My dad is out of commission for awhile from his surgery and the siding fell off a corner of our house in a big wind storm while he was in the hospital. So I got to watch my mom saw a 2 foot x 4 foot piece of plywood with a nasty $7 saw and then nail that piece of wood to the house ( Read more... ) -
A Day In My Life: March 13, 2010
Hey everyone, my name is Amanda. I'm really sorry this day took forever to get posted, but life got in the way. I traveled to Austin, TX to visit my best friend for the weekend. On Saturday of our trip, we visited various famous sites around Austin, ate a little, saw a weird banjo band, and just got to hang out which is something we haven't been ( Read more... ) -

My dad came home from the hospital today. One week + two days later, he's home and I'm still his nurse, his chauffeur, and his cook. But he's healthy (somewhat, except for a nasty big scar and staples down his front) and alive and cancer-free so that's all that really matters in the end. I managed to spend almost as much time in the hospital as ( Read more... ) -

My dad is still in the hospital tonight. There was some hope during the day that he could go home, but after he ate a clear liquid lunch he just got worse and worse. We're crossing our fingers that he won't have to go through emergency surgery in the morning or on Sunday, but I think realisticly that's going to be his only option to get better. ( Read more... ) -

On March 11, 2010, my parents and I went to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo where we saw lots of farm animals and Brad Paisley perform. This is that day.
Note: If some of the pictures look a ( Read more... ) -

My dad has just been admitted to the emergency room for probable emergency surgery that'll happen either tonight or tomorrow. I know he's been on a shaky slope lately, gaining weight and drinking and smoking, but I never really expected this to happen. I thought he had really beaten that cancer of his ( Read more... ) -

I go two months without many interesting things to talk about, but this weekend was an explosion of things to do. I went to the Houston Rodeo to see Brad Paisley in concert on Thursday, drove to Austin to hang out with one of my best friends over the weekend, and the new Pokemon games came out on Sunday ( Read more... ) -

I'm kind of disappointed. A forum that I'm very active in just had a new crop of moderators appointed and I wasn't one of them or even asked. It's not something that I really expected, since no one knew that they were even looking for moderators, but it's kind of disappointing ( Read more... ) -

The weather has been truly annoying lately. It keeps raining, but it's not the kind of rain where you can cuddle under a warm blanket, listening to nothing but the sounds of the rain. It's the type of rain where it makes everything cold, everything damp, and everything dreary. But you can't actually hear it! It's just a dull drizzle. I think I ( Read more... )
