Subject: Yes, *he agrees, glancing down at her, his eyes glowing with love.* Author: Star/Chris [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:44:43 12/04/02 Wed In reply to: Expresso 's message, "Laughing at herself a little she nods and walks beside him*" on 14:51:56 12/03/02 Tue OOC: That's AWESOME about your sister! It's cool that she's doing a troubled-teen thingie. And I'm so glad that she could come for Thanksgiving. OMG, I had *2* Thanksgiving dinners in a row...one the day before Thanksgiving with my immediate family and then I went to my aunt & uncles on the actual day. Kestrel's doing good. She's on the seventeenth chapter of her fourth book . . . page 154 or something!!! I'm so proud of her. She's hoping to send off some short stories to periodicals soon. ~~~ That's so ***SAD*** about Libby!! I know what you mean about being empty. I feel that way when you're not here. :( ~~~ Riding is coming along great, I'm mastering the canter, at LAST!) My 2 main problems now are staying on the outside of the ring and not banging on Stinker's mouth. ~~~ Something interesting from the mind of Chris: my mom told me a little while ago that my late paternal Grandfather (popularly known as 'Grampa') used to let me sit and watch horrible things on TV with him when I was around 3 or 4...he was kinda vague, I guess he didn't know how to tell a kid to go away! Really horrible things. Like people being blown up. *Grimace.* Arrg. Anyway, my mom said that she wondered if seeing those dreadful things kind of stuck in my brain. I said I didn't think so then, but now I'm sort of changing my mind...I feel so violent sometimes. I mean, I totally think war STINKS and stuff, but still... Anywayz. Tell me what you think. Luv, Chris P.S. I'll IM you RIGHT NOW! (suprise, surprise!~) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Blushing a little, she chuckles under her breath at herself.Things haven't changed one bit... (OOC: Wow, Chris I really miss you. Reading your post just made me feel a lot better. Not that I was bad to begin with, but you know what I mean. Whoa, go Kestrel! I've written at LEAST fifty books - unfinish but attempted. The highest page number I've ever been to was in the 60's or 70's I believe. I'm working on one now about how my friend Liz led me to Christ and everything. It's pretty good so far (I think) - but then again I'm only on page 8. Yea, talk about crying, I just couldn't stop about Libby. Me, my Pop, and my Mum got in an arguement the other night and like everything just sort of hit me and I was thinking about Lib and everything and I was just *SO* sad. I couldn't stop crying. I hate when I lose control of my own tears...ya know? Anyway, that's SO SO *SO* cool about your canter. Ick, mine's so lost right now. I haven't ridden in ages. And with winter coming things will only worsen (until spring comes around that is). I have the most horrible habit of slacking w/my riding during the cold season. I wish it was nice and warm out - like 75 degrees maybe. That's always been a good temperature. Maybe 70 for good riding weather. (Am I babbling?) That's really awful about your grandfather. I get sort of like that too. I just think out what I'd do over again and again. I could never actually go thru with anything of course. There's just a lot of pent up anger. I think everyone has it. Although the first 3 years of a childs life are the years that have the greatest impact on their personality. I play mind games with myself a lot. I duno, it's weird. Like I try to make myself really depressed whenever I'm having a not so great day, it's like wallowing in it makes me feel a little better about feeling worse - you know? lol, or maybe I'm just a little strange. Hey, I don't want to plan anything just yet, but I was talking to my friend about you and how we met and how close we are and stuff, and she asked if we were ever going to meet. I don't think we should meet any time soon, but do you think we ever will? It's so weird to imagine NOT meeting you, but I haven't really given it much thought. I feel like I all ready have. Maybe when I'm like, 18 right before I head off for college we'd meet. Wouldn't it be weird if we went to the same college? hehe. I think I want to go to Del-Val (Delaware Valley), it's local and they're VERY well known for working with animals. I'm not sure what I want to do yet, but you can bet that animals will be involved. I got a while to decide I suppose. You have IM?!?!?!?!?! You *HAVE* to IM me sometime! I'm usually on at night, but it sort of depends. I should get going. It's like 10 and I don't think it's too smart to just assume that we'll have that delay tomorrow (expecting snow all ready). Talk to you later. Love you always, Tess

