New Background/Upcoming Post

Wow. Two posts in one day. I'm on a roll!

Anyway, I'm announcing that I have decided to change the background for my blog during each holiday season. Halloween is not a holiday in my opinion, so I will be trashing that one. As you can see, I have started my Thanksgiving background.

Now, I also want to announce over the loudspeaker that a blog post called 'But God' will be coming soon on DVD and Blu-ray. Not really. But it will be coming to this blog. So keep an eye on your inbox. If that doesn't work, Subscribe to me. :P

Anyway, I am very looking forward to writing and posting and sharing and sharing and sharing this upcoming post.

I'm tired and it's after 11pm so that is why I'm so........ weird in this post. That and I like make-up.

............ I just thought it was worth an explanation. Ehehe.. nevermind. Goodnight.

September Blog Challenge - Day 29

Question 29: Do you keep a journal?

Answer: I keep two journals. One a physical book, the other is a private blog (so that way if I'm gone somewhere I can still be able to write). I love keeping a journal. It can sometimes be a good friend.

September Blog Challenge - Day 28

Question 28: If you died today, how would you want to be remembered?

Answer: I would want to be remembered for being a godly example and following the Lord. Hopefully, I'll be remembered as being a bright and cheerful person.

September Blog Challenge - Days 25 and 26

Question 25: When was the last formal thing you went to?

Answer: Probably my sisters tea party. Though it wasn't really 'formal.' We just dressed up like it was. So if that doesn't count, it would be my graduation ceremony, uh... 2 years ago.

Question 26: What is your favorite costume you have?

Answer: Well, I have two of them. I have a medieval dress that I bought off of Amazon. And then I have a peasant-ish outfit that I made up out of clothes I had laying around. I would say the last one is my favorite. Probably because I made it myself.

September Blog Challenge - Day 24

Question 24: What is your favorite holiday?

Answer: I would say my favorite holiday would be Thanksgiving. I like Thanksgiving because I think most people forget to be thankful everyday. And Thanksgiving could be a reminder.

Question 23: If you had to go to an island forever where there was food and water, what three items would you bring? (No cheating by bringing a boat to get off or anything like that.)

Answer:
1. Bible
2. Tons of paper
3. Enough pens for a lifetime.

What about you?

September Blog Challenge - Day 22

Now I have to catch up so I'll do Question 22 right now and do today's question later on.

Question 22: What is one memory you have with your siblings (or if you don't have siblings, your friends) from when you were a little kid?

Answer: I think I'll pick a memory from the farm. Just as a warning, this might be a ramble that turns into several memories. But we used to live on a farm and we had a little bit of woods in the front of the house and then more in the back. My older sister and I would go all over and pick wild blackberries to bring home (what we actually left in the baskets... haha.). Then I remember that we used to make blanket tents using chairs or anything else that was in the room using blankets and books. Stacks of books to hold the blankets in place. Then we would take our berries in there or other food and then read together or play a game. Most of the time my other siblings got in on that part.

So what about you?

September Blog Challenge - Day 21

Question 21: How clean is your sock drawer? Just kidding :P What was the last book you read?

Answer: Beric the Briton by G A Henty. It's about a young Briton named
Beric. Haha. Briton is invaded by the Romans and he's carried back to Rome as a slave I believe. He goes through different lands under the power of Rome and is put into a gladiator school where he fights in the arena. Then Emperor Nero marks him as a brave sort of man and has him and his little band of Britons (who were captured with him) appointed as his personal guard. Things get tense when he falls in disfavor with Nero and has to run.

September Blog Challenge - Day 20

Question 20: Are you excited for Winter?

Answer: Not particularly... I don't like the cold. But I like  the baking and hot meals during winder time. I think I could settle for Fall or Spring better though.

What about you?

September Blog Challenge - Day 19

Question 19: What kind of crafty stuff do you like to do (if any)?


Answer: I like to knit some. Not a lot. But some. Crocheting I like a little better. I think what I like to do the most is cross stitch, though I would really like to get sewing again. It would have to be by hand, but still. I miss sewing. Never been much of a woodworking kind of person but I guess that's mainly a guy thing.

What about you?

September Blog Challenge - Day 18

Question 18: What is your favorite Bible character?

Answer: That's really hard. But I like Ruth. I think she's my favorite. When I was little, I was slightly obsessed with Peter though too.

What about you?

September Blog Challenge - Day 17

Question 17: Which president  was your favorite (not just in your lifetime)?

Answer: I think George Washington for several reasons. I liked that he was a Christian. My favorite story about him was when God protected him from the bullets of the indians. When he had bullet holes in his coat but he had never felt a thing. That and I love the painting of him praying beside his horse.

What about you?

September Blog Challenge - Day 16

Question 16: Have you been in a theatrical performance?

Answer: I've been in four different plays with my homeschool group. I've been in Cheaper by the Dozen, Charlotte's Web, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and Mystery at Shady Acres. That was my favorite one.

September Blog Challenge - Day 15

Question 15: What is your Sunday like?

Answer: I get up around 7am to get ready to church. We leave at 9 and get there around 10. we have Sunday School for about 45 to 50 minutes and then the morning service starts around 11. We get out of church around 1pm (after all the talking and we do afterwards :P) and then we go home and spend the afternoon eating lunch, taking naps, whatever we feel like doing that day. Then we go back to church around 5 and get home at about 9pm and maybe eat some dinner and go to bed.

Question 14: What was/is your favorite subject in school (high school and college)?
