I'm bored, therefore I post.

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.

  1. I had a decently long comment written out exhorting you to keep being content, but I didn't figure that'd be necessary. :)

    Your blog is hilarious to read though I don't know why you don't get more commenters. And I wish my school was starting soon. I got home too late and the class was full. Bummer! I'll have to do a bit of reevaluation of what God wants me to do now. I prefer already knowing.

  2. LOIS!

    Love the Cinderella sidebar thing. Too true. I will quote that whenever I am buying a new pair of shoes that I don't need. It's crazy, but I think there are more girls who hate shopping around here than there are girls who love it. I'm on a mission to change that. It's not going well. But I'm not giving up hope.

    Hum, yeah, I would probably be tempted to complain if I wasn't in Montana and could be. Hang in there hon. I wish I was in SD right this moment, and look at me, I'm fine!! Or not. It's not like you can see me.

    Your cynicism is catching, dear. Do try and cure that before it becomes an epidemic.

    For further end-of-summer blues, see my blog. I know it's not like you need help in that area but hey, sometimes misery needs company. :)

  3. Aw, my dearest Lois!! I would totally give you a hug right now if I could!!! I miss you like the dickens and can't WAIT to see you again. I have a serious case of Lois withdrawals right now... ;) I mean, there's serious and then there's really serious...this is serious. :D Love you SO much and counting down the days to seeing you again. :D Last thing I want to say...you're awesome!! :)

  4. You make me laugh, Lois. :D What would we do without ENTPs!!??

    Spend that gift card on something totally FUN because you've earned it. You're a stronger woman than I-- Target is the BEST and I know I would have found something to spend it on. (And then get home wonder why in tarnation I bought such a thing and spend the rest of my days loathing it with all of my being... )

    aaanyway: Hope your dad gets better fast. Love you!!!

  5. What in the world is a CHspe test? I take SAT, but never heard of the above. I totally agree with your math troubles. I have the same, only not as bad. I now have an intense hatred for letters x, y, and z. School has started here, and I sympathize. Btw, if you have no idea who this is, and are thinking about making an emoticon to give me a KO, this is Nathan Girkins, fomer Californian, now high-lung-capacity Coloradan. :)
