The kitties are born!

Our neighbor's cat Sushi had her kittens. She showed up in our barn much skinnier then before, as happy as ever. She had her babies out in our barn under a chair, four of them. It took us awhile to find them. Judy, our neighbor said that we could take care of them and socialize them. They are sooo cute and fuzzy and small and fuzzy and little and cute!!

Sadly however there are only three of the four left. The little baby of the bunch was so small and she did not make it, she was almost half the size of the others. She fit in my hand.

Sushi is doing well and she and the kittens are living in a box in our bathroom.

Saying nothing when I should

I have nothing to say but I felt that I should say something, but there is nothing to say so I shall say nothing "Nothing". I have this problem, I know I should say something but I don't say anything. Most of the time I wish I did because I find myself kicking myself for saying nothing. I always say the next time this happens I will say something but what if it never happens again, more kicking. I should have something to say, I should say something. I always have something to think but I never can put it into words. Why? I really have nothing to say on the matter. Kick, kick, KICK!!!

Fire! This is not a drill!

I saw a fire today at our co.op classes. A real fire. The building next to the youth center ( where we have classes) was on fire. A lady came running out with her baby yelling that her apartment was on fire. It was. The Smoke was pouring out of one of the upstairs windows and my teacher said she did see the flames. Two firetrucks complete with firemen, one ambulance, two volunteer firetrucks, and several cops took over the parking lot and kicked all the other cars out. I guess they took a hose in through the down stairs and up because water started shooting out the window. They ( the firemen ) started opening windows to let the remaining smoke out. I don't think anybody was hurt, the ambulance was not needed. All is well now.My Shakespeare class was delayed shortly while we watched them put it out. My hair smells like smoke now.

A Continuation

Mara: You have shown no respect for are friends this is below you I thought that you, even you would have more respect for are newly found friends, I can't believe you would do this, it's not like you oh you insufferable dung head you poop livered maniac what in the blue blazes was going through your mushy weak mind, have you no shame you bottle neck big headed lump of a codfish!

Stephen has a different kind of talent that even he can't explain.

Work, spring, Truck

The workers have moved to the other side of the house. Nobody has fallen off the roof yet so I guess they are doing well.


Spring has finally got here and there are green things every where. Yeah! Moms tulips have bloomed and the trees have little baby leafs on them. Yeah!!!!



I have just completed the best drawing I have done in a while, I love it. I thought it would be hard because I have never drawn a truck before and the angles are weird, but it all fell together well.
Closer up. The picture makes it look a little red and yellow but it's white.

Stephen's Ending

Samantha was going though some old documents and she found part of a story that my friends and I wrote along time ago, with some massive changes made by Stephen. It was really funny and we all are still laughing about it. The document was entitle Stephen's Ending:

Simeon: Lets go stupid guard, right here, right now!!!!
( Simeon attacks the guard with a large rock) Die DIE DIE!!!!!! ( Guard collapses and wets his pants) Lets get out of here Mara, ( Breathing hard) Time to have lunch!

( Cut to a picnic scene) Simeon, Mara, and a tall strange man with a large, bushy beard are eating small tea sandwiches on a plaid blanket.

Tall Strange Man: These are good mmmmmnnnhhhhhhmnnhn!!!!

Sodeus: Who are who?

Tell Strange Man: I'm your conscience.

Sodeus: My what?

Tall Strange Man: Your flippin conscience dummy!

Simeon: OK

Mara: Be nice, ( while frantically stuffing sandwiches down her throat) Don't be rude. ( Mara begins choking, Tall strange Man performs the Heimlich maneuver, but it pops Mara's head clean off)


Simeon: YOU KILLED HER!!!!!( he pulls out a Uzi and empties it into the Tall strange Man)
( The tall strange man falls backward onto a board which catapults a rock into Simeon, this causes him to stumble backwards and falls off a big cliff)

The End ( and that's the way it really happened)

Soldier: Say do not walk in the ocean without proper underpanties.

It is a flying bread fairy elf gnome.


The only thing that follows the story we wrote are the names, and we don't know how Sodous got thrown in there. It makes no sense to us, he wrote it a little at a time and it got put together somehow. If you know what a flying bread fairy elf gnome is let us know. Don't forget your underpanties!

Awesome Things

Watercolors are amazing. I am taking an art class with Sean Huntington and it is awesome. I love that guy ( not the marrying love, I had to explain to mom)he is an amazingly awesome artist. He works mostly with black and white, some with colors. We learned how to make pine trees, which are awesome.

