I have an old tag that I made up that I felt like answering.........so here we go!

1. What do you feel like right now? Ummm....my feet are extremely cold and I have a slight headache.

3. What do you hear? My fingers typing this, my mom washing dishes (our dishwasher broke!!! And I have to do dishes every night!), the dryer vent thing blowing outside and my little sister saying "Mom, look! I traced it!"

4. What are you wearing? I denim looking teired skirt that goes right above my ankles and a peachy pinkish t-shirt...

5. How is your hair done? In a ponytail that looks really sloppy. 

6. Are your nails painted? Nope....I bite them too much to paint them. *blush*

7. What did you eat last? Ummmmmm.....I forget.  Oh yeah, a hot dog

8. Where was the last place you went? In my house or in the car?  The last place in my house was the "family room" and the last place was the feed mill for straw.

9. Reach your hand to the left-what did you touch?  nothing

10. What book did you last read? Violet's Perplexing Puzzles...I read it in like less then 3 hours.

Honestly, I don't like my new haircut.  It has I think 3 layers in it and I miss my hair!  My cut off hair that is now probably in a dumpster somewhere.  I love it in a ponytail, but when I have it down, the top layer gets in my face and when I put it behind my ear, it like goes around my chin.  It's just annoying and I used to be able to push it back behind my shoulders and it stayed there and now I can hardly DO that!!  I keep asking myself "why, why, why did I DO this?"  becuase my original plan was to get it all one length (which I accomplished) and let it grow really long (which I didn't accomplish) and cut it off to about above my shoulderblades to donate to Locks of Love or something.  I don't know why I let my mom talk me into it.  It took my 2 years to accomplish what I did accomplish, and now I'll be like 17 or 18 before I get to accomplish what I started doing. :(  I'm really upset.  Well whatever......

I have a question: Do you think I should make a new blog with a new title and all?  I mean a new username. :)  I was thinking LauraHalfPint or something cuter than LauraE67.  It's kinda boring.  Do you have any ideas anyone?? HELP!!!!!!                IDEAS!!!!!            IDEAS!!!

Well I got to go get the mail and do aome other things, too...........if any of you have any ideas, let me know PLEASE!  And if you only can answer my question (about starting a new one in the first place) Thanks a lot!

Laura

Hey!  Guess what?  My grandma and grandpa are coming here for Thanksgiving!!  They live about 13 hours away from us, so we never get to see them.  I saw my grandma at the beach this year, but them coming to our house is even more exciting!  My sister just informed me that there are 105,000 people in the Ohio State football stadium.  Their game with Michigan State is on now and she just told me that and I have no idea why.......but anyway, my dad is going deer hunting right now!  I hope he gets the big buck down in the woods! 

We also went to our neighbor's house today and saw his pigeons.  They're homing pigeons and they're SO cute!  One of them was 17 years old!  My dad said we might be able to get some from him soon. That was all and I gotta go now......bye bye!

Laura

Today my mom, sisters and I all got our hair cut.  I got supposedly only an inch cut off of mine, but it seems more than that. :(  I got  layers and it looks okay, but it makes it look more wavy and I liked it straight!  It looks really cute in a ponytail like it is now, but when it's down it's just different I guess.  Hopefully I'll get used to it.  When I can get my sister to take a picture of it, I'll post a before and after picture.  The lady who cuts our hair said I have fly aways because my hair is curly.  The only reason it's not curly now is becuase it's so long and heavy, the weight pulls out the curls.  If it was really short, it would be really curly. :l

I also took some gorgeous pictures today that I thought I'd share.  The trees here are gorgeous and especially looking at the woods....well......that I can't even explain how pretty!  I am sorry there are so many, but there are so many that are too pretty to not put on here and let someone else smile at them!  The wind felt so good and the weather is gorgeous.  It's exactly like fall how I want it to be. Here they are!  Captions are above the pictures.

This is part of our yard, and that big dirt pile is the dirt we used for our garden boxes this year.  We got them ready for next year. 

This is the same part but it's closer up.  Aren't these gorgeous so far?

This is the cornfield behind this chicken house.  We can see it from the house because our house is built unto a hill and we can see above the chicken house.  We always see white tailed deer at the back of this cornfield when it's harvested and when soybeans are planted there.