I get headaches when I cry alot. I know, I'm a guy so I shouldn't cry, but I do, so . . . 3) Yeah, I guess we do all have some anger. But some people seem like they're happy, like, ALL THE TIME. It gets on my nerves! *LOL* CYA later, I luv u! Hearts, Chris OXOXOXOXOXO

I'm suppose to meet her unofficial boyfriend. Yea, you gotta IM me, except I got this new version 5.0 and I USE to have like the oldest version ever, so I can't even find out how to make my profile and stuff. It's pretty messed up. I'll figure it all out eventually. My one friend said he downloaded it purposely so he could figure out how to use it and then tell me. hehe. Everyone cries, I hate the label that guys have w/anti crying it's so stupid because then they just seem insensitive. Oh my gosh, I know this girl, she's in my french class and she's NEVER not smiling...it's so creepy. She's like perfect at everything! I swear, if she had to go thru surgery they'd find out that she's a robot. Or maybe she's like a pod person or something....freaky. So anyway, my Mum should be home soon. I'm gonna be coming home tomorrow *Saturday* so...yea. I'll stop by here as soon as I get home. Talk to you later. *I love you!* Tess XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO<---I beat you - i have more!;-D

Just this moment, instead of typing 'Chris' in the Name box, I typed Xheis! (Sounds like Xena's boyfriend...*lol*) Ooog, that girl in your French class sounds scary. I hate people who are always smiling. Yesterday I went to this really cool thing. First their was a Christmas sing. Then there was a potluck, and then an English Country Dance! Neat huh?

Xena's boyfriend! *smiles & rolls eyes* One time my friend Heather made the typo "nkfd" and I was like"what's that stand for" lol. I'm afraid of clown *REALLY* badly, because I mean, who smiles like that all the time? It's inhuman! SO therefore I'm afraid of Jackie (the creepy chick in my french class). Country dancing is the coolest thing there is! Except I like can't dance like that. hehe. I wish I could dance like that tho. It does sound like you had a lot of fun. GUESS WHAT! I'm going to a concert next sunday. It's Y100 feastival with New Found Glory, Coldplay, and Good Charlotte, those are like three of my top 5 fave bands! I'm SO pysched! I've all ready seen Good Charlotte and New Found Glory at Warped Tour but I've never seen Cold Play, plus I like LOVE Good Charlotte, so I'd see them ANY DAY (my desk top background is a collage of Billy Martin from Good Charlotte or GC). I should get going my Mum wants to go to the mall & I'm gonna try to go with her. Oh, also, it was SO weird. This kid I went to school with 3,4, & 7th grade and I was sorta friends w/moved at the end of 7th grade. I emailed him for a bit but then we lost touch. WELL - I went up to my cousins this weekend and he was at their local mall! I almost cried when we got home tho - he changed *SO* much :'(! He use to be the sweetest, most innocent guy ever! I could tell him anything, but when I saw him this weekend all he'd talk about is pot, and girls! It scared me! He sounded proud of it. He even tried to sell me pot! I was like,"noooo thank u!" lol. Chris NEVER EVER EVER get like that! It just made me so sad. *sniff* *sniff* All right, for real, I'm leave'n now.

I can really understand how you must feel, all I have to do is just imagine seeing Neil Young, Bob Dylan and The Band live. *Sigh* A dream that won't come true! That's sad about that kid from your class. There's this girl I know, Rosa, who is really messed up. She's sixteen, and check out these two stories: 1), She didn't know where she was for a whole day and she thinks that somehow she was stoned, and 2) When she and a friend of her's were hanging out at this wedding where they were supposed to be helping, she got so drunk that someone had to come and take her away. I'm SO scared for her! And she's like, one of the nicest, funniest, most thoughtful people you'll know. She's adopted, too, which makes her really sad. Anyway, luv ya, bye! Chris Oh-ho!

