Goodbye Thanksgiving, Hello Christmas!

Actually, most people started gearing up for Christmas right after Halloween, but some of us did enjoy our Thanksgiving... especially those of us who made it home!

I know it was awfully selfish of me to spend all my time with my family and not to post when I actually had Internet. Sorry.

In other good news, my illegal status has been resolved. You were right, Jason!

(Nothing to do with music downloads, Derek.)

Why?

Why don't people like country music?

Imagine it is 9 November 2007

I bet you thought I missed your birthday, didn't you, Melinda? Nope! I was just waiting this long to give an EXTRA BIG Happy 15th Birthday!!

I know you'd want me to share some of your words of wisdom with the world. Unfortunately, I just can't find more than one single quote in my notebook from 2004, but it has held true for these three years and I expect it will do so for another decade at least.

"Timers never lie. They just lay."

13 years old!

Happy birthday to Carolyn, the newest teenager in the family! Here are pictures from Mommy's blog.

I cannot believe you are 13 years old!

In honor of Carolyn's birthday.... She would voluntarily sleep on a mattress on the floor and risk getting stepped all over, just to give me a bed when I came home on break. She potty-trained Trevor. That alone deserves some kind of Big Sister's Nobel Prize. She is just about the sweetest girl in the world who can still fight fiercely in her brothers' war games. And she definitely inherited Ardith's speed-reader genes. She can polish off one of the LOTR volumes in one or two days.

9 days to go

I got stabbed! That should be good news for my family.

So now can I come home for Christmas?

Why?

Along with all the deep philosophical questions you can get out of that word, I have another one:

Why should I buy the CD when I can download all the songs free off the Internet?

The only problem I can think of would be how to listen to them in the car, which isn't a problem if your car doesn't have a CD player.
