So,I have interesting news, last Thursday, December 20th, at probably 10-something pm, I found out I'm pregnant! And since Tony hasn't been home for that long, as of right now, the most pregnant I can be is exactly 4 weeks. GO ME!! I haven't had any morning sickness, really really weird cravings, or anything like that, I do have cravings for food, like more of it, but no pickles and ice cream...just normal things. I like food. Food is awesome.
But that's like all, my parents are happy with it, Tony's parents are happy with it, so YA FOR US!!

The Most Interesting Trip to Missouri
So, on November 28th, The Sarah and I left at about 8am, venturing out of the state of Michigan in hopes to reach Missouri in one piece...
Little did we know, that we would sit in Chicago traffic for a period of time and be INCREDIBLY bored in Illinois.
The story starts early in the morning...we decided that McDonald's breakfast sounded great...so ha. Then we get gas, then we go. So with our red bull's in hand, we venture out onto I-94 West for 283 miles (ish) which kicked us out right near Chicago...which, because it's near Chicago, it sucks for traffic, no matter what you do. We only sat in traffic for about 20-25 minutes, but it was still annoying. After that, we got onto I-80, the toll road...which we accidental missed the lane to pay them for...oops...I'll probably get a ticket here in 6-8 weeks...oops...but not the point.
Illinois is INCREDIBLY BORING. It's flat, there is nothing to look at, and it's LONG AS HELL. It sucks.
But eventually, we got to Missouri, alive and in one piece, and called it good. We got to our hotel, The Knights Inn, and passed out immediately, on account of us getting between 1 1/2 to 3 hours of sleep each the night before.
Small tid-bit...right before I TOTALLY passed out...that point between barely conscious and knocked out, something grazed my arm by my tattoo...which was way over my head...not thinking, I figured it a hair...WRONG...it was a bug. Maybe a centimeter big. Kinda creepy...EEWWW.
So, we had family day, it was cool, we went bowling with some of his friends. The day after, his graduation, was so awesome, I was so proud of him, we all were, even his dad and step mom made it out there, which rocked as well. I was so glad to see him after 3 1/2 long months, I'm so glad to have him home.
The trip back was a bit different, we stopped in Alton, Illinois, which is where Sarah's dad, Ted, lives, we got there Friday night and left Sunday morning. Ted sends his regards to everybody, by the way.
We got home, which was also nice, Illinois was still boring, it rained the whole time. Literally. All it did was rain. Sometimes hard, sometimes not so hard. But it just rained.
So that's basically all that happened, well, maybe not detailed every little thing, but close. If any more questions, interesting or not, go ahead and ask. I'll let you know. HAVE A NICE DAY!!!

Fun News
News in the world of Tony...he graduates November 30th. On the 28th of November, Sarah and I plan on waking up early in the morning, like 5am or 6am, and taking a drive down to St. Robert, Missouri and we are going to check into the Knight's Inn (Ka-nig-its...sorry, Monty Python). Then, on the 29th, Sarah and I will be waking up early, like 9am, getting ready and looking pretty, then at 1pm, we will go to the "family briefing", which we will then see Tony after wards, FINALLY, I will get to see Tony, this will be my first opportunity since August 15th. Then, when Tony has to go back to base, and we have to go back to the hotel, we will. Then, on the 30th, we will wake up early, like 6am, because at 10am, we will watch Tony graduate, and become an official Soldier of the United States Military, and then he can come home with me. Literally. He will be sitting next to me, in my car, driving home. It will be totally awesome. BUT, we are not going straight home, we are going to Alton, Illinois, to visit Sarah's dad for a day or two, then going home. It will still be totally awesome. Just so the world knows, Tony is coming home very very very VERY soon. Like since it's 12:20 right now, on November 8th, I will get to see him in 22 days. He will be home in 24 to 25. Hell yeah.

