my poor sister!!!

my poor sister had to go to the ER!!! Mary. Mary had to go get stitches. what happened was she was ridding her bike super fast, on a bike bath, to meet up with a friend at a coffee house. her handlebars were loose, and as she sped along, they came off! she flew through the air, and landed on her chin and shoulder. her chin split open, and she started to bleed allot. luckily a man driving on the side of the road saw her, and called Ben, and the ER. so now she is at home, all drugged up. pray that she'll be OK, please.

did you hear?

did you hear about the dyslexic devil worshipper? he sold his soul to Santa.

hahahahalarious!!!

i read this somewhere, and thought it was kind of funny...
-gays invented sports. think about it: boxing. two shirtless men, fighting over a belt!
:D

home again home again jiggedy jig

trusty is the luckiest dog i know of. last time we tried to get rid of trusty, we gave him away to a lady who loves dachsunds, but her husband gave her a puppy for christmas, she had to give him back. today, we took him to the pound. we pulled into the parking lot at 4:07. it closed at four. so trusty is still with us, but wont be for much longer.

vacations

are any of you going away for labor day weekend?

parties

louisa invited me to a high school musical 2 party tonight, and my sister and i went. you have to understand something about me, i love to stay in my house, in my room- i do not like going places. i am very glad that my family rarely takes vacation, because i dont like going, i dont even like going out to dinner!
this party was no different, i did not want to go. my mom this summer has been on the war path. she wants me to go out more, and she also wants me to meet all the boys from my church ( the whole opc) this was all started when my sister got engaged(thanks, heather). at this party were people that i liked, but not people that i knew well enough to really talk to and have a good time.
so the party wasnt all that fun for me, but the movie was hilarious! with about 12 girls, who all think that Zac Efron is the hottest 'man' alive, and are copying every thing he does, it can be pretty funny. louisa is the most die hard fan that i know of. she bought a new tv for this party! she loves this movie.
that is what i did tonight, i didnt expect to have much fun, and at first it wasnt, but then, durring and after the movie, it turned out ok.

oh, and jenny woo was there. i wish cathy had been, then it would have been a blast.

birthday

do any of you have a suggestion for what i could do for my bday? i dont want anything fancy or formal. maybe something like a day at the beach, or i dont know, i dont have any fun ideas.

DANG IT!!!

dang, dang, dang it!!! my birthday is in 2 and a half weeks. that means school is starting soon. my birthday is right at the wrong time of year. hahaha, at least it isnt durring the school year, then danielle might plan something to get me back for the idea of taping embarassing pictures on her locker. :P
actually, i kind of like when my bday is, sometimes. it keeps me happy at the end of the summer, when i'd otherwise be depressed. instead of dreading school comming, i lok forward to my birthday. :/

spare time

if you think your families are weird, take a look at ours. i saw this video clip online, and it is EXACTLY what us herrema kids are always doing with each other. i find it quite hilarious. i believe i was describing this "movie" to you, danielle.

reassurance

i was reading a devotional book the other day, and the section was about satan's temptations. it really impressed me. here it is. i'm going from memory, bc it is one of those 'a page a day' type devotionals, so i couldn't find it again. it went something like: many Christians think that they are the worst, that they are the worst, bc satan is always tempting them. it went on to talk about how if the church is growing, satan tries to divide it, or if a person is comming closer to God, he tries to distract them with worldly things. here is the reassurance part, it said, that these asaults by satan are a cause for joy! the assure us that we are getting closer to God, and that he is trying to stop us from doing so. i just thought it was awesome that someone thought- satan's temptations can be a reassurance, instead of a reason to doubt, and be troubled.i love you guys

today

today was exciting in some ways, and borring in others. i woike up at about 8:30 and went and washed my hair. after that, my mom went to southcostplaza with my grandma, and the cleaning ladies came. i hate being here when they are. first off, i fell like a lazy bump, bc they are working. secondly, if im hungry i hate going in to the kitchen, bc they always clean the kitchen first. so i walked to jambajuice and ordered a razzmatazz, and then i walked down to the pet store, where i bought two helpless little mice to feed my snake. i walked home, fed my snake, got a book, and walked over to my grandparents house. my grandma was with my mom and my grandpa is fishing somewhere. over there i sat and held the little kittens. they are a week old today! they are so cute. they probably way .5 a pound each! there are 2 black ones, and one siamese! it is so weird that they had a "siamese" kitten, when both parents are completely black! so i the nread and walked back home about three or four hours later. then my mom comes home, and she has my favorite food ever! a loaf of soft bread from southcost. i love bread, and it was soft, and we had saltless butter! so that was my day... how wer yours?
