My mom will be home any minute!! I'm so excited! Mary will be home in a minute with her! I'm so excited! i've been trying to find stuff to do before they get home, but I'm not patient enough. i keep running to the windows expecting them to be driving with my aunt down the hill to our house any minute!! argh! but they're not here yet. hm. oh well. i have so much to do. i locked my cupbord last night and i tried to open it this morning and it won't budge. my jewelry, tiffany's included, and all my scrapbooking stuff were in that cabinet. i'm hoping my mom can get it open. anyway, i got a french penpal yesterday. her name is lor. she's really cool. anyway, i have to go, i'll write back later.

I've been babysitting and babysitting all week long! but it's OK, because i think it'll be good for me for my upcoming highschool career. you know, it's taught me a lot of responsibility. anyway, i think katie came back yesterday and i want her to come sleepover. like today! my dad is back in town, and my mom is coming with mary soon. school starts the 25th ugh! but i'm kind of excited to start and see what it's like in upper school. i need to stop eating so much gosh darn it, or i won't be able to fit into any of my skirts! oh well. i was supposed to go to the orthodontist's today, but my babysitter (daytime) doesn't do much, and she never showed up, so i rescheduled it for tomorrow. we don't really know this girl either. she's my brother's friend's mom's nanny's daughter. riiiight. i saw lara craft- tomb raider 2 the cradle of life saturday, and it was pretty good. long, but good. it was actually really scary, i was kind of frightened in certain parts. ANYWAY! i'd better go. i have to move into my new room really soon because relatives are coming and all that jazz. catch you later

hee! i went to go see pirates of the caribbean again today, with antoinette, and were we SO swooning over johnny depp and orlando bloom, no i mean literally: we were falling out of our chairs melting with love. *sigh*
ANYWAY.... afterwards i went to antos house and we played pingpong, although it was NOT our championship round, it was just for fun. aaannddd i babysat all day and all yesterday and it totally sucks and mom and dad were like "remember this next time you think we don't do anything for you" and i'm thankful and all, but i haven't been paid anything for like a months work! this really DOES suck! well i'd better go.

something weird is chirping long and in shrills in our fire place, and i have no idea what it is....
today we came back to dallas, and it is worse than i expected. it's hot, and humid, its flat, and ugly, and not everyone is nice like in utah. we went to go see pirates of the caribbean with the whole fam and barbara. it was really good and it made me want to be a pirate. i had planned on visiting with, and saying goodbye to patterson, aka jamal, a really good friend of mine who will be leaving to go to east texas until december, and then is moving back to north carolina. but my mom decided that she didn't want to take two cars... ? so she made me stay home and babysit again...? why does she do this to me when i watched her kids for her in provo all the time? and i worked really reallly really hard to watch the kids? maybe she hates me or something... oh well
i miss margaret a lot, and i'm having a lot of trouble not having any peers to look up to. i'm very lonely and wish i had some pirate with a sexy goatee to comfort me, but i've got no one. NO ONE!
i hope katie gets home soon, because i want to do stuff, and i HAVE to go visit antoinette. life is killing me smalls.

So anyway, just ignore that developed post, i was just surprised. anyway, today is our last day to meet people, so we just had dinner with some of the old missionaries in our area. it was interesting. one was making me rather uncomfortable, but the other two were still hilarious. one was really shy when he first started, and met us riding his sister's mint green scooter. he's grown his hair long and now has this shaggy hair-do going on. the other one had glasses and high lights and he was laughing all over the place and giving lots of hugs. it was good all in all. but now i'm with the kids in the apartment with mehissa next door talking REALLY loudly on the phone and i'm babysitting which totally sucks. i pushed all day to go to the BYU bookstore so i could get this shirt i wanted, and then my mom didn't let me buy it when we finally went. that kind of upset me because i was going to watch the kids tonight and i watched them this morning and cleaned out a ton of heavy stuff from the car, and she didn't even let me get a shirt! oh well, i guess she has reasons or something. anyway i'd better get back. but to all my friends-- call me please! i'm coming home on wed. at 1:30 so we have to talk or hook up or something cause i'm gonna die from boredom!!
bye and see you soon,
Jules

ummm... my mom and dad are scared that i'm not "developed" enough for my age, and they're going to take me to the doctor and stuff... this is all weird for me...
hm, oh well, i have to go to bed and go to church tomorrow and do all these crazy things.

happy fourth of july!!!!

so i'm in my cousin trisha's house, and we're staying here until sunday i think. i went to phoenix for a family reunion, and that was really fun. but now i'm in Utah again, and i just finished looking through some scrapbooks. trisha, i just realized, is such an amazing person. all through jr. high school she got amazing grades, and all of her friends loved her, and she was so happy and cheerful. its like, almost everything she got in life, she put in these huge scrapbooks, and i wish that i had done that. so i think i'll start that sometime soon. she was so happy and she never seemed to be upset or anything!! geez! anyway, i'd better go. bye
