Today was very, very eventful. Abby, Amy, Mary and I were suppose to go to the cape for today and tomorrow, but because of the rain, we decided that was a no. So, instead, Amy picked me up at 10am this morning. We ended up heading to Rhode Island - Block Island, to be exact. We rented mopeds, which are the coolest things ever. You need a license, so the adults just drove and the us girls rode on the back. Next time I go back to Block Island, I will have my license and I will def. rent a moped! The guys working at the shop were probably fearing for our lives.

I'll update more tomorrow. I'm going to bed.

Just had to add this...

I'll leave you with this - ain't it a knee-slapper? I thought so anyway.

A professor at the University of Kentucky is giving a
lecture on the supernatural. To get a feel for his
audience, he asks: "How many people here believe in
ghosts?" About 90 students raise their hands.

"Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who
believe in ghosts, do any of you think you've ever seen
a ghost?" About 40 students raise their hands.

"That's really good. Has anyone here ever talked to a
ghost?" 15 students raise their hands.

"That's great. Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" 3
students raise their hands.

"That's fantastic. But let me ask you one question
further... Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?"
One student way in the back raises his hand.

The professor is astonished and says, "Son, all the
years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever
claimed to have slept with a ghost. You've got to come
up here and tell us about your experience."

The redneck student replies with a nod and a grin, and
begins to make his way up to the podium. The professor
says, "Well, tell us what it's like to have sex with a
ghost."

The student replies, "Ghosts?!? From way back there I
thought you said "goats."

I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 with my mom yesterday. What an amazing movie.

Well...

Thu, 29 Jul 2004 02:50:43 GMT

Okay, so I did have an extremely weird dream after talking about weird dreams. My family and friends went on vacation. But when we got to the house, it was half done (it was actually a real local house that in the middle of being built for Habitat for Humanity), as in walls were half built, windows weren't in. It was weird. Anyways, the next thing I remember from the dream was I lay down on the couch. The couch was pulled up way close to the TV, like when my sister and her boyfriend watch a movie at my house. I watched TV for awhile and then I fell asleep. I was suppose to work at 6. I woke up and the time on the TV was 5:55 so I run to get ready and get out the door, but the kitchen clock said 6pm. I was so pissed off. I called my work and one of my co-workers was mad at me because I was gonna be 10 minutes late. I got there and my boss walks in at the same time as me. I was so worried that she was gonna be mad at me, but surprisingly she wasn't at all. That was the end of the dream. Talk about weird.

P.S. I stole Barbie Team Gymnastics from the girls I babysit...I love myself
