Can't Sleep

He, its 5 0'clock of the A.M. I Don't know what it is, but I just cannot get back to sleep. I've been trying for what seems like hours. I had a glass of milk and drank it out in the livingroom. Of course, Squeaks wanted some. So, I sent him back to is basket and came back in here. He comes running in, jumps up on my face, and begins frantically purring and rubbing his face all over mine. It was cute, but I didn't want him staying in here because of his fleas. It seems almost usless to try and cure them, because they keep jumping back from one animal to the other! But, anyways, I put him back out in his basket and came back in, with the closed door behind me. After about 10 minutes, he somehow managed to turn the knob and come in here! I mean, he's not that big, so it's beyond me how he did it. The same cycle happend again. Now I am a little frustrated because I can't get back to sleep. I was hoping this might help me go back to sleep, but I'm still wide awake. I've tried everything! I've even counted sheep...Yea, it's actually come to that lol. Um, and now I hear Philip talking to himself. :-/ Hehe. I'm jealous because Audrey is in her bed and sleeping and peaceful! Oh well, it's time for me to try again. =]

Out With The Family!

Today was a good day!! Me and the fam spent the whole day together. It was really nice. Although, there were those moments when the atmospher got heated, I was glad to spend some "Q-time" with my beloved kin.

First we went to the mall to return some Christmas presents. Me and Audrey split up to find an outfit in exchange. That didn't happen! We ended up getting Crazy Horse wallets. We just absolutly needed them, but Audrey needed one the worst. All of her money was kept in a paper folder in her purse. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw that! LOL Luv ya Aud!! So then we went to Sears and began looking at these really cute blouses, but then Mom called the cell and said we would meet at JCPenny's in 5 minutes, so we couldn't get them. Just as we were about to walk out the doors of the store, Mom says, "David, it's Jeff!" Sure enough, Jeff and Janet Reed were there. What a surprise!! We talked to them for awhile. "We'd just seen the Kozy's come through here, too!" they told us. Then Liz and Aaron Wilkinson walk in. What is this a Brown Street reunion? LOL.

Afterwards, we headed over to Regal cinema. We used the $10, un-expirable gift cards that were given to us 2 years ago for Christmas! We saw Narnia. Wow, that was such a good movie. I started crying 5 minutes into the movie. Me and Audrey shared a medium popcorn and coke. We said, "Do not eat anything until the movie starts." This was hard to do, because there is nothing like real theatre popcorn. What made it even worse was I had it on my lap and I was inhaling all of that butter. Audrey told me to think about the starving chilren all over the world, which made my lust and impacience for that popcorn seem petty and greedy. But as I was saying, that movie was so good!! It was cool to make all of these connections from the movie with the Bible. Especially when the lion said, "It is finished!" I looked over at Audrey with this like "Sweet!" expression on my face. She told me she thought it was kind of corny, but then I said people who know why he said that might think that, but other people would think it's so awesome! LOL, maybe I'm a little too dramatic. I don't want to give away too much incase you plan on seeing it, but at the end, Aslan (the lion) disappears and Mr. Tumnus tells the little girl that he'll be coming back soon, though they don't know when. :-D Everytime the little 9 year old girl cried, I did too. She was so adorable. The middle boy was a little brat, not implying in any way that middle children are brats! ;-) Why would I do that to myself? LOL

Afterwards we went to Olive Garden for dinner..sort of. Again, we used gift cards sent to us for Christmas. When we got there they said it would be a 75-80 minute wait.............

Yea, this is one of those times when I said we were just alittle mad. A bit of an understatment. Dad and Mom insisted we still eat there, so we headed over to Target until it was our time. I bought make-up and we got Tippy and new bed since she literally ate her other one. Finally after a long time of anger, I realized that I need to straighten up and get over myself! I apologized and we were seated pretty fast after re-arriving. I got pizza, since it was cheap and good! It was a very good meal. Unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks "rock the socks right offa my feet!" lol ;) We didn't begin eating until about 8:30!! So, I was pretty hungry!

All-in-all, I had a very good day. I'm so much more appreciative of my family. My parents, even considering the circumstances, still try and allow us to go out and have a good time =] I love them so much!

FYI

I have re-done my profile. Check it out! 8-)

Christmas

I don't know about you, but I had a very merry Christmas. I love seeing the family!

