Some things to get excited about...

I don't really have much to say; nothing new has really happened to me. Life is continuing as it always does here. It rained all yesterday and this morning and now; the pond's overflow pipes are overflowing; the yard is too wet for me to cut; and the mosquitos will probably be terrible when I go and feed the chickens. Golgomath and Cordera (the female yellow-bellied slide turtle) now make appearances every time we feed the fish, Cordera more so than Golgomath, although Golgomath did surprise us by actually swimming up to the surface to grab a few bites. He sure is big! My niece and nephew are now with their Aunt and Uncle over near Ft. Bragg, and I miss them. It's nice having a quiet house, but I do miss them. They both are walking advocates that decent people can come from not-so-decent homes, because they are good kids, and smart, and if they could just get some encouragement and positive attention at home, I'm sure they could do wonderful things! My sister is at Governor's school, learning about forensics and pharmacology, the lucky wanker. A guy asked her to a dance last weekend and she accepted. Background reports and criminal records are still pending approval on this so-called "Jacob." I'm thinking of making empanadas or empanaditas for dessert, but I can't decide whether to fill them with apricots or peaches, and then what spices to use for each. My Dad and my brother went for a walk during a dry spell and are now conked out, snoring, one on the couch and one in his room. Mom's at work. That leaves me to do whatever. I think I'll pick some flowers, make a nice bouquet, and then make a decision on what to make for dinner and what to fill those empanadas with. So, that being said, I thought I'd find something to motivate myself, or something to get excited about. Here's my list:
*Spending a few days with Karren and Dim, I mean Darren and Kim, in Charleston this weekend.
*Playing scattergories with Darren and Kim, and then just having a good time.
*Bringing my sister home for her break the weekend after Karren and Dim's.
*Watching Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest with my sister and whoever else wants to tag along when we go see it.
*Watching the Don Johnson version of The Long Hot Summer on July 15th(14th - whichever one's a Friday). If you've never seen it, watch it - if you're into southern drama and romance with hot men, you'll love it. I love it, even the 1957 version with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward works for me, but I like Don Johnson in the 1985 version best.
*Callie's birthday on the 17th of July. I think I've found the perfect present, but I have to do some thinking on it first.
*Sean Bean every Saturday night at nine on the BBC America Channel.
*The Devil Wears Prada coming out sometime in June-July
*Shakespeare's As You Like It coming out sometime this year (with Kevin Kline, Romola Garai, and Bryce Dallas Howard)
*Becoming Jane coming out, featuring Anne Hathaway as Jane Austen falling in love with James McAvoy (Narnia - Mr. Tumnus) and writing Pride and Prejudice.
