mary's blog: 2009

Last night I watched Star Trek (the new movie) for the first time. It started out so sad! A very-handsome-Captian-Kirks-Dad died at the beginning! But other than that and a few other things, I liked the movie (it wasn't a fave or anything, but I wouldn't mind watching it again).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

China doll

Yesterday, I went and got some "cha-cha cherry" red lipstick, and mineral eyeliner and blush and experimented with them last night. Kathy said I looked like a "China doll". She's pretty cute. I still need more makeup than what I got yesterday, but for now I am just the China-doll-Angel-Attendant for the Nutcracker. :)

nutcracker

I am having SO much fun with Nutcracker stuff! recently i have been looking for stuff like CHERRY RED lipstick (which i don't think i will be wearing after the performances, what do you think?:)). ballet/nutcracker are my happy pills:). the girls i am dancing with are so fun, and there is a wide range of personalities, so that's fun, too.

Palmer Home

We (Dad, Susie, Sarah and I) got back from a wonderful mission trip to Palmer Home on Friday night. It was so fun! A typical day for me was -

6:45 wake up and do devotions

8:00 eat breakfast

8:45 get ready for work

9:00 do random work jobs (work at the thrift store, paint a fence, weed the gardens, etc)

12:00 lunch

1:00 do more work jobs

4:00 free time (showers, clean up, interact with Palmer Home kids)

5:30 dinner

6:30 nightly activity (play in pool, go skating, play with kids)

8:45 worship time with group

10:15 small groups (roomates and team leader)

11:30 get ready for bed

and then, for my group, we usaully talked until 1:00-1:45, and then went to sleep:)

I am sure I will post more about the trip later (with pictures), so stay tuned.

Visit

We had a wonderful visit from the Keisters/Garrisons. They arrived on Wednesday at about 2:30, and we talked for awhile and met Hans (who is ADORABLE!). Then we went out to get a few groceries to use for our tea party. Once we got back, we made scones and carob brownies. After Dad grilled the burgers, we ate dinner, and played "Family" and "Psychiatrist" for the rest of the night. Today, we got up, made fruit salad, prepared the tea food, had our tea party for breakfast, put away food, and played "Psychiatrist" until they had to leave at about 10:30.

Sarah tryed some different methods for making the scones...this one involved spreading the dough on the countertop and then scraping it back up with a spoon and dropping it on a cookie sheet.
