I think this could go thru my neck!

Ok this weekend...I visited a place that technically is for children...the third floor of the McWane Center...the Bob the builder display...I planted carrots and potato's in a garden (the were rubber with premade holes in the "dirt"), raced wooden boats through water, took my picture in one of the bulldozers, played in a wind tunnel, and even made a paper airplane and tested it for flight in a smaller version of the wind tunnel. How awesome is that! I got to jump around on the floor and have my "earthquake" effects be measured, dodge soccer balls, catch butterflies on my head, play with large versions of those pin things you put your hand in and it makes the imprint (what are those called)...andddd I held my neck up to a very large shark tooth and pointed out how it could probably go thru my whole neck!! yea it was the best sunday afternoon trip that I've had in awhile. The only bad part was the trip home..My man and younger sister decided I needed to try to learn to drive a stick...I've tried a few times before but it's been unsuccessful..yeah this was no different...there are lots of stop lights downtown...that's not good...I freak out everytime someone is behind me and I stall the car...then promptly hit the flashers so they'll hopefully get the idea and go around me... :(! I was hot and my man turned the air off so I could "hear the motor"..uh no!!!!!! that just makes me mad..freaking out is bad enough when you aren't also scorching hot!! the air was turned back on but when you keep stalling the car it some how still manages to get really hot!..after the 3rd stall and there are only millions more red lights and yet another car stuck behind me and the flashers are flashing...I quit...::sigh:: I want to learn but not with cars on the road...I dont think when I was learning to drive that my dad stuck me in a car with other cars around...so why is this any different..I want a carless road and lots of practice! oh well we all survived.. that's about the only new thing going on in my life at this point..

I really wish I had some cookies..

time to get it on

shew...I like that title...and it really explains how I presently feel..I mean I haven't been writing on this in months and a lot has changed...I feel inadequate in comparison to some of my fellow writers. I haven't the cool pen name..nor the skills of story telling..I do however have a man (I know you probably have a man too) ..and we're so gettin married in like 62 days or something close to that...and let me tell everyone out there if I have to wait one day longer than that I will collapse into a coma..and it will not be good. I don't know the background of all my readers but being a good Christian girl in this area has to be one of the hardest things in the entire world! I'm not questioning it's worth. Just saying it's very hard. Now lets see..I'd think I'd like to cover how this all came about..So like two years ago I met this guy..and for whatever reason (I thought he noticed too much stuff..he critiqued the way I ate my icecream cone!! "so you're a licker"...now if they just doesn't offend a girl..I don't know what will!!) I didn't find myself too interested..I was a little distracted by other things in my life and we just let it go at that...well one day I end up taking a beach trip with him...yea..you can get me easy if you just include the beach...we had fun..killed a seagull with our mirror...he tried to seduce me...I wasn't seduced..until..we get back to his place and turn on some "James Taylor Live"..it was all over after that..true story..I dont know what it was..but my man needs to give James Taylor a huge donation 'cause it got him..ME! :)...yea...then we go to Christmas with his family and something about seeing a big family gettin along....eatin cheese noodles...and spending some quality time...I don't know from then till a youth trip in February I was like...hmmm this guy...my guy...the guy?..after February I said yup...that's him...that was partly due to some sweet time in an elevator..wait..did I...hmmm anyway...so I gave him a few "hints" (hey you better ask me soon or I'll find someone who will...those type of hints)...that I wanted a ring and I wanted it soon...and well he delivered..march 11th I totally had him down on one knee by the lake..declaring his love for me...I said yes before he could get the ring out...and ever since then it's been..me wanting to elope...but I can't it's a family request...I mean after 22 yrs of pleasing them and God..it seems they wouldn't want to risk it by asking me to wait another hmmm 6 months!! but whatever..they must think if I've done it this long...gahhhh I hate being responsible...anyway...that's whats been up with me... I'll go ahead and say sorry for anything I say...because my mind hasn't been where it should be lately...and I don't expect it to change until after August ;)
