Sunday: February 8, 2015

(Although I will be writing about yesterday
So this post is really about Feb.7,2015)

I woke up at 7:15 and dressed quickly before heading down stairs to eat two pieces of toast with Nutella and leaving the house with my mom at 7:45. We arrive at my friend's the Rennerfeldt's house. Piper's mom, Margaret, is my current dance teacher and her dad, Noel, was my Theatre teacher at Watauga. My mom and I pull up in their drive way and walk up to their front door and Margaret opens the door. We see Piper sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast, Noel casually on his computer and Illy roaming about.

My mom chitchat's with Piper's parents for about 10 minutes then she leaves and shortly after we do too. Noel sits in the driver's seat with Margaret in the passenger seat and then the three of us sit in the back with me behind Noel, Piper in the middle and Illy behind Margaret. We were driving to Nashville to set up a promotional booth in Cool Springs Mall for some summer-camp fair they were holding.

I had brought a framed photoshopped image that my friend Abi had made, a stamp block and the stamp on paper, a fish print, a journal, a packet on Debussy, and various other works I had from Watauga that I had either made or acquired. When we got there, we first set up the booth then Illy, Piper and I went to Starbucks and Illy got a hot Salted Caramel Frappuccino with a brownie, Piper got some bottled soda and I got a Venti Iced White Chocolate Mocha. Then we went back downstairs and sat at the booth until about 1 when we decided to go back upstairs to grab some lunch at the food court. At first I was wanting gyros, Piper chinese, and Illy burgers but then when we had walked over to "John's Burgers" to grab Illy's food, we got a sample of chicken and quickly decided to just eat there.

We ordered our food and chatted for about an hour and a half before returning downstairs to see Noel, Margaret, and Margaret's sister, Eva, sitting at the table. Since the fair was almost over, we packed up our things and us girl went with Eva to her house where we basically just sat and watched the first channel that came up on TV (Gymnastics/Skating Spectacular) and when the adults left to go eat we kind of just explored the huge house. There was a huge living room upstairs with a piano and art work all around, a massive kitchen with an island with 3 stools on each side, a big dining room with a long table and art work/cabinets around, then a hallway with an office, bedroom, bathroom, and random side room (where we watched TV). Then Piper took us to the basement where we saw a bar/kitchen area, living room, extra bedroom and bathroom, dining room, random storage rooms, a gym and a cool slot machine hooked up. We played on the slot machine until it was time to leave. On the ride home we were all pretty tired, in fact Illy slept in the car with her headphones in, Piper and I would say a random thing and have some discussion lasting about 3 minutes then end throughout the ride and the radio was on the 80s station.

They dropped me off at home around 6 and dinner was already made, a delicious roast and fries. My family and I ate dinner (since we have this rule that we must eat dinner together every single night) and talked about our days since we all had very different ones. My dad brought my brother to a band audition then they went out to eat and ran some errands, while my mom worked and I was at the Watauga advocating booth. I managed to squeeze in two hours worth of practice time today as well from about 9-11 then went to bed because I was just too tired.
