I never know what to say....

So much for posting more often! :) Well nothing much up with me...other then I had my 14th birthday which was AWESOME...I somehow manged to survive the ordeal of having everybody sing "Happy Birthday" to me...what do you do when you're family does that to you? I just stand there awkwardly and wish I was somewhere else and then it's over and I'm so glad it's over for a whole year! :)

hum...kind of funny, thought I had SO much to say...but I guess I really don't! :)

Well sorry for the short and somewhat boring post! :) But I have to go and try to write a paper on something I haven't decided yet, but fortunately I don't have to have it done until next Friday...and I'll most likely finish it right before the time it's due, and it will be only halfway OK...so I'm trying to change the normal thing for me to do...which is to have a bad paper that I somehow manged to write in 15 minutes! :)
Sorry if none of this makes any sense but I wrote it in about 5 minutes... :)

SUPER SORRY ABOUT THE LACK OF POSTS! :)

So here is the link to my FFC blog....I'll only be posting on it about once a week per a month!

Really sorry about the lack of any posts this past summer! Busy with a wedding and stuff! I'll be posting more (boring) posts this winter since (hopefully) I'll have more time to do so! :D

What's up with me?

Well I've been taking this AWESOME class called GBT 1 (Great Books Tutorial). I read pretty awesome books like the Iliad (just finished reading it) The Odyssey, Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon (say Z instead of X), Plato and, Aristotle. And NO, I do NOT like Hektor (in the Iliad)...it really bugs me how most people will say anything to defend anything Hektor does wrong but don't really care to do that with the other (better) heroes. *end of rant* ;)

I have been trying to get used to (sometimes) being the oldest at home and thus in charge. Which I have found out I don't really like being...but I'm getting used to having to deal with every little problem that the little kids have, and not being able to just send them off to one of the older kids to deal with when Mom is gone. Luke is off to collage and Ellie is starting to learn how to drive and Nathan moved to Idaho and Silas got married, (not that I mind Silas getting married to an amazing person ;). Life is different and I'm not all that sure that I like it...still getting used to everything. I'm sure I'll like it a lot in time...! :)

I have also decided on my favorite Novel of all time! *cue drum roll* North and South by Elisabeth Gaskell! *end of drum roll*

End of facts about me and my like...Beginning of facts about you and you're life! Leave a comment, I would LOVE to hear from you! :)

OK, big news...I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES TO SHOW YOU!! Can you believe that!?! ;)

Autumn

Wait I lied, I do have picture(s) to show you...Luke, Ellie and I (along with friends) went to a ball (a pirate ball) but no we did not dress up as pirates! :)



Doen'st Luke look smashing!?! By far the best dressed at the ball! ;)

The Amazingness of the Wonderful Time Called...SUMMER!

So yeah, Amazingness is not a word...but it is NOW!!! :P I say it all the time because it's an...amazing word! ;)

Just today right before dinner since it was really hot..95 or something...the little kids and I decied we should go in the sprinklers and act like idiots...you can not have fun in the sprinklers unless you act immature...because if you don't then you are left to just walk in and out of the sprinklers and thus you have NO fun!

So because I LOVE taking pictures and because I think posts with pictures make them look more interesting I'm going to add pictures to this post... ;)

Anyways...pictures!!!!! ;D

This is Abie. Or this is Abie my big bad wolf of a brother...don't let your kids near this one! ;)

This is one of my favorite pictures...Isn't she SO cute! :)

LOL! LOVE this one... :D

And the picture that Peter was so sweet to take for us...It was going to be the usual smileing kinda one but Hanni and I decided to be different...See we have fun! ;)

Photo contest .

Jessica is holding a contest over at her blog which because I heard there was a prize and because I love entering in contests I entered; here is the "Nature" picture that I decided to enter. I will most likely be entering more in the next few days....





Until next time,
Autumn

Yes, another post about pictures.

I have given up trying to do a post that's without pictures... ;)

Here's a picture of a blossom from the plum tree in our back yard...
I did the, "sharpened," "soft focus," and the, "I'm feeling Lucky" (don't ask me why it's called that but it is) I liked it... a lot.




But then I decided to do the "warmihy" which I usually end up using on all of my edited pictures that I want not to look so crisp and sharp...




And then because I'm really into "sepia" right now I added that, which created this!

And then I decided just to have fun and fool around, and I came up with this,

Totally different! ;) Won't be keeping it this way! :)

On a different note, on Saturday I'm going to walk 4 1/2 miles (I think) for fun with the Family and friends. It's going to be fun I know it is but then again it's at 8:00 a.m. yeah, it will be fun.. lots of sleepy people walking in the morning..And I have been promised some amazing people watching, (last year some one dressed up like the Statue of Liberty)... doesn't that just make you want to dress up too? You know blend with the crowd? Not me! :P
