The Occasional Blog

Oct. 15, 2007
One Hundred

I am long overdue for an update!  As you may have been able to guess from my title, this is my 100th blog entry.  =D  So, that's pretty exciting.  But do you know what's even more exciting?  My mom's expecting another baby.  Yep, this will be the eighth kid.  The due date is sometime in late May or early June.  We have already had some long discussions over what to name him/her.  ;-)  What do you think of Octavia, Teresa, Maria, Julia, Juliana, Olivia, Angelica, or Serena?  Which one is your favorite out of Gabriel, Gregory, William, Henry, George, Maximilian, and Gideon?  I might as well get some outside opinion. ;-)

And no, don't freak out; I am not going to delete this blog.  I am going to keep it up, but my posts will be more sparse (not like they aren't already).  I have fallen FAR behind in commenting.  Sorry krisjacob, onedaymore, Brielle, Free2bme, and all the rest of you who haven't heard from me in a while!

Of course, I can't post a blog entry without telling you what I'm reading. ;-)  My sister and I both started Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne at the same time (without knowing it).  We are both enjoying it s0 far.  The character of Phileas Fogg is especially good.  He's always cool, collected, and confident about everything, even though his circumstances are nutty.  It adds a whole new dimension of humor to the book. 

For those of you who don't know, Lydia started a new group on HSB called The Society of Avid Young ReadersCassydoodle will be heading it up.  :-)  It should be really fun.  Send in your application to become a member! 

Remember the Narnia Trivia Contest that I had on my blog a little while ago?  Well, I think it'd be hilarious if I had another contest - Veggie Tales Trivia!!  What do you think? ;-)  Everybody loves Veggie Tales. ROFL

And don't worry, Jocelyn, my "thinker post" is coming. ;-)  I think I'll be writing it on dating.   (one of your favorite toipcs, eh?)

Go with God,
-Sylvia

Hi Sylvia...You're so welcome. I rarely get comments for my SP&P, only occasionally from you or blogboy. I really appreciate you letting me know that you enjoyed it. CONGRATULATIONS again on the upcoming birth of your brother or sister!

Hey, congrats on the 100th post! And Congrats to your mom on the baby!

RYC: I was going to write on that verse but the more I wrote the more it seemed like something that I had written before. So finally I just posted the verse and the banner.

I saw your comment that you left on my blog. I had just read of similar idea to yours "If we don’t remain in Him and fail to bear fruit, He will cast us out." So I decided to blog about it. Come check it out.

Sorry I haven't commented you in such a long time:( I have been really busy.

I am so happy for all of you! You all must be really excited. So for naming the baby...if it was a then Juliana but if it was a boy how about Josiah:) Those are really nice names.

I can't wait to read your post on dating. I love to see what other Christians have to say about that issue. Do believe Christians should date or court? I am really leaning towards courting like 98%

Have a great day and God bless!

Love, Miss Elizabeth

Congratulations on the baby!!! Gabriel is the best out of the names you listed for boy I think. (I know three people with that name so maybe I am biased!) I am not sure about the girls names though.

I have not been here in so long!! But I read your comments on the girls blogs. How lovely!
I read that if you have a girl, you will be just like our family!! That was so cute!!
I think the Reading Club sounds like a wonderful idea!!!! We just read the Chronicles of Narnia books, and it was a great success!
Kinda' like a book club in its own right, eh??
;)
Well, blesings my dear!

AHHH!!! I'm sooooo excited for you! I was reading your entry and I got to that part, and got up and went screaming throught the house, "SYLVIA'S MOM'S GONNA HAVE ANOTHER BABYYY!!!"

Now everyone thinks I'm a raving lunatic, but at least I'm a happy raving lunatic, no? I think all the names were beauteous, but especially Juliana and Olivia, and Gabriel and Gideon. And, a veggie tales contest would be mucho fun. :) have a great weekend!

Thank you for the compliment. I thought it would be nice to change out for the cooler season..it's not what I wanted at all. I miss my angel being on the front page. I just left your other page...that's hilarious! I left a couple of comments too...LOL

Hi Sylvia,
Thanks for the comment! It was very encouraging. I am glad you liked the first chapter. About the name, well, I have had several people criticize the name 'Jaylon' and my mom explained to me why you said what you did. I am certainly not upset, and I think that I will change it. Of course, that would be rather difficult, because I have been working with this name for a very long time! (About four years) I guess I will have to adjust to something else. But I need some ideas!

Oh, I read Around the World In Eighty Days two years ago and it was great! It was hilarious! I won't tell you what happens, though. Very interesting characters, I would say.

Well, bye for now,

Sincerely,
Raora

This is Raora again. I meant to say this in my last comment but I guess I didn't: CONGRATULATIONS on the new baby. And my favorite of those names are Gideon for a boy and Olivia for a girl.

Hello, I was just randomly looking a blogs when I came across yours, and saw your birthday is the same year and month as mine.
That's really cool about your mom having another baby! I LOVE the names Julia and Gabriel. Those 2 have been on my favorites list for a long time.

Have a wonderful day, Victoria Faith

P.S. Veggie Tales is awesome. *I <3 Larry*
