A song

Do I miss you?
Yes I do, Yes I do,
I miss you and I'm feeling blue
Yes, indeed I do.

Do I love you?
Yes I do, Yes I do,
I love you and I keep it true,
Yes, indeed I do.

Do I dream you?
Yes I do, Yes I do,
I dream you when I wake anew
Yes, indeed I do.

Tomorrow, will I love you still?
Yes I will, Yes I will,
I'll love you more than words can fill,
Yes, indeed I will.

The End of the Weekend

This weekend was a very incredibly wonderful and special one, thanks to all my friends who came to my birthday party and celebrated with me and Tom who spent the weekend keeping me company. Things are sure to ease off now, but at least I'll have the memories from this weekend! Yay hooray!

On the road today I saw some baby horses (I know they're called foals) and they were so very cute. Also, we had a killer frog sighting this morning.

I'm going to go and read one of my new books now.

Much love to all.

Oh...my...gosh

Oh my gosh. In 33 minutes I will be 20. Help me!!! I won't be a teenager any more!!!

I'm listening to Baba O'Reilly (Teenage Wasteland) for the last few times that it will apply to me.

AUGH!

Today stinks

Today was very stinky. A bunch of non-fun, non-cool, disappointing stuff happened.

-Frantic change of plans because my mom wrote down the wrong DAY to take my grandmother to the airport. Disappointment ensues because of plans that were supposed to happen tomorrow but now won't since the airport trip was moved to today.
-Painters are doing the doors so they are all open and flies have taken advantage and decided to buzz all over. I put away all the food but they're still there...buzzing...
-Honeycomb tangled with a wet brush and now has a streak of gray paint down his back.
-I smacked my forehead a good one on an open cabinet door.
-Mini-fight with the mater over backseat driving. I will never win.
-My last day as a teenager.

Oh well. At least I have tomorrow to look forward to!

YAY TODAY IS WONDERFUL!!!!

YAY!!!! GUESS WHAT TODAY I GOT TWO PIECES OF MAIL A POSTCARD FROM MY TOM AND A BIRTHDAY CARD FROM MY AWESOME COUSIN ANN!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!! PLUS WE ARE HAVING PIZZA FOR DINNER TONIGHT!!!

Ok, letting up on the caps. Anywho, I am super excited and it is really fabulous and today I had lunch with my Gretch-Fletch which is also awesome!

It is now time to reveal my secret party plans.

Guest List:
-You!!!!!
-Other people!!!

Activities:
-Blowing Bubbles
-Playing hopscotch and drawing on the driveway
-Eating
-Playing battle of the backyard with little green army men
-Watching movies

There will also be a brownie ice-cream cake (sure to send Ruth into culinary ecstasies)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know you want to be there to celebrate my quarter-life crisis. According to Gretchen, all of the planned activities are a direct result of me being in denial of my age and maturity.

I, however, think she's crazy. After all, who played tag at her 16th birthday party?

Lucky and Honeycomb, aka The Butts 

Today's schedule

1. Finish cleaning up my bathroom (i.e. organizing various drawers)
2. Go to lunch with Gretchen (WOOHOO)
3. Take a nap???
4. Plan for the party (which is only three days away, and only 2 more days until THURSDAY)
5. Play with the butts (That's them up there)
6. Do more stuff, I guess.

My life is not very interesting.

This is FOR TOM!!!! 

The frog attack that (nearly) occurred

So today, I was minding my own business, approaching the pond to poke at the fish (hey, I never actually touch them), talking to my mom about the butts, when suddenly - THE KILLER FROG THAT LIVES IN MY POND JUMPED FROM THE ROCKS INTO THE WATER!

Yes. I know. That means it was really close to me! Scary, right?



BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!!!!!!!

Oh no. Then, I went to look at the fish in the water and it swam up from the bottom and LOOKED AT ME. RIGHT IN THE EYE.

Then I yelled so it went back down.

I almost got attacked by that frog. I shouldn't have named him Ajax. I think it gave him a warrior instinct.

Today

Today is beautiful, sunny, and temperate, which means good mood! Not much to report, just very excited for my birthday party that will somehow, hopefully, end up being a mini-Disney Diva reunion. I am so excited! I cannot wait! Woohoo, woohoo!
On another, more sucky note, my dad is going to India tomorrow.
On another, more sucky note, I miss my Tom and all my girls in AA, OH, IN, IO, and IL.
On another, more upbeat note, I got new piano books from the library yesterday! Yay new music!

Night

I...am...lonely.

Check out the sweet rainbow over Thunder Bay. 

This is Tom, practicing his high step next to an old blind in a stand of birch trees. 

Thumbs up! Me by a deer blind (which I now have seen and looked inside of). 

Look at that huge mushroom! (It's the blobby white thing in the corner) 

I am a tree-hugger at heart. 

Hi Tom standing on the bridge over the "crick"!!! 

Look at the sweet ducks!!! 

Bernie's back

Well, Bernie's back from her adventure "up nort". It was such a fun weekend! I did many cool things such as visited two museums, tramped around in the woods, took pictures of ducks, saw a rainbow, ate brownie ice-cream cake, watched tv, kicked Tom's ass at pool (lovingly, of course), listened to classic rock, and slept. This entry will consist mostly of pictures, for although I am a writer, "A picture is worth a thousand words."
