No New News

Okay, so a lot of you guys have been begging me for a new post, so here it is! Okay, so we got some new music in band. They are really cool music and when we do a concert, we might get a CD of the music.
I got a letterman jacket for Christmas. It has my graduation year, my name and instrument, and a bear on it.

Also, I took a test on http://web.tickle.com/color/ these were my results:

Lauren, your true color is Orange!
You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolizes attraction. Orange is an extraordinary color — for an extraordinary person.

GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I MADE A 98 ON MY CHAPTER 8 MATH TEST!!!!!!!!!!

Putting up the tree today

We'll be putting up the Christmas tree today.

Small apartment + House-size tree = no room for presents!

This is what our tree looked like last year. See? Plenty of room for presents. (I love gift bags, don't you? Though, it seems that they take up more room than just wrapping the gift in a simple box.)

So, we purchased a "slim" tree yesterday. And . . . it's the first pre-lit tree we've ever had. I can't wait to bypass the whole untwist the lights, check the bulbs, wind the strands evenly around the branches, hide the plugs, etc. I'm sure many of you already have a pre-lit tree, but I gotta tell you, I'm even thrilled with the "foot action" light switch so that we don't have to dig around behind the tree to plug in the lights every night.

Hey, you can find small pleasures in just about every situation, right?
