Awards! And random stuff! Oh joy!

Much thanks to Anna, for awarding me this! I have no clue why this is underlined, so I hope y'all don't mind.

The Prolific blog award goes to bloggers who blogs consistently. Once you get it you have to give it to 7 other people.

I award: uh...oh man. I'm going completely blank. Okay, if you blog at least once a week regularly, go ahead and take this!



The Beyond Your Imagination Award


1. List 8 stories or books that you would like to live in (for two weeks?)



1. Lord of the Rings (duh!)
2. And Then There Were None, although I'd probably be dead. =)
3. The Chronicles of Narnia
4. Healing, the working title for my book.
5. My NaNoWriMo book.
6. Peter Pan in Scarlet
7. The Hunter Brown Series (I think that's what it's called)
8. Star Wars



2. List 8 other bloggers who deserve this award
Uh..well, I've already done this tag at least once, maybe twice, so whoever wants can take it!

3. Comment on their blog and tell them that they've been awarded
You normal people can follow that one...

I cut my finger pretty badly while washing windows. Interesting story there. I was scrubbing really fast, and I jammed my finger into a very hard, sharp part of the window. Hard to do. Very hard. But for an accomplished klutz, it was a piece of cake! Reminds me of how I ripped the top of my toe off while playing street soccer on hot asphalt...ouchie. I still can't feel the very top of my big toe.

Anyway, my finger looks like it's been through a gory battle, and my head agrees. I've had a raging headache all this week. I was mystified as to the cause, and then I realized I forgot to take my weekly vitamin D pill. Problem solved!

Can't believe
it's July. Sniff. Farewell, sweet June! 6 months till January 1, 2011! Where does the time go? Ladies and gents, we'll never have a July 1, 2010 again. Ever again. Don't waste it.

I just started something very interesting. In a notebook that I have, I'm writing letters to my daughter! Letters of encouragement, like how to get out of a faith rut, and the joys (ha ha) of siblings. Advice that, when I actually have my own daughter, I probably won't be able to get into words. Oh great. Now I bet I'll have all sons when I'm married! =) I wouldn't mind. Although I would like one daughter, so I can name her Colleen. Y'see, both Dad and I love that name, but Mom absolutely hates it. Coincidentally, Dad really wanted me to be named Colleen. Instead, I was named...well...never mind what I'm named...but it's definitely not Colleen!

Sigh. I'm rambling. But I'm also very bored, and in pain from my finger. Why I'm typing, I have no idea. I do have a funny story, though.

Erestor (my bro) is known for well, loving kicking around a soccer ball in the basement instead of doing his summer school work. And I'm known for getting things done very, very fast. Earlier this morning, I had looked in the paper and seen that the Netherlands and Brazil were playing soccer.

So I, being the sister I am, finished all my chores and school at 9:30. Erestor, being the brother he is, played soccer until ten o'clock in the basement. Actually, he would have played longer, but I ran down the stairs, confiscated the ball, and told him that he was wasting time and that Netherlands and Brazil game was on and I wanted to watch it and I couldn't until...

Anyway. Erestor quickly did his Latin, math and chores, in mortal fear that he was missing an awesome soccer game. He finally emerged from the basement, to find me sitting on the couch reading Agatha Christie.

Turns out, soccer really wasn't on. I had assumed the paper meant today, when really they didn't say. It was actually tomorrow! Whoops! But guess what?

That made us finished with our work at 10:30! Ha ha. That was hilarious. Erestor sure was mad.

So, there's the whole shibang.

Goodbye! Galdor is intent on deleting this, so I'd better sign off.

Erestor's Birthday Party and Snow!

Sorry to be posting a lot today--the Writers Block post was scheduled, and then of course today's events are very 'post-able'.

So...today was Erestor's 11th Birthday Party! We had it at Shadowland and played laser tag. It was SOOOOOOOOOOO fun!!!! I was the only girl there--second oldest, and second tallest--and I did pretty good, even if I say so myself. I got rank 9 for the first game, and rank 4 for the second and last. It was so fun that I even requested (to Dad) that I have my 16th birthday there. :)

Anyway, it was really fun, but it would have been even funner if everyone followed the rules. Oh, don't worry, everyone in OUR group acted real politely ('Um, sir? Do you mind if I shoot you? Yes? Oh, I'm sorry!' jk, lol), but we were paired with a group that...uh...didn't. But I shalnt dwell over it.

And SNOW!!!! It's supposed to snow between 14-20" here! That is SO rare for where we are? What happened to global warming? :) Maybe we'll get a white CHRISTmas!

I think I shall return now...

Ta-da! Didn't you guys miss me? Huh? Anyone!?!? LOL, jk.

So, while I've been gone...

...I finished Erestor's present in the nick of time.

...I did a bunch of schoolwork.

...I pushed a bunch of plot ideas into the back of my head.

...and I started a new book.

I didn't mean to do the last one. But it links up to the first one. Y'see, I was kind of clueless to what Erestor's birthday present from me should be, so finally I wrote a poem. It's rather long...as in three pages...and it's not very good because I wrote it in ten minutes. It's about this dude named Sir Galidine, his sword Kwestian, and his dragon Feth. And they go and retrieve King Can's crown from a gryphonbane.

That gave me an idea. If I could just expand on that and write about Galidine and Fetha and their other adventures, that would make a really great book to give Erestor for Christmas! So now I have yet another book to work on.

Um...I don't think anything else has changed...except that now our house is pretty much decorated for Christmas, and I STILL haven't gotten a start on the Christmas cookies! Hoping to do gingerbread cookies to night.

Happy Birthday, Erestor!


Just a quick post--but Happy 11th Birthday to ya, Erestor! (Did you think he was older than 11? Well, he kind of seems that way sometimes. We do a lot together) Even though he doesn't know it yet, Dad's going to take him to Caribou Coffee for breakfast!

So...I suppose we get to sing the birthday song!

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday Erestor,
Happy Birthday to you!!
