The Day the Fridge Caught on Fire

Only a couple of days ago the weirdest thing happened. Me and my cousin were watching detective conan when my sister yelled for our help from the kitchen. We ran out because my sister only ever calls if it's an absolute emergency. The whole kitchen was full of smoke and she was trying to set out a fire behind the fridge. Thank goodness it wasn't a big fire, but because she couldn't get the fire extinguisher to work i called the fire department. I felt somewhat safer 'cause they answered the call right away. The fire went out but we no longer owned a fridge. But fortunately for us we have generous upstairs neighbors who lent us their fridge downstairs.
Well anyway my sister decided she wanted our old fridge out right away so we had to drag it out to the front which involved a lot of freaking out. Then she made sure no cars were coming and pushed it down the stairs nearly wrecking our garden display.
Anyway our next upstairs neighbors informed us we had to take off the doors so that people wouldn't suffocate. I asked my sister why someone would climb in our fridge. The doors came off after some more freaking out and a hurt thumb.
After only an hour the scrap metals guys came and carted it off like it was a well kept secret of the universe. That was funny because our upstairs neighbor predicted they'd come and take the fridge before nightfall.

Fun Thunderstorms

Today Me, my cousins all had fun gallavanting around town with our umbrellas as it downpoured and thundered. Afterward there was a really pretty rainbow and a slightly faded one ontop of that. There were blues sky's behind us and gray storm clouds ahead. I took this as a sign. The creeks overflooded so a walk through the park was out of the question but we stood on the bridge above the creek and watched the water rush by.

I took some great pictures of my cousins but for secrecy reasons I will not show them here online.

Our walk around town gave us some information about city people. they rarely go outside and enjoy the beauty that is gods rainfall. I'm sure we looked kinda odd running around but, we were the ones having fun!

A Hit and Run

The day had only just begun, when we got a knock at the door and our upstairs neighbor told us that a black car had hit our brothers car and tour up the side. We took a look and sure enough our brothers car was really trashed up. The back headlight was totally missing. We were really freaked out when three nice people stopped and gave us information on the girl, including the type of car and the last four digits of the lisence plate.
I wrote down all the information and we called the police. When they came we gave them all the information and then the police guy gave chase because our neighbor said the girl had also busted the front of her car, which meant she probably didn't get far. We were right because the nice people who helped us came back a while later and said they got her. For a while we saw a lot of police coming and going down our streets.
Then a silver car came up and a guy came out and gave us his card for an auto body shop he works for which specializes in wreck repairs. He said he would be able to work it out so that my brother didn't have to pay for the damage fixing.
Then the police came back and got the rest of the information. Even though my poor brothers car was messed up, with all the nice people that BH where put around us the matter is getting cleared up quite well. My upstairs neighbor said that my brother must have a lot of angels watching around him. I think he's right.
It's at times like this that I realize their are really alot of good people in Philadelphia.

Disappointment

Hi,
So last week, after being trapped in a house where the same movie was watched over in sucession and little girls blasted my ears out with Jonas brothers music I was ready for a break.
Unfortunately the bookstore My aunt,cousin, and I went to was just as annoying as my week. They didn't have what I was looking for so I'll have to get it off line. But I did manage to buy one book (it was a mystery) and my cousin spent time trying to decide on a wig set or a stationary set. I was buying for her (aren't i nice). I thought i might look for something new to read, something out of the mystery genre, so i checked the teen section. But i didn't find anything interesting, except a bunch of highly girly books about things I didn't care about or didn't relate to(Like school cliques, i've never been in a public school and i've never had problem with cliques) I found nothing of real quality. Which makes me realize the stunning lack of good teen literature out there.
Regardless to say because I couldn't find anything I felt still a little depressed, but hopefully if It rains (^_^) I'll be able to snap out of it.

Cousins, Homecomings and Other Such Drivel

I always hope I can think of something interesting to write about so no one gets bored, but ideas fail me.
Right now counting the two days she has been here my cousin has watched Nancy Drew 5 times. It's her first time today, and she'll probably watch it again later. Where was she when this movies was in theaters!? She coulda really boosted the box office income.
She probably would have watched Hairspray alot as well but we lost the DVD. Suprisingly enough, all those times I thought she wasn't paying attention to Nancy Drew, she was, and she still remembered important facts from the beginning and was playing detective along with Nancy. I thought that was kinda cool. When I was little I had the hardest time solving myseries so I would just wait until the end to find out whodunit. But now I am proud to say I can solve a good amount of mysteries that I watch and read before they're over.
My friend came home from camp yesterday. She came to my house before going home and nearly flew through the front door when I opened it. I never knew she liked our house so much. So she told me to tell her all that was going on, and besides an engagment not much had happened that would interest her so the conversation was short.
Gah! my oatmeals boiling over...hold on...saved it...
You probably think it's weird to eat hot oatmeal in this hot enough summer weather. Well it is, but the a/c is on and all the eggs were used up in last night dinner.
Well, I've run outta things to talk about so if your still reading...BYE!

Yeah!

Guess what!? Yup, it rained. I was soooo happy yesterday because we had a nice downpour. There was even thunder and lightning, which rarely happens here. I use to live in the country where there were really big loud storms. When you move to the city this rarely happens.

Another Yeah! is that I went with my mommy to help her friend pick out a wedding dress for herself. We found a really pretty one, just on the first try. She also tried on others but they were not as elegent as the first.

Today I am going out for a day of fun with my sister. I'm really looking forward to it, because we don't have so much time to spend together because she's so busy.

Gray Sky's

Today the sky's are gray, which is hopefully a promise of rain still to come. It always seems to rain right after I water my avocado plant. I don't mind though because avocado's need a lot of rain to help them grow. Now I'm not an expert on raising avocado's, and it's just through the kindess of god that my plant is doing so well, but I have picked up a few good tricks.
Clouds are slowly rolling in above us. I'm really excited for the rain. As you've probably noticed I'm severly craving it. But I probably should stop boring you with my rain obsessions. ^_^
