PLEASE! Tell me you have seen the above picture before! LOL. Mom gave us an awesome art assignment this week! She told us to do a spoof of American Gothic. (FYI, that’ sthe title of the above pic.) LOL. Here’s what I came up with:
Do you know what this is?????????
It’s called the interstate. (it’s not OUR interstate, just one of the many that criss cross the US.)
AND GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Q: You want the long or short story??????
I’m evil, you get the long story.
Once upon a time……..(cause all stories start that way.)……there was a boy scout named Indy. He went on a backpacking trip with his troup. They always came back from these trips on Sundays. Well, on this particular Sunday Indy’s older sister (that would be me….*waves*….HI MOM!) wanted to drive (cause I STILL haven’t gotton my license) soooooo…..their dad said she could. She drove ALL the way to get Indy and ALL the way back. Which ment………….DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!…………..she I had to drive on the interstate both ways!!!!!!!!
WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I drove on the interstate for the first time yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a head’s up peeps, I’m fasting from blogging this week. The only blog I’ll be on is Daily Bread. Jhust so you guys know what happened to me. (i will still check my e-mail though, promise.)
So at church I have this little buddy. His name is Boo. He’s one of Ms. T’s littles. And the cutest guy in the world. And the other day he turned FOUR! WHAT? Four, Ms. T, he CAN’T be FOUR! Jeez. Anyways, I have the best pic of him ever to show you. Then I’ll be gone. (Oh and BTW I’m deleting the Skillet post from a few days ago, if you want the vids, let me know and I’ll e-mail them.)
Hmmmm……Is this messed up for anyone else????? Just wondering.
Oh, I wrote a report on absolutely nothing today. (It was SUPPOSED to be on Poe’s The Raven, but since um, I didn’t understand it I sort of just wrote words.) I also wrote a different report that was supposed to be one page. I gave mom three. It was on Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights movement. (We went to the BCRI yesterday.)
Oh, we also saw the Spy Next Door yesterday. Sort of the Pacifier meets the Karate Kid and Alex Rider. Except the spy was Chackie Chan, not some 14 yr. old. Speaking of Karate Kid, they’re doing a remake which looks really REALLY good. And they appear to have twisted the story line enough to were it’s not exactly a remake. That’s going on me increasingly growing “what to see” list.
Oh, I watched Fireproof again the other day. It’s a REALLY good movie too. And I got Pride and Prejudice about a week ago. I absolutely LOVE that movie. *swoon* Mr. Darcy is now on my “swoon list” BookSnob. Officially. Indy tried to watch the last half with me. (He and dad were somewhere while the rest went to the library/park (I wasn’t feeling well) and they came home while I was watching it.) He was very confused. It was worse than when he saw only the last half of Phantom.
Let’s see…Oh! I reserved Alex today. (Guess what BookSnob, the library said I could actually have him. As long as he’s not called away by the MI6.) So anyways. I’m reading Green right now. It’s book 0 in the Circle by Ted Dekker. (Really good books, AMAZING author. Do read.)
Oh, I lerned thatif you’re stressed then eat fruits that are high in Vitamin C, it releaves the stress. Also, did you know we (at least women) lose our sense of thirst as we get older. That’s why if you feel hungry you should always drink something first. Cause you might really be thirsty.
I had to create a piece of cubism art work to day. It took two tries, but I think I got it.
It was SO gorgeous outside today. And WARM. Ah, delicious rays of sunshine *sigh*. Well, I guess that’s all. TURTLES!
Ok, before I start any unwarranted rumors or stir anyone up, I want to clarify that as of right now we are NOT, and have no plans to, move to Africa.
No then, I’m sure some of you (aka BookSnob as the other two people who actually read this blog were involved in this whole tale.) are wondering what the heck I am talking about. So what I’m talking about is either the cruelest prank ever or the best pratical joke I have ever heard of. (Disclaimer: Do NOT try this at home!) So Indy e-mails this friend of ours (she’s known around the blogs as Maryanna) we go to church with her, see. And he tells her that we are moving to Africa in about a month. And she, and her parents, believed him. AND he was a whole lot smarter than any of us give him credit for and told that he wasn’t actually supposed to know and to not tell anyone. Luckily he told her he was only joking that same day. So, yeah. Just to clarify, it was a joke. We aren’t moving (as of right now.)
So yeah, I’d be about eight days late in wishing you a happy new year. (which I do BTW.) But I have something better to celebrate than the new year. What could be better??? Puh-lease! The is ALABAMA! Football dominates EVERYTHING! And this year (last night to be exact.) the Alabama Crimson Tide has brought home their thirteenth National Championship. So no longer will you see the Bama #12 helmet. It has been replaced, with #13.
Last night two teams played real football. Texas starting quaterback Colt McCoy was put out of the game in the first quarter, but their second put up a valient effort. (Especially since he was a true freshman!) Both teams played with pride. But in the end the Crimson Tide dominated. Cause that’s how we roll. So ROLL TIDE!!!!!! And hats of to the gallant Horns. They played hard.
Who’s? Ramblers.
Why? Let me tell you.
Mama and I were trying to get the fire started this morning so we could work. And the dog was out there with us. And first he tried to take mom’s glove. We got that back. THen a few minutes later he ran off with the lighter! I tried very hard to get it back but he wouldn’t listen to me. He ended up going all the way up the driveway and hiding the lighter in the woods across the street where i now cannot find it.
So he’s in the kennel.
Which is good, cause otherwise I wold wring his neck.
These are from when Grandpa and Grandma Jo were here.
One more post yet to come. Hopefully I will post it sometime in 2009.
