Today I woke up to my new alarm clock at 9:10 and my dad came into my room like, 1 minute later to try and wake me up. My mom and dad were going to church this morning, but Janell and I decided not to because we basically already go to church every day at Saxony. My dad told me a list of things to do so I went out to do them.
I went out and fed the cats but there wasn't much food out there so they didn't get too much. Then I went and let out the chickens. I didn't really think they would want to be out because it was sprinkling a bit, but they scrambled outside and were thriving in the rain. How odd. Then I added some wood to the wood stove even though the wood was wet. So those were my little chores.
Janell was still in bed this whole time so I kept trying to wake her up and she was getting pretty annoyed. My parents got back from church after 11:00. I don't remember what I ate for lunch, so it probably wasn't anything too special. We didn't really do anything else until around 2:00, which was when we left to go to town.
The first place we went in town was to Kohl's, but then Janell said she didn't want to go there, so we didn't. In the Kohl's parking lot we saw David and Pierce on their way to bring a washer and dryer back to Lowes. We talked to them for a couple minutes. Janell was being really annoying at this point because for some reason she kept talking about how I'd never get into a relationship. She always brings this stuff up.
Janell wanted to go to Barnes and Noble to get some stupid One Direction CDs so that's where we went next. I looked at some cool history books but decided I didn't want anything. After Barnes and Noble we went to Goodwill. Tanner Morehead was working in there, so that was a jump-scare. We didn't find anything cool in there.
Instead of going to any other stores, we decided to have a nice dinner. We went to Olive Garden and it was delicious. I got my favorite soup, Zuppa Tuscana, and Ravioli Carbonara, which I hadn't had before. Janell got some chicken tortellini stuff and my mom just had soup and salad. We got a 5 Cheese Ziti al Forno to-go for dad. So that was a great supper.
After that we were going to meet up with my dad, Molly, Daniel, Matthew, and Emma Molly at the Christmas parade. We found a spot outside of the Courtyard by Marriott where we were going to meet them. My mom went to get a coffee inside the hotel and apparently Mr. Duncan, my 5th grade teacher, works in there. Molly and the rest of them got there so they sat with us. Matthew was being an annoying combination of shy and annoying. Janell and I were trying to make Emma smile but he kept blocking her face. Also, Mariel's boyfriend's family was next to us apparently, and Mariel and her boyfriend showed up so they had to sit with us.
The actual parade was really fun. We were sort of near the end so not much candy was left, but we got a little bit. I stole some of Matthew's. Matthew called every car an ambulance and every Grinch a scarecrow. And there were a lot of Grinches because apparently that was the theme. There were firetrucks, police cars, random companies and clubs, businesses, tractors, and floats. I liked the Dalmatians the fire people had.
After the parade we went home and I ate some leftover breadsticks. I spent a lot of the night looking for things I want for Christmas on Amazon. It was so hard because I have no idea what I want. I found a few things though, so hopefully my mom will order them tomorrow on Cyber Monday.
I got ready for bed and ended up falling asleep with my lamp and everything still on. Today was a good day. 8/10.
