I just changed my template and all my side bar stuff disappeared! All my music, and quotes, and everything. Ahh...

I haven't posted anything in almost a month! Okay...what should I write about....?

Oh yeah... on December 1st, an Irish couple, Keith and Kristyn Getty (Christian musicians), are singing at a Celtic Christmas concert at our church. (They're taking a tour in America).  They have awesome voices!!! I can't wait. Rachel and I signed up to be in the concert's choir, which will be doubly fun! We get to sing with them!

WoOt! I got the lyrics for one of my favorite songs by Considering Lily on here. It's near  the bottom of the page.  Everytime that song comes on the radio, I stop whatever I'm doing to listen. It has very pretty lyrics and music.

I'm being driven nuts!  Rachel found this song that consists of all the elements in chemistry (she has a link to it on her blog), and she decided to memorize it. . . and then my 9 yr. old brother Andrew decided to memorize it too, and they're both singing it almost CONSTANTLY! Aaah! The first couple times I thought it was funny. It's not anymore. 

Ben (3) picks up songs really quickly, and so he'll be spouting off all the chemical elements in Sunday School.

Mmmm.... It's starting to feel like fall!  It's starting to get breeezy, causing the neighbor's chimes to start tinkling, and the trees to start swaying. And the skies are cloudless and clear blue.  Oh, I could go on for ages about how much I love fall, it's my favorite time of the year.  We're only getting a taste of it now, and then as it gets into later October, it'll be like that all the time. 

Too bad our trees here in Florida don't change color all that much.  We get sprinklings of red leaves, and such, but our trees aren't flamng with red, orange, and yellow leaves, like those in New England.  Lucky Clancy and Sarah.

How is everyone else's fall going?

Oh yeah baby! I'm a day ahead in all my homework, and it's only lunch time. If I do more after lunch, then I can be done for the whole week.  Don't you love being ahead?

I love making cards!   I just made two cards, and they turned out really pretty, if I do say so myself.  I used some of my scrapbook supplies - these awesome butterfly stickers, cardstock, and glittery gel pens.

Anyone else like making cards?

I'm trying and trying and trying to post a pic in my post. . . but I CAN'T DO IT!  I went to the 10 Easy Steps thing on this site's forum on how to post pics in your posts, but it only told me how to do it with flickr.  I'm not signed up on flickr, and I don't want to, cause then I  have to sign up with Yahoo, etc.  I've been trying to figure it out with Snapfish, but can't.  Can any of you guys help me?

I'm done rambling out my frustrations.

I'm going crazy with all my math homework!!!   I've been working on math all morning, and I'm not even done yet. I'm getting dizzy from algebraic equations running around in circles in my brain! 

It will be the same tomorrow. . . and the day after that. . . and then the glorious weekend . . . and then the cycle starts again!

I made chocolate chip bars a couple days ago.  Chock full of sugar, butter, and chocolate chips... they were soooo yummy! (If I do say so myself.) 

Yay! I got music on my blog!   You like?

Yesterday, a ton of bird seed was scattered all over the backporch (it was spilled from a bird feeder). . . and this one bold, greedy squirrel would scamper into our porch, and stuff its gluttonous face with all the seed it could handle.   It would climb up the bikes, and hop on our old recliner to get the seed spilled on there, and then hop down to the ground to stuff itself with all the scattered seed there. It was hilarious to watch!

I hope that squirrel got a tummy-ache. . . it would serve the gluttonous thing right.   Today, my sister went out there and vacuumed up all the rest of the seed . . . along with all the squirrel's little poop pellets.   The squirrel came back after she vacuumed,   searching for the seed, but it didn't find any.  Mwa ha ha.

I can't wait! In a few days Rachel and I are going to the Philharmonic concert with some friends in our co-op.  Our city's ballet and the opera will be collaborating to put it together.  I've heard they're really good.

Does anyone know how to get those sidebars on your blogs that you can write stuff in? I can't seem to figure out how to do it....

Yummy! We just had volcano cake for my Mom's b-day... a mountain of brownies, cherrie pie filling, whipped cream, and chocolate chips.

My 3 yr. old brother Ben was so proud of his presents he made for my Mom... a cardboard gun, a ball of foil, and a little book of his drawings.  What a cutie!

My 5 yr. old sister Naomi gave my Mom a packet of 132 cantaloupe seeds that she had dug out of a cantaloupe () an American flag that she made, and a little bouquet of baby's breath snippings. 

I'm leaving in a couple hours for ANOTHER babysitting job... for a really cute, really pudgy, really spoiled 1 yr. old from our church. Not that I'm complaining... extra money is always welcome.

Anyways I could go   forever... but I'll spare you.

Woohoo! My darling sister Rachel uploaded a pic of me!

So now you guys can see what I look like!  This picture was taken at my friend's 1950s themed birthday party in April.... Cool glasses, huh?

Today is my Mom's b-day!!! Early this morning, I dragged myself out of bed this morning, and yanked Rachel out as well, so that we could make cinnamon peach pancakes for her birthday breakfast.   They were yummy! (If I do say so myself.) 

Alas, I have to go finish up my co-op assignments right now... I've been procrastinating my literature study guide all week, and I guess I need to get it over with before co-op on Monday. It's not that I hate it... but there's soo much of it. *Sigh*

So, I'll tear myself away from the computer, farewell... .... I'm going....going....going...

  Yay!! I got a blog! I am going to get sooo addicted to this...  

I have to go eat dinner now, and than babysit for four little balls of energy... By the time I get home at 10ish tonight I'll be exhausted!