Author: Tess [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:36:45 12/11/02 Wed Aw yea, well I'll never see The Beatles so I can sympathize with you there... Yea, my aunt was adopted (my grandparents were foster parents and they adopted her) and she has a lot of problems. I think she just got out of rehab for drug use and now she's trying to get back custody of her son. I think she'll win tho cuz he hadnt seen his dad since he was 2 years old & he's an alcoholic and they suspect abuse may be involved. And altho my Aunt Julie's a lil messed up, she's always put her son first. So there's not much else to say - oh wait...guess what. :-\ I'm single for the first time in 13 months and 5 days. It's a really long story. Long story short: Frank was actin weird, I suspected that he might be doing it so I'd break up w/him cuz he didn't want to be responsible for the break up, so I called him last night to see whats up and he agreed that we dont have much of a relationship & we should take a break. End of story. :'( I'm a lil bummed, but I suppose in the long run it's good. Who knows maybe in a year we'll be back together. :-) Love, Tess And by the way!....

Anyway, we were climbing up this steep hill, and the car was swerving all over the place, and so finally my dad said, "All right, we aren't gonna get up". So we reversed the car down the hill and drove it to a house near by where some friends of ours live, and asked them if they could help us, and they said sure. So Beth--the mom--drove us home in her pick-up truck, which has 4-wheel drive. *Phew!* What an adventure. We saw some crazy skid marks and a few cement posts knocked over, though... *shudder.* Luv, Chris All right, you asked for it: OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXO XOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO *Gurgles and staggers.* (*lol*)

Well, I guess everyone is, but me ESPECIALLY I'm always telling my mum to drive slower, or watch out for the car pulling out, or whatever... So yea, I'm totally fine with the break up w/frank now cuz he was really rude to me this morning. I tapped him on the shoulder & smiled and he just looked at me and kept walking! Then I was like,"How are you?" and he said good but walked faster! I was walking next to the kid down 2 pretty long halls the whole time, and he just completely acted like I wasn't there! Ick. ANYWAY, there's this kid Brian that's really nice and everything and I know this girl (USE to be friends with but she's a chronic lier and her mind only ever thinks about boys) and she found out that I kinda like Brian, right? So today when I normally walk with him between buildings, she was! And I tried to walk up to him but she picked up her pace (and he didn't see me so he did too) and a huge crowd of ppl got in my way so I couldn't catch up! I was so mad. Grrr....But anyway, I might ask him out tomorrow cuz we're going on a feild trip & he's in my group. We'll see how the day goes... Love, Tess So um yea, That's a lot of X's and O's.

It was really bad, then really good, then OK, and now I'm just stressed. I have so much to get done tomorrow and I really should be asleep right now if I need to wake up as early as I do *church* *BUT* I decided to go on Instant Messenger instead! ;-D Well I'm talking to my friend on IM now, so I think I'm gonna get going - can't do too much all at once. ;-) XOXO (simple works) Love ya, Tess

Except that I'm really worried for my Aunt Tessa. She has cancer, ya know, and she's just decided that she's gonna stop having chemotherapy treatments. This may mean that she's expecting to let go soon. But who knows, maybe it'll turn out for the best and she'll recover. I hope so!!! Say a prayer for her if you can, thanks a million, Tess! Luv, Chris

