OOOOOpppppsssss..... Sorry.. Hey wait its not my fault.. I was just doing what I normally do!!! Flags, Raiders, PLT SGT duties, S-3 living in my house, and so much more I really dont have time to talk about everything ,but i will say I now have a Boyfriend (and its one thats not going to be a jerk and act like a complete idiot)
Plus today i tested a bunch of new perfumes in the store and now I am a multitude of different scents!!!

Ok,dont get snooty because I havent posted its been a long week....
First, lets attend Monday I had a barbeque for Labor Day and I had a bunch of friends over, ok not a bunch, just my Plt ldr (who treats me like his little sister), his GF,the S-3, his GF, and a some one I have known for 3 or 4 years now... It was a lot of fun, we played twister, ate some food, and watched tv... After that things kind of went bad when one of the people got kicked out of his house and got maced; a trip to the hospital for both him and my plt ldr and going to sleep at like 330 in the moring later I get up go to school and come home to the bsement all rearranged and the futon from my room moved downstairs, and now the S-3 si living in my basement which there is nothing wrong with that. Its going good so far and I think everything is going to be fine.
Well I have to go find stuff for dinner.
talk to you all later
peace out!

The first football game was last night, the team did pretty good they won 20-0. Maybe I should back up to that morning at practice....... I get there for Color Guard practice because the S-3 told me to,who had me excused from the flag squad in marching band for this, even if I wasnt in the Guard..... The XO was there to bring equipment and help the commander of this Color Guard out, she told "Jekyl"(that is his nickname he has a "partner in crime" known as "Hekyl") that I should do it because I was pulled out of flags, but "Jekyl" said that he was in charge of the color guard and that he picked who he wanted........ Fast forward to that night... I show up extremely early, in uniform, for the Color Guard just in case someone was very late, but as it turns out they all showed up on time so I go and pull the fastest change of uniform ever and meet the band for pregame right as they are about to march around the track and play the school song... All in all the Color Guard did well... Fast foward even more to after Halftime ( the show was pretty good) I catch Hekyl and Jekyl with their berets tucked up under their shoulder board and two extracurricular cords on, one on each shoulder, I shout down the stands to tell them to remove their berets from their shoulder boards but they refused, the S-3 tells them to remove 'em and they tell him that they dont care. So by this point, me and the S-3 give up and continue on with the evening.
Now its the end of the game everybody has left and we have fallen in for cleanup.... Each squad has their assignments of where to clean and are sent on their way. I get done what I need to go and help on the other side of the field to see what needs to be done over there... I partner up with a friend and we go up and down the bleachers with a bag between us and pick up all the garbage that people just threw around... we get to an area in between the band and student bleachers, where people claimed they cleaned and we found 3 pop bottles, 2 nacho trays, 4 other pieces of garbage, and there was people just standing around doing nothing. Afterwards the OIC generously gives us 2 hrs in community service and then dismisses us.. After cleanup me and a different friend go to the "block party" well actually it was a gathering of people and a couple people were trying to rap but did not know the words, and one band tryed to do AC/DC and was very high pitched.
I am going to scare everyone on Tuesday and wear a skirt, and I am going to wear it with the Puerto Rican fence climber shoes, just because I can!!!!
All for now. Peace, Love, and Shrimp Kabobs!!!!

I am a backup for the football Color Guard tonight. I am going to "love" watching the band from above.
According to a class of second graders all the ribbons and medals mean that you are in charge(it was cute!). The flag etiquette class went well, we showed the kids how to fold the flag properly and let them try and fold it, then we showed them how to raise the flag on a pole. Raiders went pretty good, we did an APFT and I didnt do so hot, according to the S-3 I passed the pushups and situps. The 2 mile run didnt go to good I thought that I did all 8 laps and got a 1620, but then again I might have counted laps wrong. Either way a 1620 isnt bad right?????
Well I have to get ready for a football game tonight.
See y'alls later
