Well, here I am at 16 years of age! I had planned a visit to the DMV to get my permit but it didn't work out today :) Maybe next week. After waiting 16 years to be able to drive, one week is nothing!
The motorcycle I planned to have by now isn't here either, I haven't found any affordable Honda 350s around here. The riding season is just about over, so if I don't find one really soon, I'll have to wait till spring.
I posted a new picture on my website (see link on left), someone finally got me at a photogenic moment! A funny thing happened to my cake this year. My mom made a cheesecake with a graham cracker crumb crust. She put a pile of the crumbs on top, and then the candles. I figured, I really wanted to show these candles I could blow them out, so I really blew. The crumbs went all over the place. hahaha.
I just realized I haven't posted anymore about the singing trip. I guess once you start something, you owe it to your readers to finish :)
The trip home is oftentimes the most fun. Whatever tension may have built up during the concert is gone, there's no more worrying about how a certain part of the concert will turn out, or what to do about that lost power supply. There's no more staying dressed up, I usually bring along a knapsack of clothes to change into after the concert. Usually if we're on a long trip or have had a long day we'll stop at a grocery store and pick up popsicles and make sandwiches. That is especially refreshing on a hot summer day! Somehow vehicles that don't have the greatest AC seem to REALLY heat up after a concert. Sometimes it gets noisy on the trip home, but with most of the boys sitting in the back of the bus, it's very bearable, and not one bit as annoying as it was in the van.
Sometimes the last five minutes of the trip can be discouraging, knowing the sound system has to be unloaded from the bus and put away in the house. It takes about the same amount of time to unload as load (20-30 minutes). Once it's put away, the whole thing is over!!! That is, till the next concert :)
I hope you've been able to follow this, I know it's terribly hard to read with all the sections split up. I'm going to post it at my other blog, www.macdonaldfamily.blogspot.com.
