look! new icon!

Can you guys tell me if its blurry?

Ok so I went to Japan over the holidays to visit my grandma who is currenty in the hospital. She seems to be getting better (knock on wood), so its good. While we were there we saw some of our special little houstonian friends (james year 8 stephanie year 5) at disneyland, disneysea, and an expo in bampaku (which is a funny word).

It was mucho hot and humid (possibly as bad/worse than houston) and on the first day we were there and went to our grandma/uncle-aunt-cousin's house, but we went with our uncle and he had forgotten the keys! So we were locked outside in 35 degree weather waiting for my aunt and cousin to come home, but they had just gone out to dinner and said they would probably be a while. Also we needed out suitcases that mum had had delivered to us from the airport and werer due to come at 8-9 (it was 7:45 at the time). So we called the company with the suitcases and told them that we were lcked out of the house, so please come soon. They took it as 'the keys are in the suitcases' so they rushed and arrived in about 5 minuted. But when we asked them if they were in the neighborhood the driver said no, even though it would have been impossible to get there that quickly if they were far away. So anyway we walked over to the big electronics store with ac for a while and then the rest of the family came home and we got out of the 35 outside into the 40 degree inside of the house. JOY.

But luckily we could fit 3 futons into my grandma's room which had a really good ac, so it was ok.

When we got back Racheal and I went to see Dirty Dancing the musical, which was really good and we are going to make Jess watch. And then on Saturday I got to work from 8:30 in the morning to 6:30 at night in the RAIN and COLD. And that was just dandy. Though I was really lucky cause it stopped raining for my lesson (and I rode will and it was great. and Erin will is like cadbury only 17 hands, not 18).

House music started, the joy. were singing a song in AFRICAN!
In PE, the crazy karate guys (is maddie still taking karate?) were all like ITS A BAD WORLD! Don't get raped! and we're all like We don't plan on it so go away and stop breaking our wrists. (this really little girl kept coming up to racheal and i and teaching us how to hurt people. she was scary.)

so yay . be satisfied.
