Cool picshas..:D
As for my days...I almost wish I had more math...I get sick of the computer... I didn't think I'd be this bored...What I do all day mainly is chat, play with Anna, chat, take pictures, stay up watching movies, chat, clean, chat, babysit, chat...yeah...
Right now I have a load of laundry going swish swish. A friend is sick...Well, three friends. Skittles, Fourth and Randomizer. I hope I don't catch the bug... I feel sorry for their families...They are in danger...0.o
Bluey's computer is being mean to her. It shuts off. ..Mean.
I have been peeping at all the presents... I know what many of them are. >:)

Anyways, I'd best be putting an egg in my shoe and beating it now...
So TA TA!
The freedom.
The happiness.
The vacation...:)
I woke up at 11 today. Slept in. >:) Happiness. I was up late reading and watching The Honeymooners.
I finished off the pot-roast last night, too.
At this very moment, Mom is wrapping presents and placing them under the tree...No one is allowed in that room.
I must be off now, and go wrap presents...>:)
I already made Skittles and randomizer's present on GIMP. Workin' on Netsirks and Blueys.
BYESS!
Gather, friends and loved ones.

Today was a long and boring Friday. But the end result is FANTASTIC.
I have finished my entire book of Math. All of it. I've mastered it. Quiz me. >:)
Gone are my restrictions! I am free to do as a please!
Er...ahm...At least until a good while after New Years. Until then, I plan to be a lazy bum and enjoy my freedom. :)
I will spend my days chatting, blogging, taking pictures, babysitting, gloating and such...Ah...It feels wonderful. But for now, I must set to work and be kind to others with my free time and create my friends GIMP presents...:)
Anyways, thank you everyone, for celebrating my success!
* applause *
thank you, thank you.
* applause *
No, seriously. This really is too much...
* roaring applause, ground shakes *
THANK YOU! REALLY! I'm touched!
* screaming and shouting *
Wow...THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I best be going.
I need to get back to my schedule of doing nothing since I finally have the freedom to do such...:)
I'm back from Argentina. Anna was not willing to let me go. She climbed in my suitcase and wouldn't get out.
When we got back around 7, I was still super wide awake, even if I only slept on the bus for three hours.
I waddled around my room unpacking while everyone else slept. Or rather, lay dead to the world. I'm hyper. I stayed in my room and wrapped gifts and I did my annual Christmas Clean-out.
I like the idea of a Christmas clean-out, because it gives you more room for your gifts later on...:)
Everyone finally woke up, around 1, so we had a late LATE LATE breakfast and watched Honeymooners.
I fell asleep during that (notice: I'd been awake ten hours straight). I went to bed and woke right back up at 7 PM. Anna slept right beside me, purring. She missed us all. I could tell.
We all watched Kung Fu Panda, which we'd bought at WAL-MART.
After it, I was still super hyper and it was Friday night, soo...
I got on the computer and chatted with Randomizer... Until about 12. Then I got off and read until I fell asleep. Took me about five hours to fall asleep. NOT kidding.
Now, on to Argentina.
I bought lots of gifts and WAL-MART was fantastic. I found lots of stuff.
My Christmas List for those who don't read my blog:
McCja-___________________ and _________
Verje- a dangly keychain and a black fedora hat.®
Mom-_____________________ and _______________
Dad-_____________________ and a ____________
McCel- a princess dress-up set and little ponytail holders with ladybugs on them.
McCab-a Little People® 3-people play set for her dollhouse she'll be getting, and a pink purse because she likes purses.
friends:
Romta-a pretty star ring
Turan-address booklet with a cute cartoon on the front. she'll love it.
Belen-earrings

ANYONE WHO DARES TO SPILL THE BEANS WILL BE FORCIBLY BLOCKED FROM READING MY BLOG. Is that UNDERSTOOD!?
Good. :D
Argentina was great. Wal-Mart was great. The bus-ride...ehm...not so much, but, WOO!
And it was nice coming home and seeing Anna Banana run up to us, purr and hug us. :)

I'm upset.
The tradition has flopped.
We always, ALWAYS, A-L-W-A-Y-S have the tree decorated and set up all in one day. This year, we were stopped.
We have no 2-20 Christmas-tree lights.
Nobody wanted to go out and buy some.
So we couldn't.
Now the tree sits in the living-room, clear of any decorations. Gone. No ornaments. No lights. No Santa boots under the tree.
Why?
I'm still wondering myself. I know I sound sort of crabby, but I hate breaking traditions! So sue me!
I don't care...
BAH HUMBUG!
But I have good news. Dad says we will continue work on the tree tomorrow...I'm just sad...I was so looking forward to laying under the tree, and looking up at all the pretty, shiny ornaments and lights.
Even when I'm an adult I'll still do that.
I guess I'm bummed...
I just can't wait for tomorrow! We will resume the fun!! WOO!
I'm going to decorate my bedroom. I will make little paper cones and decorate them to look like mini-trees.
I have named the geckos in the bathroom! HURRAH! With the help of Netsirk, they are now called Marina and Marlow.
WOO!
Also. Anyone who has a Santa hat, LISTEN UP!
I have created a tradition. I wear my Santa hat all December long. All day, every day. UNLESS WE GO PLACES.
Please join me. It's lots of fun!
:)
Now, I had best be going. Check this out:

bye bye!
It is time.
Black Friday was today. Sales. Sales everywhere. Gift wrap, gifts, stores were screaming my name. Thanksgiving was wonderful, but it is now time to prepare for Christmas.
I did some MAJOR shopping today. I bought little lady bug clips for McCel, a little pink purse for McCab, a black bangle bracelet for Lenma, a _____ for McCja, ______ for Mom, and a _____ for Verje. I have yet to buy Daddy something. But I know exactly what I'm gettin' him.
If anyone dares to enter my room tonight they will wish they were never born. NOBODY comes in my room anywhere near Christmas! Why? I'll tell you why.
Because I'm wrapping presents and I hate it when someone finds out what they are before Christmas, that's why!
I bought some pretty purple wrapping paper and silver wrapping paper to wrap my gifts. That way everyone knows they're from me.
I was browsing like crazy today. I had so much fun! I now know the true meaning of shop-til-you-drop, because I'm exhausted. But I will NOT rest until all of my presents are wrapped up and hidden away. Only then can I rest.
Verje is a snoop. Daddy would find out. In fact, I still have YET to buy him something. I know exactly where it is, though. And how much it is. And I shall buy it, because I know he'll love it.
I was about to spend the money I was given for today, all on me, to buy myself a pretty termo as soon as I bought everyone else stuff.
Then I realized that out of all times of the year, Christmas is the LEAST great a time to think of yourself.
So I bought everyone something. And, sure, I don't have the pretty termo I wanted. I'll survive. I've made a commitment. I will give more than I get this year. That's what Jesus intended.
