Prospect Found

Lately I've been feeling helpful. I feel like since I never spend money I should now do my part to boost the economy. With that said, I got new tires on Bonnie. She should be good for another 80,000 miles which should last me at least until I'm 30. YES I plan to have Bonnie at that time unless of course by then I have too many kids to fit in her spacious interior. That would mean in the next 7 years I'd have to find a wife and have 4 kids to fill her up. However there is bad news with this, it took about an hour longer than they told me and when I went to pay..

The girl has a button up polo shirt. It was unbuttoned and there was nothing to be seen other than her exceedingly large amounts of chest hair. Yes that is correct, along with my tires, I got valuable knowledge which is to never go to Tire Centers to find future girlfriends. Either way, I got a deal on some new tires. I'm sorry if this is a common problem among women but I wasn't aware. Now I know. Makes me one smart and lucky life-learning student.

Imagine a little of both.

I am my own person

Here I go taking a stand for something. Some of you may believe I am Hayley's puppet. No matter how much I want to do a puppet show for little niece and friends, I myself am not a puppet. (Anyone have puppet's they can share for a short program one weekend?)

She graduated from the cellar, so did I.

She moved to California, so did I.

She was a DeAnza Don, so am I.

She moved in with Tyler, so did I.

She uses Gmail, so do I.

She started a blog, so did I.

She started a Facebook, and this is where I draw the line.

Even though Hayley would have to be in my top 5 of siblings, I just can't do this one. I'm aware my two oldest sisters have a profile and more friends and counting than I do. This could ruin a family tradition that 1/4 of the family does. I know Hirama (name changed to protect the innocent) won't be starting a Facebook or a Blog. I don't want to put that added pressure on her if I were to add one. You know like the pressure of...well look at that, the two oldest children are married, I wonder who is next in line. That's the sort of stuff I'm trying to save Hirama from all the hootie hoo.

With that I am taking a stand to not avoid contact from people I know, but to be free on this here blog. I just never know what to write about. I want things to be interesting but how interesting can my life be?

Do you find it interesting that I just ate some delicious Minestrone soup and I couldn't hit my mouth for anything, soup kept dripping down my chin, no matter how hard I tried, the juice was on the loose.

Oh here's lame one, the house guests are on the road for vacation so I'm here. Now it's 9:22pm and I just spoke for the first time since awaking. My boss called me and so I had to break the silence. What is even more amazing is I haven't left the house, well, I did cross the street to bring Bonnie closer to the house, but I didn't see anyone out there.

Oh and Hayley, since my name will be at the top of your list until someone else takes the top spot, I just want you to know that this is dedicated to you and has been written as a Christmas gift. Merry Christmas! Other siblings, be on the watchout, I may find a gift for you too around here. Except for those that don't allow me to post their true identity.

What's up doc

So he's not really a doc, but his name is Pete. Now before I talk him up I better get Bonnie back and test her out. It is true my friends, Bonnie tried to die on me this week. Aside from me being cheap, I really do love Bonnie and it rips me apart to have spent the last few days so close yet so far away from her. This Pete guy looks like the truck driver on the classic "ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING". He's a good man and hopefully a great mechanic as I have entrusted him to put in a new transmission in my 119,000 jewel.

You won't be seeing my car which p.s. has much nicer rims, up for sale at Lucky Auto, Reason #1 is this is out of state, and as of today I couldn't take her that far. #2, they want $2200 for this hottie, when I looked up the value of mine the other day at work I was getting quotes of $50. It was a slow day so everyone at the bank found this quite funny. Good news is on the highest possible price I could have got $880! Unlike, my dad, my brother-in-law, and even my own mother...she's worth more alive than dead. Good news is, my dear sister hasn't had to take me all over town to do my daily functions. #1. I don't have many places to go, school and work. #2. I have entered the world of rental cars. Did you know you can get the cheapest car possible for less than $14 a day when used on Friday, Saturday or Sunday? A steal! I've been cruising around town more than usual since I've had my little Dodge Caliber. I guess last time Tyler's brother came out they rented one and they suggested the mice under the hood couldn't make it go fast enough. I would have to agree with them. Bonnie could beat this car in every aspect of a race any day. It is new but gutless. It makes me miss what I used to have.

Good news is Pete's feat will be accomplished on Monday and the duo of Austin and Bonnie will be so happy together. Now I realize I haven't written in this open space for a while and even though much has changes and happened, I don't really want to talk about it. I just have one more thing to say and that is that I pretty much love life. I love everything that happens to me and I really just laugh all day long. I am a happy person and mostly it comes from playing with little AVY, but Hayley and Tyler aren't so bad. I have even tried to get kicked out (multiple times) since I last wrote but when the plans come up for having 17 kids, they hope I'll still be there to which I respond, "Will we still be in a duplex?" Oh the joys that would be had if that were the case.

Only in Idaho

Famous UNCLE SAM following the police chief to start the parade.

I have been waiting to tell everyone in the world about my time at the annual SHELLEY IDAHO SPUD DAY, but it has just been crazy. I go off and play only to find things are still needing to be completed when I get back. Basically since I've returned from my wonderful bonding time with PAPI Bird in Honduras, I've cut myself off from everything that wasn't school or work. I'm just trying to keep my head above water. Oh and by the way, for the last month or so I've picked up a new job to fill in where I had extra time.

Back to Spud Day:

YES the city fountain is dyed blue to many residents disgust. They commented on it to me since I had never seen it before.

• Only in IDAHO can you go to a parade and see the entire town on main street
  
  
• Only in IDAHO you can watch the first 3 floats (fire engines) go by with sun light, the next 11 in rain, then next 14 floats in cloudy but dry skys and then hail. Good news is, each float was giving lots of candy to the two out of towners. Since my friend Anthony and I were out of staters we got special treats like Idaho Spud bars which he liked, bags of potato chips, and of course, free taters for out of staters! Bad news is, the fancy roads in Shelley have a few places where puddles gather and it seemed that the candy throwers from the floats could only land the candy in the puddles. Soggy tootsie rolls anyone?

• Only in IDAHO can my friend get sick of me stopping and talking to every other person. I had 13 hours on the ride home to try to convince him I'm not a celebrity, just from a small town.


• Only in IDAHO can you stop at a roadside potato cellar and ask the farmer if you can take some pictures since your friend has never seen so many spuds. (he got really excited when the Shelley High School MR. Russett mascot strolled by in the parade.)

• 
• Only in IDAHO can you stand in line for a prime-rib sandwich in front of the honorable Mayor Swede Christensen and not even know it. I had to give Anthony a lesson on who was standing behind him. Anthony wanted to take a picture. I declined being paparatzi.
  
  Funnel Cakes are about 70% the reason I went. Cannon's blessing was about 85% and the fact that I mentioned Idaho 3 months before and Anthony would let me forget we were going to Idaho was about 40% You do the MATH.
  
• Only in IDAHO do I have such a wonderful place to call home. Even though I was on the broken chair all night, I slept like a saint. I got to see my cute little nephews and my cute little brother in law, and of course the regulars of the Bird house.
  
  
• Only in IDAHO can you go to the store to buy treats for co-workers and get them IDAHO SPUD bars. I still claim they are nasty but everyone seemed to like them.


• Only for SPUD DAY would I drive 27 hours only to spend 26 hours in IDAHO.
