Lessons of summer

wow, Lauren's trip sounds awesome, as does Nora's and I'm sure all ya'll's will too. Anyway, Yamanda's visit to New Orleans while it was still a city didn't happen because of Katrina. Boo. I'm still in Texas. Things I learned thanks to hurricane katrina/my evacuation to Texas:

-It really bothers me when people say "supposively" when what they really mean is supposedly. They're not the same words. In fact, I'm pretty sure supposively isn't a word. My mother does it. It bugs me.
-Commercials really are bad. I heard "Aunt JuJu I wanna have dat" so many times from Tyler while we were watching cartoons.
-You're a loser if you're in South Texas and don't speak Spanish. My understanding of the language has improved just to survive.
-Building a city on the Gulf Coast below sea level is a really bad idea. Don't do it.
-When you evacuate, bring everything.
-People eat cactus, my family included. Yuck.
-I mentioned that this has been a bad year in my previous post, but actually, I've been really lucky this year. I survived a really scary stroke and have fully recovered, and my family and I are safe even though a really bad hurricane hit our city. Our house is even fine. By the way Lauren, I'm so sorry about your family. I'll be thinking about them.
-I think the border patrol thought I was Mexican. When we were coming back from Mexico, they looked in our car and asked my mom if we were all US citizens and she said yes. Then they look at me, and ask "are you?"
-There are worse things than being stressed out at school.

Ok, much love my friends.
