193. May 3: I attended a baby shower.
This one is kind of a cop-out, since it was at my house for my cousin, but it still counts. I've only ever been to bridal shower, in terms of showers. If I've ever been to a baby shower, I wouldn't know it, and I don't remember. It was nice and quaint, and dainty, I suppose. Just ladies. I didn't exactly excel at the games like I thought I might. So...that was disappointing. There were good desserts though. Anyway, there's not a whole lot to say about that. I think I prefer bridal showers. They're more exciting.

ALL IN ZE BOX
192. May 2: I had my last piano recital.
This is also not what I wanted to do for this day, but I got busy later on, and it slipped my mind to do anything more legit. Emily had suggested this one when we were originally making my list, but I figured I'd just do something else this day. Oh well. I played Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, sans the Ballad of Brenda and Eddie. It was still nine pages though, don't worry. I didn't end up using the music though, which was a risky choice, but it was impossible to read that far across. I hated the piano I had to play on, it was not broken in enough, unlike the one at home you can just pound on. So it sounded a little muffled, and it was too fast, and I was too nervous, but I think it could have been worse, so I'll be thankful for that. Now, I need to learn the whole songs, plus my favorites from that book.
And SPEAKING of Billy Joel, I finally got Billy Joel and Elton John tickets! Tuesday, May 5th, at the Excel. I'm so excited, especially since it will be after my AP Stat Exam, I'll just be able to unwind. Too bad this is production week for newspaper, I would really be able to enjoy myself. I'm so very very excited. I'm not sure who I'm more excited about, because Billy Joel is my favorite ever, and of the two as well, but I love me some Reg, and I've never seen him before in concert. I'm beside myself. They had better have great concert t-shirts.

The Entertainer
191. May 1: I ate Le Cordon Bleu.
Obv not the one in France...the one out here in the suburbs. We had a french field trip out there for a three-course meal. It was so delicious. I think I was the only one at our table of eight to clean my plate thoroughly after each course. Although, let's be honest I was with some pretty picky eaters. For the first course we has a spinach salad with oil dressing over sauteed onions, diced tomatos, bleu cheese, and thick crispy bacon bits. It all went so well together, it was great, even though I don't like onions or tomatos, I thought I'd give it a shot, the chef knows what he's doing putting all these ingredients together. The second course was mediterranean herbed roasted chicken over polenta, ratatouille, and a butter herb sauce. It was so good, I wiped my plate clean. Then we had chocolate peanut butter mousse with citrus coulis for dessert. And we had little petit fours in between. There was a little baclava, lemon bar, cookie, trifle of sorts, and a couple of other things. I highly suggest anyone who likes french food to go there, it was so good. I think they just take people, or groups. At least there was this woman by herself, so I think it's kind of an open restaurant type thing.
This is the day that we installed our new iMac as well. It's soooo nice, I love it. I'm used to having a pc, but I'll get used to this very quickly. I hate to brag, but we've never had the best of anything in terms of technology, so this is the one and only time I get to brag about something we have. The keyboard is tiny, so it's taken some adjusting to, especially since it's similar to laptop keyboards, which I'm not fond of, but it's very fun to type on now. It's also finally really great to watch Lost on, which was absolute crap before. Something got screwed up with my iTunes, but I'll probably be able to figure that out.

The Final Countdown
190. Apr. 29: I watched the HBO documentary, "Thin" about anorexia.
I just happened to watch this when our newspaper meeting went south. Believe me, this wasn't what I wanted for my new thing. I tried to balance a book on my chin, but let me tell you, that is a lot harder than you think! So, I'm gonna work hard on that, and save it for a rainy day. But anyway, this documentary was educational, even though I'd say I already know a fair bit about anorexia and eating disorders alike. But you never realize how much of an illness these things are, until you hear first hand what these women have to say. Because they think it's so attractive, they don't see how unhealthy it is. I can't imagine that being me. I love eating too much to ever get to that level. I'd much rather be healthy than super thin.

You could distinguish Miles from Coltrane
189. I explained the mechanics of 'that's what she said' to someone.
That someone was none other than Ms. Matera. We were talking about assigning editors in passing, and she quietly said "This is gonna be so hard" and I said "That's what she said." Well, Kayla and Molly thought it was pretty funny, but Ms. Matera had never really heard that joke before (I know, how is that possible?) We had to explain why it made sense, and why technically as females we shouldn't be able to use it, but we do anyway. It was a whole culture education session. I'm so happy to spread the love on the that's what she said front.

