I promise, and I deliver. Another post. Yay!
Wow, summer went as quick as it came, didn't it? I felt I did nothing, but a lot all at once, if that made any sense whatsoever >_< Part of me wants nothing more than to have another month of summer, while the rest of me just wants to go back to school to get it over with. :P
Hmm, so what has happened since the last post? Uhh, my brother Andrew turned 19 on the 7th. Happy belated to you, big bro. My grandmother on my father's side also had her birthday on the 7th. Crazy, eh?
Funny, Andrew did exactly what I assumed he would do the second he turned 19: Bought a lot of beer. My other brother, Mark, did the same thing as well last year when he turned 19. Well, as long as they're not idiots about it, I'm fine with it.
Hmm . . . What else has happened? I know there was something....
Oh Geez! Silly me! After like, 4 months we finally sold our house and I shall be moving October 2nd! Finally! Haha, I haven't even lived in this house for a full year and I'm glad to be rid of it. It's not that there's nothing wrong with the house itself. It's cute! But it's way too small for 5 people (and six animals!). Mark is sleeping in the garage for heaven's sake! And we don't have a backyard so my poor dogs are cramped in the house all day! I personally don't mind the size. I could live with it fine.
You want to know the real reason why I'm excited about moving? I get my own bathroom! :P Well, actually, I don't think I can call it a bathroom entirely....it's got the toilet, it's got a shower, but it doesn't have a sink!!!
What were these people on when they built that bathroom?! Now, I'm not a professional, but if there weren’t enough room for all three, I'd settle without the shower and put a sink in instead. That's just.... weird. What are you supposed to do? Wash your hands and brush your teeth in the shower? That's just . . . silly. Oh well, my grandpa is going to be doing a lot of renovations with that house, and adding a sink is going to be one of those things on the list. Probably last, though. Which doesn't really bother me since my grandpa is retired. Which means he'll have everything done instantly since he's so bored. :P
Hehe, I just love to ramble about that bathroom. It's just SO.... silly!
This whole moving thing did sort of come at a bad time, since my father is done with his training in the Navy and is going to be on ship for weeks at a time. Which is why we decided we're going to be lazy when we move and hire movers to do it for us. :P We've done this so many times (this should be my 10th house I've moved to) we usually move everything ourselves. But with my father gone, and everyone working, the herd is thinned out just a tad and we need to get everything done as soon as possible. Mostly because if we don't, it will never get done!
Proof: I had a room without proper floors for 4 years. My dad ripped up the carpet, but never finished putting the hardwood in. Why? Because he started renovating it, but something else came up (can't quite remember) and never finished it. I lived with plywood with nails sticking out. :P They're great for tripping on and ripping up your feet!
I remember every month asking:
"Daddy? When are you going to finish my room?"
"Uhh, soon, Moo-Moo. It'll get done." Ha. He turned the living room into a house of lies! He promised me bookshelves at this house and I never got them, either. My old laundry basket has been just fine for my books! Err...not.
Aww, well. Forgive and forget. I love my father, so I can't stay mad.
And yes. My father does call me Moo-Moo. Don't bother asking why. I've given up trying to figure it out years ago. And it still embarrasses the crap out of me.
But in all seriousness, the new house will be great. It has the space everyone needs, and we finally have a backyard! The only thing my mother seems to worry about though:
"We don't have a mantle . . . Or a fireplace! What the heck are we going to do with your Christmas stockings?!"
She's obsessed with Christmas. At least decorating, anyways.
I'm glad anyways. The thought of a fat old guy obsessed with children climbing down my chimney scares the heck out of me. Why not just break in through the door like a normal criminal?
Whoa, this sure is a long one. I best be off and do that sleep thing I've been told so much about. I have work in less than 12 hours >_<;;
Ta-ta for now!
