I kind of cheated, though. I was planning on wearing my slacks that I wear for work, but they got messy because I worked the night before. ( I work at a movie theater and cleaning those concession machines are no joke!) So instead, I decided to just suit up halfway. I wore jeans and a t-shirt and then threw a blazer on. Hey, at least I tried!
The biggest part of my day was definitely the Chile miner rescue, though! I'm so happy that CNN had live coverage of it! I loved getting to clap and cheer with the miners and their families. I mean that literally. I was actually sitting in my living room clapping and cheering. And that's not even the best part. After the 33rd miner came to the surface my mom and I ran out to the front porch and shouted "Chi! Chi! Chi! Le! Le! Le!" Haha. Luckily, our neighbors are all silent hermits that never come outside so I doubt anyone heard us. I couldn't imagine being stuck half a mile under the surface for 69 days! It's truly a modern miracle that they all came out safely after all that time. I vote that this day, October 13th, be declared a national holiday: Miner Appreciation Day! Now if only I could find some miners in America to appreciate. If there are any miners reading this post right now, know that I am very thankful for all of your efforts. Oh, no wait. It's actually October 14th now. Well, know that I appreciated you ten minutes ago.
Have you ever noticed how awesome the song "Footloose" is? Oh! And "Red, Red Wine"! They both just came on and I am feelin' the groove!
Going to bed now! I need to think of a better sign off for the future. I'll keep you updated. Goodnight!

Note to self: Never use the phrase "feelin' the groove" again. Ever. And "Another One Bites the Dust" is an awesome song too.
