So Justin's another year older now, which basically means that for the next three months I'm not *that* much older - he's 19, I'm coming up on 21.

21.

How insane is that?

I'll be the first person to turn legal in my group and I don't drink. I plan on laughing at them and all the alcohol I could be buying them. Ha.

Not a lot to report lately, but I'll try.

We're looking into getting a new dog. We've been talking to a breeder about getting an Australian terrier - they're adorable - but I just got her e-mail back today and I'm sorry, but $850 for a dog is crazy. If I was showing the dog or breeding it, maybe, but I just want to play with it and pet it and stuff. I don't need a grand champion dog. I just need a dog. So, yeah, really not sure how that's gonna go.

Umm... I have other stuff, *but* - I use that word way too much - it's late, I'm tired and I need sleep so more later! I promise! Enough 'laters' and I might actually finish this thing before I'm old and gray. Heh. Novel.

First off, my computer is acting up. I opened up FrontPage and it froze so I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Nothing happened. I pressed it again. Nothing happened. I tried to move the mouse and it made this horrid screeching noise, like fingernails on a chalkboard. After listening to that for half a second, I got fed up and just pushed the Reset button. The computer booted up and it seemed to be going fine then I heard this high beeping noise. I was over taking down one of my Christmas trees so I couldn't see the screen. I kind of leaned back, had a look at it and just assumed it was black because it was still in Dos. It was not.

I fixed it, obviously, but I really wish I knew what went wrong. I'm just hoping it doesn't happen again. If it does, well, you won't hear from me for a bit.

I have to go get ready now, it's Justin's birthday, but I'll write more later if we don't get back too late.

Love! Hugs! *Mauh*!

I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad! I'll write more later, I promise, now just isn't a good time what with people coming over and my fingers deciding they don't know how to type, thank you very much - took me *forever* just to type that, it's sad really - but I will, scout's honor, I just want you to know I'm still here, still kicking.

Love!

Hello Hello! I still haven't sent presents either...but then again, I still haven't bought presents. I know I'm bad, but my money has been acting funny, in the sense that it's gone. Had to quit my job, and I can't get another one until I find out what my schedule is going to be in college. BUT, you will get presents, even if they get there in May. lol.

337-828-4865

Had to hurry and put that in before I forgot. There's the phone number, lol.

I was thinking the other day, I usually get all excited when birthdays come around, Can't wait for the parties and junk, but this year, I'm thoroughly unenthused, it's like I don't feel like it should be my birthday yet, and I sure as hell don't feel 19. Damien turned 20 on Dec. 15th and I'm still trying to figure out why, lol. I don't feel like an adult, I mean at 18, I can still be a kid at least, but now, 19, going to college and hell, I still want my Mommy to come with me on the first day...it's crazy.

Oh! Have you guys seen the previews for the movie "Torque" ? The bikes in the movie are MTT Y2K Superbikes, lol. They have turbine engines in them which are almost like jet powered engines, the bikes can go 275 mph and are street legal. I know this because there is only one company in the entire world that makes and sells them, in fact it's the same company that designed and invented them. They also put Turbine engines in cars. There's a Mustang Mach 1, a 1979 Camero, and a Chevy s-10, with the front end of a Rolls Royce. Why does Deb know all this? Why does anyone care, you ask? Well, because that company is here, about 20 minutes from my house and my Mom works there. It's Marine Turbine Technologies, a lil bitty company that has a movie made about their bikes...how spiffy is that? In fact, my Mom's boyfriends son also works there and he's the one that initially designed the bikes, so go see the movie! lol We're proud of our lil hole in the wall company makin big buckeroos, hehe...www.marineturbine.com

Ok, enough of my shamless plugs, lol. Just had to share the excitement. Better go, gotta shower.

Love Love Love
