I'm getting in one last post before May is over, mostly so that Candi will stop yelling at me to post, and partially because I know I won't have time to post again for at least a week!
Lets start out with housey news, shall we? Some evil, horrible people out bid us on the Kimberling City house, so there is no fake wood carpet in my immediate future, I'm very sad to say. Still looking, looking, looking. I found a place in Springfield that had a big barn, indoor and outdoor riding arenas, and an "older house" for super-duper cheap, and nearly drooled reading the description to Mom, but she doesn't seem to think that all of that fabulous riding space is worth living in a crappy house for. Crazy woman.
We had family at my house pretty much all weekend. MaryAnn & her 4 kids came down on Saturday, and stayed till Sunday afternoon, and my middle sister came Sunday, and her son Jesse stayed Sunday night. Given that I'm one of those weird people who has to know how to do absolutely everything, I decided that Jesse needed to teach me to skateboard. He told me I could get a board for like $9 at Wal-Mart, so we went and got one, and spent a few hours at the park in which I made a pretty big idiot of myself, but made a little progress, too. We went back the next morning when the skateboard part of the park was open, and he got to show off going down ramps and stuff while I got the hang of not falling off. I was, of course, not smart enough to remember to bring my camera to get pictures of our snazzy skateboarding action, but I will next time. My board's name is Matilda.
Simucon starts Wednesday! I'm running around like crazy getting clothes washed so I can pack, cleaning out my car, etc etc. Can't wait!
I should probably have a whole lot more to tell you all about, since I haven't updated in so long, but I can't think of a damn thing right now, so I'm going to call it a night and do some cleaning so that I don't have to come home to such a messy house. Now, stop yelling at me, Candi!
