The Pops Concert!

That's right folks, it's over offically. *sniff* I was sooo fun! Oh yeah. Three concerts in two nights. Last night it went WAY over time wise, but otherwise good. It was the first one so therefore we made more mistakes, but pshaw. I was a tourist, a hippie, and all in red. The themes were NYC, the 60s and the end is always black & white. (This year was the first time we got to wear red.) Tonight we had such a good time! Especially the last showing-7:30PM. (We do two on Saturday 5PM & 7:30PM) They're the most fun 'cause they get into more therefore we get into it more. They got a lot of extras. For example, the high schoolers randomly went out into the audience and danced during two of our songs, the whole choir laughed extra long and hard at Marvin's Jewish joke, some people in the audience picked up the candles from their table and waved them in the air along with the music and got up and danced to a different song. It was great! Plus some of my family came. My Grandma, two aunts and an uncle and Valerie. And. . . Anna and Cherize! Yea! They were sticking their tongues out at me to try and make me laugh. I held strong. Yep. I also got to be a part of the Von Trapp Family Singers. We wore curtins from the actual choir room from Wes Pres. Yeah. I know. I had a two word solo which went okay I guess. A Rogers Peet was a men's clothing store in case anyone was wondering. My Aunt Wendy and our pastor, Frank got up to dance and sing along badly to Mo-Town. That was funny. Marvin (choir director) & wife Linda were Sonny & Cher. That was great! Tomorrow we have the Sunday off from singing. It's Youth Sunday! Translation: we sing songs the old people don't know, Donny gives the message, youth lead singing, prayers, and children's message. I love them 'cause we sing songs I know and like at the right tempo. (Old people like to sing slow!)
I had an awesome weekend and it's not even over! Thanks for comin' Anna & Cherize! I hope ya had an awesome time seeing me make a fool out of myself in public on purpose!

SALT was awesome! (Yet again)

I caught a ride to Eburg with Stover. She had some car trouble. (It had something to do with speeding up and then slowing down too fast and 02) says the girl who knows next to nothing about how cars actual work and shrugs. We had a good time anyway. We listened to KLove music that Stover burned onto a CD. We also raced some old people who were actual going over the speed limit. Who knew they had it in 'em? Then we raced a black pickup truck. We lost. *shrug* We got there barely on time; Anna, Megan, Sharee and Ben were already there. I felt bad 'cause Ben didn't really know anyone but me and I meant to get there early because of that fact. The music was great as usual except I don't know half the songs they have. The message was great! Just what I needed to hear at the right time I needed to hear it. It was basically God shoving stuff in my face that I'd been pushing to the side for too long. Then we sang two songs I actually knew and another new one that was great. Oh and there was a Valerie look alike on the worship team. I'll have to tell she has another twin. Hahaha. We gave Ben a ride to his apartment and then went to Taco Bell where the guy taking the orders musta thought Megan & Sharee were drunk, but. . .yeah. Anna & I said we did't know them. Once back in Yakima Megan took me home. We had a REALLY awesome talk about a lot of stuff. It was really good to get a second opinion on/different look at some different things, and it was just a real God thing.

It's Somebody's Birthday Today!

Yes folks, it's Kimberly Sue Wilder's nineteenth birthday today! Yea!
(I already did this once with the help of Annie, but the server couldn't be found. I'll do my best to remember what Annie said.)
Annie : Birthday question- who would you rather date? Michael Jackson or Richard Simmons? I know I'm evil. Bonnie as of right now we have TWO lime yogurts in my fridge. (*shudder*) Oh, and something about how she is still kinda grumpy, but I make her feel better 'cause I'm happy. *shrug*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kim! As my sister told me on our 15th birthday, it's your day, so be whoever/whatever you want to be 'cause you have a valid excuse.

Drum Roll Please. . .It's Somebody's Birthday Today!

