Shut Up Stupid Cookie!!

Okay so yesterday was not my best day...ever.

It went bad with the yearbook. after three years of amazing books...it went icky. you could tell the staff wasn't paying attention to their work. Then I had gotten the Perfect Attendance Award all four years, if that happens the school gives you $200. I wasn't called up to get my $200. So I run to Office Ladies and apparently I only had perfect attendance my Junior Year. So I have to dig out all the award papers before I can get any thing.

So I come home not happy; Hollins (my first choice) is too far away and we can't afford the travel and I have to baby sit. Lucy ran and tore her diaper off some where and peed on the floor, while I'm cleaning that up and looking for the missing diaper Finn poos through his pants. And then we ran out of satin remover when I went to squirt it! And when I had too use the toilet there was poop on the seat!

Even more unhappy I crack open a fortune cookie from Pei Wei. 'Handle all your problems with dignity'.

Well UD didn't work out,

really, why is a catholic school so expensive?

This is not what Jesus would do.

He came to you and taught for free

He even brought snacks!!!

Come on UD, think Jesus

Lu-cini Strakes Again!!

First time the Lu escaped was when she opened the door to the open garage and booked it up to Sachse road before any one realized she was gone. Lets just say she was brought home with 6 or so cop cars and a lady walking around asking 'Is this your baby?'

This time she was out in the backyard both gates closed and Dad send me out to go peak on her. Guess who's not in the backyard. Both gates still closed. Dad and I take off up the street to find her being sent back home by two dads who were watching their kids play street hockey. She looked rather sullen about being foiled.

How she dose it we still have no idea, just hope she doesn't turn to a life of crime. We'd never be abul to ceach her, much less in-pound her.

Well, I guess we are all friends now . . .

Part of my follow up treatment for my accident is a series of steroid shots into my spine. Seems I have a disc in my back that didn't appreciate the wrap around the pole yoga position I used in January. So I get there, and they put me in the "gown of shame" with no back and they get me set up with an i.v. Thirty minutes later we go into the procedure room and I lay on my stomach, with my boxers the only thing between me and a full moon shot. That lasted about two seconds when one of the nurses came by and tugged the boxers past mid cheek. My only comment, "usually that requires some drinks and dancing".

no drivers liscense for you!!

Standing in front of the TSA woman this morning at Love Field, can't find my id. "Do you have any government issued id?"

Nope

Well, just show me that old gym membership with your picture and a credit card.

Now I feel just all kinds of safe

If the taliban are credit worthy we are sunk.

Things my wife has taught me

1. How to use chop sticks
2. Sushi can actually be edible, even if it looks like bait sometimes
3. Salmon and capers on a bagel is pretty good stuff
4. Ice Cream is a food group (learned not to argue that one)
5. You can't spoil a baby, ever

There is a ton more, but those stuck out today.

She is still really sore from her crash, keep her in your thoughts and prayers. And kids, when was the last time you told your Mom you love her?

On the Road

First trip out since the accident. 4 days in Houston, three nights away from home. I can honestly say that the corner of the Houston that I am in is not on the tourism councils list of sites to see. Think gas flares in the night and refining.

real snazzy.

Not the holiday vacation I had planned

You always plan on a nice visit with family over the holdays. Lots of time to sit and catch up, see how everyone's kids have grown and generally wish you saw them more. I just didn't plan on doing that from my back in a hospital bed. I have to admit, there are some days that I don't remember much of anything. But, I did want to say how much we appreciate the love and kindness that has been showered on our family. It is very humbling to realize how many people care about your family.

I will never be able to say thank you enough.

May God hold all of you in the palm of his hand.

This is NOT What We Meant When We Said "White Christmas"

So as you may or may not have heard by now, on my drive back to Norman, from Dallas, my car took a detour ... right into the middle of the median on I-35 (more details on that to follow later). When I got back to Norman last night, though, the roads were pretty much cleared. All except for Stinson Street, the long road that leads up to my apartment complex. No, no, this road is completely covered in snow, and hasn't even been TOUCHED by a snow plow of any kind.

Well, neither has the parking lot of my complex. Cars are stranded and abandoned all over the parking lot. Somehow, my car (bless it's soul) managed to maneuver through the entire lot without getting stranded, but I'm not taking any chances. My roommate's car (which is actually much lower to the ground than mine is anyway) is completely stranded, and our efforts last night to try to free it were unsuccessful. So for now, I'm parked just a little ways down from my building, on a patch of ground that has miraculously no snow or ice. While this video doesn't quite show you the entire extent of this parking lot circus, it kind of gives you an idea.

