i just got kobe  back from the humane society and i am not completely sure that he had any surgery at all. he is more active than before and it does not look like he's been shaved. hmm ... did i get bamboozled? did they take my rabbit for the day just to play with him? they did give him a nail trimming and the nurse said that he never met a nicer bunny. apparently kobe was really sweet and not scratchy. he always seems more pleasant to strangers. 

this morning after dropping him off i went to hobby lobby and picked up some craft materials. i got buttons galore! they are really cute. 

i still can't find my camera wire that connects to my computer so all pictures will have to wait. 

i went to the chevy freedom of texas thing with jordan and his brother and sister yesterday. but before we went to the park, we went to the downtown hilton and snuck into their pool area. we swam for a couple of hours. it was really fun. jordan gives fun rides and i played my first game of chicken. it was scary because i hate having my face go under water.

anyway ... jordan has been telling lauren that she should start writing pretend magazine articles so that she can practice ... i think he is trying to get her into something that may lead to a career. so, lauren asked me to come up with some article ideas for her ... i think that they are aiming for seventeen magazine type articles ... 

so lauren, here are some ideas ... some will need research on your part and i think it would be good to practice taking pictures that are vibrant and interesting that could be included with the article ... maybe even layout the whole article with the article, pictures, captions, quotes and all the page designs ... 

- 10 ways to spruce up your room with items under $10.

- clever teen enterprises.

- upcoming fall fashions. 

- nutritional problems concerning teens.

- genocide in uganda and it's connection to u.s. teens.

i don't know if that's what you were looking for ... but, i think most magazines are doing more than just fashion and make-up nowadays ... GET YOUR STORY ON MY DESK MONDAY AT NINE! (haha ... just kidding)

anyway ... after we went swimming,we went to mcdonald's to get some lunch and then we drive to the parking garage and walked to the park. it was kind of muddy because it was raining in the morning but it wasn't that bad. when we got to the park, we walked the entire park area and then settled on watching the beach volleyball tournament. lauren paolini from the ut volleyball team was there and her partner was another longhorn volleyball player ... heather kisner. they made it to the finals but lost to a pair of brazilian girls who were representing houston ... it was really fun watching volleyball again. it's my favorite sport to watch. 

after the volleyball we went to find somewhere to lay out the blanket that we brought. we first choose a place on the hill but it was too steep and we kept on sliding. so, we moved. but on our way down me and jordan both slipped ... jordan started it. i didn't hit the round and caught myself but jordan slammed him tail bone into the ground ... his poor tushy. anyway, jen and aaron and my mom came later and watched the fireworks with us. they were really pretty and the music was pretty good ... they played feist which was nice. 

after the fireworks we left and waited in the parking garage for 45 minutes and had driving wars ... then we went to katz's and house of pies but it was too crowded in both places and the wait for both were over an hour ... we ended up eating at whataburger which had no wait and was delicious. 

all in all, a good fourth of july.
