Link of the week will be posted tomorrow.

Life’s been fairly interesting. There’s been some commotion about the house about a couple different people. I’m not sure how serious either is.

I’ve been trying to chat only an hour a day. It’s been working as a guideline, but not really as a set in stone thing. Like, yesterday I chatted for two hours, today I chatted for I dunno how long. Though, it’s been a good idea and I’ve been getting more done because of it.

I found out the Morty likes soccer. He loves to run and jump, but I could never get him interested in tetherball. However, kicking a ball around the yard seems to fit right with him! Mind you, he’s not very good at it. Doesn’t know the rules, but he’s possesive of the ball.

I’ve been using stumbleupon a lot, and it’s been dwindling my time as well. Though you do find a lot of interesting stuff! Like, ya know, This Lego Brick Art. Interesting no? Somebody had a lot of time on their hands. You may be finding these in the link of the week now.

I’ve also been watching videos on YouTube with creation evolution debates. They’ve shown to be pretty interesting really. Just look up “creation evolution debate” and you’ll find a slew of stuff.

Anna’s birthday is tomorrow! She’ll be 26. I haven’t gotten her anything though :\ I better find something eh?

OK, that’s everything.

I’m sick now. Yup I’ve accepted it finally. Got a sore throat yesterday, and then did the worst thing in the world: Consumed large amouts of sugar. Not exactly what you’re supposed to do when you’re comming down with something! So, last night I noted a good(bad) swelling in my throat due to this.

This morning I still had a sore throat, and by now my head is, shall we say… Clogged. It’s really not nice. Though I guess it’s “sick season”. I sure hope this doesn’t last long!

On a different note, I sure hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving day. As well as having a great black friday, and so on. Christmas is now on its way, so I guess we should start talking about that! Hope christmas season this year is the best one yet!

later.

Thanksgiving is comming along(yep, I’m skipping halloween). So, I thought I’d make a post about recent things which have come along and are ours to keep.

First of all, you all got your awards(I hope! If not, please contact me!), and I hope you enjoy them.

Second,(back at the ranch) Isaac just bought a spiffy new digital camera! It’s totally cool. I’ll take some pictures soon.

Thirdly, Isaac got a truck. Some of you may have seen pictures of it already.(Go to His Xanga to see pictures.)

Fourth, Yestrday in the mail, there came a surprise for me. It’s a T-shirt with Youth For God 2006 on it! I’ll have to post a pic of that.

That’s all I can think of for the moment. I’ve got some more posts comming

Morty(as I have named him) Seems to be deathly afraid of guns. seeing as, we don’t know who his original owners are, it makes you kindof wonder!

I decided I might as well train him to fetch pigeons as training for fetching ducks. Well, he’s not too fond of that. Even BB guns and Air Softs he’ll run away from. It’s not like we’ve shot him even with rubber bands!

Sily dog….

Good morning everybody! I woke up at 10:00. Let me tell you, I’m nicely rested.

Hmmm what to write about? I need a haircut. I’m not sure but I don’t *think* I wanna look like a hippy all winter really! Or even a… Skateboarder!

Well, today’s saturday. You know what that means? Something very special. Did you know that every saturday is almost totally different from the previous one? It’s true. ^_^ It’s sortof a law of change Every saturday(sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday,t hurday, friday) is different from the previous saturday(sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday). Cool huh?

Did I mention that Rebecca got a truck? Yep she did. It’s not new but it works. Ok so it’s not really a truck, it’s a toyota PICKUP. Big difference.

Andy hasn’t been by but once this week. He wasn’t feeling good that time either. Hope he’s alright! He needs prayer though.

You know what? Mary and Isaac went all the way to wear the brown stuff grows(well, I guess it’s green, then red, then green…), and didn’t bring any home!! NO COFFEE! The most haitian things they brought home was gourdes(pronounce:goods). The bills and coins are funky. Almost as funky as their Tap Taps. Ok not quite…

I’m not sure what else to write about. BYE!

