Bad Anna! Anna has not updated in 9 days!

Thanks for all those that send cards and posted threads on the RI for my birthday! Between karate Mon. night (Mr. Murray sang an especially melodious song for me. Har, har!) and Ladies' meeting Tues. night we're not celebrating until tonight. I haven't an inkling what my present is, but I know that I'm having dirt for my cake! Yum, yum!

The Goodwens got the pool vaccum fixed so we're going swimming soon! Fun, fun!

Ethan bought a new computer game recently, Pod-racer that we're all binging on until it gets old. Does anybody else do that? Play something lots for 3 weeks, drop it for 3 months, and then repeats the process?

I'm having some real good debates on the RI, as well as interesting thread on the main board called "Interview me". Yes, I do have a life, really.

Samuel's mowing right now.

Mama's on the phone talking to headquarters 'bout the trip to Taiwan in January. Which means that I have to be offline, which is good because it's forcing me to write here.

Naomi and Joshua are doing dishes.

Caleb and Isaac are destroying some imaginary bad guy with sticks on the front porch.

BonnieJean is studying.

And Ethan is playing pinball on Ed. That's Samuel's computer's name, Editor with Ed for short.

Dad bought a new car yesterday! It's a 4 door, 5 seat, manual transmission, 39 miles to the galloon, 1985 Mazda GLC. Taking the initials GLC we named him General Lewis Carson, calling it The General for short.

I found my watch yesterday! But I have not found my bank book, which is annoying. I'm sooooo absent-minded sometimes it scares me. But, Mrs. Gerald is very absent minded and she's one of the sweetest geniuses I know (and I know about 4.)

Jen or Chera, I need y'all's mailing address to send Chera a card. Did I remember to save it from last year? No, of course not! Like I said, I lose things. Maybe I've lost my mind, too.

Anastasia Howard is due tomorrow. That's so cool for them, especially Mr Howard as this is his first baby!

Gotta go swimming now! Lord bless y'all!
