um....

That is so depressingly accurate. :P We've had practically NO rain at all this Summer. 

It looks like it finally might rain tonight. The sky is clouded over and it's slightly windy. It's beautiful. ^_^ 

I really hope it does rain.... 

These are my newest ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE want. Agh. They're so amazing. :D I'm a Converse fanatic and a Dr. Who lover. :D It's winwinwin. I think I saw these on Etsy...I should go back and see how much, cos I really want 'em. oh gosh. found 'em. $135.00. Geeeez. :P Oh well. Maybe I'll be rich someday 

and be able to buy Dr. Who converse. 

I'm tired. really tired. but I'm having a loverly evening wathing Dr. who with the fam, Chatting with Nonii, and waiting for the rain. :) <3 

I hope you all are having a good evening too. I'm sorry this blog has been so lame lately. 

As soon as life gets slightly back to normal I'll (hopefully) be blogging more often and more interesting. I haven't had the time or brain energy to put any ideas or care into it. :P 

G'night folks.

Evening Thoughts...

I. *yawn* Am exhausted. 

It's been a crazy few day's what with the new baby and all. We've been taking care of J+T's other three little kids for the past 2 days/3nights. I feel like I've been babysitting for a week solid even though it's been mostly just (*yawn*) today. I'm really looking forward to when life gets back to normal...

Michael Buble's "Cry me A River" is totally stuck in my head. lol. 

"Now you say you love me. Well, just to prove that you do, go on an' cry me a river. 

Cry me a river. I cried a river over you." 

<3 <3 loooove that song. <3 <3 

 I just got all five babies tucked in for the night. I can still hear them giggling and messing around in their rooms. *sigh* *please go to sleep little babies* As soon as they are asleep and I can watch un-intterupted, I'm gonna watch some Dr. Who. <3 The perfect show to relax during. ^_^ Any of you like Dr. Who? I'm a sci-fi geek. Really am. I love almost anything sci-fi and I can enjoy the cheesy-ness of it all! :D You kinda either love it or hate it though. I don't know anyone that's like "nah...I don't care for sci-fi, but I don't dis-like it" It's either: "I love it!!!" or "I hate it!!" lol. :P I love it. 

I'm addicted to minesweeper...mm-hm. The cheesy little game that comes with your computer. If you don't know what I'm talking about, open your "start menu" and search for it. It'll be there. 

*lol* my little (8) brother is messing around with my little (9) sister's Hippo PillowPet an' from the couch where he's sitting came "I need to put this cow outta it's misery..." hahahaha!! Sis' was like "IT'S NOT A COW!!! An' leave it alone." xD lol. That made me laugh. maybe just 'cause exhaustion is finally fully setting in and I'm losing my mind...

I'm gonna play Halo. 

Done playing Halo. watching Wonderful Dr. Who now. xD LOVE IT!!! 

David Tennant is definitely the most fantastic Dr. out of any of them ever. <3

New Nephew!

My newest little Nephew, Eadan (pronounced: "Ay-Den") Michael, was born two days ago! 

He's three weeks early though and having some trouble breathing on his own. He's been in NICU since very early Yesterday morning.  

I went with mum to the hospital yesterday and was able to see him! He's absolutely gorgeous and tiny.  

Poor bubber looks pathetic with all those tubes and tape on him. :( 

Here are some pictures that I took of him while I was there yesterday. <3 

I can't wait until I'm able to snuggle the lovely little guy. <3 

Please pray that he gets well soon!

The Dresser...

So, The other day I had this creepy fit of need-to-organize-my-dressertop-or-die.

Which is definitely odd for me. I don't organize. lol. 

It may have had something to do with the fact that I could pick something up off of it without something else falling off or something tipping over...either that all my favorite coffee mugs were sitting on it partially full of old coffee...hm...anyways. I am very proud of myself. 'cause it's orderly now. 

So proud of myself, that I'm putting up pictures. lol. :D

Welcome to a tour of my dressertop. 

I haz a lot of stuff, I know. I can't bring myself to part with any of it is why. I even took a box in there to try and get rid of/pack away some of my things....uh..no good. I'm a helpless packrat. 

bottom shelf (ignore the dust please. I can only do so much.)
jewelry boxes, random makeups, and such.

right side of the shelves: Various music/school/notebooks, folded up PotC flag (folded up due to lackage of wall-space), water bottle, piggybank, and minidresser full of who-the-heck-knows-what. 

Middle shelf. awesome shtuff. 

like such. :D Glass triangle full of beautiful shells and sand, charm bracelet, creek glass, treasure box, antique keys, and...a rock...prolly from a little sibling or something..idk. 

top shelf and my loverly framed Sparrow. 

nail polish, Hoops and yoyo calendar w/the wrong date, federated music club trophy, random plant pot full of more stuff that didn't have a different place. 

bottles and cans and creams and lotions. :D 

Left side of the dresser: jewelry wall!! <3 I wuv it. 

^_^ My sparrow. Big Sis made this for a friend's baby shower a while back and I begged her for it 'cause I love it. lol.

Comfy Day...

