Writing Help!!!

This year for co-op I am taking a writing class and I need your help... I have to write a 5 paragraph descriptive essay on 3 key principles of "Monsters, Inc" that make up its morals. (And it can't be written in 1st or 3rd person) I haven't seen the movie in a really long time and was wondering if anyone knows what the moral of the movie is?

SSD 09

A few weeks ago the senior class of WCA came together with one thing on our mind....

Senior skip day 2009!

The next step was telling the senior class of 2007 about our plans and seeing if they would be able to attend the festivities with us. After a lot of thought it was decided that we would sneak out of school on Friday, February 13, 2009. We would start the day out by driving out to the $2.50 movie theater and see "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and "He's just not that into you". Both were really good movies. Definitely seeing again. When the movies were over around 6-ish we drove to "P.F. Chang's China Bistro". We called at 4 to try and reserve a table but they were already filled. Instead we placed our order to go. While in the area we decided to get some cheesecake from "The Cheesecake Factory". There was no room to get through the doors, it was so crowded! Drove back home just in time, right before the teacher noticed our absence. Slid right into my desk (bed) in just enough time to prevent detection. And that is the adventures of SSD 2009.(As much as I wanted to I couldn't have posted this any sooner the teachers are still suspicious of what really happened to the Senior that day.... They will never know :)

For the readers....

I had to change the background for school. As a part of my computer class. But I didn't have to write any post.

Lots have been going on. Co-op has started back and I am in 2 classes this year. Writing and Yearbook. They have both been really fun!

Our Church has just started puppets for the younger Sunday School classes. This Sunday will be my first week. It is going to be fun I hope : )

This Sunday I am also going to a Super Bowl party.

We are going to see Nik today. I might be going to work today as long as the roads clear up some.

Last Sunday we had "SNAC" it was so much super fun!!! We ate and then we just hung out. It was so funny when I walked in everyone had there cell phones out texting, blue toothing or using someone elses phone. But they weren't texting people out side the room. They were texting each other. They just didn't want the people around them to know what they were saying!

That's all I can think of right now. I will post more later. Hopefully soon :)

Love Shelbi

I am back.....

But who knows for how long :)

I am back to the blogging world! These pass 2 months (or so :) Have been great!

Back in November I went down to UK and AL's house for 2 and 1/2 weeks! It was so much fun! We shopped a lot! There was also party's to go to, college classes to attend, guns to be shot, nails and hair appointments to go to, art shows to attend and city's to see!! I had so much fun!!! I have to say that those were the best weeks in November I had this year :) Thanks again for letting me go down there!!!

Thursday was co-op ~ like every week we had book club and then I helped out in the capital class, but half way thought that class I had to go buy us something for lunch. We didn't have time that morning to get anything ready. At 12 we left the church and made our way to a place just down the street to take pictures using our pin hole cameras. That night I went to see "Max Payne" at the drive-in with some friends.

On Friday I went to see "high school musical 3" with some other friends. I didn't really like the movie that much. But everyone else liked it. Homecoming was that night. 2 other friends and I went to watch. We were winning 36 to 6 when we left 5 minutes before the last of quarter. Made our way back to their house. When we were back at her house we made ice cream sundaes and watched the movie "Iron Man"

Saturday was spent cleaning a house, then coming home to eat and then out to the barn. The youth were having a fundraiser and to get things paid for this summer (Misson trip, SOAR, and any other things we might do) we have to help with as many fundraisers as we can. This one was a BBQ meal and then there was a Skeet shooting contest. The first round was fun to watch. Then they started the 2nd round, then there was a 3rd and 4th one I think. I left in the middle of the 2nd round.

Sunday was busy also, started out with Sunday school, then Big Church, then home for lunch, Youth at 5, GMA's at 6 and then there was choir practice. Back at home around 8 or 8:30.
