Ooh! I like my new color theme!! The kids and Mr. Carlson and Willy (my dog) are gone at the park. I have the whole house to myself!! It's kind of weird. I havn't been completely alone for a long time. Sure I'm here a lot without the kids or any other human contact, but I always have Willy with me. Anywho, this is my oppertunity to do whatever I ( Read more... )

Yay! I just got a bunch of new icons and a new color theme!!! (let me know if it's too overbearing. Not that anybody comes here anyways....) I don't know if it's the sleepyness (is that even a word?) talking, or all the great new icons, but I feel all excited and jittery!! Good thing I don't need to work tomorrow ( Read more... )

I've been walking a lot lately. In all honesty I should say I was walking a lot. I was walking like 2 weeks ago like 4 miles a day(on average. Sometimes I'd walk 2, other days 6). Then I went home for Easter Vacation, when I mostly ate junk food, joked with my brothers, practiced driving(I even parallel parked!!) and enjoyed not having any ( Read more... )

Okay, so Sunday night I went to go see Chronicles of Narnia. It was so good! I loved it!! I was amazed at how well it adhered to the book. I had been warned that the special effects weren't as spectacular as on LOTR, but I thought they were convincing enough. The only thing I really hate about movie theaters, is that there always seems to be some ( Read more... )

I just got done checking out Wikipedia about my birthday. In addition to Abraham Lincoln getting shot that day, the Titantic struck the iceburg, there was some spanish revolution, it was the worst dust storm of the Dust Bowl, and basically a black day in American history. However, the Columbia sucsessfully launched AND the first Volvo came off the ( Read more... )

I was just looking at soul_of_a_rose's journal thing, and went to one of the quiz places. i took the one about what kind of English do you speak. Probably one of the few who can claim 5% percent Dixie when raised in Michigan, or 15% Yankee when living in Virginia! Even better, both at the same time!

Your Linguistic Profile:

60% General American ( Read more... )

Okay, I wanted to make friends with the neighbor lady. She seemed really nice plus I would be able to hang out with her when she goes places. Anyway, I couldn't figure out how to start, when she sent her son over with some muffins for the family. I started thinking, what if I made some cookies, took them to her and then started to chat? It worked ( Read more... )

Last night, the whole family (including myself) went to a sort of concert thing at the base. It was called a Tattoo, because in the Netherlands when it was time to call the troops in from the taverns and what not, they would send out a drummer. The drummer would signal the bartenders of the time "den doe tap too". In English that means turn off the ( Read more... )

Hi! Okay, first things first. I'm 18 and I just started my first real job. I'm a live-in nanny in Virginia. I'm a christian and a conservative. I have a sheltie named Willy that I brought with me. He's adorable!! Although I must say, he's not very well trained... I have 2 brothers and a sister. I was home-schooled (until I graduated that is!). I'm ( Read more... )
