The fab weekend of nothing-ness!

This weekend was interesting. Saturday I basicly just was lazy...it was wet and mushy outside so that I couldn't go to the dump..and I really didn't want to work in the mud either. Come Saturday evening however, I went to an interesting get together.

It was a deaf/youth rally at Blended Fellowship. They did a lot of black light stuff and signing. I learned many things and for the most part enjoyed it. The music was not what I would have perfered but I did learn much. Like how to sign James 1:22a in ASL.

Sunday was like a lot of sundays. After the evening service though was a little bit different. We went to McDonalds like we normally do. Nick some how got a free icecream sunday. I stole his spoon bc he had moved his stuff closer to me since my dad was giving him a hard time. We fought of the thing for several minutes. He even threatened to bite me. But I told him he could go ahead I wasn't going to let go. He gave me this look like I can't believe you just said that. When he asked nicely and said please I let him have it. so yeah..it was interesting.

Have you had any experience with ASL (American Sign Language)? Do you have a Sunday Night after church hang out? If so I want to hear about it!

Lets go Babysitting!....or not....

Well, today I was suposed to go and babysit two preschool age girls while their mother went on a feild trip with her youngest son. Well, it was a normal october 1st grader feild trip. They were going to go a farm that has a pumkin patch and all that good stuff. Well, this ment me getting up early and getting ready so that I could be picked up by the family b4 school started. Well, I was up and ready to go, and it was raining outside. The lady called and said she was on her way to pick me up but there was a good chance that the field trip was going to be canceled because of rain. I am picked up and we head to the school to drop the kids off. I sat in the car with the girls while the mother ran in to see if the field trip is on or not. Come to find out it was called off. So she brought me back home. So yeah..it was interesting. I got a ride all over the northern part of the county. I then came home and took a nap because I had not gotten to bed till late last night. Oh, well. Maybe next time I will be able to go and play with the little kids toys!

Have you ever babysat? If so, what is the most interesting time you've had babysitting? If you have never been a babysittter, have you yourself been babysat? Do you have any intersting stories to tell about the times you had a babysitter? I sure hope you didn't tie them to a chair and make a mess of the house!

Sunday Teen Time

First off..there are probably some of you out there that just read. I call you guys lurkers..well anways. Feel free to comment on anything and everything around here...don't be shy, I don't bite!

Anyways. After church on Sunday night once a month the teens go over to someones house and play games and eat for about two hours. Well, this time we didn't go to somebodies house..bc its like a 15-30 min ride there and back. So we went to the Military Christian Center instead. They had a fire going in the back. We roasted hot dogs and marshmellows..and had smores too! It had been so long since I just sat and watched a fire! Its so nice to just sit there and watch it change...I never noticed that there will some times be little flames like candles put off mixed in there with the bigger flames. I would have sat there all night if they would have let me. But I was soon asked to go inside to play foose ball and ping pong. Neither of which I seemed to be able to play well or did I enjoy...idky. things just didn't seem to be enjoyable to play. I was enjoying watching the fire much more. oh well. I did have a pretty good time..I wasn't able to figure out how long to leave my marshmellow in the fire so that it was warm but not flaming. If you like your marshmellows on fire, fine with me. Just don't ask me to eat it. I perfer my things warmed or cooked, not charbroiled black. YUCK! anyways.

When was the last time you cooked hotdogs or marshmellows over a fire? When was the last time you had a smore, no matter if it was cooked camping style or microwaved?

A God thing..

Yesterday I went to the recycle center with my dad and sister to take care of our garbage. Well, I saw a family that was getting rid of an old Nintendo..you know the orignal ones? I thought if Daddy wasn't in such a hurry I could go through and look at the games and stuff..and if it worked either make money off of it or take it to my Uncle who still has an orignal Nintendo that works and works well. When I got home it was still bothering me..the recycling center isn't all that far up the road..I asked to ride my bike up there. My parent's said that I could. So I did..I road my bike back up there. The problem was the dumpster it got put in was closed up. The man wouldn't let me climb in and get them either...I almost cried when he told me not to. I headed home..no reason to stick around.. As I road home I fought back tears. It had been a pretty good ride. And it seemed all for nothing. Well, all the way there, and most of the way back a song from a kid's CD I have listened to a million times had been running through my head. The part of the song that was going through my head goes something like this:

King Ahab went a walking

In royal garments fair.

And saw a lovely vinyard

While gazing through the land.

He said,

"I've got to have it.

"I always get my way!"

And when he couldn't get it

He pouted all the day.

The poochie lip will get you

if you don't watch out

the poochie lip will get you

if you start to pout

so don't be like Ahab

and control that lower lip

and chase away the poochie lip disease

The Lord showed me when I was almost home through this song that I need to get over it. Its just stuff. Nothing worth any value in the real scheme of things. I felt silly over it. but it was so cool to see the Lord show me stuff like that!

Hello!

Hi everybody,

This was suggested to me by a friend of mine. I had tried this once before and it didn't last all that long. But I think I will try again. Seems like a good idea..

Well, what has happened recently? Well, today I helped my dad fix the trailor that had been broken from carring to much glass. I also helped him change out the stove hood. (that's the thing that is above your stove that sucks all the hot air out) This one works without complaing to us AND we don't have to bang it to work. Isn't that great?!?!?!?! yeah..I know..I'm strange.

Coming up in this life of mine...lets see..I babysit thursday. Thats always interseting. I have church tomorrow and wednesday...that seems to be it for right now. Something else my crop up that I will end up doing. I'll keep you posted!
