Let's Pack up and Move to California

     Day 5                                                                                                     Friday

  Thesauruses are fun! For example - humid, muggy, sticky, oppressive, heavy, damp and stuffy are all great words that come to the same thing! That it is a hot, bug infested day, where no living creature can escape the overwhelming desperation to go throw themselves into a pool.
Sad thing is, though everybody feels like this not everyone has a pool.
And even more devastating is that I do not have a pool. I know, it makes your heart cry out does it not? But please for your sake do not let the tears flow so swiftly on my account, I would not wish for your heart to break. 
So here I sit basking in my sorrows instead of on a floaty in the middle of a (it hurts to even think of the word) pool. 
There I have poured myself out before you, I shall go weep in a corner now.
  I don't think I could ever write a tragic romance novel, I think that's as tragic as I can get.
My inspiration to write like Jane Austen has left as quick as it came. Though I still wish we had a pool.
  I'm going to go make a million friendship bracelets now to take my mind off the water... oh I wish I could live in the ocean, don't you? I love swimming it's my favorite sport, I think it should be everybody's favorite sport it's just so amazing...
Yah, I really need to go do something else.

When it Rains it Pours

     Day 4                                                                                                          Thursday

  I like rain, I know everyone says rain is depressing and makes everything gloomy but from my point of view I think rain makes the world look fresher and newer.
Also I think rain makes you feel sleepy unless your dancing in it and getting utterly soaked, which is exactly what I did. :) 
Another thing, it is really hard to try and get freshly mowed, wet grass off your feet, just sayin', it ends up being spread to the kitchen floor and then ends up back on your feet because you tend to walk on the kitchen floor.

Gravel driveways also become very muddy when they get wet.

  Pet's are very cute and I love animals but a stinky, wet and a very whiny dog that is scared of thunder is enough to give anyone a headache, believe me.
Most things when they have been washed and cleaned smell good! But no not dogs, that's for sure, when dogs get wet they give off one of the worst smells on this planet. 
So if you want some advice, if you have a dog that's bigger than a toaster don't get him wet under any circumstances! 
(I'm most probably wrong to tell the truth but this gives me an excuse to rant about our putrid smelling animal. :)
  Heres a list of things I like about May.

     With it comes flowers because of April showers,

Spring is at it's peak and Spring is my favorite time of year,

May is super easy to spell,

In Dutch it's still really easy to spell (Mei),

School is almost done for the summer

  I have to go enjoy the last days of May now.

The Road Goes Ever on and on

     Day 3                                                                                                          Wednesday
  
  There are so many things in this world that you can get too much of, for example being in the car for hours on end is something you can get tired of very quickly.
This week I have spent sixteen hours in the car altogether not adding the short trips to the store and other places. 
When all your relatives live in distant far off lands there is much too much driving involved just to visit them for a few days.

Half way there

  Now I'm not saying that five seater cars are all bad but they really shouldn't call them five seater because they really only fit four people and a half, if you actually try and stuff five fully grown people in the seats you end up sitting on top of one another.

The first couple hours of the car trip I think are quite relaxing actually because you can listen to music, catch up on your reading, all that sort of stuff but when your nearing the end of four hours you start to go a bit crazy, wait scratch that you go totally bonkers, loopy, bats in the belfry! 

I shall elaborate on that and describe in detail what happened to my family and I.

  Someone, I will name no names has had the same line of a song stuck in her head for two hours and has been singing it over and over and over again, the person in the front seat is glaring at the people in the back seat and giving them a lecture on how it can't actually be that uncomfortable if we would all stop over reacting, and the person on the other side of you won't stop complaining about how my elbow is in his face. 

If you have ever been in a situation like that you can understand why on arriving I kissed the solid ground.

  If I disappear for a few days I haven't died or been kidnapped I'm just walking to the store.

Smells Like Fish

     Day 2                                                                                                                  Tuesday

  Have you ever seen a crawdad before? If not I will explain.

They are small little lobster looking things, that have five thousand little crawly legs, eyes that stick out of there heads sort of like a snails and two big pincers that grab anything that ventures too close.

My first and lasting impression is that they are atrociously ugly and overall rather creepy, but I will admit there is something fascinating about them, like how they swim backwards... that's the only good point that I can think of right now. Sorry crustacean lovers, I'm not the type of person who likes studying things that give you the nails on chalkboard feeling whenever you look at them. 

What's with the sudden interest in crawdads you may want to know? Well when you are fishing in certain spots they tend to grab your line and give it the death hold until you jerk them off and then they go flying into the people behind you. 

Oddly enough they don't seem so frightening if they are holding a dandelion. (Future advice if someone is freaking out over how gross they are.)

  I have made a Haiku on fishing:       

I think worms are gross

rat tail worms are even worse

but the fish like them

  

  You see your sister sitting in a tree right over the water and you had to do one of the two things below, which one would you choose?

(a) Point and yell bee!

(b) Join her

Think about it, I did, this is what I imagined what would have happened in both situations.

1.  Ahhh!!! She falls over lands with huge splash into the water and comes out dripping with green seaweed hanging from her hair, I get in trouble.

2. Ahhh!!! The branch breaks and we both land with a volcanic splash into the water and come out dripping with green seaweed hanging from our hair, with both get in trouble for doing something so dumb.

  I chose number two, doing something silly together is a lot more fun than doing it alone.

Dentists... Need I say more?

     Day 1                                                                                                                         Monday

  I'm not going to say "Dear Blog" or "Hi Everyone!" because I personally think that's kind of cheesy and I don't even like cheese.

  This blog is going to be about all the little boring things in my life. (Hyperbolized to make them interesting.)  

  I went to the dentist today and got a filling for the first time, actually it was two fillings wich means I had twice as much time to sit and think about how much I would love to pass out that second.

  Problems with the dentist

1. They give you the identical toothbrush as everyone else so you end up using your brothers which is just gross.

2. He tries to have a conversation with you when your mouth is pried half a foot wide and he's poking at least five metal things into your mouth.

3. They have needles

4. They have needles

5. They have needles

I have made a vow never to go to the dentist ever again, it's like paying thousands of dollars to be put through TORTURE. 

But life goes on and trauma is pushed to the back of our minds, unless were weird and then we dwell on it for years and then turn into evil scientists and try to take over the world.

I might have watched too many movies lately, I apologize if my mind wanders into the unknown.
