settling and stirring


However good it was to go home, I am a little behind now. I need to think of two topics for a speech and I don't even know where to start. Oh well, after a couple of days it'll settle back down.

Well, when I went home I met the newest member of the family, a great pyranese named Bella, she's about a year old and a real bundle of energy. She's tall, and jumps all over the place, and bites and chews. When I say "bites" you know I mean the puppy grab-this-object-in-your-teeth-and-look-proud thing right? Anyway, the family is going to have to call barkbusters, and soon. But she's a sweetie. I think this picture caught her personality really well, she's looking at us from the corner of her eye, seeing if she can sneak in a pounce!

I got a call from my older sister, Evilglare, this morning, she finally has her voice back! It's been three weeks! I would have been more excited, but she sorta woke me up.

Also, on the honors front, I went to our Alpha games, and it was kinda fun. I'm really not mad at them over the design thing anymore, there simply wasn't enough time to get the T-shirts by that sunday. Our team is doing well, we won the Freshman relay- thanks in large part to our first and last runners, who were able to get ahead of everyone else. It was more like a scavenger hunt race than a relay.

And if anyone needs a t.v. show to watch that's uplifting AND intresting? (Those of you who like signlanguage especially) Sue Thomas FB Eye. It's not on the air anymore, but all the episodes are on youtube. It's about a young woman, Sue Thomas who goes to work for the FBI. The thing is, she's deaf, and communicates by reading the lips of the people around her. She also has a service dog who lets her know when the phone rings or someone is calling for her. The show used to be on PAC, and is based solidly on Christian morals and ideals. Sue regularly mentions God and prays for his help. I really do reccomend this show.
