We went to Plainview to my parents house yesterday, and had Christmas again. We accidentally slept in again. It's so hard to get up when it's so cold in outside the bed. My parents want to give us an electric blanket, but they make colby nervous, and I know i'll never get out of bed if i had one of those. I'd still like to have one, though.

We made the one point two five hour drive when we woke up (after a piece toast with Jelly and butter). We brought our ps2 and some games, and instead of watching some lame-o movie, colby, ted (my sister, rachel's husband) and i played my new Harry Potter Quidditch world cup game. We had ham and funeral potatoes at dinner (it's a utah thing), and then we opened presents. I bought Amy a blue glitter lava lamp(I bought it off Ebay from Nicolette), and some old city snow flake soap. We also got Isaac the sleep book (Dr. Seuss), and Rachel and Ted a DVD player. I got some drawing pencils and stuff and an art pad, and a hat/gloves/scarf set with some warm knit socks from Nikki baby and Travis. Travis and Nicolette gave Travis a Ripley's believe it or not book, and some pajama pants. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Mom and Dad got DVDs from everybody (including me) and we forgot they don't have a DVD player, and finally my mom says,"Well terry, we need to go buy one i guess." and the next thing she opened was a DVD player from Travis and Nicolette. and mum says, "ooooh!"

ps i don't know if that link is gonna work, not sure why not. just go to ebay.com and click advanced search, search by seller, and type in acmommy812 to get Nicolette's for sale stuff.

"tip your delivery driver boy" that's what anne says. her husband delivers for dominos. remember the noid from dominos? avoid the noid. i wonder if his car is fixed yet. he's been washing dishes until he gets enough to deliver again, but i'm feeling way to anti social to approach her and ask. it's weird, sometimes it seems i can't keep my mouth shut, and sometimes i can't open it.

i got up at 8:00am. i was at work by 10am. we didn't have to be here until 2pm. i was/am still chafed about that. so we went to rachel's house here in lubbock (since we live 30 minutes from work, we can't exactly go home and come back, well we could, but it's not worth it) and we saw the itsikah, and did the 8 minutes taebo work out and took a big nap. now were back at work, and there's no work. i wanna curl up and be numb.

carl and damon learned me how to break an elbow and dislocate a shoulder today! AND i learned how to get out of a choke hold. we ran out of work at 4:15 or so, and i'm here till 11pm. wow. i think i need a break. i had a dream i got fired because i let jessie into the 15th floor of convergys and got caught by alicia. and marren was running around up there too.

i got a B in Geology, Amy.

So I don't presently fit any emoticon and this screen keeps changing colour. The Reverend Horton Heat is playing tonight, and I'm not going--hence, Carl and I are sad. The Thrift Store Cowboys are opening up for 'em which is cool since I used to be their utility player--alackaday....

According to Carl who heard the gut spilling of some to-do type fella (Manager of our area for the client we hail), they're pulling their contract so it seems the anemic workload we've had will again diminish 'til they can come up w/ a new client. Not that I care so much, just need enough steady labor to save up $10,000 to buy some studio gear. Looks like I'll be able to reach my goal by August; so for now I study study study about all this sound stuff and get crazy off the anticipatory I-don't-know-what. Pirates are cool.

So many scenarios I can spend days on to no decent or, at any rate, helpful end. Wu Name is Dizzy Cow. I'm rapt w/ bleh. "Dream A Little Dream Of Me," has been in my head awhile now. All the best & beautiful melodies are taken sometimes I feel. Jethro Tull, now that was a flute playing band I can dig. The wooden springs that trickle past and I wonder what's been trodden therein. Little Davy Daverson, we miss you.

last night we found a canine tooth in the floor. okay, so all of my dog's teeth are canine, but it's the vampire one, y'know. so we're all woah, that's crazy. we've never had puppies before, is this normal? so i called my dad and asked him, i was about the same age as my dog, George when i was growing up, so i don't have much recollection of his puppy days. he says "i dunno, i'll look it up on the internet." my dad is the look-it-up-on-the-internet king! on sunday he printed up 5 pages of backgammon rules after i got the game out and started making up my own.

anyway, well, then this morning, i had forgotten about the tooth thing, and there was this other, longer tooth in the floor, and i start freaking out and called the vet and she answers the phone and i say

"are dogs teeth supposed to fall out?"

"what?"

"are dogs teeth supposed to fall out!?"

"whose?"

"DOGS."

"oh yeah, like kids, their teeth fall out at about 6 months, and they grow their adult ones."

*sigh* "okay, thanks, bye."

well at the rate of one tooth a day, she better get t'growin, because we'll have to switch to soft canned food before long, and we all know what soft canned food poop is like. (if you don't, consider yourself fortunate). by the way this is the same dog that ate my dried valentines day flowers and puked about 15 times in the living room floor. i guess this is the part of 'terrier' i didn't understand.
