Spring Cleaning in the Summer

     Day 20                                                                                                                Saturday

  Yesterday we got a new washer and dryer because our old (and I mean old as in ten years old.) washer had started leaking across the bathroom floor, so what better time to replace both of our ancient household appliances.
So the day before the people who are going to come and install our new cleaning machines come we have to drag out the old W and D, (W and D stands for washer and dryer if you didn't already get that... I hope you did get that though for the sake of the human race.) and so they got them both dragged out of there (don't ask me how they did it.) and now left on the walls and floor where the things used to reside was loads of black and gray gunk. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
We figured out that it was dust, years and years of dust built up... And now we have to clean it, doesn't that sound like fun. We got out a bucket, some rags and a scrubber tool thingy and we filled the bucket with water and soap. My brother got rid of most of the gluck on the floor and then Mom made me go in there and scrub the walls, somewhere around an hour later the room was finally clean and ready for the new W and D.
Now finally the two machines we put so much work into getting ready for are finally installed and this morning we used them for the first time, and we discovered something about them that made all that work worth it, when they are done cleaning or drying your clothes the machines play a little tune for you to tell you it's done instead of blaring out a loud beeping noise. 
The little things that make your day. :)

I am Officially Old! (Sort of)

     Day 19                                                                                                            Tuesday


Sung to the tune of "Happy Birthday"   
Happy birthday to me,
everyone that I see, says that I look older,
oh look, new false teeth.
  
  I just composed this beautiful masterpiece for myself to introduce to you the truth that yes, it was my birthday last week! Tadaaaa!!!!!!!!  (Fireworks go off in the background, marching band plays)  Also, even though this has probably been figured out by many individuals besides myself, if you ever go somewhere or do anything sociable and someone figures out that it's your birthday (and usually that person yells it out to everyone in the vicinity) you will be bombarded with singing and other such enthusiasm. 
I was camping with my friends and a bunch of families so I was sung happy birthday (no joke) around ten times throughout the entirety of the day.
First when it turned midnight, then when we got up in the morning, then at lunch and so on.
Don't you love getting up at seven in the morning and get eaten by mosquitos while freezing to death?
I think I must since I keep on going camping.
  You know what's fun?  Screaming your head off and yelling random songs across the whole campground at eleven o'clock at night. I feel bad for the other people in the campground trying to sleep though... sorry peoples I don't know.   So that was most of the happenings of my birthday in a nutshell. Hope you enjoyed it, I know I did! :P

Blond is my brain type not my hair color

     Day 18                                                                                                                    Sunday

  I went to a baseball game last week with my friends and I actually had fun, surprisingly.
Normally baseball games are super, duper, uper boring.
You get there, you sit there waiting for the game to start and then it does and you're still bored.
But me and my friend were allowed to buy some food (by the way ballpark food isn't the best quality) and we kept on getting more pop, which made us really hyper and I had a camera so we were taking pictures of the randomest things.
  These aren't very common, but you know those bathrooms that have two doors on either side of the room and you can only open the exit door from the inside and not the entrance?
Well I had never seen one of those until last week at the ballpark and apparently neither had my friend, so even though their is a huge EXIT sign plastered on the wall next to the exit I and my colleague do the intelligent thing (of course) and try and push open the entrance...
And is that where our high intellectuality ends? Not even close, the next two times we enter the facility, even though we know the EXIT door is over there on the opposing wall we still try and push open the entrance. (Blond moments)
I think if  I'm remembering this correctly the team we were supposedly rooting for lost.
  Oh and the whole game at all the pauses/intervals the speakers would play one third of a song and then stop and then play another one third of a song and so on until the game started up again, for some reason they never played a whole song, it's still a mystery to me. 
I should write a book.
