helloooooo
Sorry I haven't updated things for a while. And now that I am here...Blogger is giving me all kinds of trouble.
Guess what?! We finally got our wedding photos from Rai Ann!!!
I can't remember what all has happened since I last posted.... Well, I spent Friday at Carolyn's because she has been having some health problems. Julia and I had fun doing puzzles. On Saturday I barbecued about 24 chicken thighs, cleaned the house, did laundry, made apple crisp, etc. On Monday I went to the hospital with Carolyn, then I went to the chiropractor, and then Nat and I went to the gym. I'm supposed to get 42 treatments from the chiropractor--starting out 3 times a week, and then gradually getting down to twice a month. Not very exciting.
Hmm, what else? Oh, I am going to do a separate post with a pic from a bbq we had a while back, and a couple pics of something we ate for supper recently.
Guess that's it for now.

NOTE
Nat says I have to resize the party pics before I post them...so that will have to be done later/soon, because we are leaving for lunch.
various things
Okay, so I haven't posted for a week. It's been busy, it's been crazy, but today is finally going great. So let's see:
Friday: Grammie and Grandpa came over and we had a really nice visit. Then Mercy and Ben came by. Merc and I did some stuff at the college (got her registered for the GED, etc.), and I checked into getting a concealed handgun license. In case anyone thinks I'm joking - I'm not. It's a 1 day class, 11 hours long (on a Saturday). I'm very serious about getting a CHL. And once I get the license, I'm going to get me a very powerful handgun. If there are any "anti-gun" people reading this, all I have to offer you is my sympathy. OK. Later on, Nat and I worked out at the gym, and then we met John at Starbuck's. I got a venti java chip frap, and for those of you who don't know, it's HUGE. I ended up having breathing trouble from all the caffeine and went to bed. Well, it took me 5 hours before I fell asleep.
Monday: Wasn't great - was supposed to have a review for the math exam but we ended up covering a whole new chapter. It's been frustrating because I spend so much time on math (homework mainly) and I don't even need this course. Later on was fun - I secretly went shopping and bought stuff for a surprise birthday party for Nat (pics to follow in next post). I tricked him into staying out of the dining room and I decorated the room with balloons and all kinds of stuff. He never even suspected what I was doing!!
Tuesday: Mainly taken up with chemistry. Lab was fun. Got home around 4 and then started cleaning house and getting ready for the party without Nat knowing. He just thought that Aunt Jeanne and family were coming to bring him a gift. Soooo....at 7 pm, everyone started showing up, and Nat was SO shocked! It was great. We had cake, ice cream and drinks...and then Nat opened presents.
Wednesday: Was supposed to have a math exam but I decided to do the coolest thing I've ever done--I went and dropped my math course!! I didn't need it anyway. But somehow it felt bad--cos I've never dropped a course before! Then Mercy and Ben came over and we went and played tennis (which meant I didn't have to go to the gym cos I got a workout from playing tennis. But it made my knee worse).
Today: **Chemistry exam** I was quite concerned about this, but it turned out to be no problem! It took 40 minutes tho, cos there were a TON of calculations. No lab. And now I am hungry and I want lunch. :D
Byeeeee!

Of dogs, exams, and fires (though the three are not related)
I don't know why Blogger has to be so annoying. It will NOT let me arrange my photos in the order that I want to. This top photo is supposed to be the last one. Here's why:
Yesterday, after I got home from math class, I took some food, notebooks, pens, pencils, and my bamboo mats outside and studied in the backyard. Shannon thought this was very interesting since I hardly ever do that due to the cold weather. But yesterday was beautiful sunshine and slightly warm. Shannon faithfully stayed beside me for quite a long time, and then decided she wanted to take a nap in my lap(!!). The first of the following photos illustrates that.
So today I had another chemistry test. (Much easier than the first one.) Tomorrow I have a math test. Tuesday I have a major chemistry exam. And Wednesday I have a major math exam.
In lab today we did 6 experiments (sweet - because on Tuesday we had to do 10!). It still took ages, even though it was only 6, and we split up the work between 5 people!! For one of the experiments we ignited magnesium and it lit up REALLY bright - so bright we weren't allowed to look at it because it could damage our vision. Neat. We did some other interesting stuff, but I don't feel like thinking or talking about school anymore.
My knee is still bothering me. I'm hungry. Um, I guess that's about it. I'm making homemade pizza for supper tonight. :-D

Update
Okay, now that I've posted toooo many photos.....!
Unfortunately I don't have any photos from the housewarming party, but I think Merc has a couple. Perhaps she will kindly send me some?? ;-)
The party was *great*--Mrs. Joplin brought TONS of food, and lots of people came. And I got lots of gifts (!). It felt like a bridal shower or something!
Saturday was pretty busy. First I went to Wal-Mart to get a different brace thingy for my knee. I was just about to get out of the car when I looked up and noticed about 50 men in camo marching to the front door (of Wal-Mart) with their guns on their shoulders. I was like, "Huh? What's going on?" I eventually realized that they were doing some kind of fundraiser.
Then I went to Bay Area Blvd. to get some blood work done. In the space of like one week, I've had 9 tubes of blood taken out of me!!
Then Caleb went to his family's house to use the computer (to do taxes). Nat and I went to Pearland H-E-B because they had a set of four small tables (folding tables, like for when we have coffee and tea) on sale. We ended up doing all the grocery shopping there. It's a HUGE H-E-B, complete with a "bookstore" as well as furniture, toys, and entertainment departments. HUGE. I had a migraine by the time we left.
I also had a migraine yesterday (Monday)--much worse than the one Saturday. I think math class made it worse. After class, Nat and I worked out at the gym. Then Nat had a night class, and at 5:30 Aunt Jeanne and Shelby came over. I ended up going to bed at 6:45 or so (due to the headache) and slept till 5:50 this morning. I still have a slight headache today but I'm not going to complain!!!
I *am* hungry tho, so I am going to end this here.
Cheers!
