Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells!

Winter is here!! We have snow on the ground and lovely tempetaures of -20 with the wind chill. It's so cold!!!!

I don't like the cold but I have had some fun times so far this winter.

We had a church Christmas party and my brothers myself and some of our friends had a fun snowball fight in the church parking lot. I was the first girl to join in and then this one other girl also joined in. We had a blast! I luckily didn't get to much because the boys would try to block me from the snowballs. Which was fine with me because I was not dressed for the cold. I had on a sweater and a dress with leggings...and my highish heeled boots. Defenitely not snowball fighting clothes...

But that didn't really stop me...my boots were soaking and I couldn't feel my fingers for half of the fight but it was amazingly fun.

Has anyone gone Christmas caroling? I am hoping to go this friday with some friends. It should be fun. Hopefully it is 20 degrees or more instead of negative. We had a 40 degree day a few days ago and we were all saying how warm it was! Where I used to live that was considered frezzing! =)

How is the weather where you all live? Is it freezing or semi warm? do you have snow on the ground or are you still praying that Christmas morning you might wake up to find the world draped in a white blanket?

Wether it is warm or cold or you have snow don't forget the true meaning of Christmas.

Christmas is about our Saviors birth...and it is about giving and not only reciving.

Have a very Merry Christmas!

Soy Libre: I'm Free

Sorry about not posting! I have been real busy with work and dance...and our computer broke down again. ): But I will try to get to the library more often. Here is a poem I wrote a year ago....Enjoy!! :)

A traves del pastizal
corro,
mis pezunas golpeando el suelo.

Mi crin cae a mis rodillas,
mi cola roza el suelo,
una chispa en mis ojos, una flama
que no se ve en muchos,

Como el viento,
soy un fantasma,
oido, mas no visto.

Soy parte del cielo,
parte de la tierra…

Soy libre.

***************************************

Across the range
I run,
hooves pounding the ground.

My mane falls to my knees,
my tail grazes the ground,
my eyes have a spark, a flame
not seen in most.

Like the wind,
I’m a ghost,
heard yet not seen.

I am part of the sky,
part of the earth…

I am free.

a poem

Here is a poem that I wrote..Sorry for any misspellings...I'm in a hurry...gotta run to dance!

Tell me what you think...and if you have any title suggestions....

Enjoy!



They say
things changs
and they say
change is good

but then why
do I feel
like I want to go back
back to when I was a child

when I was young and had few cares
when I was sorrruned by love
and knew that everything would be okay

love surrounds me
but then at times
it feels so far away
I want to grab it
hold it close
let it never get away

they say
make the most of what you've got
and I try
but it feels
like I'm failing
and falling

but I never hit the bottom
because theres
allways someone there
ready to hold me
help me back up

and theres always someone there
to reassure me that I'm loved
and to make me feel
that....

I will be just fine
and I'll make it through
and that even though I make mistakes
I will never fail or fall
without a chance to get back
to the top

Halloween Time!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Fall is at it's fullest right now with all the tree leaves yellow orange and red. And some have tottaly shed their garments and stand bare waiting for winter to come and pass. And as a part of fall out come costumes, pumpkins, and yummy baked goods.

Halloween is this weekend and I am excited! I don't like the goblins and evil surrounding the holiday but I love dressing up in a costume and trick or treating. And ok I will say that I do enjoy a haunted house. =) And I love the smell of baked goods and the sight of pumpkins on the doorstep. But the thing I like the most about halloween would have to be spending it with friends and family.

This year I am going to either be a pirate (again) or a fairy...I'm not sure witch though. I need to go to my friends and see about a dress for the fairy or else I will be a pirate. (my favorite cosutme!)


What do you all do to celebrate haloween? Or do you? and I would love to hear what you are going to be!

I hope you all have a great Haloween! And be careful!

I am 17 but I still have to be careful. (no I'm not to old to dress up and go trick or treating! lol although I don't trick or treat that mucj anymore.)

Here are some guidlines to foloww to be safe.

Don't go places with out someone
check your candy before you eat it!
If you have little brothers or sisters that you are going to be taking trick or treating be very watchful.

And!! Have Fun!!

Weather...and Friends

Hello everyone!! Fall is here and winter is right around the corner ready to drown out all memories of warm days. I am a spring/summer girl. Not a winter girl. I love fall but not so much this year. It is October and the other day it was 35 degrees. Way to cold for my liking.

