The other day only Cameron, Jarom and I were home. Cameron and Jarom kept hiding from each other. I went into the upstairs bathroom. I knew Jarom was hiding in there somewhere. I thought he was in the shower. I opened the door and no Jarom. Where on earth could he be? There aren’t that many places to hide in the bathroom – it’s not that big. So, I start opening the cupboard doors. He’s hiding in the towel cupboard, which is about 4 feet off the ground and not very big. He had contorted his 5’8” frame into the tiny cupboard.
“I didn’t know you fit in there,” I told him.
“Not as well as I used to,” was his response.
“I take it that’s not the first time you’ve been in there,” I said.
“Yeah.”
All these years and I never knew. Of course, I couldn’t say much because there was a time in my life that I thought the funnest thing in the whole world was swinging from the rod in my closet. Yeah, I don’t know if my parents ever knew that. At least I wasn’t very big (maybe 5 years old?) and the rod was pretty strong. I also liked to clear out everything in my closet and “camp out” in it. I guess Jarom and I ARE a lot alike.
David is doing better every day, but still tired. He told me this morning, “My energy level drops about 3 or 4 times a day – it used to drop only about once or twice a day.”
“You’re still getting over being very sick!” I told him.
Oh, yeah, I guess he forgot about that.
Meagan found out that she got a Pell Grant so she can start college in the fall. Yay! I guess now she just needs to sign up for classes. They wouldn’t tell her the amount of the grant over the phone, just that she got one. It’s a relief. I just heard the door open, I think Meagan just got home from bowling with her friends.
Cameron, Jarom, Amber and David went out to Bountiful with me today. They played D&D with David (confusing, I know) while I muscle tested with Sheri. Then David guided me through buying components for a new computer. I’m so excited! We’re going to have a decent computer that will actually be worth getting high speed internet on. Woo hoo!
Meagan is very sad that MJ died today. Poor Mikey. Meagan and I have been reading articles about him on the internet. Michael Jackson is one of Meagie’s favorites. He is pretty good. Better than a lot of stuff that’s out there. His music and videos hold up amazingly well even years later.

Glad to hear about Jarom's hiding skillz. That kid needs to put them to good use somehow. Hmmm...
It's funny...the other night I was laying in bed reading a book and for some reason "She's out of my life" popped into my head! I sang the whole thing to myself~I didn't even know I knew all the lyrics to that song. And I've been having this feeling that something bad was going to happen. I get that feeling a lot, but I never can guess the reason or put 2 and 2 together into any meaningful way until after the fact.
My crappy psychic skills aside, I'm sad he's gone! If Meagan wants some of his older stuff (like Jackson 5/Disco/early 80's) I have most of it.
I wish you guys would come visit me every week! :( How do I get to be that cool?
I was totally shocked when I found out Michael Jackson died. I thought he was on the upswing and starting to get his life back together again. I guess the consolation about your psychic skills is that even if you'd known what was going to happen you probably couldn't have done anything about it anyway. I guess not even his family could. I'll have to tell Meagan about your MJ music. She'd love it.
We will have to come visit you. It would be fun to visit you every week, but with everything we've got going on, it's tough to even make it out to Bountiful once a week. I guess the draw there is muscle testing and D&D. If I go out to mom and dad's at least I muscle test once a week. I've been kind of lax on it otherwise. You DO have a pool, though, so that could be a draw...
Are you going to the Parade on the 4th of July? We are. Jarom's band will be marching in that parade again. Maybe we can go over to your place for a while after the parade (we will be very close!) - if you want us to. We were thinking about bringing a picnic to the park for after the parade.
Heck yes! Come on over! I can't talk Dana into going to the parade, though. She thinks they are too loud. Can you believe that? Dana thinking something is too loud? Maybe it's because it competes with her endless talking and being noisy herself. ;) I might have to come to the parade all by myself.
Of course if she knows her cousins are gonna be there...maybe I can trick them into coming. Hehehe...