I'm going to make everyone GIMP creations, too.
NO ONE COME IN MY ROOM.
STAY OUT.
I'm going to make a sign for my door.
I think I'm going to make some decorations for my room. Wouldn't that be neat? I know how to make paper snowflakes, and I have lots of nice candles, and a little fat snowman named Fred, and a bunch of ribbon. I shall.
Email me if you want to know what I got everyone. I feel a bit sad about Mom's gift, because..I don't feel it's all that special as the others are. But I know she'll love it. And maybe I'll find something at the last minute.
Now I'm off before Verje peeks in my room and sees the mess of tape, bows, ribbon and wrapping paper!
Bye!
How was everyone else's Thanksgiving?
I will get to the good part. We had fun. And food. We had:
-pecan pie
-apple pie
-pumpkin pie
-mashed potatoes
-cranberry sauce
-bread rolls
-turkey
-stuffing
-gravy
-green beans
-marshmallow banana pudding
Let me just say..It was delicious.
We all took pictures of everything, well, me and McCja did, I charged Chloe the entire night before because I knew I'd be taking lots of pictures, and McCja charged Nikki, her camera.
(Nikon).
I took plenty of pictures. Then I entertained 6 kids out in the pool. 6. But, I'm a natural entertainer because I am like my father, who is also an entertainer. We both like to talk, we're both crazy and funny and we like to be the center of attention. :D
I got a sunburn, and also, a pool sinker hoop tossed between my right eye and my nose. I can still feel where it hit. I'm just glad it didn't turn purple. I did what my father would have done. The little kid threw the hoop, so I made a big deal out of it, slunk over to the corner holding my nose as if I were in great pain. For the first 25 seconds, I was, but I just slunked over, and heard all this:
"Joel! That's enough!"
"Go inside!"
"BE CAREFUL!"
At that last one, I peeked out from behind my hand and looked at everyone as if I were about to cry.
"GOTCHA!" I screamed, and we played volleyball again. I made up two games on the spot, and they were really fun. Or so the kids thought.
1. Noodle wars.. Separate into teams and beat the tar out of the everyone with your eyes closed!
2. Snake. (It's great with lots and lots of people!) Everyone except ONE brave little soul is lined up with their eyes closed. All linked together, they have to chase the little brave one! Whoever touches 'it', gets to be alone and brave next.
It was fun! Then we all stood around on the patio as we dried off, and we sang Sound of Music songs. And Christmas songs.
We have to have that family back over, because they are a riot!
And then of course, I didn't get seconds because of course, 'it's not polite' mleh mleh, so as soon as everyone else left, I got the seconds I wanted. =)
I hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving!
So, I hope you had a great GLUTTON DAY!
SO, LATE:
HAPPY GLUTTON DAY!
:) Please let me know how YOURS went!
Alright.
We all know the stereotypical meaning of today. Long ago some old people shared loads of nummy food. But what is the real meaning?
To stuff our faces with mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, pecan and apple pie, green beans and pumpkin rolls.
Let's put aside all that. What things are you truly thankful for? Today is Thanksgiving. So give thanks!
I'm thankful for all this food that we're so blessed to have, when people on the other side of the world haven't seen a crumb for months.
I'm thankful for a nice house when people in Venezuela and other countries are living on the street.
I'm thankful for my family and my friends, who are always there when I need them.
I'm thankful for everything that God has so graciously given me.
What about you?
What are you thankful for?
(A video, but I don't remember the link or how I found it. Sorries!)
Picture This.
A Christmas play. Behind the curtain are a bunch of extremely nervous kids. One of which is a little girl, about 7 years old. Another one is a little 4 year old, dressed in a little white star outfit. He looks really nervous, as if he might faint.
Onstage now, are the shepherds, making food together with their flocks. 'The First Noel' is playing form a CD Player in the background.
The little 7 year old girl is the narrator. She is pushed through the curtains by the producer. She stands there, turning white with nervousness. She clutches the microphone. Shaking, she brings it to her mouth, and yells,
"THE STAR CHASED THE SHEPHERDS!" then runs behind the curtains. The shepherds are still a bit shocked at the narrator's words, but they continue their cooking.
The cue for the star to come out, is the ending of the song.
The little star is told to do exactly what the narrator says the star is to do.
The shepherds are watching the area where the star is supposed to dangle from. Instead, the little star sneaks up behind the shepherds.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" He screams and chases the shepherds who are now running for their life.
They aren't acting. They expected the little star to hang from the curtain and sing a song to to them, not scare them half out of their skulls.
So, now we have a bunch of little kids with fake beards taped to their chins, yelling and screaming and running from a yelling, screaming little star.
The star corners them behind the 'stable' and hollers at the top of his lungs,
"GO SEE BABY JESUS!"
Then he runs out of sight and hides behind the curtains.
The audience will never forget that as long as they live.
XD XD
If you can find it, it is SO worth watching!!
I'm sick. I think it's tonsillitis again. I've had it enough to know when it's coming, and believe me, it's coming.
The doctor told me, the first time I had it when Mom and Dad took me to the doctor, he said it was caused by weather changing without warning. And Paraguay changes weather a lot. One day it's freezing cold, and the next it's Sahara hot!
My throat is scratchy, I have a fever, my eyes are watery and I have a cold and cough. Let me explain this in grave detail, for those of you who are blessed with unbeatably strong immune systems.
When you have tonsillitis like this:
1. You feel like bashing your head against a wall to stop it from hurting.
2. You want to jump in a tub of ice to get rid of the awful burning fever.
3. You're considering sleeping for a decade and never waking up, if ONLY you could get to sleep.
4. You want to blow up the juice in the cup on your nightstand.
5. You feel as though your eyes will melt out of your head any minute.
6. You start writing your will.
So there. That's how I feel. I also have something else I'd like to blog.
I have invented a bunch of smileys.
b=^. <--a doctor who has just discovered an unknown disease.
d=^) <-- a baseball hat on a lil' dude.
I'll have to post the rest of them later.
I have to go now.
Bye.
Hi!
Well..nothing much happened over the weekend. Except for Skittle's birthday.
* cleans up streamers *
* throws away package wrapping *
* tosses party blowers..keeps one for self *
* sweeps up cake on floor *
* wipes melted ice cream *
* emails balloons to Skittles *
I made her a GIMP! WOO!
Also..Nothing..
I didn't really do much. I told Skittles a wonderful story about a little man named Puppo who lived on the twelfth floor of an oak tree apartment tree. He had a mean dog. XD
I love The Honeymooners. I have been watching them and they are SO FUNNY!
That is Ralph Kramden. We have the seasons...XD
I'm sorry I'm late!
Dear Katie,
You are the sweetest person I've ever met. You're meek and humble, yet funny and you're just a wonderful friend. I hope you had the best 14th birthday of your life! You deserve it.
