Dear Readers,
I’m typing this on dad’s old laptop just like yesterday, but unlike yesterday. I’m typing it right into my blog editor. I’m outside so if my spelling isn’t great or the setup of the sentence structure is way off it would be because I can’t see the screen.
We had a very nice day today so far. Crystal and I decieded to stay at the condo while Mom and Dad go to Mom’s sister, Sharon’s house. Before mom and dad left we, mom, and and I, walked, worked out, and swam. I’m about ready for a nap.
Crystal has spent much of her time doing her favorite thing to do on vacation, watch tv. I can’t say I’ve really done much more besides the morning exercise each day. I had good intentions of reading a lot, but so far that hasn’t happend.
The weather down here has been worse than Ohio weather this year. Sunny one minute and raining just the next. I never really know what to expect. We walked in the sun, exersied in the sun, and swam in the rain.
Well, that’s all for this battery, I’ll write more tomorrow.

Dear Readers,
I’ve had a busy two weeks. I had a wonderful graduation party. I then spent all week getting ready for our trip to TN. I had a really nice graduation at CHEO. I’m really glad I did it even though I didn’t want to do it. We left right from the graduation for TN. We got in to the condo about 1:30 AM this morning. I’m still a little sleepy since I’ve only had 12 hours of sleep in the last 48.
I’m going to try to write a few posts this week since I have plenty of time to write blogs. I also think that you guys deserve more time since I see you all check this site a lot more than I write on it.
I have already read one book on tape, Alice in Wonderland. I have Through the Looking Glass, Chronicles of Narnia, and Pilgrims Progress. I brought lots of paper books too but I’m not sure how much reading I’m going to do.
Well, that’s all for now I guess.

Dear Readers,
With the ending of spring comes the end of the SRT challenge. I didn’t finish all the books on it regretfully. Here’s a page that contains my list http://www.lostthem.net/?page_id=262 the ones that are done are marked with a “*.” I read a few more books that were not on this list since I didn’t include any books I had to do for school on the list.
I attended a senior recitial last evening. I had never been to one before. It was very nicely done and the talent was amazing.
I really don’t have much more to say. I’m going back to read Dawn’s Light since I didn’t get it done last night. I was hoping I would since it was still spring until 12.
I guess that’s all for now.

Dear Readers,
I have kept busy this week by reading the rest of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and help with a garage sale that my good friend down the street was having. I put out some stuff and made $51 in 3 days. I could have made more in that time doing something else but I haven’t so far.
I’m really wanting to find a job. Sadly, I’m so undecided about what I’m going to do with my life to the point that I can’t seem to really put my heart into getting a job. I would really like to work for a Christian, but that hasn’t stopped me from looking in workplaces that aren’t Christian. I also have the tripping stone that I don’t have a diploma yet. I won’t have one until the 28th.
I’m starting to get nervous about the graduation. I really don’t like being the center of attention, even shared attention. I still have to go clothes shopping, which I hate. I don’t like to dress up, if I don’t have to do it.
I had a really bad today with the sound at the church. Dad ask me to run the music from recordings I had done, because we didn’t have a piano player. I did get all but four of them to work right. Sunday night we decided to just go without. Dad started them out on the piano and they did a really good job. L.T. really has a ear for music so he was really helpful keeping the songs on key all the way through.
I didn’t swim as much this past week. We has too many cooler days and a few stormy ones. I did walk quite a bit though. I also rode my bike instead of driving since gas has risen so much lately.
Dad and I went to Wal * Mart today and bought a scheduled thermostat. I hope it helps lower my electric bill since I can’t remember to turn it down during the day.
I get to go with Mom, Dad and Crystal to TN after my graduation the 28th. We are going down to the Condo for the week we have allotted. We’re also planning on going to the Cousins reunion this year in Indiana. I missed going last year. I can’t wait to try out my newer camera where there will be room to use my longest lens. I also have a telephoto lens which is really neat for close up shots. I have had the camera and lenses for a whole year but I haven’t really ever had room to use the long lens.
I guess that’s all I have to say right now. I will write more soon, I hope.

Dear Readers,
Sorry, I haven’t been as regular as I was during school. I’m searching for a job unsuccessfully. I just finished a resume that I hope will help.
I’ve been taking more pictures again. It might actually be a good thing since I had sorta hit an uninspired period for about the last 10 months. I’m going to post a few of my favorite ones.
They all straightened there hair for this picture.
The view up Link Drive from my front door.
The view looking down Mika’s road.
Crystal having fun at Homecoming 2008 our 50th years as a Wesleyan Church.
Crystal giving her prose speech at homecoming. I hadn’t heard if in a few months and was very impressed with it’s polished sound.
Molly enjoying the warm weather we have been having.
Not sure exactly how that media upload feature works.
I hope these don’t take to long to load for those of you with dial up but I thought they were worth sharing.
I wrote last time about how chilly the pool was well it’s warmed up. It’s been about 72 most of this past week.
We had our annual homecoming at the church this past Sunday and that’s where the pictures of Crystal are from.
Well, I’m not thinking of anything to write so I guess I’ll quite.
