color cycle about once. Afterwards, my dad took me and my brother out to a dinner of pizza at a local pizza place, La Strada. I had 2 1/2 slices of regular cheese and sauce pizza with added parmesian, oregano, and hot pepper flakes. It was really good. Afterwards, we came back here, and now I am making plans to bike with Rachel tomorrow,and  watching Toddlers & Tiaras.