=)
Love,
Verja
* throws streamers *
* hands Skittles a cake *
* hugs *
I love you, and thank you for being my great friend. =)
* teary eyes * I miss you. :')
Hello everybody!
I am bored today. And it's Friday! I don't know about you, but after Sunday, Friday is my favorite day. It means that there will be no school for 2 days. That is just wonderful! At least to kids, anyway...;)
I have had plenty to think about today. For one, THAT GIRL WHO CHANGES HER NAME SO MUCH, I think it's Skittles, now...Maybe...? She'll probably change it soon...So, don't count on it. Anyways, her birthday is tomorrow, and I have a present, which I shall create with GIMP, in mind, but the sad thing is, GIMP is on the older computer and that computer just shut off..So..I can't GIMP. But I have to so that I can make TGWCHNSM's present. (that girl who changes her name so much)...I only have until TOMORROW!! I have to! I have to make it!! NOW NOW NOW!
Alas, all my friends are not online. I think they left as soon as my computer shut off, meaning I couldn't communicate with them, thus, as soon as I, their entertainment, left, they got bored and left. I love ya, friends! :D
I am writing a mystery novel. Nothing scary, don't worry. The problem is..I don't know what to do for a mystery! I have started it..and..* crickets * ALRIGHT-ALRIGHT I KNOW! I procrastinate!! I haven't sat down and thought very much. I'm more of a 'make-it-up-as-you-go' sort of author. And another thing, I write and write and then I can never finish the book...Or I get bored halfway through and KAPUT. I forget entirely about it. For example...I have about 5 stories in my email drafts and another 12 in Microsoft Office Word. And they have been there since...* crickets *...About 5 months now. Maybe? I don't know. Just a guesstimate.
So, please leave me a comment with an idea on a NOT-FREAKY mystery. And it has to be made up by you, and I want it to be creative. And different. Not typical. Where is Jerry Bruckheimer when you need him?
I drew an interesting picture today. I put my art supplies given to me by about 40 churches, (THANK YOU!! :D) to good use and drew a charcoal picture of a little girl on a swing in a little place by a creek. Personally, I think I could have done better, but...I don't have a charcoal eraser, and thus, I will leave it as is. The little girl is cute! With pigtails. And there is a little stool under the swing. And in the creek behind her, are cat-tails and fish...I want to go there...To that peaceful place. And I don't believe in looking at it, staring and concentrating on it because, um. THAT WON'T TAKE ME THERE! I have a vivid imagination, but I refuse to use it for that...
I have a dilemma. I want to draw something to match my room. I want my own artwork on the wall. Since I can't use my paint-by-numbers, I want to draw or paint my own piece. (My paint-by-numbers' paint dried up...BOTH KITS! * sobs in despair *) Any ideas?? My room is colorful. Themed INDIA, because I've always admired how India is so colorful! I want to go there...: ) Anyways, here are the colors, if, in any way this helps you to think of something: turquoise, pink, yellow, green, orange, and stripes in all those colors along with blue butterflies. I have thought of drawing the Taj Mahal,( Not sure HOW you spell that!) because I have always thought that that building is COOL-LOOKIN'!
I have named my camera Chloe. Thank you very very very much, Skittles! I love that name! And it fits my camera perfectly. Because she has a little beaded dog and a little trinket made by my dear, dear friend BosSha hanging from the hook. Chloe...I love it! : )
I have a few more lessons in math and then I'll be DONE. For about a week, I'll get some freedom, and then I will start the next book...Oh, the joy.
Turkey Day is coming up! TURKEY DAY! The day where everyone gathers round, is thankful, and stuffs their faces with mashed potatoes, gravy, pies and all that other wooooonderful food...:)
We are having the H family over. They have 8 kids. Yes, 8. But they are such a wonderful family! They gave me books!! : ) Wonderful, glorious books. I've read them already. I can't wait until they get here. Their family is so fun! : ) I plan to sing Sound of Music songs with them, because they all harmonize and know the songs by heart. I LOVE that movie! Julie Andrews has the voice of an angel.
To celebrate any holiday that has a hat involved, (except for Halloween or any other bad holiday), ugh..x|) I wear the hat through the week of the holiday. Since I don't go to public school * shudders at the thought *, I have fun and wear funky hats on holidays. This week, I shall wear a black top-hat that I found in the toy-box. That is as close as I can get to a Pilgrim's hat. AROUND CHRISTMAS, I will wear my Santa hat that Skittles gave me. : )
I have been thinking. What comes to mind when you think toiletries? PRONOUNCE IT.
Toi-let-trees.
I think of a group of trees with toilets growing on them. What do YOU think of?
Any other funny mental pictures of strange words? How about...Napkin. Doesn't that seem like a better name for a toddler-size sleeping bag? "Mommy...Did you pack my napkin?"
Isn't that CUTE!? I like that much better than something that we wipe our messy mouths with. What can you think of that people say often and don't realize what they sound like? Please leave it in your comment. I like to laugh. :)
I think I've kept you long enough. I'm off to go and write a chapter in the story blog. BLUEY, SKITTLES AND NETSIRK HAVEN'T BEEN WRITING IN IT!!! I, Verja, shall take upon myself the perilous danger of writing in a story blog that is hungry from not having been written in for months and months.
* places sword on both shoulders *
Bye bye! :D
First off, I was tagged by Bluey:
SEVEN RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME: (even if it wasn't seven, it's seven now!! xD)
1. I'm a stickler for capitalization in chat messages.
2. I hate strawberries.
3. I get up at 5:45 AM to do devotions.
4. I have five email addresses.
5. I have 6 blogs.
6. I express my opinion VERY STRONGLY, which means I can be pretty sarcastic...Like me mommy!
7. I love candles!
* pushes that aside * There.
Movin' on.
William is bossing my mom! He is being an over-eager Democrat brat who is upset that he isn't getting his way. He teaches public school, and I feel sorry for the kids in his class. Here is my letter to you, Willy !
:
Dear William,
Have you any brain at all? Or do you just shout out random sentences that seem to make sense in your mind?
Well, you have fun in your little world with all the magical ponies and rainbows pretending that life is simple and perfect.
Sincerely,
Verja
TIME TO RAAANT!
Today I did more math than I usually do. I have decided to name my Canon Digital Elph camera. I wanted to name it a boy name, but, I have three little pink charms hanging from it and I don't really want a gay camera.. And there is a picture of my camera on the side-bar here. No, here. WAIT WAIT! I'm serious. Right here. Click here. JUST CLICK IT WILL YOU!??! Here, here. Here. Here, here, here and here. Aqui. Por aca. THIS ONE. Riiiiight here. Driving you nuts yet?
Good. Have fun on your little internet scavenger hunt! =-) Here. Here. Here...