Hello, bright world!
Hello world, how are you today? I'm OK, just tired, and here. This weekend we are in Charlotte, we have Hayley this weekend, and Tony Watkins has drill this weekend, so here we are. Currently, Hayley is getting a bath, or not, I think she is running through the upstairs naked; she is running from her mommy...and I am here, down stairs, in the living room, on Rebecca's laptop...sitting.
It's almost inconceivable that Tony has been gone for nearly 2 months now, it has seemed like a lifetime, and it might as well be one, but on the bright side, Tony is half way done! He finally moved onto white phase, which means he has more privileges, which means he can actually call me every once in a while, that would be great, I miss his voice so much, he did call the other day, like a week ago, no, he called on Monday, and, just like last time, towards the end of the conversation, I start crying because I know he'll have to hang up the phone and I don't want him to. Plus, I normally just want to cry when I answer, but I'm holding it back as much as I can, but it's always so hard, I'm so overwhelmed with hearing his voice, that I just can't help it. Then of course once I do hang up the phone, I sit in my room and cry for 10 minutes, and because I don't want to burden Sarah or Tony W., I try and do it as quietly as possible...which most of the time never works, but I try...Tony said I was probably one of the strongest people he knew, but I didn't understand why, I mean, god, I was crying, all because I re-sprayed my snoopy with my honey's Hugo, and just the smell took me over. TWO WHOLE MONTHS HE'S BEEN GONE, it seems like eternity, and when he comes back, I hope that he reads this and knows how much I really miss him, I'm miserable, I think I'm even depressed without my better half, I had plans to do things while he was gone, like organize the shed, organize the house, and finish my cross-stitching thing that says "Tony and Miranda Married this day, July 14th, 2007". I really want to do this, but I just have no urge to do it, my urge is technically to never leave my bed, but because there is a world out there, I really have to get up, despite not wanting to...
I do think, now that I've pondered it a while, that I will start the wedding thing, it's really pretty, so maybe I'll just do it, I really want it to be done before Tony gets home, so I can kinda surprise him with it, that willl be cool.
Well, it's now my turn to get in the shower, so I think I will, I'm dirty. BYE world!
Tuesday, September 25, 2007
Hello world...how are you today? I'm fine thanks. I am quite tired though. The Miranda has been working very hard every day. Work sucks. My feet hurt and I'm sad. I'm not sad because my feet hurt, well, not entirely, I'm sad because I miss Tony. I did get to talk to him Sunday, It was awesome, but it made me cry just about every time I thought about him since then...it's hard to hold it in. Sometimes I just don't want to hold it in, I just want to let it all out, you know, but I really don't want others to see me cry like that, because most of them know my situation and hopefully they know how I'm trying to be strong, because I have to keep telling myself "it's only a fraction of a fraction of time that he will be gone, then I get him for the rest of my life." I mean come on, we've been together for over 3 years, 41 months, specifically. He's only going to be gone for less than 4. How can I not keep my chin up and be strong? Compared to the rest of my life, this is nothing. But holy crap it was so good to hear his voice. I miss that so much. I miss everything. I miss him hogging the bed at night. I miss hearing him say "make me dinner..." I even miss him yelling "mother fucker!" or "fucking spawn-rapers!" at his game all the time. God i just miss him. ALOT.

Sadness Flows...
Well, the first sad thing that is happening to me is that my Tony left me. It makes me sad. He left on August 15th...technically...on the 14th, we had to drive him to Lansing to the Quality Suites, because the army wanted him there over night so then the next morning when they want him up at 5 am so they can go to the MEPS center (that's where they give them their physical and such...) they will totally be there when they want them too very early the next morning. But whatever the case, on the 15th, he got shipped off to the air port at about 1pm, and we got to go see him...even though his flight wasn't going to leave until 5pm, but we had to go, so I cried of course, it was sad, and even Tony Watkins asked me if I was going to be alright. And go figure, the next day, I was sitting in my room trying to get my mind off him by cleaning out the junk drawer and my phone goes off saying I have a message from a funny phone number...so I call my voice mail and it was totally Tony. Go Figure. But my phone didn't ring!! IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!! Anyways, on-ward with the sadness...
I'm sorry David, but my Ginger Marrie was supposed to come home Friday night/Saturday morning. And as I've told at least 2 people, the whole "Ginger come home" thing isn't just for me, it's for her, I tried to look at the entire thing in 3rd person...I want Ginger to be happy, and for the past I don't know how long, Ginger has not been happy. And it is very possible that David is just saying whatever the hell he can to keep you there, he may promise that he'll change, and it will be different, PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE. And that may last for a week. Maybe even two. Then the Ginger will say "Shit, I should have taken that flight when I had the chance. Now I'm broke and homeless and in a horrible relationship with an ass hole."
But would you like my personal opinion? And I even hope David reads this some day. My opinion is that David, I hope you do change. I hope you can live up to what Ginger deserves. Because all I want is for Ginger to be happy, and guess what? She told me for quite some time that she wasn't and it was because of you. Maybe you should get your head out of your selfish ass and move back towards Michigan. Do you know anybody in Ohio? How about Indiana? God, even Pennsylvania! So then your stubborn ass won't be in Michigan like you apparently don't want to be, but you're also not keeping Ginger too far away from the people that she cares about OTHER than you! Don't be so greedy! And I'm not saying that just because I want to see her, what about her mom? Neil? Gramma? Everybody, especially since Gramma Schneider isn't doing too well lately, QUIT BEING SO GREEDY WITH THE GINGER! LEARN TO SHARE HER WITH HER FAMILY! JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET ALONG WITH SOMETHING IN MICHIGAN DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE!! MICHIGAN WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR SO GET OVER IT!
*sigh* OK. I feel a bit better now. Ginger Marrie, all I want is for you to be happy, and if David does it then I want you to stay with him. Not like it's even my choice, but just do what makes you happy. You know I'm always here for you. We all love you Ginger Marrie.

Bahamas!!
Well, we got back from our honeymoom on Friday, and it was a blast! Last Monday, we left this crap-hole of Michigan and went to Miami and somewhere handy 2:00pm we got on the Royal Carabean ship "Majesty of the Sea"...Since on Friday i made an "Urgent Care" trip due to a pain-ridden kidney, I had gotten an antibiotic called Cepro that made me sick, despite following the directions and eating as much as i can so i don't get sick...but i was sick. From Friday to Monday, totally woozie the entire time. But then, Monday morning, I started a different antibiotic that Rebecca gave me...it is called Keflex...that stuff didn't make me sick...well, technically...The boat made me sick Moday, so i broke down and got some drememean to make me feel better and i did for the rest of the week. Awesome.
Ok, enough about that, now for the actual trip. Tuesday, in Nassau, we swam with dolphins...it was really spiffy, we danced, kissed, hugged, fed and "flew" with them...and i say "flew" as in 2 dolphins came up behind you as you laid on your stomach on the water and they pushed you so you were basically flying through the water. it was really cool; salty, but really cool.
Then Wednesday, in Coco Cay, we did this full-speed jet ski tour...we would go like 50 mph then catch up to the guide and he'd tell us about something then we'd do it again...the ocean was like 87 degrees...it was so nice.
Then Thursday, in Key West, we went snuba diving...i will explain: It's a cross between snorkeling and scuba diving...you have a mouth piece with a 30 ft. tube that goes up to a raft that has the tanks on it. So instead of lugging an air tank, it's more free and non-restricting. Which rocks. And we saw those things that killed the croc hunter...sting ray or whatever...we saw like 3 of them. and lots of Coral. FUN FUN!
Then Friday we went home. It was nice to go home, i missed my cats. But it was still a blast, I got a bit of a tan, and I got a massage, and a pedicure too. AWESOME. Sadly, Tony had to fall asleep in the sun by the pool for like an hour and oh, go figure, he's like black now. Friggin great.
Well, whatever, it was still fun. Anyways, I'm gonna go now, to the sso to change my name. :P

