NaNoWriMo

It's almost here, the write a novel in a month challenge.  I'm a little surprised at myself for not being all excited and worked up.  I guess I haven't quite realized yet that I'll be trying to write 50,000 words in a month.  That's 1,666 words a day, ruffly 5 typed pages a day.  And I don't usually type my stores out on the computer, I write them down the old-fashion way.  So, I'll write down 50,000 words, then turn around and copy it out laboriously on to the computer.  Oh joy.  (wry smile)  Can you tell?  I'm really excited about this. (sleepy yawn) ; P  I have to sign off now.  Pleases drop a note about how you're handling all this stress. : p

I hope you all have a blessed day

A Wedding (all the girls sigh)

I went to a wedding yesterday, a friend of my family's was getting married.  It was really pretty.  The bride and groom were both dressed all in white, the bridesmaids wore black dresses and pink shawls, and the best men had black suits and berry red vests.  My older sister was a bridesmaid, and it is my personal (and of course unbiased) opinion that she was the prettiest bridesmaid there. ;D 


Actually, this whole wedding thing kind of snuk up on me.  Our friend got engaged, and soon after, her and husband to be decides to have their wedding in October.  That was a few months ago, I knew the whole time that they were going to get marred in October, and I didn't really think about it, the wedding wouldn't be for a long time yet.  All-of-a-sudden, it's in two days.  AHHHH!  Panic!  Hysteria!  Alright, I wasn't that bad.  My mouth did dropped open, and I did stare at my sister with this "What happened to the last six mouths" look on my face.  But on the whole I was calm, cool, and collected.  (collected, ya-right, it's a good thing it wasn't me getting marred) : P 


During the ceremony, the bridegroom surprised his bride by sitting down at the piano and singing a song he wrote for her.  That started a lot of people crying, not me though.  I'm one of those hard harted people who never cry at weddings. ;)  Well, I can't say that for certain, this is after all the only wedding I remember.  I have gone to another one before this, but I was somewhere around four or five years old at the time, and don't remember anything about it. 

After the ceremony there was a reception, and I helped with serving the food and making sure there was enough food out on the tables for everyone.  That was fun, of-course that meant I was not able eat till everyone had gotten their food already and sat down, but that didn't bother me.  Now, if I had been hungry it would have been a different thing all-together, as it turned out I didn't mind the waiting.  :)

That is all for now.

Have a blessed day

A Random Topic

I know I haven't written in a while so I'll just through this post out there.  Alright, some of you may know that my family has a garden every year, well last year my sister planted gourds, and this summer what looked liked some sort of gourdish-squashish sort of plant came up next to two big hay bails that we have near the barn.  Of course since no one had planted it we were all curious to see what sort of fruit it would produce.  But as time went on it only got bigger and bigger, and still there was no fruit, not even flowers.  Now it has grown till it covers those two hay bails, as well as the ground between them and the barn.  It did eventually come out with flowers, but its funny, these flowers only bloom at night, and by sun rise they have all wilted.  We now think it must be a kind of high-breed gourd, some thing that can't produce fruit.  The plat its still going strong, even now, and I kinda want it to come back next year, it has been fun watching its progress. 


Have a blessed day, and until I write again good-by.

I Love School!

School really started this week.  Yaaaaa!!!  Ok, I'm done, it's just that I really like school, and I'm not kidding.  I'm the sort of person who looks back at my day almost every night to see if I accomplished something worth-while.  When summer vacation came along at first I enjoyed having no school work, but after a month it began to ware on me.  My days weren't satisfying, almost every night I would look at the day and it felt like I had wasted it.  Pretty soon it got so bad at I couldn't set my mind to anything, I was irritable and dissatisfied, I couldn't even start on my school work early.  Also, things happened that delayed us starting school back up again, but now we're good.  I've got Biology this year, and a new English book (if my sister ever finds it again).  I love all my subjects, math is the hardest but that's because I haven't been doing it all summer.  Oh, and I'm tacking a half semester in Logic, it's pretty easy right now, but then again I've only got to the second chapter. ♥ (o:

Finished

Just to let you know, I finished Reilly's Luck to day, all 229 pages.  It was purity good, easy to read, and had a good end.  All good books must have a good ending, except, maybe, a really really good book, like The Last Of The Mohicans.  Anyway, I probably would have finished Reilly's Luck sooner, but Friday and Saturday, things were rather busy, and I didn't get around to reading it.  So I had to finish it to day. 
Right now I debating what to read next, I have five new World War II books from the library, and three more Louis L'Amour books also from the library.  I've already started, one of the WWII books, I might finish that one before starting any more.  Yaa, that sounds good, I probably do that.  But knowing me, I wouldn't count on it.

Louis L'Amour

I started a Louis L'Amour book to day and I'm almost done with it already. It's called Reilly's Luck, and there are 229 pages in it. As yet I haven't figured out why it's called Reilly's Luck, because he's not the main character, and he ends up dieing 1/3 of the way through the book (some luck). Anyway, I like it so far, it's really interesting. Louis L'Amour is arguably my favorite author, I've read around 100 of his short stories, and 10 or 20 of his novels. He wrote mostly westerns, but he did write at lest one historical fiction, and a sy fy novel. I believe he wrote some poetry to, but I haven't read any.
