You know, if Pride and Prejudice was a bit boring, now we have Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
“Pride and Prejudice and Zombies – Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the original text of Jane Austen’s beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Complete with 20 illustrations in the style of C. E. Brock (the original illustrator of Pride and Prejudice), this insanely funny expanded edition will introduce Jane Austen’s classic novel to new legions of fans.”

I have a question for all of you. How do you pronounce ‘Herbal’?
Is it: her ball?
Is it: her bul?
Is it: er ball?
Is it: er bul?
Is it something I haven’t thought of?
The sign on the church (at which the homeschool choir occurs) indicating where the female and male bathrooms are reads:
I’m kind of at a loss for words. It’s a permanent sign. Wouldn’t people make sure permanent signs were correct?
And if they wanted it to be possessive, it should be dames’ and men’s.
So that doesn’t explain it.
You just don’t pluralize the easy, well known word man (like foot to feet) mens.
For VerB this Friday (tomorrow) I have to dress up as a superhero.
I got like 50% of my hair bleached. So I look kind of blonde.
It’s pretty awesome.
In a couple days to a week, I’ll dye my hair bright red.
That’ll be maybe a week before we go to England.
I guess I should probably mention that we’re going to England February first. We get back the thirteenth. Without my dad.
He’ll be heading to Barcelona for a conference for his company.
The Friday we get back? The 13th of February? That’s the day Family Camp starts. So we’ll get back, and then later that day drive to a retreat-esque place for FC until Sunday.
We’re a little crazy (in case you missed it, the crazy hair, crazy travel, etc.), but at least it’s fun!

P.S. Sorry I haven’t been posting. TIA (‘This Is Africa’ or ’This Isn’t America’) and the internet here doesn’t always often mostly always doesn’t work.
I went to the bathroom in Centurion mall, and someone, who I couldn’t identify, was blaring music from their personal speakers.
In the bathroom.
Worst of all, this unknown (hopefully female) character couldn’t decide on a song to listen to, and kept flipping songs.
You just don’t blast your own music in a public restroom.
My mom got a defender about a week ago, a 7 year old defender 110.
As the car was old, it needed a little TLC: re-tinting of the windows, cleaning, general care, and, what didn’t get done before we got it, the of the steering wheel.
We dropped the car off at the Hi-Q, and were told it would be two hours.
If it had been a shorter wait, we would’ve just hung out, but a two hour wait constitutes doing something more. The guy at Hi-Q pointed out that Centurion Mall was three or four blocks away. Being adventurous folks, we left for our slight trek.
With just one problem: Claire had no shoes. This meant, that in the drizzle, all six of us, including a shoeless Claire, and three year old Roderick, were walking through dirty streets to a mall.
After our unreasonable walk to the mall, complete with me carrying Claire piggyback, we arrived, ate lunch, shopped around bought Claire shoes, found a BIG sale at a book store, and bought a small umbrella stroller. Walking out of the mall to return to the car place, we passed a store that Sunny Side Up had noticed had canopies (for her bed).
While Sunny was looking for the canopies, my mother had been eyeing some red pillows. As Lily finished picking her canopy, my mom picked out two ginormous red pillows to bring home while walking.
So there we were, with tons of purchases, and two large pillows. Walking. In the slight rain.
You just don’t buy large pillows when walking.