Here's a question:
One of my friends who came all the way from Florida came to my wedding last Saturday, and he met this girl, I won't name her name, and she was telling me even before he left that she liked him...and he told me that he liked her...but he has a girlfriend down in Florida...along with the fact that he lives somewhere handy 1500 miles away...my friends girlfriend in Florida is kinda weird, she's nice and all, but I personally don't think she treats him the way he deserves, but i can't hate her, I've barely met her...but my friend here in Michigan and him would fit together so nicely, but that's also just my opinion...BUT my entire question to my HUGE reading audience...(cough) should they be together? My friend in Fl. could up and leave Fl. without blinking.
THIS MESSAGE IS FOR MY FRIEND IN FLORIDA...You should come home, there is somebody here that would treat you right, treat you like an equal, not look down on you as if they know 100 times more than you do, and "holy shit, I'm so much smarter than everybody, even though I'm only 24 yrs old, but i am so wise and know more than Buddha and Jesus and Einstein but hey, like i am totally the shit..." no offence chikerita if you're reading this, but it's true, go sky diving or whatever and let him go...
OK, gotta go, going to a house with like AWESOME air conditioning...it's like 35 degrees 24/7...
ADIOAS

BOB DOLE LOVES...wait a sec...
Didn't I already use that as a title? Ah, whatever, anyways, in new news, we moved on the first of June to Ann Arbor, it's big, but its nice, Rebecca and Will are currently paying our bills until we get jobs and such, but part of the condition that i made if i was going to move all the way out here, was that i don't work until i want to...but since i owe so much money, i think I'm going to actually kinda try to get a job at Meijer gas station...1st and 2nd shift available! Anyway, we finally got all the bridesmaids dresses done, and as of Sunday, we got all the groomsman's tuxes done and ordered...they will be in by July 12th, my dress is currently being worked on, needed to be shortened and then taken in on the sides, and gingers dress will be in soon too. I actually need to call Davids Bridal, figure out when it will be done. My Ginger Marrie will be coming home at 5 am on the Thursday before the wedding, I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!! WOO!! Anyways, not really sure what else to write about, so I won't, it's not like anything new is going on other than what was specified above...anyways, I'll go, Latin Kings of Comedy is on so BYE.

...and we're back...
Well, lets see, currently, at this exact point in time, it is 10:56 on Saturday March 24th, Tony's friend Tony (...) is sleeping on the couch, my Tony is sleeping in our room, and i'm trying to type really quietly...And in other news, Titan finally got sold, we are now WJG Enterprises Molding Company...(try saying WJG 3 times fast) which is nice, no raise yet, but i'm still hopeful...(my) Tony and I got a call yesterday from Dowding Industries in Eaton Rapids, and we have a job interview at 9 am on Wednesday. They told me they would be paying me more than $9 an hour, which is awesome, since i only make $8.85 right now, and that includes my shift premium...so hopefully Tony and I could get a good 1st shift job together.
The wedding plans are coming along nicely, i have a dress, and Tony has his groomsmen...which brings me to my bride's maids...the lovely Ginger Marrie, and as soon as I call her and ask her, hopefully Charlotte, and then there is Sarah. DO NOT GET ME WRONG, I LOVE THE SARAH...but she's making me nervious...for a bit of back ground info, she has been here since earily to mid June last year...she still has no job, yet i know she has tried atleast a little bit, even if it really is only a LITTLE bit...she has lost her appartment, she was living with Jimmy, but that wasn't a good idea...too much drama, and personally i think way too much irresponsibility...not on Jimmy's part, but from Sarah and Joey and all there friends...from what i was told, Tom basically gets Hayley more often than Sarah does, since she isn't staying with Jimmy anymore, i think she is staying with her friend from Butternut Creek, Casie, which is probably worse...all i've ever seen happen over there is parties and alcohol and who knows what else...Sarah spends all her state-help (cash assistance, food card...) money on stupid stuff, she could save the cash assistance money maybe for a deposit on an appartment...she should not be picky on where she gets a job, if it's McDonalds, who cares. Atleast it's income. She needs to see that she is being stupid, she can't just go party all the time, she's 21, has a daughter, and no future. Sarah, you are my friend, i love you to death, but if this is going to impact my wedding, like you know, "oops, i spent what little money i had on alcohol and *** instead of buying my brides maid dress even though you gave me the color for it 8 months ago and i promised i'd make sure i'd have it by april...my bad..."
I'm hoping that Sarah will just stumble apon this or something, or maybe one of her friends wil just walk across this...maybe they'd say "Hey, Sarah, read this." and then maybe she'd see why i don't hardly ever call her. I can't help her unless she will help herself. I've bent over backwards for her many times. I just can't do it again. I have known Sarah since i was 4, but if she were to compromise my wedding, i don't know if i could forgive her.

