Hey everyone! It's been FOREVER since I last wrote anything in here... there's no way I'm catching up. So, I'll just talk about today...
 Hockey camp was fun (as expected). I ran there- which was a pretty short run, but it felt nice! Then, we had to undergo registration (where the kids get really antsy)...which took awhile. We finally split up into groups (I get to be with the littlest kids!! Yessssss! Elise, Kristen, Alyssa and I are quite a hit! ) and introduced ourselves. Then, we spent the whole day playing games, occasionally picking up a hockey stick (I guess the kids think they're there for the fun, not the hockey- sigh). There's this one girl in our group who calls herself WedgieWoman, and her stick FartFace. (What goes on in the minds of third graders?!)  Anyway, we do have some CUTE ones who are really sweet...and then there are the clingy ones... and the smelly ones (haha counselors!). So, yeah; it was a whole lot of fun... can't wait til tomorrow!
 Well, anyway, tonight I went to my sister's game after doing a bit of a "workout" at home. Since she was playing Em's team, Elise and Kristen were there (on bikes). We went to Kristen's house and then ran back so I could watch the game. Afterward, our families stopped at Secret Spot (and ended up sitting in the car with the HEAT on!). I was happy to see Candi there !
Well, similar plans for tomorrow... running to the HS, coaching @ camp, coming home, and doing whatever. It should be exciting!  I'll probably clean my room, since I do that every day!
   I miss Coob a lot... I haven't heard from her since school let out. I just left a message on her cell tonight, so hopefully we don't play phone tag! All I can say is that I'd better get to see her before she goes to college!
   Well, all, I'd better get some sleep... long morning ahead of me tomorrow!
 I love those little girls! They're so adorable!
("It's still not even! That group has SIX! Oh, never mind- I accidentally counted Elise!" haha Lyss! Elise- you are SO great! )

it's been too long for me to completely update this, so I'm just not going to... this is good enough for today anyway!

Hectic plans this weekend (again I mention)...
 Tonight, I'm eating dinner with my grandparents, and then they're dropping me off at Elise's (< she won't be there til eleven, though)... unless I find a way to get to Loran's (I don't know if that's going to happen...). Well, anyway, no matter what I'm sleeping over at the Rody's, and staying there a good portion of Saturday. Later, Alyssa's coming to pick me up~ I'm going to her mom's concert and then to her house to sleepover so I can get a ride to Futures early Sunday morning. After hockey, I'm heading back to the Rody residence until my mom and dad get home (prob. not until later). I can't wait for the weekend to start, and I hope it doesn't go too fast. We got a break from practice today, which was a relief (the first day of the season!). All of next week is going to be beginning-of-the-season all over again, though... which will definitely help all of us.  
I'm in a carefree mood right now... let's hope it continues.
love, love, and more love...

Our meet today was good, although the track SUCKED  and the opp. coaches were being jerks about the 1st lane. Every time I go to one of the meets, I love the season more and more . I guess that it's because our team is so spirited and everyone is incredibly sweet and supportive! If there's a sport that's like that, it's definitely track!  I just wanted to say that our 2004 team has made me so proud and happy and important (hehe  ) THANKS... YOU ALL ARE THE GRRRREATEST!
Team Distance will live on forever!

PS. Quotes I don't want to forget...
"Treat every week like seven Fridays!"
"You will never have to change friends if you understand that friends change."
"If you don't try hard the first time, you'll have to do it over and over. Isn't it better to just give it your all right away?"
"It ain't braggin if you can do it!"
"A good friend is a connection to life- a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world"
"Friends are pretty much everything- the squish in our organs, the crinkles in our smiling faces, the decadent fun in shared adventures and secret promises."
"Instead of wishing for something big, take what little you have and turn it into something extreme."
"The best thing to hold onto in this world is each other."
"The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away."
"You don't get a second chance at a first impression."
"If you can't find just a single pinch of worthiness in doing something, don't waste your time."
