Championships was okay. Really looooooooooong and I didn't do as good as I hoped but still worthwhile. A lot of my friends were
These are the races I did:
#33 200 Medley Relay (I did backstroke so I was the first one to swim in mt relay)
#53 50 Free
#71 100 Back (my best race-backstroke is my best stroke and surprisingly just as fast as my free stroke LOL)
#83 200 Free Relay (I was the third one swimming)
I don't know how I did yet but I'll find out what places I got in all my races tomorrow at the awards banquet. The awards banquet is where every that swam comes and they call our names one by one , read what we won at Championships (if anything), then we shake hands. We eat some ice cream and then all go to open swim for free. I don't think I got any medals (1st-6th place) but I must have gotten some ribbons (7th-12th place).
BTW right when I got home the electricity went out.Although, we still ate because we have a gas stove instead of electric. My dad cooked Japanese it was ...interesting and different.

OBSESSION OF THE DAY: BACKSTROKE

TTYL, Laura

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I'M GETTING PICKED UP FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 11 MINUTES! MORE INFO AFTERWARDS.

I'll Write Soon, Laura

XC 7:30-9:00


Today we finally got to doing 8 minute abs after running. Some of the kids didn't do they cuz they have Swimming Championships tomorrow but I did them anyways. Jessica and Kim came over my house right after XC. We talked and kicked Kim's new pink soccer ball at Jessica to start w/ and then we had a snack of cookies. For the rest of the day we danced. First we found a song we all liked and then we started making it up. Me and Kim made it all up cuz Jessica didn't want to come in until the middle. I even wore a costume. It was a really pretty white Ballet outfit. The kind that they use for performances. Both of my friends were like you should wear that when you get married. I prolly would except for the tutu part I would make into a flowing skirt cuz it's not weddingish. Later we went to my old house to go in the pool but when we got there Jessica and Kim didn't want to swim. So me and my sister Katherine swam for a little bit then got out and played w/ my friends. Jessica and Kim left at about 2:30 cuz Jessica was getting new glasses.

OBSESSION OF THE DAY: WILD HORSES- NATASHA BEDINGFIELD

XC 7:30- 9:00
Swim Practice 4:30- 6:00


In XC we bush-wacked it was fun. We almost got lost cuz we weren't following the trails.Then we had to jump the fence and my shoes were all wet so when i go tto the top i slipped and sat on the pointy top of the metal fence. It hurt! While we were lost we did this game called "One Thing You Didn't Know About Me". It was funny and of course Megan (L.) had a good one in mind. Can you think of anything you know about me that no one else knows? Later in the day, I went to swim practice. The work-out was the easiest one I've ever done so we finished a half hour early. Russ didn't know what to do with us so we did flip turns and starts for 15 minutes. I did about 20 flip turns. We got out 15 minutes early and I had decided to take a shower at home for the 1st time so I just chatted with my 7th grade swim buddies until Katherine finally finished swimming.
My dad randomly cooked Russian food tonight. It wasn't good or bad, it was just a different kind of taste.

OBSESSION OF THE DAY: HEY HEY HEY FAT ALBERT


Luv Ya Lots, Laura

XC(as usual) 7:30-9:00

In XC we did a track workout. The whole workout was indian runs. Two miles of them. Even know it seems short to you it was not to me. We had to go really fast and it was NOT FUN AT ALL! I was having asthma troubles. I was breathing hard just walking up the wall of death back to the high school! And it was soooooo hot at the track. Teagan said out loud "I wish the sprinklers were on." and so Steve went and took off the metal top that said irrigation system and turned on the sprinklers. We all ran around like crazy and got soaked. Then Steve showed us how to turn them on and off. It was complicated. When I got home for lunch I ate some strawberries(6), blueberries(the whole comtainer) and grapes (idk how much). That's what I had eaten for breakfast too. I had some for supper too plus a bagel and a cheese stick. Yay for cheese sticks. I also watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and now Elizabeth won't stop singing "Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka the amazing chocolatier, Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka...". She knows the whole song too. It's so annoying. Last time we watched it she sang that song for about a month. This is random but I just found out that Jessica H. and maybe Kim M. are coming over tomorrow after XC.

OBSESSION OF THE DAY: FRUIT SALAD (YUMMY YUMMY)

Have a Wiggly Day, Laura

XC 7:30-9:00


After xc i just chilled...all day. It was like my break from my busy summer vaca soon to be busier. I went on the computer, read my book (The Decoding of Lana Morris) and danced. Oh ya and I watched America's Got Talent. I'm amazed we actually have that channel. On it there was this guy that reannacted Britney Spears! It was funny but sooooooooo ridiculous. He had her school girl outfit a wig and he actually seemed like her even know he's way too chubby to be her. He did all the same moves she used to do and danced to 'Hit me Baby One More Time'. Hilarious :D


OBSESSION OF THE DAY: CHILLI

Luv Ya, Laura

P.S. The dates on these have been a little messed up so far. sorry.

