It's Fall already!

I sure miss the summer, and today has been cold and rainy. I don't mean to be a complainer, but I prefer much more the hot weather.
Well, it's the end of another week. That's nice. Course, the only problem is that as soon as one week ends another starts up. *sigh* Thus is the pains of a student. I keep catching myself thinking how great it'll be when this school year is over. Oh well, I'm supposed to be content at every time in life, so I guess that also includes the season of the year too, so I'll stop my griping.
Oh! Jesse and I went in together and bought the Chronicles of Narnia Radio Theater of Focus on the Family!! We've listened to The Magicians Nephew, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, and part of The Horse and His Boy. It's really cool. I'm a Narnia fan so I really like it. I heard that it took them six years to produce it. There's also supposed to be a movie coming out on December 9.

"Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!"

Don't ya'll remember that song we used to sing as little kids at Camp? I still sing it! I'll be going around the house clapping and singing "Happy, Happy....". It's especially interesting to do when Jesse is grumpy. :) I usually get a mean look and then am asked to please stop, go figuire. I also like to sing that "O be joyful, O be jubilant put your sorrows far away" song. It's so much fun to sing and it makes me feel better when I'm sad. Course, it gets on a certain sibling's nerves when I get really hiper, and start singing and going nuts.
Well, I guess you can probably guess that things are going swell today. Yesterday was a different story. We had to take my Dad to work and so we had to get up early and then stay in Lubbock for my math lesson and Mom' s doctor visit. I was quite worn out by the time we reached home. I feel much better now. :)

Errr...Torturous Math!!!

I sure had a hard time in math today. It really made my school day a lot longer and it was rather frustrating. I just keep thinking that this year is my last year of math!!! Oh, but that the end of the year would come soon!!!! Math is definately not my favorite subject, that's for sure. I rather like history or literature better. Grammar is annoying, but bearable. French is fun, except for all the quizes and tests. Parlez-vous francais? J'aime le francais. C'est tres tres bien!!!

It's hot

Whew! It sure was hot today. It must have been in the 90s. Thankfully, it wasn't that bad during church even though we don't have air conditioning. We do have coolers and fans though. I could really tell it was incredibly hot when I kinda burned my feet running across the car port. :P *Yikes! Jumps into the garage where the cement's cool* I know, it sounds stupid, but I like to run around bare foot. Course, I don't do it in the winter. I'm not that stupid. Course, I wonder what it feels like....hmmm....just kiddin'. :D
I don't believe we will be getting any rain from Rita thanks to a cold front. It's going to block it from giving us any rain. Course, there still is a small chance of us getting rain, but enough to be of any significance.
Boy, I sure have been glad to have Dublin Dr. Pepper handy the past few weeks. Justin had brought up a flat of them a couple of months ago, but Mom wouldn't let us touch them unless we were sick. By the way, drinking Dr. Pepper when you're feeling bad is really good. Mom, who doesn't like DP, will even drink it when she's feeling bad. So drink it! It works!!! :) Anyway, I've been able to drink it more often because my math class in Lubbock starts at 11:30 and ends at 12:30, and we live about an hour from there, so we have to pack a lunch. So guess what we get to drink? DP, of course!!! Boy, that stuff is good!!!

"Saturday, What a Day...."(Happy Days)

Yay it's Saturday!!! "Celebrate, Celebrate, come on and celebrate!"(commercial) I got my chores done, and I think I am going to make those oatmeal cookies! :D I haven't made them in a while, and if Jesse doesn't want them he can eat his oreos. :P Besides, I haven't made them in a long while and I kinda have a craving. :D
The only problem with the weekend is that it ends! I think Monday is my least favorite day of the week. I seem to usually have a long day of school the first day of the week. Well, anyway, not to bore you. I'm sure this is not my most interesting post, but, oh well.
Well, hurricane Rita made landfall early this morning. I hope my older brother whose in College Station is okay. I have a friend who lives in Houston and I wonder if she got out okay. I don't think we'll be getting any rain from it, though. They have about 800 evacuees(did I spell that right?) in Lubbock.
Well, I'm really sorry if I bored you with this post. I don't really have anything just really interesting going on. Course, I could talk to you about my Calculus homework, but I think you'd probably just leave this blog never to return.

Hmmm...oatmeal cookies?

Howdy! I'm right now wondering if I ought to make some oatmeal raisin cookies this weekend. I'll have to think some more on it because I don't know if my Dad and little brother would eat them. :/ Speaking of weekend, I'm so glad it's finally here. The weekend is so great! It's every student's joy!!! This week actually hasn't been too bad(I probably say that because I got a little impromtu break from Calculus :D).
I heard that Al Gore is thinking seriously of running for president again in '08. Rush was saying that he was trying to act like Nixon. Another words, Nixon supported Goldwater and because of that he gained support that helped him win in '68. Gore supported Howard Dean, and because of that he's hoping to gain support from Dean's supporters and others. We all know how questionable Dean's sanity is, so I really don't think it'll help him much, it'll probably hinder him more than anything, especially with Hillary running. I can still hear Dean's scream(HaHa) I'll never forget that!!! :D Does anyone know who all is going to run in '08 on the conservative side of things?
Hmmm....what shall I do this afternoon? I think I'll go do some cleaning work for a friend of mine who owns a fossil museum. He's a sixty-year-old bachelor that kinda forgets to clean the front. Oh well, at least I'll get some more cash to stick into the savings account. So I guess I ought to go get my bike out pretty soon and ride over there. Hopefully, I won't hurt anyone on the way. Course, I have the right of way, but it seems that many drivers kinda forget that, and I almost got hit once.

Today

Today sure has so far gone well. Mom is going to the knee doctor today and it will be decided what exactly will be done to repair her knee and when. She's gone through two foot surgeries and is now going to go through this pretty soon. She still keeps a smile on her face though.
Hmmm...I finished school kinda early and I'm trying to decide what to do this afternoon. I probably need to work on a few of my ever growing projects. I have about four projects always going at the same time. I probably need to make some headway on at least one. One of the sisters at church showed me this new stitch to put on some pillowcases I made, and she asks me about every time I see her if I've finished them yet.
Did you hear about the former president of the N.A.G.S. dying? They had something about it on the Rush Limbaugh show. I sure hope she repented before meeting her final judgement. Oh, heavens what is this country coming to when we honor someone who yelled about how mad she was and encouraging lawlessness.

Rather Concerned

We found out yesterday that a hate crimes bill was passed on the sly. This hate crimes bill would make it illegal to speak out against homesexuality. This, of course, greatly concerned us and we had a word of prayer on behalf of our nation. You can find out more about it by going to http://www.citizenlink.org
It sure is sad to see the way this country is headed. I've always enjoyed studying American History and I often catch myself longing for the days when God and his grace were talked about as often as we talk about the weather. But I cannot allow myself to do that. God put me in this time for a purpose, and I am to be content. I may not know that purpose, but my heavenly Father does!!!
Well, my day does seem to be going well, by the way. School wasn't too bad. I can't wait for summer even though school just started a couple of weeks ago.

A Blessed Sunday

Boy, today sure went well. We really had a good crowd at our church and our pastor preached wonderfully out of the book of John. It's funny how often John 3:16 is taken out of context by so many people these days. I also enjoyed being able to visit with a friend I hadn't seen in a while who came to church today. The weather was also fine today and pleasant. Hmmm...I wonder what I'll have for dinner...