Well then...
Guess I havn't been on here in like forever...well then...what's new in Miranda's world...well, first off, I am still sadly working at Titan, I'm hoping a whole hell of alot that I can get a new job hopefully soon...Oh, yeah, and I'm getting married on July 14th 2007! Hell yeah, though some people in Tony's family don't seem to be as thrilled...they all think he's too young and that he may be ruining his life by marrying me now at his young age. Yeah, I'm young too, but i don't care as much...I'm 20, it's about that time. I got a really really pretty ring, so maybe here soon I'll get a picure on here...if it's already on here, then never mind, I already did it. But I NEED to go to bed because Rebecca just called me and said she needs me to watch the kids at 4. Which sucks. So goodbye, I'll be back later.

Everybody go buy a car!
The reason I say that is this: If you work for a company that makes something that could go from high demand, to low demand, they will lay you off. Like car parts for example...sometimes sales are up, sometimes they are down. Right now they are down. Which means everybody who works for a company that makes those car parts, aren't needed to make the parts. Like me. 4 FRIGGIN WEEKS. Apparently, we are not needed for 4 weeks. Ok, I am not needed for 4 weeks. Jimmy will be working atleast tonight, I believe they will be laying off everybody eventually, but not yet...4 weeks of no money. I already have very little food in my house, how am I suposed to put food in my house with no money? How am I supposed to feed my cats with no money? How is this suposed to work? I NEED A NEW JOB THAT WON'T LAY YOU OFF EVERY 2 OR 3 MONTHS WHEN THEY AREN'T BUSY. This sucks. 4 weeks of being home not making money. I need to find something to do.
BUT IF EVERYBODY GOES OUT AND BUYS A CAR, I CAN GO BACK TO WORK AND MAKE MONEY! GO BUY A CAR! NOW!

TAKE VITAMINS
Vitamins are good for you. They keep you healthy. I did not take that advise when I should've. I am sick. 2 days ago it felt like somebody had rubbed sand paper all over my throat. But other than that, basically the right side of my face has had it the worst...my right eye does nothing but water, and my right side is really congested. I feel like crap. And working every day while feeling like crap makes me feel even more like crap. This sucks. Take your dang vitamins. Wash your hands. Don't kiss sick people. Don't lick doorknobs. Or grope a doorknob then lick your hand. Don't let people cough in your face. Besides, people who cough in your face aren't very nice. How rude.
It is Frontier Days here in my small town, and just in case it's not just Ginger or somebody who knows me that is reading this, Frontier Days is just a time when people sell more "fair" type food and little crappy expensive nick-naks, and I think there is a rodeo tonight, and there's a parade tomorrow, which I have to be in; since daddy owns the local bycicle shop, he ended up getting a spot in the parade and so we (daddy, momma, cousin Matt, probably other cousins, local kids who go to the shop alot, Tony, and Me, and maybe, if he'll let me, we'll get Sarah and Hayley involved...) will be riding our bikes in the parade. Apparently Tony and I (according to daddy) are going to be riding the tandum (2-seater bike) and towing the sign that says the name of the bike shop on it with phone number, ect. I'm not sure if I am going to be comfortable riding with Tony though, not because I don't trust him, but I know that it is hard to be the "driver", expecially with the extra weight...since it's going to be 2 people; it's hard to steer. But tonight we'll be going over to my dads to figure out of we can do it or not, or maybe we'll just be riding our bikes seperately. I don't know yet. I'm tired. I think I'll go to bed now.