Yes folks; Andrew Richard Hapel is nineteen years old today. Since he never reads my blog, I give the duty of telling him happy birthday for me to Steve. Also because he never reads my blog, I thought I'd have some fun. I invite everyone to comment on what they like best about Andy. Mine's funny. Andy and I had english together third trimester last year and much to my delight, I found out that it's easy to rile him up. Suprisingly easy. Heheheh. He sat next to me and one of my friends sat across from him. Just to make him mad we'd pretend to wisper about him to each other. (We really talked about her boyfriend. We did numorous other things which I've sense forgotten, but that got the best reaction.) I'd most definitly say that was my favorite thing about Andy. Yep.
PS-You might want to be quick about it as tomorrow's someone else's birthday. Any guesses as to who? (Annie is disqualified because she already knows.)

Are You Ready for A Sewiously Funny Song?

A group of eight never been married girls are singing Marry the Man Today and Change His Way Tomorrow for the Pops Concert. We have two high schoolers from IKE-Christina & Lena, two from WV-Julia & Malloree, one from Riverside-Erica, Megan & I from YVC and Julie from online UW. (I'm setting the stage.)
Megan- At Wanamaker's and Sak's and Klein's A lesson I've been taught You can't get alterations on a dress you haven't bought At any veg'table market from Borneo to Nome You mustn't squeeze a melon till you get the melon home You've simply got to gamble You got no guarantee Now doesn't that apply to you and I? Us seven remaining girls- You and me. Megan- Why not? Us seven remaing girls- Why not what? Megan- Marry the man today Trouble tho' he may be Much as he likes to play Crazy and wild and free. All- Marry the man today Rather than sigh and sorrow, Marry the man today And change his ways tomorrow. Echo with seven first, Megan second- Marry the man today Maybe he's leaving town Don't let him get away Hurry and track him down Marry the man today. Together- Give him the girlish laughter Give him your hand today and save the fist for after. Erica- Slowly introduce him to the better things Lena- respectable, conservative and clean Julia- Readers Digest Malloree- Guy Lombardo Me- Rogers Peet Julie- Golf Christina- Galoshes All- Ovaltine But marry the man today Handle it meek and gently Megan- Marry the man today and train him subsequently Seven- Carefully expose to domestic life And if he ever trys to stray from you Have a potroast Megan- Have a headache Seven- Have a baby Megan- Have two Seven- six Megan- nine Seven- Stop! Together- Marry the man today Rather than sigh and sorrow Marry the man today and change his ways and change his waysand change his ways Tomorrow.
I happen to find this song very amusing, but does anyone by change know what a Rogers Peet is? (If I have to sing it I'd like to know what it is. ) I don't believe it's a person. And does Anna know anyone with a rubber chicken that we could borrow for the concert?

One of Those Days

Yesterday was one of those days. My sister called me saying she'd locked her keys in her car and could I come rescue her. Normally that would be totally fine, but I've been having all the seizure problems and not driving. Nobody else could do this for her, so I went to 1st Pres which is where she was stuck. Problem: had a seizure-like dead weight feeling in the left side of my body. Oh great, was my thought because now I have to continue geting rides from people. Plus I have to call my doctor in Seattle and talk to his answering machine again. Not to mention that Laura & I left my car at 1st Pres which isn't the ideal place to leave a car as we all know. So I spent the afternoon at Laura & Cahnen's house watching Lilo and Stich. (Good movie) Tuesday night is 701 which through Megan I got a message from God. Here it is: "Therefore, everything that happens in your life-both good and bad-is a gift on your journey of experiencing the love that God has for you and wants you to give others." Simple and direct. Just what I needed to hear. It made it all okay for now. (Never fear; I'll need to read this again if not today, tomorrow. Faith is not my strong point.)
As a side note, Annie locked her keys in her car yesterday too.
In other more regular news, we had a psych test today. I think I did okay. *Knock on wood*
And on Saturday I'll be taking a First aid/CPR class so I'll be ready for Best SELF this summer. (8-12) Oh, and as it turns out, I can't find my Social Security card which they need to have on file for me to have this job. (I did not lose the card. I never had it. Translation: it is somewhere inside this house. The only question is where?) Tomorrow I have a history test. And. . . no school on Friday! Oh yeah. Sleep in time!
11:11-make a wish!

