Final Twilight trailer

OK I saw this and got all kinds of excited!! I cannot wait until November 21st!!!

The Frog and the Tupperware......

OK so we have to dag living in our house right now due to the blasted fences being broken from the hurricane. The fences are propped up so we can let Shadow out in the backyard so she can take care of business. So this morning I walked over to the back door, opened it, and called for the dog to coem on out onto the carpet so she could get to the backyard. She goes outside and waits by the door for me to join her. So nonchalantly I start to head in the direction of going out the door and I grab the door handle as I am going so I can close the door behind me. I did not want to cool all of Southeast Texas. And as I grabbed the knob, my hand touched something unexpected. It was a little wet. I just thought there was something yucky on the knob until I heard a soft thud on the ground.... I look down and this is what i see.

Yes a tree frog!! I kinda start to freak out because I just really do not do well with the whole reptile and amphibian families of creatures. Then it starts jumping further in the house and oh my gosh I almost lost it..... I am the only one home mind you...

So what do i do you may be asking yourself...... I do what anyother good Nelson woman would do. I ran into the kitchen abd got a tupperware bowl. I came back and it had jumped onto the fireplace ledge, and it was like right on the corner so i could not put the bowl on top of it and really trap it underneath the bowl so I try just making loud noises and movement around it. Not a real good idea. The frog proceeds to jump towards me, and again the freaking out resumes. I scream a little and back away. The frog then starts to jump towards the open door, I no longer care about cooling Southeast Texas. I was all kinds of excited, and then it veers off to the left and gets into all the gaming equipment and cords behind the entertainment center. I tried kicking the toy guitar to get it to move and it would not move. Then all of a sudden it makes a mad dash and it is right by the exit to the outdoors. The frog ran under the door towards the parents room. I was just thinking to myself, "Well if it gets in there at least mom isn't home for a few more days so the boys have time to find it....." Then one thing led to another and it ended up hiding between the fireplace and the movie shelf. I was not real happy about this. I almost left the house to wait until a boy got home in about 3 hours. But before I did so I grabbed a flashlight so I could possibly locate where exactly the little sucker was, and by the time I had come back with the flashlight it had come out of hiding. It was in the middle of the floor. Perfect position for the tupperware bowl to go on top of it. So I get on top of the fireplace, because my thinking was that I would be safe up there I mean it is not like the frog had already been on the fireplace.... I drop the bowl and kinda freak out because I was all prepared for me to miss it or for the frog to jump out from under the bowl before it hit the ground. But I had it. I had the frog under the tupperware bowl!!! Now came the part of getting it back outside. So inch by inch I slide the bowl across the ground, jumping away from the bowl everytime the darn frog would jump and hit the bowl. Then I got to the ledge it front of the door that prevented me from being able to just slide the bowl outside and lifting the bowl in the frogs domain. I was real scared lifting up the bowl to let the little guy out because what if he didn't go the way I wanted him to go and I had to start all over again. Luckily, I lifted the bowl and he jumped to his freedom. I quickly stood up and closed the door and locked it, like the frog was going to break in, and let out a sigh of relief. Oh and the dog just watched me during the whole ordeal, just cocking her head to the side and looking at me.... Yeah i was not real happy about that either.

So after a good fifteen minutes of trauma I have recovered. I just really wish I had had a video camera to record it for everyones enjoying pleasure but alas I did not and you will just have to picture it all in your mind. And mom and Cassie it was very similar to the night of the geckos...... just nothing had to die this time.

Loopy Lippy

So I got my wisdom pulled this morning and it wwnt really great. They gave me a sedative and laughing gas. I was not completely under but I was gone. I fell asleep and then the next thing I know they are telling me to stand up and walk over to another chair. I was like wait a minute aren't you going to pull out my teeth? Apparently they already had.... who knew?!!! So I sit up in the chair and the ground is moving under my feet and the room is rocking back and forth. I look at the lady and say, "you want me to get up?? Yeah thats not happening." She responded with its OK as long as you stand up we will guide you to the next room. I was just like OK but the room is moving all over the place. I get into the next room laying in one of the wonderful dental chairs, and i get a text message. Naturally I have to answer the text..... I was seeing about 2 and a half phones in my hands and it really made it difficult to respond to the text. I did though and the lady came in and was told me that I was not allowed to text yet. And I said oh well ok then I apologize. They were all laughing at me. I was pretty silly I guess. The doctor releases me to Dad and then we are walking out to the car and I took a corner a little quick and my world took a little bit to catch up to me.... it was kinda cool. Dad held onto me the rest of the time to the car even though i was fighting him a little telling him I was fine and didn't need help. So we get in the car and I look in the mirror for the first time and this is what I see.....


As you can see my cheeks were already a little bit on the swollen side. Granted it could have just been the fact that my mouth was loaded up with gauze, but still they looked swollen to me. When I saw this I turned to dad and said, "Dad, we need to get a move on I am already swelling, and I don't want that to happen sir." He laughed at me and told me that we were getting there. Then I looked at where we were and I was like where the heck are we??? Then I remembered where we were and everything was good. After that i just took a liitle bit of a look at my mouth becasue it was sooooo incrediblely dry and this is what I saw...... This a a little gross for those with weak little tummies.
Are you seeing what I saw??? There was blood all over my lips. I was kinda like eww that is nasty. Then dad was like oh you have been kissing on Edward Cullen now haven't you and I was just like yes, yes I have...... if only... that would have been awesome. But so anyway I am home now and I have taken all the meds I needed to. I almost died in the process of doing that but I am OK now. I'm just chilling here in my bed waiting for Zach and Chase to get home so they can take care of me, because dad had to get back to work to teach some flight controllers or astronauts or something like that. I am icing my face down which BTW I cannot feel anything from my top lip down to about my neck. it is pretty cool. And this is what I look like right now.
Yes those are socks and that is me attempting to smile. I took one picture and I looked so pathetic I didn't think I should put it up here, so I trued smiling and this is what I got. Thats all for now folks. I think I am going to try to goto sleep now I think the meds are starting to kick in a little bit... I am beginning to see things double again. :) Not majorly but a little bit and it is kinda hard to type like that. So peace out and if anyone wants some entertainment you could probably give me a call I I would be all kinds of fun to talk to most likely.
