Things and Other Things That Are Called Thingamajigs

Walking to my friend's car from church one day, he showed me to the trunk where a slightly beat-up guitar lay. This guitar had seemingly rusted strings and a large hole in one side. My friend and I thought we could fix it. The next day, we meet at my house to patch up the hole. Everything goes as planned until the sanding and the finish. The piece didn't fit in exactly, so I couldn't sand it so that it was flat, and the finish didn't soak in very well, besides the fact that I made a huge mess. In the end, it looked "interesting" yet cool in it's own "special" way. I gave it back to my friend and he thought it looked great because he didn't expect much (paper thin wood attached by gorilla glue and not sanded or finished). It was fun at least and NO ONE GOT HURT(or at least not too badly...).

Life is going good with the moving situation. We have our house on the market, had a couple showings, but no offers yet. The families that don't want us to move seem to be plotting against us. Leaving friends behind will be painful, but I'll make friends out west. The end of the school year is drawing nearer and marking our last days in the Land of Lincoln.

Ooooh!!! Jared, my family doesn't know you, but I'll find a way to get them to plot against you unknowingly!!! :)

Hi Rjgbrain!!!!!!

Jared said...

Rjgbrain said...

Yay! Jens giong to be nice for once. :)

Jen said...

Yeah RIGBRAIN! For once!
That smart remark about my brother is going to cost you BIG TIME!!! ;)

No Jared, I'm not going to calm down and shut up. He makes a remark about my brother and I go back at him with everything I've got! (Which is more than you may think.)

BTW-he actually shaved!!! He looks 15 (which is weird, because his girlfriend's 18)

Jared said...

What are you talking about and what does this have to do with the post? When did I tell you to shut up? What is wrong with you people?!?

Jen said...

Jared. He made a smart remark about my brother. I'm the only one who's allowed to do that since I'm his sister. I got "mad" at him. You didn't tell me to shut up and it has nothing to do with the post, really.

As for what's wrong with me (us) (the world) the list is too long to think about. :)

Jared said...

You are messed up! You put a smiley face after "As for what's wrong with me (us) (the world) the list is too long to think about"! People are going insane!

Jen said...

Oh. And you're not?

Jared said...

Of course I'm not messed up or insane. I am completely awesome and nothing else.
