Wow, I'm tired. Not only have I been to two intense dances in the past few days, stayed up far too late the past few nights, and gotten up too early these past couple of mornings, but I just went on a 12 miles hike up to Nordhoff peak and back again with my great uncle John, three of my sisters and my brother. My uncle took us for our collective birthday. It was long, long, long. Steep, and very cold. I took some cool pictures on my phone though.
We just finished opening presents, and I got three awesome tee-shirts. One says Baseball, the other says Baseball, and the third says Baseball :-P They're pretty much amazing. I'm going to wear them all the time now.
I also got a book called "Philadelphia Chickens" It's a book of hilarious songs performed by famous people, and it comes with a CD, sheet music, lyrics et all. I think I'm going to enjoy them very much. I'll post some of the lyrics when I get the chance.
We also got loads of tennis balls, a bocce ball set, a little "space alien invasion" game, a book on Doubles Strategy, a movie....and my brother got a hard drive for our 360 :P Now all we need are some games that are compatible with the 360 and we'll be set and able to play on it.
My dad also officially gave me his old, old ipod, and I'm currently borrowing about 16 CD's from Luke and importing them all onto said device. I'm planning on listening to music the entire way to New York. What I really need, though, is the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack. I watched it about a week ago for the first time, and I'm in love with the music. On a very related note, I love Tenors. We are absolutely the best voice part. Sopranos come in a close second, but only because they sound so good with Tenors :O) I'm trying to get ahold of the music for "All I Ask Of You" and I believe Mr. Wagner has the sheet music in his office, so I plan to photocopy it and sing it with someone *rubs hands together* Music is wonderful, singing is better, and Tenors are the best!!! :-)
And now, I get to go eat Trifle, French Silk Pie, and ice cream!

That last part was totally uncalled for, seeing as right now it's LENT and we're supposed to be FASTING. I know you wrote that yesterday, but heck. It's still uncalled for. Especially if you don't post for a few weeks again...
Happy Birthday! Now it's your real birthday. I'll take this moment to remind you once more that my 7th birthday was on Good Friday which I maintain is worse. Happy Sweet 16!
How can you possibly be suffering from lent when it's only 8:30 am? And you commented at 8, so you've only probly been up for a very short time, which means you wouldn't have had a chance to suffer yet!
Ash Wednesday is worse because you have an entire Lent to look forward to. Good Friday...you only have two more days!
I thought only girls had Sweet 16's...
Happy birthday, Thomas! While at Mass I said some 'birthday prayers' for you. :) I hope they help!
I am happy it's Lent. This means that I can take another little step going to Sainthood. Of course I have quite a ways to go, but I'm working on it.
You like Tenors too, eh? That makes two of you, Sheila. :) I'm sure you two will sound marvelously singing Phantom of the Opera together. That'll be great! Have fun!
Again, happy birthday, and if it is the Will of God, many more! Have a terrific year, and God bless you!
All: Happy beginning of Lent. May you all have a fabulous time fasting! ;)
I definitely did NOT have a good time fasting yesterday. Thank God that's over... I hate lent, esp. ash wednesday. But we already discussed that, didn't we, Thomas? I'm glad it was your birthday, though. I mean, I was glad I got to hang out with you because it was your birthday, but I wasn't glad your birthday was Ash Wed. That pretty much sucked. But whatever.
And wether it was 8 or no, I was definitely suffering. Just so you know... :)
I like being able to suffer, and offer it up to Our Lord, who suffer and *died for our sins*. We can at least fast for not even 24 hours!
Was your birthday nice, Thomas?
