Yay! It's great to have you back. 
Right now the rest of my family is playing Rook - a card game that I do not play, and that they get all worked up about. It's a good time to be elsewhere! 
I LOVE Rook! My granny has played from way back, and she can be pretty brutal when we play. 
Anyway, school starts tomorrow, and I'm super excited. 
Well, my dad, my sister, and my brother play Rook. They usually have to play with a dummy hand because my mom and I refuse to play with them.Laura Ingalls wrote:Your family plays Rook?!
I would love to see them play against your granny, though! 
My great-grandma used to be great to play Skip-bo with, or to watch play. She would never play a card that might help anybody else, and then she would get these runs where she would go through several hands of cards and then beat us all. Good times! 
I'm in that Allie/David stage of things at the end of season one anyway, for anybody else who watches the show, so that stuff just makes my heart hurt anyway. 
Good 'ol Sue Thomas; me and my mom watch that together sometimes. It's charming (though admittedly, I dislike the Allie side of things more than I dislike David.)
My Grandma and Grandpa are really good at Rook. They always beat me. I guess I have just have to keep trying.Catspaw wrote:Well, my dad, my sister, and my brother play Rook.

Yeah, I dislike Allie more too...except David is more likeable in some ways, which makes me want to like him less.Shennifer wrote:*comforts our beloved admin* it's okay, Catspaw; have a creampuff
in other news, there's a fire raging near where I live, and some families I know have evacuated. We may or may not be next; it seems be going farther away though, so I don't know.
Neither of them are terrible people - they just need to go date each other (or other random strangers) instead of hanging around our two beloved characters. That sounds scary. 
Funner, more fun - same thing, right?Shennifer wrote:More fun, Marvin. Not funner
Well, thank you for all of the prayers you all have said for me concerning my driving. I really appreciate it.
That's so great to hear! Was it a pretty difficult test, or did you breeze through it like the 'pro driver that you are? That's awesome!Sapphire wrote:Today, I got my...driver's license! I am so happy! I was very nervous during the driving test, but I prayed almost the entire time, and I felt at peace even though I was nervous. I passed! I so happy! Wait. I said that already.
Was it hard? I need to take my driving test soon. I'll probably get so nervous that I'll flunk. second time I did despite the increase in nerves (had the same person too)orangie wrote: That's awesome!
It wasn't a difficult test, but my nerves got to me in the beginning. I was too hesitant or didn't stop long enough, however as I became less nervous, I did better. It's fine to be nervous during your driving test, but don't let your nerves get to you. You don't even have to go on the highway (in my state at least).Musical Shutterbug wrote:Congratulations, Sapphire!
I was sooo nervous during my test...it's always good for it to be over, isn't it? 
I took my driving test with my school and that was really easy. The written test is also a breeze as long as you study a little bit your good to go.orangie wrote:That's awesome!Sapphire wrote:Today, I got my...driver's license! I am so happy!
