Show Me the Money

It is a little strange seeing all my class mates get jobs. It seems like everyone it working at Chik-fil-A or Kroger. People have tried to get into working at Brusters, but it hasn't worked out for anybody so far. Even though I am still "underage" I have managed to snag myself a most excellent baby sitting job for a 3rd grader, Katie. It pays well and I get to play Barbies and Toon Town with her the entire time. She loves having me baby sit because she's an only child and when I baby sit that means Claire gets to come up too, and she likes that I play with her rather than watching TV or doing my own thing the entire time. Even though track gets in the way of me having a regular baby sitting job with them, I still can work every now and then on the weekends. Last weekend I made $67 because I baby sat for them, at night and they came back an hour later than they planned, and then, Katie asked them to leave the next day so I could babysit. For the most part I have a fun time, but lately, people have been asking me what I'm going to do with all this extra money... Well, it is not exactly enough to help pay towards college, so I think that I am going to pay $100 to my dad to get a cell phone plan for one year because I have been noticing more and more that I need/want one. So, I am pretty much enjoying my new "job" I have, it is good to have that little extra money, even if it isn't a regular amount!

Title Reference

The name of my blog is a little confusing, but that is the name "Xelly" is supposed to be like "Kelly" only it begins with an X for "cross". Chronicle begins with a C standing for Country. XC= cross country. A little weird, but it is a temporary name until I find a better one.

Also "Will milk be provided?" is from The Breakfast Club. It is a frequently used quote at my school. Nobody is really quite sure how it got started, but I think I know if ya'll want to hear it, it's an interesting story.
