I'm old, I'm old!
Well, okay, maybe not that old. But my age sounds older than I feel. But I had a fun birthday, better than the last three years. (My 19th birthday my family was on vacation--can you say road trip?--and currently in LA for the special occasion. It wasn't a bad birthday...
So. We gained an addition to the family today. A new puppy.
Part of me is happy and all "aww, how cute", and part of me is "ahhh! not another one! Now we have to go through all the house training again!"
In other words, I have mixed feelings about the little mite. Hehe. But she is really cute...
Hakuna Matata. What a wonderful phrase. No worries, mate. ;)
Erm. Nothing much to report from my end. I've been wasting way too much of my time online the last few days, and hardly writing at all. *scolds herself*
Ohmygoodness, kittens are sooooooo cute! Even when they maul you. ^_^...
"Life seems nothing more than a quick succession of busy nothings."
I stole that from Mansfield Park, but it's a pretty apt description of my life right now.
I hate cough syrup.
I hate coughing more.
I like sleep. :yawn:
I finished reading Pride & Prejudice yesterday. Yay! It was very good. Very similar to the A&E movie, but more expanded. Or something.
Oh, my sisters and I went to a used book sale at the fairgrounds yesterday, and I bought three books for a total of six bucks: Persuasion, by Jane Austen; The...
I'm about two-thirds of the way through reading Pride & Prejudice. :cool: Lizzy just ran into Darcy at Pemberley. Heehee.
It's autumn now! Yay! (Totally my favorite season. ;))
I watch too much TV.
I watched the Emmys on Sunday with my mom and older sister, and it gave me a few random...
Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day! Arrgh. ^_^
Yeah, I'm not much of a pirate impersonator, what can I say?
Well, I finally finished watching* the Keira Knightley Pride & Prejudice, so now I will remark upon my opinions on the two versions. Because I'm weird. (But that has already been long...
Update: ('cuz I'm...er, well, an odd person in need of sleep but unwilling to climb into bed and go visit slumberland) What I said about singing a couple hours ago? So not true anymore. I can talk, but barely, and in a hoarse voice that sounds more like it comes from a frog than a human. Ehh...
I watched Pride & Prejudice today, the A&E horrendously-long one with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. :)
Actually, I gathered up all our Jane Austen DVDs and have them on my desk now, ready to watch. I'm debating what to watch tomorrow--Mansfield Park, Emma, Sense & Sensibility, or the Keira...
Yay me! I *finally* finished chapter 1 of the (more or less) third draft. Woo-hoo! Heehee.
In less good news, my throat just started hurting maybe fifteen or twenty minutes ago. This is not a good sign. (Of course, when is a sore throat a good sign?) My sister’s had a nasty cold and been...
Third time's the charm, right (or so the saying goes)? Well, I started a blog (a *real* one, as opposed to this one, which, you know, is just fake. Like, there's nothing at all even remotely real about it. It's all in my imagination…or something *snickers*) today/last night. It's my third...
My sister introduced me to two new CDs a couple days ago. Brooke Fraser Albertine and Francesca Battistelli My Paper Heart. Yay! New Christian singers that I like! (It's been a while…Britt Nicole is, I think, my most recent, er, acquirement, and it was over a year ago when I first heard her.) Of...
The fair ends tomorrow--yippee! ^_^ I can say that only 'cuz I went yesterday and got some fair fries and ice cream--the whole point of going to the fair, in my opinion. The food. ;)
Heehee. Watched Psych earlier. Sooo funny. Though I have to say, I preferred my prior ignorant state of women's...
Okay, three things I want to jot down really fast:
1) I had to milk goats tonight. :eek: Actually, though, it wasn't as traumatic as I feared it would be (my fear was based on past milking experiences...let me just say, they weren't good ones), though I think I still smell like goat, even...
I've been a naughty girl today, and have procrastinated from writing all day. *tsks* As soon as I'm done with this, I shall get to it. I promise.
So. I started reading about Joseph today. (Joseph as in Jacob's son, coat of many colors, Pharoah's righthand guy, etc.) It made me want to read...
So… today began the beginning of the craziness. (If that makes sense. I'm not entirely sure it's one hundred percent grammatically correct, but I refuse to change it. Ha!)
What do I mean by the craziness? The fair, of course. :) Technically, it doesn't begin till tomorrow morning (Saturday...
Is it wrong of me to be impatient for the year—or at least November 4—to be over and done with? I'm not the most, er, politically minded, shall I say, and election years pound in my reasons for that in spades. It's all too stressful and…I don't know, contentious.
But anyway, on to happier...
I've been working not-so-hard on revising the story that I finished back in April (yippee-yay-me! Heehee…sorry, I'm still kind of ecstatic about it…) the last few days. It's a contemporary YA novel, the first in a series (I do so love my series…which can be annoying at times, honestly), and...
So it has begun. *takes a deep, steadying breath* The dreaded season…of football.
:eek:
(And by football, I mean football, not soccer, for those non-Americans out there. :) Which is, I suppose, a blessing, because I dislike soccer even more than football.)
My family is one of college football...
Pivots and divots, and divots and pivots*.... What's a divot, anyway?
*goes to check the dictionary*
Okay, then. According to the Encarta dictionary, a divot is "a small lump of grass and earth accidentally dug out of the ground while playing a sport, especially golf." [Early 16th century...