The cats know how I feel...part 2

Hi everyone!

sorry I haven't been speaking much, but Senior year is when every one decides to question your future, or your ability to have one. Counselor scouts and parents, is there no hiddy hole from the collage maddens? it just makes you want to...to....



But I did find a good collage I want to go to. in the top 20 at lest most likely the top 15 for creative writing. Hollins! (do-do-do-dooo). The Texas scout know me by name now, and Dad approves because it's a privet all girls school in Vergina, far away from 'the boy'. Still the Psychology department is solid and and the Acting department is recognized! It makes me feel the magic inside of me!



Ethan things are okay, were just in one of those times. Not fighting but not really doing much ether, both of us kinda tiered after the trimester, where going to go on a date but I felt kinda quizy and food didn't sound good. Now with Winter Guard and all the Ap classes jumping on us when we finely get some time its just like,



Key club has started up for Sachse high school too, so add that to my list of Beta club, Girl Scouts, Band, Ap every thing, NSHS, and society of hug a puppy. With Key Club I'm heeding to DFW airport for a welcome home on December 23 for a bunch of troops. That should be fun!


I had to take one regulars class this trimester. Economics. I'm kinda going to miss that free class. I could have skipped the whole trimester except for tests and still made my A+. I saw it as my writing time. Ap economics was first period and there was no way no how I was giving up Ap Psychology!!! Coach Halac was amazing!!! Even if it is the most awkward class to go through with your boyfriend sitting right behind you. Especially in that Motivations chapter. Never thought I'd have to hide a text book from my parents but that is the wonder of Psychology. We also got hypnotized twice!
now people with vivid imaginations and such are really good at getting hypnotized. I fell out of my chair both times!! Of corse when your telling someone the day before that your getting hypnotized and they're all ' oh thats fake' and 'blablabla' it really gets on your nerves. Those people are such kill joys!



And then fourth period was Computer Science! I made my own Video game! From scratch! on Dark Basic!! I am now the computer expert at the house. what I can't fix with resin I fix with threats to tare out it's hard-drive and then call Computer Ghost. Yes Zeke haunts our computer complete with messages lest on the screen and mouses moving on their own. But aside from Computer Ghost I am the Computer Guru!

Speaking of fallowing older children, Lucy is becoming the next Swing-aholic! *sniff* I'm so proud! she was out there with me twice yesterday, and had Bella push her once!

Now on to Finn. the new little baby boy. I feel sorry for him mostly for two resins. 1) he's a boy, after a bunch of girls. when girls live together their monthly gifts start happening at the same time....Run Finn run far away!!!! Think Manly thoughts! 2) mom will not give him a pa-shu! Every baby needs their pa-shu!!! Other than that he lays around, bobbles his baby noggin, eats, crys, toots and poops in that order. I don't feel sorry for him because it get dad off my back about my sleep patters. Oh sure, she's crazy to wake up at 3:45 till it means you don't have to pick up the baby, and she redirect nightmare woken children to her bed.

See not nutty now is it Daddy-o?

Writing has been fine, but Aunt Wally still holds my main story hostage, so I've had complete author ADD. (so would it be AADD?) And it's bad I've sprouted at lest five new stories. One of which I've already been ordered not to kill a few people in by my readers.

See I once made the mistake of telling Miranda Sweet how my mind works for stories. Your best of as a background carter when I'm having a bad day. If I have bad days, my carters have super days, if I have a good day they will had a very sad day. If your just there to add more depth but not really a part of the story, your life is great! If I like you, I'll beat up on you a bit and you might die. If I don't like you you will die, it's just a question of how and when.

Now she and little Miranda, Justén and Faith have forbidden me under penalty of death from killing off cretin people. (Luke and May from 'the Call', Aden and Cyrus from 'Prince of the Void', any of the Phoenix team from the books aunt Wally has hostage. Those people.) so I was nearly killed for my last chapter of the Call.

(No I have not finished the book, I have a skip around journal in witch I writ down ideas or short chapters from books before they fly away)

See it looked like I killed Luke. Two almost cried and 3 nearly jumped to attack me. I hastily pointed out that if they killed me who would be able to bring Luke back. I think it worked for now...it's not like they'd....oh they would....oh dear....

But other than that....no that's all I can think of right now. So if there is any company scholarships out there let me know. Especially for artsy or Psychological items. Can't wait to major in Psych! I'll get to do all kinds of experiments!

That will be fun! (Muahahahahaha!!!) well good bye every body, keep in touch! I have to go put the peaces together. After all it's my life and;