The same cornfield only with the sun shining on the whole thing.  In the last one it was only shining on the trees way back there.

A maple tree that turned red.  My dad says because of the drought, the leaves will turn brighter colors easier.

The woods......

This is supposedly a creek and it is, but unfortunatly there's not water in it from the drought.  If ther was, we would have swam in that all summer!  It is REALLY deep.

here's the same "creek" only this is where it starts.

See my shadow in the picture?

The same ditch again......I thought it was pretty, though.

Some cornstalks blowing in the wind.  Sorry looking cornstalks.  Usually they are still part way green!  But because of the drought.......

I hope you enjoyed the pictures.  I gotta go help make dinner now.  We're having ham & green beans.  Ham-yum. Green beans-not so yum.  Oh yeah, tomorrow we might go to The Cheesecake Factory AGAIN for my cousin's 18th birthday.  He lives in the capital city of our state, and that's about an hour away from us, so we don't get to see him very often.  He has a little sister who is 8 and obviously his mom and dad are my mom's sister and brother-in-law.  So hopefully we get to go, not becasue we get more sweet stuff, but because we'll get to see them again.  The last time we saw them was in April at my aunt's funeral.  Nice way to see someone again.......so anyway I really have to go now.  And tomorrow night is when we might go if my dad says it's okay even if he doesn't want to go.  He has hard work to do this week for a business presentation or something next week.

Laura

I have 2 birthday announcements to make.............

Yesterday was my friend, Michelle's birthday and she's 15 now and I was supposed to have her a pair of pajama pants for her, but the'yre not done yet!!!

Today is my cousin, Alex's, birthday.  He's 18 I think.....I forget.  Happy birthday, Alex!

Guess what?  My mom said I'm allwoed to post pictures of me and my sister on here!  Here they are!

Here's my sister!!!!

Here's me!!!

These are my cards from my card game earlier.  Aren't they neat????  I got the green ones and my sister got the pink ones.  Those are 2 decks of cards mixed together.  My sister got them at a wedding shower that I didn't go to.

Here's our tall deck of cards!

And here is the cutie pie Fred on top of our bookshelf.

"Hmmmm.....which book should I read???" 

Aren't the pictures of Fred adorable?

Bye bye...............................

Laura

Hey!  I'm eating popcorn right now!  Okay, like any of you REALLY care?  Honestly, I am scatterbrained and.....well....just plain....uhh....weird!  Oh yeah, I have a few prayer requests....

1. My uncle (mom's brother) and I would probably get grounded from the computer if I said why

2. My other uncle-my dad's uncle-for his knee.  He had a total knee replacement and we hope he'll be better by the time Thanksgiving comes so they can come here....they live about 5 hours away.

3. My friend (sewing advisor) who is on a trip.  She'll be gone for 2 weeks and the prayer request is that her truck doesn't break down.  It's done that quite a few (actually, more than a few) times.

4. My friend's brother (SimplyMe's brother) and if you want to know why, go to her blog.

I think that is all of them....oh and stop by my friend's mom's blog, Bethelbrook, and congratulate her.  She's pregnant with her 8th child!  Well I think I better go now.  I have to go and make some more popcorn.......it goes fast in this house!  I think the kitten gets about 1/4 of it!  My little sister feeds the kitty stuff. :)

Laura

Yesterday was our homeschool group roller skating.  But unfortunatly, my skates were too small and I couldn't skate. :(  But my mom said we'd go to Dick's in the mall and see if they had any and we were just about to leave becuase we saw they didn't have any where they used to be.  But then a lady came up and said "Can I help you?" And my mom told her what we were looking for, so then she came back and said "we do have roller blades.  They were moved to the fitness section, not footwear."  I was SO glad!  I got a new pair that are the brand Rollerblade and they're sort of like a gym shoe in a way but they're not.  They're mulberry colored, silver and black. 

The weather is SO cold!  First it was 90 degrees and then it suddenly cooled down to 45!  It's pretty cold.  We have our heat on now.  Last night our electricity went out.  It was sort of freaky.  I was just about asleep when I woke up to hear my sister crying and it was just scary because the only light I could see was the security light in the hall, so I thought maybe only some of it went out.....until I tried turning on the light switch in the kitchen. 

