I really REALLY want to post something. Like REALLY badly. For several weeks now. So I’m just going to type and we’ll see what happens.

This year, Spring Break was possibly the BEST spring break ever. Maybe because when I was in HS and before it was Mama who choose when we took spring break… Or it could quite possibly be the two days we spent at the beach (one of which the BF got to come down for…. *happy dance*) And then there’s the part where I’ve been away from home for a while and got to spend a week at home with my amazing family. But really, I think the beach trip took the cake. (not that that’s hard to do with me since I’ve realized that I don’t really like cake…)

BTW, in case you’re wondering, Spanish is WAY easier with a professor. I’m hoping this holds true with math too since I’m going to try and take a course next fall. Oh boy.

Hunger Games was fantabulous. (ohmygosh, spellchecker is telling me that’s a real word. O.o) It was so real seeming to and the horrid style of videography that I hated in the Bourne movies cause it was so distraction, well, it was actually pretty awesome in the Hunger Games. I’m sort of wondering if the screen size affects that at all. Anyways, I loved the movie and the only part I noticed missing that I actually went “awww that wasn’t in the movie!” was the part where District 11 send Katniss the bread right after Rue dies. That and the part whre Haymitch has to send her sleeping medicine or whatever so that she can leave Peeta. But I forgot that part until Mama mentioned it, so really only the bread. Rue was adorable by the way. Much better than I could have imagined her really, she has such a sweet face. One thing I really like that they sort of changed was the fact that they included the reactions of people in District 12 (Like Katniss’s mother and sister and Gale.) and then in other places as well (like the revolt in District 11) that happened at the same time but you don’t find out about until book 2 or 3 since it’s written from Katniss’s perspective.

Ooooo! I just found out that GG5 is waiting for me at the library! Super excited (I’ll just have to find a time to go pick it up now…) I’ve been dying to know what happens to Cammie. Especially since Ally Carter posted those shorts in the pov of the othe characters. Very stoked!

I have reestablished that I am horrible at painting. Luckily as a BA and not a BFA student I can avoid taking an actual Painting class. I also discovered today that it takes a lot of guidance for me to draw abstractly. How ironic is that?

Another thing I’ve learned, apparently homeschoolers are the only people who have heard of cleps. O.o Okay, so not entirely true, I have said the word to a few public schoolers who knew what I was talking about. But still.

On a sad note, I should probably mention that my precious kitty is gone. Sammy went MIA a month or so ago and hasn’t turned back up. We can only assume he’s dead. :’( Speaking of which, one should never EVER text one’s sibling who is in college and tell her that her beloved cat is dead. Leave that news breaking in the gentle hands of the parents. Trust me. Also, the best place to find out about said beloved cat’s passing is at the BF’s house. That way you can totally cry and have someone actually comfort you. Because let’s face it, my friends aren’t exactly used to me breaking down into tears like that. (well, there was the time that there was a tornado and I got upset and started sobbing… or the time I was crying and screaming at my computer…)

Also, Zeke doesn’t know his own name. Or that he’s supposed to let my and lil sis hug him to death. Or that he’s supposed to come beg for belly rubs when I’m hanging up laundry or curl up around my head when I lie down or try to chew the corners of my books or… well I guess I’m going to have to face the reality that he isn’t Samson…

I finally finished The Help over Spring Break! It was amazing, Definitely better than the movie, though the movie is totally worth the time as well.

Sarah’s Key, which is a book that Mama and I read in Europe makes a pretty good movie. It was also the first foreign film I’ve seen. Or at least seen and known that it was a foreign film…

That’s about all I can think of so I guess I’ll wrap it up with this: In case you wondered, all skeletons are nude. And gender un-specific… unless you’re Dr. Brennan that is…

So this Saturday is Independence Day, right?

This week I’m showing you some American Greats. In my opinion that is.

The great American quote for the week is:

(drum roll please!)

“This ice age stuff is really overrated. You know what I could go for? Global Warming.”

-Sid the sloth (Ice Age)

So we’ve seen, Andy Griffith, Veggie Tales and Abbot and Costello. Let’s see what else I come up with.

Suggestions?

So Saturday we were checking the weather and noticed that it was calling for snow Sunday morning. Of course we’re all going “yeah right, it’s not going to snow.” Well, guess what. It snowed. Check out the fun we had!!! These first pictures are of the snowball fight we had before leaving for church.

Oh, did I mention that the dog went absolutely crazy. Kept snapping at the falling snow trying to catch it. Not really sure what the cat thought, though he didn’t seem anxious to come in or anything.

