We're Alive

So many things to say...
I have only had to make one meal so far due to people inviting me places and Grandma, who came today. She called twice when we weren't home and left messages but I was planning on checking them this afternoon. She got all of my wash done and made food for us.
Wednesday: Got home and went straight to work so I could get to the spaghetti dinner (we didn't even have spaghetti) I got all my work done before realized I didn't know how to get there. After conferring with eddie and google I thought I had a pretty good idea where it was. I passed it and drove in the wrong direction for a while before turning around and asking for directions. When I came home I talked to Joe and went to bed.
Thursday: Got home and again went straight to work again. I started the mix, then came in and made dinner, then went to the quiz off, then came home and finished the milking and the feeding and got done at 7:15.
Friday: After school I played guitar and studied for quizzing before going to the Coburn's house. I got to ride in the Nissan 350Z when we went to get pizza. We played PS2 for about 4 hours and ended the night with a great two and a half hour conversation in the Hot Tub. Apparently I get reactions from the chlorine or something because I'm itchy all over.
Saturday: I had quizzing and "More till Four" from 7am to 5pm. I have some stories to tell about that including me giving a poor girl a bloody nose. I got home and Joe and I left to hang out at the Carpenter's house. They were so funny and goofy and treat me as if I'm family already. Mrs Carpenter, Sara (Bern), and Becky (Roo), came to church on Sunday morning and somehow Mrs. Carpenter knows Wendy Kaylor through a common friend.
Sunday: I set the wrong alarm and woke up an hour late and then had to do two mixes. On top of that we have tons of calves to feed, a cow had a calf, and the furnace ran out of coal and I caught it just in time. Needless to say I didn't play bass or make it to Sunday school. After church I went to a Weidman family dinner in lawn before going to Tyler Hoover's house to hang out with Tyler, Josh, and Kevin Sholly. I got home and went straight back to small groups, after which Joe and I went back to the Carpenter's. We watched nacho libre and wrestled on the floor. We accidentally rolled on top of their dog and he jumped up and bit me in the face. I only have a few scratches but it was kinda scary seeing jaws lunging toward me.

Anyway, I'm sorry I didn't post before and I'm glad to hear Mom and Dad made it there safely and are having a great time.

Andrew, the passenger side blinker cover fell off on the way to quizzing and I didn't realize what it was. I going to order a new one or just buy one from an Auto Parts place. Also, Sara Carpenter said that you looked good when you came home and your muscles are toned. I thought it was funny and you should know.


//edit// This was the worst afternoon/evening ever. First Grandma came two days before she was supposed to and was annoyed that i didn't have clothes ready. Then the silo unloader decided to start coming apart so I helped Eddie with it. Then Grandma made meatloaf, potatoes, and mixed veggies. I don't know what I did to the meatloaf but it was dry and bland. I then broke a platter throwing a knife into the meatloaf. Eddie wanted to leave early because it is Zach's and Wesley's Birthday's but he got a late start due to shavings and the unloader. I was supposed to come out and milk while eddie fixed the unloader. I only got out at 5:15 because of Grammy and the platter. I ended up milking 1/2 the post and all of the middle group and finished when Eddie left at 7. He fed the cows and hutch calves (now 14 in the evenings) but I had to feed the heifers and 3 young bulls. While I was washing up I got into a "do everything perfect mode" and tried to get the pit pump to run better. For some reason I started moving the pump around with the string and holding onto the pipe... While it was running... The pipe came off and I got covered in bottom of the pit junk. I even think some went up my nose. Till everything was done it was almost 9:00. I'm very miserable right now but at least joe isn't around to make fun of me typing on the blog in my boxers. (my pants have junk on them)

So long,
Philip