my thumbs hurt :(
Hello, people who don't really read my blog...it is I, the totally awesome Miranda once again here to save the world....or not....Anyways, I know it's been forever since I've actually gotten a chance to be on here, and I know nobody really reads this anyway, but like the totally spifftastic ginger marrie once said, "my life should be a book, this stuff should be written down!!!" So I am doing so...not a whole lot has happend, accept for these few things:
* Sarah and Hayley came home beginning of June...not sure if I've told you that already...but that's not the point...the point is that she went down to Texas for 10 days...and aloud Tom to have the benefit of the doubt in Illinois to have Hayley for that period of time...well, needless to say, Tom was an ass hole and decided that Sarah couldn't have Hayley back...this was all in July...well, somewhere around August 20th, Sarah finally went down to accidentally go steal Hayley back...and now they are both here...Oh yeah, and Sarah got into Butternut Creek, which is awesome, and she's going to work first, and getting paid for it, and the same people doing the work first thing is also going to help her graduate. Which rocks.
* I got hired in at Titan on August 7th. So instead of making $7.90 an hour, I make $8.40 an hour...until like either 60 or 90 days then I get another 50 cents...oh yeah...And I think...unofficially...as of September 1st, Titan was (un)officially under new management...We sold the place FINALLY so I think they took over on the 1st. WOW.
*Tony's birthday is the 12th. I'm not sure what the hell I'm even going to get him, or what we will do, but I have what, 11...10 days to figure that out? GREAT. Anyways, he wants a new cordless power drill thingy that gonna cost the poor, but totally awesome Miranda like $55 or more. Depends on if I want the less crappy one, or the even lesser crappy one...not sure how crappy or un-crappy I'm willing to go...and he mentioned a movie...IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR HIS 18TH BIRTHDAY, LET ME K NOW...he didn't really seemed interested in a strip club...Sarah and I said that first thing-thinking that that's what every 18-year-old guy would want...but he kinda made a funny face at that so hey, fine with me.
* We finally got cable and internet at the house...oh yeah, and a phone line, it's quite nice being able to stay home and play on Rebecca's lap top...it's still kind of hers, she still has to erase all her crap on here....then it can be ours...oh yeah.
* Still haven't gotten that darn tatoo, can't afford it untill Tony gets his awesome job....which HE BETTER GET LIKE THE DAY AFTER HIS 18TH BIRTHDAY...but some day...I will...
And I had a thought...eh, Ginger, I'll just tell you later...anyways...I'm going to go play somewhere else now....fingers hurt from yesterday...I burnt my fingers while foaming at a press....and my thumbs hurt horribly from pressing so hard in the little creases of the foam to make it all stay down...my thumb nails are bruised...or the skin under the nails...thumbs are quite sore....ok I'm going now...BYE
I love me
THE TOTALLY, FRIGGIN AWESOME MIRANDA

It's just a one bedroom because that's all tony and i need...my cats are there, and i have no washer or dryer, but that's ok, my momma and daddy love me...i only pay $375 a month, and i have to pay for gas...and that's it...awesome for me...........

