CALL OUT THE TROOPS NOW IN A HURRY

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo yesterday I baked some more and made:

*The Pioneer Woman's sheet cake (http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/06/the_best_chocol/)

*Chocolate Chip cookies

*Corn Muffins (And to jazz it up, I added green food colouring)

And today is Smell's B-Day party and we did everything last-minute, as always. But they're in there doing games and such. I'm in here, doing blogging and such.

I'm able to do a lot of songs on the "Difficult" level on DDR. It's awesome. I didn't think I'd ever be able to do that. And now it takes a lot less time for me to get tired playing. DDR's my exercise for the day. I hate exercising for no purpose, like running and using exercise equipment, but if I'm doing something and getting exercise on the side, that's the kind of exercise I like: going on a bike ride to somewhere, DDR, going to the zoo (where you are walking around a lot) or other things like that. Exercising just to exercise feels like a waste of time to me, and I hate feeling like I've wasted time. Life's too short to waste time.

I also painted yesterday and the day before that; mini-paintings that look pretty cool. I painted this eye that mum said looked like a photo. I asked mum to come paint with me, and she said she couldn't paint well, and that she liked my style but it wasn't her style and she'd get disappointed when she couldn't paint well, but I told her to paint a dot and she painted this way awesome dot. I told her I wanted her to make a series of them. Mini-paintings rock.

Mum also told me that I was hard to read. When I get quiet, she said, she doesn't know if I'm sad or mad or what. That made me happy. I've always wished I could be unreadable/unpredictable. She said that it wasn't a good thing. 

On Thursday I swept the floor and then cleaned it with a sponge (instead of mopping it. Mopping is too messy and takes too long). It was fun.

Yesterday while I was baking and such and when I was cleaning on Thursday, I played music on my computer and it was fun. I was bouncing along, and mum was around and it was just cool. Everything's more fun when you play music. And when I clean and play music, it reminds me of when mum and da used to do spring cleaning at our house in Cali, because they always used to play music while they spring cleaned, and the smell of Murphy's Oil Soap also reminds me of spring cleaning.

I read my patriarchal blessing last night and it made me happy. Then I read scriptures, and that made me happy too. It's so cool how everything in the scriptures is connected, and how, at some point or another, it can be applied to our lives, and how it's all important, and it was all written for our benefit. It really is awesome. And there is definitely a difference between reading and studying scriptures.

In my dream last night, there was a man-eating worm. It was kinda freaky, actually.

That's all.
