Day (Summer) is Done.....Gone the Sun.....

Okay, WOW have I been neglecting my blog. This is bad...and I even re-did my template! So i decided that, in honor of the new look, I would do the good and surprising thing and....TADA!! UPDATE MY BLOG!!!

So how do you like it? I know, I know....my old template that Arwen made me was prettier....and I really did love that one! (Thanks, Arwen!). But, I was inspired to use the Little House On The Prairie theme when I saw a picture by Renee Graff (the illustrater of these little kid Little House books, I think....), and I REALLY wanted to use it! So, thus became my template. And that sentence doesn't sound right---but isn't that a never-ending problem? =)

Soooo.......school. Yup, we're back on schedule. And I'm a high-school gal this year. Yahoo. And of course, the only thing different is that I have WAY more school---which I don't mind...that much.  But ALSO, Cross Country Running has started...three weeks ago, I think. My sister and I are doing that...it's fun! our second meet is on Monday...please pray that we will all do our best! This meet does no sound like it's going to be fun...one word: HILLS. Doesn't that just make you think the very best about this race? Ugg....but it'll still be fun. I hope.

Anyways...I can't believe Summer is already gone. But thankfully, the sun has not decided to go away yet here; it is around 88 degrees! Yay.....I love the heat MUCH better than cold, gloomy days. Which makes me wonder why I'm inside on the computer blogging when I could be outside enjoying a sunny saturday morning. I'll never figure myself out. One of these days I'm going to wake up to find myself missing, and then I'll never find myself again. Which TOTALLY did not make sense...I'm sorry. I'm in a terribly random and brisk mood today (do random and brisk moods go together?), so don't be alarmed if I say something totally off-focus and out-of-the-ordinary, which doesn't make sense in the LEAST. 

 

"HELP ME, LORD CHANCELLOR!"

o_O

=I

Like that.

 

Ohhh........(I am groaning, if you didn't know) I feel so absolutley HORRIBLE!!!! I haven't responded to all of my comments...I TRIED VALIANTLY, really I did!!! I apologize sincerely.....*sobs her heart out* To make up for that, I have made myself a solution (spelling??). If you could call it that. It is a pledge of honor and trusting guidance which I have endevoured to say every time I recieve a loverly comment, so that I will be SURE to respond immidiatly to each and every one:

I PLEDGE, RIGHT NOW, TO FULLY AND COMPLTELEY CLICK ON THE LINK ABOVE THE COMMENT, TRAVEL ACROSS THE LANDS TO THIS SPECIAL PERSON'S BLOG, READ THEIR ENTRY, AND RESPOND TO THEIR COMMENT, IN THE NAME OF ALL COMMENTS IN GENERAL.

Pretty severe, huh?

Okay...well, I would like to make this a long entry, but I am afraid the sun is calling. Have a loverly rest of the weekend!

 

Lovingly,

Ariel~*~*

 

P.S. (Oh....and I made a new blog button! Isn't it cute? If you want it, just comment or PM me!)

 

P.P.S. (I also want to say CONGRATUALTIONS!!! to my 2ooth commentor, godzwilla. Here is your award, Willow!)

Your new template is very cute, although I really liked the green of the old one. :P
My family just listened to Little House on the Prairie on CD. I've read it several times before, but it's always nice to hear a good story again!

I need to update my blog too... :-/ I should answer some comments as well... hehe... this was meant to help you feel not so bad about your blogging, but it's causing me to feel bad so it's gonna stop now. :D

Out of the Blue:jane

Hahaha! You're so funny : ) I do love your beautiful new template. I have always liked the illustrations in the Little HOuse on the Praire books. They're wonderful!

Wow, six miles?!!! Good for you! I can only run about 2 1/2-3 miles at a time. And not very fast at that! Yes, kayaking was a lot of fun. Blah, but I was sore afterwards. Goodness! I vowed to lift weights for a couple months before I go next year! :D

Thanks for showing interest in my speech :) I think I will post it...maybe even tonight! I need to get ALL the feedback on it that I can, so I can revise it for competition season coming up in January. Which is still a ways off, but I need to have plenty of time to memorize the speech!

Hope all is well!

I actually don't do any sports this year...at least, I don't think so! I'm a brown belt in tae kwon do, and I've done soccer...I'm sure there's others, I just can't remember 'em right now! lol

Hey!

Oh, I'm sorry...I'm not sure why it's doing that. Maybe it's your computer. I have a large computer screen so people with smaller screens have a hard time cause it all squishes together. :(

Awesome! I'll go add you back! :D

Oh yeah, I know what that is...VERY cool!
I'm not a good runner. :P I have gotten WAYYY out of shape so just not too long ago I started working out and trying to be a little bit better and such. ANyways...I'm rambling about silly things. lol
Good for you!! :D

Thanks VERY much!

I'll have to add the button soon!! I do not right now.
I had one but then I didn't like it and now my computer won't really let me make one. It's annoying. And I'm not sure why. But if I get one I'll be sure to let ya know, k? :)

Thanks! You have a fab weekened too!!! :D

God Bless,

Yah, Frodo can get like that sometimes, but I still like him, he's sweet.
*goes all wide eyed when she sees what is next in the comment* Oh my word, of course I would recomend Bleak House! It is sssssoooo good, one of the best things I have ever watched! Just to warn you though, it is PRETTY long. I wrote a review on it a little while ago, I'll give you the link.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my speech, Ariel! And I really appreciate your advice. You know, I had been thinking that that sentence did not make very much sense, but I couldn't think of another way to word it! You really helped. I love how you changed it that way...it makes it flow much better :D

Okay, that would be great! I can't wait to have people be able to put the button up on their blogs as well : ) You did such a good job on it.

In Christ,
Christine

Hey!
Yeah, tae kwon do lol! Well, after brown, it's red and then black...so if that tells you anything lol! But they recently switched like the curriculum type thing, so now I think each belt has 3 levels to it...I was the first level in brown....
Thanks! Have a great day, too!

Yes, I know exactly what you mean! Sometimes when I'm reading stories or essays on some of my friends' blogs, I am just dying to give them praise, but I also feel like I should point out just one or two issues that I notice...because I want to help! Sometimes I just leave it alone, and I usually feel bad later. All that to say :D I really do appreciate you taking the time to leave advice for me!

Okay, what you are saying about the blog buttons, and codes, and sidebars makes sense ; ) I would be glad to tell you some of the buttons I would like on my sidebar, if that's not too much trouble for you. I will PM them.

In Christ,
Christine

Oh, you changed the template again, it's very pretty! Thanks, I was afraid that post might scare some people off. It's alright if ya don't really like Bonanza, I can see where it might not appeal to some people. I really hope you'll be able to watch Bleak House! Tell me if you do, and what you think of it.
Talk to ya later!

You posted a comment on me blog on the 15th and I don't think I replied. Did I? Well, if you haven't heard of Chick-fil-a, it must be because.... there aren't that many of them. It's a fast-food restaurant, but it's not trashy or dirty. It's very clean, and they only serve chicken, not burgers. It was founded by a Christian, and they don't open on Sundays because of that. A man who goes to our old church owned two Chick-fil-a restaurants, and that was pretty neat. All the workers there are very nice, and.... they have the best sweet tea, lemonade, chicken sandwiches, and milkshakes around. :-)

Yup, our car has a DVD player inside, and thank goodness it does, or else I don't know what would happen, my sisters and I would probably be screaming Silly Songs to the top of our lungs and driving our parents mad! Oh, I just started watching Andy Griffith, I really like it!
