Oh my....What is this world coming to? Today I got up early with my mom, and drove my brother and his friends to their golf tournament. Then I got coffee (I think that's the only way my mom got me out of bed). And then we went into Wal*Mart.
Now You have to understand, I do not like Wal*Mart. I just....okay I will spare you all my long and boring reasons that I don't support them. But as my mom says: "You just can't get some of this stuff other places!". For example: Hannah Montana 3-D glasses (Yes i did get those, but i got them to watch with the girl i'm babysitting next week), and Wal*Mart also had i don't know, its a Wal*Mart for petes sake! It has everything!
Okay so I don't know if any of you have been to a Wal*Mart around 8am. Its SUPER quiet. There was like maybe ten other people there. Weird I know (normally our Wal*Mart is like so busy you're fighting for a parking space).
Now this trip was just me and my mom. which is like super dangerous. Me and my mom went in there for like two things and walked out with like at least 15 different things, and we even forgot one of the things we went in there for in the first place. Me and my mom are crazy shopping together. We walk down the isles and are like "Oh i hear these are good" "Well put 'em in the cart" and then down the next isle: "oooh, those look yummy, lets get 'em". Yea i'm not even kidding.
I did manage to score a really great pair of flip flops while i was there, always a good thing.
And i think it was that that prompted me to say (what i swore I would never say) as i walked out to the car:
"Wow, they actually had some cute stuff in there! I might have to come back."
As soon as i said it I wanted to take it back, but I can't. And even more scary than the fact that i said it, I think it might be true!
What is this world coming to?

My Brother Gave me A "Pillow Hug"!
Psymon and my dad are away for the week. They went to SanFran. on a mission trip with my church. So its just me and my mom this week, oh the trouble we could get into....
Anyway....
Being the wonderful and amazing person that I am :) , I got up to see my brother and dad off. That meant my alarm went off at 7 AM. Ick. So the group had all prayed and loaded up all the luggage and kids were saying goodbye and going to claim their seats in the vans. I'm standing off to the side, just hanging. My brother walks up to me. He is wearing his backpack and then has his pillow in front of him.
"You want a hug?" He asks me with this huge grin on his face.
"I guess," I said. (Its not that my brother and I aren't close or anything, it just seemed kinda weird to me....I was right)
Psymon gives me a hug, with his pillow in between us. "PILLOW HUG" He says.
Only my brother.
Smiles,
Joyful :)

I met Jesus at Walmart!
Walmart with my family.... always good for some laughs.
First of all the store was under renovation. I walk into the store and theres this huge sign that says "53 Days till you're new walmart is here!". So the store is a little discombobulated (gosh i love that word).
Anyways lets get to the real story about how I met Jesus in the walmart.
Me and my brother decided to look around the toy isles. My mom had gotten everything she needed and was heading onto the food department. My brother and i looked at hot weels, and some board games. And then we were walking away, and all the sudden, I saw him....Jesus. He was there in the last toy isle!
I couldn't beleive it! "Psymon, Look its Jesus!" I said. "Oh, no," he grabbed my wrist and said lets go.
Apparently he didn't want to have a conversation with a Jesus that was in a plastic box. It was a "barbie doll" Jesus. And right next to Jesus was Moses (also in a plastic box). Oh my....What is this world coming to.
I found my mom and said, " MOm I just met Jesus in Wal Mart!"
She looked at me in disbelief and said "Oh, no what did you do?" Needless to say, I had a little explaining to do (Which was kinda difficult because i was laughing so hard. I mean a barbie doll Jesus, you just can't help laughing).
Smiles,
Joyful
*DISCLAMER: I IN NO WAY WHATOSOEVER SUPPORT OR ENDORSE WAL*MART IN ANY WAY. IN FACT I REALLY DON'T LIKE HOW THEY GET ALL THEIR PRODUCTS FROM OVERSEAS. I WENT THERE BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAP, AND MY MOM WAS DRIVING.
*DISCLAMER II: MY BROTHER WANTED SOME CREDIT FOR THE TITLE. HE DID COME UP WITH IT. SO THERE YOU GO PSYMON, YOU GOT SOME CREDIT.

Ice Cream Sunday
Hello Everyone.
You just have to love summer. I think summer officially started on Friday so...Hooray!
This afternoon me and my brother enjoyed ice cream sundays. It was way fun. And we sat outside, its beautiful. Mid 80s with a light breeze, and sunshine. I love it! This is what summer is all about.
Anyway, I'm off to my church's teen service. But i will definitely check in with you all later.

Home Sweet Home
I'm Home. Yea!
Being away from home makes you apreciate a lot of things. Here are the things I now appreciate after being in Las Vegas with my Mom and Nana for a (almost) a week.
*Boise no longer feels hot with its 80 degree weather. Las Vegas at 106 makes boise look (and feel) AMAZING!
*Boise looks very green compared to the desert landscape of Las Vegas. I was driving down the street this morning going, 'Wow, i didn't realize we had so much green!'.
*My bed is softer than ever. Well, i slept on a pull out sofa, and the mattress' on those are never great, makes mine look even better.
*My room has a door so that when my mom and Nana get up (they are early risers, I'm not), my door can be closed and i won't hear them making tea and whatever they do that early in the morning.
*I have a computer that i don't have to wait in line for. The hotel business center was busy, and you had to wait in a long line, my computer you just have to sign on.
*I get to see my brother and Dad, Oh and my dog. I love my family.
Enjoy you're home sweet home. (and if you don't, i suggest you go out of town for a few days, you'll come back and look at things with a whole new perspective.)

Update from Vegas
Hello Everyone.
Day one at the National Tournament. Boy part of me wants to tell you how many people there are here, because its huge, but part of me wants to tell you its just like every other tournament I've attended back home in Idaho. So I won't tell you about either :P. Hee Hee.
OH I know I'll tell you about how specific the rules are here. Its crazy. So we are split up into 45 different sections and then theres about five people in each section, but they can't just write names in order, no that would be too simple. Instead they give us crazy numbers like U890 and U345. And they expect you to remember it! When its your turn (After you've spent forever looking for your stupid number) you go up to the counter with your number and draw three questions. You have to keep one and lay the other two face down. Now here's the kicker: You have to say in this order your section number, your code number, and the number on the question.
Now try to remember there are 45 of us all trying to do this at the same time. "25, U894, B2" "39, U332, C7" "3, U132, A1" It was really crazy. And if you don't do it that order they have full rights to yell at you. YIKES!
I did four speeches today. Here were my category areas:
1. Education and Issues of Youth
2. American Politics (MY FAVORITE!!)
3. Environment and Sciences
4. The Wars
I did pretty good. I have two more speeches tomorrow, and then I find out if I will go on.
I'm off to bed, giving four speeches is exhausting!