Anyways, here are the girl names:
1.Cami

3.Candace.
(Please feel free to comment with any suggestions. I want the name to start with a 'C'. Thankies!)
I also am about to break into the wonderful, controlling world of Sims 2. Unless, my friends come on.
So, bye bye for now! :D
"Obama?...Oh, no, I'm sorry. He isn't seeing anyone today...Well, he went to the bank to cash the money from last week's fundraiser. Yes. Alright. I'll let him know you called, Mr. Chavez. I'm sure he'd love to meet with you next week. Alright. Goodbye!"
The Choices are:

1. Santa's beard Ice cream, tasting like coconut.
2. The works.
3. Oreo-Reese's Ice-cream!
:)
Well, today, I sit at my computer.
I type this. And this and this and this.
I have been whistling a LOT lately. I don't know why, I just have!
I got a clean streak today. I went through my room and tidied everything, straightened everything and I found something WONDERFUL to use as a knick-knack catcher.
While in Ohio, Dad bought me, Verje and McCja and Verna, (all the girls in the family) little baskets. Well, okay, they are made out of pretty wood, and they are the shape of a heart. They are napkin-holders that double as a hot-pad. They are absolutely lovely. I have mine set on my desk to catch whatever I don't have time to put away...OKAY! YOU CAUGHT ME! It's a place where I can put little stuff when I'm lazy and don't want to put them where they belong, and it won't look messy.
I cleaned the kitchen on my own choice, because I felt the strange urge. I found a wonderful paper flower made by my great friend, Higpa, and it just happens to match my bedspread PERFECTLY. So, I tied the pretty flower around the handle of the ..um...heart..thing....:D
McCja went and got my ring from the store, and Dad is supposed to bring it to me as soon as he gets back from their house.
I shall be VERY angry if either of them forget. I don't think they will, though.
Here I sit. Bored.
Help me.
Someone get on Gmail, Yahoo, MSN..ANYTHING! HELP!
Adios, comrades!
Are interesting...

I needed something that would take my mind off of Obama and his baby-killing nonsense. He doesn't care.
If he doesn't care for babies, he has no heart. What makes America think he even cares for America?
-_-
He makes me mad.
I have an awesome confession:
I beat ALL of those mind-readers!! WOO! I don't know how they do it, or how I do it!! But I can beat them!
And they all involve math, which, I am horrible at...* ahem, I HATE IT, ahem *
So, just see if you can beat them. I caaaaan! WOO!
Anyways...Yeah...
Please pray for America...They need it.
Obama as President...Wow...
And, today is Wacky Wednesday, so I decided to post those wacky mind-reader thingies.
AND, TODAY IS WE'RE GONNA DIE BECAUSE OBAMA IS PRESIDENT DAY...I'd say that's wacky...scary...and enough for this Wednesday.
* breaks into tears *
Obama is President.
PLEASE READ THE POST BEFORE THIS ONE.
Obama won.
Simple as that.
As my Mom said, there are going to a bunch of people whining in a year or two.
I have had a terrible life. First Chavez, now Obama. I deserve a medal or something.
Any Christian who thinks God would be pleased with a baby-killer as our President, is a very shallow Christian.
My question:
WHY DO PEOPLE THINK HE'S OKAY!??! He says it's fine to chop a baby's neck. He thinks it's okay, that if the baby happens to survive, that we have every right to just leave it in a bucket in some dark alley to suffer and die.
All I have to say to America on that is,
"AMERICA!!! WHAT WERE YOU THINKIN'?????!?!?!?!!?"
Get a brain.
and soon,
"YOU GOT SOME SPLAININ' TO DO!!"
I can't believe this...I am so upset! And to think that someone I know voted for him...
TALK ABOUT ANGER!!!
Well, time for something that doesn't make me grind my teeth...
Um...
Oh, yes!!
Yesterday I went with my two sisters to go jewelry-shopping. I found a pretty silver band, and it's being engraved with, "True Love Waits ♥"
So, here we go...4 to 8 more years of this...
Can you see my excitement?
I was bored..And yeah..:)
Finally, I can use GIMP! WOOO! THANKS PIENI!!!!
Today is going alright...I'm taking my camera to WADE tonight..To take some candid pictures..I love WADE.
Anyways--that's my first work of GIMPART!
Bye bye!
Today is a hot day...
The sun is burning all human life as we know it.
Today is Tuesday...:
1. My handwriting is cursive.
2. I have visited Angel Falls.
3. Baby toys CRACK ME UP!
Have fun...Back to my ranting...
It is hot...The pool is looking nice...I think I'll go jump in it when I finish this post...The water is nice and cool.
We had the nieces over while Dad, McCja and McCbr went to Philadelphia for a day...xD... They brought back chocolate chips! That, is wonderfulness in itself!
My room has managed to get a bit messier... So, tonight, I will go through it completely and pick it up so it can go back to the way it was last week. With....* theme music *
A place for everything! And everything in it's PLACE! xD! * musical notes run away *
..Yeah..
I babysat for me nieces on Sunday, twas fun. :) I'm thinking of making another blog. Verja's Babysitting Adventures!
Ya think I should?
I have the strange feeling that school is gonna come back tomorrow...*GULP*
I am doing much, much better with GIMP.
Bluey, you copied me. Well, sorta.
'GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT?
:P no you're dead wrong!' random musings blog...-_- sure sounds like what I said GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT! Um..No..Weird guess..etc...(Go check me post before this one, and see!!)

Now, I gotsa go!
1. List 10 things you are thankful for
Aah...Uhm..Ah--Yeah. I know. I need to blog. :)
Let's see...Hmm...
*thinks so hard brain explodes and head falls off*
Whoops.
*picks head up and screws back on*
Ah. :)
Tonight we are having a cookout! YAY! Complete with steak, GUASACACA, Mamy's awesome famous seven layer salad (I grated the cheese), sausage and we're all gonna swim in the pool cause the pool is nice. Not cold, and the weather is perfect. Plus, I love swimming at night! :)
McCbr and McCja were here, along with McCab and McCel, but, the little girls have bed-times so McCbr and McCja are taking them back, calling a friend of theirs to watch the babies and then coming back and havin' some fun!! WOOOOOO!!
Tis 6:27 now.
Everyone, Lenma, Lenjo, and their dad are all coming over. McCbr and McCja and (our hero) the guy who helped us get the container so fast, Bobma and his wife, Bobri or Bobli.
The fun begins at 8. . .
*stares at the little clock in bottom right corner of screen*
*sees you're doing the same thing*
STOP COPYING ME!
An eternity from now. . .HOW will I be able to stay patient?? I can't do it, I tell you! I JUST CAN'T!
Patience isn't my forte. I go crazy at the doctor's office when it's full.
GUESS WHAT!
