Posted By Al
i need to get out of bed. im starting to hate the fact that i have a laptop, which means i can just be anywhere in the house and be on the computer. that sucks.
did i just say that?
i think im going to go jogging today. since nicole's sick and so we cant go to the gym. i really need the gym. im having gym with-drawls. i dont even know how thats possible because for the past forever ive been complaining about how much i hate the gym. but apparently i dont, since im having with-drawls. weird how your brain works like that, huh?
i think everyone who reads this should switch their browser over to http://www.playlist.com and listen to Far Away by Nickelback. its the song that makes my day. everyday.
oh, that quote that i posted way late last night, is amazing. haha. i just randomly started typing, and ended up with something along the lines of that, and then i just went back and fixed it because it made no sense. so once it made sense, i posted it. but its amazing. im kinda proud of myself.
this entry is getting long and full of nothingness. probably because its almost ten in the morning and im still lying in bed. hey, gimme a break. theres only two days left of school. i can do school tomorrow and wednesday if i choose too. or i could just go get it done now. i choose now.
all i want for christmas is you.

• Nov. 23, 2009 - Happy Thanksgiving to You!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Last week the Porch Team had some great posts for you on the subject of Thanksgiving. If you haven't read any of those yet, look in the archives and check them out! A few of them may have more to offer for this week.
Since November 1st I've seen a lot of posts about being thankful. Several bloggers have taken up a be thankful challenge where they have to list each day, the things they are thankful for. Here is a short list of my thankful fors:
- That Christ is King
- My family
- Taste buds
- A warm house
- Good friends
- New friends
- A cozy bed
- The Porch Team
- Homeschooling
- The bloggers here at HSB (Yes, you! I love the bloggers here at HSB, you have encouraged me, made me laugh, and taught me so many new things!)
Of course I'm thankful for much more but the list would go on for miles if I kept at it.
I pray that each of you will have safe travels this Thanksgiving weekend, that you will be a witness to all you spend time with, and that your hearts are full of the blessings that the Lord has given to you.
I can't wait to read your posts about how you spent the Thanksgiving weekend!

• Nov. 22, 2009 - frisbee & sunday morning fiascos.
Posted By Al
i might just pass out right now. oh my gosh im so tired. but its only because i was up all night watching the new star trek movie (which was amazing, btw) and then i had to get up early for church (which was amazing, btw), and then we played basketball and threw a frisbee around for like an hour and a half after church was over (which was amazing, btw). it was fun, though.
got to church, went out to the basketball court, and there he was. all the gorgeousness that makes him.. <3 UM.. K, anyway. I got my hugs, and then we watched everybody play basketball for like a half an hour. and we listened to Nickelback, and pretty much just hung out. and then in the middle of church the pastor was like.. "okay, i want anyone ages 11-20 to come up and stand next to me" so we all did.. and then he asked us what we were thankful for, and so in front of the whole congregation we had to tell him what we were thankful for. isaiah decided to crack a joke, so he was all "im thankful for you.", to the pastor. which made everyone laugh. i just said i was thankful for my family, because they're always there for me. so then he let us sit down, and we went back to whatever we were doing, and lael goes "im thankful for you" and it made me happy(: and then after church there was choir practice so we all just went back to the basketball court. and i didnt get home until like fifteen minutes ago, because choir practice ran longer then they thought it would. but i got to stay with shane, austin, allee, and bethany. and we just basically hung out and played basketball and threw a frisbee around for an hour and a half. and then it started pouring down rain, so we just went out and stood in it.. hah. life is good.
seriously though. i have so much to be thankful for. i have a roof over my head, i have food and water, i have clothes, i have a bed, i have family, i have friends, i have someone that truly cares about me and doesnt treat me like crap.. this has been a really good year. and im really thankful for that.
(*comment with what your thankful for?(: ) |

