What To Do?

Wed, 2 Apr 2008 10:07:00 -0500

Well, I was going to post a wonderful post with pictures and all but as it turns out my computer has gone postal. Even though it is charged and "on" it does nothing. It sits there with a black screen with the green "on" button lit up. Yet, it makes no noise, it shows no screen. I am very dissapointed. All of my documents, pictures, and music is on that computer! I should have had backup's of everything but I wasn't exactly expecting this to happen. Hopefully it is fixable and I can recover all of my stuff! I miss my stuff! After I scrounge up some money (which is hard to come by with gas so expensive these days!) I will take it and get it fixed. I know this sounds strange but...pray that my stuff can be recovered. I have quite a bit of important stuff on there. 3 years of documents and pictures. ::meep::

So that was my post for the day. I think I'm gonna sit outside for a while....it's gorgeous.

More later,

Elizabeth

A Tagling....or so I've heard......

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 07:20:00 -0500

What is your name spelled backwards?

Htebaile......you can't really say that.....maybe the t is silent with said backwards and it's said "hebail"......but then it sounds like someone with imperfect english is trying to say something about bailing a male out of the jailhouse....."i'm in the jailhouse....i'm in the jailhouse now...." *clears throat* Sorry.

What did you eat last?

Chicken Tortilla soup and a grilled chicken sandwhich. The soup was delicious and a little spicy. The sandwhich not so great but good enough. And I eat maple syrup on my sausage links....not the patties.

Post a Random Picture.

What is your favorite website?

Google, Facebook, Bebo, Homeschoolblogger, PhoneZoo......yep....just random stuff.

Do you know how to do the hula?

That would be a negative....and I'm sure if I tried it would be utterly pathetic!

What are your favorite color(s)?

My favorite color(s) is(are) green(yellow). :D

What are your initials?

LEF.....it's just missing a T and then it would spell left.....or if my first and middle name were switched it would be ELF....that would be great. But it's not and not that it's not great cause my initials are great even if they are a partial or confused word.

What is your favorite scripture?

James. There's so much wisdom in that book and yet it's so practical. I've read it so many times but I love it every time.

What was the last movie you saw?

In the theater that would be.....hmmm.....I think it was "Definitely, Maybe" or "27 Dresses" or "I Am Legend"......that was the last three.......sorry.......

Do you floss first or brush your teeth!

Ew, brush! I want to open my mouth wide enough to floss with FRESH breath thank you! Bleh.....

What shoe do you put on first?

You know, now that I think about it....I always put on the right shoe first.....huh. But when I try on shoes in the store I always do the left one. That's a little strange. Oh well, I'm just special. :D

Ketchup or mustard?

Ew, gross. I really don't like mustard. And ketchup is only good on a burger or some such thing. I like mayo and honey mustard though.

Who did you talk to last?

Tori on the phone....and my grandmother in person.

What is your favorite season?

Fall and Spring.

What is the weather like outside?

You know, I'm not sure. I haven't been out this morning.

Soup or salad?

Both, I like to have a good crisp, cool ceasar salad and a nice hot bowl of soup.....just about any kind.

Chair or booth!

This isn't really a question considering the exclamation point at the end. But you got really enthusiastic so I shall answer with just as much enthusiasm. Booth!

What do your pajamas look like?

Usually a pair of rolled up sweat pants and a t-shirt or my fleece pants and a t-shirt. Comfy.

What time is it right now?

8:42....time for breakfast.

What did you have for breakfast?

Well considering that I just said "time for breakfast" that would imply that I haven't eaten it, correct?

Look left and what do you see?

A dress hanging on the door. I need to wear that it's still got the tags on it.....

How many windows are in your house?

13 I think.

Do you wear glasses contacts or neither?

I wear glasses.

Flip flops or gym shoes?

Flip flops! I wear these baby's out in the good 'ol summertime. Oh, how I love thee my precious flip flop. Okay yeah, I get carried away sometimes. But can you blame me? It's the next best thing to being barefoot!

Favorite place to take a vacation?

The mountains. No doubt about it. I also enjoy the beach though!

If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be?

Spain, France and Italy. The absolutely amazing thing is that Ben and Toms are actually going there in the Fall (hopefully).....without me!!!!! How could they. Also, Germany, Scotland, and Ireland are places I would like to go.

Do you like this tag?

That would be a negative. But it did gimme something to do.

How old will you be next leap year?

22 I think....almost 23.

Tag two people or nine!!!

I tag whoever wants to do this thing. :P

No Time....I'm Late....I'm Late.....I'm Late, I'm Late, I'm Late.....

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:23:00 -0600

Just thought I'd have a little "Alice In Wonderland" fun there....

So I have no time to come up with a thought provoking, entertaining post....what's new?......you will have to put up with one of these things they call tags.....enjoy!

Gotta Love Pearls

Mon, 7 Jan 2008 10:38:00 -0600

I don't know about y'all, but I love the comic strip "Pearls Before Swine". It is so stupid yet that is what makes it completely hilarious. The one in yesterday's paper tickled my funny bone even though it was utterly ridiculous.

So that is all I have for today. I am going to try to get something up about our New Year's Eve fun......soon I hope.

Until Then,

Elizabeth

My Life = Busy

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 21:09:00 -0600

Wow y'all it has been way too long since I posted. As you can probably guess I have been really busy. I have been named lead at my job (which is right under the manager basically) so that means a lot of hours. But I am loving it. :) Enjoy these few random pictures I've put together.

Elizabeth

I just thought you'd like to know what I looked like when I was....well little....idk why I thought you might like to know....but now you do. Don't I look happy? :)

Here is one of me about 4 or so years later.......those roses are as big as I am......I was in baton so I got to wear really sequin-y outfits....

Yeah we completely skipped the next 14 years or so of my life.....but that's okay. This is my dad and me at Disney at the end of December.

This is my mom and me taken at the same time as the picture above...well not at the same exact time....but you get my point.

This is my cousin and me at Thanksgiving just a couple of weeks ago. Isn't she adorable?

Well that is all the random photos I have for now. I will have more up later. I might even post some pictures of our new baby ducklings next. Yes, we have ducks! :)
