Art and cleanliness

Having been sick in the last week, I look terrible; however, my room is pretty and with that I am happy. We have also been cleaning out our storage area and with much joy, I have received some of my mother’s old clothing which was buried there. I guess it should tell me something that [...]

Extreme shopping

I had a post about a week ago….but the laptop ate it. “It wasn’t my fault!” *ahem*
We went shopping last night at Wal-Mart because my current hiking boots are several sizes too big. I discovered that as Wal-Mart only carries what the rest of my insane age group wears; boots are now a specialty item, [...]

“Math is broken”

Hello, besides wanting to kill my math book, things are pretty good here. James is home from college. I’ve joined a robotics team, and things are generally ok.

Ok, so today I was working on my computerized biology book. Looking back over pages, searching for that which I have forgotten. When suddenly…(Duh duh dum) the computer switches back to a previous page. I make an annoyed, desperate exclaimation and continue, hoping that it does not happen again. Unfortunetly, it does, as [...]

Movies

I can read The Fellowship of the Ring now! I’m about half-way through. I understand now why my parents made me wait; it is dark. My older brother finished or almost finished his on-line coarse.
Hail to old movies! good actors, plots, and language! Where you have to listen closely so you could understand the crackly [...]

On instructions

If anyone who made the laws which companies had to follow was really bored one day and wanted some excitement, this is what he could do. Simply pass a law saying that, all employees who wrote instructions for products sold in the U.S., must be able to pass a third-grade grammar coarse. Within a day, [...]
