Attack of the Killer Pink Frogs (aka interrupting the migration patterns of funny looking pink frogs)

I love my grandpa. and his friend. those of you who have not heard the story of our poor pathetic saturn car, it had pretty much died and was just sitting on the side of the road. my grandpa's friend loves fixing up old cars (thats actually who we got our van from, its a 92) and he came down (during the week of the huge blizzard) dug it out of the snow, and took it back up to findlay to play with it and try to get it working again. today, my grandpa revealed that the saturn is going to be my birthday present! yay that makes me happy! i have to get my license now. i think he was even saying he would put the title in his name, so he'd pay insurance and everything, but the car would be mine. ah, thats such good news! although, its not quite fixed yet, but they're pretty sure it'll get there. but thats not all. my grandpa also took my dad out today while me amy and mom were watching sahara again (which is my new favorite movie, its awesome, i've seen it twice now) and paid for a new hp computer! i don't know why my grandparents are rich. my grandmas an artist, but its not like everyones clamoring for her paintings, although they are beautiful and have won a few local awards. my grandpa is a ww2 vet and worked for marathon, but its not like he was the ceo or anything. ah well. the point is, we have a new computer and i will have my own car! and our new computer has a gigantic hard drive. our computer now is 40 gbytes, and we don't even use all of that, but our new one is 160 gbytes. and thats the only statistic i know, sorry.

in other exciting news, my dad finally graduated from msj today, so he officially has his masters degree in education and can start teaching next year. my aunt janissa and grandparents are down for the weekend (hence all the exciting gifts from grandpa). emilys having loads of fun playing with aj, as she calls our aunt janissa. she's really wonderful with emily, and em loves her. actually, em's bummed out because i'm flying out to visit aj this summer, because she told us that each of us can visit her the summer after our junior year, and em's sad because its just me going and not her. ah well. she'll be very depressed and mopey for the week after aj leaves, but she'll bounce back.

aaaanything else exciting........don't think so. i've been listening to some really funny stories aj has about wildlife encounters, as thats pretty much what she does for a living (thats where the title comes from here). so thats all for today. oh, the quotes for the next several entries will probably be to do with chocolate, because i got a bag of dove candies today, and they have quotes on the wrappers, most about chocolate.


chocolate makes everything a little bit better.
