wow...it's been a really long time since i've updated. so this week is my spring break off from school and here's what has happened so far...

on monday i woke up..my first day of spring break to find about 3 or 4 in. of water covering the basement floor. there were alot of storms sunday night so i thought that's why...but it wasn't. had nothing to do with the storms. our hot water heater broke. so that was a whole lot of fun, my dad was shoveling out water from the basement until some guys came to look at it. and i hating to shower, had put it off for a while now and was going to shower that morning., but of course we had no water. so my mom tells me that with all the stuff we have to do now, we won't be able to go down to my college i'm attending in the fall. we were going to go down there tuesday and spend the night. so knowing those plans were cancelled, i went ahead and called michelle. it was funny cause i asked her if i could come over to shower. yah, so she said she and the fam were out for the day and probably wouldn't be home until 9 at night and when i told her i wasn't going to go to that college anymore, she asked if i could watch the boys for her tuesday morning. so she said i could go ahead and come over then and spend the night. she gave me the code to open her garage and i headed over there...took a shower...watched some of her cable, what a treat since i don't have it...i read some and watched some of the everwood dvds i had..and they were home by 9. blake was already asleep and riley headed to bed. oh..so then michelle and her husband turned on the basketball game and watched that and i went ahead and finished reading my book...you know..cause basketball is soooo boring! i spent the night there and blake went ahead and woke me up in the morning...at least it wasn't until 8...i got to sleep some...heheh...so i played with blake and riley all day while michelle got stuff ready for her new house. they sold their house now so they have to get everything ready to move into the new house. and then later on riley was supposed to go to swimming practice but when we got there, it must have been cancelled cause the pool was locked and so we headed over to the park and played before it was their bedtime. on the way home blake threw a big fit about not wanting to go home and stuff...and he cried so hard he threw up on himself. it was pretty gross...so then michelle said i could stay another night which i did...and again the next morning i woke up at 8...i went with michelle to some of the stores she had to go to. we looked at alot of hardwood floor types...and then i went home.

when i came home the house stunk. there are large fans blowing in the basement to air stuff out. there's a large storage unit in our driveway to put the stuff from our basement in there...nothing of importance really got ruined..cause hey, it's our junky basement..alot of the old gross dirty furniture my dad got from other ppl's garbage got ruined so hey, we actually can get rid of it now..so that's a good thing. we finally are cleaning out our basement. good-bye to my dad's junk! well, most of it. the good thing about it going this way is we get some money out of it through the insurance, even if we weren't even using the furniture...and my mom secretly loaded up her car and took stuff up to goodwill to donate. and since i love the tv downstairs so much i brought it up to my room and put it on my dresser along with the dvd/vcr player. it's really too big for my room since i share it with my sister but it's only temporary until i get my basement back...at least now i can lock the door when i'm watching something so my brother can't come in..the computer on the other hand, has been moved into the kitchen. my dad just got a new battery backup thing and now i can get on it. so i'm on right now while they all went to captain d's to eat dinner. i don't know how this is going to work having the computer in a place where ppl are around like all the time. oh well...they say this is only temporary too but how long does it take before our basement is completely dry? it's already thursday...

so yesterday i actually took my brother up to target with me and i got full house season 3, that's what i've been watching. it came out tuesday and i absolutely love that show...i got the first two already, now i'm watching the third season. i can't wait to get them all!!! and that was the first time i probably went inside a store like that by myself since i got my license, well my brother was with me..but my mom wasn't. it's weird, i don't know why i don't like going to stores..i just don't. the christian bookstore is different though, i've been there plenty of times, the library as well. i went there today, i had some books on hold. i have to go to the other one tomorrow cause i have books on hold there too. i'd like to hang out with little amanda sometime, maybe sunday after church is she's got stuff to do tomorrow. i think i'm going to carson's 2nd b-day party on sat. with michelle. carson is devon's son...taylor's brother. devon told me i could come if i wanted too...and i'm already having to miss the easter egg hunt in the morning cause i have to work but this will be later in the day and i have nothing to do then. guess that's all i should say now and go get caught up on some other stuff on here before the rest of my family gets home...
