Half'n'Half

[msmoon]

Hey Minna. Today was...huge. Mom woke me up at 7:47, I remember the time exactly, 'cause I remember waking up and thinking "Heh, that's the name of a plain..."

Mom informed me that she and Dad were going to the Doc's office so Dad could get some blood work done. She said after that they'd come home and pick me up so I could go fill out an application at Target while they were in town. I really don't like waking up early without ample warning. I also am not too crazy about having my day told to me, before I have time to switch off the auto pilot. So I just nodded processing the info while fixing my breakfast.

I ate, two chocolate chip Ego Waffles, smothered in Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup, with a glass of ice cold chocolate milk. For some reason I'm a chocolate freak in the morning. My favorite breakfasts include chocolate chip ego’s, Chocolate pop tarts, and Coco Pebbles.

Anyway, I ate, and got ready, then I put on a load of towels. I listened to music while waiting around for Mom and Dad. They got here and we got the grocery lists together and headed to the Dollar Store. Mom bought what she could there and then we headed to Lowe's.

Our mower—which is this wonderful little John Deer, that we've had since I was...7? —has been eating up belts like there's no tomorrow. We have to buy new belts every time we mow the lawn. Sometimes twice. So Mom and Dad saw a mower sale in the paper from a Lowe's add and figured they'd price the mowers and see which was the best deal. Well the mower that was the cheapest was $998.99 I think, and it was used, but had a year warrantee on it. But after pricing mowers all over town, Dad and Mom decided to get that mower.

Then we went to Burger King and ate. We went to Wal Mart after that and bought nearly $200.00 worth of stuff. Nothing is cheap these days. But Dad got me a watch that is something that I've been wanting for a while. And I actually got something that I really wanted. It's a digital face watch, the numbers are sort of angled, and it has time, date, works like an Eight Ball, and has a screen saver, O.o. It's not a screen saver you can program, but it's still kind of cute.

After that we swung by Hollywood Video and I preordered a VHS copy of The Lord of the Rings. I could only put $5.00 down now, so I put the rest of the money in a secret part of my purse. I'm gonna have to remember it on August 6th though...

After that we went home and I cooked Old Fashion Manicotti. Somewhere, between the time I started cooking to the time I finished, UPS showed up and delivered my DreamWeaver 4 and Mom's two books that I ordered her. Of course UPS, drives up sees two cars in the drive way, the windows open a man out in his shed singing and sounds of laughter and cooking from inside the house and they say to themselves "Guess no body's home. No need to knock." Left the package at the door and Mom and I didn't even hear him/her. But anyway, I've been coming back to the computer and fooling around with DreamWeaver since then.

I haven't seen my Twin-san, but she's been having to work on her studies a lot lately so I can understand that. I just hope she's healthy and all. School work can really make people sick.

Mom and I watched Gilmore Girls, Thomas walked in 1/3rd of the way through, and told us he'd been applying for jobs all over the place. Good thing since Mom and Dad had been worried about him. Gilmore Girls was awesome this week. Thought it kills me that they're just gonna leave us like this. Oh well, it's how they keep us.

Got some E-mails from Chibi, which is great since I've really missed her. She said she's gonna have to ask her mom when I can come over. I told her I'm free Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. If she gets back to me soon enough I'll see her either tomorrow or the next day.

Well now I'm hungry and really tired, so I'm gonna go eat and then head for bed. That's all she wrote Minn.
