The Following Day.....

Well I made it out alive although considerably poorer. I also have a secret....which really isn't that much of a secret to the people who actually read this but it'll stay a general secret for the next week.

On other news my mom had a loss today. *sniffles* Her tree died. And not in the normal the lights went out no it couldn't be something simple as re-stringing instead after my dad brought up the closed plastic tubs from the basement it was discovered that there was water standing in one of them and the tree had rusted. Now as to HOW water got in it I don't know but I think it about made my mom cry. We've had that tree for years. I believe since we stopped usuing real ones which is further back in my memory than I can really go and if not that old at least 13 years old (as old as the new part of the house). Anyway so while I'm here in the the horrible place of Champaign I'm goin tree huntin'. It won't be a success becasue mom and I have looked before and well.....nothing is right but we will try!
