So Monday, that makes it just shy of 1 week at Ryans by a matter of hours. Wowzers lol. Before I wrap everything up lets talk about Monday. Hes getting sick so wasnt feeling well enough to go into work in the morning. But we got up around 11 I think and had toast lol. He played a little Splinter Cell, the new one which I hadnt seen yet and it was pretty cool, good graphics. We spent quite a bit of time wrestling around and trying to tickle eachother, hes bigger than me so he won most of the time but I can get him some times lol. Around 3 we left and he took me into Cove to pick up my bike from my old neighbors house and then took me home. The door was locked and no one was home when I got there and Ryan had to get his step dads vehicle back so he couldnt wait with me.. So I sat in front and played Pokemon for quite a while, like around a half hour. Some little neighbor boy came by and talked to me for a little bit, asked me a million and a half questions lol. And then they finally let me in. Monster was pretty happy to see me, he helped me unpack, and then I took a shower. After that I made a salad and had some cereal.. I talked to Shy on the phone for a little bit, I miss her and she says she misses me and already wants to come back. Now Im laying on the floor upstairs wondering what Im going to do after this to pass some time... Phones dead, and my chargers gone until further notice.. Ryan said hed bring me one, hes so good to me..

Ok so wrap up time. I spent a whole week at Ryans house, but it didnt really seem like a week. We didnt do a whole lot. Played with his nephew Blake quite a bit lol he calls me Pah (like making the p noise) I have no idea why! Ryan says together we are like a spitoon cause Blake calls him Ding lol its not exaclty ding, u can tell hes really trying for Ryan so its P'ding lol. Watched quite a bit of Spongebob, and just TV in general, and a few movies. Took my exam on Enhancing childrens self esteem, got a 70. We went for a walk one night and it was really nice, we got candy and pop and talked but his poor hip was hurting him and made me feel real bad for wanting to go for a walk. I spent a heck of a lot more time around his family, they still make me nervous but less nervous now lol. I can actually walk thru parts of his house without him and not feel too terribly wrong and I can have a conversation with his sister lol. I didnt feel too well for a few of the days which sucked and he wasnt feeling too hot either and Blakes sick so now Ryans getting sick. We did a lot of talking, which is expected, but Im always afraid of fucking things up by saying the wrong thing.. I guess as long as everything I say is the truth than I cant be too afraid. A lot of tickling happened, A LOT! He tends to like to torture me lol. His family has to think he like beats me or something cause Im sure they can hear me screaming no, please, stop, and sorry lol but I got him good a few times myself :) If I work hard enough I can get his arms pinned down, but never for very long cause hes too strong. I got to do a lot of one thing thats really become one of my favorite things to do and thats listen to him sing.
So thru all the video games, TV, playing around, talking, cuddling, and kissing I had a pretty great week and I wouldnt have choosen to spend it any differently. I already miss him. He said I could have stayed longer but the last thing I want to do is wear out my welcome. I feel pretty welcome there and I dont want that to change.
So yeah, that was basically my week plus all the other random things I remembered that are actually on their right days and all the things I may have forgotten. Sorry this is all gonna get uploaded together, out of interent again :/

Sticky note. You cant see the 1 and I apologize for that lol but I liked the picture so use your imagination, it is there. I see longhorns along side the road a lot, whats not to like about cows with horns? lol One day I will work up the nerve to go knock on a rachers door, or better yet ring there little buzzer at the outside of their gate, and ask them if I can take some pictures. I wouldnt want to take pictures without permission, not in Texas lol.

For this project I had to choose what my earliest memory was and create a book from that.
The memory I chose was from when I was about 7 and was camping in Cornwall. There were lots of wasps everywhere and one morning I was eating honey loops and found a wasp in my cereal. Because I was young I convinced myself that the wasp came from the packet and honey loops and hadnt flown in from the sky. Since then I have not been able to eat honey loops and still cant.
From this I started to look at childrens vast imaginations and how they are so niave.
This led me onto lies that parents tell their children. For example when i was younger my dad told me that when the ice cream van plays music it means that the van has ran out of ice cream. Another one he told me was that if I ran fast enough I could dodge the rain.
I have designed a colouring book in which are il- lustrations to go with lies that I have heard being told to children. These are:
If you eat and apple pip a tree will grow inside your tummy. If you pick your nose it will push your eyebrow hair out.
If you suck your tumb it will make it shrink. When the ice cream man plays his music he has ran out. Dogs with short legs have been on more walks. If you run fast enough you can dodge the rain. Your teddies get lonely if you leave them beside your bed. Batteries are powered by tiny mice on bikes inside them. Rain is Jesus’ wee. The easter bunny delivers your easter eggs.
The book is french folded and perferated down the middle. The idea is that the child would colour the book in. However if the child should want to find out the truth behind the lie they could rip down the middle of the page and expose the truth underneath on the remaining spread. Once the truth has been found there is no going back. The bit of the book which has been ripped out has the lie on it and ca be kept as a memory. One the pages have all been ripped and the truth is being shown for all lies then the front and back cover rips off leaving the title
of the book ‘If you don’t eat your crusts you’ll get curly hair” to say “Eat your crusts” which is really what the parents are trying to say when using that lie. It’s a book of truth.
