Tea, Crumpets, and Chocolate Chip Cookies

So I haven't written for a while....okay a long time!

  Well the events of my life are most likely boring to you right now but I have to pack.   I hate packing with a passion!  Everything you have to remember and then the things you can't pack until the very last minute (e.g. toothbrush, deodorant.....at least I hope people don't pack those a week in advance and not use them!)  But this is the ultimate packing.   College.  Now I have most of everything written down on a list, but I have that undeniable feeling of forgetting something.  And I am almost sure that when we are about halfway down to Tulsa, I will remember.....and be mad.  So that is how my day will be spent along with watching my 7 brothers and sisters plus 1 cousin.  My parents are down at the Straw Poll today to vote and will be gone pretty much all day.  This ought to be interesting being I am not considered the high authority in the house (the whole "mom wouldn't have done that!"  or the "I'm calling mom!")  and will have to keep them entertained. 

    But enough about that, lately I have found the time to read.  I LOVE  to read but never have the time!  The latest?  The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.  A novel by Mark Haddon.  It is written from the point of a 15 year old autistic student.  He is incredibly gifted in maths and does not like it when people touch him.  The reason for the title is that in the very beginning, a dog that he likes is murdered and he wants to solve the mystery.  But that is all I can say without giving it away for those of you who might be interested in reading it! 

   Latest joke?  His face was drawn but the curtains were real. 

Have a good day everyone!

Hi! I've enjoyed reading your posts so I thought I'd just leave all my comments here. :)

Congrats on your graduation! I hope the best for you as you attend college. I have two daughters attending college in Texas and I miss them greatly. I'm sure your family will miss you as well.

And, "Hahaha" at your one-liners. Thanks for posting those. I think my daughters and I probably have the same sense of humor as you and your friend do. My oldest tells me how many of her new friends in Texas just stare at her when she's talking and joking around. They don't get her. But she always totally cracks me up. :)
