oh, poor biff! I know how that is, when your sick even something as simple as making a pop-tart becomes a difficult endeaver...I hope you feel better soon!

today is my last day of school and work! (I get to go back to work when school starts again, I'm emoloyed through a school program for students with disabilities, and they only have funding for me to work during the school year) aw well, I'll think of something to keep me occupied!

thanks for wishing me well, flame. i shoulda put me on the prayer chain.

i didn't know you had a disability. is it your vision?

one more of those weird coincidences....

on the end of the school year. if it was me, i think i'd crawl into bed & sleep for like 3 months.

but that's probably just my cold talkin.

It occurs to me that over the course of my entire life I've never seen a buffalo or a mutant variation of a buffalo, flying or sea dwelling.
Also, I cut my finger under the nail, right below where the skin is attached to the nail, so it's like the nail's just hanging on by the back end. Except not that deep... sidewalk chalk.

I saw a lizard today! I named him Bob, and then he got ran over by a car.

oh no, poor Bob!

that fingernail thing sounds hurty, Robert. i feel your pain. i about took my pinky nail off like a week ago. it sux.

so, are you graduating with Peach, or are you a year behind him?


i have a party to go to today.

I went to a Whitesox Yankees game in Chicago this Wednesday, my first pro baseball game ever, and it was great!

Some highlights were:

- Stadium food- I love it! oh my goodness I just wanted to eat everything!! I got a bratwurst with sauerkraut! It was amazing. And a delicious corn dog, and a churro.
- the Yankees home runs!
- Yankees won! yay!

some not so good points were:

- how much the stadium food costs. but I guess that kept me from totally overeating like crazy and the beer is so expensive, we were like "well its almost a good thing we're too young to buy beer so we won't go broke!"
- an hour rain delay. but fortunately our seats were under an awning! cool!
- it was 41 degrees!! we froze our butts off, but still had fun

but yeah, overall it was definitely fun and I plan on going to more games. At school I am so close to the sox stadium, and the cubs stadium is on the same train line. an easy trip.

And my best friend from high school came out and stayed the weekend, hes an intense yanks fan, and we had a blast in Chicago.

that sounds like fun, lajoyce!

i guess i should go feed galoot.

i talked to the kids today. they're doing good. Nathan's new shoes are a big hit.

that sounds awesome jayjoyce I've never been to any major sport events, just local stuff, but I think anywhere you go the food's expensive

poor Bob! I always get sad when animals get hit by cars, even if I didn't know them well

and sorry about rthe fingernail thing, sounds painful. I had my toenail ripped off before...it hurt

actually....yes, it is my vision oh, those crazy coincidences...

oh, and by the way, love the new banner!

thanks.

i still need to stick a border on your latest banner pic, but i'll have it all ready by next week.

the mower guy is coming to get our mower on wednesday, & by the looks of our yard, it can't be soon enough.

i wish i woulda got some cough medicine when i went to town. i wonder if i have any down at the old house?

ants have overtaken our hummingbird feeder. we really need to poison the yard.

i posted a new homemade movie on my new camera thread. i like to call it Hot Time Saturday Night.

Me, too -- the Johns look great in it, and I love that shade of blue.

My friend from school and I went to this today. We got badges to get in from my dad's friends at a meat distributor, and we ate so many amazing free samples of delicious foods. I'm so full

We had deep fried pickles and crazy kinds of soda and all sorts of things.

My friend and I went to this last year too, and the keynote speaker was George W Bush, and we kept making jokes about it since National Restaurant Association and National Rifle Association are both abbreviated 'NRA'

Anyone else here been to food/restaurant shows? If you have a chance, go to one! They're always fun.

that sounds interesting. i've never tried a deep fried pickle.

thanks GR. i didn't tweak the colour at all. it came that way.


man, i woke up with the worst headache. i wish the IBs would kick in already...

oh poor biff! i

t's rainy out today, but I still wanted to get on here! I got my bike fixed and decided to ride to town to go shopping at resale stores, and of course to go to the Library I bought my Dad some Star Wars and Star Trek books, he's a nerd, but then so am I

aww, yer such a nice kid.

i feel better now, & i'm finally turning the corner on that stoopid cold too.

i was gonna say something, but i forget what it was now.

I wonder if 89.7 The River ever got my pledge for this year's Phone-A-Thon?

I pledged $25 last spring (the money goes to help the station pay its yearly tower-rental bill); and a couple months ago, since the station manager still had my information on hand, she sent me a form so I could pledge by mail before this year's Phone-A-Thon week started in April (rather than wait until after it started and then pledge over the phone). The form listed different gifts you could get for pledging at different donation levels -- I decided to spring $60 for a River T-shirt, and I checked the "bill me later" option.

Last year, it took about a month after the beginning of Phone-A-Thon week for me to receive a bill, and I got my gift (a CD) a few days after I paid it. But it's been over a month since the end of this year's Phone-A-Thon week, and I still haven't been sent a bill; I'm wondering if the form with my pledge on it got lost in the mail or something.

(BTW, The River ended up pulling in some $90,000 worth of pledges this year, and their goal was $89,700. )