Well that's all for now.  I hope you all have a great weekend. I probably won't be posting this weekend.  And if I do, I guess you'll all be surprised!  I'm gonna go and rollerblade a bit and get the mail......hopefully it's here!  I wouldn't want to ride down the driveway for nothing!  It's too long of a ride!

But I am bored.  And I'm sure you are, too for reading this.  This is probably as boring as I am.  But anyway.....

I can't find an avatar that suites me!  I keep looking and looking and looking.  I've even tried doing things that I love.  Like kittens, cats, Little House on the Prairie......I JUST can't find one!  So I'll be changing back and forth probably every day-or depending on how often I can get on, every day.  And what mood I'm in. :)

I cannot believe how hot it is!  I might be able to have a pool party for my birthday!  My birthday is on November 14.  THAT would be awesome.  I've always wanted to have a pool party for my birthday.  Mainly because me and my friend used to live almost right next to each other, and we'd borrow Mary-Kate and Ashley videos from our local library.  We were always singing their songs, and one of them is about a pool party, so we both wished we could have a pool party for our birthdays.  And since I had the pool she'd have her party at my house with all of her friends.  :)  I still have a pool now, but it was just put in last year.  So anyway I was influenced by Mary Kate and Ashley and my friend, who now lives in Georgia.  And her birthday is in May, so she could have had a pool party.  Anyway why am I talking about my 6 year old life?  Bye bye for now........

Okay, as I said in my last post, Melissa Gilbert is still in our state, but as I said also in my last post, I most likely wouldn't get to meet her, and I didn't. :(  Well actually I sitll have like....let me see......until tomorrow afternoon, but I doubt it.  Speaking of tomorrow, I am not looking foward to tomorrow.  I WAS, but then when my dad said out of the blue "There's no mail on Monday!" then I decided I won't like tomorrow.  I was expecting 2 letters tomorrow....2 that I KNOW would've been there if it weren't for whatever day my dad said it was.  I forget. :)  And right now I am trying to renew some of my sister's library books on my card, and the stupid library site won't load!  I get so tired of their site.  It takes FOREVER to renew something.  There!  It loaded finally. 

Earlier when I went out to take care of my chickens, I came in to the office and checked my email.  I came back out and.....viola!  There was my happy mother washing dishes.  NOT.  There was my grumpy mother washing the dishes.  I don't know what's gotten into my mom and dad today,  but I woke up hearing to riding mower fly by my bedroomwindow (which isn't unusual) and then after I got out of the shower, my dad come inside, asked for a cup of coffee, then the next second her was ut the door again flying by on his riding mower and my mom said "Girls, I don't care what you do today." Then my sister asked if she could get on the computer and my mom said "I said I don't care what you do today.  You can be on all day for all I care," Well at least now she's being herself and....BLOWING THE LEAVES OFF OF ONE OF OUR DECKS AGAIN!!!!!!!  She just did that...ummmm....Thursday I think. 

It's been EXTREMELY hot here.  We turned our a/c back on thank goodness!  It was getting to the point where you couldn't even breathe.  The house was a mess becuase everybody said they were too hot and sweaty to be working, and so my mom had enough of it and turned on the a/c.  I am SO thinkful for out cloudy pool even if the a/c IS on. 

Well I think I've covered enough for now.  Every tie I write on this thing, I always have TOO much to say.  What do you think?

Hey out there!  Guess what? Melissa Gilbert is coming to my state! (I'm not allowed to say where)  But the only problem is that it's about an hour away from us. :(  I wish I could meet her!  Actually, she's here already.  She'll be here until Monday, and what is SO funny is that me and my 2 little sisters have been joking around saying "Oh look out the window!"  and then you say "It's Melissa Gilbert!"  It is so funny!  And then my little sister keeps saying "Maybe she'll surprise us by stopping by before she leaves!" But she has no clue who I am!  Actually once I did write her a letter, but didn't get a response. :( THAT would've been cool.  Well anyway.....