We went to Nana's again today. But last time we went to visit my Auntie Debbie that lives in Texas, this time we went to visit my Nana and Papa(they weren't home last time). Wayne and Booboo came over just so they could throw balls at us(Theresa, Katherine and I) but then they got bored cuz we weren't throwing any balls back at them. We got soaked while doing this cuz it had been drizzling all day. Of course the shirt i was wearing got grass and dirt stains on it. It was partially white too. When I went inside I found out that my toe was bleeding and it hurt really bad. My toenail like ripped or something. Sooooooooo I watched one of my Nanas million DVDs (she has more than you Cassie). It was hard to choose but I picked this one called Escape to Witch Mountain. It wuz an old movie and kinda strange but really good. As soon as I finished watching my mom said we had to go home so we wouldn't get stuck in rush hour. In the car I watched another movie Miss Congeniality 2. It was really funny mhmmmmmmmmm. Fortunately we got home late enough to miss swim practice. It's not that I don't like swimming I just didn't feel like going. So instead I got home and sat doing nothing. Well... I listened to music and practiced my dance skills. But that's not very surprising since I do that whenever I'm not doing anything.

OBSESSION OF THE DAY: BOUT IT- YUNG JOC FEAT. 3LW

Ciao Laura

Today, I went to Hampton Beach cuz it's only a 1/2 hour away from my gramma's house. We went to the getty first. At the end of it I always crawl all the way down to where the waves go over the rocks and get soaked. It's a dangerous spot to be but I always do it anyways. After that I read my book cuz the water was freezing and there wuz a rip tide so we couldn't go in the water for a 1/2 hour. We went to the corner candy store and got lots of candy along w/ free samples of fudge (I had creamsicle). I also ate a foot long hot dog. I got some really bad sunburn on the back of my legs cuz i missed a few spots. My legs still hurt. We also went in my grammas awesome pool. It has a diving board and a deep end and everything.

OBSESSION OF THE DAY: SUNBLOCK

Yesterday was the weirdest day ever. It started when my mom woke us up early to go to my Nana's house. We got there and my cousins Cailin and Lexi were already there. I read for a little bit but then I heard voices coming from someone I didn't know. So I went into the backyard and saw Theresa, Katherine and two kids from across the street that i later found out to be Jasmine and Karissa. I went inside to read some more and then I heard yelling and screaming coming from the backyard. When I got there there was four more boys. I was like "Woah where did all these peeps come from!" They were having a ball fight sooooooooo I joined in. Basically it was the three oldest boys: Booboo( a cool black dude), idk his name (this quiet kid) and Wayne ( this guy w/ HUGE guns). He could lift Theresa w/ one arm ( not that she weighs much-only three pounds more than Katherine). Well since I was the oldest kid on my team I could throw balls pretty hard at them but they were WAY outnumbered so they barely hit me. Whenever I hit Wayne he would chase me around the yard until he got close enough and would lift me up and flip me over him. The first time he did it I almost threw up but by the tenth time I had stopped screaming and had started pummeling him: htting, kicking, elbowing, scratching etc.( while upside down). Once he pinned me down so I couldn't get him in any way and said "You can't do anything no except maybe bite me" and I was like "I didn't think of that"and bit him (it was super gross) and then he said " I forgot you had braces" and I went "MWAHAHA!". Here were these kids I had just met and we started beating each other up. It was like smack down, but w/ pinning pp in theair too. When we got home my clothes were so stained it was amazing(they still are). And know my mom keeps annoying me by mentioning Wayne every five seconds and about how cute he is and BLAHBLAHBLAH. Unfortunately my mom does that about any guys I talk to in front of her. Like when me and some friends went to Timmy's house at Summerfest my 'rents were trying to embarass me in front of him but whatev. Well this whole Wayne thing is going WAY overboard and the thing is he actually is pretty HOT cuz he has super beefed up arms, is really nice and lives next door to my nana. Unfortunately he is 17 and is kinda related to me but not really. He is my mom's cousin's son BUT adopted. That's why I've never met him before only seen him around. Also, he's more like a brother to me (w/ the whole beating me up thing). Too bad I don't have a pic of him I can post for you. I shoulda given him my e-mail so we could chat and he could send me a pic. Wow this is a looooooooong post but whatev. If you've gotten this far your almost done.

OBSESSION OF THE DAY: BOOKMARKS (I GOT 9 NEWS ONES)

Unfortunately i had to skip xc cuz I'm totally not a geek that runs by herself. Especially not in a place that's not even my hometown and without my running buddies. Today I basically just chatted through email to all my friends back home. And I used my new neopets account. It's sooooooo fun! I bought a cute little Abominable Snowman petpet for my JubJub (i'm not surprised if you have no idea what i'm talking about). For the most part i've sat around doing nothing, nada, zip all day. Anyways I've gotta go so I can watch The last day of summer. Leave a comment if you dare. MWA HAHA!

I'm off to my grandparents as soon as xc ends. Two hour drive. At least we have a temporary DVD player in the car. And when i get there there i get to babysit my sistas plus two of my cousins while my mom has one of her fantastico Tastefully Simple parties.wahoo NOT! I'll be back by Tuesday at the latest. Of course you'll miss me so my suggestion is to go to a friend's house so you forget.
