advice
take the time to read this.........it's good stuff....most of it

ONE.
Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

TWO.
Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older their
conversational skills will be as important as any other.

THREE.
Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you
want.

FOUR.
When you say, "I love you", mean it.

FIVE.
When you say, "I'm sorry", look the person in the eye.

SIX.
Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

SEVEN.
Believe in love at first sight.

EIGHT.
Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who
don't have dreams don't have much.

NINE.
Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt
but it's the only way to live life completely.

TEN.
In disagreements, fight fairly. Please No name calling.

ELEVEN.
Don't judge people by their relatives.

TWELVE.
Talk slowly but think quickly.

THIRTEEN.
When someone asks you a question you don't want
to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"

FOURTEEN.
Remember that great love and great
achievements involve great risk.

FIFTEEN.
Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.

SIXTEEN.
When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

SEVENTEEN.
Remember the three R's:
Respect for self;
Respect for others;
Responsibility for all your actions.

EIGHTEEN.
Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

NINETEEN.
When you realize you've made a mistake,
take immediate steps to correct it.

TWENTY.
Smile when picking up the phone.
The caller will hear it in your voice.

TWENTY ONE.
Spend some time alone.

just a thought
Okay, I was just thinking to my self. Why do Non-Christians celebrate Chirstian holidays? I mean, this is stupid. People who don't have faith participate in Chirstmas and Easter. I'm not Jewish, so I don't celebrate Hanacha (beans, correct my spelling because I know it's wrong) or any of their religious holidays. So why on earth do people who don't have a relationship with God celebrate his birthday and ressurection? This is funny to me. These people celebrate these holidays for the wrong reasons. The holidays are not about getting presents or eating big dinners or seeing family members. They are about celebrating Jeasus Christ. It's all backwards now. Yeah, I didn't get an Easter basket this year. So what? I had one of the best Easter's ever. I spent most of my day at church with and with my family and it was great. So yeah, if anyone has any ideas on this subject, i'd like to hear other people's opinions. thanks :)

i was just listening to the cd and not expecting this song to come up anytime soon......and bam...there it is. mine and ryan's old song. and bam...there they were, the tears. iiiiiii mmmmmmmmmiiiiiiiisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss him. and i know you've heard enough and you don't care.......but you know what... i don't care. ha ha ...wow...that sounded kind of mean, but it just makes me feel worse when you tell me it's over, i know it's over. you don't need to tell me to rub it in more. it makes me sad.

the concert last night was really nice. all 3 bands did a great job. it was really the first time i had really heard bright lit city and i liked them alot. they have some great lyrics and awesome voices. fuzzy logic, as always rocked the house in my eyes. it was nice to hear steal and last night, my 2 favorites that they wrote. it was good to see all the bands getting along and helping out. bruce said checkers did a nice job as well. i don't really like the kind of music they play, but that's okay. everyone has their own types. they do have a lot of talent. they can really play fast! haha... anyways, the concert was just a nice end to a good week.

happy easter... church @ 7 am with the youth group to cook the easter breakfast and then we're all going to the 10 am service after we clean up. i bought a new skirt. it's cute.

we took the puppies to the dam in rockford to see how they would do on leashes.. (insert the dukes gay laugh from moulin rouge here) they were sooooo uncoriptive. haha oh welll, we saw some people we knew from our old church and lots and lots of people stopped to pet them... even hotties :)

other than the above discussed events, not much has been going on. i bought some new music books, one for flute and one for guitar. and grandpa is here and we listened to music together today while i painted my nails for church. we got in trouble by mom for having the music so loud :) i love my grandpa so much. everytime is see him we get closer. he's so much different than my dad and i'm closer with my grandpa than i am with my dad even though i don't see my grandpa as much. he's just a magnificent man. i don't know what i'll do when it's his time to go...which shouldn't be for a while since he's so young. 65 i think...not too bad! heh

anyways, hope whatever you're doing for this blessed holiday is enjoyable for you. God Bless!

Because of anti-German sentiment during WWI, Americans referred to sauerkraut as "liberty cabbage."

