It was a very good shopping trip! I ordered the quilt and the lamp online. I saved $5 with a promo code, and got free shipping from Home Depot. Walmart doesn't have good promo codes, but their shipping fees are very low.
Today I went to see Mackenzie audition. There is a venue nearby that has great shows in the summer, and they audition teens to be the opening acts for their artists. It's a great program for teens. Mackenzie performed there last summer.
She was very upset because today's performance was not as good as she wanted. Then, the girl after her was terrific! She is used to being the star!
I feel bad for her. These young teen years can be difficult. She isn't part of the popular crowd outside of school, although she is friends with them in school. I don't think she has the know how to negotiate herself into a tight crowd. There is a lot of phoniness and sucking up involved until you are accepted, and then there is the back stabbing once you are in. I don't think she even wants to do all of that. Then, she has liked 2 different boys who live on her block, and they are not interested in her.
I know she will find her niche, but it still hurts my heart to see her struggling. Kassidy has no such problems, and is on her second boyfriend. This only makes matters worse for Mackenzie, although she is happy for Kass. She just doesn't understand how Kassidy does it.
Brandon, on the other hand, cares about wrestling. He is so cute!
