a brief update

Draco in his new Gators Sweater... Man I am going to miss him over the next four days. But I know mom enjoys having him , and traveling with Aiden will be trying enough.

Draco at High Springs... Damn is he cute or what?

And I started to post some pictures from the highland games, but then I got distracted, saved as a draft... and well you only get one highland picture this time... lol I will get a few posted soon!

They had a birds of prey tent, and show... it was pretty neat.

Well, I get off work in 5 hours, and I can't hardly wait. We are heading out~ 10-7 (that is a ten code that we use on the radio for out of service [poilce radio]) vacation....

I did not do so hot on my spanish test... a 75.25 % which is a solid C... but I don't make C's, I spaz out when I make B's, I push my self to do better when I make low A's... so I was devestated. I just hope that I can bring it back up before the end of the semester. :(

Okay so I added a few things in the left column. I added the link for the breast cancer site. If you click the button for funding free mammograms... it would be appreciated on many levels. It counts the number of clicks a day, and the people who advertise on that sight donate money to fund free mammograms for the less fortunate who cannot afford them.

I also added a link for the Joyful Heart Foundation. It is a support group for survivors of rape and sexual abuse, founded by one of my favorite actresses Marishka Hargitay. There is not a lot of outlet for those who have faced these horrors. Rape is a very stigmatized offense, and often women who survive these atrocities are looked down upon. Marishka works as an advocate, and also works to increase awareness and education about rape.

Thought for the day: Always do right. This will gratify somepeople and astonish the rest. ~Mark Twain

When I despair, I remember that all through history they way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall, Always! ~Mahatma Gandhi

Factoid: The word "checkmate" comes from the Persian phrase "Shah Mat," meaning "the king is dead".

Espanol: No me gusta espanol ahora... Spanish does not please me (right) now. Estudio muy duro, y frusterates mí. I study very hard, and it frusterates me.