So, on Christmas Eve we went to Grandma and Grandpas. Aunt Susie and Uncle Sean came up from Columbus, and Uncle Vic and Jordan were there. Aunt Ivonne and the family didn't come because they went to Uncle Joe's family's house. My grandparents friends, Carmen, Camillo, and their son Adrian came too. We ate a reeeeally good meal of ham, Spanish rice, potatoes, and all that other good grub. Afterwards, we just sat around and talked. Of course I got the "So, do you have a boyfriend yet?" many times from Aunt Susie and Grandma. It was nice to talk with eachother!! After presents, Audrey, Uncle Sean, Aunt Susie, Grandpa, and I played ImaginIff... It was a lot of fun, but the sad part was we didn't know a lot about eachother. Like I realized I didn't know much of anything about my aunt or uncle. :'( All I want is to have a good relationship with my aunts and uncles. They either live far away or they have their own busy lives and schedules. I sometimes look at other families and wish that I could be that close with my own extended family. But that is why I am so thankful for holidays, we can be together!!

Sunday morning we woke up at 7:30 and opened presents. My favorite present was the new perfume I got: Adias Moves for Woman. Wow, it smells really good! Then, Dad, Audrey, and I practiced the song we'd be singing. I got dressed and then we went to church. There was no Sunday School because of the Christmas Musicale. I liked having Christmas on Sunday. I don't know why, but I just made it seem extra special. I was more aware than usual of the real meaning. Pastors had several breif sermons inbetween each section of music that all really caught my interest. Towards the end, it was time for us to sing. I thought I would be too nervous to make a sound, but I felt surprisingly calm. I never want to hear prayer doesn't work because I knooow it does, or else I'd have been a nervouse shaking mess up there!! :)

We came home and straightened up the house fo Dad's family to come over. We ate around 5:00, which was absolutly delicious! Mom is an awesome cook. We sat at the card table (Audrey, Philip, and I) with our little cousin Holly. She is so cute. All she ever says is "MMHMM". :-D. I love listening to the conversations Uncle Jeff, Dad, and Uncle John can start. My favorite ever is the one about how Uncle John and Don held uncle Jeff over a highway bridge by his ankles. Is it true, who knows, but it sure is funny. I love Uncle Jeff's toolbox stories, too. We talked with eachother and had a great time.

As I said, I love Christmas and Thanksgiving because it allows us to take a break from our busy lives and just be together as a family.

Merry Christmas

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas to you and yours. Remember what this holiday is truely about : Jesus and how he came to this earth as a baby to save the entire world. It's His birthday! Give Him yourself and your life as a gift. That's all He wants. Use today and this season as a time of fellowship and togetherness with your family. Put away all the petty differences and arguements you might have and just appreciate your family. I do :0)

Quick Little Blurp

Here is a picture of my favorite little toy. Sorry it's kind of small and blurry. It's a Shelcore Musical Radio. Somebody got it for me when I was a little baby (I think Uncle Jeff) Anyways, Dad just found it and it still works. If you can see, the red knob is the on and off switch and the blue one is the crank. It plays "Lullaby and Goodnight". The little dog's eyes move from side to side. Aww, it is soo cool. Why did I post this? I don't know! :)

Couldn't think of a good title

I Y SuperGrover! :0)

Sorry everbody that I haven't been keeping up with my daily posts. I do try, I really do. Nothing awesome or worth saying has happend lately.

Well, I went Christmas shopping. I can't tell you what I bought though because then people will knwo what I got them!

On .... Saturday of last week, Mom took me and Audrey shopping for Christms blouses. I got a deep green sweater. I hope I looks good :) Mom, Dad, and Audrey are going shopping and I get to babysit Philip! I'll make him shells and cheddar for lunch, since he loves it so. *evil grin* lol.

Sunday is Christmas, and the Musicale. Dad, Audrey, and I are singing. I think that I am singing a solo. Audrey, too. Wow, I am so nervous. We've yet to even practice the song together. Dad just picked up the cd from James yesterday. I really wish we had Sunday School on Sunday. Then I could get the nerves out!! I'm really nervous. But, it is my Chrismas present to Jesus and I need to stop worrying! Right? :)

Well, thats all. Comment if you'd like

Secular...IDK!