That's really scary. Cancer's such an awful disease. I can't wait for people to find a cure for it. Wow, can you imagine the reaction they'd get from the media for that sort of thing? All those families with relatives with cancer, friends, the actual PEOPLE with cancer - I would *LOVE* to see how happy the world would be. That kind of thing would unit everyone so much. Have you ever read the book Sunshine? Oh man, I use to remember the authors name - Jaquelyn something or other, but it's about this like 19 year old girl who was diagnosed with cancer. She was so happy with her life - she loved her little girl (she had a two year old daughter), and she had a boyfriend that she loved A LOT *not her daughters father though* named Sam, who loved her back so much. and then cancer happened. She took chemo for a while but it made her so sick and there was so little hope, so she decided to go off treatment. She had the best two years of her life before she died. She kept a diary on audio cassettes for her little girl to hear when she grew up and was old enough to understand what happened so that way she would know how much her mother loved her. It was really sad, but really good. The sad thing about it is that it's true. But once you read the book, you'll think it's like the most beautiful thing ever, the Mum moves up to the mountains (where she's always wanted to live) and just writes, and plays with her daughter, and loves her boyfriend. It's great. Yea...so anyway, Liz is here so I think I'm gonna go before she gets too bored. Love, Tess

Author: Chris [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:48:42 12/19/02 Thu It's amazing to think how the girl would feel when she heard her mother's voice, and all that . . . *sniff.* Wow. Sunshine, huh? I'll have to look for it. My riding teacher told me something annoying, but funny: we've been having a ton of snow here, and then she told my that next Saturday (12/21) is supposed to get up into the 50's!! So we'll have had all this snow, and then MUD for Christmas. Lol. Anyway, cya later. Love, Chris

Author: Tess [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:20:37 12/23/02 Mon That really sucks about the weather for Christmas. I'm not sure how things will be here. Man, I haven't done any Christmas shopping. I have to buy for like, at least two more people, and that's not including my family. Grrrrr....Call me a grinch but I hate buying Christmas presents. I never know what to get people. Frank I got an Ozzy book, Ashley I got bath & body works stuff, Liz I made her a mix tape (something that has to be smuggled - she's not allowed to listen to anything that's not Christian or Disney! lol)but I still need to get Hannah something and I'm not sure if I should get Brian anything or not, so I'm just gonna get him something small but I have NO clue what...grrr. Did I tell you that I'm going out with Brian now? Yea...I asked him out Friday. You're the first person I'm telling this to (haven't even told Liz) but I don't know...I'm having second thoughts about us going out. I mean, I'm totally cool with it, but he's just so quiet and we don't really know eachother. I almost feel like I'm dating a stranger. Like I know stuff about him, but I don't know his mannerisms, or what his favorite meal is, or how he treats his brothers or cats or parents, ya know? I know all that stuff about Frank. It's just such a contrast. I duno I g2g. Ttyl. Love, Tess

Author: Chris [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:41:42 12/25/02 Wed That's weird about going out with Brian, but not knowing him. Do you know what sun-sign he is? Well, Aunt Tessa is winding down. My uncle B. (Her husband, Brian (*LOL*), wrote to me and my family: Dear all of you, Tessa remains in-between this realm and whatever comes next... She is in her room, the one with all her clothes and her little desk. She has someone, one of her devoted friends, with her day and night, so I can sleep. I also sit with her often. On Sunday we had our music party, and also many of the 60 or so people in attendance had very short visits with Tessa. It was a gamble; but it seemed to work beautifully. Yesterday afternoon Tessa asked for no more visitiors, and said she just wanted a very few people to come to her room. She was very specific and clear about this, and we are honoring it. It is all so remarkable, and in its way very beautiful. Tessa is dozing a lot, she is on quite a lot of morphine, which works very well, and her life is simplified to little sips of water, and just lying in bed, with her room illumined by two little New England window candles. We moved the oxygen machine next door, so it is peaceful. She is often restless, often speaks, quite wonderful images and things who knows where they come from. This morning she suddenly broke into 'O Come All Ye Faithful' while Juna [A freind of the family's] and I were there with her, so we joined in. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas much love from b ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Sniffle.* God, I'll miss her like hell. Love ya Chris

