~"*"~"*"~(((***/// FaNcY tItLe \***)))~"*"~"*"~

School again. :P  All our activities are starting full swing this week so we're back into school. For any of you adults who want to know (I've been asked this a hundred times already by various homeschooling moms, I'm using Teaching Textbooks math, Apologia science, Wordsmith Craftsman English, Latin Primer Latin, and Sonlight Core 7 for history. I like all of it. And I'm in grade 10. XD

Anywayyy...as if any of you would be interested... these are the books I read this summer.

Shakespeare's Scribe, by Gary Blackwood

Shakespeare's Spy, by Gary Blackwood

The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Red Velvet, by Sandra Byrd

The Warrior Heir, by Cinda Williams Chima

The Skull of Truth, by Bruce Coville

The Postcard, by Beverly Lewis

The Crossroad, by Beverly Lewis

Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze, by Elizabeth Foreman Lewis

The Moorchild, by Eloise McGraw

The Yearling, by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

Redeeming Love, by Francine Rivers

Mystery of the Roman Ransom, by Henry Winterfield

I was hoping to get more done...but whatever. Every Friday evening from 4:30-8:00 Mom, Meg and I are working at GBS. Mom and I work the cash mostly, and tidy up upstairs and help people out. Meagan has been mostly in the basement sorting out toys and stuff. This is my 4th year volunteering at that thrift shop. :)  Everyone always asks me if I'm volunteering for my community hours - at the thrift shop and at the retirement home - and then I have to explain that I'm homeschooled and I don't have to do that stuff. :P  Needless to say, with volunteering at the thrift shop for going on 4 years and at the retirement home for a year and a half now, I'm sure I've put in more than my share of "community hours"!

This Friday at the thrift shop was seriously the busiest it's ever been while I was working there. There was a bag sale...go figure. Fill a bag for six dollars. Last year when we worked on Saturdays, bag sales weren't that bad because we were usually on the last day of it. But this past time it was the first day of the bag sale. And we had a constant stream of people at the cash register. It was crazy! We had to eat supper in shifts and even then we had to stop half way through to help out at the cash! It was fun though. :)  And somehow I found some time to look through the books. Since we started volunteering there this year I've been looking through the books and picking out any good ones. I'm starting my own collection. :)  I've found some really really good ones there. It takes a while to look through them all (99% of the books there are crappy romance novels) but it's worth it.

Yay! I'm happy school's in again. I'm having a lot of fun with the thrift shop and I can't wait for these activities coming up, and I don't mind my schoolwork either. Plus, I looooove autumn, it's like my favourite time of year. And the leaves are just starting to change colour.

This picture is from like two years ago...but I still like it. :P  Over and out.

Hail stones keep falling on my head...

So, for our lack of snow last winter, God decided to make it up to us this summer. On July 22, in some areas around here there was actual snow on the ground - no joke. It goes to show you that anything is possible in Canada, as far as weather is concerned anyway.

We've been having the weirdest, craziest weather around here lately. On and off for the last few weeks he've been having hailstorms and sunny days. Usual it's half and a half...you'll look outside, and half the sky will be bright blue and the other half dark rain clouds. It's just really, really strange.

A couple of days ago we had this insane hailstorm. It started raining really hard at first around 5 o'clock, and half way through supper (6 o'clock) it started hailing and the electricity went off. And this hail was huge - some as wide as my fingernails and as thick around as my pinkey. I had put a cup outside when it started raining, to see how fast it would fill up (:P I know I'm weird), well now I had ice water! xD  But seriously, the streets were flooding and plants were drowning, and Mom's wood chips from her garden were floating all around the back yard. (direct quote from Mom: "MY WOOD CHIPS!!!")  Lightning flashed right in the neighbour behind us's yard, and it was LOUD! - Mom's head was pounding 5 minutes afterwards, apparently. It was pretty cool though. XD  For a moment the whole room just looked like this :P :

Living around the corner from the hospital, sirens aren't an unusual sound at all, but we heard about 5 sirens within 45 minutes, which is needless to say more than usual. The newspaper said that that evening there was 9 accidents - most of them, I think, they said were due to trees falling on houses and cars, but they said that there was one car accident that was related to the weather, and there was a lot of flooding on the QEW which caused problems as you can imagine. :P  Anyway, it all ended by about 7:30.

This really reminds me of what Hurricane Katrina was like, I mean the leftovers we got up here in Ontario. With the crazy raining and thunder and lightning, and all the accidents. The only difference is that it's not really windy at all, and it was REALLY windy with the hurricane leftovers.

I don't know what's up with this crazy weather or when it's going to stop. Today, I went to help with BINGO as I usually do on Fridays, and when I left it was as hot and sunny as anything. When I got out an hour and a half or so later, there were all dark rainclouds. Just as I got home it started to pour. Right now the sky is at that half and half.

I kinda wish God would save the snow for winter! ;)

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark."

I stayed up late watching Hamlet last night, with my gingerale and my ketchup rice cakes. ^.^  I actually only watched the first video - there are two of them, and they last two hours each (apparently, but this tape seemed to last longer than two hours to me - but maybe that's because I paused a few times...I don't know). It was good, and I'm thankful I've read the story of Hamlet and parts of the play, or else I would have no idea what was going on for most of it. :P  But now I have quotes from the play stuck in my head.

"To be or not to be, that is the question."

