Chinese Parade Prince

My family went to China today! We were all there watching a parade and a royal cart came by and a bunch of princes got out and picked a girl from the crowd. I was chosen by one of them. he put his arm around my waist and guided me back to his cart. I was flattered but didn't want to go. The parade kept moving and I sat weirdly next to my prince. All the others were holding hands and cuddling with the girl they chose but I had no interest. I finally said "You didn't even ask me if I wanted to come." He looked shocked and motioned something and the whole parade stopped. I got out of the card and there were tons of flashes form reporters and I ran into a building while the prince picked a giggly Chinese girl and went back into his cart and the parade started again. I left the building and ran up a huge hill to find my family. I saw Sarah first and got into a chair by her and said "I didn't want to go with him." and she said " Too bad, I can't even write about this for the newspaper!"

Eli's booth

Eli was at a school event in the park. All the kids set up booths with games and stuff. His station was gift wrapping, but if nobody had gifts he would build custom shelves for you. There weren't many people at his booth, but he still looked happy.

Blog stalker and Fitness Dad

Lucas and I were hanging out with Mike and Katie Unger. Eventually Lucas left and I was surprised how awkward it was hanging out with them. We didn't have much to talk about and kept walking around the house trying to find things to do. I had nothing to say so I would mention Katie's food blog and realized I sounded obsessed with it. I just have a good memory. Mike and I found a hole under the house where my dad built a cave and trained for P90X competitions. He was really skinny but he had a vertical C-Section scar that confused me. I mentioned Katie's tattoo and she got mad that I "outed" it because Mike's family didn't approve. It was so weird so I pretended to fall asleep on the stairs.

Lucas and Crystal

I went to a get together with Crystal Marshall and while talking to her I discovered that she and Lucas had previously dated and it was pretty serious. I knew that she hinted at it but i could not get her to confirm or deny it. I walked behind her while she bought a salad at a salad bar and said " You know everything about when I dated YOUR husband..." and she just changed the subject. I was surprised and shocked that Lucas had not told me about dating Crystal, and I just wanted to hear about it. Nobody would tell me anything so, I went to get a casserole. I made one and took it to a party. They put it in the oven and nobody ate it because they all just anted homemade pizza. Julie Thorne was there and was really nice to me.

Dead birds

There were tiny dead birds all over our room today. Moose ate a dead mouse and spit it out on our bed. I showed them to Lucas.

(Lucas said I actually did wake him up and point to all the "dead birds" and pointed around the room)

Puppies

Zuri was destroying all of our stuff while we slept and Moose was sad.

Stephanie weight issues

Stephanie Druva got really chubby. her mom kept making her tell me what she weighed when she was skinny. I looked in my journal to see what I weighted at the same age but I had never written it down.
