Friday Night Fun

Well once again it is late. I told you sleeping is for sissys. Tonight I found the house all to myself. Shaunae is playing softball and sleeping at her sisters. Kelsey is having fun in Las Vegas. Me, I am having the time of my life...YIPEE!! Right. So here is what i did, I got home from work around 9:30 and had some din din. Then watched a little hulu (I really should have been doing homework). Then I got a really bright idea.

Yesterday I went to Wal-mart and picked up a 6ft tall book case.

This is my bright idea.

Ain't It Beautiful?

(Sorry about the Pics. I took them with the cell phone. Still can find my camera)

Just Kidding...I think pretty much everything that could go wrong in the process of constructing this piece of furniture happened. By the looks of the picture it may look upside down or insideout. No my friends it is upside down, rightside up, inside out, and right side out. This all being at the same time. Please don't ask me how I did it, I just did. I think part of my problem is that it was 30 bucks at walmart.

Anyways thats what I did tonight. Maybe tomorrow I will try fixing it. If not, Does anyone want a discombobulated book shelf? Oh yeah I forgot to mention that my finger hurts. Hammers are just not my thing tonight.

SCUBA NERD

Ok I know it has been a while since i last posted.... and I should be in bed asleep right now. But I think sleeping is for sissy's.

I was looking through some of my pictures that we took last year during Christmas and couldn't help but post some of them.

Scuba diving is probably my favorite "sport". Everything about it just brings me joy and brings back such good memories.

Last Christmas Break my dad and a couple of his buddies decided that they wanted to go dive some hot springs outside of St.Johns. Well there is a myth going around among the SJ people that all six of Dukes Hot Springs are bottomless. So that was the idea was to see if this was true.

Of course many safety issues come up when planning this lil adventure. When diving a new spot you want to make sure everything is fine and dandy. The first plan of action was to see how deep each of the six springs were and to see if any of them had a current. After finding that they each did have a bottom, the deepest one (15ft) was found for the first exploratory dive. There was much excitement as my dad (that handsome fellow in the picture above) took the safety line and made the short descend down. It turns out that everything look good so his other dive buddies joined him.

At the end of the first dive excitement had dwindled down in the discovery of a "mud hole." As each of the brave divers exited, Jason the last to get out discovered that when he went to pull himself out that there was no wall below his waist. Excitement again struck these noble "explorers". Once again Jason and my dad descended into the dark muddy waters.

Jason and Dad said they slowly moved into the mouth of the cave. The visibility was about 3 feet and Jason was in front. Stalagmites and stalactites could be seen on the walls of the dark watery hole. It was established before hand that they were to just confirm that this hole in the wall was indeed a cave and then go no further. They only were through the opening when their fin kicks had stirred up the suet. They both had many fears and thoughts of regret as they handled the situation. Each were armed with a dive light and the physics of air bubbles. They found their way to the surface quickly and told us what they had found.

That is how our exciting December day ended.

This is an eagle eye view of three of them. The one that they dove is behind the tree, to the right(it was pretty small)

The bros and I. Best Buds forever.

Here is Alec standing by one of the springs.

This Pic isn't very good but this is spencer and sean playing in the bigger one. The white stuff is snow.

Have you ever wondered where lost items go???

I have.. After many antagonizing, stressful, frantic Searches...I have asked myself this question on many occasion's. Occasions such as losing your tooth brush right before it is time for church and having to brush with your finger. Or losing your favorite pair of flip flops before leaving the house. This morning I woke up enlightened.

Its the Chinese!!!!

Well I guess according to my dream it is the Chinese. My dream started off with one of those frantic searches..one in particular.. my camera. I have no idea where the heck the thing is until now. In my dream I was a detective who was out to answer this question for everyone. WHERE DO LOST ITEMS GO??? I started off by thinking like one of the victims. Did I leave my camera at the store, parents house, car, school, under the bed, in the fridge, etc..? I realized after searching, that my camera was lost and gone forever.

Being the detective that I was... Some how i got word to watch out for the Chinese and that they were stilling things to be recycled merchandise . Well through much detective work, my dream ended with me being on a huge cargo ship heading to China, that was full of every ones lost items. Now this is the weird part... every person who has ever lost anything had there own little labeled ice box. As I walked down the many isle of mysterious ice boxes.. i finally came across one that had my name on it.. Karen Wilhelm. Before opening it, many thoughts flooded my mind as I gazed upon the vast sea of white little ice boxes. Could this be my camera, cell phone, tooth brush, flip flops, etc. Excitement and curiosity over came me as I opened the box to find everything that I had ever lost. Things which I had long forgotten like that yo yo that i had in 2nd grade and the movie Beauty and the Beast which Spencer was blamed for putting in the toilet.

Well, the moral of this story or dream is.... Go to bed earlier. And don't believe your dreams... Maybe.
