Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

Attention readers, I have an announcement (s):

1. Bentley has been on the war path. He's a regular Geronimo; only missing the war paint and feathers. But luckily, I am a greedy American here to claim my territory! Bentley will no longer be marking my room/furniture/clothes because I have the secret weapon: the doggie gate. This will assure me an instant victory!

2. I will be rekindling with howdy, cowboy land! I have official dates for my Texas visit: April 29th-May 10th! Someone (me, me!) is really excited. And that same someone (me, me!) has been dancing and grinning like a Cheshire Cat all afternoon. And eating bunny sweet tarts (thanks to the Happy-Easter package from my mommy). Anyways, I will have 12 splendid days to spend in the sweet, sweet land of Dallas, Texas.

3. According to Ben I am a chronic student. And maybe he's right. I am planning on enrolling in community college this summer and taking a couple of basic courses. I am contemplating going back to undergrad for my BS degree. I am strongly considering getting a degree in engineering. I gotta follow in my daddy's footsteps! Keep with the family business! Make the folks proud of me!

4. Within the week I will have my very own internet! For the entirety of the time I've been in Portland we have been borrowing the connection from our oblivious neighbor, Alligator. But, Alligator has submerged. Caught a prey and taken it down to the bottom of the lake and leaving me internet-less. I've been a frequent visitor at the different coffee shops around the NE. I pay a dollar for a cup of coffee and in return use their internet for four hours. Fair deal?! Definitely...except I did get a couple of mean looks when I watched Gossip Girl online :/ In any case, as soon as I can talk Comcast out of a $100 installation fee, I will finally be a proud owner of my own internet. Hopefully it sparkles.

5. Tonight is $5.00 unlimited play at Ground Kontrol. Pinball, you're going down! Get those flippers ready for me!
