A formal apology

Okay. Here is the horse sketch NOT upside down. NOW are you happy?!

Here.

What shall I write about?

Today I was tired because I stayed up until midnight at my brother's play. He got a speaking part in a musical called The King and I(Improper grammar! :O)! Anyway he was great but the problem is I was getting stalked by his friend who is obsessed with asking me questions about the Hunger Games books. Then when we got home my rabbit was going crazy in his cage and I couldn't go to sleep until one in the morning.........I forget where I was going with this.........

On a completely different note, I'm also making this awesome little owl by whittling a block of pine and then gluing on fancy feathers. He'll be a coming-home present for my sister Rachel(For, who all you newcomers, is in a private school in Wisconsin),who is coming back to her loving family, yours truly, on June ninth!!!! Yay! And she says the only food she wants at the party in her honor is homemade pizza-NOT frozen from a box but with real dough and not-canned tomato sauce- because the food at the school stinks. And I guess being raised on homemade bread and wholesome dinners doesn't help when you're being tossed into a frontier of cheese quesadillas that are basically tortillas floating in a puddle of grease. So glad to have her almost back...at least she's survived so far! BUT when I was making the owl I sliced my finger with my Swiss Army knife, so she better like it! (Oh no improper grammar again!! :O)

...........................................(Long, awkward pause while I think of something to say).................................
Today I also went swimming in my neighbors' pool which was like fifty degrees! That was freezing but fun........And in case you're wondering I did NOT break into my neighbors' yard(I'm looking at you, Gwen!). Linda and Dennis are EXtremely generous people who miss having children in their pool and kind of adopted us as grandchildren since until recently they had none. So we were invited four  years ago to come over whenever we wanted to swim! (Rapturous sigh) It's so nice to have good neighbors.........

So, yeah....just an update on my random life! And because I don't really know how to end this post, here's a random sketch of a horse that I made (and has been sitting on my desk ever since!) like three months ago.




And yes, it is upside down. My scanner is screwed up.

Ouchie. OR What did I do to deserve this?!?!!?

This Monday, I had a minor ouch incident. I was walking my dog, right? Well, then the sidewalk decided to make me trip on a jutting part, therefore mauling my toe and sealing my fate as a cripple. Well, tripping on a sidewalk is no big deal, right? I mean, I didn't even fall down. Well, try tripping so hard your toe takes a chip out of the sidewalk. In flip flops. Yeah. So luckily I was in the ending part of our walk, and so I was relatively close to home. So I dragged my toe and dog Sophie home, bleeding all over the road. Oh, and this wasn't just a scrape on my skin(If you have aversions to blood, you probably don't want to read this part.) . This was a full-scale chunk ripped out of my big toe-or almost ripped out. When I tripped, a hunk of my toe was scraped off in one piece, only connected to my actual toe by a thin strip of skin, so it was flapping like a flag and looked like a trap door. And it was flinging blood all over the street.

Oh yeah, and then when I got home, my mom was mad at me for bleeding all over her wood floors. Well, I'll say this, Mom: At least we got the carpet torn up when we moved in.


So, beware sidewalks. And now I'm stuck in stinking sneakers until my toe heals up.

(Actually, I wrote this last week and published it today because I wanted an excuse not to write a real post. So, this was last Monday, and here's a picture of my toe taking an agonizingly long time to heal.)

So, yeah. Be careful of tripping. And I don't even care that that was probably the most obvious moral I could have put in.