No, seriously. GUESS!
NO! I'm not gonna tell you until you guess.
-
0.o ...Um, weird suggestion, and no. That's not it.
Actually, there are TWO things I must tell you:
1. I cut my hair. It's about an inch shorter than my shoulders!
2. I might get new glasses as part of my Christmas present! YAAAY!
Boy, were you way off..xD..
I have 36 more pages, no, 35 (toldja I was bad with numbers) in Math. Then, oh the joy, I get to start ANOTHER book...FuuUuuun...|:P
Anna is clawing at my shoulder...OUCH!
Tacogirl, YE MUST POST ABOUT GREECE! ! ! MUST MUST! Oh, sure..You're probably off looking at all the awesome statues and those pillars in the whatever ya call it..Yay for Tacogirl!
I have been waking up at 6 ever since yesterday. Randomizer wakes up then, and I'm a morning-person so I thought I'd give it a shot and try it.
LOVE IT! Mornings are peaceful and it seems as if the world is just waking up...: ) I have my cellphone alarm set to go BLEEP BLEEP RING RING BLEEEEEEEP! RING RING BLEEP! RING RING BLEEEEEEP! BLEEP BLEEP RING RING BLEEEEEEEEEP! RING! (It's an annoying tune, thus, it works!) I have it high on a shelf so that, in order to turn it off, I HAVE to get out of bed. It works. I woke up, made my bed and tidied my room up. That took about, oh, 20 seconds?
NEWS: I am organized. I have broken my horrid habit of messiness. My room has stayed neat all week, which means, I can go on. It has NEVER ever before, in the history of ME, PEOPLE, ever stayed this neat for so long, usually it stays neat for maybe an hour and then I mess it up again. However...*glances at drawer* I need to clean that drawer out...Or it'll come back to haunt me by encouraging the rest of my room to GET MESSY! And I don't want that. Okay. Let me make this clear. I L♥VE it when my room is neat, clean and perfect. What I HATE is having to take the time off to do that. I hate stopping what I'm doing, like, chatting with buddies, playing around with GIMP, etc. Tehe..I'm lazy! :P I'd rather blog.
(I saw the coolest teeshirt EVER that had the Blogger sign on it, and it said, 'I'd rather be blogging'. WaNt It!! SO BAD!)
GIMP is going well. I took Bluey's advice and went ahead and emailed her friend, the GIMP MARVEL. She was lots of help and gave me some links.
If you ever read this, NacNi (star wars for her email) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can finally fix things up. I tried making Iwo Jima on GIMP. Twas hard, and I gave up cause I lost all my work 7 times. :(
My paint-by-number kit? The paints are all dried out...Just what I was afraid of..Let's take a minute, please.
*takes off hat*
*cries*
*puts flowers on paint-by-numbers kit*
Sniffle...:'| BUT! GOOD NEWS! :) Mom says she will get a BUNCH of replacement paints, (won't match the numbers mixing and stuff) and I SHALL WING IT! I already know how to do shadows and stuff..Now when we're actually gonna go get that paint? Don't know..0.o We must wait and see..>Something I ain't that great at.
Tomorrow, Dad is making (OH JOY!) waffles. Sure, for you it isn't so awesome. Try living without waffles or whatever your favorite food is (tacogirl-chocolate milk/macandcheese), for 3 years. Just try it. Then you'll be grateful.
Anyways, he's going all the way. And he's invited McCbr, McCja and the girls over, too. STEAK TONIGHT, WAFFLES TOMORROW! THIS. IS. THE. LIFE!
6:55..
6:56...
*watches time like a hawk* What should I do while I wait? I've already read (3 books) just today, no wait...*calculates*..4 books. I've chatted, I'm done with the computer for now...I'll be back on in like 4 hours! FRIDAY NIGHT! WHAPOO! (never heard THAT cheer, havya?)
GAH! 6:57..
6:58..
Oh..Still 2 more hours..Mmmph...>:|
6:59..
WILL IT EVER END? Rrrrgh...
7:00!!!! WHAPOO!!!!!!!!!
K. I really DO need to find something else to do. I will try to blog sometime soon....
No, seriously. I'll try.
CYA! :)
Someone. Anyone.
I want to figure out GIMP!!!
That be all.
Buhbye.
Hi everyone!
Glad you all like my blog. WHO DELETED ONE OF MY COMMENTS? I DEMAND TO KNOW!
Anywho:
Today is Time Change...*cuts ribbon and cheers*...Which means I woke up at 6, normal time, Randomizer...:D
I was made fun of last night. As many of you know, I am a blonde. Inside and out. xD
So, I asked my brother in law, MccBr, how many hours ahead it would skip.
He said 6.
I believed him.
Ladies and Gentlemen, that was my first mistake.
Then Verje went along with it.
I believed her too..Steerike TWO!
And, then they were like, "You should shower now, which should take you a little and then get to sleep once we get home, cause you only have like 2 hours til you have to get up for church!"
I believed them again...
*smacks forehead* WHEN WILL YOU LEARN, VERJA??!?!?!
With being blonde comes privileges, and consequences.
My new background. Thanks, Tacogirl, for the idea! :D You inspired me...Hehe...
Hope she's havin' loads of fun in Greece. I wish I was in Greece...:(
As you've all noticed by now, I have NO idea WHO hasn't been feeding my animals, but someone hasn't. And thus, Blogger has removed them...YOU KILLED MY PETS WHOEVER YOU ARE!!
MEANIE!!!!!! BLOG PET MURDERER!! ):P
I relied on you...Everyone who visits...Even Anonymous people...And you've failed me...I guess I'll just have to go private...Hmmph! No, I won't.
I like having people from:
Africa
Italy
Costa Rica
India
Brazil
United Kingdom
Australia
Venezuela
Paraguay
Canada
Spain
Uruguay
....and many more. And, I have someone from NJ...Who are you? Confess!! And NH...And N. AND NY! CONFEEESS!
Please, people! I know you're there!! I can see you every single time you visit!

As of the day. I had a great morning! I was all ready to go to Choir Practice at church, at 9. As it is every Saturday.
NO.
The leader is going to France today. He left someone in charge who can't rehearse with us until 3 this afternoon...I love practice! And I was sooo upset when I found out I'd have to make 6 hours pass FAST!!
So, we came back. Then Dad made pancakes. They were yum! I watched a movie, washed dishes, and then swept up my room.
I have a list in my room...
BYE!
...
Ok..? I didn't know about the dating site. NOBODY needs to go there. Just click past all the hippie-love and peace stuff, and DON'T join if invited to. Just take the quiz and post your result! Thankies!
Okay!
MISSION: ORGANIZATION!
I am a messy person. I always have been. ENOUGH! I am gonna keep all my stuff organized.
I already cleaned a LOT!
