Thank Goodness THAT'S over! Wow, did I have one of the worst weeks EVER! And yes, i am going to tell you all about it!

Though first I want to tell everyone that I have given a Bubbles's Choice Award to Starchaser's Home, A website chocked full of information to help you start star gazing, not to mention recipees, reading lists and all kinds of fun! Take a look at it!

To start with, we had the stupid Valentine’s Day dance at school, and they made me dance with girls - lots and lots of them. Giggly, squiggly girls who batted their eyes and tried to act sweet! bah! I understand how Booy feels for once! he is always complaining about being forced to dance at these functions, and normally i dance a few turns voluntarily and am left alone, so I always thought Booy was exaggerating, but I assure you he is not. It is quite a terrible, horrible thing t be forced to do! Though one thing, the food wasn’t half bad at least.

After the dance we all came home and were subjected to a party here as well. Though this one didn’t even have the food going for it, as Booy and Andy refused to help cook it left just Natasha and she burned almost everything because she was doing too many things at once. I did offer to lend her a hand, but by that time there was smoke rolling out the door to the kitchen and she shouted something to the effect of needing help and hour ago, and then a spatula narrowly missed my head, so I left her to her own devices.

Anyway, the party. We played a bunch of games, but they ruined them by making them all valentines themed, like pin the wings on cupid, for example and what not. I will say the decorations looked fantastic, if I do say so myself. I think that might be because they came to me two days before and asked me to help them with decorating, and using my superior piggy intellect and my keen eye I managed to whip the place into shape, despite the fact that The-Short-One hasn’t cleaned lately!

So, picture this, if you can. A bunch of teddies being forced to participate in pink flowery games when all of a sudden WHOOSH! the red and pink crepe paper I worked so hard to hang goes up in flames - caused by a certain monkey named Bob who knocked over candles! Needless to say there were shrieks, screams and panic in the streets. Luckily I am a quick thinking piggy and I used the veggie sprayer attached to the kitchen sink to put the fire out. Of course this filled the house with smoke and pretty much put an end to the party and to my beautiful decorations >sigh<.

From there the rest of the week was just as bad. We put out a bunch of things to air out from being filled with smoke and it rained on them. Then we had to haul in piles of wet stuff and heap it all in the bathtub in hopes it would dry, which would have worked if the-Short-One bothered to look before turning on the shower. That wouldn’t have been so traumatic, but Panda and Roary were in the tub sorting through things and they swear they were nearly drowned before she found them tangled in amongst all the junk!

After the exciting near drowning episode on Friday we had the near crushing incident. Several of us were outside working out some secret things for our Baseball tem this year when a large tree branch that looked firmly attached, but obviously wasn't, came loose and nearly squashed us all! it was only my quick thinking and my grabbing everyone and leaping out of the way that saved us from certain death! From there on things have continued in the same vein of horrible events - burned apple pie, I found a worm in my sock drawer, that kind of thing. Luckily, the last couple of days nothing terrifying has happened so I am thinking perhaps we are over our streak of bad luck - finally. Though The-Short-One has a doctors appointment tomorrow, so maybe she has the bad luck now?

Other than that things have been quiet around here. the aliens are even behaving themselves, which has me somewhat concerned as to what they are plotting. It must be a major offensive if they are trying this hard to behave before it!

And with that warning I shall go! remember, we can all help save the earth by keeping an eye on these aliens masquerading as cats!

Till next Time,
O