Well, I woke up this morning at like 10. Kinda late but I was still tired! I’d stayed up until 12 though. Anyways, This morning The power was out AGAIN and guess what happened? A squirell chewed through the wires on the main transformer in town and blew the transformer! LOL So yeah, When I tried putting through some laundry this morning, the thing wouldn’t start!

Mary and Isaac are Leaving tomorrow morning! Prayers would be most apreciated for the trip. Their flight leaves at 10:00 AM. I don’t know if all of us are going down there or not.

Grandma and Grandpa got here yesterday and came over today. Tomorrow they’re gonna go down to the airport to see Mary and Isaac off, then go to the kopper kitchen to eat and get served by Rebecca and Rachel.

Does this post sound muddled to you?

Strangest thing in the world…. I got banned from Yahoo IM, MSN IM, AOL IM, ICQ IM, Gtalk IM and all the other IM’s(must have something against me!) in the entire world for a whole month!! Well, ok, so not quite a whole month. One month minus one day! Gee what’s their problem??

Well, I’ll tell ya. They were just taking up too much of my time! So, what happened? I banned myself from Chatting for One Month minus one day. Starting the 17th, ending the 16th. The Purpose: Free up time, and get more done.

I’ll have more time for working, more time for posting(oh hoorah right?), and more time for doing whatever else!

So, in other words: I’m Self-Grounded.

More posts to come soon!

And now, the sequel to my previous post.

Uncle Dan is comming up for a visit! He’ll be here ummm either today or tomorrow! Then, on Wednesday through Friday, we’re gonna go up to Cascade Lake and have a sorta campout thing, with Grandma and Grandpa and all us! It’ll be fun.

Other Plans? Hmmm I don’t remember. Still have some reading to do. Need to get some work done, and yeah, the usual!

see y’all!

Not very far, but I’m posting anyway!

Let’s seee…. What was my last update about? err well I mean, my last Everyday kinda update!

Ah Ha! Back when Micah came for his visit! Hmmm that was a while ago! Since then ummm *whacks head* Lots but not too much has been happening. Sarah went back to Washington, and is back now, staying in Idaho pretty much permenant.

Also, Our cousins(3rd, and his kids so 4th, and their mom so 3rd in-law.), whom we(all us kids) had never met before!(Dad knew Dennis, his cousin, does that make him a 2nd or 3rd cousin??) There’s 5 kids in their family, they’re homeschooled, conservative and musical. They all loved my chess set too. We Played Settlers of Catan with the boys. They decided it was a fun game! We played tetherball some that night, and I won all but one games. Dennis beat me! And then they left until morning, and we made swedish pancakes. They were good! After breakfast, we all talked some, and then exchanged addresses(email and real) and Phone numbers. Then they went on the road again.

Since then, Rebecca cut back to three days a week at her job, Isaac got three credits for taking the CLEP test for history of the united states, and I read about three chapters in A Patriot’s History of the United States (they’re long chapters).

Well, I don’t know if I left out anything (Rachel? Mary?), but I guess that’ll do for now

ttyl!

OK, so, if any of you were maybe wondering where I’ve been today… I worked today. You see, it all started this morning(as most days do) when Mary made her way up to our room to tell Isaac he had a call. Well, that call just happened to be Joe who, had just gotten a load of board to drill, last minute, with no drillers to do them! So, he asked Isaac but, Isaac was heading off for a men’s campout with Grandpa and Dad today, tomorrow and the next, so he couldn’t help much. So, he asked me but I wasn’t sure quite yet(I’d just woke up come on!). So, he said no for now, but I decided I might as well, later. So, once I decided yes, Mary got a hold of James and asked him if he wanted to. He decided to as well.

So, I guess to rap things up on that, worked for 4 hours. I made about $30, James made about $50(He’s drilled a lot longer than me). After we got done with that, Joe and his Family took us over to Anna and Caleb’s for Zeke’s 1st Birthday Party!(yes! He’s already one!) James and I got a shower before we did much(bee shop always gets ya covered in dirt). In all it was a good day. I’m tired :).
