Stories and thoughts of a wannabe writer who loves horses, books, and the color purple. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/horsewritings/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Sat, 1 Aug 2009 12:09:00 -0500 Sat, 1 Aug 2009 12:09:00 -0500 'Ello all! I have a lot o' stuff to write about, and only a couple of minutes to finish them, so hold onto your seats! My categories might be a little confusing. I have three; lilac, royal purple, and violet. Here's a quick run through of each of them. Lilac: Lilac is like my old category "tracks". It's random, every day happenings in life that I write about. Royal Purple: Royal Purple is a combonation of tags, stories, and books I am currently reading Violet: Violet takes place of my old category "roses on the trails". It holds heart-warming stuff. Hope that clears my categories up a little bit! I was in a musical camp from Monday-Thursday and it was really fun! Every morning we got together at a church and sang a lot of songs. We were divided into three groups; Uppers (going into 7-12 grade), Middlers (3-6), and Primers (1 and 2). Each group of kids had two songs that we sang, and then everyone sang three songs. I was in the Uppers and our songs were Deeper Life  by Natalie Grant and In Wonder by the Newsboys. I love both those songs! I also got a speaking part, I got to recite one of my favorite verses in the Bible. It was: For you were bought at a price, therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are Gods. It was so much fun, and on Thursday, our preformance day, we all did a great job! Our local library is holding a compotition called Battle of the Books. You have a team of five people and there are ten books, your team has to read. I read three books, Pictures of Hollis Woods, Fairest, and The Outcast of 19 Shuleyer Place . They were all really good, and our team won the compotiton! Now we get to move onto the second round with all the libraries of the district! I'm praying God's will be done, but I hope his will is that we win! :) That's pretty much all I have to say. And I really have to run. Sorry that couldn't be longer, but ta-ta for now! ~Louisa~ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/horsewritings/713353/ Sat, 1 Aug 2009 12:09:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/horsewritings/713353/ I LOVE HORSES! They're beautiful, majestic creatures and God made them all so different, each having it's own personality. Some are so gentle and kind, others can be trouble makers, and yet others are a combonation of both. I met my dream horse last year at a Christan summer camp. He is a pinto/paint horse, though unregistered, and his ears are brown, but the tips are black. I simply adore his ears. His name is Shickane, though I personally and affectionantly nick-named him Chikane with a "C" and without a "c", due to my great spelling skills. :P It wasn't like a dream horse begginning; the first thing he did when he saw me was bend his head down and calmly keep eating. He was really bad for the first few days; he hated leading and not following anyone, wouldn't listen to me, and didn't trot properly. But the turning day came on Wednesday. Everyone was walking there horses. "Now do a reverse!" the instructor called out. Since Chikane and I were the last people in the line, when we turned around we were the first. "Oh no" I groaned. But Chikane kept walking! He didn't hesitate for a second and went on walking (and listning to me) perfectly. It just might have been a good day for him, but I fell in love. I love that horse. So, I am writing a new story called Pennies From Heaven (isn't sure if she spelled "heaven" right. Is it "heven"?) about a girl and a horse. I am dedicating this story to Chikane. I know it's a silly thing, to dedicate a book to a horse, but the main chacaters horse is based after Chikane, so I thought it only fare if he get's the story. I will be posting the story in "my library"   and on Inklings. ~Louisa THE Horse Lover http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/horsewritings/711309/ Sat, 25 Jul 2009 15:04:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/horsewritings/711309/ Hello dear friends, and welcome to my blog, where I have just recently gotten back on. I'm SOO exited to be back and have so much to tell! We have been so busy lately, and, no, I have NOT quit blogging. I just have not been on in a VERY long time! Some very exiting things have been happening. I'll start out with a quick list of all the changes. We have adopted a little boy from Ethiopia, Africa. I'll be talking A LOT more about that later. We have moved out to the country and it's really nice! My dad might be owning a small rental buissness. I have to go now, but I WILL be back on again, SOON! :D   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/horsewritings/710648/ Thu, 23 Jul 2009 11:09:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/horsewritings/710648/ And, since I didn't brush my hair, I got tagged by Zelzy! How old is your dad's oldest brother's oldest child? My dad dosn't have a brother What did you get your oldest brother/sister for his/her birthday? I don't have a older brother/sister Did you brush your hair this morning? No When you open your eyes in the morning, what do you see? My wall, or my sisters bed  Have you ever given to Locks of Love? No, my hair is too short to do that  What shoe size do you wear? I have NO IDEA What's the last letter in your middle name? H Are you wearing any nail polish? Nope. What four people do you tag? Four people who have to empty the dishwasher Off to empty the dishwasher! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/horsewritings/674961/ Wed, 1 Apr 2009 16:01:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/horsewritings/674961/ I have lots o' news, as you can see from my title (unless you just skip titles because what is the possible point of a title when you can just read the post?). Well...I'll start playing around with this stuff up here... Oh, that's cool! Yes...I think I'll put my news on these... How many stories can I write at one time, that is the question? Well, let's see, about 120. And I have just started two more stories. Another fantasy story (because we absolutly need one more in this world of crazy fantasy writers!) and a realistic fiction one. That was the useless information of the week! Really...why'd I even write that? I've been a sicko latley. My little sister caught it from her friend and threw up twice on Monday, then I caught it, and, even though I haven't thrown up yet, my head has a mindsplitting headache, my stomach hurts, my legs feel like jelly and my neck and back ache. Hmm...another uselss fact... I have three awards! Yay! Big thank you's to: Luckyme, Bethy, and Zel  Luckyme and Beth both gave me the same awards and you can see them here and here and Zel gave me this award. *Really wishes she could post pictures on her blog but her mean computer won't let her* I have saved the best news for last. We have passed the court date for our adoption! We are now the offical family of George Bush (last name not shown). And my parents are leaving in fourteen days. Fourteen days! Oh, I can not wait to have little George here! (Well...he's not that little, he's seven years old). My grandparents are coming to watch us while he's gone. YAY!! Well, that's all for now.