School's rough
Life's rough
Just about everything's got me fried at the edges.

Hope everyone's well!

Life comes and goes and all we can be expected to do is find out how to handle it as it comes at us from all sides.

I've been guilty of a lot of eavesdropping lately and I've been hearing people talk about how hard their life is right now. Everyone seems to be having it bad at varying degrees of difficultly. I just don't think I ever noticed because when you're a kid you're not really sure what hard is, when it comes to life. You want food, mom makes you a sandwhich and you never have to question whether or not you have any left because you grow up expecting there to always be bread, peanut butter, and grape jelly.

Well, I've learned that there isn't always bread, peanut butter, and grape jelly (literally and metaphorically) and sometimes you have to really work to get what's missing.
I also learned that it's always been like that but I'm not a kid anymore so I'm noticing it more often. I'm sure when I get into college it will REALLY hit me and the bread, peanut butter, and jelly will not be there more often than it is.

At least I have Loving parents who are there to guide and support me every step of the way :)

    Great observation...and very true. Nothing should be taken for granted, that's for sure! You definitely are maturing to be realizing this fact. :) Oh, and I like your colors. :)

    Hey Blake, good thoughts, although you might find yourself without with so many friends and family there is always plenty to share. Luckily at the moment theres plenty bread peanut butter and grape jelly here

Ew

Cat dissections continue tomorrow. The gross factor is way up there, but I'm handling it surprisingly well :)

Went to Shorter this past weekend. Had a BLAST and can't wait to go there this fall :) (I say that like I'm already in :P I guess I just have confidence)
I met tons of nice people, and didn't meet a single person that i didn't like :D It was a lot of fun and I learned some good stuff.

I spent the night at my friends house and we had another bad movie night. I showed her the movie "Happily Ever After" an aweful cartoon sequal to Snow White. And it's funny, in the entire movie the prince does not get a name. It's always The Prince or My Prince. Interesting.
We also watched Labyrinth, which isn't horribly terrible but it it kind of leaves in a state of stupor the first time you watch it. However, it's male star David Bowie played a very good goblin king and there is a very cute creature that reminds me of a pamaraneian so it's redeemed :)


Hope everyone's having a good week!

what a fun week, eh?
mmm yes.
Let's see, i glued my finger to my key with krazy cement glue (that hurt), got locked in the car (that cost me some dignity), set off the alarm in the car (another bit of lost dignity), smashed my fingers (that hurt too), hit my dad's car (my heart kind of stopped a beat when i realized exactly who's car i'd backed into at seven in the morning), but i ended the week with a party at my house that was fun and everyone had an enjoyable time.

    Now remind us all again --just how long have you had this car and how long have you been driving??? Now tell us the truth--remember, I was with you when you got the car;-]]] HA HA HA

    Yikes! What a week? One of those where you feel like, "I'm just going to go back to bed, and wake up starting this week all over again!" :) Glad you had a good party...any special occasion?

    Whoa! It is good that some weeks come to an end before anything else can happen!

From FL

I'm in florida right now. It's been 84 degrees average this week. How lovely :) My dog has loved hanging out with my cousin's dog, Molly, the little white maltese. Molly weighs have of Dakota but they get along great and are rarely seperated from one another.

We've done lots of shopping (I got some cute tops, a skirt, earrings, and scarves) and we're ready to come home tomorrow.

Happy New Years!