But my birthday is in the winter so I do like it a bit..and then there is Christmas oh and Thanksgiving. So I guess it isn't all bad. =)

I have a poem about winter, well the seasons...but I have to find it. I wrote it a year or two ago. I will look this week and when I come back to the library I will post it. (if I find it) lol


Her are some qoutesa bout friendship. I hope you all enjoy them!

Oh but first I have a funny story about friends. Me and my frined were walking to her house yesterday after work. She is always almost running into somthing or walking in to the path of someone..and I always pull her awya or guid her path. It is just instinct.

Well yesterday I wasn't watching where I was going and then she said Wild Rose! watch out! and pointed to the ground.

There were 2 dead possums about 3 inches from where I stopped! I almost stepped on them! Oh it was so gross!

I jumped away and playfully socked her arm. What kind of friend are you I cried (all in fun of course) She said well I didn't let you step on them!! She was right...she came thorough for me...a few inches before but she did come through. LOL

Anywas we have a lot of fun together...and now the qoutes....

Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget. -- G. Randolf

What is a friend? I will tell you it is someone with whom you dare to be yourself. -- Frank Crane

A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway. -- Fr. Jerome Cummings

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. Friendship is one mind in two bodies.

A friend is someone you can be alone with and have nothing to do and not be able to think of anything to say and be comfortable in the silence. -- Sheryl Condie

I need you too know our friendship means a lot - If you cry then I cry, if you laugh..if you jump out the window I look down then....I laugh again :-)

But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything. -- Mohammed Ali

Have a good one!!

Test results

The test results came back and we learned that I don't have an Ulcer. So that is good but now I will have to go get more tests taken. What is it that I have? I have no clue and I really am not looking forward to haveing blood drawn again. ):

Thanks for the prayers everyone! I will say that I am a little worried. I want to know what is wrong with me and what I have to do to get well.

I hope that you are all healthy and enjoying the season. Whatever season it is where you are. lol

Real Quick

Hello all! I don't have much time but I thought I would pop in and let you all know what is going on.

First...our internet is temporairly off, hence the reason I have not responeded to comments or written any new posts.

Second...I have not gotten the results for the Ulcer test back yet. My arms ache and my stomach has been hurting more often but other wise I am ok. I appreciate all of your well wishes and prayers. =) I am hoping to get the results back soon and to be able to go ahead with some kind of treatment. I can stand most pain but stomach pains are terriable. I feel nausiated almost all the time lately and I just can't wait to fell well again. But I am trusting in the Lord.

I got to run but I will try to post more soon.

Doctors and Needles

Today was a crazy day! I had to go to the doctors to get my blood drawn. I have been having stomach problems for a few months. We think I might have an ulcer...anyway so today I went to the doctors.

They did the usual...check mt weight, temputure, heart rate and all that fun stuff. Well then it was time to get my blood drawn. The nurse asked if I had gotton my blood taken before and if I fainted at the sight of needles. I said yes I had had my blood drawn and no I don't faint at the sight of needles. So she stuck the needle in my right arm... and it started giving blood...and then stopped. She pushed the needle in farther and was touching around my vein...anyway she pushed it in a little farther and stuff and I felt terriable.

My mom asked me how I was doing and I said "bad". A minute later I said "I'm gonna faint" and then there were 10 moms, blackness and...I fainted. My mom says my eyes rolled back in my head and I stooped forward. Well the next thing I kn ew I was laying down and they were putting cool clothes on my head.

I was clammy, and my stomach was killing me, and my arm was in pain. I was kinda there but still kinda out if it. It was a new expierence.

When I felt better she drew the blood from my other arm. So now i know that when I need to have blood drawn it must come from my left arm..not my right.

My right arm is sore and I can't really move it without pain. So i have typed this whole thing with one hand. And that arm is way tired. But at least I have a good story to tell. LOL

We might know the results to the blood test tomorrow. I will let you all know what happens and keep you updated.

I would love prayers! I am hoping that all goes well and that it is not to expensive to get me feeling better.

Joys of a Family

I LOVE my family....even when we have our moments..like when my brothers put a moth down the back of my shirt...3 times...and when my sisters make a mess of our room and try to blame me...cause I take out their toys and play with them right?? or when the baby hits me when I am trying to take care of him....

