Above are my Mother’s Day photos. My mom and grandma and I went to church and then Baker’s. Yum! And I have updated the photography page. It’s now like a monthly photo diary, and remember to hover on a picture for an explanation, and click to enlarge. Well, only on the photography page.
Janel’s house Tuesday. Dear lord that was a crazy night. Wow. Much fun though. We watched the first Harry Potter movie, which immediately got me really excited about the third one coming out, and as soon as I got home, I had to start reading the books again. I really have no clue how they’re going to keep making just one movie for each book. The fifth book is over 800 pages.
Last night at Paul and Bryan’s was really fun!!! I got to see Jessica and Andy, who I haven’t seen in forever, and I got most everybody’s address and stuff. Oh yeah, please feel free to e-mail me your address, phone number(s), and birthdate so I can put it in my address book and send you a postcard when I get to Hawai’i.
This morning, I had my 5th lightning encounter. You may or may not already know that I have been almost struck by lightning four times. This morning, I wasn’t really almost struck, so now I’m calling them “lightning encounters.” Or, in other words, encounters of the electrical kind. I was sitting in my living room in the chair close to the window (which is MY chair), enjoying the thunder and reading, and all of a sudden there’s a very bright flash, I hear some kind of a pop or a snap somewhere in my house, and then my toes started tingling very strongly. It just lasted for an instant, but I immediately realized that electricity was exiting my body through my toes. Also I was kind of disoriented for a minute. It’s very weird to describe what that feels like if you haven’t experienced it. The lightning shivers, what I call them, has happened to me several times, usually when I’m outside and there’s lightning about half a mile away or closer. It’s very much like that little crackly feeling you get when you’re standing right next to a TV when it’s turned on or off but much stronger, but then again, that just might be me as well. What can I say? I have an electric personality. 😀
Sorry… anyway this is the strongest I’ve ever felt it. I’ve also accidentally touched my thumb to a prong as I was plugging it in. That one really hurt, but it was just in the one area. Lightning shivers are all over, like it’s an expanding field in the atmosphere. Very odd…
Well, hope I’m okay tonight. Tyler and Alesha and I are going to try to go to Tulsa and eat at Mimi’s Cafe and go dancing, but that may be canceled on account of the weather. We’ll see… Konbanwa minna-san!!
