car wash!

Hi
So, you can probably guess what I'm writing about. Yup, we had a car wash on Saturday and it was totally fabulous! The day started out comfortably cool and NOT RAINING!!!! YAY! We arrived at the car wash and there were immediately customers. We set up our sign and my good "manager person" (that's what I've decided to call her because I think it encompasses basically everything she does) taught me the correct way to wave at a car wash. Let me tell you, this is not a pageant wave, parade wave, or swiveling princess wave. This is a frantically fast, arm killer that is as energetic as you can make it without jumping into the air and flying! Yes, my arm hurts! But thankfully I had friends to wave with me. We got a lot of cars!
I was so glad that all the volunteers came! we had plenty of people to wash/vacuum/scrub/blast with hoses etc. The day was quite a good time. I got pretty sun burnt unfortunately, but spent the afternoon in the garage with the blaster hose. It was a really awesome blaster hose and almost knocked me over when I first turned it on!
Anyway, it got progressively hotter and hotter and at exactly 5;05pm the thunderstorm hit. It was absolutely perfect timing as the car wash was scheduled to end at 5. We gathered everything up and dashed for our cars, utterly exhausted but completely happy.
Thank you to my family and friends who helped!
And now I must get back to practicing piano for nationals. I leave next Wed! I am so excited.
Bye!
