Changes and latest updates

Well, the first thing to deal with would be last week... the minivan.

The D's were stopping by our house last Sunday, for some reason or other, and while they were saying "bye" and stuff... some green smelly liquid came out of under the hood, along with smoke (or was it steam?). This resulted in the D's having to stay for a while (2 or 3 hours), eat dinner, and figure out that they would take our Suburban (big blue car) to OK City. It turned out that a transmission hose had come out, getting transmission fluid over the driveway. Well, at least it happened in our drive, instead of on the road!

For more details, ask JCP. That's all I'm gonna say for now.

In more recent updates, Joshua Jones and I, as well as his mother (duh), went to a debate competition in Houston, staying from Wednesday to Saturday night. I'm in the West Houston club... very well prepared! In general, I spose I did OK, but I only won 1 of 6 rounds. Someone in the club did get into the LD finals, Erika got second place! I personally thought she coulda won that round...

But anyway, that is where I have been for the past few days.

So for the changes. JCPenney wanted to be moved to the OK link list. But, if you noticed, I called it "friends of ___" and I have to point out that JCP is still a friend of TX--are you not, JCP? And I also added JCP's sister to the links.

Don't got much more to say...

Boundless joking

A little explanation, that was a joke too, the "JCP situation" deal. It just happened that Shadow and I had a little "chat" after the first comment about "dear shadow" and my "dear post". So right about now, several inside jokes will be started, and nobody will have a clue what anybody is talking about, until they read my comment box.

Apologies, Penny, you weren't the only one taking that too far. :)

I knew I had to post sometime soon anyway...

So in honor of a "new post", I shall bring up a new topic, rather than an old one.

If anyone has been paying attention to the weather around here for the past week, they would know that we have gotten a lot of rain and sleet, and just a couple flakes of snow. It has turned miserably cold (for some people anyway) and driving has been slightly affected by all this weather.

One such occasion of driving being affected was Cada staying here overnight. His ma didn't want him driving all the way from the middle of nowhere out here for chemistry, then back out again, and back in, and back out, and maybe one or two more times, for fear he might get hurt in all that traveling on icy roads. Now this wasn't any really big occasion, which is just one more reason why I am making a big occasion of it...

Nice weather today, wouldn't you (dis)agree?

Because of debate and other such circumstances, it may be a while before I post anything other than comments (on my own blog--wouldn't you know it!), so no begging from anyone (Penney!) to post until it has been at least two weeks.

another dinner quote

These days are crazy, I tell ya. First the girls, then the other stuff...
What other stuff?

I guess the only real news lately is...

Lillian and Annalee went to the homeschool skating whatsit with the Ys and came back about two hours later with Courtney Y and Hannah H, under the pretense that they were going to sleep over. So all yesterday afternoon and evening, five hyped girls have been running around the house, doing all sorts of strange girl stuff.

This hyped up girliness prompted Dad at the dinner table to produce another strange tongue twister.

How many toes could a tow truck tow if a tow truck could tow toes?

Try saying that fast!

BTW, Looney Tunes is good!

Questions, comments, or requests for information will be considered.

comins and goins

If anyone has wondered where I have been, wonder no longer because the explanation is here.

If you don't yet know, I am debating in the national homeschool league, the NCFCA. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I was at a practice tournament with the West Houston Speech and Debate Club. That, as you may or may not have suspected, has taken up a lot of extra time, seeing as how I need lots of evidence and quotes and such stuff like that (Shadow, I know, Google, but there are others, that give results that the average debater might not think about...). "Research".

And tonight, I went to that big Renaissance ball that one of the homeschoolers was having for her 16th birthday party. Really quite different from your typical party...

Short update, more may come later, I make no promises.