I have:
-tossed out trash
-sorted my desk, school stuff: notebook, pencil-jar, sharpener and tape on one side and jewelry on the other side. A picture frame in the middle.
-cleared out under my bed.
-organized my desk-shelves.
I have to: (by tonight)
-fold clothes and put clean ones away.
-organize closets.
-sweep.
So, 4 down, 3 to go! WOO!
And, if I fail hopelessly in this attempt, I am gonna scream at myself like that guy on the MAILCALL show, and hop right back to it.
Reward if done:
I can make quesadillas...YUM...
My Day at A Glance: (Complete with how long it will take me!)
Wake up. (1 min)
Make bed. (1 min)
Clear floor. (about 20 sec-2 mins, depending on WHAT is on the floor!)
Take care of clothes. (5 mins)
Tidy up bookshelf. (3 mins)
Tidy up desk. (5 mins)
School. (2 1/2 hrs)
Organize just a little throughout the day. ( 3-6 mins each)
Get lost/missplaced/ out of place items and out them where they belong. (5 mins)
Sleep. (10 hrs).
Sound good to you? Maybe YOU could follow my example...HEHEHE!
*gulp*
Here I go...
I have to stop this procrastinating...It's disorganized, and that's my whole goal here!
...
Still here...GET UP, VERJA!
...
...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! GO! HOP TO IT!
Fine.
Pray for me!
*reluctantly gets out of chair, carrying Anna in arms who is asleep)
Bye..
Don't click my text, BTW...Something weird...I think it's the quiz or something...
OKAY OKAY! I'm GOIN' I'm GOIN'!!!
That is all I can say. I wish I could say more, but...I just can't.
Something horrible has happened. Go here for the full story: CLICK.
Things happen in life so fast. Nobody knew of it. She has 4 kids, her husband is dead from a Motorcyle Accident.. Life is going to be terribly rough on their entire family.
I can just imagine if it was MY father. It's horrible.
God has reason. We just don't know what it is yet. And, he was saved. Now he is with God, who wanted him to come home. And whatever God wants, God gets.
It's normal for sadness to come, but, he's with God. He's happy. And no more pain will come to him. Please pray that God will give them all the strength, guidance and comfort they need so much.
I can't believe it..
PLEASE pray.
God Bless them.
They are suffering so much.
Tomorrow, let's all express love to everyone. As you can see, things happen so fast. No one can stop them.
So, just show everyone just how much you care.
Bye.
I need to blog. So, here we go.
The reasons I haven't blogged for a while is because:
1. I have so many story ideas!
2. I have a packed week.
3. I have a lot of things to do every day.
4. I have 4 devotionals I do.
5. I read everyone else's blog.
6. I have school.
7. Blogger has blocked 2 of my blogs, don't know why!
8. I have been emailing like crazy.
9. The pool is finally warm enough to swim in cause the days are HOT.
10. I get blogger's block.
So. Yeah.
As a peace-offering, here are some pictures I took of Anna on the day we got her:
Am I forgiven?
Goodnight.
All of us Ver girls, LOVE to take pictures. Me and McCja like to pose the girls McCab and McCel to take candid photos. I need to figure out how to edit with GIMP to make good pictures great. Like eyes pop and making the focus a certain object and yeah.
I have my own camera. I love it. I got it from a church, and I am always getting on people's nerves by either leaning around them, asking them to move, please, or shouting SMILE! I prefer candid shots. Poses to me, just look fake. I'm finally figuring out how to use all the little settings on my camera. Like, Macro is for taking focus-pictures, where you can take pictures of things like flowers and it makes the background blurry and the focus is sharp. I love using that for flowers and I have yet to get one of the babies still so I can take a Macro of their eyes. I can't wait! My photos ain't all that spectacular, because they aren't edited with Photoshop, cause, I can't get photoshop. GIMP, I would be VERY excited to learn how to use it better, AHEM! TACOGIRL! HELP! NOW!
GUESS WHOSE BIRTHDAY IS SOON! ...AHEM TACOGIRL...I HAVE YOUR PRESENT READY...LEMME KNOW WHEN YOU WANT IT!
Go looky!
www.verjasphotos.blogspot.com
It will soon be chock-full of pictures I have taken myself. I have one thing to ask: Tacogirl? Please show me how to edit with GIMP better. Because I am clueless. And my pictures are okay, but, they can only be great if I figure out how to edit them!
Thankies.
Verse: Acts 1:8
from church today. very good verse.
BUHBYEZ!
They are annoying. The people at the legal papers place. They are always saying this every time we go, thinking it will be ready:
"Oh, wait. We need to do a few more things. Come back Tuesday."
So we come back on Tuesday.
"Sorry, it isn't ready yet. Saturday."
We come back Saturday.
"Could you maybe come back around 8 on Wednesday?"
We come back Wednesday.
"Yeah--um--You're the one with the--OH YEAH! Well, we don't have them ready yet. Come back on Thursday."
We come back Thursday.
"We aren't ready. We still have to talk to.. Come back at 9:30 on Friday. We'll have them ready!"
We are going today...Let's see what happens...0.o...Will they still have ONE MORE thing to do? Or will they play this mind-game forever??
So, I woke up at 6 AM today. Don't ask me why. I just woke up, thinking I was late. So, I got out of bed. And, for once, I was really angry. I was like NO! I DON'T WANNA WAKE UP! but I did.
And then I made my bed and chatted with Tacogirl for a bit. It was fun! I am sending her photos and videos right now...They are taking forever....
Last night Verje reminded me that I have tons of pictures, all scattered about. So, I spent like an hour organizing them and putting them all into ONE dainty little file. Now, when you open My Pictures, you don't see all these crazy mixed up messed up pictures. You see maybe 5 folders to choose from. I'm gonna organize the files in Verja's Pictures. YAY! =)
My room is awesome. I am gonna get a beanbag chair! And paint my wall! WOO! (= o
I am writing new stories. YAY!
Prayer Requests:
-This month is Missions Conference Month.
-I have no way to get to choir practice.
-THAT THE LEGAL PAPERS WILL BE DONE!!

Hehehehe...Have Fun!
Bye!
I am bored. I'm also tired. I felt bad all morning. And then I felt worse when I had to do school. Math.
I started Social Studies, English and Science today. A few more and I get to start this year's. Oh, the joy.
Today was fun, because we had a pastor over for pancakes. I woke up and was like:
"It's morning."
"That dude is coming over for breakfast."
*yawns*
"I look like a wreck."
"I need to shower."
*rolls over*
"What time is it?"
*checks clock on bedside table*
"OH NO! HE'S COMING AT 8 AND IT'S 7:30!"
*scrambles around like a wacko*
You get the point. I was okay when he got here. Then I cleaned my room and made it look all pretty. And then we had pancakes! My dad makes the best pancakes. Ever. I mean, -best pancakes ever- is an understatement. He makes them light and fluffy. He also had to make maple syrup, because, SURPRISE! They don't have maple syrup here. Or chocolate chips.
