200th Post!!!

Here we are!! My 200th post!! 

How crazy is this, you guys?!

the big two-zero-zero. 

yup. I honestly didn't think I'd make it this far. lol

I feel very accomplished. ;) 

I've almost given up on this poor bloggy several times but I'm glad I never actually did. 

I've made some bloggy friends and found a lot of amazing, fantastic blogs. ^_^ 

I love you all, and thanks for sticking with me through 200 posts of random babblings.

pointless post!

Hey! It's wednesday! 

I like Wednesday. 

I don't know why.... I just do. 

Can you believe it's OCTOBER!? 

*spasms*

The craziest of soup. 

Like The Chronicles of Narnia:The Silver Chair movie I see they're making??

WHAT! 

 Did I tell you why I decided to keep my blog? 

Because I love it. 

But I've resolved not to "try" with this blog. 

"I DO WHAT I WANT, THOR!!" 

:) I used to want to be like the other bloggers I admire so much who always have the prettiest pictures, and the most meaningful, deep posts, or something creative going on, or something...that're just beautiful, you know?

I'm not that kind of blogger, though. lol. So if that's what you like you'll hate my blog. 

I'm random and weird and uncreative and crazy and that's how I'mma blog since it's what I do best. ^_^ 

Oh, you guys!! It's National Pointless Post day! Yeah. Noni (On A String. Best blog ever in case you haven't checked it out.) just said so. So there. Go see her pointless post. It's better than mine.

post a pointless post. 

do it.

{P.S. wanna join an epic giveaway!? Cait over at My Unicorn Has Wings put together something seriously awesome. Go look!! <3}

sooo....

I been thinkin'...

"You been thinkin'!? Now 'orace, I warned you about thinking! I've got the knob for this job!"

yeah, ok. moving on.

I have been thinking though, That I need to take an official break from blogger-world for a little while....I always feel swamped with stuff to do and I don't have ANY kind of inspiration for blogging right now...Like, I sit down to write a post, and start writing and erase, then start writing and erase, ect...So, I'm just gonna quit for a while...

I like to think you'll care as much as Loki does...teehee. ;)

I may post on here every once in a while to letcha know how things are goin', But I think, other than that, that I won't be on much until after I graduate in June.

Hopefully, after that, I'll be back in full-force just like I used to be! I just feel *really* out of the whole blogger thing right now, and I think it's better if I just give it a break.

So, I'll bid you all farewell, until who knows when I'll have the desire/need/feeling to post again. :P

And here's an "ehehe-ing" Hiddles to cheer me up...

whatnot or whatever.

Well, Christmas has been and gone...in just a few days New years will be past. 

Then, Back to life. regular ol' life. lol. I can't say I'm really looking forward to it. I like having nothing to do all day except watch movies, play LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, Read you guys' blogs, eat candy, and be lazy. pft. lol. So, After New Years it's finishing up my senior year of highschool, Studying for my ACT test, orchestra, Work, and such. All those responsibilities and them. -_- ;) No, really. I don't mind getting back to school and stuff. The sooner I get to it the sooner I'm finished, right? :D 

Oh, By the way, I had a really wonderful Christmas. ^_^ I got some really epic/fun/lovely stuff! Also, My Uncle Jared gave my family a gift certificate to SIlver Dollar City so that we can get season passes this year!!! :D I'm so excited! I love that place. and I've missed it this year. Plus, The new ride, {Check it out! --->>The Outlaw Run<---}, is opening!! *squeal* It's gonna be so good. xD

and check this out: 

You've heard me gush about how much better French Press coffee is than coffee from a regular drip coffee pot, right? 

Ta-da!! :D Mum and Dad got me my own single serving French press. ^_^ I'm in love with it. now I don't have to make half-pots in the big one just for me anymore! I've already used it several times. It's amazing. lol. :D oh, and that amazingly adorable owl mug. :D Isn't it *cute*? (Oh, and it has *eleven* "whos" around the rim. coincidence? I think not! lol)

Anyways, good times. :)
My and my siblings are watching an old Kurt Russell Disney movie. These crack me up. ^_^
I hope the remainder of your Thursday is lovely.

Spring in December.

That's what it's felt like all day. A beautiful 74 degree day somehow got lost and ended up here in the middle of Missouri in December! It was gorgeous. We had all the windows open and the breeze blowing through the whole house....

