Yes, it seems like lately all I have been posting about is contest, haircuts, more contests, more haircuts.  This cabin fever is nuts!  We can barely get outdoors because of global warming!  :)

Yesterday I worked out in the yard, it was beautiful out!  Today, it has done everything from rain, sleet, snow and back again.  Weird, weird weather.  (Weird = Normal here in this geometrically shaped state!)

Let's see; I haven't been doing much blogging lately, just too busy with the chickens, the kids, (not necessarily in that order) um, the computer giving me FITS, and sundry other craziness going on here. 

I am utterly bummed (someone please enlighten me if there is an updated word for that, ok?) that my friend from TN isn't going to come to my state homeschool convention this year as a representative for Rosetta Stone.  Can't believe that.  Shoot. That would have been worth the trip!  (Just joking, no reflection on the awesome conference.) 

In other news, we now have a permitted driver in the house.  Well, you know, in the car, except the car is broken down and I have to convince her that it wasn't  cursed by the Lord just so she can't scare the living daylights out of us...again.  :)  Heh, heh.  You know, she will NEVER read this blog because she has some kind of magnetic element to her physiology, and all she has to do is LOOK at a computer and it will blow a ...whatever computers blow.  (She is really good on the computer and has done some fabulous projects, but prefers stuff like spinning.  Not a lot of tech-support needed for her hobbies.)

Actually, as far as the driving is concerned, she is doing fabulous.  Only 40 more hours of daylight driving to go!  I personally have no recollection whatsoever of ever driving with my parents when I had my permit.  I must have blocked it from my memory.  Or it never happened.  Hmmmmm.  And the funny thing is that I did indeed pass my drivers test, and have over three decades of driving history to prove it and only accident to my name, knock on wood.  And, that was in someone elses car.  (Never, EVER borrow someone elses car when you have only been drving for 3 weeks.)  You can bet I am emphasizing THAT rule.  Never.  Ever.

Gee Whiz, this is about the worst rambling blog post ever.  I can't wait to get my brain back in gear and make some sense for you all!  We had some friends over for a visit and we got in the silliest conversation about this "stuff" we had back when we were kids called "Incrediblie Edibles" and "Creepul People" and something else about flowers...now I forgot.  :(  But the funny thing was the stuff it was made of was called "plasti-goop" and I had forgotten about that completely, but our dear friends reminded me and we all thought "What were our parents thinking!!??"  What was that stuff anyhow?

Memories~  Ha! Ha!  We conjured up all kinds of tidbits that were buried yet became "debrained" for whatever reason.  Isn't that crazy when you start remembering things that you haven't thought of in probably over 40 years?  Yup, I be that old.  This is dating me big time, but oh well.  My avatar hides the wrinkles well.  This other memory popped up of the time I wanted an EZ-Bake Oven for Christmas or something.  I didn't get one, I got something else.  That story is so silly, that I will HAVE To save it for my next rambling, meaningless mentally challenging blog entry.  I bet you will be holding your breath and losing sleep until I post again!

Happy Homeschooling~
