Its a good thing puppies dont impede oil exploration.

Good afternoon everyone! Hope the day is going great. Its been rainy here all day, a day for my rainboots! wahoo! if you still dont have any, you better do yourself a favor! One of these days, you'll thank me. As far as new news goes, i have really have nothing. I have 3 tests next week so i have been doing a ton of studying for that, so not too much time for fun. However, tonight is the night for half price burgers at this really great burger joint across the street from campus. (Dutch's is the name, great burgers and fries is the game) This place is DELICIOUS! I get the same thing every week--a bacon, blue cheese burger with no lettuce. yummy! Come to Fort Worth and i'll take you there! Its one of a kind!

Who watched Jon and Kate plus 8 last night?! You better be raising your hand! It was such a good one! I just cant get enough of those Gosselin's. While i was watching it i was trying to put myself in that position and imagine my family in a tent, in the backyard, in the rain, pretending to have a good time. Boy would that be a sight. One time we went on a camping trip and it was probably the most traumatic experience of my life. (mom, i think you know where this is going. and no its not that subway story. That's another traumatic time in my life all together.)

One time when i was probably 6 or 7, the fam packed up the car and headed to some mountain in the middle of nowhere (i have tried to block out this time in my life as best as possible so the details become a little fuzzy) with a group of family friends who all had kids about the same age as me and my brother. We stayed in tents, ate from those little portable stove things and walked to the out-house to go pee. That was where i thought it hit rock bottom. But, boy was i WRONG. One fun day activity, involved all of the boys to go fishing to catch dinner (which mind you was what i voted for doing but was quickly out voted by all of the boys) and the girls to go horse back riding. This was where the traumatic times begin. I have never been so horrified in my life. Here i am, like 6 years old, riding this HUGE horse, straight up some random mountain. I hated my life that day. Oh and not only was it musty, hot, and raining im sure, that damn horse wouldn't listen to a word i was saying or single signal i was putting out. It just did whatever it wanted to do, probably knowing full-well that i would NEVER ride a horse again. Well it was right. I'm still nervous around horses. Thanks dumb pony. All i wanted to do was go fishing.

Ok, so then it gets even better. The next days activity was to go white-water-rafting. Baha. Could you see MY parents, with me in the middle of a CANOE that was definitely not suitable for this type of adventure? Whoever said that was a good idea probably got a good laugh out of it. I, however, did not. I screamed the whole time, got all wet, and then we proceeded to get stuck in some tree hanging over the side into the river. Oh. My. Gah. really, parents, really? Never again. I wish Jon and Kate had been around when i was little so my Family Clan could have seen that and camped in our backyard instead of the middle of God-knows-where. Maybe to this day i would be able to ride horses and enjoy camping/canoing (which i think is spelled wrong, but i cant figure it out..). We'll never know :)

Im off to study, then dinner! Hugs and Kisses everyone!!