Yesterday, Audrey and I were talking about our past as little kids. Somehow, the topic of music came up. Brittant Spears (in her early, modest days) Christina Aguilera, N*Sync, Hanson, and the Backstreet Boys came up. That's when all of that popishy, bubble gum music was big. We talked about our favorite group: S Club 7. They were a bunch of British people with 4 girls and 3 guys. I still remember almost all of the lyrics to their songs. They even had their own tv show on the then Fox Family. Yea, that made them ever cooler. Anyways, we found the old cd and poped it into the cd player. #3 is my favorite. It's been in my head all day! The chords are awesome. It's called "Where I Want To Be". It's some love song...

But listening to it, the lyrics can apply to the Christian life!

"I'll keep waiting 'til that day when you come back on home to me. Life's too short to live without you. Where you are is where I want to be"

I mean, I know I'm waiting for that day when Jesus will come out of Heaven and into the clouds to take me up to Heaven. We never know when our lives will end and so we need to trust in the Lord as our Savior. And where Jesus is, Heaven, that's where I want to be, too!

Also, I realize people listen to Christian artists, like Relient K, Switchfoot, and a bunch of others and think of the lyrics as secualr. And in some sense they are. They attract listeners because both bands rock! Like Relient K's music video Be My Escape shows like a bazillion shots of some girl looking sad and stuff in picture frames. And the one for Who I Am Hates Who I've Been shows some girl walkng down the street. Even the titles of the songs will make Christians know that the song is about God. Maybe they do it to draw in their fans to their concerts to then hear the gospel. IDK, I've never been to these people's concerts before. I mean, I don't think this is terribly bad or anything, just interesting.

You guys can comment on your input. It'd be appreciated!! :0)

Are You For Real?

Just to let you all know, I've updated my Xanga. Don't expect this to be an annual reacurance, though. I just did it to make a certain little lady happy! lol Beckie ;-) btw, the address is www.xanga.com/brunette210blr

Enjoy!

Be Happy!

Hope that you all have an awesome day, like this little guy. :)

:0)

Wow guys, nothing much has happend! But I feel like I need to type, I just have to!

Thursday was the CHRISTMAS concert, not Winter! The one we did in the morning didn't go as well as the one at night. Especially because I knocked my cello over...twice. Everybody saw. So embaressing. And then after school was the guys vs. girls basketball game. I scored 5 points and totally airballed on of my technical foul shots! That was embaressing too! Well, they beat us in overtime 48-40. The ref was making calls in our favor, though. It was fun. They we had to banquet with pizza, pop, pizza, cake, mints, and oh, pizza. There was a lot of pizza. I had to leave a little early though to get ready for the evening concert. That was really nice. I got to stand next to Audrey in Madrigals. My whole family came, plus Vicki, Bobby, Kristen, and Kristen Adams! Yeah! Thanks guys. :-D

Yesterday was the last day of school. WOO! It was so much fun! Yes, I said school was fun. First period we watched to Polar Express. I love that movie! Hot, Hot, Hot, Hotchocolate! OOO, we got it! The conductor guy was like moon walking down the train, along with the waiters were like River Dancing. LOL, so anyways, 2nd period wasn't fun, because Mr. Wentzel actually made us work! Can you believe that? Lunch/ recess was good. I got some taco salad casserole kinda stuff. 8th period was the dance. Usually, I don't go to dances because it should actually be called a Standaround and Talk to People. I was Charlie's body guard against guys that were picking on him. (and if you know Charlie, you know that he is a humongous guy, but still needed me ;-D) I just hung around and talked with...like everybody: Tylesha, Hayley, Becca, Kayla [let's bounce...lol] Lydia, Mona, and other people. I only did the electric slide and the Casper Slide, or whatever it's called. After the "dance", if we call it that... we had to report back to 1st period (in my case, choir). I talked to the other altos before receiving a concert by Stephanie and Libby. Stephanie sang us Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, and Libby sang the Hippo Song, complete with COMOTIONS! Then I went home.

Today, in like one hour, we are leaving for the Sunday School program practice. Then me and Audrey have to thouroughly clean our room (wish us luck!!!!) and then maybe go to get a blouse for Christmas.

comment me!! love ya!

The Perfect Christmas

Here is the paragraph I had to write for language arts class. It is entitled The Perfect Christmas. First we had to make an acrostic and transfer the select lines into sentences for our paragraph. Enjoy!

