P.S. I think, Ty, Shan, the girls, AND my Grandparents are all coming next weekend!! WOOT!!

I am..

Considering I hardly drink coffee, this is surprisingly like me..

You Are a Cappuccino

You're fun, outgoing, and you love to try anything new. However, you tend to have strong opinions on what you like. You are a total girly girly at heart - and prefer your coffee with good conversation. You're the type that seems complex to outsiders, but in reality, you are easy to please

What Kind of Coffee Girl Are You?

So... It's my Birthday

... and yes, I'm getting old.

For all you who rolled your eyes at that, let me explain, when I mean old, I mean I'm not a child anymore, well, I am at heart, but now I have to start acting like one.. what a bother!!!

So do you think I've changed much.

In Loving Memory Of Mary.

Today I told someone, "A lady from a nursing home we visited died". Then I stopped my self, that sounded so causal, oh some elderly lady died, that's sad, but it happens. Well, that's not the way it was, Mary was my friend. True I only saw her every two weeks, and we would only talk for a few minuets after the singing. But I really loved my time with her. She was my friend. She was alert and loved to laugh, she had this one picture she always laughed at, it was from when "Santa" visited in December, she never could get over that in the picture you couldn't tell where Santa's beard ended and Mary's hair began! I remember last Easter her daughter gave her a bunny that sang "Easter Bonnet" she loved the bunny and would laugh when I sang along.

Mary always felt blessed by our coming there and singing, and, bless her heart, she wanted to give something back. So once she gave everyone who came to sing pens, , just the normal ones, but they were all she had.

The last time I saw her I was kicking myself, because I'd taken a picture of Mary and I together, and printed it out, and then forgot to bring it. She'd been most forgiving and we talked about the play, and we decided if we could work it out, she'd like to come see me act and I promised to try to find a way, I also promised to bring the picture in two weeks, two weeks later, everyone at the Nursing Home was sick and we didn't go, that sickness, claimed Mary life.

That last time, somewhere deep down, I knew I would never see her again, I tried to brush it away, but It was there, God's special way of preparing me for losing my dear friend.
I was so blessed to know this wonderfully sweet lady. I'll miss her, but I'll always have this picture.

Classic Peek-a-Boo

Chemistry Mondays

ME: *raises hand* "So pressure effects chemical equilibrium? So you can't use liquids or solids in a equations because pressure doesn't effect that, what about when pressure crushes a solid?"

Mrs. S. " Well even after something is crushed to grains of something, say salt it's still a solid, just a small one, it takes heat to make it a gas or liquid."

Ellissa: "What about peanut putter? Is it a solid or a liquid? It can't hold shape."

Lillie: "Wait, how did we get from salt to peanut butter?"

Mrs. S. "Well it's not like peanut butter is a pure element.."

Mrs. Q. "It's a mixture"

Zach: "What about Honey then? It's that same consistency."

Mrs. S. "Hold it!! I used to do this to my teacher but you can't do it to me because we have to finish this book!"

Sam: " Then to we get to blow something up?"

Class: "PLEASE!!"

Now I'm not a fan of chemistry, but our class can really be funny sometimes!!

BTW, don't worry about the blowing some thing up thing, the boys are disappointed that most of our labs consist of counting droplets and boiling cabbage leaves, (seriously!) So every week they come up with a new homemade bomb idea, I think even backing soda and vinegar would satisfy them..
So our teachers said if we finished finished the book the boys could build us some type of chemical bomb. It should be interesting...

What Happens when a Little Girl has Big Brothers?

THIS:Joe's an Indian Jones fan, and before the new movie came out he wanted to watch the previous ones. Problem is, the female members of this family aren't quite as big of fans as the males, so we packed the movies up and put them in a box in the attic. So this Saturday morning Luke (a.k.a. Indie himself), Joe (a.k.a. Indie's father) and Sarah B. (a.k.a. no one, she just dressed up for fun) went on a quest the freezing cold attic to find the movies and save the world as we know it!!!!

Well not quite, but you get the idea.

Where did I get such cute siblings?

Old Fashioned Fun

Yes, I'm almost 17 years old, and yes I STILL play dress-up, just a more mature dress-up, I think, well the clothes actually fit me, so that's something...

I went to my friend Lillie's house last Saturday and we had tea and a photo shot. We can be such goofs! CAPTIONS ABOVE PICTURES

The lovely ladies themselves...

Isn't my dress a gorgeous color? Mrs. Darling is going to wear it in P.P.

I was attempting the sober Civil War widow pose in this one...

not quite sure I pulled it off.

The lovely Miss Lillian. (If you can't already tell,

I love turning pictures black and white.)

I loved this outfit, there's hardly anything as fun as going on a walk

on a snowy afternoon clad in a hoop skirt, plaid dress, wool cloak and a white huge white fur tam.

Our tea table, I decorated it my self:-) The menu was scones, chocolate cookies, tea, and a blueberry/blackberry/apple/ blueberry yogurt fruit salad topped with whipped topping. It was almost, almost, too good looking to eat:-)

Grammar, To Being or Not to Being

Remember the English assignment from the beginning if the school year?? Well I've written more assignments since then, but nothing too interesting. Last week's chapters assignment was to write a piece supporting a subject, but completely mean to oppose it. I was to write something by meaning something else. It's an interesting venue of the written word. Although often used in sarcasm, C.S Lewis used it in his classic "The Screwtape Letters" which I am currently reading. By writing from the view of a demon, and through that trying showing evil to be good he was actually showing how sickly evil, evil really is! I'm not aspiring to be be C.S. Lewis, but when I learned this venue was to be used in my assignment I decided to enjoy it by attack a pet peeve of mine, (a pet peeve I am ashamedly guilty of..) BAD GRAMMAR!



Hey’s me is so happy your is reading this here wrote paper. I is written it to speaks to all you that good grammer ain’t worth at all the work and trouble and all that. You who wants to messy with pronouns and nouns and verbs and proper tenses. Why you worry about the difference in seen and saw? What matters is it was looked. Was were what were the problem with it if it was that a way or were that way. Past present and future make none big deal, ain’t they the same? and in that there thought whats with capitalization and punctuation all big trouble i’s say I could be ,any trouble to figure which of whole much tenses to use when you is written when you’s could just wrote what you feels like and let the reading person figure out what you’s meet hisself that’s how come i’s going to being start a club for non-grammulacerists calling
“grammer ain’t worth it none”

Care’s to join i?

“grammer ain’t worth it none” is a corperation of “spillin shud bee otlaud”
