OK, so I’m back at home now… and I’m typing this entry on my … dun dun dun…. new laptop! YEE HAA! Well… it’s not really new…. it’s 6 months old… and it’s not really mine…. it’s the church’s but I am the sole user of it for….. uhhh…. ever?

The downside is, Xanga doesn’t make an xTools tool for Macs so I have to type this plain and beef it up later… once my PC is put together again and I’m unpacked.

So Sarah made it back safely. She and I went to Maumee Bay State Park on the outskirts of my town this morning… It was fun. We walked a nature trail and looked at the lake for a little bit…. Yay for sunny but cool days. We watched a deer in the woods for a bit too… it was only 100 feet away or so… A BIG white-tailed doe…

Before that we had gone a few other places… we have a contract that we follow that helps us keep pure before marriage… one of the points is that we are not in a house alone…. so since my mom, step-dad, and both sisters were at work/school/whatever.. we had to do stuff outside…. SO, first we went and picked up her contacts from the eye-doctor… then I went and ordered my glasses…. yes… I am getting glasses…. I haven’t worn glasses since 5th grade…. I got contacts in 6th-8th… then I stopped altogether… Now I realize that my left eye sucks… so I’m getting them for reading…. man… I feel old…

AND to finish the day, I taught Sarah how to tie a tie… she works at a country club and has to wear ties…. man… that sucks… Then she went to work and here I am messing with my new laptop that I have programmed voice activation commands on…. It’s great… I talk and it talks back… I tell it to open, close, switch applications… it does…. It tells jokes… the time, the day…. it’s great…. I play entire games of chess by calling out the moves…. VERY creepy…. heh heh… fun.

Mood: GLAD to be home, but not wanting to unpack!
