I FEel Good

I missed my puppy

Da-nana-nana-nana...i knew that i would!! it's been a great weekend. i've missed my family oh so much and this weekend has just reminded me of how much i love them and how loved i am. it's been an exciting and eventful weekend so far. we went down to tucson yesterday and spent the day with candace, luke, and titus who is totally adorable and entertaining! it was so much fun! he just walks around and babbles, loves to be tickled, loves to read and watch "how to train your dragon". it's fun now cuz you can have conversations with him and he'll respond either by babbling, saying "yes" or even shaking or nodding his head depending on how he's feeling at the time. such a sweetheart.

i can't believe that i'm going back to school in less than two days. summer has flown by and the time i'm spending with my family hasn't been enough. but i guess it's always better to want more time with your family than to dread any time you have to spend with them...something that makes me different from quite a few people i know. i never had a rebellious stage. the most rebellious i got was when i was about to leave for college and i mouthed off to my mom...i then proceeded to be grounded for two weeks haha. now that's embarrassing. being grounded at the age 17 hahaha. oh well...as you can see it really didn't affect my relationship with my parents haha.

ok, so there must be something about going back to san diego that my car doesn't like. this is the third time that something's been wrong with the car just a day or two before i have to drive back. the first time my battery kept dying. the second time my dad ran over a nail and i had to run around town looking for a tire that's the right size for my car for hours the day before driving back to school. and now i have a flat tire and i'm hoping that all i'll need is it to get patched. so, i have an appointment at 8 in the morning tomorrow and if it can't get fixed then i have all day to get a new tire hahaha.

i learned how to change the oil and transmission fluid in a car today!! so that's a good thing that happened today, even in spite of some of the not-so-enjoyable or fun things that happened. poor daddy...he had to do so much stuff on his day off. and all he wanted to do was relax! but instead he got to spend a few hours with me in the garage, trying to figure out how to unscrew bolts from the oil pan, or how to unscrew the oil filter in my car haha...apparently the japanese didn't think to make spaces bigger so that people of normal size could fit their hands in between and fix their own cars...so funny. so i now know how to jump start a car, how to change a tire, and how to change my own oil! and most other fluids in the car haha...i'm getting to be so handy! :) and i even have my own jumper cables and a quart of oil in my car! thanks daddy for being awesome and giving me things that you know i'll need cuz of past experiences :) he's so amazing.

Momma <3

well, i'm off...i'm gonna spend time with my familia instead of typing away on a computer. that's life through the eyes of a banana munchkin! :) nighty night!!!
