Depletion

I have been looking over the books I have read this year and discovered something horrible. As of now, I've only read 25 this year. That might not exactly sound like a bad thing, but for me it is considering I read 101 last year, 92 the year before that and 70 the year before that!

Grant it, this year I took two college classes in the spring, graduated high school, had a friend stay for two weeks this summer and my family has been trying to move. Also, I have no access to the books I truly want to read and have been making do with others. I know it's only august, but I still feel a bit miffed by the lack of books on my list. This year, if I make it to 50 books, I will have accomplished something.

why is a raven like a writing desk?

Sort of not doing anything right now. figured I'd update this old thing. I don't know if there is really a point to it when only one or two people read it...

So........Why is a raven like a writing desk?
Because Poe wrote on both I suppose?
Because the notes for which they are noted are not noted for being musical notes?
Because there is a B in both and an N in neither?
Who knows?

I Is Now a Graduate =D

So now I am a graduate. YAY! I kept getting questions like “Are you nervous? Are you nervous?” Honestly, I wasn’t. After Pride and Prejudice, Graduating was a walk in the park! I mean, all I had to do was put on this blue tent and stick a square slab of cardboard on my head. Yes, I know it’s called a Cap and Gown. I don’t care. To me, it’s Cardboard and Tent. Tee Hee.

Anyway, you walk in there, sit down, stand up, sit down, stand up, get the diploma, switch the tassel from left to right and walk out. Ta da! All done. You want to talk about easy?

The reception on the other hand is another story. It was so loud in there! There were way to many people stuck in too small a place. It was kind of stuffy too. Everyone was talking and people kept saying “congratulations, congratulations” and All I could think to say was “Thank You”. I started sounding like a broken record I tell you! Each graduate got a dish of candy from the Homeschool Group leaders. The only probable was no one thought to wrap it in plastic and put our names on it. Rebekah and I shared a table and Neither of us were able to eat any of our candy. She’s got little siblings and I’ve got siblings and a lot of little cousins. I am a little more mad about that than I should be. But I like candy! And I didn’t get ANY! Oh well...

*Pouts*

It does not feel like May. May should be nice, warm and sunny, not cold and cloudy. I mean, I'd be happy with the clouds if they actually did something. But they just sit there. no rain or nothing.

So dear May, please warm up a bit? Please?

Oh Yes, Happy Mother's Day people!

How to Shut Up Your Brain 101

The answer to this question is getting something else stuck in it. or stare at a grass blade for hours and think of nothing else. It's never worked for me, but who knows, might work for you.

I always have some kind of music piece stuck in my head. whether it's classical, soundtrack, one of my favorite songs at the moment or some annoying little ditty from my childhood. there is ALAWAYS something stuck in my head. I wish sometimes i could figure out how to turn off that mental CD player stuck on repeat. Bother.

Spring's Here

My Brother is off on a bike ride and our dog Dakota won't stop howling. It's getting kind of annoying. Never mind, it was Cheyenne.

But to get down to business. I'm so happy spring is here again. Time to put away the flannel sheets and pull out the flip-flops! YAY! I should probably start packing away some of my winter coats. I'm going to have to leave a few out though because of how much the temperature fluxuates here. It's hot outside right now, but it might be very cold later. You just never know...