~~

This is cute, lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozXwG-bAf1k&NR=1  Check it out! I think that it's so cool that Christian's "wife" would come right up to them, because Christian trusts them I guess that's enough for her.

Also, check out the clothes they're wearing, lol. The bell bottoms and the shaggy hair. XDD  Ah well, as my dad once told me, "Kristen, we will not speak of the 70's. We will not think of the 70's. We will pretend as though the 70's never existed." I bet in 40 years I'll be laughing at the stuff we wear nowadays. I can totally picture myself laughing at the whole emo trend. Hey, I already laugh at the whole emo trend.

Anyway, there's a little update from me. :P

"'Tis brief, my lord."

"As woman's love."

Titleless

I can't believe that summer is more than half over. It seems like it just started. The only thing we really did this summer was go to Chesley Lake, like we do every year. Last year, not only did we go to Chesley we went to the Island too, and the lot, not to mention we visited a huge bunch of people and did a huge bunch of stuff. This summer we're just kind of chillin out. :P  I'm not complaining - it just has a different feel from last summer. And by this time last summer, I already felt like I'd had my summer's worth of stuff to do. Not this year. But we still have a whole month in front of us, and some stuff planned for it, so it's good. I'm glad summer isn't over YET!

Mom said that it's okay we aren't doing much this summer, because we're going to have a busy school year next year. Which sounds great. I love being busy, just so long as it doesn't cause me to get behind on my schoolwork. :P One thing I'm NOT doing in the fall is piano lessons. Ger's not taking guitar lessons either. We're just going to continue on our own, and then maybe next year take up lessons again. This sounds fine with me. No offense to my past teachers, but I really think I can learn a whole lot more on my own. In other words, they underestimated my skill. ;) I'm pretty sure Mom and Dad are going to get a curriculum for me, but for now I'm just practicing out of Dad's Simon and Garfunkel book. :P I'm driving myself and everyone else nuts learning Feelin' Groovy, lol. I can't wait to get some new stuff to learn. :P

I'm pretty sure Meagan's going to continue her drum lessons next year though, because she's just starting. I've been taking piano for three years, and Gerrit's been playing guitar for four years, but Meagan just took up drum lessons in September. She's become really good, though. I get a kick out of seeing her sitting at her "throne", with her backwards baseball cap, baggy T-shirts and pop tab necklace. That girl is definitely her own person...

Speaking of pop tabs :P, I think Meagan probably has collected about a thousand now. I'm not even kidding. I have no idea when she started collecting them, probably about a year ago. But seriously..it's like they're overflowing. Wherever you go in the house, it's like there's this jar or container of pop tabs sitting there. At Chesley Lake, Meg picked up a ton more pop tabs with Jessie and Alana, out of the recycling I think. Julia and I were stringing them onto her chain, and we couldn't even fit them all on. Now, I wonder how many necklaces ALL her tabs would fill up? I'm pretty sure Meagan's planning to donate them all towards diabetes. Apparently there's this place that will sell tabs to be recycled, and then use the money they make towards diabetes research. I'm not sure if it's just juvenile diabetes or not. I think it's a cool idea. I wonder how much money they'll make off of all Meagan's pop tabs.

Mom and Dad devised this plan to help them keep the house clean and to help us earn some money: Mom writes down chores that need to be done on little slips of paper, along with the amount of money we can earn by doing each chore. I think they're all between $2 and $5. If we want a chore, we take it and put it into a little container with our name on it, then we have to finish the chore by the end of the day. When we do, Mom and Dad will sign it and we can turn it in when we need money. I haven't taken advantage of this at all yet, I think Gerrit has done a couple of them, but Meagan is like some hardcore money maker now. lol. She constantly has some kind of chore on the go, and I don't even know what she's saving up for. Probably Webkinz. Or maybe she just wants to have a lot of money or something. I know she used some of the money she's making to buy presents for Jessie and Alana. Right now, she's organizing the movies - has been for the past three days or so. And for the past three days, there have been videos and DVDs lying ALL OVER the living room. I didn't even know we HAD so many movies. The place is completely trashed. I hope she finishes soon...lol.

Speaking of movies (:P), Mom found this bag or something with a ton of movies in it at GBS. I don't remember all the movies that were in there, but there was a ton. The whole Anne of Green Gables series was in there, along with Alice in Wonderland, Pocahontas and a bunch of other ones. I don't know if it was in the bag with the other movies, but she also picked up Hamlet there. There are probably tons of Hamlet movies :P. This one is a two video set and it lasts like, four hours all together. We haven't watched any of it yet. We're reading the Shakespeare Stealer series now (I think I mentioned the first book awhile ago), so I think that's why she got it. It looks good though, I can't wait to watch it.

Mom rented The Spiderwick Chronicles the other day:

It was great, so now I want to read the books. The books HAVE to be amazing, if the movie was really good. I mean, come on - there are tons of crappy movies based off of good books, but I never heard of a good movie based off a crappy book before. Besides, Alana keeps on going on about how good the books are, and besides the fact that Alana likes Animorphs and I don't (90's!) and Warrior Cats, and I don't (okay, I've never read the books...but they seem kind of strange) we have more or less the same taste in books. And I love fantasy. If I can't find these books at the library, maybe I can get Alana to lend them to me. :)

Anyway, I have to go. There's your little update on my life. :P
