Well, this post won't be anything special, but it will be a post! And that's a start, right?

*

A very sweet friend gave me a few suggestions for what to write about, so I think I'll take one of them and use it for now. She suggested that I write about my day, and though it isn't terribly interesting, I might go ahead and do that.

*

First I exercised with my Mom. We just started doing this in the last week or so and I'm still feeling pretty weak. I hadn't done any kind of exercise all winter and let me tell you, I'm a total wimp now.
   Then I did some math. I hadn't done basic math in a little while. It seems like once you hit high school they drop all the basic math and have you focus solely on algebra and geometry and other things you won't use as often as the math you learn in middle school. I actually enjoyed doing my math because I love basic math. It's all that complicated stuff I don't like. It's not so much that I find it hard, I just find it tedious.

*

I then took a lunch break, read a book on economics, cleaned the kitchen, bathroom, and tidied up the family and living rooms a bit. Then our friend who is visiting from California came over and we talked and played some games. I also had to help take care of my little brother because he had a fever all day. Poor guy.

*

I just finished having dinner with my family. A rare occasion since my mom started working evenings a few years ago. I love having family dinners now.

*

So there you have it. Not exciting or anything, but that was my day and I kind of liked it. Hopefully I'll come up with something more interesting before long. If not, I'll post about something else that's going on around here.

Blessings!

It's getting chilly around here. Not cold, but chilly. Actually, I like Autumn. I like the colors and the fact that my whole family can be inside and together. Maybe I just love all seasons. Yes, that could be.

*

And I think the dust storms might be gone for now. I say this because it has started raining and normally when that happens it means we're over the dust storms. But I'm still going to be on the look-out for them. I never trust Idaho weather.

*

I have started taking pictures again. I love taking pictures and want to be a photographer someday, but had almost put the whole thing on the back burner for a bit because I don't own a good camera. But then a week or so ago my Uncle let me barrow his Canon. He is so awesome! So yeah, I've been busy with that :D

*

I guess I don't have much more to say right now. I need to go make lunch. I'll try to post again soon. Happy Autumn everyone!

If I still have any readers after my absence I apologize for not writing and/or not returning comments. I was gone last week and have been busy this week. That's not saying I think it's a good excuse or anything, I'm just telling what I've been up to. I'm going to do my best to come up with a good post soon, but no promises! But really, I need to get some stuff under control around here first. Stuff like out-of-control weeds and camping trips that need planning and school that needs finishing for the summer. Whew. Lots of stuff.

*

So please stay with me! I'll try my best to comment soon. Hope everyone is doing well. More later!
