Turkey

I worked wednesday and then helped clean and get stuff ready for thanksgiving when I got home. Thursday we cooked and cleaned and the family came over, except for the one from st. Paul because it was snowing. We had lot of turkey and pie and stuffing and sweet potatoes and I signed some copies of my book. I was so tired this morning I drank like four soda pops at work. I went to see that new Harry potter movie with my cousins. The movie was good. We stopped at target as well but they were completely sold out of all their copies of Lord of the Rings. So was target. I've had such a craving to see those movies too. I guess that's on my christmas list.

New Kitchen

Worked Sunday, had yesterday and today off. Slept in yesterday and went with dad to town and we bought soda pop at kmart. The guys from lowes came out today and installed the new kitchen cabinets and countertops. It looks nice and now it's all done in time for thanksgiving. I got to go to town and pick up lunch and sink parts. I also got to help install the new kitchen sink. It wasn't too hard but I think I prefer being a linguist to a plumber. I also finished reading Sharpe's Enemy. Even though it had a sad ending it was still pretty good and besides, the bad guy was definetly killed this time so I won't have to worry about him coming back anymore. I had to shovel the deck and there was two feet of snow out there. I'm gonna miss the snow in Texas. Here's a picture of the back trail from when I went skiing the other day.

Boring Week

Not much happened this week. Worked a few days, watched tv, did some reading, dad bought a new fridge that doesn't work. We should have a new kitchen by thanksgiving. I went skiing the other day. All that snow. I'm gonna miss it when I'm in Texas.

Casino Weekend

I was going to drive myself down to hinkley to meet J. but my ma was worried about the snow, there was quite a lot of it and the power was out, so she decided to drive me herself and silver crow came too. They left to go home right away but I stayed the night with J and her folks at the hotel. J finished up the last picture and we went for a swim in the pool. I blew all my money at the shooting gallery in the arcade because the pinball machine was broken and that was the only other game I'm any good at. I won some candy, a pair of earrings, a deck of cards, and a plastic heart. I gambled my found penny voucher in the casino and lost. Whatever happened to those ones where you could pop in a quarter and crank on a big handle and watch the thing spin and if you got three in a row you know you won? That's all I wanted. Something simple. Everything was just too complicated, too many lights, too many lines and pictures, too many different ways to pay that only involved whole bill denominations and vouchers, and cards, and no spare change at all. At least we got dinner at the nice buffet. After that we went to the room and watched tv and J worked on book stuff. This morning we got breakfast and then J did more book work. She lost her voice cuz she caught a cold. After that we watched her dad play blackjack in the casino while we waited for my maunta to come pick me up. We stopped at barnes and noble and then ma came over to maunta's house and we made tacos for supper. Little Nellie cat liked me and matchka liked me but didn't want me to know it. I got home and dad said how the monster cat ripped the whole screen door off it's hinges, and it was a brand new one too. The cat is being wild but I'm too tired to chase her so I'm going to bed.

Unpunctual Snow

The weather guys said it was supposed to snow around ten but it didn't start until eleven thirty. Shows how punctual they are right? I was inspired to write a poem so I scribbled it on the back of a carwash slip. The poem is called The Legend of Lost Lake Swamp and it can be read on White Fox:Silver Crow and on on my page at fifteen minutes of fiction. It's inspired by the time my dad was at the shack and him and the beagle got charged by a wolf who then ran off when my dad yelled at it. Enjoy.

Pumpkin Pie

Worked on wednesday. Worked on Thursday. Went with the folks for dinner at the china buffet last night. Slept in today. Watched tv, did some reading, went for a jog. I finally got my laundry folded. Went to town and bought groceries. Made caserol for dinner and pumpkin pie with a grahm cracker crust and homemade whipped cream for dessert. I was even going to whip it by hand but ma got impatient halfway through and broke out the electric mixer. Turned out pretty good anyway.