Is there a real life-
Or is it fantasy-
Outside of basics,
My escape from reality.
Open your eyes,
Though we're in disguise, they see
I'm just a band geek,
I need no sympathy
'Cause I march in the sun, in the snow,
Sick or tired, I still go.
Even when the wind blows,
Or if it's two hundred degrees, degrees.
Mama, I'm in the cult
Marched twelve miles eight-to-five, it's a wonder I'm alive
Mama, band camp's just begun,
I've tossed my hopes of sanity away
Mama, ooh, so what if I'm a wreck
You know that I'll be there again tomorrow,
Marching on, marching on
Because marching really matters.
Too late, the drill has come
Panic running through my mind
'Cause the back field isn't lined
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to play
Gotta rehearse John Williams still today
Mama, ooh, ('specially when the wind blows)
I just wanna die- I sometimes wish I'd never signed up at all!
I see a little silhouetto of a block,
Back left slide! Front right flank!
Can you pull the maneuvers?
Mark time to the ankle,
Hope seniors don't mangle thee!
People's Choice! GE visual!
People's Choice! GE visual!
GE visual? I don't know
Still flags to sew...
I'm just a pitster, nobody follows me
He's just a pitster, pathetic as can be
He doesn't march, his problem I can't see!
Fingers are turning blue- what's a flute to do?
Play trombone! No, we'll never play trombone!
Play trombone! On your life, we'll never play trombone!
Play trombone! On your life, we'll never play trombone!
Play trombone! Never play trombone!
Play trombone! Never, never, ever play trombone!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
John Phillip Sousa, Mr. Sousa, Mr. Sousa let me go
The sousaphones have no intervals beside of me, of me, of me!
So you think you can mock us and say that we're weird?
Hey, that's just your opinion, we know that we're feared!
Oh, baby, are we crazy, just maybe!
When we watch films starring the Knights Who Say Ni!
Marching really matters, anyone could see,
Marching really matters, marching really matters to me
Even when the wind blows...

You know you've been in band too long when (some new ones, some of the same...i found them on msn):

10.You walk in step with any one you walk with.

9.You always step out with your left foot.

8.When you hear a song you can distinguish individual notes and instruments.

7.You mark time to songs on the radio.

6.Your right foot always hits the line in the pavement.

5.You can tell who is a drummer, even from another band because he's hot and stupid.

4.You hear another band and you cringe when they play anything you've played because you KNOW you play it better.

3.When ANYONE asks "Are there any questions?" You always think "No sir."

2.You walk in the mall & you can tell who else is a band nerd because they walk in step with their friends.

1.When you just want to kill the next person who says : "This one time at band camp..

okay, so today i felt alot better. haha...no throwing up!!!!!!!!!!!!! woo!!!!!!!!!! we went to a really cool museum today and ahhh... i saw so many hot guys today. i was getting kind of worried, like there wasn't going to be any in CA. but no, today proved to me there are many hotties. i talked to only a select few. ha ha ha ha ha ha. wes... sigh...he was in the museum. oh my gosh. what a looker. he could have come out of a magizine. and then, my aunt goes to the health club to swim laps so my mom and i just walked around. ahhhhhhhhh.........i turned around! and there was one! right there!!! then i went out the door! and 2 MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! right in my face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! phew..what a day. ha ha ha ha... but i really needed that. i hadn't seen hardly any the entire trip, then school for them gets out and the hotties just start swarming the city! we also went to the exploritorium... that dome thing you always see on tv. you'll know what i'm talking about when i get you guys pictures. anyways, i'm getting tired because i'm still not used to the stupid ass time change. i'll probably be used to it on sunday, but we're leaving sunday night/monday morning, so i guess that will just screw me up more. oh well. heh. hope everyone is having fun, i heard it was warm the past few days! awesome! i miss you all....a lot........... i'll be home soon!!! love and hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!

ick..today was not the best. bleh... i started my morning off by throwing up twice in the toilet. finally, i got the courage to get a shower and clothing on. on the way to san fransisco i managed to throw up something else i didn't eat. hmmm... we went to a marine mammal rescue for a little while to visit the seals. very cute :) then we did some driving around and visited three small villages just outside of san fransisco. at the end we rented some movies and now i'm getting ready to crash to bed. hope everything is going well. love and hugs to all :)
