I'm at Ludington, MI at the Vacation Lane cottages! We're here for a whole week it's pretty nice =P. I drove and it was a bit nerve racking because when we left it had started to sprinkle. Well as we kept going it was like rain flashes, would be pouring for a few minutes to the point where I couldn't even see the white dashes separating the lanes! Also driving behind grandpa was frustrating, I wanted to set my speed control but I couldn't figure out how fast he was going, which was about 63 and mom was saying that he probably didn't want to lose me. It was kind of embarrassing because all these people kept passing us. We finally made it though and unpacked all our crap into the cottage. There was a crisis of who is going to sleep where and what not so finally we decided that Josh and I would sleep in the room with the bunk beds, Mom would sleep in the off bedroom, Grandma and Jess in the queen bedroom, then Grandpa out in the living room on the sofa. We didn't have anything to grand for dinner, hot dogs n chips, woot!. I didn't know if Grandpa brought his laptop but I did so I went in my room and tried out the wireless. At first it didn't work but later when I seen he had his then I brought mine out and it worked, unfortunally we couldn't figure out why his didn't I guess he just has a sucky wireless signal. It's pretty cool because their was this craft show kind of like the Highland Festival. We found out that Hamlin Lake was algae infested (really bad) and so we couldn't go swimming in it until Tuesday they said. You could go swimming but you end up feeling itchy. We didn't do much of anything else for the rest of the day but get settled in.
Ok so I finally got pics of my car! I still have yet to get pics of my Tablet on here but when I do I'll post them but first heres my car ;).
Alright today my Mom, Ryan, and I went up to Mt. Pleasant to look at a car that my mom had seen. It was a Maroonish/dark red colored and it's a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT2. I wasn't all that excited about red but I figured I'd go look anyways. So when we got there I took a look inside and instantly liked it, had a wonderful interior! Only things wrong with it was that the windshield was a bit cracked but that can be replaced. So the guy came out and gave us the keys and let us take it for a test drive and whatnot. Once we got back mom told him that my dad wanted to take a look at it,which really was Alex, who is my step dad. But anyways, he's like oh well you just live close? We do so hes like well why don't you just drive it back and show him it? I'm like sweeet so we took Ryan home and showed Alex and the kids. It drives soooo nice! We took it over to Grandpa's so he can check it all out. It has 113,000 miles on it which was another downfall and doesn't have a sunroof but hey, it's my first car and I can't be picky. Uncle Dan and Aunt Kathy looked at it also, they really liked it. So Grandpa, Mom, and I drove back to the place the car came from and Grandpa ended up reducing the price from $7,495 down to $6,700. Awesome!!! I decided that I wanted it and the total cost came to $7,194 or so. =D We're going to pick it up Monday night and I'm Psyched! Can't wait till I drive it, I still have yet to get my license =$.
YES! It finally came today XD after a week! But hey, at least they're here. Pretty excited, my tablet is awesome! I absolutely love it. I haven't really played with it much because I was just going over the basics/manual and whatnot. Along with that Jack got his wings and nails clipped yesterday. He looks like a lil' baldy now since he doesn't have his long flight feathers XD. And since he was so good we got him some new toys and treats. I also found this play set thing that we bought him. He is still kind of getting used to it and figuring out that its not going to bite him. Anyways I ordered some stuff from Avon too and that we should be getting today =P.
This is a video of my Quaker Parrot, Jack. I don't remember where I had gotten my wristband but I had taken it off and gave it to him to play with. He didn't want it touching him for some reason, thinking it might bite him? I don't know XD, anyways, I believe he is maybe 6 months old in this? He is about 2 years old now. Don't hold me to it ;). Anyways sorry that its so dark, I'm not sure how to lighten it up if it is even possible. And yes I have a messy desk lol
-Dances- Oh yeah it's my Birthday, lol. And guess what? I still don't have my license =0, oh my gosh I know! I don't like to drive much ^^. But anyways I stayed up till 5 am last night and woke up this morning at 10:30 am, 51/2 hours of sleep ;). I wanted to go back to bed but I've been waiting for this package in the mail, it's killing me. It said that it would come in today but I have a feeling that it wont, so hopefully tomorrow. Ok so what I'm getting is a Wacom Intuos3 6 x 8 Pen Tablet (thing you hook up to your computer and you're able to draw on it) and Guild Wars Factions: Collectors Edition (it's a game). Once I get the stuff I'll post a pic of my tablet, gosh I'm dieing to get it XD. Nothing new has really been up in my life besides camping last weekend when I got totally annoyed with my friend and then my family. I ended up coming home and going to Saginaw with my brother to see if I could find my game I wanted. But turns out all the stores are closed on the 4th, lucky go me I just wasted gas money. Went and saw fireworks in St. Louis, they were pretty cool. Celebrated my birthday on Sat because my grandma was leaving for a week and wouldn't be here for my birthday. I didn't really get any presents because I didn't know what I wanted and basically my tablet is my birthday gift. Got some money from my dad and grandparents for my first car that I need to get soon (and my license) so I'll be able to go to work when school starts up again, eek. Other than that pretty boring, oh did I mention I'm dying to get my tablet and game? Oh I think I did ha ha =D ~
Edit: I just realized that this is my 17th post on my 17th birthday, ha sorry XD...