He's actually older than me! I usually end up going out with people younger. He'll be 16 this March - I have till August :-) My Dad says I'm not allowed to get in the car with him until he's 18 hehe, but I think he's only joking. Wow, that must be really rough on everyone about your aunt. I'm still praying for her. She sounds like a wonderful lady! I can imagine how you'd be missing her all ready. It's good that she's so peaceful though. I can understand that she'd want to be at home in familar surroundings with those she loves rather than in a hospital with all the wires, needles, and noise. Hopefully you all had a wonderful Christmas. Praying for a miracle. Love, Tess

Author: Chris [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:19:16 12/28/02 Sat She died the night after Christmas, at 12:05. I'm still kinda in shock. Uncle Brian seems to be doing okay. When my dad (his brother) called him back, he was able to laugh about things. (My dad is good at cheering people up.) I pray for his life continuing with peace and joy. March tenth--that's Pisces. The same as George Harrison! *LOL* I had a great Christmas. Together, Kestrel and I got ELEVEN new Neil Young CDs! We're both in heaven. We hadn't heard any of them before--oh, except for Sleeps With Angels. It's an amazing album. There's this one song called "Change Your Mind" which is 14 minutes long! It's about someone REALLY hooked on some drug--probably heroin, it's the most addictive--and the singer is trying to make them 'change their mind'. The first verse and chorus go: When you get weak And you need to test your will Life's complete But there's somethin' missin' still Distracting you from this Must be the one you love Must be the one who's magic touch Can change your mind Don't let another day go by Without the magic touch Distracting you (Change your mind) Supporting you (Change your mind) Embracing you (Change your mind) Convincing you (Change your mind) Wow. He's just incredible. Love, Chris

Author: Tess [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:06:34 01/03/03 Fri She's ok. She turned right at a red light without stopping first. A van hit her and she needed 3 staples in her head. She totalled her car and now that she doesn't have a way of transportation she has to quit her job, but thats all actually considered good news when you think about how much worse it could have been. Especially with her condition. Anyway, I'm terribly sorry about your aunt. We've recieved bad news in our house hold having our enemy be cancer as well. My mums cousin, who also was her room mate in college and a bridesmaid at my parents wedding is dying of cancer. Her name is Diane. She's 44 and the cancer is completely spread throughout her body - even in her lungs. They've given her the most powerful dose of chemo out there - so strong that she can only go through it once without having it kill her. Even with this chemo they only give her a 5-15% chance of surviving the cancer. That news is sad enough in its self, but she also has a severely handicapped son whose 16 or 17 and in a wheel chair. He'll be dependant on others for life. She also has a son in 5th grade. It's good that your uncle Brian is handling it so well. I'm sure it helps to know he has his brother and family right there for him through this all. Haha, so is George a Picses or is his birthday march 10th too? Wow, I'm shocked that someone around my age knows their beatle trivia better than I do! Well now I have to get you on something.... ok, what's the beatles longest recorded song and how long is it? Ahhh I g2g to moniques i'll talk to you later. That songs sounds awesome by the way. I have more to tell you but it'll have to wait! Love Always, Theresa

Author: Chris [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:31:41 01/06/03 Mon ...cousin twice removed, or whatever she is! My Mom's cousin, an intelligent but very depressed woman, hanged herself on New Year's day in the barn. She left no note. Hmm, I dunno when George's birthday is, but he's a Pisces. OMG, that's DREADFUL about your sister...she sure seems to have bad luck. Gurg. Bad time of year. I had the BEST RIDING LESSON IN THE UNIVERSE today! OMG, I died, I really did! I got to trot over cross-rails it was SO EXCITING! The first step to jumping, I'm just so dying with excitement. One time, after I went over the first cross-rail, Stinker got excited and started cantering! And she just about JUMPED the second one! YAHOOOO! And what's more, Mary Kay (my instructor) was in a really good mood cause she's a grandmother! (She's 59, I think.) Her first grandchild, a girl, was born last night. I'm so happy for her. Anyway, cya later, lotsa hugz, Chris oxo