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY am exited that I'm back on HSB, but you wouldn't know that from the lack of comments I've been giving or posts for six days. I've just been so bussy, and not to mention I'm not allowed on the computer on weekends or Wednesday's. But, in spite of being bussy, nothing really has happended. If that makes sence...I don't think it does... Well, the weather has turned really nice here and I've been playing outside all day long the last few days. It really seems like spring comes like a bandit. One morning it was snowing, the next the sun is out and it's warm! And everyone comes out of their house. The kids get on their bikes and ride around the neighborhood, the parents get a book and sit on the front porch or take their dogs for a walk. Everyone is outside, as if spring is waking them up from a long hibernation. I wrote this poem at about 1:30 in the morning a few nights ago. SPRING A new day has dawned, a season begun People wake up and look out their windows The snow is gone, melted away God's breath has breathed on His land, making life again. The people come out, an awakinging in the land For every boy and girl, a thrill comes up For every adult, new eyes to see And God puts down His hand, so flowers will come up Making life again. I know, it's not the best and it's really short, but I think it sums up spring pretty much. I promiss, I will blog more in the future! ~Louisa/Ellie/Horsewings http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/horsewritings/670219/ Thu, 19 Mar 2009 08:26:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/horsewritings/670219/ So, if you've read Beth's blog you should know that the "kid computer" is broke (or something) so we gave it away to this guy who needed it and could fix it and now we do not have a computer except my mom's laptop which I can only use to write e-mails. Boy, that was a lot said in one sentence, I sounded like my brother... trying to cram all this stuff in... oh well. So I guess ya'll are wondering what I'm doing writing on my blog. Well, this is how it came to happen: Me: *walks into kitchen, probably looking sad because I was thinkin' of HSB* Hi Mom *sighs* Mom: *is making dinner in the kitchen* Hi. Can you pass me the salt? My little sister Isabel: *passes mom the salt* Me: *sighs* Mom: Thanks, Isabel, now the chillie powder? Isabel: *passes mom the chilli powder* Me: *sighs* Mom: And the cheese? Isabel: *passes mom the cheese* Me: *sighs* Isabel: Will you stop sighing already? Mom: Yeah, what's wrong? Me: I'm not gonna beg but... *falls down on hands and knees and says in the most desperate voice she can manage* PLEASE!!!!!!! Can I use your laptop for my blog? PLEASE????????????? Mom: *laughs* Me: Mom, this is a matter of life and death! I will start fading away if I can't write on my blog. Pretty soon I'll be a big pile of nothing...just a speck of dust floating in the air! Isabel: *looks confused* Would God let that happen? Mom: No, your sister's just being overly dramatic Me: NO I'M NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Pretends to faint as overly dramatic as she can* Mom: Well... Me: Well??? What dose 'well' supposed to mean? Dose it mean yes?? PLEASE!!!!!!!! Isabel: *stares at me like I'm crazy, and I was crazy* Mom: Okay. As long as you don't write all the time. Me: WHAT??? Mom: I'll unblock homeschoolblogger for you, and you can write on you blog...let's say...twice a week. Me: *hugs mom* THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! But... Mom: But? Me: But what if you forget? Mom: I won't forget! Me: *looks doubtful* Mom: Isabel will be our witness Isabel: *looks all important* I'm the witness! Me: *tackles Isabel in a giant hug and gives mom a bear hug, then runs off to write this* So I'M BACK ON HSB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can hardly beleive it!!!!!!!!! *Goes into hysterics* *jumps up and down* I'm back on HSB-y I'm back on HSB-y! *settles down* So I will be writing on here again! THANK YOU MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy! Oh, and the point of this is, in case you haven't noticed, I'm back on HSB. :D YAY!!!!!!!!!! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/horsewritings/668059/ Thu, 12 Mar 2009 13:46:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/horsewritings/668059/ No more craziness for now! My sister didn't sing at the top of her lungs this morning (she woke up WAY to early to be singing or she would have woken up everyone in the neighborhood!) And I got two new books, which can take my mind off of Christmas songs. And, Zel tagged me. Thanks Zel!

I was very bored, since I also have no new e-mails or no new comments. So and idea popped into my head: I will the first to write something new so then everyone, while they are bored, will look at my blog and I will get all the comments. MAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! Yup, I've become crazy, in case you were wondering. Part of it is that my sister has been singing at the top of her lungs when she wakes up (6:00-7:30, which is VERY early for me!). And even that would be okay if she sang something decent. But no, she sings Christmas songs. CHRISTMAS SONGS! On January 21st! So I get up very early, read, write, read, write, read, write, get dressed, read some more, make my bed, become restless, and run around the house. Then I'll read and write some more and then my mom has a Bible study so I can't run around the house, so I can either read, write, come on blogger world and be bored, or come on blogger world and write a post. So now, COMMENT! COMMENT! COMMENT!!! I'm so tired of Christmas songs! I need a good COMMENT to get my mind off of them! *Bangs head on keybored* 54r8h;jhyou2374asd. PLEASE COMMENT!!!!!!!! Hello, this is Ellie's desk keeper. I am sorry to say that she has gone crazy. She is screaming in the backround PLEASE COMMENT! NO CHRISTMAS SONGS!
