Apologies and Excuses

Well, I must apologize, dear readers. I set out on this blogathon fulling intending to write every day, and what do I do? I skip not one, but two days in a row! This is clearly unacceptable, except perhaps I have some very good excuses.

Excuse #1 - Friday
6:00ish AM I wake up and get ready for my day.
7:30ish AM I go to school.
8:00ish AM I arrive at school, immediately go to the computer lab, and finish a paper that's due at noon. NOTE: I do not get online.
9:00 AM I meet with my choir director.
9:50 AM Nick and I practice our half of the 8-handed, 2-pianoed, "Stars and Stripes Forever."
10:00 AM Amy, Annie, Nick, and I practice the whole shebang. We decide it is awesome.
10:45ish AM We stop so we ladies can change for pictures.
11:00 AM We get our picture taken and sing a little.
11:45 AM I change, put stuff in my car, grab my lunch, and go to class.
12:00 PM I go to my English class, where Club Sandwich Boy does nothing funny, at least while I'm there.
1:00 PM I go to work. We are exceedingly busy, so I don't have time to look at stuff on the Internet as I do occasionally.
6:00 PM Work finishes, and Annie and I go to a wedding reception.
7:00 PM We leave the wedding reception, change, and eat food.
8:15 PM We meet our friend Julie and go to a party.
12:00ish AM I go home.
12:30ish AM I arrive home, see my sister on the computer, decide to get ready for bed, decide I'm too tired to write tonight and will write two posts tomorrow, and go to bed.

Excuse #2 - Saturday
7:30 AM I wake up and get ready for my day.
8:40 AM I go to work. I notice my car is making funny noises.
9:00 AM I arrive at work, and get cracking.
1:00 PM I begin to drive home. My car is making funny noises, idling high, and the check engine light is coming on. I decide to stop by my mechanic, since it is on the way home. He tells me I can leave the car there, but they probably won't get to it until Monday. I call my mom to see if she will pick me up.
1:45ish PM My mom arrives. We go run some errands before we go home.
2:30ish PM We arrive home. I do homework.
5:00 PM I stop doing homework to wait for my friend to pick me up.
5:30 PM My friend arrives. We go to her apartment so she can change and pick up her roommate, and then go to Annie's house to get Annie and Julie.
7:00ish PM We go to a play. Julie receives a phone call from a guy who is answering a question raised while they played Celestial Pursuit. On a date. A WEEK AGO!! We are vastly amused.
7:30 PM The play begins. It is hilarious, and features a very attractive prince. I develop a migraine.
10:00ish PM The play ends. We decide to eat food. We flirt with our very attentive waiter. I eat a little, but not much, thanks to ye olde migraine.
11:30ish PM We leave and drop Annie and Julie off at Annie's house. Then we drop off the roommate. Then I go home. I feel immensely sick.
12:30ish PM I go inside, put my leftovers in the fridge, and go directly to bed to prevent throwing up. I do not write two blogs, I do not change into my jammies, I do not brush my teeth, I do not pass GO and collect $200.
2:30 AM I wake up and realize I'm still in my clothes. I change and go back to bed.

Are these good enough excuses? Probably not. But they're the best I have. So, in compensation, I have written three posts today. Enjoy.
