Okay, so you people haven't heard much from me lately, have you? Well, I haven't had many blog ideas. I don't get how some people have "so many blog ideas" "swirling around" in their heads. I certainly don't!!
I haven't been blogging much recently, and that is for two reasons. They are: that I was in the middle of a huge project for my dad, which is done now, but I have another one to work on, and, that I have had almost no self-discipline the last few days, so I haven't been getting all of my chores done. If my chores aren't done, I usually can't get on the computer.
Have you ever heard of the Old Fashioned Revival Hour? It was a Christian radio broadcast that aired back in the 1940's. They had a bunch of GREAT music on it every week. My dad (who is also the pastor of our church, hehe), wanted me to take a bunch of the broadcasts, which you can download free of charge, cut out the music with my wonderful digital audio editor, WavePad, and burn a CD of the music so the people in our church could get some good music for a very low price. Yes, it was a big project (and that was a long sentence), but it was lots of fun, too! So when I was on the computer, it was mostly to work on that.
Also, another thing I have been doing is keeping a journal for about the past week. Remember when I wrote a post a while ago on Keeping a Journal? And remember how I said that I was sooo inconsistent at it? Well, before last week, the last entry was in October. Talk about a slacker. But now that I am back into it, it is soooooo fun! I can write pages and pages in one day. I love reading back over it a few months later. I am mostly writing about stuff going on in my life -- not so much what's happened everyday, because I don't have such an exciting life, but more like things and people and projects. Yes, some of you are in my journal, too. But don't be nervous that I am saying mean things about you. You girls are my friends!
I've been going on lots of bike rides with Dad, Amy, Betsy, and Emily (who is pulled by Dad in the bike trailer). I like my new bike a lot! It is really pretty and also lots of fun to ride! Here is a pic:
And my dad would probably want me to mention the OURY grips (not the ones in the picture, though. Those aren't OURYs). It is a three-speed, so it is easy(er) to go up hills than with my old bike, which was a "single speed." LOL
Oh, one more thing. I may have a violin teacher soon. After a year of none, this will be a good thing (I hope). I am going to start a trial period of lessons with someone in about a week. I am a little bit excited about that. She lives in a really spooky neighborhood, though!  Her street is a runway, and she had an airplane hanger, as do probably all the other houses in that neighborhood. This is no joke, folks. I'm serious. Can you understand why it makes me feel a bit weird? LOL
That's all for now. I also have two e-mails to write and send that are about three weeks late. TTYL!

Congrats on the new bike, it looks nice! How exciting - maybe getting a violin teacher, I hope all goes well (but I don't think I would like to go to any spooky neighoborhoods)!!
It's really cool that you have been to the History Museum too!!! I know of the boxcar you were talking about. I used to like The Boxcar Children books too - I still have quite a few of them!
I can talk anytime this evening, sorry I had to go!!! I hope we can talk soon, I was very glad you called!!!
Well, I suppose I should save something to talk about on the phone!!
