Problem: I get to miss out on a birthday party to go to Alyssa 's and Eileen picked out an outfit for me for this day , and I ' ve been texting people nonstop because they always text me . And I guess you could say an old flame is coming back . And I get to see my friends . And I finished my chores early .

How might I value Alyssa ?

A: I might value visiting Alyssa more than going to a birthday party .

Problem: Well , I ' m back . For those of you who have been vigilant in your checkups to see if i have updated , your persistance is now rewarded . I have considered many times this summer writing a post , but i was never really sure about anything to say , and other times i was just so stinking tired that I would have rather done nothing than to come up with a clever post for everyone to read . i was working 16 hours a day for half of the summer , and I ' m told I was quite the sour - puss while I was doing it .

Why have people been checking up on the speaker to see when they will update their blog ?

A: They enjoy reading the blog posts by the speaker and they are making sure that they are ok

Problem: Last night about 3 am I was awakened by the sound of a growling cat on the floor next to the bed , and cat - patter going across the room . The growling sounded much like I ' ve heard from a cat in physical pain before , so I got up to check it out . One cat chased the other ( growling ) out of the room as I turned on the light .

Why was the narrator awake at such a rough hour ?

A:
Animals awoke them .
