First, go to my aunt's site for her new book:

Karen is financing a lot of this book on her own. She knows that she may not make a lot of money, but she really wants children to benefit from this book, regardless of whether or not she makes a profit. So check it out! It really is a great book.

SO Jake starts high school tomorrow. I'm so nervous for him. I went to the Parent Meeting last night with my mom (haha) since my dad isn't here, and the school seemed pretty nice with pretty friendly people. It's small - last year the graduating class was 150 - but I think for Jake that might be a good thing. Anyway. Pray for him, you praying people who read this.
For me, college in two days! Brittany and I went on an....expedition....into the mysterious forest behind our house. Do you know what we found? I will tell you. A clearing with a huge old satellite dish, sitting in the middle of a field. A big rusty pen of some kind with busted out chairs in it. A washing machine full of...bullet holes. No kidding. A completely rusted over old-model VW Bug. We were too scared to venture any closer to the apparent barn-type thing next to it. This will need further investigation of course....
Time to keep packing for college. Ah!

CREEPY CLEARING! Now I'm going to be paranoid of what could possibly creep out of the woods behind the house the next time I'm out on the deck at night...
ReplyDeleteYou will be here in two days!!!!!!
[and I promise that on campus and by my apartment there are no creepy clearings with bullet-filled washing machines...although there is a random RV in the field behind my apartment complex...]
Oh, maybe poor kitty came from there...
ReplyDeleteSad day.
See Amy, these are the sorts of things you guys should wait on me for. I traverse those sorts of areas all the time searching for Satan Bird. I'm sure Brittany can fill you in on all the details.

Your Aunt's book sounds amazing. If I still have money after MC sucks my bank account dry, I'll have to order a copy. I think it'd make a great gift for my niece.
Can't wait to hear about your first experiences as a college student!
Elementary my dear Watson! The rusted pen was obviously the VW's prison...poor little guy...
ReplyDeleteWally the washing washer was jealous of V's mobility, since the automobile industry is quite racist (especially to washers and dryers).
Fortunately, Clint Eastwood and John Wayne were in the midst of a "stategic withdraw" while facing 2348 Mexican Bandits, seeing the captive Bug...they tried to free it! But low and behold, the washer attacked from behind with massive hydro-power! Fortunately, for all the heroes of our story, John and Clint were just as fast...putting so much lead into Wally the Washer that VW's all over the world would still tell the tale.
Our heroes drove off into the sunset. The 2348 Mexican Bandits only found the remnants of the battle of "The Washed Plains". A memory that you get to relive every time you go. Be careful, don't visit the barn until I can share the tale of "Baker's Bee Barn"! It's the sequel :)
