~O-Town Update~

Helloooo! ^_^ I apologize for not updating last week since I was very sick and in bed for three days straight. Believe me, I would have much rather been updating my blog than sick as a dog...but, on an up-note, the doctor gave me a new asthma puffer, and I stopped coughing almost instantly!

I am home in O-Town for reading week and really enjoying myself. Saturday night everybody was over at Amanda's...I'm really happy I got to see her since her reading week was just ending. The next night I went to Carp with Sarah for a delicious spaghetti and meatball dinner (mmmm....). It was really cool because they had 10 deer at a time in their backyard! I always thought that deer were very peaceful creatures, but apparently not when there's a limited supply of food ^_^

Monday and Tuesday were lazy days...I had a nice time just puttering around the house, getting my lab mostly done, and spending some quality time with Mom and Dad. Dad and I invented a new variation of backgammon...it's very confusing. Hence, we dubbed it "Criss-cross Mensa Gammon". Perhaps we shall make some money off this idea... :o)

Yesterday Mart and Sarah and I went to St. Laurent and shopped around. It was a nice sort of relaxing kind of shopping...not the sort that makes you want to sleep for a couple months. Mart very generously picked me up the "Moulin Rouge" soundtrack I've been wanted to buy for a couple years. Thanks so much Mart! Now I can dance around my room to Roxanne anytime I want ^_^

Today I plan to go see my highschool teachers...I have lots to tell Mrs. Schreider!! So I had better go get ready....

On a side note, I am reading through the book of Numbers for the first time, and you know, it's really not too bad! I expected it to be chapters and chapters of lists and embarked upon reading it to "find meaning" in the lists. What I've found is some stories that are actually quite interesting and show that no matter how many signs God gives us, people still refuse to have faith. Apparently seeing isn't believing. I wonder how that must make God feel...

All you on reading week, have a good one!
