Summer Bordness Leads to Neatness

I got to go to a little makeup party this afternoon. I’ve never been a big makeup person, but I’ve never really had any to put on either. The stuff I bought is all natural tones so it doesn’t really look like I’m wearing makeup which is fine with me.

I also organized my sock drawer. Yeah I’m kind of weird that way. I like to make sure my drawers are all neat. It never says that way unfortunately. But if it can be nice for one day that’s good. Oh and I also picked up my closet, and cleaned a bit under my bed. Wanna know something weirder? I folded all my clothes too. ALL of them. Yeah I was more than a bit bored today.

Swamp!

I never thought I’d say. “My yard looks like a swamp!” but of course, I never thought my mother would watch LOTR either. I am beginning to think that anything is possible in my crazy life. Anyway, about the swamp. We were re-filling the pool (cuz it’s one of those little three ft deep blow up kind) and someone left the water on until the water level in the pool was almost above the blue blown up rim. Uh oh. It was fine for a little bit, but then G-force started pulling on the one side of the pool. It was pulling the pool over. Just a little bit. And then, wooosh! All that water went over the side up the pool. Leaving the pool half empty (or half full) and the yard completely swamped! Well, most of the yard. The part by the pool and the deck anyway. Mom wonders why it couldn’t have spilt on her flower garden.

The consequences of the swamp: Our dogs (all four of them) went out and played in the “swamp” and then came in the house. Wet/muddy dogs = muddy paw prints all over the kitchen. We have a bit of work cut out for us either this evening or tomorrow I think.

Jenna

Our family number grew yet again! Not with people, but with pets. Another puppy. I am beginning to wonder what we’ve gotten ourselves into. We already have an 8-year-old, 70 pound Black Lab (Sadie), 2 Catahoula 15 week old puppies that are 26 and 32 pounds (Cheyenne and Dakota), and now we have a 5 or 6 week old Australian Shepard (Jenna). I feel so bad for our two cats (Chessy and Socks). They are out numbered. I totally live on a pet farm.

Jenna is so cute though. And she's a little less wild than the other two. I hope it stays that way.

LOTR

I never thought I’d live to see the day when my mother would watch the Lord of the Rings. Not only Lord of the Rings, but the EXTENED version! She doesn’t like a ton of violence. Anyway, this week end, my family watched all three extended versions of LOTR (Lord of the Rings.) Abby watched it too. She handled the movies quite well.

One thing that bugs me in the Two Towers is that Legolas’ eyes kept changing colors. One minute they’re blue, and the next they’re brown. For the whole movie! I’m not sure what was going on there.

End to End

Today has been quite the day. I painted with my little sister this morning and then this after noon I made paper. It made this cloudy blue paper that I plan to write a letter to my pen pal on. Jodi made pinky blue paper and Rachel, the same.

We saw a rainbow this evening when we got hit with a strong, but brief storm. We saw where it touched the ground. that is something you don’t see every day. I don’t think you can see it in the picture, but the rainbow is in front of the tree across the road. You could also see the whole ark end to end if you looked down the street. It was really cool

Oh yeah, Jodi is sleeping over and about 15 minutes ago, we finished painting some really nice pictures. I don't think I'll get any reading done tonight.

*Jumps for Joy*

I am done with that dance DVD project! Hooray! No more listening to ABC’s or songs that repeat the word “sexy” over and over again! I don’t know how many ppl know this, but there is a lot more to making a movie/DVD than just the filming. I think, and this is just from the stuff that I’ve been doing, that filming is the easiest part. And the part that takes the least amount of time. Let me tell you this...WRITING CREDITS TAKES FORVER!!!!!! If I were to take a job with a movie company, I would not want to be the one who writes the credits or the subtitles.

Hot *pant* I like it better when it’s hot outside than when it’s cold, but I’d rather have it be a nice, mid temp all the time. That is why I like fall best.

In God We Trust

What is it with people trying to get rid of God? Click this link to read about the New Dollar Coin. At first glance, this coin looks like any other gold dollar coin. At second glance, you notice that the words "In God We Trust" is no longer written on the coin. But if you look closely (see link for pictures) the words are still there, written on the edge. Hidden. Has it come to this that we have to hide what we believe in? Are we ashamed?
