what's next

The guest bedroom rocks! It has piles of pillows and like 3 of them are these soft down ones. Picasso is enjoying the company of Gidget. He is quite the social cat. I think He just needs a change of environment to spice up his life everyone once in a while. Keep him on his toes.

I started painting my room today. I love big daunting projects that seem way to big for one person to do, because when there done its awesome! Plus a little distraction from the present is refreshing. So it's a bigger project than I thought. The Dreamsicle Pink on the walls now is actually high gloss, so it won't ever come off and is washable. Therefore.. a primer is needed or else the new paint won't stick. So says the Home Depot paint specialist. Hey well turns out my dad has a big bucket of primer looking stuff sitting in the middle of the backyard... I guess I can't be too mad at him for letting all the air out of my car tires at 2 in the morning... free primer. Painting is hard work! It took me like 3 hours just to get the walls primed! Tomorrow its Torquoise and Lily pad pink. It was hard not to pick the bright loud versions of these colors, I got the cooler more soothing versions of them. I am excited.

I love my Chinese call. Its this family of pleasant nodders. There always a little rushed and attention deficit, but still listen and nod politely. Untill Mahgee gets out, the little white dog with no eyes visible eyes that is, then they just start shouting at the poor little dog who just wants to play, but the shouting is in Chinese so its all good. Everytime the same thing. Mahgee gets out. they scream. it doesn't come. 5 minutes later the Mahgee gets picked up by its leg and dragged back in. Someday maybe they too will see this cycle of events that proceed our conversations and realize that the dog never listens.

Satan has made the world such a scary place. Its hard to understand why some choose to be part of it. We all deal with problems so differently, but hiding from them is the strangest way to cope. No matter what all things will be revealed; what's the point of buying time out from reality. Why hide? Its such a weak and malleable thing to do.

I love Andrew Bird. He has some really sleepy songs, but the violin is so pretty. I like the Soldier On album best.

no its superman!!

No just a bird. Today was kind of a boring day. I like a good old hang out around the house day everyone once and while. Memorial was very nice; I love getting to say hi to faces you haven't seen in a while. My mom got in a car accident on the way. She's fine, she handled it like a pro. She was most concerned with getting her elderly passengers to the memorial. She frantically made phone calls to arrange to have at least two seats saved for the older ladies. But the poor corolla got rear ended. I guess it could totally be worse, but the I<3mycat sticker.......smashed. My mom was actually pretty sad about that. There will have to be another trip to St. Augustine to get another one of those from that oh so famous City Cat Country Cat store! It feels like this track campaign went by so fast. I feel like I hardly got to invite any of my calls. But I am excited that on older lady call said she is coming to the special talk. But I have a slight feeling she just wants to meet my family and she knows the go to the kingdom hall. She really sweet and whatever motivates you.

I miss having Avril here. I was looking at these two kids who looked a lot a like, one a foot smaller than the other, whispering to each other during the meeting and it reminded me so much of me and avril. The Schumann row has shrunk drastically! Just me and Nina now. It's strange not being the big family making all the noise, however, I do appreciate being treated like an individual. Whereas before it was always Schumann family. I feel like such an adult! Driving myself to meetings and then not having to sit with your family, because they go to different meetings. I like having freedom, but sometimes I think it would be nice to have some parent telling you what to do. Like curfew, for example, I really enjoyed thinking I have to go home I have a driving curfew! There are definitely ups and downs to both sides. On the other side, the idea of a parent telling you have you to go to school for a certain amount of time seems so absurd! I like the concept of making personal decision on what you will do because you know its right and not because your told. But sometimes you need that push from someone.

So Picasso was actually active today. He was playing with a ball. Like some kind of dog or something- says nina.
What do you think you are cat! Lately he has seemed so bored. Like right now he is just staring at the wall. I gotta go give him some playing . see yea!
