Sianna was supposed to audition for snare, for the drumline, today but was told that she needed to memorize the music first. So, she will be auditioning next week instead.

The marching band program really sucks this year. I say it's because of the retirement of Mr. Nakasone earlier this year. Sianna told me last night that there are only 78 students in marching band this season. That's a huge drop from 260. On top of that, another band director dropped out as well. I told Sianna she really needed to think about what she wants to do. It's either all 4 years or else she needs to get involved with sports and student government. She'll still stay in concert band, but for marching it's all or nothing.

I finally got a day off today from work. I've been working straight for over a week. I took the weekend off because of my pastry orders for Father's Day. I'll be making a whole lot more making pies and pastries than working the whole weekend at the job.

I am finally taking a vacation and it will be in October. October 11-25 to be exact. I will be heading out to New York (Long Island) first to visit, then it's off to the Big Island for some hiking. I can't wait. It's been way too long since I had a real vacation. I just bought my tickets the other day and I'm finalizing my itinerary.

Grad party plans are coming along. The mobile disco, slide show, and most of the food are already paid for. The favors, centerpieces, and card box will be taken care of by Chris' dad's family. Out of all the people invited, there was only 1 R.S.V.P. regret response. The original invitation list was at 200 people and I believe another 30 was added to it ... gee, thanks Chris ... no more people already! I'll be taking Chris clothes shopping next week to get his outfit for the party ... as well as mine ... I have no idea what I'll be wearing.

Anyway, it's late ... have a nice week!
