Driving... O.O

Dad took me driving today. We (Dad, Will, Jaime, and Me) went down to my old elementary school (Highland Springs Elementary), so I could practice.


Dad even let me drive part of the way home. I kind of turned too far when turning onto Washington and crossed the double line....which then made me turn way too far the other way and roll over a pile of snow.


But overall, I think I did pretty well for my second time. Didn't run into anything at least...


Dad says I drive too fast on the turns. I also tend to forget to look in the mirrors... And how can I pay attention to the speed and the road and the mirrors and Dad's instructions all at the SAME time??!!!

A Little About My Day

Where shall I begin....let's see...

Oh yes, the WORMS. So, I was dusting my shelves today, and then I notice this little creepy looking worm thing. { It looked like this ─> >O,o,o,o,o,o } It was really weird because it had these little hairs sticking out of it's rear. o.O

And then I saw another one hanging on my dusting rag by some sticky stuff... So then I got a little creeped out. I mean 1 of them, ok, but 2! Your pushing my limits!

They weren't really worms though; they were more like baby centipedes. And what I'm really not for liking is that I saw some of those a short while back in my bed...

Here's my Facebook status message on the worm thing if you want to read it:

Courtney A. Robinson says: Ewww is that a worm?! It's a little orange thing with these long hairs coming out of it's rear. Yuck!!! And it was in my room. =/

EEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!! There's another bigger one stuck to my dusting rag!!!!!

Courtney A. Robinson at 12:37pm July 17

The worm is moving....

Courtney A. Robinson at 12:42pm July 17

The one worm that was stuck on my rag...well, I cut it off what I thought was some string...but now─erm─the worm is stuck on my scissors, and I don't think that was a string....it was something sticky that got stuck on my scissors...along with the stupid worm...

I'm sorry, but this worm thing is creeping me out..... I think I saw some of those when I took my bed out a few months ago... (.) (.)

Mom says they're little centipede bugs that hatched in my room. Whew, that's a relief....wait, but what happens when they get bigger, and they're all in my room?! AAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

George Oyaro at 1:46pm July 17

Com'on Courtney! They're harmless! Let them stay! What do u think? Say hello to mama.

Courtney A. Robinson at 3:14pm July 17

Yeah, I just hope I don't see too many of them in my room.... They're fine outside, but in my room...yuck! =/

And after the whole worm thing, I almost grabbed the dead bug on my desk (I just realized I said "dresser" instead of "desk" on my Facebook status. Woops!) and ate that instead of a twizzler. Whew, glad I looked at what I was grabbing at first!

A short while after this, Annie (our pitbull) walked into my room and pooped all over my floor. =/ That mess was NOT fun to clean up. Ick! Annie had to get a bath too. Luckily Jaime and Will took care of that.

A few hours later, I had to go vacuum out the black truck, and it was really HOT in there. But, that wasn't too bad.

Then, Mom said The Word: SNACK!!!!

YAY FOR CHOCOLATE POPTARTS!!! =Þ

Accident on the Road

We just got back from skating, and as we were driving home, we were slowed by an accident up ahead of us to the left. There were so many lights going. Fire trucks and police vehicles were everywhere.

Something really amazing was that there was helicopter hovering right over the road. I believe it was taking someone to the hospital. The markings on it said N36VA (I memorized it).

As we drove by, we saw what had actually happened. There was this trailer truck sitting there. Didn't seem to be really damaged. The damage had been done under the truck. An automobile (just a car) had somehow rammed itself right under the truck. It was horrible! Someone must have survived, however, because the helicopter was flying someone to the hospital when we were still a little ways away.

If any Christians read this, then please pray for those people involved in the accident.

A Dream I Had One Time

I can't remember many dreams but this post is about one that I think I will always remember.

In my dream, there was a boxing match going on at the end of my street. (That really has nothing to do with the dream but it was part of it.) Practically my whole family was there. All except my dad, I think. He was supposed to be at work. Well, I was not overly interested in boxing so I headed on home. (Which looked pretty close to my real house in appearance.) As I was walking up the street I saw my dad coming home and his work truck (he works at James River Air Conditioning and is a Commercial Service Technician. I don't really know what that is but I saw it on some work card and that's what he says he is.) and his truck was on fire! Then I heard him call "Turn off the coffee pot!" or something like that. The first thing that popped into my head was "The coffee pot?!" But since he was my dad I did so. After I turned it off I turned my head and saw a dinosaur in standing in the living room! Terrified, I ran to the sunroom (which we don't really have) and it followed. I closed the door and sighed with relief. It was then that I saw the door knob turning! (It was one of those door knobs that has the thing that you push down. I don't know how else to describe it so I hope you know what I mean.) I just stood there in disbelief. The dinosaur started walking towards me and me backing up. I came to the end of the room where I was cornered. I got down on my knees and prayed to God. I saw the dinosaurs wide open mouth coming down upon my head and then I was awoken by my mom. My prayer was answered!

Kind of a strange dream but it's the only one I can remember. It actually seemed real in my dream though. That was my dream.