Hyper Inflation

I'm freaking out because I started the day with sixty dollars and now all I have is eighty-seven cents. I didn't even do all that much. I bought gas, lunch, and a couple movie tickets and popcorn. Sure, the gas was twenty-five bucks, the lunch was six, the movie tickets eighteen, and popcorn and soda eleven. That does add up to sixty. And I thought Glenn beck said we had a while yet before the hyper inflation hit. I'm really gonna freak when the small bottles of milk hit twenty dollars a piece. Man, I really hope dad and grandma don't chew me out for blowing all the money they gave me in one night. I love you guys! I really need to find friends with their own money, and a boyfriend who pays for eveything. That way I'll still have at least half my money left after a night out, maybe all of it. At least that megamind movie was good. Not sure if it was worth two tickets. L. G. is totally buying next time. Also, I saw this cat hat at target but I didn't get it. I don't think monster would let me put it on her.

More Books

I left my check at home when I went to work today so I had to drive all the way back to town as soon as I got home. I decided to pick up a frozen pizza for supper while I was in town. I watched some tv when I got home. Dad still hasn't killed me anything yet. My books came in the mail. Turns out that banjo Patterson was a print on demand public domain thing copied from a vetrinary school library copy. Why a vet school had a copy of Australian poetry I don't know but I'm glad they did or I might not have been able to find a copy anywhere else. I also got the next three Sharpe books. As soon as I'm done with the Lord of the Rings I'm reading another sharpe book. It's like they're chocolate or something, when I have them I can't stop and when I don't have them I crave more. Which reminds me, I should make some hot chocolate tomorrow. Nothing says happy like a day off, a roaring fire, a pot of hot chocolate, and a stack of good books.

The Claw

Work today was a boring as ever, the only interesting this was that the coffee maker broke and one kid showed up an hour early because he didn't know about daylight savings time. I made taco salad out of leftover shredded roast beef when I got home. Funny, it looked great but I have a feeling it tasted better on tv. I made it through chapter six in the Lord of the Rings. I guess my brother was right, the movies left out a lot of stuff. I still think the soundtrak was epic though. Also, enjoy this picture of The Claw I took last week. I bet those guys win all the Teddy bears.

Puck

Work yesterday was hectic with all the hunters coming through. I looked up more tinwhistle music online when I got home. Everyone buy me was out. I was so tired at work today. I had to stop and get cheetos and something for my irn bru on the way home. Maunta came over and made roast beef. It was good. We all watched tv and maunta silver crow made me read my book out loud. She wanted me to add a verse explaining who Puck was. I said if Shakespeare never had to explain obscure references about dead Romans to his audience I shouldn't have to explain a reference to the most famous fairy on the planet. Let anyone who doesn't know look it up and thereby deliver themselves from literary ignorance. Anyway, I'm going to bed.

A Jog With the Dog

Went for a jog with the dog this morning and watched some tv. My James bond book finally got interesting with only seventy pages to go. I went to the bookstore with dad but they didn't have the one I wanted. We had beef potroast for dinner and I think I ate too much. I got two loads of laundry washed and dried today. At least my work shirt will be clean for tomorrow. I work all weekend.

Puss in Boots

After sleeping in I made a tv dinner and watched Howard the Duck on tv. Then I watched the food network untill dad sent me to town in the truck to check his rail cars. He had to stay home because the installer guys were here putting in a new deck door. I got a chilli dog and a roast beef sandwich for lunch in town. I watched Beauty and the Beast and Puss in Boots when I got home. They were old eighties flicks I got on sale at kmart. I wish that Disney would release beauty and the beast on DVD but all they have is that stupid blue ray combo pack. I do not want to have to buy a blue ray player, even though they say they're backwards compatible not all of them play regular DVDs. I thought that halloween candy would last longer but we're all out and I really want a chocolate bar.

Partridge Soup

Worked day shift again Monday. Watched tv and did some reading. The Lord of The Rings is much better this time around, course that could be because I saw the movies and know what to expect. I know it's wednesday officially but since I worked night shift it still counts as Tuesday to me. It was election day today. Dad was so excited to vote he showed up two hours early and was dissapointed when all the judges ran unppposed and the guy he wanted to vote for was in another district. I went to town and grabbed a bite to eat with L. G. We swung by the mall after and I got a battery power toothbrush on sale for five bucks. Her boyfriend wanted her to pick up mcdonald's and it was so busy I had time to read an entire chapter in my James Bond book before I went looking for her. I worked night shift and ma brought me some partridge soup dad made, after I called and reminded her of course. I don't think it quite agreed with me because I got all crampy and sick feeling. The other gal said I might be alergic like her dad who always gets terrible stomach gas after eating poultry. At least I have the next two days off to recover.
