First My Fishies, Then My Hamster, Now Achenar...

My brother Brian was hunting or sniping or something...I really dunno what...and he somehow aquired a baby rabbit. Just a little bitty thing with its eyes not even opened yet! So damn cute! And anyway, they had been keeping it on the stove in a skillet ( yes, this is odd). Seeing as to how my poor little hamster died, I now had a vacancy in my living room for something else small and furry. So they gave me the bunny (as I'm going "Oh cute! What is it? A bunny? Oh yes, I see it. It's so cute! I'll name him Achenar!Now...what the HELL am I supposed to do with this thing???"). I took him home, gave him milk, lots of loving, and a daddy (Ty's family raises bunnies, so I thought he might be a good asset to the family). Unfortunately, he only lived 30 some hours under my care. I don't feel terribly responsible though. The encyclopedia mentioned that most infant bunnies do not live into adulthood. If they did, the world would be overrun with bunnies (CUTE!!). After all, according to a show on Animal Planet, "Rabbits have a talent of making more rabbits."

Maybe it's for the best though. After all, the encyclopedia also stated that "The domestic rabbit is almost entirely harmless."

Not terribly reassuring...

The Lone Surviror!

So a few weeks ago, Ty was helping me dust, and he picked this small, black, bumpy, and shiveled object up and turns to me and goes "what is this?" I had never, in my 20 years of living in that house, seen it before. We decided it looked almost entirely like a burnt pickle, and so I went and woke my dad up to ask him. It was...

...here is its story...


Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western side of Hayti lies a Grocery store. Right exactly in this spot, many years ago, there used to be a grocery store...*dramatic pause for laughing*...but it burnt down. In the pile of rubbish was a pickle, burnt to a crisp but still clinging to what life it had in it. That pickle is now in our home, sitting amoungst cat figurines and old things on a bookshelf.

Don't Worry...I'm NOT Pregnant

I don't think, anyway. But I have really been thinking lately about what I would name my kids if I were asked to do it RIGHT NOW with NO REGARD to what the father said. I don't know what Daniel thinks of these names, except for Damian, which we have already decided to be the name of our first son.

Since I want, at most, 4 kids, and there is no way to determine if they will be boys or girls, I am trying to think of 4 names for each gender. here's my current favorites:


Boy Names
Damian
Jayden
Tarin
Kaden
Cole
Girl Names
Shaeleigh
Cadence
Tayah
Kira
Trinity

This Shit Is Bananas....

So ya, the other day I was outside in my yard with Crystal, and Kyle drove by in his mom's truck. He slowed down a little and yelled to me that he passed his driving test. I congratulated him and before I could ask him if his mom was still mad at me, or if I could be sent to jail for talking to him, he was passed. I was uber excited tho, 'cuz jus seeing him and knowing that he wasn't mad at me really relieved me. Every time I saw him around town, he would not acknowledge my presence. I had been so worried because it's one thing for Maggie to be mad, however rashly and unreasonably she arrived at her conclusions. But for her to turn all her kids against me (as she seems to have done with the two little ones) is ridiculous...I am consoled by the thought that if the little ones ignore me, it is by request from their mom, for they can't understand what's going on. I won't take it personally. But Kyle is old enough and independent enough to make his own decisions, and he doesn't seem to blame me for any trouble he may have gotten into. At least he is rational and can realize that I didn't do or say anything to make it appear as though we had done something. Why would I do that? I'm the one who would be S.O.L. He would be the "victim". But anyway, enough of this. It's retarded. But Kyle doesn't hate me, and equipped with that knowledge, life can now go on.

You Seek The Power Of The Jedi, Potter.

That was a random quote from my fiance...I forced him to watch five minutes of Harry potter and the Sorcerer's Stone with me :)

HARRY POTTER YEAR 6 COMES OUT ON THE 16TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Anyway, my fiance, Daniel, is so cute...the other day, we were goin down this road in Watertown and there was this sign that said "Road Closed Ahead". When you looked straight ahead, however, it was evident that the road was not only closed, but had been blocked by the V.F.W Building. THERE WAS NO ROAD!!! You had the choice to turn right or left, but you could not go straight. So Daniel's like "Well no wonder it's closed! They put the damn V.F.W. Building in the way! Assholes..."
