Just for, like, your information and stuff, you should like, totally watch this, you know?

Voiceless

I've lost my voice. Several things combined caused this, but at any rate, it's gone. And it's not funny, though my family seems to think so. It's been quite interesting for me, though, to see how much I really don't need to respond to during the course of a day. And I haven't had any conflicts. The things I always though I needed to respond to really aren't worth it. But, I'm pretty sure I could have learned that without losing my voice. So maybe it'll be back soon???

My marathon week is over. I think for the first time in several weeks I've actually been able to stay home for an entire day! so exciting. What isn't exciting is that I started seiously studying for the American Government CLEP. Not fun. I read 64 pages before it put me to sleep, and I'll probably have to re-read the last 4 or so...depending on when I mentally checked out of what I was reading. It is so hard to read for a long time and not zone out. I can even be reading out loud and not be paying attention to what I'm saying. I can also read upside down and backwards just as well as normal reading. No, I don't study like that...just saying.

Until the next post..

Windows aren't for breaking, actually

No, I'm not a vandal. I promise. There's actually a rather simple equation for the picture you're about to see.

Brothers + hard baseball + fact that they were in front of a window playing + inexperience on the part of the younger brother = broken window.

See, it makes perfect sense. A nice, base-ballish type hole. (I was entirely uninvolved.)

I must apologize, my dear readers (if indeed you actually read my blog), for the lack of readable material of late. It's not for lack of ideas. I have tons of them. It's simply for lack of time. I have several posts in the works...I just can't manage to finish them to post them. I will try to remedy that...soon... After being gone tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday all day doing many random things. I know I should say no to things sometimes, but I couldn't resist saying yes to helping with wedding photography!!! Should be interesting...

My 'to do' list is calling me.

I'm stealing Mary Poppins' identity

Sitting at lunch listening to a seven year old describe the first 10 minutes of Mary Poppins in about 15 minutes was getting a bit exasperating. So I started saying more than 'mmmhmm' and 'that's nice.'

Did you know that I have a talking umbrella?
"No you don't!"
I have a carpet bag too.
"I don't believe you." (Muttered under breath, boys!)
Ok, well, I just won't show you!
"Wait-I guess I believe you!! But I'll have to think about it...."

I was able to finally have a conversation with the people I thought I was going to talk to when I sat down, while he thought. Actually, I think he's still thinking. Now I just have to produce an umbrella...

Not for the Uncommitted
