Miscellany Monday

Ya know, I don't usually participate in Miscellany Monday, but this Monday I think I'm going to. :)

Ever heard any of Deas Vail's music? Well, I hadn't... until last Friday. Bleah-bug sent me some of their music and let me just say, I'm in love. Love I tell you!!

I have not told any of my lovelies (you) this yet, because It's not even a "for-sure" thing, but this Thursday I am supposed to head to my friend, Manda's house.... for a whopping 5 days!! Oh yeah! You see, she lives about two hours away so when I go to see her (or vise versa) it's usually for a few days. :) I'm so excited!! We're gonna party 'til we're purple!! (And yes, I stole that from Spongebob.) :P

Ever tried chewing gum while sitting upside down on your living room couch?  Don't try it. In fact, don't try chewing anything while hanging upside down. When I was little, at our old Church, there was a "candyman" who had a bag of candy with him every Sunday and all the kids would run up to him after Church and pick out two different candies. Mine was always a piece of bubble gum and a blueberry jolly rancher. I would eat my jolly rancher at Church, and chew my gum after we went out to lunch with some Church friends (which we basically did every Sunday). I remember one time when I got home, I was sitting upside down on our living room sofa and chewing my gum. Lo and behold, I swallowed it. Yep. I go crying to mom and she feeds me a piece of bread. Bread!?! Anyways, she said it would help, so I ate it. Turns out it did help. So, when you swallow a piece of gum (or an entire peppermint {yes, I've done that as well}) just eat a piece of bread. :) Now wasn't that a pointless paragraph? :P

So, my dad is 40 years old now (since Friday, Aug. 6th). We keep teasing him and momma about getting "up there" (almost to the big five-o). I was reading through his birthday cards and one said, "You might be a redneck if you stare at a can of orange juice because it says concentrate." I laughed and laughed. :D

I am currently getting over a cold, er, well, we don't really know what it was/is, but that's my theory and I'm stickin to it! Aaaaaanyways, I'm finally getting over it. Yesterday I had "the cough" *cue scary music*. Oh yes, the dreaded cough. Buuuuut, today I am cough free... well, sort of. I have a little *cough*cough* here and there, but not like yesterday.... :O  I was kept awake almost all of last night by my cough. Everytime I would breath in, it would tickle my throat and I was seriously coughing after every other breath. I tried holding my breath, but then I couldn't breath.... o.O (jk) So, long story short, I've been taking vitamin C like CRAZY!! Seriously... Eldarwen's gone mad with vitamin C.  Look out Benadryl, you've been replaced *gasps* {don't know what I'm talking about? Click HERE}.  So, needless to say, I'm on the road to wellness and it looks like I'll be able to go to Manda's house!! Whoopee! :D

Mowing. Yeah. I decided tonight I was going to mow (keep in mind, this was at about 7:30pm and there was still daylight), so I went outside, recruited my sisters to pick up their junk in the yard, drove the mower over to the sheds, filled it with gas and was on my way to mowing heaven (our yard). The grass was above my ankle. Yikes! I looked down at the front tires, and what do ya know? They're FLAT. I mean flatter-than-one-of-my-pancakes flat. So, I went inside and got my momma to come outside help me air up the tires (since I had never done that before). Well, we couldn't find the right nozzle to go on the end of the hose, so we decided to use Papa's air tank. We ended up calling Nana, she sent Papa over, and he aired up the tires. Then he changed the oil, and I was set to go. Only one problem: I had about an hour of daylight left. =O  "What did you do?!" Well, I revved up the engine and mowed like a mad woman! >=D  I finished JUST as the sun went down. No seriously. I ain't kiddin ya. Oh, and did I mention, I was using this:

Okay, that's enough of my craziness. :-)
