Well, I can't think of a whole lot that's new here...

My good friend Josh got married last month and isn't responding to my emails. I think he might be upset with me...at least, I'm a pessimist...so I always think of bad reasons why he isn't emailing me back. Who knows...it could have NOTHING to do with me...and I would still think I did something or said something wrong.

I'm trying to keep busy with school and work. Right now I'm only get about 5 hours a week at Double JJ...either on Saturday or Sunday. But I will be getting several hours Thanksgiving weekend. So if anyone needs a babysitter (or even just want someone to visit)during the week...except Wednesdays...I'm totally free. I was invited by BETA XI XI, from MCC, to join "International Honor Society" for keeping at least a 3.5 GPA. The problem is, it cost 70 dollars more than I can afford. So I guess this is the official "Press Release".

My Mom is having surgery hand the week of Thanksgiving. She is a cyst on her hand, as well as a Trigger finger, that are both causing her a lot of pain. My Dad is stocking up on fire wood (even though we don't have a fireplace), but we did just buy a wood stove for the garage, so I think we're all set. My brother is driving me insane...I swear, sometimes he brings out the 10 year old in me. Any one with a ten year old knows what I mean. Amanda is keeping busy with homework. She's currently taking Sociology, Chemistry, and some other classes intended for at least Junior year. I took Sociology Junior year and it wasn't too bad. Kristina was trying to do regular classes this school year, but had to go back into Study Skills.

Both Rion and Kristina were sick a couple weeks ago...my Mom thought they had H1N1. I'm just SO glad they are healthy again...for multiple reasons...1) They're (of course) not sick...2) Now they aren't taking over the ENTIRE living room...3) They aren't WHINING CONSTANTLY. They are back to their usual obnoxious, annoying selves...but I guess I would rather have that than whining. So, no surprise, I'm still spending most of my time in my room. I NEED A LIFE...or if not a life, at least somewhere to go so I'm not cooped up in my room.

We're back to being the Hanes' SPCA...I'll get back to what SPCA stands for (in regards to my crazy family). We have 10 cats...4 normal size, 1 kind of normal size, 1 hobbit, 2 midgets, 1 super midget, and 1 kitten...and every single one of them is CRAZY in there own special way. China is doing well, but getting up there age wise. She's 11 this year (77 in dog years), and just like any typical woman of age, she doesn't want to be reminded of it. And Trixie is a chubby little spoiled monster.

So I guess I didn't do too bad for not believing I had anything new to report. We'll see how long it takes me til next time.
