Can you open that with your tongue

I cleaned our living room today. I was tired of sitting on the floor and then standing up and having kitty litter stuck to every part of my body that wasn't covered by clothing. So mostly my legs. It looks nice now. We even have a chair now. It is pretty comfortable, nicer than the stuff where I lived in Great Falls.

Since I cleaned the living room I told Jennifer she got to wash the dishes. (Before we got the trailer house, I kind of jokingly said that I would wash the dishes if she kept the rest of the house clean.) I have done plenty of washing the dishes. And I have cleaned the living room 3 or 4 times. Jennifer says she thinks she should get help with the dishes because she thinks there are more dirty dishes than was dirt in the living room. I will end up doing all the dishes tomorrow just so I can cook some lunch when I wake up.

My mom put $50 in my Wyoming checking account. I spent $14 of it at Wal-Mart tonight before we went to the movie. I offered to buy treats since Jennifer was paying for $4 of my $7 movie ticket. Why I stinking give her money when I have already spent so much money on her that she says she will pay me back and hasn't yet I don't know.

Anyway, treats I think each of us will pick out one thing so it will be about $7 with the pencils that I grabbed while we were in the school supply isle that Wal-Mart is already putting back together. We walked away from the candy isle with gummy bears, sour brite crawlers, 2 bags of Starbursts, sour brite octopi (is it octopi or octopuses,) Twizzlers twist-n-fill and cotton candy. Then I had to figure out how exactly to smuggle all that candy into the movie theater. I had to take both of my checkbooks out of my purse and leave them in the car.

Mr. Deeds was pretty funny. I laughed a lot. Johnny didn't like it (what is new.) The only movie that I know that he has seen up here and liked was The Count of Monte Cristo. I just think there aren't enough swords in the other movies, but then that can't be it because they rented The Musketeer and he hated that too, and that was pretty much about sword fighting wasn't it.

I was eating some of the Starburst while I was checking my e-mail. Starbursts remind me of High School, my outdoor education class and going ice-skating during the winter. We used to buy Starbursts from the vending machine and sneak them out onto the ice and try to unwrap them in our mouths using just our tongues. All I have to say is no matter how good you are at doing that before, when you try for the first time after you have punched a hole in your tongue and stuck a piece of metal through it you will have a bit of trouble, even if the piercing has been there for 2 years. (I can't believe it has already been that long.) But, it is nothing that a little practice doesn’t cure.

I think some guy once told his girlfriend to practice unwrapping Starbursts in her mouth because she was a bad kisser. And that is why silly little H.S. aged girls make an art of unwrapping Starbursts in their mouths.

That is my story for tonight, I am going to bed as soon as I read the last 30 pages of The Fellowship of the Ring.
