I don't know what to say today. The day went by uneventfully for the most part. The bird hadn't moved from the spot where I had put it, and in fact, the last time I saw it alive was when it was laying on its back and was breathing hard. I didn't know what to do for it. I laid out seeds, gravel and water for it last night when I let it go...but ( Read more... )

Not much has happened today that's worth noting. I had an orthodontic appointment this morning and was late for my American Literature class because of it. I have an appointment with my surgeon on Friday for another consultation, so I'll let you guys know if I learn anything interesting ( Read more... )

First of all, I just wanted to say that I noticed that some of my entries are centered around Church and religion. I just wanted to apologize if that has made anyone feel uncomfortable or upset, because I honestly had no idea that I was spending so much time on those two topics ( Read more... )

Today I went to the town square with my friend Lynnea and her two birds. They had an art show going on, and her birds attracted a lot of attention, particularly from the younger children. It was nice to see so many smiles today. It's a great feeling to be at least partly responsible for the brightening of someone's day ( Read more... )

As you can probably see from the topic above, my church camp out was NOT postponed. I didn't have enough time to make my potato salad, though. Darn. But my mom did bake a batch of her famous chocolate chip cookies, which are enough to satisfy anybody's sweet tooth ( Read more... )

Today I will be going to the town lake for a church gathering. I'm a little worried, though. The sky is overcast and we've been having off-and-on thunderstorms for a few days now. I hope they don't decide to cancel it...that would be a drag. I'm making my famous potato salad and everything ( Read more... )

I won't go into detail about how I felt or what I thought when I woke up this morning on the second anniversary for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America. I'm sure most of you can figure it out yourselves, based on your own personal experiences. Anger, hurt, devastation, uneasiness, sorrow...all those words come to mind. If there is a ( Read more... )

I've got some time to kill before I head off to class. I'm thinking about stopping by Starbucks and getting a cafe latte...that sounds good right about now. Of course, what I really want to do is crawl back under the covers and sleep for another few hours, but we all know that's not gonna happen, don't we? I hate being the Good One ( Read more... )

I really don't have much to say today. I spent the majority of my day sitting in class and taking notes, but my mind seemed to want to be on everything but school work. You know how it is? You start thinking, "Why is the world the way it is? Why does this happen this way?" Stuff like that. I got in touch with my philosophical side. Some of the ( Read more... )

I'd like to start off by announcing that my jaw surgery will take place no later than November 1st. That's guaranteed, folks. What's not guaranteed is how the surgery will be performed or how long my recovery time will take. I will be wired shut for about three to eight weeks, and I will be "eating" through a syringe. I will also be documenting ( Read more... )