Then after church we had a huge snowball fight in front of the school. Course, everyone kept trying to hit Bubbles who wasn’t so thrilled about the prospect of snowballs being thrown at her. Besides that though everyone had a great time freezing our fingers off. Oh, then we made snowmen. Here’s  the one I made with Boo and Doodles:

So they had to leave as I was taking the picture and they moved to soon. Anyways I also made a snow angel, see:

So that’s it for now. When we got home I took a bunch of artistic pix. Maybe I’ll but the best ones up tomorrow. See ya then.

That would have been the cat’s problem last week, if he actually slept in a bed that is. Well, sometimes he does but not on a regular basis and that is beside the point. The point is, well, I’ll let him “tell” you…..

I ate a fly today. Did you know that they are very crunchy? Somewhat interesting in taste but absolutely delicious!!! Other than that nothing much happened today. Oh, I plan on a nightime expedition tonight sometime, so I guess I should get some rest *yawn*…….

Tuesday, October 14

Well, I took that expedition last night. I managed to convince the girls to let me in their  room. (Sometimes they won’t because I might, might mind you, knock everything off the junk shelf.) Anyways, their window has no screen, soooooo, I jumped out then window. Later I was getting tired, but no one would let me in. Then this owl scared me. So I ran up a tree. Except I ran to far and got stuck in a tree. No sleep for me. I was up there for what seemed like ages. Then, at last, the sun peeped over the trees. For a few minutes I enjoyed my view, but then i reliezed just how high i actually was. I admit I was scared, I even cried. Everyone came out to see me, but no one could get up to me I was so high up. Then they left like they do every Tuesday morning. When they came back they stared up at me in pity but couldn’yt get me. Finally, after their lunch time I managed to get down. As I did not sleep since yesterday I am going to snigorsogulflew go cacumya to sle… fargersnort slee…. steakerpodop sleep…..ZZZZZZZ

I refuse to go outside today. Yesterdays events were just to much. No matter what anyone say I will NOT go outside!!!!

Thursday, October 16

Why, oh why did I follow the dad outside tonight. Now no one will let me inside. AND IT’S COLD OUT HERE. Oh well, no matter what I will not climb a tree. I will not climb a tree. I will NOT climb a tree. I WILL NOT CLIMB A TREE.

Friday, October 17

Oh dreadful day!!!!! It rained very early this morning, ON TOP OF BEING FREEZING I WAS ALSO COLD!!!!!! So I tried to climb in a window. Didn’t work. They were all closed and no one felt sorry for me. Until I tried the girls window. I jumped, intending to catch the scree, except I forgot they have no screen. So I slid down the window and caught myself in the ridge at the bottom. There I hung until my yowls (or pitiful wails, if you prefer,) awoke the eldest and she let me in. (There’s a reason i am partial to that girl.)

That’s about it. Poor cat, he had a rough week!!!!!1

Yes I am blogging about the cat again. See Daddy has this laser pointer thingy. So yeah he turns it on the other night. Yep, this red dot goes shooting across the room. As does the cat. Yep. New toy. Except this ones can’t be caught or chewed. Yeah, hysterical. Wish we had had a video camera. Haha. That would have been one for AFV. Hehe. You’d have to see it for yourself probably. Oh well. It was funny.

Samson

A.k.a., more on the cat.

Here’s what he gets called around the house.

Samson

Ha ha. Bet you never heard that one before. Seriously though, our cat Samson will eat paper. Several times I have left schoolwork on my bed (which for some reason Sammy think is HIS bed) and returned to mind this huge chunk missing. So far it’s only been out of blank pages or the empty corner at the top. He has also tried to take bites out of library book, for which he will at the very least get kicked off the bed.

Other items on his eating list include:

*The newspaper (especially the comics)

*Laundry (while you are folding it.)

*Leaves (a more recent discovery, he tried eating some that Diva collected for a project)

*Fingers and Toes

*Stuffed animals

*Plastic bags

*Anything that crinkles

Yeah, goofy cat. So if anyone needs an excuse, just send for Samson. Hehe.

Samson

The cats latest escapade:

Into the Dishwasher!!!!!!!! CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Samson

…..Me. Minus the school work. So here’s what we did after school……

Yes those are Legos, all over the living room floor. We probably would have more too, except a bunch have disappeared over the years. So we all built with legos after school and let our imaginations flow.

Well all except one….

….someone would rather play his bloody war games than with us.

But the rest of us had fun.

What is he working so hard on? You may ask. well, i’ll show you….

….A castle. Yep and miss Diva has a dwelling of her own going.

And while they were doing that, here’s my project.

Don’t worry, it’s not finished in this picture.

Now it’s finished. You had better be able to tell what it is, but just in case I’ll tell you. It’s a dragon. All he needs now is a name. Something funny……..

Meanwhile Samson found himself a new play pen….

….The Lego box.

That’s all for now. Green Beans.
