Lots of Water

I’m in a plane going somewhere with my parents. The seats are really comfortable, royal blue with a velvet feel to them. The plane is wider than usual and I am wondering if this is what first class is like. I tell myself that I’ll never fly back in the squishy seats again. There is another family behind us, they …

Why Do You Blog?

Today is the first day of the year that I can say it’s FREEZIN’ outside!! Brrrrr! It was mild this morning when I left for school but when I came out a few hours later it was much colder.

Getting To Know You

Lately people have been sending around these “Getting to know you” emails. What’s weird about those things is that they don’t just come now and then. They either do or they don’t.. kind of a when it rains it pours thing. I don’t like sending out mass emails like that because I know it annoys a lot of people. So …

Webcammin’!

Last night I actually slept through the night. Which is quite unlike the few nights before. We got a timed feeder for the cats hoping that if they get fed part way through the night they won’t start getting rowdy at 4-5am. Joke as on us because they figured out how to get it open, but that doesn’t happen without …

Pussy Problems!

Look at those faces.. Don’t they look like the most adorable, sweet, cuddly things you’ve ever seen? Well, don’t be fooled! They are the devil’s tricksters sent to my home to see to it that I never get a full night’s sleep. I love them but for about an hour a day and a few hours each night I hate …

Girl Next Door

I am the girl next door…I wonder how many people are laughing or shouting rebuttles to that statement right now. I know I sure was when I saw the result of the latest of the Dumb Quizzes I did. I was visiting Tanya’s Blog and saw a “What Kind of Girl Are You?” quiz and couldn’t resist. When I saw …

Nosy Texan

So, my classes are awesome. The content at the moment is easy, as I already know most of it. My teacher said she thinks I might need to skip up a few levels because I’ll get bored in this one. I told her I’d rather just do it from the start so I don’t miss anything. They are using this …
