Well, sorry about that long absence guys. I got sick with what I think was the flu Friday evening and stayed sick until the next Thursday. And I was really sick. I had such an awful soar throat that it was almost too painful to eat and I had high fevers and couldn't go to sleep or stay asleep. All I could do was lay around and read. I am so glad that I am better. In other news not much has been going on since I last posted. It snowed here on valentines day and there were all these storys on the news about the problem of getting your flowers delivered. Today jc, dad and I went and looked at tvs (we are buying a new one) and dad was hard to please. He wants one under $1000 that is reasonably big, doesn't fade when you look at it from the side and has a good picture. I wonder if he'll find his perfect tv. We have our grandparents visiting with our two cousins and it has been a full house, especially during dinner. Our cousins are both boys and they and my younger brother sit at a table in the other room and they are so noisy they could bring down the house! All they do is go back and forth from playing on our gamecube to playing basketball to playing in my brothers room. Just for fun here is a little cartoon:

Dad just came in with a tv! I guess he found one he liked. It is a 42 in LCD tv. It's vizio brand and their unpacking it right now. I guess they forgot that its past dinner-time :0
