I can't think of titles tonight! I'm just going to post.

Ah, here goes a late-night blog post...lol. Hey, tomorrow I'm off school, so what the heck? It won't matter if I'm tired and sleep in a bit... well, not like I don't do that on regular school days too *sheepish grin*

Wow. Okay then. I just got suddenly interrupted from my typings by dad... who oddly enough came in to tell me to start leaving lights ON. Apparently florecent lightbulbs last longer and it's better for them to be left on for longer periods than frequently turned on and off. Ha, usually I'm always told to turn lights off...thats a first. But we apparently switched bulbs.

So here I am, 10:36 at night listening to music that completely doesn't fit the mood I'm in. But I just downloaded this awesome piano version of Linkin Park's "Pushing Me Away" earlier and it sounds really pretty, so I couldn't help but play it over again :-)

It's somewhat funny that I'm so happy... for the most part it was a somewhat frustrating day. My English lesson was extremely annoying and I got almost all the questions wrong, I tried to record an MP3 of a song I wrote but kept messing up on the guitar as I was attempting to record, and had a weird stomach ache earlier this evening. Not to mention other random problems I've been having lately. But friends are amazing. And after being annoyed at so much all week, I suddenly came back again to the realization that life is amazing too.

(oh and my song now fits my mood now...ha it just switched to Dental Care by Owl City *big grin* *nods head* *proceeds to lip synch to song very dramatically*)

I love divine providence. I find it no coincidence that just when I think I'm gonna go nuts, the one friend who I'd been wishing like crazy would have time to talk to me suddenly pops on chat. For an hour and a half. And lets me vent out my problems and produces just the advice I should hear. Then as an added bonus my other favorite person to IM pops online as well! I'm so thankful for the people God's put in my life (and at just the right times, none the less).

Really...there is a lot to be thankful for. But somehow it's so crazy easy to just home in on the stuff we think is bad and just go on a complaining spree. Even in this time of year with Thanksgiving Day in just a lil bit of no time. Sure, we all sit around the table gorging ourselves on turkey and saying how greatful we are for stuff. Then we go home and write a big list of all the stuff that we want but don't have and hope our relatives or friends will give it to us for Christmas. It seems a bit hipocritical to me, and with that thought in mind, I felt a little weird writing a wishlist to give mom. But she kept asking me what I want for Christmas... *shrugs* so despite my opinion of it seeming so hypocritical, I did. Hey, this way she has ideas insteada trying to go buy stuff thinking "Oh boy...would Sarah like this? Hmmm." cause that's always kinda hard.

So, you guys got any plans for Thanksgiving? How about we all get together and share a big Camp Hopie dinner? ;-) Ha that would be amazing. But I'm gonna be outa town. We're driving to Walla Walla right after lunch tomorrow to spend the night with my gparents. Then Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV the next morning and the rest of the day will be spent at my aunt & uncle's place! Yay. Especially yay on the uncle part. I always look forward to spending time over there cause he is HILARIOUS! Hey, as long as I can survive my cousin's 1 year old and almost-3-year old daughters, should be all good. Last time I saw Jenna she was a very grumpy, moody kid...and JoAnna wasn't born yet, so I know nothing of her. Guess I'll just hope for the best on that part, and if I get the worst, I'll just slip away to some upstairs room and read LOTR or play madlibs with my brother. Thats always a good solution :-)

Well, it's 11:17, so I suppose I should some how rip myself away from the joys of blog posting and my wonderful mix of songs playing on Media Player. *Yawns* (hmm...seeing people yawn in person always makes me yawn. I wonder if seeing me yawn via blog will make you yawn?)

Hope you all have an awesome Thanksgiving!!!

PS: you should tell me if my above theory worked on you...hehe ;-)

That Thanksgiving day parade is my FAVORITE part of Thanksgiving! Well, I would rather get together with relatives if I had to choose, but the parade makes it actually feel like Thanksgiving.

Yes!! Same here... I totally love that parade :-) this will be the first year I'll actually get to see all of it. All the other years I only see like the last half hour cause we're traveling to my gparents in the morning, but right now we're already here, so I can just wake up and turn it on *big grin* yay