Last night we went out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory for my sister's birthday.  She's 10.......go wish her a happy birthday on her blog, MAI.  Well The Cheesecake Factory is at this really cool shopping mall that's outdoors, and it's almost like a little city.  There's apartments, office buildings, restaurants, shopping and even police riding on electric scooters.  It is really neat.  So anway there's a Vera Bradley (the cool quilted purses) store there and I got a Vera Bradley purse!  It's turquoise and brown and it's so pretty!  My grandma got it for me instead of for my birthday since she's not been feeling well and I guess she's afraid she might............*gulp*..........pass away before my birthday or be too sick to go buy me something.  She has blood clots in her lungs and she's not in very good health, but she's still Grandma and is still up and at it all the time, even though her daughters tell her not to. 

That's just about it and I have to go anyway.......so I'll be back on here.....soon? 

Laura

I JUST couldn't help but add again.  I have some "exciting" things to say......some things might not be interesting to you, but some probably are.  Well here it goes....

On Friday (yesterday) we re-arranged the furniture in the "living room".  Now, why I say "living room" is because the living room and family room are almost like one huge room.  But not anymore!  We made the furniture so that it blocks off part of the space that you use to get into that area, so now you have to come into the area by the kitchen tile, not the family room.  It's kind of weird and hard ot explian but it looks SO much better!  And we even brought a pink and green plant (yes, it's real!) on the end table.  The cats tried to sniff it but we spread cayenne pepper over it and Rusty scattered right away! 

Today we put together garden boxes.  We are gardening in boxes next year.  It's hard to explain, too (except for those of you who know what garden boxes are) but maybe next apring I'll post pictures-if I remember still. :) And...well I can't explain THAT either-it's too hard!  So never mind.  I'll just have to post pictures next spring.  Okay? 

Also today we had Dominoes pizza for dinner and we got their Oreo pizza for dessert.  For those of you who have not tried it, I recommend you don't.  The crust is like a THIN cracker and I could complain all night about it.  And as a matter of fact, I have a servere stomach pain right now.  I just ate some.  Well I shouldn't say JUST. 

Well I gotta go now.  I hope you all enjoyed my pretty boring and dull entry! I just felt like talking. Hmmm......oh yeah....wait.....oops, I forget now!  GTG bye bye!

Laura

Hey! Mary wanted me to post pics of our new dolls on here, so here they are!  After I say a few things......the dolls came yesterday (Thursday). 

I FINALLY changed the title of my blog..... "The past is history, the future is a mystery.  But the present is a gift and that's why we call it the present."  How do you like it? (post a comment to tell me)  And I changed my avatar.  Well I got to get off now.

Laura

This is my doll, Evangeline, in the colonial doll dress I made for Elizabeth.  I made one for myself just like it.

Hey again-I know I just posted yesterday but who cares?  My dear friend, Cleo tagged me.  But she didn't award me, but that's okay because I awarded HER!  She didn't notice, but I did and that's fine that she didn't award me.  So here are the questions and my own answers........Oh and by the way, Cleo, did you tag me or someone else?  It said "Who do you tag?" and you said "sassy92 and LauraE57"......does that mean me? Just kidding, I knew who you were talking about. :) It was a typing error.....I COMPLETELY understand :) 

I am going to talk about a few things before I do the questions.  Today we got the oil changed in the Excursion and it took 2 hours because we got a full service and not just oil change.  So we looked at new cars for some of the time.  We came across an extended length Expedition.  It is SO nice!!  My mom doesn't want to give up the Excursion becuase they don't make them anymore, so we are thinking about buying the Expedition after the Excursion is payed off in May.  Or sell the Excursion to my friend and then buy the Expedition.  We even took the Expedtion for a test drive!  It rides SO smooth!  So that's really all I wanted to say before the answers to my questions.  We were also thinking about trading the Excursion for the Expedition but my mom still doesn't want to give it up because I already said why! 

I just found out I got tagged by WillowTree10 and I am tagging ANYONE who wants to be tagged.The tag is at the bottom of this.

I'll just close this entry for now and the questions are at the bottom.  What the....oh! It is my dad's phone vibrating on the dining room table.  That noise scared me! Okay, well that's all for now.  Everyone have a great evening!

