Compliments

These crazy people got their pictures back today. Everyone I've talked to loves the pictures of Pam. If you click on the photo it should take you to more. I've uploaded a bunch of photos I found on my camera.


I did not get writing done last night. I kinda knew I wouldn't. I did try though. I hope to get something done today but I have Cub Scouts and Basketball today.


At Cub Scouts we are decorating a dragon for next months Blue and Gold Banquet. Our theme is Chinese new year. This could be funny.


In the spirit of The Year Of The Rat. My friend and I are using an audio book to learn Chinese. It has been really fun so far. I am learning so much. I can now say pirate in Chinese. Not sure when that will come in handy but hey.


Current Mood: nerdy

I wonder, I wonder, I wonder

I really needed rain boots. I walk my daughter to school every day and it is usually raining. So I went out and got rain boots. But I'm not normal when it comes to things I like. So I got these rain boots.

My husband hasn't seen them yet. And I'm willing to bet he will hate them. I will probably get a lecture about acting my age and being an adult. To which I will just stick out my tongue and skip away.

I hope it rains today so I can wear the boots on my walk. Now I just need to find a rain hat. Hmmm.

Current Mood: silly

Dumb

OK I just got info on the friend who lost his leg.

In a drunken stupor (didn't I say I thought beer was involved) my friend decided to walk across the highway. He relied on a brain damaged drunk friend to tell him it was clear. Well, it wasn't! Pedestrian vs 55mph car! Another friends dad was on duty(he's a police officer) but it wasn't his precinct. He did however loan his camera to that department and have to talk to the EMS crew that handled it. He never heard the name and definitely couldn't recognize him in the picture. Well, the EMS told my friends dad that he was embedded in the windshield of the car and they didn't even know how to start peeling him off. His leg was twisted up, around, and over his head. He lost his leg. They had to amputate just below the knee. He is now a peg leg pirate, practically a childhood dream for him. Other than that, he seems to have no lasting trauma. (He's OK in the head, sort of) Unbelievable. None of the people at the scene, including my friends dad, thinks he should have been alive.

This explains why I haven't heard from my peg legged pirate friend in a year(this apparently happened early this year).

I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry.
