Hey all. I haven't been around much lately, and that's because every weeknight from 6 to 9 I've been attending driver's ed classes. So that's very exciting. Well, the class is kind of a drag and I can't wit 'till it's over. I just wanna drive! This is my last week of driver's ed and hopefully I'll have my permit next week. I'm probably gonna start out driving in some secluded area like out in the country or an empty parking lot. And then I'll gradually start driving in tougher places. After I'm comfortable with the feel of the car, like the texture of the pedals and everything, I'm gonna drive around St. Cloud and eventually go down to the Twin Cities. Hennepin Ave & University Dr are the two toughest roads in Minneapolis and I'm gonna want to get practice on those roads. Division St here in St. Cloud is a tough street too. Division runs through the center of St. Cloud and whenever I'm cruising on Division I feel like I'm surrounded by BAD DRIVERS. It's horrible! People are always slamming their brakes and switching lanes without looking over their shoulder first and turning without signaling. I know there are bad drivers everywhere, but St. Cloud seems to be bombarded with them! My mom said that Oprah once interviewed a trucker who's driven all over the country and Oprah asked him where he's seen the worst drivers and he said, "Division Street in St. Cloud, Minnesota." Can't say I'm suprised!
My great-aunt Frannie came up this weekend. We had a great time. We played cards with her, worked crossword puzzles, ordered pizza, and we watched Cops with her. Frannie is a blast...she is real funny too. Maybe I'll do a whole blog about funny things that have happened with her...there's a lot of funny stories to tell!
Frannie talked to my other great-aunt Alice down in New Orleans. As I have said before, Alice's daughter Julie's husband Max is dying of cancer. Max has taken a huge turn for the worse, and the doctors have given him 2-4 weeks to live. That is just awful! And we're going down to New Orleans in 4 weeks...we could be down there for a funeral 
On a happier note, Marc Cherry said that the cast and crew of Desperate Housewives will be back to work on February 25th. YEAH!!!! The next new episode will be in March or April, and there are 7 episodes left this season. Here are a couple more spoilers...
Orson and Mike will develop a friendship, despite their dark past. Also, we will find out the true reason why Orson ran over Mike. At first, they were gonna make Orson a really bad guy but the cast and crew fell in love with Kyle MacLachlan so they decided to make him not so much a bad guy...they made his mother Gloria take the fall instead. Oh, and speaking of Kyle MacLachlan, did you hear he and his wife are expecting a baby? Congrats to the couple!
DH has been renewed for a fifth season as well. Hallelujah!
