:)
I'm back. I had to take some time off to think about some things, RE-think about some things, change some things, see all that I SHOULD do and all that I COULD do. But I am back now. I haven't died, and I didn't inherit an island and vacation, leaving you all in sadness.
Meanwhile, here is what has happened:
1. I've made a commitment to have terere every afternoon, in an effort to blend with the culture. :)
2. I have taken up sewing, and have fixed my bedspread! (Anna claws and climbs on it.) So it's all better and pretty now!
3. Dad got me a beanbag!
4. I have become Monk. I keep everything organized and I straighten and tidy things on a whim. YAY!
5. I started reading the Royal Diaries.
The Royal Diaries!! I have 4. 1. Cleopatra VII. 2. Anastasia. 3. Queen Victoria. 4. Queen Elizabeth. The creepiest one was Anastasia's. The last page is the same night the family was kidnapped.
Here is how it goes:
I could not sleep, so I sit here writing this at a very late hour.
My chamber is dark, but I've a small candle to my left which allows me to read and write as I please.
As soon as I've written this, I shall try to get back to sleep.
Wait. I hear someone in the hallway. Perhaps I am not the only one awake.
Oh, dear. It's--*ink splot*, *wrinkled page *
CONCLUSION: She was taken before she could finish, and she dropped the book on the floor on her way out.
You can imagine the chills I got when I read that. I turned the page and that was the end. The very last entry of her diary wasn't even finished.
Her life and what happened to her and her family intrigues me. I started writing a story once, about a girl from today who goes back and rescues the family. :) I have to find that.
Isn't it creepy, though? Gave me the goosebumps.
0.o ...O.0...0.o...
My beanbag is gorgeous. So is my terere kit!! I love it.
There are some things you should know about terere.
Many people avoid it because it looks like dead grass. They judge the book by it's cover. ;)
The first few sips are awful. Bitter and nasty, but as soon as you clear out the loose herb it's a delicious, minty, cold drink.
Paraguayans never drink it with meals. It's made for hot afternoons.
:)
I will take pictures of my terere kit AND my beanbag soon. Just chill.
BACK!! BACK, YOU ANIMALS! * imitates whip cracking *

Bye!