Yep all these things happen.

And the moth down my shirt..AHHH!!! It was so gross. And then the other day there was a HUGE moth outside the bathroom window. I mean the size of a playing card. My brother grabbed me and pulled me to the window and tried to grab it to put down the back of my shirt!! I screamed, started hitting him (as best as I could in a huge bear hug/grab) and called for my mom. Luckily he didn't do it. Oh I would have been so freaked out!

But these our some of the joys of being in a large family.

We tease and pull tricks on eachother...all in good fun of course. We may mess with eachother but if someone outside of our family messses withone of us we are all there to let them know not to.

And because I have such a big family there is usually never a dull moment. Though truthfully I sometimes wish for more alone time. But if I do need some time alone my mom and Dad are pretty good about keeping the little crazies away.

So here are some of my "Joys of a Family" moments. If you have any "Joys of a Family" moments I would love to hear them. Just leave a comment. =)

Tearful Parting

Tearful Parting

weeping she poured out her soul
knowing
that this would be
the last time
she would be able to contact them

words of love
poured forth
tears
traced lines
down her face

her quill
ran along the paper
saying all that could be said
though it would never be enough

silently
with trembling lips
she read
her words

she folded
the tear stained
stationary
then sealed it
with red eyes

would they read it?
would they care?

how she wished
she would be able
to see their faces

as a second thought
she wrote
on the bottom right corner
please take care
of my sweet baby child

I love her.

stealing silenty across town
holding her litttle infant
wishing it could be differnet
knowing that it couldn't

stopping on the stoop
she breathed into the
sleeping baby's ear
I love you
I wish I could keep you
be happy
sweet one.

sobbing loudly
she knocked on the door
and ran swiftly
under the cover
of night

Wishing
she could stop time
and stay with her baby
forever...


Here is another sad poem. This poem and my poem Memories were all stirred partly from this book series I have been reading. It is called Abraham's Daughters by Beverly Lewis.

I will be posting another poem soon. The thought also comes from this series...in a way.

I hope you all enjoy it!

Update

We got a new keyboard!! Yes! So all I have to do is adjust my schedule some and I should be posting more regularly now. =) That will be nice. I miss sharing my thoughts and writings with you all.

Sorry!

I haven't been on my blog in a long time...too long of a time. our keyboard broke and so we have to use an onsceen one. It is torture. So I have not written anything or even gotten on my blog because I knew if I did I would want to write something and then I would torture myself and try to write and then it would somehow get deleted. Trust me this happened 5 times!

Anyway enough about my problems...I just wanted to say that I am sorry and that hopefully I will be able to post something soon. (Incase you are wondering, I am at the library right now.)

WOTW #2 - Memories

The WOTW prompt is: Frayed Ribbons.

To learn more about Writing on the Weekends go here.

Here is a poem that has been swirling around my head for a few days. When I read what the prompt was it just seemed to fit in with the fragments that were already floating around in me.

Enjoy!

Memories crash around me
like stormy ocean waves
knocking me over
Unable to escape the battering
I succumb

As the pictures
of things past
flash across my mind

The willow tree
where we sat talking and laughing
unaware of things to come

Starless nights
dancing
under the moon
just you and me

The many gifts
you so tenderly gave

The one I cherish the most
is the gift you gave
the day you went away

That single white ribbon
wrapped in flowered paper

Now wrapped
around your letters
written so long ago

A symbol of our past
those now frayed ribbons

Almost whole yet not
they symbolize
our memories
and what could have been
before the day
our lives fell apart leaving

only....

memories.

I would love to hear your thoughts about my poem.

Sweep...Dust...Fold...Arrange

Today my aunt and grandma arrived for a visit. So before they came we were cleaning. Cleaning my room was first on my list.

And to make even more cleaning for me Mom said that I had to clean under my bed. Horror! lol

My little sister recently rearranged her part so I figured I would do the same thing. Yes, I just seemed to want to make more work for myself.

I started by cleaning under my bed. I figured I would tackle that first since it would be the biggest mess and I was going to move my bed. I went at it with a fury. I can be a good cleaner when I decide to and my Mom is not telling me to.

I cleaned under my bed moved my bed and desk and emptied a clothes bucket. Whew! Then I had to clean the top of my desk, dresser and Hope Chest, sweep the floor and dust.

