It lives! My laptops lives!

So I just barely got my laptop back and I hugged it and kissed and and went straight to blogging! So a lot of things have happened since I last posted---mainly the invasion of the Belgiums! Seans parents from Belgium came to visit and they are staying for three and a half weeks. They are funny and nice---but things got off to a rocky start--without going into too much detail they can speak English but they decided to speak Flemish and its rather annoying when you are left out of the conversation--and they didn't really like me at first. Well there are a few things I learned while dealing with the Flemish speaking Belgiums.
1-They pee with the door open so if you hear any movement in the toilet area--stay away
2-They also sleep naked so in case of a fire knock before entering---also they walk around the house naked I know this because I will forever and always have the bare behind of a much older gentleman imprinted in my mind
3-They have sneaky rules for playing rummy---also they have interesting ways of changing simple math to benefit themselves when adding up scores
4-They drink---a lot! Apparently is a cultural thing so I cant really call them out on it but I can say they can drink like sailors
5-Do not be surprised if you find a Flemish speaking Belgium man peeing in the great outdoors----20 feet from a toilet

The visit hasn't been all bad and I have to say that Seans mom likes a lot of the movies I like so she is pretty cool and when she sings it reminds me of my grandma and makes me happy.

In happier news-----I GOT TO FEED/PET BUT MOSTLY FEED A GIRAFFE! A REAL LIVE GIRAFFE FROM THE ZOO! I will post pictures just as soon as I feel like it.

I am so glad you're back!!! I want to see pictures of you feeding a giraffe! We went to the Circus today. The kids liked it but I don't think I will mind I we never go again. Our neighbor friends gave them to us last minute because their kids were sick.

We used to have a German exchange student when I was younger who had all those same habits! luckily he was 18 and not really old! His but didn't discust me! ha ha!

Tell me what I can do more to spruce this blog up! It's so fun to play with! Do you like your M? Oh, and your pic and video? I thought you would!

Hey, as soon as I heard you had your computer back, I checked here for an update. It's nice to see you feeding the animals at the Zoo, instead of them marking you as theirs, or that ostrich that tried to eat you. Really, Michelle, quit following old men around, I thought we broke you of that habit before you left home. I see some more therapy in your future.
