OMG

You know how they say Regional Conventions get better every year?! OMG SO TRUE.

So this convention is a little different, they have all these brilliant videos going on and the drama’s in 2 parts and even the PROGRAM is so colorful and printed with illustrations and they even have an interactive version on JW.ORG that it’s incredibly brilliant

Yes, please.

So the theme of this year’s convention is IMITATE JESUS-and oh my, it’s a wonderful theme. So far, I’ve been to days 1 and 2 so there’s already 1 day left, sniff sniff, it goes by so quick!

The last video about the inactive ones-that made me CRY, esp in the English version but yeah, it made me think of BC-i wonder how she is doing, I wonder how her mom and sister are doing….apparently they were moving back to korea but who knows?? I feel really, really badly about her. 🙁

Like if maybe I’d been more attentive she wouldn’t have started that strange relationship with that strange lady and she wouldn’t have run off?

But that photo of the shepherd with the lamb is a favorite of mine. And that brochure! They spoil us!

And from today-all those new Caleb and Sophie videos- you can see how the society really cares for the little ones!

And dinner at Orales! with H, A, TJK, JA, CB and her brothers W and M B, H-this really pretty new sister from Edison, NH, Kat from NY and her friends E and JC from LA.

Then Torico for ginger ice cream! yum! (although OMG i was so nervous about fitting into my sausage casing stop staring! dress but whew, i did!! 😀 and OMG I found out why I was having the runs, it was from the protein shakes-apparently when you take in that much protein at a time it causes you to have the runs, plus the sugar alchohol!)

Then today dinner at Totowa with H, L and C, E, J and BW from Patterson 🙂

AND OMG our plumbing!! so apparently there is this crack in our water system and it’s been flooding our garage-it’s disastrous!!

Like, we aren’t even able to take showers disastrous! ARGH I just hope we are fixed by the time Warwick guests arrive on Wednesday!!

And POOR BECKY THE TURTLE! So around a month ago, I noticed her armpits (ㅋㅋㅋshe has the cutest little armpits, so fat and squishy!) had these little red cracks.

No biggie, I thought, I’ll just dry dock her (Well actually I think she got the cracks initially from being too dry, oh wells :T), keep the wounds clean with a dab of betadine-non toxic for turtles, I researched! and keep them moist with alternating ky jelly and neosporin.

BUT they wounds just get getting worse and OMG she was getting in them in her leg pits! OMG OMG OMG I was full blown panicking at this point so I was like freaking out and we got her an appointment with a MD.

She got a checkup and 7 shots of Baytrix which is given q3d on alternating armpits, and I felt so badly because she would panic and SHE WOULD BITE! HUH. She never, ever bites.

Becky is a sweet little thing. It made me cry a little every time but eventually my dad found a way to keep her down and my sister-who is heartless sometimes but not really, she’s just better than me at giving shots-would jab the poor little baby with the needle-a diabetic insulin needle, very fine but OMG when the injection site is a wee baby turtle’s soft and squishy armpit it is HUGE, let me tell you!-and she would start to flail her cute little chubby arms…T_T

But yeah. Her pits have all healed but OMG now her chin! Her poor chin!

so she has to go back to the vet.

OMG

but first I have to enjoy my dahui!

SO tired, I have first aid tomorrow AM from 7:45 to 12PM so we’ll see how it goes.

AND sad that they won’t let us sit on the balcony but oh wells, no cleaning assignment and it doesn’t make sense to have people sit up there when we barely fill out the first floor so whatever. 🙂

So that is the scoop ^__^

I’m going to bed-I have to wake up way early tomorrow!
