Rest Assured I have not fallen off the face of the earth my friends!
Written in Chores, Me and My Family
UPDATE TIME! It's been two months since Christmas and I have just now had my Christmas tree removed from my blog, (Thank you Becca !) We are still in the process of looking( sort of) for some place closer to our family to move to. Not much luck. There are people who I will really miss and others whom I won't (maybe that's the wrong attitude but it's true and admitting it's the first step.) and I won't have to leave any of my blog friends behind because the computer's coming with us! YAY! Mom put her back out a couple weeks ago, but is doing much better, thanks to the chiropractor! On to the more trivial. I dyed my hair the sometime the middle part of January, and it didn't quite come out the way I'd hoped. I had a friend do it who hasn't dyed hair in years, and thus as a result most of the dye ended up on the top of my head instead of evenly spread (and the color wasn't exactly what I'd wanted). Fortunately, I don't think it took well because it's almost back to it's normal color, and the next time I have the money I'm going to get something just a tad darker and try it again! My aunt sent me video with the most stupid song I've ever heard with a slide show of her cats (also known around here as her kids) Cheyanne and Jasmine! Some of the pics are kinda cute like the one of Jazzy curled up in the bathroom sink, some of them are just pictures, but cute none the less. Umm...... Oh did I mention I'm only posting because Momma suggested I should? Otherwise nobody may of heard from me for a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,very,very,very,very,very, very long time! Hope all is going well for everyone!

Do not put phone in the microwave oven as it may cause the battery to explode and holiday kickoffs.

Now this was perfect, there can no longer be any miscommunications between my mother and myself when I'm not at home any more. Well while reading through the user's manual, rule number 2: Never place phone in microwave oven as it may cause the battery to explode. Strange huh??? Now, holiday kickoffs. When and how do you all begin the holidays??? The official holiday season around here begins with my birthday on Nov. 14. closely followed by Thanksgiving, then Christmas, and New Year's and then finally my mother's birthday. When and how do you start the holidays???? Blessings, ~Liz~ Who puts their cell phone in the microwave any way??????? |

Now, hopefully the title intrigued you. My little bro. is learning to read this year. The other day he was reading to mom from one of his books and he couldn't figure out what the word was (yell) , so I told him he said. No big deal right???
Well a few minutes later he came across the word again, paused a moment and the said "Holler!" and kept going.
Well needless to say he got the what the word ment if nothing else!
Do your kids/siblings ever come up with stuff like that???

Yesterday afternoon we were watching a DVD when mom noticed that MattMann had it set so that the actors were talking in Spanish. Well mom can't speak Spanish so she had him change it to French (which she understands a little). Well all of a sudden the woman doing the singing in the back ground comes on singing in English, the people are speaking in French and the subtitles we have just realized are set to be in some Asian language (take your pick of Korean, Chinese, or Thai, they all look the same to me!) Well mom and I had a good little laugh over that one and I though it would make good blog fodder. So there you go. That's what's been going on in my neck of the woods. What's going on around yours?

SuperGirl -Chicken Catcher
Written in Chores, Me and My Family

Here's the story. At some point Sun. morning. Matt went out to feed his chicken's. Getting as far as the porch heard then hen making this really strange noise, then came running upstairs to Mom asking for help. Mom went out to try to get the hen into a separate cage so she could try and figure out what was wrong. She got as far as opening the pen door. The chicken flew out. Well so she's chasing this chicken somehow the rooster manages to fly out of the cage. Yep. So she's out there chasing these chickens, meanwhile I'm clueless as I'm in my room. I come out to get breakfast to a flush-faced mom saying she'll try to catch them after she's had something to eat. So I go in my p.j.'s ( I NEVER under any circumstances leave the house in my p.j.'s, don't know what was different this time but I did) can't find the hen anywhere but I can find the rooster. So I chase him. Around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around. We played ring-a-round-the-rosy's for several minutes. Around the bush at the house next door. I came in and had something to eat and got dressed and went back out. Found the hen. Thought she was dead though cause she wasn't responding to all the noise I was making right over her head. So mom and I go out to the garage and we're clearing off the palatte and moving the siding under it. Mom stands at the end where the hen is and I'm scooting her out from under when all of a sudden she just flies out! Grrr.........loose again.....Grrr....... So here I am chasing this chicken around our yard. Finally she backs herself into this corner (she's actually pretty stupid, every time she's gotten loose we've got her because, she's backed into a corner) and mom stands in front of her with the cat carrier. I go to the other side of the corner and kick it which spooks her and she flies backward right into the carrier. That leaves the STUPID, idiotic, crazy, half-witted, foolish rooster (can you tell we have don't get along????) Well anyway, I go next next door and manage to get him out of the bush with the help of my grandmother. I get him out in the back yard and he decided to go into the blackberry bush. Finally got him out of there and then he flew into the honeysuckle tree's!!!!! So my mom, grandmother, and I are chasing him, trying to catch him with a clothes basket. At one point he flew into the trailer park that's right next door and I had to chase him back to our yard. Finally, he flies under a bush that we have ( That bush and I DO NOT get along by the way.) and I get him cornered and am able to drop the basket on top of him. Now we have a problem. How do I get the rooster to the cage without letting him out from under the basket. So, in the end, I end up bent over scooting the basket across the lawn, next to his cage. Finally got him into the cage. Both chickens accounted for and in their cage where they belong. And I now have a new nickname. ~SuperGirl - Chicken Catcher! ~ What do ya think about that!

I believe I forgot to mention this in my earlier post. The fair is in town. The fair is in town, I have mono, which means I can't ride any of the rides. Oh well. That leaves me more money for dough boys and french fries!!! YUM! Thank you for listening to me whine. Blessings, ~Liz~ |

MONO!!!

