The squirrels had better watch out

I just love making up titles. It can be sooo easy to mislead everyone. Sadly, this is not one of those cases. This title actually has something to do with this blog. Imagine that!

Alright. So, my brother went to Dick's Sporting Goods recently and bought an Air Soft gun. His takes batteries and can fire automatically. He also got a target to shoot at. All sticky and such, so he can reuse the plastic BB's. Here comes the part about me. Dad also got a gun, only this one is single fire, and totally spring loaded. No batteries needed. Why he got it, I haven't the faintest idea, because he simply gave it to Conor. Which, Conor then gave to me!

That's right! I, your favorite look-alike now owns an air soft pistol! I'm not that bad of a shot either (watch it on the laughter). If it doesn't involve judging distance, I can do it.

Now you probably want to know what it looks like. Well, I won't be taking a picture yet, so here is a short description:

Clear and black plastic, with weights, spring can be seen. Two interchangeable cartridges that hold 20 rounds each. Single fire Pistol-shaped, and Tons of fun (only shot with it once).

When all else fails, blame California

A new take-off on "Blame Canada".

I had my first "Show" if you will with my Ventriloquist puppet last night. Overall, it could have been worse. I now know what kind of direction to go in. Jokes about Maine seem to hit the spot (notice the title). Of course, I only do it for a minute or two, but that is all I need...For now.

If you didn't know already, my puppet's name is Chelsea, and she is from England. So, as of right now, She is sassy, with an accent. Room for much laughter :)

Another thing you might be wondering. Why so short? Well, the answer is quite simple. I did a short introduction for my Hillbilly Band. That is why. We then proceeded to do one of our longest shows. The sign outside said:

4:30- Town Turkey Supper
7pm-Concert Beecher Boys and Girls

Concert?!?!?!?! THAT is a bit of a stretch! We are FAAAAAARRRRR from concert quality. Ha!!!!!

We took many pictures of us all together in front of the sign for our site I guess. Not much has been happening there since the guy who took care of it moved away. I know I have no idea how to do anything with it. I can barely do this (just kidding)!

A day in the Life of a Lifeguard

7am-I get up to my alarm

7:30am-I check e-mail and what is goingon in my SW world. Plus all the other stuff

9am-grab my bike to go to work.

9:15-aproximate arrival at work.

9:30 to 11:30am-teach swim lessons.

11:30 to 12:45-break at the library.

1 to 4pm-General swim. Yell and scream at kids to behave. (okay, that was exaggerated)

Most days I get to go home at this time. On other days, it changes. Especially if there is an accident. This usually means bodily fuctions. Like last night. A baby swallowed too much pool water over the course of an hour and vomited in the pool. YUCK. So much for being home at 7... Chlorine will be high this morning. Maybe no lessons. Maybe no work! No phone call yet. Don't hold out much hope.

hopefully this will explain why I am tired of this job and simply want to go bavk to school. I say ash123 is lucky. All she has to worry about IS school. Then again, I am in college. What do I know? Some would say nothing. some would say I think I know everything. I say my SISTER thinks she know everything.

End of rant.
