School Again

Hey there again, I am typing from a VERY fast connection at the local college library. I have to wake up at 5:30 in the mornings of Tuesday and Thursday, and stay here until 7:00 at NIGHT!! Very long days ahead. So far the classes seem good, I still haven't gotten to my English class yet, so we'll see.

Finally

Sorry, this is a long time in coming, but with all the smoke around from the fires it's been hard to connect to the internet. So now i have some pics and info about what's going on. We have NO summer! With all the smoke it is an amazing site to see beautiful blue sky, maybe once a month, if we are lucky we get a couple of days of it before the smoke sweeps back in. All the smoke is coming from some fires that have been burning since JUNE!!!! And it gets worse when the forest service starts back firing 2 MILES away from the blaze. So MOST of what has been burned (and escaped many times) is from their back firing and NOT knowing the terrain and weather conditions for this area, some of the fire fighters here are from states where the hill I live on looks like Mt. Everest!

Well anyway, I've started making my FIRST quilt ever, and I think it turned out quite well, I still need to get the backing cut for it but I have the top DONE!!

We also went to the coast a few weekends ago and I got some pictures with my sisters jumping the waves and looking out of a cave.


Also there was a herd of elk that we stopped to take pictures of, I didn't really realize how BIG they were, they are HUGE! I also couldn't resist taking a picture of the sign they were standing around.

New Hair

Well, I know you guys liked the hair from the last post, but I decided to get a hair cut yesterday and this is the result.

Cat and Hair

Well, we have a better name for my cat, Nervous Nelly, but we just call her Nelly. She is getting bolder now, she gets up on my parents bed and sleeps with them, she doesn't run every time the other cat chases her and she lets you pet her if you are laying flat on the floor.

Now about the hair, i have done something that i have never done before, curled my hair...my mom helped me with it since it is soo long and i've never used the curlers before...i like it but i think i need to use more curlers and put less hair in them.

New Junk

Well, I've recently received a new cat, she is about 3-5 years old, bobtailed and terrified, she had been living alone for 3 months because her owner died and no one took her in, then I hear that they are thinking of putting her down so I adopted her. She is soo cute, but she hasn't left the cat carrier, not even to get food so I put the food in there, and now I am going to move her cat box closer. Poor Baby, no one knew her name so I named her Baby.
In other new things, I borrowed 1080 Avalanche from my friend and my sisters went crazy on it! Not that I mind because that means that they will catch up to my level soon, even though dearest Sibling has beaten me in the tricks department.
Sibling is my sister closest in age to me and Midget is my youngest sister, though I don't have a nickname for Kristie.

SNOW!!!!!

We've gotten so much snow recently, the total is 17 inches but I have the measurements from one snowfall. Then it snowed again. I think another front is coming in tonight or tomorrow. (hope NOT, I've already shoveled out the driveway twice...and a half).

Rabbit Surgery

UGGGG!!!! Our rabbit had been growing this THING on the side of his face for a few weeks now, it was about the size of a golf ball and a half. His eye got swollen closed and we were afraid that we would have to put him down. But he scratched at it today, popped a hole in the THING and it started to ooze and gush and be ABSOLUTELY disgusting! It seemed to take for ever to drain out, even with us helping it along. My sister was hiding in the room and my mom hid herself in the kitchen, so it was only me and my dad to help him. I almost puked. Even now, hours later, the mere thought of it makes me gag. I am chewing gum right now so that is helping settle my stomach. At least the rabbit seems happier and more lively.
