Although, really, I don't know why I bother. :)
The
McIntires had me over last weekend. It was a total blast, and I would post more about it, except Sarah hasn't gotten the pictures up yet. *COUGH* (
Isn't it wonderful when you can blame your laziness on other people?) Apparently, Jonathan and I had the same bright(I use the word loosely) ideas as kids that got us into tons of trouble. Perhaps this stems from that fact that both Jonathan and I are ENTP's and are the first-born. Our childhood was eerily similar, although Jonathon had more toned down versions of my ideas. Do I care to elaborate? Not particularly. Suffice it to say that it had something to do with bell peppers, mud, flinging, a fence, and neighbors yards. Feel free to ask me about it sometime when I'm at my leisure. Anyway it was the most fun I've had for a while....and that's saying something. BTW, all of you doubters out there (you know who you are) I went to Target...and didn't buy anything!!! Not one solitary thing! And I even had a gift card. So there! (It's my blog. I reserve the right to occasionally post things that make me feel good about myself...however few and far between they are. If you don't like it you can leave. :) )I'm not looking forward to starting harder math problems. Yuck.
I am looking forward to driving. Hello freedom! (Well, as much freedom as can be attained with a responsible adult riding shotgun.) It's a crying shame I don't know any irresponsible adults.
Laugh, twas a joke. Or don't laugh, it's not like I can hear you anyway. My, my, Lois...where's all this cynicism coming from?? I dunno. Don't you ever get like that for no reason, and then start randomly babbling away on your very public blog?
Oops. Good thing it's my blog...and not yours. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that Summer is rapidly drawing to a close and I have a whole '
nother 9 months of responsibility, accountability, and punctuality to look forward to. Torture. Yes, I know I need to grow up, but Jonathon said people like us are the "fun type" anyway, and NOTHING is fun about school. Except for, maybe, those moments when you've been studying hard and you have a light bulb moment as suddenly you figure out how to solve the problem. Otherwise, it's not fun. :-)
Oh, yes, I may as well mention that I'm more than a teeny bit jealous that my "cousins" are up visiting my aunt and uncle in Big Sky Montana, and quite possibly riding horses, while I am not. I am, however, happy that they got to go. That's as much christian spirit and brotherly love as I can wring out tonight, in my present mood.
Come to think of it, the Lord knows how I'm feeling about everything, and He knows that the best possible situation that I could be in, is the one He's placed me in now. Oh, how often we aren't thankful, content, and happy. It really is something I need to work on. To be content. And really, after such a blessed, fantastic weekend, what am I complaining about. Really, I'm ashamed of myself for moping for no reason. Thank you, Lord, for family, friends, and wonderful weekends to remind us of how your love constantly surrounds us, even when we're thankless and don't deserve it.
Oh, and Daddy would really appreciate your prayers...despite his best efforts, he's caught the flu. We don't know if its from us, or from somewhere else, but he's sick. We're all praying that he gets over it very soon.
I. Love. This. Picture. It's hilarious. Look at Dad's face. If you've been anywhere near my Dad, you'd know what his life's passion is. Fishing. And, of course, giving a detailed account of his knowledgeable prowess in all matters concerning cold-blooded aquatic vertebrates of the superclass Pisces. My father, fisherman extraordinaire. Hahahaha! The expression on Jonathan's face. And Mr. Iorga, ever the stoic. :-P