The Christmas season is one of my favorite times of the year. As we drive down the streets and avenues, I love to look into people’s houses to see the tree lights glowing beautifully within. The outsides are all decorated to pure perfection with icicle lights and radiant reindeer statues. Everyone is happy, with the exception of Ebenezer Scrooge. The entire family rests at home, waiting for anticipated morning to arrive. Nativity scenes are displayed proudly by Christians. One of my favorite activities is just decorating the house with villages, snowmen, and angels. Christmas morning is magnificent at my house. When I wake up, the first thing I see are lots of pretty gift wrapped presents awaiting the time to be ripped open. Eggnog and the special Christmas casserole are consumed for breakfast. The scent and warmth of the fireplace fill the entire atmosphere. When it comes time for the family, we feast out on a wonderful selection of homemade food, my favorite being the lumpy mashed potatoes prepared by my mother. Afterward, the leftovers are enough to fill us for weeks on after. Best of all, our family is united. We hardly ever see each other and fellowship together outside of holidays and special occasions. At church I love how Christ is recognized as the “reason for the season”. I believe people forget what Christmas is based on: Jesus’ birth many years ago, who came to save the world of their sins. I also love to sing “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear”, and “Angels We Have Heard On High”, because of the beautiful harmonization. One of my most ambitious moments would be to see the Nutcracker ballet performed.
It looks as if I have the perfect Christmas already!

~Elizabeth Hembree

Yippee!

Yeah! 7-0 we won the game against Goodrich. One more to go, it will determine if we are City Champs or not. Perkins, who we are playing tomorrow (as far as I know) are undefeated as well.

Squeaks just got back from Sigler Animal Hosptial. He was, uh.. he had surgery. Poor little guy, he's still alittle messed up from the anestesia. He was shaking in my arms on the way home. Aww!

Today was also try-outs for the Ellet High School musical (this year Grease). I didn't go #1:I had a game #2: It's a big commitment because there are so many practices #3. I am really shy singing infront of others, let alone a big auditoium. It's not that I doubt myself because I know my voice isn't horrible, but I just get really scared and I begin to convulse! Ok, that's a little too dramatic, but honestly I begin to shake. Dad, Audrey, and I are singing for the Christmas program on Sunday. We put in some sweet harmonization. And I get to ring those bells in this one song. I feel goofy, but it will make the play all the better to have the little sleigh bell accompniment!!!

I can't wait until tomorrow. I get to dress up all pretty. Audrey's concert is tomorrow, too. And on Thursday I think, or possibly Friday, is the entire 8th grade student body photo.

Here's a joke for ya!

After having fraternal twins, the mother went to sleep and didn't wake up for 2 days. When she awoke, the nurse said she had two healthy babies, one a girl and one a boy. She asked if her husband had named the children.
"No", replied the nurse, "your brother insisted on naming the children and your husban agreed."
"Oh...," said the mother. She was alittle worried. After a breif moment of silence, the mother asked, "What did he name the children?"
"Well, your daughter is named Denise". The mother felt relieved.
"Phew, atleast that's a normal name! And the boy?"
"Your brother named him De-nephew"

Haha, that's an old one and I told it to my family at dinner. Only Philip laughed.

Told ya!

See, changed it already, and I bet you didn't even see what it looked like before :)

Change

I re-did my template. I don't like it at all, but it will do for the time being. I changed it because everybody had the same background!

We got our Family pictures today. We set up the digital camera on a tri-pod and took the pictures in the living room infront of the tree! They turned out good, I think. We don't really match, but it's ok!!

I really hope I can make it to YG on Wednesday. That is the same day as the basketball banquet and boys vs. girls game. This week is kinda busy. Tomorrow is a game at Goodrich, Tuesday game against Perkins and Audrey's concert, Wednesday banquet, Thursday is my concert, and Saturday is the practice, and Sunday is the Christmas play at church! Whew, I need to get a blouse to wear because I have nothing Christmas-y!!

Well, my fingers are getting numb and it's hard to type, and i need to take a shower and read Tom Sawyer. LOVE EVERYONE! Please leave me a random comment in the comment box or the chatterbox. Like I said, I love hearing from you guys!!

<3ya! :0)

Random Picture Time

As of right now, Saturday, December 10, 2005, 12:05 P.M., I have nothing to post about. So, I will post some random pictures. Here thery are!