Hey! Me and my sister,  Mary, just made a Cincinnati Bengals template on her test blog, Sweet Cat Designs.  She started to make it and she needed help so I jsut finished it off for her.  Well let me get on with the entry...

We got out A Life of Faith books yesterday and I'm already on the 7th chapter of Violet's Hidden Doubts.  It is SO good!!  I HIGHLY recommend them for anyone who is looking for some now good boks to read.  They also have them at our library, so you might want to consider checking that out at your local library. 

I don't really have much more to say.....we don't have to go get milk tomorrow so we're not going to Grandma's house!  Well that's okay because we get to get milk the whole month of October......so that means we'll get to see Grandma a lot! But we still have to go get the oil changed in the truck tomorrow......ugh.  I don't like waiting in that waiting room.

I think that's just about it.  Gotta go to the mill and get chicken feed.

Bye bye!

Laura

Well I posted this entry for a few different reasons.  Number 1........today we worked outside and planted 6 things...5 bushes and a magnolia tree.  I have picures that I want to post and I just have some plain every day pictures.  I hope you enjoy them!!!  Right now the Cincinnati Bengals are getting ready to play....actually at 4:00 they will be.  It's only 3:02 now.  Well anyway here are the pictures.

Every Day Pictures.......

This is a sunflower field along the highway....I thought it was pretty. :)  And I have NO clue why anyone would plant sunflowers around here!! There's only corn and soybeans!

Sweet little Fred sleeping

Sweet Fred again :)

MY HAIR!! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!  I thought that it looked neat because I just took it out of french braids.

Landscaping Pictures.......

Here is the house before we planted the bushes..........

Here is the house after we planted the bushes (I know it's kinda fuzzy but I was in the sun and the house is in the shade right now.)  We're still not done landscaping it but it still looks much better. 

Here are the bushes up close

And the magnolia tree in the middle of the circle in the middle of our driveway.

Well there ya go!!!!  I was wondering what you think about how the house looks now instead of before.  My mom wants to hang up some ferns or something on the front porch to make it look nicer.  Well anyway I gotta go now.  Bye bye!

Laura

I took these pictures a few days ago and haven't unloaded them until today.  I thought they were very pretty and decided to show them to all the bloggers.  Well only some of them are pretty. :)

Nothing much has been going on here.  Just boring, and same on my blog.  Boring.  Nobody visits anymore and nobody seems to like me anymore!! Boo hoo hoo.......Ummm.......maybe......maybe I need to post more interesting things.  Maybe my stuff is absolutly boring. Who knows.  Here are the pictures...

I think I took this last Wednesday morning?

Our "back" yard

The sky on Friday night

One of three of our roosters

CALI!

Brrr!!!  Cold weather is DEFINATLY coming.  This morning when I woke up, I was absolutly FREEZING!!!!!  I got dressed into some really warm sweat pants and a long sleeved shirt, PLUS a jacket and a light coat.  It was pretty cold and the rest of the day I still needed a jacket.  And now I need 2 again!!  I can't believe it. 

We sold our American Girl dolls (Elizabeth, Felicity and Emily) and all of their dresses.  The fight my sisters had the other day made my mom angry and she said "NO MORE AMERICAN GIRL STUFF!!!!" and that was it.  All except the books.  We're getting new dolls (my littlest sister already has one named Liberty) from Vision Forum, which the dolls are made WAY better anyway.  I asked $50 for Elizabeth (my doll) because she's in good condition and will be 3 years old this October.  And I want to have the money for it because I earned Elizabeth.  I worked for her because one time Diane was having a really hard time finishing her work that someone gave her, so I came over to help her and was there all day for 3 days and doing her husbad's job so he wouldn't have to do it when he got home (he's a mailman).  So anyway they were both so greatful and then after a few days Diane said "You'll be getting a big package in the mail" while we were at the library with her one day.  And sure enough, when I got home, there was a big package for me with Elizabeth inside it. I was so shocked I was afraid to take it out for fear that my mom would be mad at DIane for getting me such a nice thing.  Anyway that was long enough...

WELCOME HOME, CLEO!!!!!!!!!!  Cleo is finally home!!  I hope you had a really great time, Cleo!