I'm very happy to finally know why I've been so sick. I have also in this past week struggled with anxiety which is learned and genetic. It's been a rough week. I broke down this morning and had an axiety attack because I was so worried that the Dr. would call and say that the tests came back fine and that there was "nothing" wrong with me. I've also learned that I really need to trust God when things like this happen. I just need to step back and say, "Okay, You know what You're doing!" Now that is not an easy thing to do for me. It's very hard for me to do as a matter of fact, but I'm trying. Any way, for those of you who prayed with me, I have Mono, and will have to spend the next 4to 6 weeks doing nothing but resting and getting better. And praying that no complications come around. Thank you all so much for your prayers. They mean a lot to me. Blessings, ~Liz~ P.S. Go stop by my mom's blog (maggieraye) and ask her about her reaction to the phone call from the Dr. It's actually pretty funny. Liz |

And the answer is....
Written in Chores, Me and My Family

In Isaiah (Don't remember where!) You read the account of Lucifer and the fallen angel's. This is the first sin. Lucifer thought he was better than God and tried to get God's power for himself. And he and his fallen angel's were cast out of Heaven. The first sin was not eating the forbidden fruit. It was one of God's most beautiful creation's turning his back on his wonderful, all providing, loving, Creator. And that is the answer to my question posed last week. I was really bummed that I didn't get more comments. Joci and Cherryblossom (hope I got that right! Sorry if I didn't, you know who you are!!! ) were the only one's who commented!!! * Pout* * Pout* *pout* Oh well, maybe the next time I post a deep and profound question more people will comment. Or.... maybe it's because it was deep and profound nobody answered it!!!! Oh well. Next time better luck!!! Blessings, ~Liz~ |

Well...she's right. And I have something to blog about. Can anybody tell me what the first sin committed was???? I'm anxious to see your answers. I'll either leave this post up for a week or I'll repost it each time I post. You have a week people. And I want everybody who stops by this blog to leave their answer and then come back in a week's time to see the results. I'll post who and how many got it right. Can't wait to see your answers!!!!!! Blessings, Liz P.S. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember amateurs built the ark and professionals built the Titanic!!!!! ~Unknown~ |

This is what's going on around me and my world! I had the AWESOME expirence of helping out with our churches VBS this summer. I got to help with the youngest class and it was soooo much fun!!! I've helped before at other churches in the past, but this was my first year helping at this church and with the youngest class!!! It was soooo much fun and hopefully Lord willing I'll be able to help next year. MattMann's chicken finally laid another egg. This is #3 in the month that we've had her. So it was a big deal when he came in the other night going "MOMMY!!!!! It's a miracle!!! Molly (the chicken) laid another egg!!!!!" And as always I'm still telling the rooster that if he keeps waking me up he will be the next piece of chicken I'll eat!!! Umm... mom and I have solved the whole immodest shirt issues without me having to wear a dress!!! I'm not a big dress girl, I don't minds skirts, I actually like skirts very much!, From now on, or once we get the money, I'm going to but/wear Olympia Sports shirts. And Adult M. They're long and loose, which mom likes, I like them just because. I an still doing last years school work. I think I'll have it done just in time to start this years!! UGHHH!!! This year we're going to try something new. I'm going to do one subject and until I'm done with it and then I'll move on to another subject, and so on. And that's how we'll do it for the first quarter of the school year and if it works and we like it that's how we'll do it the rest of the year. Do any of you do your school work this way???? Do you like it???? That's what going on around here. What's new with you??? ~Liz~ |

We are a spoiled, snobbish people.
Written in Chores, Me and My Family

As we ( my family and I ) were sitting at the dinner table last night talking about our heritage and where our ancestors came from, we got to my great grandmother who is Canadian French. I started to say something about her not really being French, but then I corrected my self. She was French.
After all, Canada was settled by the French. Thus the people there are/were French, they just came from a different country. This got us to thinking about, the whole immigration thing deal that's going on right now, and not wanting the Mexican's to migrate here illegaly or other wise because they're not American. Now in all techinaclity, they are. They live in North America. Just as the people in Sout America are American, they just live in different countries, like Brazil, Chile, Venuzala (sp??) and so on. They have as much right to come into the United States, as we do. They are American. I mean, come on! How spoiled is that!!! So what if their skin is a different color. They are part of America, they should be allowed to go where they so choose as long as they obey the laws of the country they abide in. And think of this. If any one from the U.S. tried to cross the border into Mexico, they'd throw us out or put us in jail also!!! In all reality, they have probably learned this behavior from us!!! Isn't that awful, that we've become sucha spoiled people?!?!?!
Just my thoughts. What do you think???

This morning MattMann got two bantie chickens. A rooster (ugh!!!!) and a hen. Their names are Jacob and Molly. Apparently named after two of the kids we know. This afternoon, we went shopping to find me top to wear to our churches project fair, and later this summer, to my dad's wedding. I got a tank top a Renny's for like $4!! Then we went to Fashion Bug, where there was store wide clearance (YAHOOO!!) and got this really awesome jacke/skirt set for like $4 and two new purses for $2!!!! Needless to say it's been a very productive day! Oh, and mom's decided the chickens are a keeper because, when we got home from shopping, she had an egg for us. That's what's going on around here! What's new with you?? |

Was I crazy or what!?!?!?!?!?!?! I also had an awesome time working the used curriculum booth that my mom had. I have to say though that I think the hot tub was the most rewarding part of the whole trip. Well, that and SubWay for lunch!!!! Nothing better than a sub fresh from SubWay in my opinion. What's new with all of you?? Liz |
