EGGs

The Chickens finally laid! see the two eggs from yesterday below.  When i went out this morning, there was another egg in the box! - all medium to small sized when compared to a store bought 'jumbo' egg.  brownish tan, no blue or green which means that Maleficent (the mutt breed i'll call 'easter egger') still has yet to lay an egg.


For a quick grammar lesson:
If you exclude the meaning "to tell an untruth" and just focus on the setting/reclining meaning of lay and lie, then the important distinction is that lay requires a direct object and lie does not. So you lie down on the sofa (no direct object), but you lay the book down on the table (the book is the direct object).
This is in the present tense, where you are talking about doing something now: you lie down on the sofa, and you lay down a book.

Past tense is completely wacky no rules here, just memorization:

LA

Flying to LA this afternoon - fun in the sun - except the weather report says cloudy with a % of rain :(


Liz told me that Anne Brooks said the new stove was on it's way - 3rd times the charm!


Photo: When you get up to the cabin, the temperature inside is the same as outside.  Start the fire in the wood stove and wait about 8+ hrs for things to warm up.  Here's Nate (always looking at the camera) and Meltrain - guess how long we've been at the cabin for....

Riot Roast

The Riot Roast was last Saturday, so Danny, Frank, and I had a 'party'.  Frank made butternut squash, and Danny had his wisdom teeth pulled - PARTY!

BdayRecession

This email comes from a friend that was sent by a friend and then fwd on to me by that friend with consent from the friend who wrote it.  all names have been redacted...




I am going to email you even though I am texting you right n ow. Emails are fun. Let's see what I got to share with you. I may or may not have had a few too many drinks last night. I may or may not have told     and    when we left the bar that we were gunna puke and ralley. "Eat frech fries puke drink water and go back to the bar." I may or may no have hit my face on the mailbox and said "Ouch, ouch, ouch....thats okay noses are made to hit things."     may or may not have taken a video of me and I told her to "turn off the fucking camra" and she didn't so I said "I know that light means you are taking a video what so you think I am a dumb piece of skeleton" I may or may not have looked at the couch and told      "I have slept a few too many nights on that couch with my shoes and jacket still on."     forced me to eat some rice chex and I may or may not looked at her and said "What are you trying to do sufficate me? You want me to die?" I recall this my mouth was really dry so I couldn't swallow the cereal so clearly that means you are sufficating me....By may or may not I obviously mean may.
Team Gossip Update
       and      (freshman last year) are hanging out...    doesn't know yet I'm waiting for the day he finds out.     has lots of boy problems because      ,      ,       and     all like her. She told me     is the only one that currently gets to sleep in the bed with her not the guest bed in her room. She hasn't decieded who she likes yet though. I am not allowed to tell anyone that so don't blow my cover I like getting the gossip.        is going for      ....in her words "He is nice and seems like he is bored which is what I am right now." Last update I had they only made out once so far. Kills me.     and     bone all the time and      is crazy. He visits me at work regularly and gets free lube. He wants to fill a whole briefcase with it is what I am told. They are not dating because      doesn't want a commitment so they just bang. One time the whole ruby house was shaking from them.
As for me...I didn't hang out with       this week besides at the Library studying for finals. Don't worry. We were good children and did homework the whole time. The only sidetracking that occured was drawing pictures. He saw my notes from class with doodles all over and impressed me with his doodling skills. We share a love for doodling, makes perfect sense why we are friends. Maybe we should make a sex painting together like         wanted to do then we could sell it to her. I will put a lululemon logo on it so it's expensive and she wants it. Brilliant. (I did get a 4.0 this semester.) Anyways I believe I am going to hang out with him today for a bit. Maybe I'll muck face with him or just pinch his butt. Or go sleep in his bed because I am tired. He makes fun of me for how much I sleep. What do you do when you see      daddy? So you instantly muck face or just rip each others clothes off. Do you purposely wear something that is quick undress. Go comando. Let freedom ring. (this means no bra in case you forgot. I let freedom ring when I went to breakfast at the Cafe today. It's pretty fun try it sometime)You should wear a leotard one day and throw him off. hahaha. hahaha. I hope you laughed cause that is funny.
This might be the longest email I have composed in a while. I am at work right now. I am getting paid. It's like I am a writer just like my mommy. Getting paid to write. Well I hope you are at work right now so you are getting paid to read this as well. I only have one more class to take before I graduate. Scary. I need to go study for the GRE actually that was my plan today. I am taking it Monday. YIKES.
Over and out.
The one and only.
