i'm kidding though. people love me! they just never comment
i walked to the bridge again, although i didn't stay very long.  it's still pretty flooded.

meanwhile, i've been talking to my penpal through email. she's trying to convince me to come post on her forum. she's my friend and all, but i don't think she gets it when i say i don't want to go online and i'm trying not to. i told her i'd see what i could do, but i know if i post once, i'll just keep posting.

i'm trying to convince emma to get dressed and come outside with me. she only wants to play worms armageddon. hopefully, she'll come outside. she could do with some time away from the TV. right now, i'm pretty bored. i could go read, but i feel like doing something on the computer. hmm....

so, i emailed one of my internet friends today - my penpal - and it was good to hear from her. apparently i didn't miss much, forum-wise. i pretty much checked my email obsessively until we got back from a little drive we had and boom, she emailed me. she said she's going to wait until we get settled at the new house to send me a letter. at least i know she'll send something.

since the laptop is back home, and i've been craving some story-writing, i write down any parts of the story i wanted to put in the story itself in one of my notebooks. i sort of like writing by hand, but it's not the same as typing, and i don't have the best handwriting. i have capitalized letters in odd places (like, for example, my D's are always capitals. i tried to do normal ones but i can't) and it's sometimes hard to read. it has improved though. and the more i write, the more it changes. it's weird.

still, i miss the laptop. i keep thinking of things i could write and it's driving me crazy.

earlier today, i went outside and took a walk down to the small bridge nearby. since it's kind of flooding everywhere, there was alot of water. it was neat to just stand and look over the edge at it. now i really want to go swimming, even though it's not going to happen. i don't have a bathing suit, anyway. so i just looked over the edge some more and walked back.

still, it was nice to get some fresh air and some excercise. i personally love taking walks, even if my feet or legs are sore. that doesn't happen often, though.

when i woke up this morning, the first thing emma wanted to do was play on the Sega. i convinced her not to (i was not going through yesterday all over again) and i told her i'd set up the playstation, which has more games, and i did.

i did some more latin, too, which is pretty interesting. and i'm re-reading a book about cleopatra. maybe i should do some knitting this week, too. i think i'm going to go back outside. i do wish i could go for another walk even though it's cold.

i'm going to post again. it's probably almost excessive at this point but i haven't posted alot lately. but hey, at least it isn't every 15 minutes....

so, we went and got a little bit of groceries, and we went to Tim hortons. i got one of the new mint chocolate ice capps. it was really good; i like the mintiness and the whip cream.  sarah got a butter caramel one.

we got to drive by our new house (score) twice. it's still awesome. i'm wondering if the neighbours notice a car full of people driving by it almost every night.....

sarah is, yet again, looking through the phone book. she must be bored. maybe, she should post in her blog *nudge nudge*.

hmmm. i wish i could get a new laptop, because the one we have is dying. i'm not going to say it's mine because it isn't, but i am the only one who uses it.... dad suggested i started saving up now a few days ago. that would take a long time unless i got a job, and if i did it would still take a while. plus i'm probably not old enough. but i'll find a way. maybe i can sell lemonade all summer all day every day and squeeze the lemons by hand and sell it for 25 cents a glass.  maybe i can make a couple grand that way....

i am, by the way, joking. sarah read over my shoulder and suggested pyramid schemes. i'm just not saying anything.

mom was looking up houses for sale that were super expensive. dad mentioned one that had a pool, a view of the river, and a whole bunch of stuffed animals inside. it was scary but really funny. it was insane how much moose heads and such were in just one of the rooms.

i still can't wait until summer. it's going to be lots of fun. plus it's really pretty over here.