Grandma Kay on her b-day -- Tippy

Grandma Iris on Thanksgiving -- Squeaks


Me reading for school (and lookin' happy, eh?) -- Philip and Audrey before his school program

Another Squeaks -- and me looking like a fool!!

Hello Again

Again, today was a usual, regular ol' day. Nothing out the ordinary. I won't bore you with the never-changing details. Although I will say - I got an A+ and a B on my Spanish quiz! :) And we won our game against the undefeated Jennings team 30-20. 6-0!

It's venting time.

Evolution. A topic that may make you cringe. I absolutly hate learning about that evolution crap. In science class we watch so many movies on "The Origins of Life". How can anyone every believe that nonsense! Of course, I've grown up my whole life knowing that IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, so I have just always known better. But the movies are even somewhat humorous. Example: A couple weeks ago we watched a movie my teacher downloading off the internet all about our ancient relatives. They had this guy dressed up as, what looked like,Big Foot running around NYC acting like, well, an animal! And I find it very offensive when people tell me I used to look like a monkey.

It's sad to sit in class watching these movies, and seeing all of my classmates watching it and believing it! And there's not really anything I can do about it.

People are curious and need hard proof to believe anything. I mean, if a scientist has a hypothesis for how we ever came into exsistence, he always has "hard evidence" to back it up. Well, I have hard evidence for ya -- READ THE BIBLE, BUDDY!

According to Prentic Hall, McMillian McGraw Hill, and all those other school textbooks, Earth used to look like Venus. I mean, they were created out of the same nova! :-\ Hot. Lots of lava. Fire. Volcanos. No life. Then out of nowhere, a meteor struck the planet bringing bacteria which eventually mutated into humans. (Oh, and the remnants conjoined to create the moon). These thingys learned how to stand on their two hind legs, control fire, and blah blah blah. And our future is destined to be Mars. Dry. No life. Nada.

Accoring to the Bible, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God, and the Word was with God" (God=Word) God never had any type of beginning. He was always here! Even though it's hard to comprehend, it's true. And By word of mouth, God made everything, from the day and night, the oceans, trees, stars, animals (and the chicken came first, by the way). And on the 6th day, he created God in the image of himself, people! And he made man and woman (better known as Adam and Eve).

Now I know you might be thinking, "I don't believe that, it's too magicy". Well, it's also true! Read Genesis Chapter 1! Lots of good stuff in there. :)

And my final point is: don't believe everything you hear. Some people are just ignorant. Believe God's Word, and you'll be on the right track :)

Arrrrg!

I am angry beyond compare right now. Enfuriated. Enraged. Mad. Why? Oh believe me, I will tell you exactly why. But beware, this will make you grossed out.

This morning has been...frustrating for a lack of a better word. I woke up at 7:32 and went out into the living room. I watched tv for about 10 minutes with my mom and sister. I then decided that I would actually eat breakfast this morning, since I hardly ever do for some reason on Sundays. I went into the kitchen where Dad was. We said our good-mornings and I grabbed a bowl and spoon. I heard Dad tell mom he hadn't taken Tippy outside yet and then he asked me to get him a plate for his toast. I first went to the cuboard above the oven for cereal. My stuff wasn't there. I stepped over to the next cabinet where I knew my much aniticipated Limited Edition Batman Cereal was awating me. That's when it happend. The most discusting thing ever. I stepped in poop. And you know how when you break open the feces by stepping in it, that's when the aroma is released. It smelled horrible and felt utterly discusting. It got on my favorite pajama pants too! It was absolutly the most grossest expirience I have endured in awhile. Well, I shouldn't say that. This has happend before recently. Monday and Tuesday I awoke to dog droppings. Monday morning I woke up and I say Tippy squatting on the carpet. Immediatly I pushed her off onto the hardwood floor. The next morning, I woke up and almost made it into the living room before stepping in another one of Tippy's surprise presents.

It's insane. This dog has issues. Although, I feel somewhat bad for her because she hasn't been taken outside at night right before my parents go to bed. Poor little Tippy can't hold herself in. She has a reputation of some sort for pooping during bad times. Like the Youth Group Summer Sunday at our house. Yuk.

"It's just another day!..."