Bodies are where you find them
As I was Hula Hooping in front of the television, with Dudesie sitting there, I asked him how many push-ups he thought I could do. Like, non-girly man push-ups. He rolled his eyes and said 5, and I said I could do more, and then he challenged me to do ten. So I said I could do more than ten, and:
188. Apr. 27: I did more than ten real official push-ups.
More than ten meaning, 11, which still counts. What classifies as a real official push-up? Probably anything BUT the push-ups I did for my fitness test in gym Sophomore year, of which I think I did 24. I have little to no upper body strength, and I was very red afterward. Anybody who is not in shape, like myself, I challenge you to try it, because they are not easy at all.
So then I told Dudesie that after my 12-week plan is over, I'll do over 30 real push-ups. He doesn't really think i can do it, though. We'll see.

Inside Wants Out
187. Apr. 26: I am officially embarking on a "12-week plan"
Some of you, meaning probably only Emily, if even, might remember that I had this 12-week plan that I was going to do starting in the fall, and we can all guess how that panned out. I never mapped it out, and I kept putting it off for "another week." What is a 12-week plan you ask? I want to be in shape, and improve my quality of life. By my definition, getting in shape means I can run more than a mile at a time (at least) and have much better endurance overall. Quality of life to me means that I make better choices health wise, and I feel better all the time. I first started thinking about initiating this for myself when I was coming to the realization that I would probably collapse of exhaustion if I even attempted a 5k, or would not be able to complete my swim across and back the lake this year at the cabin. That was the fitness portion of my realization. Then I also realized my eating habits need to shape up after having 3 days of indulging in ice cream treats in a row (cone at Ben & Jerry's, medium Heath blizzard at DQ, Like it Cake Batter Ice Cream with Heath at Coldstone...). This, of course, was preceded by an equally indulgent weekend of terribly greasy foods: Chicken Strips and Fries at a Bar at Stout, Fried Chicken Bacon Swiss sandwich and Curly Fries at Arby's, Bacon Cheeseburger, Fries, and a whole Heath Malt at the Malt Shop, and an appetizer platter, steak, potatoes, and carrot cake at the Chanhassen. Take comfort in the fact that I'm sure your weekend didn't resemble mine, in any sense.
So, I'll reiterate, I don't think I'm fat by any stretch of the imagination, but being healthier would be much better for me, I'm sure. And c'mon, I'm a teenage girl, if I lose a few pounds, I won't complain.

In my Merlin Sleep
186. Apr. 25: I tried Tab soda.
Which is like the exact same thing as Coke, let me tell you. It has a little bit of a weirder flavor, so I don't think I would ever make the switch over, but it's a fair substitute. I like the can, too.

The Gentle Art of Listening
Much like yesterday, I don't like this one, and it's similar to one I've done before:
185. Apr. 24: I was the only person to show up to class.
Government. Nobody showed up to Government. It was just me and the Bergie Berr hanging out for awhile, and then I had to take a stupid pop quiz even though I was the ONLY one there. Such a cheap rip-off. I know for a fact 3 people were skipping class, and Mari was in Chicago, so she had a good excuse, but seriously people. No wonder everyone in that class is a lame excuse for a high school student. Seriously, I'm talking idiots.

Gentleman's Quarterly
Thursday is my busy day, and so as a result of not budgeting my free time wisely, my new thing ended up being:
184. Apr. 23: I payed to see a Zac Efron movie a second time.
And thoroughly enjoyed it. I have no idea why, I just totally love that movie. It weirds me out a bit, but I'm entitled to like crap, aren't I?

To thine ownself, be true
183. I wrote a movie review that was not for the Southerner.
My new thing tonight was going to be doing Tai Chi, but it got canceled, so I'm using this one. You all read it, unless you didn't, it was the 17 Again review. It actually didn't take as long as my Southerner ones, which usually take over an hour. Maybe there's something to that..

American History X
182. Apr. 21: I participated in Ben and Jerry's free cone day.
I tried this once before, but I got there too late, and no way am I paying for ice cream that I don't really want. So, I went again this year, and got my strawberry kiwi cone. I went with Jessica and Caroline, and they both got some sort of Chocolate Fudge Brownie flavor. I've decided that Ben and Jerry's is overrated, it's not THAT great. I def prefer Coldstone, or Dairy Queen.
I'd also like to mention that even though I don't usually use a whole lot of pictures anyway, I've been having some technical difficulties, so that's why there haven't been any lately.

Pour Vous
181. Apr. 20: I read fitness magazine.
Some people might have wanted me to get high on this day, because it was 4/20, but sorry, I did not.
I really like reading articles about fitness and nutrition, difficult as it may seem to believe, it's true. For some reason I never wanted to read it, but Caroline has a subscription so I took the newest copy, and read through it. It's pretty informative, I'd say. But not necessary to get the best health articles. There are more tid-bits in there than anything. If you want a good health article, read Glamour, they have a great health and fitness section.