The house is coming alone nicely, no more rain. They still have a long way to go yet but what they have done already is good. Spencer almost has a room and it has windows, three of them. Yeah!!


I love this picture of Derrick's feet. It is what we see inside all day long.LOL!!

Right now I am eating ice cream and I love ice cream, it is awesome! Type,bite,type,bite,type!!. Awesome!

Where is Spring?

It SNOWED, what is wrong with the world. April is supposed to bring flowers, buds, leafs, and green things. But NO it had to snow AGAIN, meaning no flowers or green. All there is is brown and dead. This is sad. I want grass and daffodils, things that make you think Spring. We get wet pitiful snow that make you think #@#$%$#!@!!!. I reallllllllllly want Spring.

Not so Random

Today I am really thankful for lots of water!

Just Another Day

It rained again today and no work on the house was done. The tarp filled with water again even after all their support to stop that from happening. It ran down through the floor and down the lamp in the dinning room and was dripping on the table. They came again and fixed it again.

There is a very large airsoft war going on tonight, all of mine and Spencer's friends are outside shooting at each other. I used to do this boyish thing right along with them, all the while thinking "should I, being a girl, be shooting things with them" but I wish I was out there with them now.

Everybody gets really in to this odd sport.

Cut it all off

Before
After

Samantha got a hair cut today. She is very happy about it, the picture really doesn't show that.

Construction: Day 6-7

Yesterday we weren't home. It is are group classes and they don't get over till two and we didn't get home till three. By then the workers were almost done. The deconstruction work is over and they started the construction work.They framed Spencer's room a little bit and brought in shingles on a really big truck.The shingles had to be put in through the upstairs bathroom window with a crane, this saved the guys from having to carry them up our narrow stairs. I think that is all they did that day.


Today it rained again, most of the night too. We woke up to find the tarp they had used to cover the big hole, full of water. They hadn't planed to come at all today but mom called and they came to empty the tarp.
Mr. Schapp emptying the tarp into a large garbage can. It was much fuller than this, there was enough water in it to fill our claw foot bathtub. The water was freezing cold and they were going to give Samantha 15 bucks to stick her head in it. She past this opportunity up seeing that it was only eight o'clock in the morning (not how she wanted to start her day).

Deconstruction: Day 5

Today's work day was cut very short by the weather. It rained. It has stopped now but the wind is still very bad. The blue tarp blew away and it had to be tied down again. It was very hard to sleep when there is nothing but a thin sheet of plastic separating you from the outside world. The wind blue most of the night and I kept thinking someone was coming in, it scared the dog too, she got up at three in the morning and decided that she needed to go growl at it a little. The house still looks the same, they got little done before the rain. Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow.

Deconstruction: Day 4

The deconstruction of our house is going well. Now Spencer's room is completely gone, with nothing but a tarp for a roof. More of the roof has been deshingled and everybody hopes it will not rain. The banging of the hammers has been really bad today. I felt like the roof and the whole top floor was being riped off. Where are the hard hats when you need them? It is very hard to concentrate on school when the table is vibrating.The pounding was followed by very large pieces of wood being thrown down from above. I feel very bad for styrofoam man(long story)who has to clean up the mess while dodging the falling house. Last night we had a fire and burned part of Spencer's room, it was very enjoyable. But sad.

Glad about this

Things that I'm glad about right now:
1. Books that make me feel good
2. People that don't swear
3. My friends that don't do drugs
4. The sun
5. The thought that I won't have to do math forever
6. Sparkly earrings
7. And just being happy!

I have had little time for anything, this week has been bad, with my new job (I love saying that), school and other such things that take up my time, I have been really busy. I have boxes siting all over the place of unpainted glasses that I need to have done by Wednesday, I hate to say it but I don't think it can be done. I got very frustrated at some cake domes that I had to take a day off (Oh the joy of working at home).

Some of the thing that I have worked on.


The cake dome (unfinished)


Some thing that I have to learn how to do one of these days.


Anyway, are house is under sever reconstruction, so all i have heard for the last two days is pounding. The roof is being replaced and reconstructed so the water will stop coming in. Right now they have alot of the roof shingles taken off and Spencer's room distorted, his room is going to get bigger.
Spencer's room

It's naked!

The room being deshingled by Mr. Schapp and friends


Hopefully it will all be over soon and the sound of the house caving it will end. Then they will paint it (any ideas?) When they are all done we can finely put it flower beds and things. Yeah!!!
