So where do I start let's see... we went to the fair this past weekend. I wanted to go up north and see my grandma since she was realized finally from having her surgery. She looks 100 times better. I'm sure that she was glad to be home. Since we were up there we went ahead and went to the Miami County Fair. Jason had to go look at Kyle's moms car. The brakes were feeling funny to her so he checked it out for her. My mom watched April and my youngest sister went with us to the fair. It was trying to rain when we first got there so I left my camera in the car. Plus we rode a few rides and it wouldn't have been easy to carry it. It was a bummer leaving it in the car, I could have always walked back and got it, but I really enjoyed not carrying anything lol. Except for my little purple fish I won at a game.
After we got our funnel cakes, we were heading over for the tractor pull and Jason see's this booth. So he goes over and talks to the guys. They were doing helicopter rides. Pretty cheap for a helicopter ride, but it was the first year that they have done them here. So we said what the heck. That was something that I can barely describe... it was just awesome. Jason who gets motion sickness very badly did awesome in it. It was way too cool. We went around the town and I think it was about 6-7 minute ride. It was so worth it. I would love to go up again. Of course I would like for it to be longer, but hey it was so much fun.
After the helicopter ride, we went and watched the truck and tractor pull. They had a pretty good one this year. Had some really good pulls. There were a few pulls where I thought they were going to loose control and go off the track. Over all it was a pretty good day.
After the fair we headed back to my moms to pick up April and while I was there I got to go through a bunch of clothes from sisters from a long time ago and take what I could wear. The biggest shocker was that I tried on a dress, and my new bra size... I use to be a 38 c I'm now in a 34 b... I could not get over it... I still am in shock. It fits so much better.... my other bra was like way to big.... That's when ya know you have lost some weight lol. I brought home a ton of clothes. Some are in really good condition still which is even more cool. I got a really cute skirt. Lot's of shirts. I'm pretty happy since I was not looking forward to going shopping and this saves me money lol. I like being able to wear smaller shirts.
What else.... my other sister is engaged. Found out the other day. Saw the ring Sunday and it's pretty cute. They make such a cute couple. He's very nice and kind to her. So I for sure approve. The wedding should be interesting....
What else... April has really started to like the camera. She wants to take pictures all the time. I keep it hidden as much as I can... she'll just walk about and take pictures of who knows what... I think it's time that we get her own little camera. She knows how to push the button and look at the screen to see what it looks like. She tried to change the channel on the tv too. She knows where the adapter for my mouse goes on the side. She always tries to put it in the usb slot. She can put the key in the ignition lol. Now, if it's the right key way to go, it's usually the other car key, but she has the general idea. She unloads the dish washer for me. She'll hand the dishes up to me and I'll put them in the cabinet. She helps put a new trash bag in the trash can. She even helps me with feeding the cat. She loves feeding the cat. She will try and scoop the litter box if you let her, so we try and stop that. Little too gross for her to be doing that. Yeah, if we let her in the bath room alone she will either start cleaning the toilet or climb up into the sink. Have to be super careful because she has figured out the child safety caps on medication. She will even help prepare her own bath water.
The newest and biggest thing I guess would be the new dog. Brought her home yesterday, and so far she's awesome. She's pure German Shep. She's about 6-7 months we think. She is awesome with April. She passed the food test right away. Not a bit food aggressive, or toy aggressive. She'll let me pull her tail and her ears while she's eating and I can grab the bowl with no problem. She does great with the cat. Great in the car, great on the trailers. the tractors don't scare her, the horses make her bark but that's about it. She doesn't try and play with them or anything. Over all she is great. She loves the pond. They are almost positive that she has been spayed, found what appears the be the spay line. Little scar tissue not a whole lot, but a little. But, if for some reason she hasn't been and does go into heat then we will be getting her spayed but good thing is, we won't have to pay for it.
She knows some basic commands. The only thing that we haven't done is the boundary test which won't be for awhile, until we trust her a little more. She's mostly house broken too which is even better. She stays off the furniture and hopefully we can keep it that way... over all we really like her. She's going to be a very active dog. She loves running so that right there will make sure I keep my butt moving. I can't wait to take her to the dog park and let her run. She will hopefully make a good camping and hiking dog too.
Over all that's about it. Talking to some older friends again... not sure how it's going to go but we'll see. I guess the one thing that people don't understand with me is that I am not the type of person who feels like they have to talk to their friends every single day. You do that with me and I'll get annoyed super quick. Sorry but I run out of things to say and talk about when I talk to the same people every day.... I guess that's why I get along better with some people than others... the ones I get along with best, are the ones I don't talk to every day... some of my friends I don't talk to for days... but it's ok. The world won't come to an end. No I don't rush over and grab my phone first thing in the morning and start texting people. I don't even know where my phone is half the time.
Since I've cut back on that I feel closer with April and even Jason. Also, I have limited text... why am I going to waste all my messages having the same conversation every day? One word answers kill me too.... But I'm guilty of it too some times. With limited messaging you would think you would try to combine messages but no.... we can't do that for some reason... ugh oh well the world isn't coming to an end so it's not that big of a deal. I'm not big on being super close to people... I don't like it. Does that mean I don't like you?? No, it just means that I don't really want you that close to me lol. That's just who I am. I've gone months with out talking to people and then we start talking again, but that's from people who know me and understand.
Wow ok, I think this is long enough for now lol.... didn't realize I was writing a book...
