Hanging in Pennsylvania
Yeah, so first of all the Sunday after Christmas I drove for 11 hours (with my family minus my dad) to reach my aunt, uncle and cousins house to visit them and my other uncle and cousin. So far the highlights of my trip have been my cell gets great reception (NICE!), I have been able to relax in the hot tub (ahhhhh), play on the Wii (Fun), we went to a skating rink, however the skates I used the ankles were broken on and I kept twisting my ankle (OW!) Also we did Christmas presents and I got two things- a fifty dollar visa gift card and a forty dollar visa gift card. (VERY Cool) Plus I have had much fun hanging with my two older cousins Deanna and Sarah, as well as Sarah's boyfriend, Kevin. We play lots of BS card games, which I win most of the time. Its been fun.

Kaylyn!
Okay, so besides Alley, who I've already talked about here on my blog, there is this person who is the other half of my brain. Her name is Kaylyn. Me and her have countless inside jokes, probably more than is normal. But to be quite honest, me and her aren't normal... ;) We are constantly getting in touble for being on the phone for too long, and calling eachother at wierd hours (like 1am in the morning) We know more about eachother than two people probably should. But hey, everyone needs someone like that... Don't they?

Amazing Poem
Okay, so a close friend of mine wrote this poem, her name is Alley. Please leave me your comments.
Winter
by Alice Andrews
With a hat on my head
And my boots on my toes
The cold winter wind
Nips at my nose
As I lay in the snow
Making an angel
I look in the window
Mommas face, it is pain filled
I walk in the house
With my hat on my head
My momma leans down
To tell me Grandma's dead
I stand there and think
Grandma can't be gone
I saw her last week
No, it hasn't been long
I look at my momma
And say "Don't you die too"
She giggled and said
"Only old people do"
As I walk in my room
And I sit on my bed
I sit there alone
rubbing my head
To make momma happy
I think I'll be good
I'll be a good girl
Just Like I should
I open my window
When I see my dad
I hear the wind whistle
And it sounds so sad
I run down the stairs
And I look at my dad
I said "daddy be careful
cause momma is sad"
I looked at my dad
He said "I already know"
He stands there and asks
"Did you play in the snow?"
I stand there and say
"Yeah I played in the snow"
"Now if you'll excuse me,
I've got somewhere to go"
So as I walk outside
And I see what I made
I kneel in the angel
And began to pray
I looked at the sky
As the wind slapped my face
I sit there and think
She's in a better place
My mom calls me in
She says we'll be okay
She says not to worry
We'll be together some day
She tucks me in bed
And says Santa will come
She say go to sleep
Tomorrow will be fun
When I wake in the morning
And I walk down the stairs
I look out the window
My angel is still there
I look at momma
And say "Can we go outside?"
She smiles and said
"Then we'll go for a ride"
So I grab my camera
And I run out the door
I stand there and think
I've seen that before
In the middle of the angel
was a heart made of gold
It was dirty and dingy
And it looked really old
So I picked it up
And showed my mom
She looked and she's shaking
And she started to sob
She looks and she say
"It was your grammy's"
She is still crying
And she fell to her knees
She smiled and said
Open it up
And as I did just that
She dropped her coffee cup
Inside was a note
And a picture there too
The front of the note
It said to Mary Loo
It said I love you
Try not to fear
I'm spending my Christmas
With Jesus this year
this is Alley!!!!!

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
When some one asks you the question 'which came first, the chicken or the egg?' they mean to trip you up and ask you a question that there is no way to answer, to confuse you. But truth is, you can confuse them by saying 'egg'.
Yeah, yeah. You think there is absolutely no way to prove the answer one way or the other. And you are partially correct. If the person asked 'which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg, there would be no way to solve it. But since they do not specifically ask about a chicken egg, you say with confidence that the egg did indeed come first, do to the proof that eggs were around way before any chicken. I mean seriously, did you find any chicken fossils from the dinosaur era? But there are reports of eggs from back then. Think about it and, after your head overcomes the cloud of confusion, what I'm saying would actually make sense.
