Yelling at Walls and Red Lights

Well, I was down in St. Cloud for NFL's this weekend...three long days of Speech!!!!! Anywho...I, for the first time in my life, yelled at the wall. That's what we do to practice our speeches at meets...but I've never been able to do it before, cuz it looks stupid and I'd rather have an audience of my peers to critique me. So, that was a historic moment...or 5, cuz that's about how long my speech is. Anywho...when we were coming home today, Mrs. Meyer...one of our coaches and the woman driving the van I was in....ran 4!!!!!!!!!! Red Lights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was confused...we did well at the meet...why does she want us to DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But anyway, I'm home now, and thrilled about it! I made a crap-ton of friends this weekend, and I can't wait until the DL Speech Invite next weekend!

Time Out

So, there I was at Ash Wednesday Mass, and Father Jerry is giving the homily and comparing Lent to....a time out. That's right, Lent is a time for us to maybe sit in a corner and think about our behavior. Think about changing it, and being better people. Only Father Jerry could come up with that analogy...kudos!
