magical snow angel

man i have to take this math test again tomorrow. i have to prove that i'm ready for stats, because they actually found out that i don't meet the requirements for it, so they are going to drop me if i don't pass this test. it's on the computer, and i took it, and i did okay, but not good enough. luckily i have two more chances before they drop me, but it was a good preview, and i know what to study now, so not to worry! i'm going to do great. i take it at 6:00 tuesday, so everyone send good vibes. if i still don't do well enough, i can take it again on the 29th.

but when i found out they were planning on dropping me (through an email), they didn't tell me that i could take a test, so they just made a blanket statement: "we're dropping you because you don't meet the requirements." so i didn't know what the heck was going on, so I decided to call them and ask what i could do and how they could help me, but...

i couldn't find my phone!

i got on the computer to see who was online to ask them to text/call me so i could hear it, but i didn't hear it. so figured i must've had it on silent. then i was forlorn, because the school offices were closed, so i just wanted to talk to my mom so i would feel better and be able to handle the situation, but then she wasn't online and i remembered i couldn't find the phone. so sad.

eventually she got online. i told her the story. she made me feel better. then i decided to give it one more try to find my phone. i thought and thought and though...

and i remembered what i did two days earlier.

i was going to check the mail right after it stopped snowing (we've been snowing forever up here). the courtyard/field thing had all this fresh powder, and no one even stepped in it yet! i hate snow, but even i had to admit this was an amazing chance--a whole field to decorate by myself. i decided to make the word "love" out of footprints in cursive, and it was fureakin amazing! i did so good. then i decided that since i was in the snow and cold already, I would do a snow angel. so i jumped as far as i could from the "e" and plopped my butt down and did a snow angel.

so ha, do you understand why this is such a great thing to remember?

Maybe...just maybe...maybe my phone fell out of my pocket while i was making my angel.

then i thought, crap, because with my luck my phone died, and then it's been snowing since i did my angel, so my phone is probably ruined. if it even is out there. plus, someone could have seen it and stolen it (unlikely).

i asked my mom to call the phone twice, and i went outside, and do you know what happened? I heard my ringtone! that blessed pirates of the carribean remix!

I ran toward the angel and saw a light peering at me through the snow, and my phone was giving off the light! i laughed and laughed and i answered the phone.

it was cold on my ear. but it worked.

i put it to dry in the dish rack. and here's the miracle:

my phone has not died yet. it has been 6 days since i charged it. i am notorious for my phone's weak battery and my inability to charge it.

i think that angel i made was a magic guardian angel. it made sure that my phone was safe and worked. plus, it blessed my phone with an extra dose of holiday battery power.

ta da!

wasn't that a great story? it made me laugh...ha ha!

i just made a song with my roommate

becca and i just came up with a song on the guitar. sounds better with me singing to the chords, but here are the lyrics:

Grandma Died

Cranberry canoodles

Spaghetti strapped poodles

Cham el e on hip hop dance

Box elder bug in my pants

Chorus:

Cuz my grandma died

I shoulda cried

You shoulda cried

We all shoulda cried

Karate chopped beef

Black squirrels in the wreathe

Tornado caught lice

Lace creamsicle price

White Jackson crack

Milk snot attack

Candy corn praise

Fig newton maze

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

Invisible-Mouthed Ninja

Okay, now I need to go back and add up the points to see who won the bonus point war...

right now, I'm doing this:

Okay, so I read that email and I got distracted by it's funnyness and it's need for editing, and I forgot to tell you that yesterday....

I sat in a FERRARI scuderia and an ASTON MARTIN vantage. say ohmigosh ohmigosh ohmigosh ohmigosh!

that's all

La Bella, La Jody

Jody sent me an email, and it was so funny I thought I would share it with you.

I did edit it, because I am critical about every written thing. So here's my version of the email she sent me:

One morning, Kate’s husband returned from fishing and decided to take a nap (which is understandable—he woke up early to get the best fish). Although not familiar with the lake where her husband was fishing, Kate decided to take his boat out and do some relaxing of her own. She motored out a short distance, anchored, shoved the fishing gear toward the bow of the boat, and began reading her book.

Along came a game warden in his boat. He pulled up alongside Kate’s boat, turned off his motor, and greeted her. “Good morning, Ma’am. May I ask what you’re doing?”

“Reading a book,” Kate replied, thinking, Isn’t that obvious?

“You’re in a restricted fishing area,” he informed her.

“Yes, officer, but as you can see, I’m not fishing. I’m reading,” she smiled, slightly annoyed. She put her book down to look at the man.

“Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know, you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.”

“For reading a book?” Kate replied.

“You’re in a restricted fishing area,” he informed her again.

“I’m aware of that, officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading.”

“Yes, but you have the equipment so you could start fishing at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.”

Kate opened her book again and resumed reading. She spoke to the game warden. “If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual assault,” she said calmly.

The game warden was shocked. “But I haven’t even touched you,” he said.

“That’s true,” she nodded. A smile slowly crept over her face as she replied, “But you have all the equipment. For all I know, you could start at any moment.”

The game warden thought for a moment.

“Have a nice day, officer,” she said as he started his motor.

“Yes, ma’am,” he replied.

MORALE: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely that she can think as well.
