i'm the first one to comment! (bleh. we have guests over tonight. they're sleeping in our room. so we have to sleep downstairs. yucky basement! *shudders*) luke, yes. it was more of a family thing. we're not allowed to get our ears pierced until we're 14! hannah: i figured i'd do my response to your blog here: (your tag that is) ok, my middle name is rose. for those of you who can't read sideways-down-like. but these facts are probably all already known to the public. (seeing as i'm in a kind of sickish mood and not feeling well, so i'm not going to think of anything clever.) sorry if that all didn't make sense. i'm not in a grammar mood tonight. anyway... Really hate clowns, okay? don't even mention them. i am just terrified of them. next subject... Oranges rock. (not as much as bananas but that's another post) Sherlock Holmes *used* to rock. but i read his mysteries again...and...i don't know... Everybody thinks i'm germaphobic. i'm not! *sanitizes keyboard* really i'm not! *offers hand sanitizer* there you go. good thing i don't have a long middle name like caracatacatus potts or something. i'd die. *is not coherent* me thinks madeline is watching or waiting for me to come and watch movie so away go to now or about never not not...uh...0_o goodnight!

Hope you had fun down there in Kentucky. :) And actually, it won't really be a small doggy. She's a Standard poodle, so even though she's a puppy now she'll get pretty big. And her name's Daisy!!!!!! That's the best part! ^_^ Well, here's to another school week. May I survive. :P

ugh! i used to think you could just google any old question that popped into your head. (like, why do wolves howl at the moon? how come the moon turns kinda orangish sometimes? how am i expected to keep all five of my younger siblings in line while my parents are gone. etc. etc.) but now i know better: i was pretending to listen to our family discussion on...on...hmm. i guess i really wasn't paying attention. lol j/k. :P anyway...i was flipping myself upside down when i started to yawn. i sat up of course, but just as i finished yawning it occurred to me: is it possible to yawn when you're upside down? so i naturally googled it. well! ha! all of googledom had absolutely no information about it. i was disappointed in them. but did that stop me? no! i went to answers.com and they said, quote! : "Looks like your question stumped us!" gah...so then i went to ask.com. same dif. then i i sat miserably slumped in my chair i started thinking of all the other questions i had thought of that google did not have the answer to: is it possible to yawn when you're upside down? why does your saliva dissolve meat but not your tongue? who is tom adav? what would happen if i took all the static in the world, held it for ransom, and then became an evil overlord? *sighs* and i used to think google was all-knowing. *sighs again* p.s. i have a cut on my foot. i've no idea how it got there. but i can take comfort knowing google doesn't either.

Luke, glad to see that you're alive... you should see if you can escape long enough to bring a car load to the youth rally... first weekend in November. Alexandra, you are SO ODD. =P But how would they know who Tom Adav is? Hope you're feeling better soon... and weren't consumed by cockroaches... ^_^

they also don't know where the lights come from. but that's okay. because i don't even know where the lights come from. oh yeah. we went to the store and they had 10,984 crayons there!! :O but those were only the crayola ones. as we were about to leave, i saw a stack of even more crayons just sitting in the toy section. i wanted to count them, but mama wanted to finish shopping. i offered to stay behind to count and catch up with them later, but they voted no to that. :(

Remind me again who is daisy? Anyways hope she feels better and she has our prayers ;) On a complete tangent (more or less) School starts on Thursday morning at the college :D :D I'm so ready for the college experience (the new friends, experiences and learning not the partying, alcohol, and trouble making ;) ) That being said I plan to make my Christianity pretty easy to read when I get there ;) My mom says I should find some Christian oriented groups that have "clubs" in my hobby areas. I think it's worth a try ;)

Hannah, if you had typed that, I would have laughed so hard. XD Good luck Luke! Nice to see you're having fun! :) Guess what? Me and Alexandra helped serve lunch at the nursing home today, and there was a lady there who was 103 years old, and her mind was still perfectly sharp! It was pretty cool.

I heard they can actually be nice, but most people just raise them wrong and it's usually on purpose :( I'm writing my first essay for online English!! Has to be 3-4 pages :o I'm only used to 1 page writing so this might be a stretch. We had to write on a reflective topic, so I picked my first day on the college campus :D

Hey Luke, hope the paper goes well! My friend (Joni, for Madeline and Alexandra's information) was told to write a paper. He asked if there was a limit, and was told no. I forget how long it ended up being, but he was told that actually, there WAS a limit. Reverse problem of yours!!!

in other news, i'm still mad at you hannah. but i'm even madder at our compy. i wanted to e-mail you and it ate my e-mail! >:( but on a lighter note: i just came back from boyscoutish popcorn selling with ethan. you know, the door to door, walking in the hot sun, getting chased by dogs, having to turn and come all the way back home for bathroom breaks kinda thing. anyway...ethan was such a trooper. even when he got really tired and thirsty. by the end of it i was doing most of the selling and talking, but i saw that coming. at one point we were relatively near the hospital. ethan wanted to stop in and say hi to daddy, but i told him it would take too long. i told him it was a 10 minute walk. ethan chuckled to himself and muttered something about daddy walking. i asked him if that was hard to picture. he said yes. (i got a kick out of that :P) but then i asked him why. he said he couldn't picture daddy's beard and mustache! then he said he could, but he couldn't get the color quite right! :P

Sep. 29, 2007 - Haha.

Posted by Madeline

Hard to picture the right color? :P When my turn came to take the little guy out more than half of our people weren't home. Ethan said they were afraid of my beauty and so wouldn't open the door. :P Gotta love little brothers, lol.

Ethan really is funny. That's a little disturbing, though! Maybe he needs a picture of your family so that he doesn't forget that kind of stuff! ^_^