But we don't get called bad names because we are white, and there are no strikes outside our front door every night so we'll survive. =)
My kitty Anna is looking so lovely. She has such pretty fur and her eyes are getting bigger. I hope they stay blue...They had better stay blue. As I write this she is falling asleep right next to me. Sitting. And she thinks she can nap while sitting...Crazy, but insanely cute cat. I love her...She's so soft. And she's so happy to see me every morning.
* anna climbs into lap *
Aww!
I will post again tomorrow!
Right now it's my bed time!
G'night!
MEME:
Age: no way
Name: do i look stupid?
Location: um--nah
Pets? Yes. One. Anna. She's a doorbell! adorable
Do you look like a pancake? Not particularly why...?
Do you like this quiz? Sure...
Do you like the person who sent this and made it? yeah. becca, you are one of the coolest 12 year olds around!
Gnaight!
There is this book about a little badger, and she has such adorable little stories. Her name is Frances. Here we go. You'll love it!
It was a quiet evening.
Father was reading his newspaper.
Mother was feeding Gloria, the new baby.
Frances was sitting under the kitchen sink.
She was singing a little song:
Plinketty, plinketty, plinketty, plink.
Here is the dishrag that's under the sink.
Here the buckets and brushes and me,
Plinketty plinketty plinketty plee.
She stopped the song and listened.
Nobody said anything.
Frances went to her room and took some gravel out of the drawer where she had been saving it. She put the gravel into her empty coffee can and put the lid on it.
Frances marched into the living-room and rattled the gravel in the can. As she marched she sang a marching song:
Here we go marching, rattley bang!
"Please don't do that, Frances.", said Father.
Frances stopped.
"All right.", she said.
She went back into the kitchen and sat down under the sink. Mother came in, carrying Gloria.
"Why are you sitting under the sink?" said Mother.
"I like it here." said Frances. "It's cozy."
"Would you like to help me put Gloria to bed?" asked Father.
"How much allowance does Gloria get?" asked Frances.
"She is too little to have an allowance", said Father. "Only big girls like you get allowances."
"May I have a penny along with my nickel now that I am a big sister?" Asked Frances.
"Yes," said Father. "Now your allowance will be six cents a week because you are now a big sister."
"Thank you."
"I know a girl who gets seventeen cents a week. She gets three nickels and two pennies."
"Well," said Father, "it's time for bed now."
Father picked Frances up from under the sink and her a piggy-back ride to bed.
Mother and Father tucked her in and kissed her goodnight.
"I need my tiny special blanket." Frances said.
Mother gave her the tiny special blanket.
"And I need my tricycle and the sled and both teddy bears and my alligator doll." said Frances.
All the necessary bedtime items were fetched, and finally Frances drifted off to sleep.
In the morning Frances got up and washed and began to dress for school.
"Is my new blue dress ready for me to wear?" asked Frances.
"Oh, dear. I was so busy with Gloria that I didn't have time to iron it. You'll have to wear the yellow one again."
Mother buttoned Frances up in the back. Then she brushed her hair and put a new ribbon in it and put her breakfast on the table.
"Why did you put sliced bananas in my oatmeal. Did you forget I like raisins?" Frances asked.
"No, I did not forget. But you finished up the raisins yesterday and I haven't been out shopping yet."
"Well," said Frances, "things are not very good around here anymore. No clothes to wear. No raisins for the oatmeal. I think maybe I'll run away."
"Finish your breakfast, Frances. It is almost time for the school-bus." Mother said.
"What time will dinner be tonight?" asked Frances.
"Half past six." Mother replied.
"Then I will have plenty of time to run away after dinnertime." finished Frances.
She kissed her mother and went to school.
After dinner that evening, Frances packed her knapsack very carefully. She put in her tiny special blanket and her alligator doll. She took all of the nickels and pennies out of her bank, for travel money, and she took her good luck coin for good luck. Then she took a box of prunes from the kitchen and five chocolate sandwich cookies.
"Well," said Frances, "it is time to say goodbye. I am on my way. Goodbye."
"Where are you running away to?" said Father.
"I think that under the table is the best place. It's cozy." Frances replied. "And the kitchen is near if I run out of cookies."
"That is good. But we'll miss you, Frances." Mother said.
Father nodded.
"Well," said Frances, "goodbye,'' and she ran away.
Father sat down with his newspaper.
Mother took up the sweater she was knitting.
Father put down his newspaper. "I miss Frances." He said.
Mother nodded. "I miss her, too."
Frances sat under the table and ate her prunes.
Father picked up his newspaper. Then he put it down again.
"I miss her little made-up songs."
"Yes, I do, too." Said Mother. "I love the tomato one she made."
"What does the tomato say, early in the dawn? Time to be all red again, now that night is gone." Father sang. "And her other one--when the wasps and the bumblebees have a party, nobody comes that can't buzz."
"Well. We're going to have to get used to a quiet house now." Said Mother.
Frances ate three of her sandwich cookies, and set aside the other for later.
She began to sing:
I am poor and hungry here, eating prunes and rice.
Living all alone is not really all that nice.
She had no rice, but chocolate sandwich cookies did not sound right for the song.
"I can almost here her now." said Father, humming the tune Frances had just sung. "She has such a lovely voice."
"It isn't like a family anymore. Families are all together. We need Frances back."
"I wish she would call." Said Father. "I'd like to see how she's getting along in her new place."
"Hello?" called Frances from the dining-room. "This is me on the telephone. Hello, hello, this is me. Is that you?"
"Hello, Frances! This is us. How are you?" Mother said.
"I am fine. This is a nice place, but you miss your family when you're away. How are you?"
"We are all well. But we miss you too." Said Father.
"I will be home soon." said Frances. And she hung up.
When Frances returned, she sang a little song:
Big sisters really have to stay
At home, not travel far away.
Because everybody misses them.
And wants to hug-and-kisses them.
"I'm not sure about that last rhyme." Said Frances.
"I love it." said Mother and Father at the same time. And the hugged her.

HAPPY SUNDAY!
Ok. I have a Sunday music practice at church this morning at nine. ...
I woke up at 3. Okay? I get it from my dad! Whenever something exciting is going on, we can't sleep. At all. Which is WHY I woke up at 3 in the morning.
And yet, we can still be perky and cheerful no matter how much sleep we get, or how much sleep we lose. It's like our little super-power! I like it =). I am never usually grumpy in the morning. I greet the day with a smile. Sometimes it's an exhausted smile, but a smile nonetheless. I lay there in bed for like---an hour before I realized I wasn't gonna get back to sleep...SOOO
I chatted with Ludicrous. For a good two-maybe three hours. Then I realized:
I could do something besides chatting.
