PS Will some one please release an album of Alexander O’Neils stuff? Im getting all soft over it again…

That says sAx, not sEx. You dirty minded people. Anyway, so yesterday was the first day of my saxophone lessons with the guy named Steve. Since we cannot afford to pay anyone to teach me, the deal is homemade cookies and dinner for lessons. So, during the day Colin took a long nap and I baked oatmeal raisin cookies, plain oatmeal cookies (for those who don’t like raisins) and chocolate no bake cookies. Granted they are “no bake” cookies, but that doesn’t mean they don’t still take a chunk of time to make! I spent a good part of two hours making wonderful smelling cookies that I was not supposed to eat. Well, I ate some of them anyway. So, Steve, the sax guy is supposed to show up at 4:30pm, as per our conversation on Monday when we set the whole thing up. 4:30 rolls around, and he’s not here. No problem, I know there’s plenty of God-awful traffic heading this way around that time. 5 o’clock. No Steve. 5:30, I’m thinking, “where in the heck is this guy??? Bloated and Dead on the side of the road?” By SIX THIRTY Mark grumbles, “I don’t think he’s coming” through a mouthful of oatmeal raisin cookies. I check my phone to see if maybe I didn’t hear it ring and he had some really good excuse as to why he couldn’t make it. No phone calls. I check my e-mail to see if he was being held captive in Iraq and about to be beheaded and I am the only one that can help him. No e-mails. WTF??? Hello?? If you make plans with someone who is desperate to learn to play the saxophone, you’d better have a darn good excuse as to why you’re not showing up! At 7:15 Mark and I went to visit his friend who was playing some game with miniature pewter figures (what the heck is that, you ask? I have no idea) and don’t even see the guy til the game is over. What a waste of my life, waiting and waiting and waiting, and NOT getting to PLAY the SAX!!! AHHHHH. And that is the way it goes…

Tell me, what is this from… “I HAVE THE POWER…” Tee hee. Yes, you know it, and you know you loved it also. We set up Colin’s college fund today. We’re investing $30 a month (that’s the minimum) into some mutual funds, and some day in about 500 years Colin will have enough money to afford a community college! Yay for inflation!! Ok, this is pretty much a test of nonsensical things to come… Enjoy further ramblings at some point in the future. Ta ta.

Beach volley ball an Olympic sport? Did you see the heats went on for days long after some events had gone home? And the men trotted out in baggy shirts and bottoms? Should be renamed Jigglyball if you ask me.. no dont ask me. Alll the ref’s were men.

Bagsy Twister for an Olympic sport cos I can defo win Gold at that. Come on Team GB!!

Bloody hell…the sun has actually dared to show itself today.

So, those Olympics eh? They were good. I won’t bore you with my favoutire parts, but i did see in the paper yesterday that the EU wants to ammalgamate all the European countries under one flag for the Beijing games in 08. To give you some idea how that would work out, the US earned a fantatstic 126 Medals this year as opposed to the EU with 286. Mein Gotten!!! Honestly though…it’s a stupid idea and Im personally boycotting the Beijing games and won’t be participating in any of the races or events, simply in protest of the EU’s suggestion. (Remember that when you don’t see me win anything…or even attend :-0)

Oh..by the way….they went and promoted me. Hurrah!!! Back down south, back to reality :-s
