Wooo yeah...okay.. Boo. Allright I had breakfast..cereal- a first in like a month. Usually I have a po'tard (poor poptart) (LMFAO KALEY). Okay, I'm okay now. Really.. So anyway after I ate my mom was bothering me to go driving but she was planning on going out to umm oh yeah East Towne, the mall, wal-mart, whatever. All that stuff. To go shopping for Cody. I was like..I'll go, but I won't drive you there. So go to hell. Haha. Didn't SAY the last part!! So that's how she made me go shopping, something I dislike. Soo we go out there and first we got a newspaper so I was reading that out there. Funny bumper sticker thigns (I love the thing in the Daybreak section called "The Skinny"- it's jokes and funny things, and things making fun of stupid people, etc.) Anyway..we went to pay the car payment I think..yeah. Then we went to the mall..On the way there was a new stop light out there on soem street you go on..dude is it Thompson Drive? I dunno. We got to Target. And looked aroudn at stuff. Got somethign for Cody, and looked at the sports stuff. I was beggin for a new football. I got it. Well I mean..umm...Cody will be getting it and I will be eventually USING it. HAHA. So, got to the mall..Steve & Barry's, rather. Wandered around (I was lookign for new gym pants but that didn't work out), got something for Cody that I rather wanted myself but..booo! Soon, we continued into the mall (not before getting freaked by some guy wandering around with a small lizard on his neck. Whether he was aware of the creature, we don't much know, but..whatever) and we went to Hallmark. Had to get cards and stuff..for like everyone's birthday. Not relaly. My dad, my brother, and I think we got cards for my aunt too but I don't remember. I just know I picked out a funny one for my dad (about getting lost while drivign,which he did just yesterday in CHicago while "passing through" on the way to Michigan), and for my brother (about going out to dinner and inside was a salt packet but he has an obsession with sugar packets- he steals them from restaurants and anywhere else that has them- so I taped a sugar packet in it instead. Shhhh don't tell!!) Umm...picked out beanie babies..one for my dad one for cody. I want the one we got for cody..its all fuzzy and stuff..haha The person at the check out was from..somewhere else. I oculdn't recognize OR understand the accent. But it was still cool. Accents are cool. 'Cept when you can't understand them. Then you're standing there saying "I dunno what you're saying but it soudns pretty!" lmao. We left there and went to the Wisconsin sporting goods whatever cloths whatever..I just totally lost what the store is ACTUALLY called. In any event we went int ehre and looked aorudn but didn't buy. There's some cool hoodies that I wanted but we have no money so that sucks. All the money we had was what my grandma snuck (behind my grandpa's back) to my mom, and that was only for Cody's gifts. Boo. Soo continued on the Gloria Jean's. Got some good..some drink. I dunno what it's called. Dude. Next, we went to Barnes and Noble, but I didn't know why. I had an inkling that it had to do with the Memoirs, but I wasn't sure. I looked around and I found this awesome book, called "Dictionary of Greek & Latin roots" or something sorta like that. It had the meanings of the endings/beginnings/parts of words and it was realyl cool and I really wanted it. But, I don't have $10. Or, not that I can spend. I have just under $40 and that is most definitely being saved for the RAW house show which is coming to town in like October..dude I love house shows even though I think WWE sucks right now, I still love the house shows & people there. In other events I found this other book that was huge with a wonderful source of Egyptian information..well I foudn two like that. THe first was $8 and the other was $10. Once again, couldn't afford it. Anyway, she got the book!!! "Memoirs of a Dutch Mudsill: The war memories of JOhn Henry Otto" omg I like attacked it once she got it. I took it out of the bag and looked on the back and there was a copy of the photo (WE OWN the ORIGINAL photo) of the Wisconsin Volunteers, 21st Infantry, Company D. I was so excited and I was flipping out in the store going, "ITS THE PICTURE! LOOK THERES SYLVESTER!! RIGHT THERE!!" and I was goign crazy. Here's the story. Okay. Sylvester Greeley is a direct ancestor of mine. He was the the 21st, company D. So this book, is a journal written during the war, by John Henry Otto. In addition to the photo (which Sylvester himself attached to a small piece of cardboard, and labelled who everyone was in the photo), we have his telescope and compass, both which he used in the Civil War. All three of which I hope to inherit. See, I wanna start collecting Civil War memoribilia now. Okay so anyway, we got out of hte store and left the mall. When in the car I immediately started looking through the book for stuff aobut Sylvester. Foudn that he witnessed John Dey's desertation, found out the day that he got promoted to sergeant, foudn out that he had to catch a rebel and tie him up adn that he was cold and heartless or soemthing because he had worked on whaling ships for six years (something my grandparents didn't even know! It was so cool!!!), and some other things..one thign that makes him look like a little kid- he begged to go along for soemthign. There was also quotes of what he said and how he and Otto had played a joke on someone else..dude it's so cool! We proceeded to Wal Mart. Where I was happy to find that they had wrestling action figures. Woo. Chirs Jericho and Edge, also Randy Orton. Good, hotness. We wandered around and found a wealth of NASCAR stuff.. Woooooooo. First, there were little race cars then bigger ones. Most were Dale Jr.!! Those that weren't, were like Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart. Ew. So whenever I got the chance I re-arranged everything so that Gordon was in the back where NO ONE could see them and Dale Jr was in his rightful place in the front. It was really funny. We foudn some Dale sr. stuff, too. Woo. Boght a lot of cool stuff. I finally got new headphones! Finally!! They hurt my ears but whatever. I also got my first big Orlando Bloom poster It is a wonderful poster. Haha. So eventually we quit our wandering and went home. My mom put in bread mix then she made me drive. Okay, bakcing out of driveways is NOT something I am good at. I don't remember anything after I release the brake pedal. Ugh yeah. This time I tried going to the right (to show some thigns to my grandparents). Ummm well I ended up doing like some backward thing..Um..I went out, I was going fine but instead of the brake I hit the gas again.. damn. So I ended up hitting the curb on this side of the street. LMFAO. Okay got to grandparents without incident. Next, went on Monona Drive. Scaaaaaary. We drove all the way down to..umm like someplace almost downtown. THen we turned on some side streets, turned back on the main road. That was some trouble. Okay. I ocudln't turn left because there was already a line blockign the lane. Well. I started turning right, but this lady cut out of hte line, over the YELLOW CENTER LINE, into my lane, and tried to butt in line soemwhere ahead. I was just like, WTF!!! So it threw me off and as I completed the turn and was goign all directiosn and almost nailed the curb and stuff. It was nuts. Eventually we ended up on Dempsey and driving all the way to school, down pflaum road, and onto Monona Drive. Dude,I was doing the damn speed limit and morons kept fricking passing me like I was goign 15mph. I wasn't. The fastest I have gone is 40mph, cuz I have my foot on the accelerator, then I get distracted by soemthing else..and yeah Im a pretty bad driver, lmao. So we went home. And I made it in the driveway without scraping anything. I remembered to brake at the driveway. Lol. SO my grandpa was there, we showed him the book and told him stuff and stuff. Then I had my wonderful dessert again. Brownie, banana, and ice cream. Yum. Anyway nothing much eventful has happened. Woo anyway I'm bored irght now but I can't wait to finish my book about Stone COld so I can read Memoirs of a Dutch Mudsill.