RED
Well, I would just like to say that I'm in the market for an apartment right now, there is this REALLY spiffy one here in town that I want, I'm waiting for the guy to call me back today or tomorrow to let me know if I get it or not. It'll be totally awesome. And as soon as I get that crap all settled out, this is a picture of the next tattoo I want to get, except instead of purple, it'll be red. Which will be awesome as well. Just thought I'd let you all know, but I'm tired now, so I'm going to bed. GOOD NIGHT

Well then...
Alright, in the wonderful world of Miranda's life, this is what's new since my last blog...I did get a new job, finally, I do work 3rd shift at Titan Plastics, and it's actually pretty fun. MOST of the people don't suck there, only one or 2 bitches...anyways, other than that, Rebecca gave her 30 days notice to her land lord like a day or 2 ago, so I now have less than 30 days to get my own apartment. Which is proving to be kind of difficult...and surprisingly, money isn't quite the problem. I think that these land lords are seeing that I've only been working at Titan for 3 weeks and they are nervous...but I'm sure I'll find something. Rebecca is moving to Bellevue temporarily until Butternut Creek becomes available, so we'll see what's going on with that later. Hopefully everything will work out WITHOUT me having to live in my truck for a day or so.
Oh yeah, speaking of my truck, it kind of died yesterday, whatever is wrong with it (we're still working on that issue) fuel is not getting to my engine. No, it's not the fuel pumps, duh, we just replaced those in the fall. It's not the little plug thing *same idea as a fuse* that send electricity to my fuel pumps, so it could be either the brain, or something else, but I don't remember what my dad said it could be. I forgot. Oh well, I'll get going now, so BYE.

EEK!
I have good news!!! I was looking through the shopping guide on the dining room table this morning, and guess what! I found a bunch of job things on there...so I wrote them down and called one about something that said "Customer Services/General Help $602.50/wk and up no experience needed call for one on one interview" so I know have an interview for tomorrow morning at 10:15 am! And it's in south Lansing, so I wouldn't mind driving there, since it'll be a lot less than what I'm driving now...and plus, I think it said the $602 was just part time so I wouldn't mind working that crap...plus it's a regular day job...which is totally awesome...I am so excited for tomorrow! I'll have to make myself look very pretty!!! YAY!!!
And in other news, nothing. Except for this week at Pizza Hut we're going to be screwed..."Trivor the driver" kind of quit on very short notice so for the next week, he may be scheduled but he's not going to be there at all! SO I'M GOING TO BE SCREWED! Anyways, that's really it. So BYE.

Ouch
Well, today I went biking at Ft. Custer with my dad, it was a lot of fun. I will tell you what we saw:
-we went by a little lake and saw several turtles getting sun on a few logs in the lake, like 8 of them, so I took a picture, and then dad and I took a picture of us on a log by a pretty flowery tree
-we saw a couple of swans in another lake, pretty big ones too
-we saw a snake, both him and me almost ran it over, but we didn't, so we went back and took a picture of that too, it tried to look bigger and scarier by widening it's neck to make itself look more like a cobra or something, I swear that when I went by it the first time it had it's mouth open about to bite me, but it didn't.
-also saw a beaver dam, really big, but didn't see any beavers...kind of wished we would've, that would've been interesting
-once we got off the 2-tracker, which was in the first 15 minutes of riding, we noticed that they had burned all the underbrush, for atleast 2 miles, but since both dad and I were wearing yellow-tinted sunglasses, it didn't look as depressing until we took them off...very black, it was just done a week ago.
Surprisingly, there was next to nobody on the trail, we only passed 2 people with a dog walking, so it didn't slow us down too bad. We took the green loop, mostly, at the beginning, we were on a small part of the red loop with was just the trenches, which is great fun, my favorite small easy part...didn't go near granny's garden or the crazy beaver loop where my tree was or anything like that, but it was a lot of fun, and my butt hurts so I know that it was fun, my legs will hurt tomorrow, my butt worse, but that's ok, because it was a lot of fun. I think my mom was kind of jealous, not just because we were biking, that was only part of it, because my dad was talking to her on his cell phone, and he had said "well it's father-daughter day..." and so I said "if she feel jealous, tell her that if she wants we can go spend time together at the mall or something..." ha yeah ok...maybe some time, but I'd need my own money first, atleast a little bit of it.
well, I'm tired and I want to go sit and read my book or something. I would love to sit on something squishy for a while...not that bike seat.
