Summer Rocks!

Here's what I did the last 4 days.......

-Caught 17 Rainbow Trout

-Had a Snow ball fight on the 4th of July (I'm not kidding)

-Played Phase 10 or Scum till 2 every night/morning for the past 4 days

-Drank 4 Root Beers, one Monster, 3 glasses of Orange Juice,  a ton of water, and 3 glasses of milk

-Watched Rocketman again

-Watched O Brother Where Art Thou? for the first time

-Drove for 2 hours straight, and almost gave my dad a heart attack (Only 52 hours of driving time and six months till i'm a licensed driver!)

-Made a spear to kill fishes with, which failed miserably, but was fun anyways

-Did not set off fireworks  : (

So that's what I did........and didn't do.

Muahahaha!!!!!!!

I have power!  Or at least my Driver's Permit.  This morning I went to the DMV, turned in all the paperwork, took the test and passed missing only 4.  I can now legally drive. 

While I was there the lady behind the counter said " Be careful when they take your picture, the only ones who will see it are cops and girls."  Um, thanks?......

Ducks!

A few weeks ago my dad woke up to a pair of duck swimming circles in our pool.  He quickly snapped some pictures and showed them to us that night.  

The ducks had discovered our pool.   

After a few days we began to see gritty black powder all over the bottom of our pool.  It was duck..........how do I put this...........droppings?  Four days ago Bill (I've begun calling William, Bill) discovered some "leftover easter eggs" in our yard.  Being the inquisitive little bugger that he is, he split one open.  Then Julia found out what he was doing and asked where he had gotten the egg.  He told her there was a pile and proceeded to show it to her.  She identified that it was indeed a duck nest.  Realizing that he shouldn't have broken an egg, Bill replaced it.  With an egg from the refrigerator.  Luckily we caught him before he could complete his little plan, and he showed us the nest.  After two more day's we saw no sign of the duck and assumed that it had abandoned the nest.  Until this morning.  We decided to check the eggs one last time this morning and found the duck sitting on them.  She is still sitting there right now.  Apparently ducks lay one egg everyday, which begin to grow only after she starts incubating them.  So in a few more weeks we should have a pool full of ducklings. 

Let me explain where the nest is.  On the edge of our kidney bean shaped pool there are some rocks and in those rocks there are bushes.  The ducks nest is in the bushes.  literally, one foot away from the pool.  The ducklings will be stuck in our backyard, and consequently in our pool, until they can fly. 

Our pool has been taken over by ducks. 

Just thought ya'll would want to hear that.  And yes I am planning on dissecting any babies that......kick the bucket.

It's the end of the debate year, and that rabbit is still pregnant....sorta.

I can't believe it's over.   All that work is rendered useless by the fact that we didn't quite kill that one inherency point.  Dang.  For the second time I got to a qualifying round and lost.  At the same tournament!  Last year December and I were one ballot away from qualifying, this year Marcel and I were three away.  I guess God just doesn't want me to qualify in debate.....Oh well, there's always next year. 

Anyway, my over all stats for the qualifiers are:

13 Aff wins, 6 aff losses.

9 Neg wins, 10 neg losses.

Total win loss record including outrounds

22 wins 16 losses

During the past year I averaged 24.2 speaker points per round!  Woo-hoo!  That took a long time to figure out by the way. 

So yeah over all it was a good year, but the last round I ever debated on illegal immigration was terrible.  That loss will always overshadow this year for me. 

Enough debate, lets talk about Rabbits!

Ok, I didn't know that God made any animals with the ability to do this, but apparently one of our rabbits resorbed her babies.  According to my sisters, rabbits are supposed to have their babies after 35 days or the babies get too big to come out.  This rabbit has been pregnant for 36 days.  Meaning she ate her babies.  The rabbit just decided that they were too big and didn't let them out, so right now she's digesting between 3 and 8 of her offspring.  As you are reading this she is eating her babies.  How gross is that?  The other rabbit had 8 babies and none of them are dead.....yet!  But the runt......Muahahahaha!....might die!  which means.......DISSECTION!   But I guess I'm just getting my hopes up.