That's about all for tonight.

Laura

p.s. I am not going to quit my blog. :) 

I have an extremely boring and abandoned blog nowadays.  It seems like now that Cleo went on vacation, everyone started not coming to my blog.  SO COME HOME, CLEO!!! Well that's not the only reason I want her to be home, honestly.  But anyway, nobody has been visiting this blog at all lately. Or at least nobody has been posting comments and cbox messaging. 

I just found out that American Girl has a NEW history doll-Julie!!! And she's from the 70's and the reason I know is because my sister just got back from getting the mail and she is looking at the AG catalog.  BTW, when my aunt and uncle were here, my uncle painted the mailbox!! THANK YOU UNCLE BOB!!!!  That mailbox looked like nobody painted it since our house was built!!! It was built in 1984 I think and was a home-o-rama home for the 80's (or '84-however they do it) so it's pretty complicated looking and it actually looks pretty odd from the outside (and that's because it was a home-o-rama home) because.....because.....just because. 

I have no clue why I am typing anything on my blog anymore.  I should just leave it.  Not write on it. Forget it. Say goodbye to it.  Nevermind it.  Well my littlest sister is screaming her head off because my other sister was looking at a magazine and she wanted to look at it but my sister wouldn't let her and my mom threw it away.

Today was the first day of homeschool skating.  It was fun, but I couldn't skate becuase my skates are too small and my feet kept cramping up because of it.  My mom ordered me some new ones, so by next month they'll be in....hopefully. :)  But I still did the hokey pokey and the chicken dance.  My dad will be home at like 9 or 10:00 tonight, so we're going to watch Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? and we WERE supposed to have popcorn, but I had everything ready, and found out we had no popcorn. :(  Well gtg....the show is almost on.

p.s. I'd like to recommend 2 blogs....

Mary's Blog and Maggie's Blog....Mary is my sister (but that's not her real name) and Maggie is my friend from our homeschool group.....enjoy!

Today is my dad's 50th birthday!! HAPPY BIRTDAY, DAD!!!!!

Here are more pictures that are really funny.....well some of them anyway. We officially started school today.  And we got a new copier, so that's why we officially started today because we needed copies of things.  My mom chose My Father's World for school, (even though it's only for 2-6 graders, you can adapt it to make it harder for 7-9 graders) so we got to make a passport since we will be studying new countries.  And each time you "enter" a new courty, you put that country's flag sticker on a blank  page and write the date and country name. My passport even has my picture in it!! And it's like the BEST picture EVAH of me!  And does anyone know how and where to get images like I have on my sidebar?  I can only find real stupid ones or none at all.  Well anyway here are the pictures.......

Okay FINALLY we got a little bit of rain!!!! It has drizzled all morning.  Well I guess it's not morning anymore-it's 2:22 p.m.!!! Hopefully it will rain the rest of the day.  WE NEED RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had fun last night at dinner, although all of us pretty much got sick.  My aunt was up all night with stomach cramps to go to the restroom and headaches, someone who works for my dad who went with us last night was up all night with the same thing and was so weak she couldn't get up, AND she was sweating like she had a fever, my grandma and grandpa were so sick I can't even tell what was the matter.  I felt like throwing up and I woke up a few times sweating like I had a horrible fever and I was also on the toilet a few times and felt groggy, my mom had stomach cramps and my sister felt groggy.  So my aunt called the restraunt and told them that we were all sick so now the restraunt manager is going to call and we all figured that the only thing we ate in common was salad.  And my aunt said it has been known that lettuce makes people sick anyway.  So most of us feel pretty much better but I still have a stuffy nose and talk like I have a cold.

There are a few videos of Fred on my sidebar. I am the one who talks the most, but a few "pop ins" that are talking is my littlest sister. :) Enjoy!

Hmmm...tonight we are goin out to dinner for my dad's birthday.  I keep on trying to do a messy bun but my hair just sticks right up straight in the air, because of the humidity.  I added a few new pictures to my cbox-I hope you enjoy them.  And don't forget to watch the new video I put up of Laura/Melissa Gilbert.  That's really it, I was just posting a quick little post so you all knew there were new pictures on it an all...
