Waters Keep Rising

It's stopped raining...but a ton of people are draining water from somewhere...and I have no idea *how* exactly they're draining...but they are. So, now our little place that holds all the water, is close to flooding. I think it's called Addicks-Fairbanks...or just Addicks. Something like that. Anyway, so they closed all these roads....major highways. It's crazy. Sooo today, Grace Anne didn't come. And neither did we go to ballet. My teacher (or, I guess, my teacher's daughter) replied to my mom's email, and said, that if it rained any more they wouldn't be able to get out of their driveway. Scary thought, huh? You see all these pictures, and shows on the weather channel...and don't really think about how it *could* happen to you. God is so amzingly good to keep us safe. 

Today is the LAST DAY OF APRIL. I have several comments on this. 

1. Bask in the last day of Aprilness, peoples. It's just...something you should do. Lol. There are only 4 and 1/2 hours left of April. For me anyway.
2. SCHOOL IS ALMOST OUT!!!!!!!
   

Joey told me that if a person uses more than 5 exclamation points...it's a sign of insanity. I laughed, I hope you did too. But, I'm kinda going insane with school almost being over. It's like wanting so bad, that's so close to you, you can feel it. But it's just out of your reach.

Wow, this is like...philosophical night for me or something...

The sun set this evening was beautiful. The sky was pink, clouds various shades of dark blue and light purple, and this sun was this HUGE burst of orange. It's not really orange...it's like...a.....the color looks like fresh, wet, orange. That's a weird way to describe it, but...that's what I think of, lol. It was slowly going down, and little wisps of clouds were lazily drifting in front of it - giving it the look that Spring is almost over, and Summer is almost here *major grin* Just the word "summer" is a happy thing. The thought, the sound, the way it's pronounced. It's just happy.  Summer is full of new sights to be seen (like...at the mall...dude, that is so much fun. People could seriously, like right a book about the people they see at the mall in one day. it's amazing.) things to smell (like...sun-screen. I love that smell) (Oh, and I could never forget...Sharpies! OF COURSE! ^.^ Yes, peoples. I like the smell of Sharpies. lol) All the fun knitting classes that will be available to take. Sleep-overs to have, to stay up late, and not worry about the next morning's math lesson, and if you'll have an epic fail like the day before.  All the fun books to read...the list is endless! 

We have a new car :-) You know how families are known by the kind of car they drive? Like, if you happen to drive a huge 15 passenger van, you're known by "The family who drives the huge 15 passenger van" or something fo the sort, lol. We are, or we were known as the "Family with the black expedition" . Nooot anymore :-) We had that car for 8 years, and it had more than 100,000 miles on it...or something like that. It's amazing how attached you can get to a car. We...drove to Houston in that car, my mom and I...and Bertie, lol. So, we kinda went through a lot in that car. Ok, this sounds stupid...getting sentimental over a car? Craaaazy. Nooow, we have a Highlander...that's this AMAZING blue color...it's so awesome. It's a summer-y blue :-D We're going to call the car, itself "Panda". And the navigation system inside, "Dory". People who know us, or me, we love to name things. Our other navigation system is called "Nadine":-)

As in, D.W's imaginary friend from the PBS, kid tv show Arthur.

Also, a sad thing has ocurred. I'm almost out of yarn for my Clapotis. Total saddness! We *were* planning on going to the yarn store today...cause ballet is kinda close to it. But. the streets were closed and/or flooded, so we couldn't go to ballet, and so therefore no yarn store. I think we're planning on going on Saturday, when my dad will be driving :-)

Better go! Time to finish that ball of yarn, and watch "4:50 at Paddington" (Miss Marple) with me mom :-) 

Happy last day of April! Enjoy it while you can...! *is in a very strange mood*

Valete Omnes :-)