9 1/2 Weeks
180. Apr. 19: I joined Twitter.
As soon as everyone started talking about Twitter, I just had no idea what it was. I still think it's really pointless, and like MySpace, if I weren't doing new things, I probably wouldn't have joined, but we'll see how well I end up liking it. My "page" I guess I don't really know what it's supposed to be called is twitter.com/AddieBelle. Follow me if you have one, but I can guarantee it won't be a whole lot of anything. So, we'll see if this catches on for me as much as Facebook and blogging. Celebrities seem to like it a whole lot. I'm convinced it's just a fad, but we'll see if I'm right.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
179. Apr. 18: I went to the Chanhassen Dinner Theater sans Dudesie.
To get this right out of the way, yes I did go twice in one week which I was really excited about. I didn't get a chance to see "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," and Emily went on another occasion, so Dudesie suggested I go with a group of my friends, so I took Jessica, Tianna, and Lizzie out there. They were pretty impressed with my hook-ups, I must say. I'm often impressed with myself. The show was good. I mean, well done, but I guess I'm not really a huge fan of that musical. All in all, fun experience, but I think I like going with Dudesie better, because I just feel much more VIP, if you will.

Seventeen Magazine
On the same day I went to Stout, I also went straight to Emily's school on my way back to the cities, and a couple of hours later, we went to go see 17 Again, which I surprised myself for actually wanting to see. Emily asked if I could write a review of it, even if it's not for the Southerner, and I said sure, so I'm gonna give my best go.

"17 Again" has many messages: 1. Don't get your girlfriend pregnant, 2. Be nice to the nerdy kid, 3. Zac Efron can apparently do something other than a musical, 4. And don't wait too long, or he'll turn into Matthew Perry (yeah right..)
Mike O'Donnell (Perry) has had to live his life like he never wanted. In a dead end job, getting a divorce, and barely knowing his kids. He get's thrown through some sort of time warp pool, and turns 17, again. Now, a young Mike (Efron) must pose as a new high school student, try to right all his wrongs with his wife (Leslie Mann), get to know his children, and in his spare time show off his killer basketball skills (Troy Bolton, anyone?)
The film relies heavily on comedy brought in by Mike's best friend, Ned (Thomas Lennon). Lennon steals every scene he's in, whether he's being over the top, or just standing there. And speaking of comedy, who know Zac Efron was funny? You did, if you watched him host "Saturday Night Live," but I now wonder if he suddenly lost the ability to sing and dance impecibly, he might be a perfect little comedic actor.
Now to put it simply, for what it is, it's an enjoyable film. Teenage comedies do not have to be directed well, or even be scripted well, which makes "17 Again" fit the bill. But as much as it is a pure Zac Efron guilty pleasure, it's a funny, enjoyable way to throw away your friday night, and to sit back and relax, knowing that dreamy Zac won't really turn into Matthew Perry. But one could only hope he'd still be as humorous.

This review may not reflect it, but I actually really liked it, surprising even myself. I thought it was funny, but it was kind of lame, and as I said, poorly directed. I think I'm seeing it again tomorrow night again. But there's a specific audience for it, as I'm sure you can gather, so know thine own self.

to who it may concern....
178. Apr. 17: I visited Stout for the first time.
You might be thinking I'm crazy for accepting admission at a school I've never even been to before, but it was a leap of faith, and I think it will probably pay off. It was a very nice campus, and I actually like the little main street right around the corner. The buildings are nicer than Eau Claire's, Menomonie is a nice place, there's a nice landscape, there are nice amenities, like a fitness center, which you have to pay for, but it's not terribly expensive, as well as many other things. I have a feeling it will work out pretty well.

All the King's Horses and All the King's Men
177. Apr. 16: I watched an episode of "The French Chef" with Julia Child.
She has a very commanding personality, and she does whatever she wants. I'm looking forward to Julie and Julia, because I want to know more about her. I, for instance, knew she was this famous chef who was really cool and stuff, but I didn't realize that she like invented the cooking show. Which, by the way, not as appealing in black and white. She was making a bouillabaisse and it did not look too delicious, the combination of fish shaz everywhere, and it being in black and white.
I also used a smartboard for the first time this day, but I decided to not make that one my new thing. They are really awesome though. I now have two classes that have them, and they're just really great, and I can tell teachers enjoy teaching more with them. Something to think about all you teachers out there...

176. Apr. 15: I ate a roast beef au jus sandwich.
It wasn't that great, I would never choose to have one just on my own, and it didn't look that appealing. If you like them, that's great, but I found out they're not for me.

SOUTHERNER
175. Apr. 14: I saw a play in the Fireside theater at Chanhassen Dinner Theaters.
I always thought that the mainstage was the only dinner theater among the bunch, but they have you eat beforehand, and then they usher you in to the theater- either the fireside or the playhouse. Always...Patsy Cline was showing, and I've never really listened to Patsy Cline, but from what I have heard, the woman who was playing her was truly spot on. If you like her, see it. I will mention that I was probably one of 5 people under the age of 50. It was a nice way to mix things up, I would go back and see other shows in the auxilary theaters again. But my heart belongs to the mainstage.
