Vets, Colds, and Computers

First things first: followers are the greatest! I only wish my retarded computer would load the page so I could see who my fortieth follower WAS. *growls* I can't quite remember their name. It's like just4god or something...*moan* I'm sorry I can't properly recognize you! If the page will load for anyone else, please tell me who follower number 40 is, will you? Thanks, and thanks just4god or whatever for following! Yay! 40 followers! I never thought I'd see the day.

Second things second: Word Day! And my word is: desconsolado.

First person to explain that to me gets an award. We all know it will be Cavender, but let's wait and see for sure.

Third things third: Today was okay. Mostly. I finished the Da Vinci Code, which was *very* good, took my dog to the vet, ran out of tissues for my cold, had a rough afternoon, ate a great dinner, watched Wizards of Waverly Place with the family, ate a slice of pizza, pretzels, and a Go-Gurt, then here I am. And my chin is itching...hopefully it isn't poison ivy.

So, basically, I have a cold, my dog has a double ear infection, I'm too full, and I thought about Him a lot today.

Still had a good day. My chin itches.

Last night at like midnight, I wrote like a page and a half of "Mirror". It's okay. It's a little more formal than the rest of the book, though. Weird. My writing style kind of tends to mimic whatever I'm reading at the moment, and The Da Vinci Code is written with slightly bigger-than-usual words, so I guess that's rubbing off on me.

We finally got a new router for the computer! Yay! It was going great until like...just now. Great. It's SLOWER THAN MOLASES again. We have such rotten computer luck.

Oh, I also have a new gadget, the page-hit counter! I started it at 1000, because I figure in the year I've had this blog, surely it must have been visited that many times. I was going to start at 100 instead, but I accidentally clicked "finish" or whatever before I had the chance.

Gracias to everyone who liked my eye yesterday, lol! Lizzy's amazing with cameras.

I hate how boring I am today. I'm sorry.

Turtles

Driving went much better today!! Everything went very good, actually. The only bad thing that happened was that I ran over a turtle. Yeahh...I tried to miss it, but instead I steered right onto it. *sigh* I also almost got this bird. He wouldn't move! I thought he would fly away, but he just SAT THERE! At the last second he flew away, though. The boys were like, "Wow, you weren't gonna move, were you?" And then when I hit the turtle like five minutes later, they were like, "What are you gonna hit next? Hey, look! Turkies!" -_- That's me. Just mowin' down wildlife.

But it was pretty hilarious.

Only now I feel so bad about killing the poor little turtle. *sob!*

Name Day! My faaaaaavorite!

Um. Hmm. A name...What should I do today?

Heheh, I have the perfect one:

Awanata.

It's a Native American name meaning "turtle" :P Oh, the humor of it all. Just kidding.

Definitely NOT something I would name my kid, but funny all the same.
------------------------
Matt and Katie are coming over again today. My mom will pick them up at school, and they'll come home and do homework. Then Matt will have to go to this award banquet thing, and Katie will stay here and I'll help her study for a million tests. Seriously, she has like spelling, history, science, geography (I think), and something else. Poor kid.

Oh, this is really random, but we had to weigh the guys' luggage before they left for Jamaica, so we had to find our scale. I didn't even know we had a scale. But I weighed myself, and I weigh like 123. Haha, one, two, three. Yeah, anyway. It's just weird because I've almost never weighed myself. Only at the doctor. And I haven't been to the doctor in over a year. Before that, I hadn't been in about five years. Our family is disgustingly healthy :P We're not, like, health freaks or anything, we just never get sick. I've never had strep throat or the flu, and I've had four ear infections in my whole life.

*knocks on wood*

Well, I'm hungry. The leftover pizza in the 'fridge is calling my name. Ttyl! Carpe diem!

P.S. Thanks for following, Dressed Like Violence!

P.P.S. Is there a story behind that name? Just curious.

P.P.P.S. DAAARN! I was gonna start doing my followers' names for Name Day! Dangit, I forgot. Okay, here's a bonus name then: Seth. It's Hebrew and it means...let me look it up..."appointed". And it means that everywhere; no confusing multiple meanings this time :)