• Saturday, November 21, 2009 - NaNoWriMo Day 21
Posted By Alison
Just in case any of you thought I'd given up somewhere between Day 6 and Day 21... well, I haven't!
Word Count? 41,217!
To my dismay, I discovered that the word counter on Google Docs and the word counter on the NaNoWriMo website do not agree. And Google Docs, what I have been using, is the one with the higher count. So I'm not really sure which one's right, but it doesn't really matter, since it's only the NaNo counter one that guarantees winning status at the end of the month.
The writing is going super. I've written quite a bit today, mostly thanks to Bluejane -- the two of us have done several word wars. I did my first word war last night, and it's absolutely amazing!! Now I'm just feeling kinda disappointed that I was into the end of week 3 before I discovered them! I don't get tired out like I do just grinding away on my own. Thanks, Blue!
(She and I sorta have this competition going on over who can hit 50,000 words first. It shall be interesting to watch it unfold.)
Okay, I said the writing is going super. It is, but it is not going perfectly, lest you get that idea. I have several scenes that I think are pretty much pointless. But at least they are there, helping fill that progress bar. I can tell I'm getting close to the end of my novel, but I'm not sure how close. And I'm not exactly sure how it's going to end, either.
Hey, if you're a fellow Wrimo struggling with your word count, let me give you a quick hint. Write a scene telling the gospel in great detail. It accomplishes two things. First, anyone who reads your novel will hear how to be saved. And second, It really does wonders on your word count. I wrote a 1,609 word scene with the gospel as the central focus (not like it was all telling about Jesus, but mostly).
And of course, word wars do wonders, too. Throw in a character with a broken heart who can go on for a long time telling all her troubles. Have someone get kidnapped, betrayed, whatever. 
Just a few things I've learned this month.
Oh, and go congratulate Narniagirl -- she reached her goal of 25k last night!!! *throws confetti and sets off fireworks* |

• Nov. 20, 2009 - last day of fc3.
Posted By Al
last day of friday school was today. it was a good day, though. sam and i were trying to make the last day of friday school the best day of friday school. and we did! well, we tried. i think we succeeded.
calligraphy went pretty good, Mrs. L just let us hang out and pretty much do whatever because it was the last day and she didnt really prepare to bring anything, so she was just like "today you can do anything you want.. just dont mess up the classroom, or leave the classroom." so thats what we did.
and in web design i think i finally learned how to set up my website at home without the help of Jay, which is a good thing. because i was doubting that i would ever be able to figure it out and get it up and running.. but i did. mmmmhm. are you proud of me? im proud of myself. but we got out of web design late because my website suddenly like died and i had to get it all back up and running again and it took like twenty minutes, and plus the rest of the class was having trouble with their websites. so.. we got out like fifteen minutes late and the next class that was waiting for the room was mad at us. but whatever!
and in writer's workshop i showed up late, and with a donut in my hand, so the class wasnt very happy with me. but it was fun, and i got to learn alot about the people in the class that i didnt really know before. good thing? bad thing? i dont really know yet. but i got email addresses and phone numbers and addresses for snail mail, text, and email(: so thats something to be happy about.
but the rest of the day is going to suck. i havent been feeling good, and my computer keeps acting up ever since i downloaded some stupid thing called Oovoo that's supposed to be like chatting back and forth on a webcam - webchat. sorry. forgot. but like, i downloaded it before and then it messed up my computer and so i uninstalled it, but then i forgot and installed it again.. see how my brain works? um. yeah.

• Nov. 20, 2009 - Joy
Posted By Rachel
This morning I felt overwhelmed with joy. I realized how much God cares for us, right down to the smallest things. I wondered to myself, Why do I doubt? And I wrote this as a way of praising God and to share and show my joy.
Joy, Joy!
Peace, Security.
Why, Oh why have I ever doubted?
He is Lord! So mighty, All knowing
He loves as our Father, He knows what we need.
Our deepest desire He knows,
Our biggest longing He hears.
Praise and Glory to Him!
Our Lord who knows us,
Our Father who cares.
Thank you God.

• Nov. 20, 2009 - Featured Blogger ~ AmandaBennett
Why blogging is so great reason #5,287: You get to meet some of your favorite homeschool celebrities without having to attend a conference! Amanda Bennett has been blogging here at HSB ever since it started back in 2005. Blogging builds good business, but it also builds good relationships, and Amanda is very friendly and relational.
You may think that the author of numerous unit studies has her life perfectly organized and that all of her science experiments turn out with nary a problem. Not so! Even Amanda learns from her homeschool lessons.
This Christmas will be a meager one for many families. Yet we can still make it special. The first step is remembering what it is that makes the season so important to us, aside from Christ, it's family. Amanda shares a story about a tough Christmas she had as a little girl. Be sure to also read Christmas: A Study of Love.
As this week, and next, we are talking about Thanksgiving I thought this post, Thanksgiving Learning--Gratitude? would be of interest to you.
Next week there won't be a new Featured Blogger, so you get two whole weeks to explore Amanda's blog and wish her tidings of comfort and joy! (Such greetings aren't just for Christmas!)