I promise my room is not as dirty as it sounds! lol I just have a terrible habit of throwing clothes around. I don't leave food or plates around up there...well except fr an occasional apple core...I love eating an apple and reading a good book. Pure bliss!

Anyway, after I cleaned my room with help from the other messy culprits. (My 2 little sisters...although neither of them own up that they are the ones that leaves toys and stuffed animals around. They say it is me. ) I came downstairs. To find an unswept and a little messy house. What?!? Totally unlike my mom. There was half an hour left before they would get here. Why wasn't she sweeping? Because she was helping my brother make a puppet. He wants to be a puppeteer.

So I grabbed the broom and swept. I asked my mom, "What's wrong with you? You're acting like me!" (all in good fun of course) She replied, "Yeah and your acting like me!"

So yes I can clean and move quickly when I am motivated.

I did have a lot of fun cleaning and arranging. I loved making the place clean and presentable. Although I guess I could have leaved it how it was since it was pretty clean anyway. (My mom runs a tight ship. But even then it gets messy with all 7 of us. ;)

Anyway, it was a fun day. My grandma and Aunt are here and we have had so much fun. I will post more about our visit later.

Here are a few good quotes that go along with my day.

The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow. But the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work. ~Patricia Clafford

On judgment day,
If God should say
Did you clean your
House today?
I will say, I did not.
I played with
The children and I forgot.
~Sue Wall

Management is about arranging and telling. Leadership is about nurturing and enhancing.
~Thomas J. Peters

Have a good day/night! And if you have to clean a room go at it and try to have fun along the way. It may not be your favorite thing but just think about all that you are accomplishing!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.
- Miss Piggy

Tendrils of Love

Here is a poem that I wrote about our garden.

Tendrils of Love

Hello
cordially they murmur
stay for a time
in our little space of world

the red capped
and nodding heads
of cosmos, zinnia, and marigold
beckon
reaching out,
tendrils of love.

waiting,
to wrap you up
if you will only linger
long enough

keeping you
wrapped with love
petals caressing your face
like a tender kiss

Few stay
long enough
to be caught and wrapped
in the world of...

Flowers, sun,
careless days,

Come, stay.
we will treat you, like one of us
supporting, intertwining,
nurturing

as you
grow with love

Fun, Fun, Fun....under the stars....

Tonight was a blast! I had so much fun. After work I went out on the boat, played soccer, kayaked, and enjoyed a bonfire.

Here is a poem that was sparked by my kayak ride tonight.

Black water,
moonless sky
a million stars

gliding
effortlessly

a trail
of days past
following
never catching up

peering into blackness
not sure
what lies ahead

trusting
in the One that cares
to guide you
through the black

softly breathing
straining to hear
marveling

at the wonder
of stars,
cricket chirps
and

bends in the road
behind and ahead

pondering
what the future
holds.

~ Wild Rose

Hope you all enjoy! I loved being alone yet sharing the kayak with someone else, paddling through black water with a million stars over head and a midnight black blanket draped around me.

Writing on the Weekends

I decided to do this Writing on the Weekends activity. Jessica, from Literary Pursuits, came up with this.

This weeks writing prompt is the word Lost.

It seems like a lot of fun. Here is goes.

Lost.

I strain against all the odds
trying to form
a map in my mind

Did I pass this fallen
mossy log
or take a right through
the shimmering creek?

I disagree with what I think
forming an argument in my mind
yes...no...yes...hmm...
it goes on and on

Footprints lead away
and so I follow
thinking that this is my trail

I wander and soon I am back
to no place at all

a weeping figure
shrouded by the leaves of a willow
raising my faint head
I whisper
"Where am I?"

I know it can't be,
no, I won't admit it.
Like a cat hunting it's prey
the unwelcomed thought seeps in...

I'm lost.


Hope you enjoy!

Klutzyness

Arianna, the author of Random Thoughts published a funny post about her being klutzy!

Haha! Her post made me laugh. I am also a klutz! I run into walls, trip on my shoes, while I am wearing them...And many other things. When my mom read the post she said "Hey, sounds just like you." I am not very graceful...

I have a few stories to share. I have always been klutzy but it got worse a few years ago. It doesn't help that 2 of my 3 friends that I hang out with a lot are very klutzy too. We are not a good combo. Luckily one of us is very graceful. But then she *is* a dancer.