Mondays are much nicer in the Summertime....I hate them during the rest of the year. 

They're like, the weekend's funeral. 

Anywho, Today has been pretty nice, overall. :D I love it when Mondays are nice. 

The only not nice thing would be the fact that I hit my hand on the corner of a shelf and it tore my skin and it hurts. :P But I'm pretty much over that...

On the upside, I'm wearing basketball shorts and a hoodie, my hair is twised up pretty cute, I have another cup of coffee, I'm chatting with my Bestie, and my fingernails are painted an amazing shiny red color...

Plus, I'm itching to do this adorable DIY by Dana over at Wonder Forest! 

http://www.thewonderforest.com/2012/07/easy-peasy-diy-rag-quilt-tutorial.html

It's so cute (and EASY) I'm gonna die. 

Happy Monday, blogger friends! <3 <3

Feelin' Good...

Birds Flyin' High, you know how I feel. 

Sun in the sky, You know how I feel. 

Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel. 

It's a new dawn,

It's a new day,

It's a new life, 

For me...

And I'm Fellin' Good.

Fish in the sea, You know how I feel.

River runnin' free, you know how I feel.

Blossom on the tree, You know how I feel. 

It's a new dawn, 

It's a new day, 

It's a new life for me. 

And I'm feelin' good! 

Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean, don't you know.

Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean.

And this olde world is a new world

and a bold world,

For me,

Stars, when they shine, you know how I feel. 

Scent of the pine, you know how I feel. 

Oh freedom is mine! An' I know how I feel!

{p.s. yes, I do like Black and white pictures. lol}

{p.p.s. Happy Friday!!!}

Tuesday.

Meet Cookie and Pie. My kittens. 

Well, my family's kittens...But I like to call them mine. ^_^ 

In case you're wondering, they were named by two of my adorable little nieces. 

Ms. Cookie. She's the sweetest little thing....

She thought my camera strap was yummy. 

Mr. Pie. ^_^ He kept patting the lense on my camera when he heard it click. 

He's so pretty!!! 

Those eyes....

Cookie and me. 

Yes, I do kiss cats. It's not gross. 

I pretty much love cats. A lot. :D lol. <3 

We've never been able to keep a house cat, unfortunately. Mum is very allergic to them. I'm so glad I've never been allergic to animals! 

Actually, I don't think I'm really allergic to anything. I'm not even allergic to poison-ivy as far as I know...

Maybe pineapple. I think I may be slightly allergic to fresh pineapple. It makes the roof of my mouth raw. it's so worth it though! :D It's prolly my favorite fruit to eat raw. :D 

Dude, Have you ever had one of the Sonic Pineapple Shakes?? ohmyword. Those are sooo good. Plus, After 8:00, the mini size (*perfectamount*) is only $1. *WIN* mm-hm. I want one now....

Went to the zoo today. :) It was gorgeous outside. :D I took like, a kabillion pictures...Don't feel like editing them......or saying "I" at the beginning of sentences. 

This chair is really comfy. 

Yeah....This post didn't really turn out like I expected...

O.o

Independence Day happenings.

Yesterday was fantastic. From the time I woke up to the time I went to bed. :) 

We all got up and out the door pretty early to be in Marshfield for the annual 4th of July Parade. It was a really long parade this year, 'course, it always is on Election years. It was super fun though. The sports cars and horses and clowns were great. We didn't have as many clowns as usual this year though. I was bummed. :) The little kids loved all of it. There was SO much candy. lol. 

Little kiddos!

mah people.

A photo I was pretty proud of. :D

Hacky-sackin'

looovely Camaro

Daddy and Mummy. <3 

After the Parade we all went to the church to clean up from Sunday and to eat Sloppy Joes and chips. After we got the church cleaned up jonni an' me went over the some Friends house for swimming, ice-cream, and psych! That was totally fuuun. :D I wish I had pictures from that...

We rode back to town with the Bakers to My sisters house for hotdogs and ice cream. We all ate 'til we were stuffed then just had a good time visiting and listening to firecrackers and such. 

grillin'

mmmm...

Watermellon! 

From there we walked to the Battlefield Park to watch the city fireworks. They had a lot of fun stuff to do! There were bouncy houses and rock walls and consessions and all kinds of kool stuff. Some of us teens walked around for a while looking and everything and everybody and watching my crazy brothers fight with styrofoam...uh...logs. lol. 

The fireworks were fantastic. Not on ly the city ones, but the ones EVERYWHERE! There was not a direction we could look where there weren't explosions of clolor! It was beautiful. I wish my camera was better, because the little cybershot I have felt very inadequite for the amount of beauty I was trying to capture! lol. It did ok though. :) 

Sarah B., My littlest brother Ethan, and my littlest sister Jerusha. 

"It's a Spaghetti Bomb!!!"-Ethan

We walked back to Jo and Q's house from the park. That was one of my farorite parts of the whole day. There were people EVERYWHERE, fireworks going off in every direction(sometimes on the street next to us making half of us squeak. lol), and laughing all the way home. It was loverly. 

I love my country so much.