Today was a good day. Audrey woke me up at 7:45 by switching on the light. I was quite grumpy due to this and I'm sorry family! :) Well anyways, I got dressed and we went to church for the Woman's Prayer Partner brunch. The food was goood, as usual. And Cheryl Blasdel made this cute little angel decorations for each of us. The theme was angels, so Mrs. Kuhns had a quick devotional about the work and presence of angels before the gift exchange. I got my person, who I was totally unware of at the time, a little bear and snowman ornament. I received my gift and was surprised to find out that Merle Handy was my "Gal Pal". I tried to hold back the tears because I know that she is very, very ill and in the hospital. She has been praying for me for an entire year, and her prayers were very evident to me. At times, when I was down I would receive this sudden abundance of peace. I like to think those are the exact times Merle was praying for me. Wow, the power of prayer is so awesome. Please, continue to pray for Mrs. Handy that she will be given the peace she needs as she is going through this suffering. As my dad tells me, she is doing what seems to be much better!

Merle got me a braclet and a Burger King gift card! Thanks :)

So, after we came home from the brunch, we went to Audrey's Madrigal performance at E.J. Thomas Hall. They were having a craft show/shop sale going on and the Ellet Mads were going around from place to place in the building singing Christmas songs. Needless to say, they were goood. It was funny how they put little 5'0'' Audrey on the very top of the steps, and at the very bottom of the steps with the Christmas decorations blocking her face. As always, Audrey looked absolutly beautiful.

We came home and I've been lonely since :'( I need to get a pink t-shirt and a stick of blue lipstick before Monday. The 8th grade basketball team girls have to all wear jeans, pink tees, and have blue lips for "twins day" and the 7th graders have to dress up 70s-ish. Hehe, I'm not too into the lipstick part, but hey, gotta support the school right!

Here's a joke for ya:
If Frosty the Snowman married a vampire, what would they name their child?
--Frostbite.

Haha, funny stuff right there... :-/ LOL.

I am very cold!! I have on a tank top, tshirt, hoodie, shorts, and sweat pants!! Oh, and we have received our first two Christmas cards today!!

Well, I must be going now. Toodleoo!

I'm in a funky mood right now, kinda like this good looking guy. School was asi, asi. Speaking in which, I have a Spanish test tomorrow and I don't know the material too well! SO MUCH VOCABULARY!! I got a 9/10 on my Tom Sawyer quiz! Woo, go me! J/K. And um, we talked about hereditary human features and environmental mutagens and all that good stuff in science today. There was a fight in the middle of the hallway after lunch today. It was like the first fight I've seen all year, I missed all the others. Why can't we all just love eachother and get along? Sheez!

Well, the Lady Hawks are 5-0 now. Whoo! Talk about a tense game yesterday against Litchfeild. First quarter we whooped them 11-2, and then second quarter we got whopped. The Litchfeild coach was sneaky and snuck his best shooter in with the second team so she just kept shooting 3-pointers!! Second half, both teams kept in their 1st squads the whole time. There were 4 seconds left in the game and the score was 41-38 Litchfeild. Dacia got fouled and we called a time-out. Coach Firtha must have a lot of faith in this team because he told them this sneaky little play. So, Dacia shot the foul, bricked it, ran in for the rebound, threw it to Courtney standing at the 3-point line, and she made the shot right at the buzzer. We all went hysterical! So we went into overtime, winning by 4 points. Our next game is against Jennings (another 5-0 team) on Monday @ home!!

Practice went well today. We did the weave, chicken drill, no-dribbling scrimmage, and regular scrimmage. At the beginning of practice, we were all explaining every single detail of the game yesterday to Mr. E. "That's the second best game I've ever heard of!" with his team's game at #1, of course!

How would you do this inequality?: 9-2x>15. I tried it as x=.53 because 9-2x+2x>15+2x so 9>17x and 9/17>17x/17. So 9/17=.53. But 9-2(.53) is not greater(>) than 15!! Grr, stupid two-step inequalities with the alone term before the number x variable. Sorry, that's why I will never be a teacher, I cannot explain things, nor figure out this type of inequality. Now if it was 2x-9>15, I would easily be able to figure it out. Hehe, that was an interesting paragraph, eh?

Well, I still have to study for my Spanish quiz tomorrow and read Tom Sawyer (yuk) so G'Bye. Leave me a comment! :0)