Anyways, It was gorgeous. And I'm sad to know it's not gonna be here anymore tomorrow, And I'll probably have to wait months for another day as warm as this. Oh well. 

Hey, Christmas is coming up! 

22 days away. *eeek* :D 

yup. I'm getting excited. I hope it snows. 

'cause that tiny little Loki up there wasn't good enough....;) 

Anyway. I just wanted to mention the weather. Pathetic. I know. Sorry. 

lol.

Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

{inspired by Sydney and TJ!}

-Awkward-

~trying to use as little of one finger as possible while taking my written test on the touch screen computer today fearing that I was being attacked by millions of creeper germs attached to the public screen. *gag*~

~trying to run up our rough stone sidewalk in heeled boots....and looking like a hilarious retard~

~standing in the truck driver stuffed waiting room at the place where I took my Permit test (don't know what it's called. lol) 'cause there were no open chairs...pretending to be interested in the little phamplet I picked up off the table.~

~Climbing into the suburban through the back seat and trying to crawl up to the front seat 'cause the front passenger door is broken.~

-Awesome-

~My brother getting home just now and dumping reese's peanut butter cups in my lap.~

~laughing my face off with my mum in the car today while we listened to sound fx on this sweet little app she has on her Tablet~

~Jeeves and Wooster~

~ Getting my Driver's permit! I know, I'm 17. lol. I've just recently needed one though....can't wait to learn how t' drive!~

~Having Doritos and Mtn. Dew for dinner~

~Watching Looney Tunes with my neices and nephew this evening~ 

Gonna git now! I know this is short, but I ran out of time. lol. 

anyways, A few pictures to see you off. <3 

Proud owner of a Missouri driver's permit. ^_^ lol. with a hideous picture of me on it...It wasn't my fault though....

gorgeous Noni and I while she was here last time. 

Happy almost weekend!

{xx}

Waaall...

Not feelin' so good tonight....

I think I might be catching something. I sure hope not though. 

Anyways. 

 I miss last weekend. :P lol. 

Letting worries about school go....

hanging out with friends at Starbucks...

Playing Apples to Apples and Catch Phrase bunch.

not yet feeling fat over Thanksgiving's food...

yeah. 

Oh well. :) 

Soooo...I'm just hangin' out on pinterest. 

becoming a vegetable...wishing I could play CoDBO2 with the guys but not willing to steal a controler right now. lol. oh well. sometime. 

I'm sorry I'm rambling at you.....

My bestie isn't on chat to take the rambling right now so it's here this time. 

I hope you don't mind too much? 

oh well. 

even if you did, I'm tired of it now. So signing off. :P 

*giggle*

Enough Said...

<3 {xx} <3 

Lifey stuff...

This week has been crazy. Ever since Lovely Asa got here. It seems like we haven't had a day to just breathe in much too long. I'm falling behind on school, I can't seem to find time to practice my violin and when I do I'm so sucky at it it frustrates me, and the busy isn't gonna stop....

*sigh*

I'm just trying not to let it get to me too much. (see how well it's working? :P guffaw) Life will slow down eventually. for now I just need to keep going getting whatever I can finished along the way. :) 

Saturday was my Granee's (great grandmother) 90th birthday party! My amazing mum and Gramma put it together for her and she was so surprised! A bunch of family got to come and it turned out so wonderful. 

Granee holding her seventh great-great grandchild. Asa Matthew. ^_^  

me (in the short brown skirt and brown boots) and some of my siblings and one of my nieces. 

Friday was This epic girl's ^^ 18th birthday! 

She was able to come hang out at orchestra with me all day  and in the evening we had some girlfriends over and watched The Amazing Spiderman, ate food, played some games, and laughed our hearts out. 

I have the best bestie ever. <3 ^_^ 

Spidey! I loved that movie. I've always kinda hated Spiderman until now...but that was Toby's fault. Hideous human that. :P Loved this guy though! :D 

Anyways, It's deer season here in good ol' MO and with a whole family that loves to hunt we're staying busy...We process and butcher all our own venison. I hate it. every time. lol. Oh well. I'm pretty good at it after a few years of doing it and deer season'll be over soon. :)

I don't think I'll be blogging much more until after new years....I may be wrong, but it feels like I'm going to be really busy. lol. Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up pretty well, but if you don't see many comments or posts from me, don't worry. I'll be back to my ol' self when life settles down. 

Signing off for today. I hope you all have a safe, happy week!
