After a Long Day's Work...

...on Friday, under a heat advisory, I was in no mood to do anything but dive into the heavenly abyss that is my bed. I made my way into the house, and laying on the table right in front of me, just beckoning, pleading, for me to stray from my evening plans, was the latest TV Guide. As if the mere prospect of knowing what hours of television were in store for the next week wasn't enough, I took a gander at the cover, and guess who I saw?

That's right, you guessed it! (Okay, you probably didn't, but we'll give you the benefit of the doubt, alright?)

Anyway, on the cover, staring straight into my slowly closing eyes, was the cast of "High School Musical". I had the sudden urge to rip open the magazine and head for the exclusive article on HSM2. I fought it. I needed to run upstairs and get my nap on. I was stronger than the TV Guide. I could do it.

But then, I saw it.

Not only was this a High School Musical themed magazine, there was a disk on the cover. One closer look told me all I needed to know. This was no ordinary disk. No way. This was a CD with photos of the cast, clips from the movie, and, most importantly, instructions for me and my friends to dance along with our High School Musical pals on August 17th. Yeah, I forgot all about my desire for sleep. I had forgotten everything prior to this moment, because, after I learned those wicked awesome dance moves, my life would be complete.

I had the disk in my hands, but as I headed for the computer, I heard a voice. A voice calling, telling me something. I listened harder, and heard it tell me to....clean my room?? Oh, dear mother, you have no idea the agony you caused me, as I slipped the disk back into its protective pouch, saving the wicked awesome dance moves for another time in the near future. Then, and only then, will I be able to know true HSM-filled happiness.


((FYI: Creative license was used in this post...i.e. the tv guide was sitting on the seat of the car when my mom picked me up, she asked me to something, but maybe not clean my room, etc. But I like my version better. Way better.))

Stuck on School Supplies

Okay, so I might not be ready for school to start quite yet, but if there's one thing that gets me revved up for the new school year, it's organizational supplies. I went shopping, and I must say, I came home with some nice folders and such. First, I have to say that I don't use the traditional binders, as I prefer to use a file folder. So, that brings us to my first purchase:



I liked the file folder, because it's simple, and still pretty. I loved that the inside was pink, and I made pretty pink and blue labels for the dividers. After we found the file folder, I naturally flocked to the pocket folders, eventually deciding on the Dora the Explorer, Harry Potter, and Pirates of the Caribbean folders.



I also got Harry Potter pens, which just shows how awesome this school year is going to be.

What Time is it?

Ah, the first words to the first song uttered in the most anticipated Disney movie of all time.

"HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2"!

It's been a year and a half since HSM, and all of us fans have been eagerly awaiting the fateful day of August 17th. It's only a matter of time before we all start humming some of the catchiest songs of the summer. I, for one, am just as excited for the showing of HSM 1, the singalong version! I might be a nerd, but at least my friends are right there with me (we're having a HSM 2 party for the premiere).

So, until then, I'll just have to listen to my HSM Soudtrack, and drive my mother crazy with songs about bopping to the top, getting my head in the game, and knowing that we're all in this together. And never once being the least bit cliche.
