Ah, such is life...

Good times and bad times.

I had a marvelous time at "Uncle Sven's" (slur the 's' in Sven to say it right) yesterday. He gave me a bunch of nice comments about my story. Really wasn't what I expected to hear, but I'm glad. He mostly asked about the pendents in the story. How they worked, how one got one, when did one get one, etc. It really made me think and he gave me some nice ideas. XD; He also said, "Is something going to happen to make the main character more sympathetic?"

It was a blast being over with Jenn and "Uncle Sven" yesterday. I had fun with those two.

After that, I went over to Sarah and Gabe's for dinner. Ethan got to play with his first glow stick, because I brought along the one I bought at a store the other day.

Now, this morning. Got up, got ready to work on 4-H projects. Quite obviously. The main surprise was that I had an email from Mr. Casey. Apparently, his email had been broken for about three weeks. So, I emailed him back.

Mom's just a little frustrating this morning. I don't think she realizes how stifling she is to this whole family. She's almost always pessimistic about everything. When she's happy, it's about something stupid, like music or a new movie. At least that's how things seem to be.

I just can't figure her out. How hard is it to close four Internet windows when you're done with them? Three having to do with Spider Man 3 in some shape or form, and one a server could not be found. The last one is the one that's confusing me the most; why wouldn't she close it? And, somehow, she'd rather waste her time going up and down stairs to close the windows she failed to close earlier.

I guess it may be for the better. By doing this, maybe she'll actually start to change her habits about leaving windows open so she doesn't have to trek up and down stairs. Maybe.
