December 31st!

Happy New Years (eve) everyone! Padmae has invited the jeddi council over for a party. I'm looking forward to this. I just hope nothing happens like the last time we had the Jeddi council over for a party... Our carpet doesn't really need another punch bath, Master Siri...

Yeah. It started out kinda sad...

Okay. I'm now awake enough to tell about how our trip to Owen's went. First of all, I got in deep trouble with Padmae because I tried my fake snake practical joke on Mark as soon as I got in the door. The reason I got in trouble was not because I was doing a practical joke on Mark, but because Mark wasn't allowed to do them anymore because his parents heard (a little bird named Padmae had let it slip) about all the practical jokes he did on me while he was over here. I didn't know about this, but Padmae (who regularly emails Beroo) knew all about it. Females can confuse me sometimes. Padmae expected me to know all about this. Anyway...after my fake snake was absconded, the rest of the trip had a cloud of shame and disappointment hanging over it (at least for me. I think the rest of my family was sorely tempted to dance for joy...including Mark.)

So sorry...

I'm so sorry readers! I haven't written for you in forever. I have just been veerry busy with Christmas preparations and such. I'll tell you all about our trip to my brother Owen's house and all that later. Right now, I have to take a nap...

Life is Busy!

Sorry! I didn't mean to leave you all without a post for so long. I have just been CRAZY busy lately with Christmas shopping and stuff.
Life goes on as normal. Luke had a party with all his space academy friends last night. They had fun and I would have gone to bed if they hadn't been playing the Metal Hits of 2009 all night. Grr and bleah...
Well, I won't be able to write a post after Thursday because we are going over to my brother Owen's house to celebrate Christmas. (I will bring my practical jokes for Mark's benefit!) It's that time of year!

AaahA!

I figured out earlier this morning a great idea for Master Yoduh's christmas present! As many of you readers may have noticed in the movies, his cane was a little decrepit. Well, this store I pass by every time I go to Jeddi Mart is a little place called Canes Unlimited. So, I went in and looked at what they had earlier this morning and they have some nice ones. (The prices are a little high for walking sticks! But maybe I can cut into my fudge budget...) Now, to figure out how to wrap this thing is the hard part...

Jeddi Council Gift Exchange

I'm sorry I haven't written a post in 3 days!  I have been racking my brains to try to figure out what to get Master Yoduh for our Christmas gift exchange.  On Friday, we all wrote our names on pieces of paper and threw them into a hat.  Master Wendu did the honors and pulled out a name and gave it to each person.  If someone got his own name, he was supposed to mention it and Master Wendu would put all the names in the hat again and hand them out again.  Nobody complained so we can assume that either they all got someone else's name, or they knew just what to give themselves.

At any rate, I got Master Yoduh.   We aren't supposed to tell anybody who we got.  So I'm stuck!  I have no idea what to get him.  A hearing aid might be a good idea!  But then, I might get in trouble...

BRILLIANT!!!

MWAHAHAHA! Oops, I didn't mean that to come out sounding that evil.
I am, however, very happy! I managed to get out of the rest of chores. Crunchy is done with the first week. He finished yesterday. And I still hadn't figured out a way to avoid my second week...or third or fourth weeks. But, as I was about to get out my duster and vacuum, I came up with a brilliant plan. As Luke is home from the Space Academy for the Holidays (and being completely unhelpful), I figured I could use him. Do you readers remember how, back in September last year I bought Luke a video game for his birthday? Well, as of yet, I have let him use my xbox for playing it. He is still addicted to the game, so I banned him from my xbox...unless he did my chores for the rest of the month. His face fell when I told him this and I thought he would call my bluff and not do it. But he gave in and signed a contract. Addiction never fails! He did, however, say, "I'll only sign up for one week. We can talk about the weeks after that."
So he signed it. Unfortunately, though, Padmae found out about it and told me off for being such a self-centered father. She couldn't make me do the chores for this week, though, because Luke signed up for them. I felt kinda bad too, so I offered to take them from Luke. But he has accepted this martyr attitude. He said that he signed it, so he HAS to do the chores. Well, that's his choice! On my part, I now only have two more weeks of chores!
