Just a place to spill my thoughts, and inform any friends interested in being updated on my life.

I was fairly dancing this morning when I found Duchess did actually have bunnies last night!:-D Yippee! Spot was due last Wed. so obviously she isn't pregnant!:( Duchess only had 4 bunnies this time, but I'm so extremely happy to have any a'tall! Two are going to be gray and two black (and white of course). They really have some good strong dutch markings!
And I took two parts of the entry tests in a GED book I borrowed from the library. The first one, I got 3 out of 25 questions wrong. I can't believe I got the one wrong. I thought it would sound better, the Smithville Children's hospital. And didn't pay attention that the h in Hospital wasn't capitialize. Argh! I shouldn't think.;) Anyhow the other was in essay which I did under the time required. I'm planning on taking the next test as soon as I post this.
Today's just been an especially nice day. The weather is gorgously sunny and all too! We serve a great, majestic awesome God!!
Danchan is up and running again! What a nusiance!
Since it's been 17 days since my last post, I figured it was high time. Earlier this week, I got totally spoiled using my Gram's new Dell computer with windows XP! My, is it ever fast. That's the reason I went in was to help her rearrange her office, move her laptop, moniter, printer, etc. and to set the new computer up. I ended up staying over night and we got it pretty much set up. She's run into a few more problems (i.e. it won't fax (the new 3-in-1), etc.). So, I'm planning on going in early next week to fix those problems.
Wednesday my siblings and I went swimming once again in the beaver pond. It's cold and muddy, but fun! Where there's grass growing the mud is higher, but in some places it's over my head! I was trying to take Amy over across to some other grass, and we hit a deep place. Oh, and I should add her that we both were wearing life jackets, but she hates water that's deeper than her. Anyhow, once we hit that spot, she tried climbing up me!! I think I was going hysterical. I mean I was laughing, but it was like I was laughing so hard that I wasn't making any sound, and I couldn't tell her to stop or anything, it was like I couldn't catch my breath. She never dunked my head or anything though, and finally scrambled up on the bank, and I was able to regain my composure!:-p I rib her about it, it didn't get scary it was just interesting!;)
I really believe she's out to kill me! Not satisfied with nearing drowning me, yesterday she tipped me out of the canoe!! We had gone to Bird Lake (not actual name, my name for it) and were swimming and canoeing. Amy, Aaron and I took the canoe out quite a ways once, and we were going to tip it, but they were too scared to. So instead I jumped in and floated/swam back. I'm content to just be in the water, just to float around with the water at my chin.:-D Anyhow, about her tipping me. We were in water about at my waist, Jesh was in the canoe, and I just just climbed in. Then I was steadying it so Amy could climb in, which she proceeded to do. She had gotten in, and I thought all was done, when she leaned way over one way (I'm guessing, it happened too fast) and we were going over! It sure looked like Jesh was going in, so I dove off to be able to fetch him. Well, upon coming to the surface I found Jesh and Amy sitting in the canoe as well as you please! *shakes head* I do believe we all would have been pitched out if I hadn't dove out though. lol
Just in the past week or so we've really been getting back into music! (finally) Aaron, I and even Amy a bit have been playing the guitar alot, and Amy got her violin out. Then just last night we brought our piano home! *shouts for joy* I spent over two hours today playing!:-D To make room for three music stands, instruments, and books (and books) I've been working on cleaning out my closet today. That way we can keep it all in there. (that's where we've been playing, everything except the piano:p) Amy's even started teaching Isaac and Jesh piano! I'm so excited!!
Anyhow, I'd better get back to my closet, so I have room on my bed to sleep tonight! Plus, I've got to make a salad and all for tomorrow!
Have a great day!
Oh, and since I've made mention of the ones preceeding. It's Isaac's 8th bday today.
I haven't posted on here in over a week! Of course that might be partly due to the fact that danchan was down for 5 days. *growls*
Anyhow, I've been keeping busy working on the circle letter (which I finally sent off today), reading books on canoeing and writing, and a few story books. Plus, we've been bringing boxes up from the basement and transferring their contents into plastic tubs.
Amy, Aaron, Isaac and I woke up around 6ish the other morning and went and explored a part of the creek I hadn't been to before. We had a lovely time, and made the wonderful discovery that mosquitoes are sleepyheads!:-D (there were none out) We plan on taking a short cut with our bikes next time, and starting to explore about where we left off this time. Oh, and in the one pond we saw a beaver swimming around! It was really fun!
I asked Dad again, and he's going to let us climb the knoll. He'd just kind of like us to go with our neighbor (who climbs it a few times every week) the first time, just so we can know the way and all. So, I'm hoping we can work that out or something, so we can go this next week. We'll see.
Today I'm in at my Gram's, cause Mum had to take Amy into town for her eye appointment. I felt so comfortable driving today I went 65 just about the whole time on the main highway and even sang along to the tape! I'm taking a break right now, then it's back to working for Gram! Tomorrow I plan on really cleaning up my room, and working on responding to letters. Thursday is my laundry day, and hopefully my Aunt, and Gram will be coming out to our place! (Gram's never been there) Friday, humm. . maybe I'll work on some educational type things, and letters. *shrugs*
Well, I guess I'd better moosy back to work! Take Care!
Just what? Yesterday I set myself four goals to have completed by tomorrow, thus far I've completed three. The fourth is a hum-dinger though. As soon as I'm done here, I'll go work on it.
Dad was talking about buying a Coleman canoe to take down the river, for he does not want to wreck his Grumman. He's also been talking of building a strip canoe, but I doubt he'll take that down the river. The Coleman will just be a cheapy one. It would be interesting to build a canoe, he even bought a book on it!
My Grandparents are back! We're going in to see them tomorrow. Can't wait. Gram's got more work for me too. She would like me to stay overnight sometime to help her get caught up, but I don't know if that's going to work out.
We'll I'd better get, I really want to finish up this last thing by tonight. Ciao!
