"Save the cheerleader, save the world."

Hey.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Things have been busy this week with friends being home on spring break and last week was chemo so I didn't feel like posting. But I'm getting to it now. =)

This happened near the end of February, on one of the snow days. Greg and I decided that the snow was just right for building snowmen and ventured out into the yard.










This first picture (on the left) is Greg and I beginning the construction of our snowmen. Mine is more of a small pile of snow while Greg's is already a decent sized base. Well, we continued building for a good part of the afternoon and this is what we came up with... The picture to the right is of my snowman David(pronounced: da-VEED). I decided not to go traditional-style in my snowman building, as you can tell. =D He didn't really have man-parts, by the way- just leaves. =P It was really funny when he started to melt because he kept leaning really far forward until he toppled over. The picture to the lower left is of Greg's snowman. I thought it turned out pretty cute.

I really don't know what all to write about concerning what I've been doing since I last posted. I was at state wrestling, which was fun. I've been reading quite a bit again: "Yay" for Diana Wynne Jones. And then last weekend Mom and I went and picked up a five-month old puppy from the humane shelter in Red Wing.

This is Claire. She got named after the cheerleader from the NBC television series "Heroes": "Save the cheerleader, save the world." It's actually kind-of appropriate since the character was adopted and we adopted the puppy. Claire is about the mellowest puppy you'll ever meet. She loves everyone and is quite fond of snuggling with people to take naps. She's the first inside dog I've ever had, so it's been lots of fun. She potty-trained really easy: she's smart like that. Oh, Claire is a border collie lab mix.


I guess that's about it. I'm on the full chemo treatment again. I hate it. Luckily the cold sensitivity isn't too bad yet and I haven't been vomitting.

Oh, you may have noticed that on the sidebar to the right there is a little icon that says "Map" on it. I thought it'd be neat to see how many people read my blog and where they're located. So if you feel like it, click on the icon and take a look at the map. A little bubble popped up for me asking if I was in Rochester, which is pretty much where I am, but I changed it to Eyota and filled out the the required spaces (name, email- optional to post a message). You don't have to enter in your real name. If you wish to remain anonymous, just put "Blog Reader" down as your name. You also don't have to enter a real email address. I tried out just putting down something random with "@" and ".com" in it and the site accepted it. If you put down your email address you automatically become a member of Frappr and get a goofy password assigned to you. So to avoid that, I would advise filling the email space with a made-up email address.

Okay. That's all the news I had.
