Lily and I were jumping into our cold tubI, and as we’re both walking from the steps to the deeper end, she says, “I’m going to puke.”
Last I’d checked, she looked fine, had already jumped in five times, and wasn’t running to the grass. She looked as if, if she was going to puke, she were planning on doing it on the deck.
I said, “No, you’re not!”
I figured she was just trying to get attention, be cute, or be annoying, and carried on walking to the deep side.
Then, as I was climbing up to the little fountain at the top of the tub, from which we jump, Lily states, “I just puked.”
Incredulous at the lack of reality in her brain, I turned to her and said, “No you didn’t!”
She laughed, “No. I just like saying that word.”
You can like saying words.
Even if they’re strange (i.e. puke, vomit, etc.).
But you just don’t around saying you’re puking just because you like saying the word.
It’s a life lesson. Blow your nose on it.

I What someone might call a POOL, but what doesn’t deserve the title because it’s too small to be a pool.
You’re thirteen!
I’m not sure if that’s a good thing!
It probably isn’t!
But I guess when you are obnoxious I can just put it down to teenage moodiness, and make you feel like a stupid cliche.
You should get one of these cars:
If you received a phone call, wherein the caller id read “****** KATE” or “KATE ******” or “****** JOHN” or “****** JOHN”, but the caller said they were someone, and that someone was obviously not related to a ******, that wasn’t me.
In case you were wondering.
Basically, the story, is thus: Lily and Jack both had a friend(s) over today. At the point when Jack had one friend, and Lily two, they were all hanging out in the Office, in which our home phone is located.
Now, the stories disagree, but SOMEONE suggested that they prank call people.
So they did.
I’m not really sure how prank calling works when basically everyone has caller id and thus can see whocalled, but apparently to these kids, of course they would believe that the pizza guy is calling from the ******’s phone!
So that’s why it wasn’t me. Cause I don’t think it makes sense.
But it might’ve been my siblings. Cause to them, that’s logic.
*Sigh* Madeleine wonders at the naivety of children.
So, I’m on the bus home from summer camp, yesterday, and I’m calling my mom to tell here what time to be at church to pick us up. (It must be noted here, that the drive from near Kimberly in the Free State to Centurion in Gauteng is a 9.5-10 hour drive.)
She says great, she’ll see us at 9pm at Eastside, and then says she has some news. To quote, she says: “Guess what! We’re moving at 7 in the morning tomorrow!”
It’s not funny. We have mostly moved, but we’re still carting some stuff from Midstream to Midlands. Andthe Bali house is not quite finished yet; they are still cleaning, and must put handles on the cabinets and paint the wood that goes along the bottom of a wall tomorrow.
That’s okay though!
If you haven’t seen the Apple “Get a Mac” ads, you must go watch them now. They are ingenious, funny, and, while sometimes exaggerated, quite true to the often true stereotypes of both computers.
I will wait for you to watch them. As you must watch them.
Really, now; you can’t think that I honestly believe you’ve watched them, do you? Go. Now.
You can’t even use lame internet as an excuse, because my favorite (V-word) is only 30seconds long, and no more than 2 megabytes.
Okay. By this point, either you are apathetic enough that you wouldn’t have enjoyed them, or you have watched them, as you should have.

Now, go watch these three parodies by Windows.
Are you really going to sit and stare at me all over again?
Must we really go through the whole process?
Very well.
I will wait for you to watch them. As you must watch them.
Really, now; you can’t think that I honestly believe you’ve watched them, do you? Go. Now.
You can’t even use lame internet as an excuse, because none of the three is larger than 4 megabytes.
We have finally picked a house to move to, and will be releasing the shackles of these obnoxious rentees on the 15th of December!
As I know you have all been sitting on the edge of your sits, day and night, for the last month, to see where we move, or if we were going to move at all, I will announce to you the house of our choosing.
Drum rolll please!
We
have
chosen
You will, I presume, especially after I point this out to you, that the house as listed as”no longer available to let”. This is because we will be renting the house.
The advantages as taken from my perspective (which, given that this is my website, that is all you will most likely ever get) are as follows:
