6/28 and 6/29

Today I was planning to go out on the boat with Dad but I forgot to turn on my alarm, so I didn't wake up till 9 or so and dad was long gone on the boat. When I woke up no one was home.  Esther and Mom were at the swim meet.  So I watched a few tv show.  Then everyone arrived home around noon or so.  A few days ago, I decided to make some apple bread.  It turned out really well.  Everyone seems to like it.  I enjoy cooking.  I think I will continue to do more of it this summer.  At around 5:30 dad and I headed to DC to watch some Major League Ultimate Frisbee.  This is the second game that we went to.  The DC team is really good.  They lost one game in the regular season.  This game was the east coast championship.  They played the Boston team.  The game was really close.  At half time DC was trailing 12-10.  With 30 seconds left in the last quarter the game was tied 17-17.  DC ended up scoring and won the game 18-17.  They will be going to the championship.  They are playing the Vancouver Nighthawks on July 19th.  The game is in Philadelphia however so we won't be going.

Today I didn't really do anything.  I woke up around 10:30 or so and came downstairs to get some breakfast.  Then I played some games on the computer.  Then I went upstairs and listened to music.  I ended up falling asleep again and taking a nap.  I woke up again around 3 or so.  I might be going out with some friends tonight.  Then I played some guitar.  I learned some new songs and wrote a little piece of a new song.  I am getting pretty good at guitar.  I really like it.  I am considering saving up for an electric guitar with my summer earnings.

6/26

Today Esther and Mom woke up early and went to the Washington Monument.  They said it was fun.  They invited me to come but I decided to abstain.  I wanted to watch the U.S versus Germany game.  They left at ten thirty but the game didn't start till noon.  I woke up around ten or so. They were getting ready to leave to I got myself breakfast.  I had a bowl of cereal.  I almost always have the same thing for breakfast.  I either have a bowl of cereal or a bagel.  After that I went on the computer and played some games for a while.  Around 1l:45 I decided to turn on the game.  I watched the whole game.  It was a very good game.  The U.S lost 1-0 however we are still moving on because Portugal beat Ghana 2-1.  We ended up tying in points with Portugal but we had a larger goal differential in the tournament so far so we are moving on to the round of 16.  The U.S's next game is on Tuesday against Belgium.  Belgium is a very good team so it'll be interesting to see if the U.S can keep up this run. After the game was over Mom and Esther got home.  Other then that it was a relaxing day.

Pretty boring day

Yesterday we didn't do very much.  Esther woke me up around 10:30 to say that we going to go to the mall when Mom got back from Sunrise.  So I started getting ready to go to the mall.  I needed to get some new shorts.  So when Mom got back we headed to the mall.  Esther wanted to use some her gift cards from her birthday.  I also picked out two more pairs of shorts for the summer.  Then we headed home.  We just hung around home for the rest of the day.  I am planning to go to the library or Barnes and Nobles tomorrow to pick out a book or two for our drive to Massachusetts next Friday.  I don't have any books in mind but I will probably find something.  Esther, Mom and Esther's friend are going to take a tour of the Washington Monument tomorrow.  They invited me to go but I want to stay home and watch the U.S Germany World Cup Game.  I think it will be a very good game. The U.S has to draw or tie to move on.  If they lose Portugal has to beat Ghana by one point for the U.S to move on.  The World Cup has been very good this year so far.  It is going to be interesting to see how things play out.

Mom's Birthday

Today we celebrated Mom's birthday.  Her birthday was actually yesterday but we were all very busy so we decided to celebrate today.  We opened her presents.  I got her a new lamp for her room because her other one broke.  Dad got her a new charcoal grill! I am looking forward to trying out the grill.  We haven't had a grill to use for a very long time.  I have previously really enjoyed grilling.  For dinner, Mom wanted to try out this place called Artie's.  It was VERY good.  I got blue crab fritters for appetizer, smoked salmon for the appetizer and banana cream pudding for dessert.  The banana cream pudding was extremely good.  I want to go back just for the banana pudding again.

First day

Today was a pretty boring today.  I woke up around 9:30 and relaxed all morning.  I caught up on a few of the shows I've been watching.  Later, Esther wanted to go pick out some frames for her glasses.  I decided to go across the street to Best Buy to pick up some new ear buds for my phone.  I don't listen to music on my phone very much anymore though.  I have gotten a large collection of vinyl records over the past year of so and I prefer to listen to those.  After we got home, I made some ravioli for lunch.  This summer I want to do some more cooking and baking.  I would really like to learn how to make homemade pasta some time this summer.  Over all it was a pretty relaxing first day of summer.