One time during this town activity I had an embarrassing fall. We were standing in a circle talking next to a flower garden with a brick border. One of my friends moved closer to me. So I scooted over...and tripped over the bricks right onto a bush! Oh it hurt! And I was surrounded by like a million people...ok so I am exaggerating a bit it was more like a hundred or so.

But that same day one of my friends had an even bigger trip! Right in the cross walk! He was saying how his town is better and our town is lame and Bam! He tripped on nothing! We all had a good laugh over that. Especially since we were in the town he was dissing. (All in fun of course;)

I have had many other klutzy moments and I know there will be more to come!

I appreciated the laughs!

If you are a klutz or have any klutzy moments I would love to hear your stories! Just leave a comment. =)

Feelin' Feminine Skirt Challenge: Day 7

I can't believe I am done! Wait, amend that. I can't believe the week is up! It seems like I just started!

I am so glad that I did this. It was really fun and it helped me out. I found a few more skirts that I can wear. Like my green and brown skirt from day 4. I knew it was in my drawer but I had only worn it once. And I also acquired a few new ways to do my hair! It also helped me learn how to pose for pics.

I would highly recommend doing the 'Feelin' Feminine Skirt Challenge'. It was not only fun but if you don't wear skirts often or would like to start wearing skirts more it is a fun way to get into it. And you get to share your experience with other girls. How cool!

Hair: Today the front section (like my bangs and an inch or so more) of my hair was pulled to the side. Then all of my hair was pulled into a ponytail. With my white ribbon. 8) Go here if you would like to see where I got it from.

Shirt: My favorite black shirt.

Skirt: My fun flowered skirt.





A funky pic. My cameras night setting does this. It doesn't work like it should. Can you tell?

I look like I have wings! lol I decided to post this to add a little something to the last day of the challenge.

Hope you enjoyed the 7 different hair styles and skirt outfits!

Makeup Case

Imagine...looking for your lipgloss, (or chapstick), or any other makeup item in the darkness of your purse. You can't see clearly and you have a bunch of other random and important things jumbled inside of this small space. You grope around and then sometimes have to dump all the contents out just for that one elusive thing. It can get aggrivating! Especially if you are looking for something small...like tweezers or eyeliner.

Well, one easy way to organize the makeup in your purse is to get a container for it.

The othere day when I was looking for my lipgloss I had to pull a bunch of things out. My glasses case (that I rarely use) included. Then I had a great idea! I could use my glasses case to put my makeup in! I did this and it all fit. Yeah! Now all I have to do is take out my glasses case and there it all is. No more groping around!

So my tip is that you can use an eye glasses case to put your makeup in. It is easy to find and if you wear glasses you can actually use your own case. (I don't use my case for my glasses 'cause I wear them all the time and they don't fit in the case anyway since my little bro. twisted them.) We had an extra case (that we picked up once at the thrift shop) lying around the house so I put my mom's makeup in it for her. So it is a frugal way to store your things!

Feelin' Feminine Skirt Challenge: Day 6

Day 6! I can't believe that it is almost over!

Today my mom did my hair in a side french fish braid. -Instructions here.- With the front of my hair pinned back. I am wearing a new beautiful skirt (that my mom got for me from a thrift shop) with my long white t-shirt. I love the colors in the skirt.

Driving!

I am so hyped up! I just drove home. I have my permit but I don't drive often. Today I drove around town and all the way to my house. I did pretty good if I-do-say-so-myself. (even if it did take us half an hour to go 9 miles.) *sheepish smile*

Well I had to be doing good or my mom would never have let me drive home. I have driven around town before and in a parking lot but never on main roads. I am pretty excited. I saw someone I know when I was driving and he waved but I was concentrating on driving so was not about to wave back. I did get more relaxed after a bit though. Yah!

Maybe now I will be able to drive with mom more often. I hope so! It was so much fun!

Feelin' Feminine Skirt Challenge: Day 5

Day 5! I think this is my favorite outfit so far. The shirt and skirt are one of my favorites.

My hair is in two low pigtails with 3 twist braids and a white ribbon to top it all off.

The pics turned out great! Thanks to my Wonderful Mom. I edited them a bit ie. cropping, shading, black and white. etc.



See my horse in the background? I love this pic. It'll be worth any chigger bites I get. lol



Me blowing a kiss. =)