Happy News! (Sorta)

I was going to post yesterday but my computer kept saying the server couldn't be found. (Very annoying)

Anyway, onto the happy news. Yesterday I had an interview with Judy Jacobson for a summer job at Best SELF which is a summer camp/school for under privileged kids. I didn't get the job, but I'm numero uno on the back up list and someone almost always backs out at the last minute. She said I'd be an assest to the team! So now I have to get all my cards renewed. (CPR, first aid, blood borne pathogens and a TB shot.) I REALLY want this job! I'd get 8 bucks an hour! (My job last summer I only got 5 bucks.) Plus I love working with these kind of kids. It'll be just like Orcas except I'll get payed! And I'm thinking of going into social work, so. . . can you say good experience? And it'll be fun!

Update on the contiuing saga of the seizures: I only had one yesterday and none today, so. . . keep your fingers crossed! (I REALLY hate not being able to drive! I LOVE the freedom of driving! I haven't driven in a week and a half! I'm driving deprived, can you tell?)

Pops Concert is in two, count 'em two weeks! I'm sooo super excited! All the high schoolers plus Julie, Megan & myself are singing a song from some musical. (I forget just which one) and it'll be fun. It's called Marry the Man Today and Change His Ways Tomorrow. That's pretty dang funny! Plus we're doing a song by the Von Trapp family and I get to wear curtins which'll be very hot, but fun 'cause I don't believe I've ever worn curtins before. I need a 60's costume and a NY costume now. I think for 60s I'll wear. . . what will I wear? Humm. For NY I think we have a costume for a garbage woman. Or I'll see what else we have. That'll be half the fun! Anna and Cherize are coming! I got you guys front row seats facing me actually. (Two years ago I was an alto so you wouldn't have been facing me.)

Have a good weekend everyone!

An "Interesting" Week

School started up again this week. I actually like my classes. Mr. Walker from geography last quarter is my 7:30AM class. This time for history. What a way to start the day huh Annie? It's not too bad 'cause I know quite a few people. David Wilder being one of them. I don't really talk to him though 'cause I'm not Margaret or Stover and therefore he has no interest in me. Thank the Lord. Heh. Lucky me. And next is math 85 with Mr. Mayo who is just REALLY funny! Oh my gosh! Who knew a teacher could make math fun? Wonders never cease. Then comes psyc with Tom. Yep. He refers to himself that way so I think of him as that. I think to his face I'd call him Mr. Mount, but whatever. The week has been filled with much laughter as I sit next to Anna, Stover and Gus. Today being April Fools Day meant Gus brought fake vomit and a fake bloody finger. Since he already tried to scare me with the finger last week (failing miserably), it didn't work today. The vomit just looked really fake although it made Tom smile. Whatever works.
The part that made this week "interesting" was the continued mini seizures. I had to call my doctor in Seattle numorous times to actual talk to someone who knew anything about my problem. The first time I somehow got connected to the on call doctor in Seattle. I ask you, how was she suppose to help me? The second time the operater who was suppose to connect me to my doctor told me that the number I called wasn't his office number. Duh! And then she hung up on me! I don't understand that! She's the operater therefore she transfers calls. That's her job! Maybe she needs to switch jobs. So this afternoon my doctor's receptionist called me and told me to take more medicine. Joy. I hope it works this time as I won't be driving until I know I won't possibly hurt somebody else! Please pray that this amount of meds works as I don't want anymore complications and scares.
My parents left to go on spring break to Az this afternoon. They'll be gone until next weekend. You know, it's kind of odd funny how whenever they go away either one of my sisters or I get sick or in this case have my seizures acting up. Something bad always happens.
PS-I beat the fishy game!
