Trixie! Yay! It's great to have you back.
Today I plan to watch a few episodes of "Sue Thomas FBEye." I started watching through the series (in order - DVDs are wonderful!) and it's so easy to remember why I love the show so much! Right now the rest of my family is playing Rook - a card game that I do not play, and that they get all worked up about. It's a good time to be elsewhere!

Your family plays Rook?! I LOVE Rook! My granny has played from way back, and she can be pretty brutal when we play.
Today was a rainy day here, although now the sun has finally come out. This morning it was so dreary, so I turned on a nice, joyful Christmas tape. Ahhh.

Just recently read The Hunger Games for summer reading (which was very convenient, in my personal opinion). I was...less than thrilled, let's say. Anyway, school starts tomorrow, and I'm super excited.

Well, my dad, my sister, and my brother play Rook. They usually have to play with a dummy hand because my mom and I refuse to play with them. I would love to see them play against your granny, though! My great-grandma used to be great to play Skip-bo with, or to watch play. She would never play a card that might help anybody else, and then she would get these runs where she would go through several hands of cards and then beat us all. Good times!Laura Ingalls wrote:Your family plays Rook?! I LOVE Rook! My granny has played from way back, and she can be pretty brutal when we play.
I got to watch 3 episodes of Sue Thomas before my brother decided that it was enough, since he doesn't like the show, and since I did get to watch a bunch, I was nice enough to stop there. I'm in that Allie/David stage of things at the end of season one anyway, for anybody else who watches the show, so that stuff just makes my heart hurt anyway.
*comforts our beloved admin* it's okay, Catspaw; have a creampuff Good 'ol Sue Thomas; me and my mom watch that together sometimes. It's charming (though admittedly, I dislike the Allie side of things more than I dislike David.)
in other news, there's a fire raging near where I live, and some families I know have evacuated. We may or may not be next; it seems be going farther away though, so I don't know.

My Grandma and Grandpa are really good at Rook. They always beat me. I guess I have just have to keep trying.Catspaw wrote:Well, my dad, my sister, and my brother play Rook.

Yeah, I dislike Allie more too...except David is more likeable in some ways, which makes me want to like him less. Neither of them are terrible people - they just need to go date each other (or other random strangers) instead of hanging around our two beloved characters.Shennifer wrote:*comforts our beloved admin* it's okay, Catspaw; have a creampuff Good 'ol Sue Thomas; me and my mom watch that together sometimes.

I hope that the fire is under control soon, Shennifer! That sounds scary.
Orangie, keep playing! Maybe one day you'll learn their secrets.
You should try scum with rook cards, Catspaw! That's funner than Rook and has a lot of moving for a card game

Made brownies today with Mom. I won't feel so guilty eating them later because they're made with agave syrup and apple sauce instead of sugar.
Shennifer, definitely hope the fire gets under control soon! Praying for you. :\

Sunshine and Catspaw: thanks! it's quite smoky here. Appreciate the prayers

Today, I got my...driver's license! I am so happy! I was very nervous during the driving test, but I prayed almost the entire time, and I felt at peace even though I was nervous. I passed! I so happy! Wait. I said that already. Well, thank you for all of the prayers you all have said for me concerning my driving. I really appreciate it.

Congratulations, Sapphire! That's so great to hear! Was it a pretty difficult test, or did you breeze through it like the 'pro driver that you are?
*insert provocative quote here*
That's awesome! Was it hard? I need to take my driving test soon. I'll probably get so nervous that I'll flunk.Sapphire wrote:Today, I got my...driver's license! I am so happy!

I didn't pass the driver's test the first time second time I did despite the increase in nerves (had the same person too)
Congrats, Sapphire! now you can cart yourself around

It wasn't a difficult test, but my nerves got to me in the beginning. I was too hesitant or didn't stop long enough, however as I became less nervous, I did better. It's fine to be nervous during your driving test, but don't let your nerves get to you. You don't even have to go on the highway (in my state at least).Musical Shutterbug wrote:Congratulations, Sapphire! That's so great to hear!

Congrats, Sapphire! I was sooo nervous during my test...it's always good for it to be over, isn't it?

I just recently took my drivers test to get off my GDL license and it was so long. I had to go on the highway and do a bunch of merges and stuff but that wasn't too bad because I do that all the time when I drive normally. The worst part was when I was on roads that I had never been before and didn't know what was coming up next, but I survived. The funniest part of the test was when she told me to turn left and I turned right for the very first turn I did. Fortunately, she told me I wasn't going to fail the test for not knowing my lefts and rights. When I was driving back to the license centre I got literally EVERY SINGLE RED LIGHT. That's not even an exaggeration. To make matters worse there were 3 construction zones and one of the roads that she wanted to go on was closed so we had to take a long detour. But it was good and I passed and nothing's really different because I was driving by myself for the last 2 years anyway...

I took my driving test with my school and that was really easy. The written test is also a breeze as long as you study a little bit your good to go.orangie wrote:That's awesome! Was it hard?

Driver's Ed and the test to get my permit were both easy, but it seems unnerving to me to get into a car with someone you don't know and have them grading your driving. I hope I get a really easy going cop to drive with.
