Hamburgers at Hannah's

After spending the day at the pool with Claire, Hannah, and Hannah's brother who's Claire's age, Zach, Hannah had me over for hamburgers at her house. We also had fruit with it. Then, we went outside to jump on the trampoline with Zach.

They taught me a game called fish out of water where you run around and find something to be on so your feet are not on the ground. For an example, you could stand on a rock, or you could sit somewhere but your feet couldn't be on the ground while you sat there. If the person who's it calls fish out of water and you're touching the ground, you're it. I was it every other time until her other 2 brothers joined us. :)

Then we went inside to make milk shakes. Hannah had some Starbucks coffee left over from the morning so we made coffee shakes. mmmm... who needs Starbucks?

We had 2 other people over and played kick the can. I didn't know this game either. We had a jail (their trampoline) and had a can outside of it. What you do is go and hide while the person who is it counts. They go and tag people who then have to go the jail. In order to free the people, somebody who has not been captured has to go kick the can. The people who were in the jail have ten seconds to escape, but the person who kicked the can can be tagged.

It was prestty fun and we played for a couple hours.

Then when everyone had to leave, we went inside and try to play this Star Wars game on their XBOX. Hannah rarely plays on it and I had no idea how to work the controls. But it was funny nevertheless.

I went home at 11.

Chinese Takeout

It was a long day after Claire's soccer tournament and we had to rush home to get to 6:00 mass. Claire had told Dad she was in the mood for Chinese. So, when we came back from church, we ordered takeout from Mah Jongs. everybody ordered one dish and we shared. My mom got this vegetable thing with eggs, i got sweet and sour chicken (YUM!), Claire got sesame chicken, and my dad got this black pepper shrimp (which he turned out to be allergic to). I had everything except for the shrimp because I hate spicy food. It was all delicious and I ate a ton! Mah Jong's is great!

iSkin

Did my research, and from what I can tell the duo iSkin seems to be the best option for my iPod nano's case. It comes with a belt clip which you can take on and off and has a hard plastic screen cover which is optional.

Checked the reviews, all 5 stars except for one person who put 4 stars and didn't even state any problems.

The other thing I wanted to go with was the Incase Neoprene Sleeve, but the plastics sticks to the scren and scratches it. some people said that was no problem for them, but I think the humid air in Georgia would make it a problem for me. ( I saw this one at Target, it has a flexible plastic covering).

Also, the nano tubes are neat, but they provide no screen protection and I don't want to have to buy 5, that's a waste.

So, I think either the iSkin or a nice, expensive leather pouch would be great. Just kidding about the leather.

A A A A A A Nano

I just got my report card... and I got straight A's! This is my first time in middle school... and last. I had 3 more dollars left to have my half to buy an iPod Nano, but because of my report card, my dad's going to pay the other 3 dollars as my gift. Tonight we are going out to find a black nano!
