(Almost) No Homework!!!

I was so happy!  I barely had any homework tonight, which is the first time in weeks.  All I had was to read Chapter 10 for Green.  I couldn't go to Tae Kwon Do, becuase my mom can't drive with her retina-tear recovery.  Jon can't drive because he had a lot of homework, and my dad was busy in the shop.

I've decided to make my posts more colorful, too!  =)

BL Quote:

Donny Crane: We're talking about emotions of the heart.

Denny: Objection.  Sounds like a girly man.

Donny Crane: [angrily] Move to strike!

Denny: That's better.

Smart Tips of the Day

Smart Tip #1: Don't mistakenly rest your feet on your desk when there's a bowl of hot sauce on it.

Smart Tip #2: If you fail in performing "Smart Tip #1", don't move your drenched jeans onto your socks and soak them, too.

...with a pleasurable visual!