I should wash the dishes, and clean my room, and charge my cell-phone, and put my house key in my pocket. I named my cell-phone Donald. And my key is named Tracy. =)
So, anyways. It's 3 in the morning. I am cheerful, but that doesn't my brain can think straight! Give me a simple problem--eh--

Ewww! GET IT AWAY! UGLY MATH! NUMBERS! AUGH! Now they are floating....In my head...--OoOOooOh!---WHOA!....POP! Sorry...
So, it's 3. And I want to get a ton of things done...NO. It didn't work out. I just came out here and procrastinated. Which is what I am doing now when I COULD be washing dishes, or charging my cell-phone, or picking out what to wear. NO.
I need to do all these things because I know that I should have them ready, cause unless I do, I will forget it and I will be mad at myself. Cause that's how I am. Teehee.
Kitty Anna is doing wonderful! She is still asleep for now, as most of ya'll probably are. . .Yeah. But, she likes me the most. Cause she cuddles with me and she's always there when I read my Bible in the morning--or when I am telling myself I have to get math done...She is there to comfort me. And purr like there is no tomorrow! She is so cute!
I can't wait until nine
*glances at clock*
AUGH! I wish I could take a shower now, but if I take a shower I will need to blow-dry my hair so I don't look like a frizz-head. And if I blow-dry my hair at 6 AM on Saturday morning--let's just say you'll never see me again, K?
This afternoon me and a group of Marina's friends are going to hang out! YAY! WADE kids.
WADE is awesome! It stands for Want A Deeper Experience. It occupies my Friday nights. It's a teen fellowship. We have Bible-study, we play games and it's so much fun! I ♥ it!
I am actually a very very busy person! I have:
Monday-Wednesday--Nothing.
Thursday: 7:30 Teen-Meet at Brian's house.
Friday: WADE. Last night, I made cookies. It turned out to be a special night, where everyone did a special, so I gave everyone who participated a cookie. I call them chocolate chip crumblies. You want the recipe, let me knoooow!
Saturday: 9:00 Church Music Practice, 7:00 Teen-Meet at the church. Today, at 1:40 is when I go hang out with everyone at the mall! WOOT!
Sunday: I am a part of the church music now! WOOOOO! ALABANZA! YAAAAAY!
So, Yes I can be very busy. Weekdays that I don't have anything going on means: EXTRA SCHOOL WORK. Cause I go around repeating I'M BORED. I'M BORED. and then Mom comes up and says,
"Are you really? How about you do some math?"
And then I am not bored ANY MORE. =D
I really love my girls devotional! It's very good! In fact, I think I'll go ahead and do today's page...
Here is what I'm gonna try to do:
-Wash the dishes--still have the mixing bowl and spoons and cups and stuff out.
-Clean my room--the desk is---bad.
-Take care of Anna, so when she wakes up while I'm gone everything is all ready for her.
-Set out what I am going to wear.
-Charge my cell-phone, put my house key in my pocket and say tonight's teen meet verse to myself.
-Make my breakfast--omelette, maybe? Actually, I don't think I'll make food. It's raining and a bit chilly, so, I'll probably make some hot cocoa...
UNTIL I can take a shower. Because, like I said, if I used the blow-dryer this early in the morning---yeah...
So, I have to go now. Thanks for reading my rant! I was bored...Hehe.
These floors creak, so there's like NO WAY to be quiet...Tip-toeing is OUT of the question. So I usually RUN. And get it over with...Hehe
SO BAI!
I haven't really blogged for a bit. You know that. So much has been going on! We start all school next week, and I started math this week...Blaaaaaaaaaaah...I hate it. It's like a very very VERY foreign language to me--- I don't understand it! It's like Martian or something--or--it looks like something that robots will speak in the future! THAT, my friends, is creepy. It gives me a headache! Mom has me doing a whole lesson every day. That's 6 pages. And it made my brain fry this morning, (but, I know I need it. I love you, Mom. Thanks for not sugar-coating it. Seriously, thank you) To the point where I spilled water on the floor, felt like I was going to explode with x, %, =, and +. I had a headache all morning!! I made the mistake of SHOWING it, though.
Jewel is going to make banana-bread this afternoon, and tonight we have a teen-meet at McCbr and McCJa's house. I can't wait!
The pool is nice finally, so I will go swimming soon. People are outside fixing the air-conditioner now, though. So I'll wait.
I have taken up a really cool hobby! Nature Journaling! Where you sit outside with a blank notebook, and draw and write about everything you see! It really relaxes me. I am also doing a 30-day-challenge devotional, and it is amazing. I feel SO much closer to God. I know it'll help me. I mean, we all fail in Bible-reading one time or another. And praying. Today I learned about thirsting for God. And then I realized I haven't read my Bible in like two weeks! I've prayed, sure, and I'm singing at church now, but not reading my Bible in two weeks?
No wonder I'm thirsty. So yeah, it's really helped.
I love my room! I put a poster that my friends made for me in Venezuela, before we left, and it is a HUGE piece of paper, with individual notes from each of them on it. And it says my name at the top in purple. FUNNY, the purple in my name matches my bed-sheets perfectly! So, I put it up above my bed!
I'm gonna paint ONE wall turquoise. I can't wait! It's gonna look so pretty!
My bookshelf is up. Good thing, too. Cause I have a L O T of books. I devour books. My whole family does.
I took a big step today. Maybe it isn't so big for you as it was for me, but...
I left the house. Alone. To go buy some Coke...--And nothing happened! Maybe it doesn't surprise you, and you're thinking I'm such a baby, but, living in Venezuela, I was NEVER allowed to leave the house alone. I'd get shot! Or kidnapped! Or---well, let's just say, you'd never see me again! THAT is why it was so scary for me. But, I know realize that Paraguay is different. It's peaceful and calm. People walked by me, saw my clueless expression and asked me how I was and if I needed help finding anything. So sweet! In Venezuela, I'd be pushed into a car. And blind-folded. And, probably killed. But they were asking how I was! And offering their help!
So, now that I know my way around and that I don't HAVE to be afraid, as everyone here in the neighborhood is very peaceable and kind and trustworthy, I can walk around without guarding myself. I guess it's because in Venezuela we always had to be on guard. It really really really made me feel better knowing that nothing was gonna happen. I'm 14 now, and I can handle it.
Yes, I know, I sound like a baby. If you grew up in a place like Venezuela, you'd understand.
Let's see--what else is happening? Hmm...Ah yeah! I need help! I have a TON of little containers, like one is shaped like a bamboo treasure chest, and another is a silk little box, and each box matches my room PERFECT. But--I don't know what to put in them! As I want to display them cause they are so cute!
And now, my adorable niece has asked me if I wanted to go swimming---HOW can ANYONE say no to that?
BYE!
