Started Walking!

Since my dad and me are trying to stay healthy we started walking around our neighborhood for about 30 minutes almost every night. I prefer to walk in the day time but, my dad likes to walk after we eat our dinner and it is usually night time by then. At least there is not as many cars driving around as there is in the day time. So we don't have to constantly try to avoid them while we are walking. Also there are alot of trees in our neighborhood and you can hear all the sounds of the possums, armadillos, rabbits, and raccoons scurrying across our neighbor's lawns. So, in a way it's kind of fun to walk at night.

    you got quite a bit of wildlife in your neighborhood. I have not seen an armadillo before, but have seen rabbits, possums and racoons where we have lived before.

    Walking is a great exercise!! Glad you and your dad are doing it together for the benefits of it plus getting to spend that time together. We usually try to walk Koda before it gets dark but in the winter months we have to walk him when it is dark, it is always good to carry a flashlight I think!

    enjoy the day!

    Ya, it is fun. Armadillos are basically just rats with shells on the top of them. We have street lamps in our neighborhood so we can see well. : )

Toy Cars And a New Computer!

Image
Look at all of my toy cars! I was just organizing them before I put them into a different box, but I had to move them a little early to make some roof for my new computer! So back into the box they went! I've always wanted to arrange my toy cars like this since I was a kid, when I would see them arranged like this in toy car collector magazines and books, I thought it looked pretty cool. Anyway I had to get a new computer because my laptop's screen finally went out and it was becoming slow. It would sometimes take couple of minutes to load a webpage, so I knew I had to get a new computer. I got a Lenovo from Microcenter. It's refurbished, but it looks and works like new. Microcenter also gives you a keyboard and mouse, but it doesn't come with a monitor unless you want one, but it will cost you  a little extra. The whole computer with keyboard and mouse cost a hundred dollars with thirty dollar shipping, very cheap and works better than my laptop.  The rea...

White Lies

She smiled through her white lies as she wandered from table to table. Being a waitress was not one of her funnest jobs and she didn't feel like explaining the menu to every single person. "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?" "They are all good!" she would say with a wearied smile. She didn't think that the food was all that good though, except for maybe the hamburger, but even that wasn't all that great either and she wanted to tell the truth, but it was her only job and she didn't want to lose it. Wandering and wandering through the tables day in and day out. Until one day she collapsed and it happened, the pasta fell all over the man in the suits shirt. "I ordered the food to eat it, not wear it!" Said the man in the suit with a sarcastic tone to the waitress. The waitress looked at the man in horror. "I'll..I'll...clean it up" she ...
