I got a volleyball for my birthday. =) I like volleyballs. It's a Wilson beach volleyball, "the official volleyball of the Olympic games" or something like that. I need to re-figure the way I hit it, though, because hitting with my
wrists is causing bruises to form. =/ I'll experiment with higher up the forearm, but I don't remember bumping the ball that high up... Hmm... In the meantime I've played a long game with my garage wall. The score so far is Garage Wall: 125, Kiwi: 5. My five were a few lucky overhand serves that were just out of Garage Wall's reach.

Mom and Dad found me a lovely hope chest off of Craig's List. It's from the 1930's, we think, from a company that has since gone extinct.

Right under the "L" in "Lady" is 1936 penciled in.

It's a little taller than most cedar chests, and it has a drawer at the bottom. Isn't it beautiful? =)

My brothers gave me a little, pink Swiss army knife to replace my flimsy, dull one. Aaand my sister gave me a camera case, so now I don't have to worry about my camera's screen getting scratched.
Aaaand my dear friend Kate gave me a chocolate bar. =) She's now well on her way to my top-friends list with that gift! ;)
Aaaand my other dear friend, Queen Lucy, gave me a hat she crocheted herself! It's so perty! I'd put a photo of that up, too, but I can't go get my camera right now.

Twas a very nice birthday, wot wot?
~Kiwi~

p.s. We watched a bit of "The Madness of King George" the other day, and he was constantly repeating "wot wot?" and "hey hey?" It must have rubbed off on me. =)

Oh, I'm sooooo bored. Yesterday was lovely: short sleeve weather. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Earlier this week, Monday perhaps?, it was snowing. Nothing serious, just little flurries that didn't stick. But it's still awful to see little white snowflakes floating down in October. Ugh.
Owan invited Rapunzel and me over tomorrow for a NEWSBOYS/TOBYMAC concert!! Okay, not quite an official concert, but we're going to be watching TobyMac's Alive and Transported, and da Boyz' Houston we are GO!! I can't wait! I had the time of my life when I saw them in concert in March of last year. And I desperately want to go see them again, but as I can't go to Central America (where they're performing now), I suppose this will have to do. :-D Look at this picture. Isn't that sad?? Why can't they give a free concert closer to me? I can't go all the way down to Tucson for it. *tries not to start crying*
"Peter, Duncan, Paul, or Jeff: If you're reading this, PLEASE, come to Wisconsin and give a free concert! PLEASE!"
*sigh*
I might go out and try to find a nice hat. I don't have nearly enough hats. All I've got is a pink floppy-hat and a denim baseball cap. I like the girl's fedoras at Kohls and Target, but what am I supposed to wear them with? I'd have to go out and find a new outfit just to wear with my hat. I wish I could find a hat like Paul Colman's. Or like the one Peter wears in Love Liberty Disco. That would be sweet.
So.......yup. Ho-hum. Still bored.
I've been playing a rather interesting game called Poptropica. It's rather boring after a long while, but it's not bad. I beat all the 'islands', so there's not much left on there for me to do.

I need to get off now, because Mom is coming up to work on the boys' school with 'em. I need a computer of my own.

Oh, and I wish I could get dressed up today, because I thought of a good community service project I could do. Y'know all those horrible blow-up Halloween decorations? Like, the Frankenstein's monster, giant pumpkin, etc.? Well, I'd dress up like an Indian, complete with bow and arrows and, *evil little snicker*, KILL all the blow-up things! That would be so much fun! Except we don't celebrate Halloween, and some people might consider that vandalism. I don't, though. It's doing the neighborhood a service. Some people might thank me for it. Maybe next year.
I need 2 go now, so I'll talk to y'all later. See ya!
