Journal Entry...

Not another step nearer! *And let me tell you, she can pack a punch! *

...yah, I know, I should be posting more often. Sorry about that my friends, but perhaps I can make up by telling ya'll what I've been up too!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yesterday was a very busy day...music lessons(5 all-in-all)first, and then a fairly restful afternoon later on. THEN...I went to do chores. Now, any of ya'll who have seen our barn know that it's NOT made for a lot of animals. You know, like what we have. :D It's actually a horse barn, with 3 stalls and a HUGE aisle right down the barn. So, little, and awkward. :D
When I came in, there was a big wheelbarrow full of cow manure right smack-dab in the way, so I proceeded to pull it out and empty it. Actually... I TRIED. The ancient thing only can be pulled as general rule, Rarely agreeing to being pushing like a obedient wheelbarrow, and it weighed aprox. as much as I did...complication #2. So...that took a while, and then I cleaned out the milking stall, which really did need it. Complication #3 came when I decided to start hauling water buckets...not a big job, but I got water down my boots... So THEN I milked. :P You may imagine I was a bit tired that evening!

Makeup---sorry guys, another girly post.

I don't wear makeup. "Why not?" people ask. "Is it like a church thing or something?" And no, it isn't, if you were wondering also. And I'm not Amish. Or even Morman, for that matter. :D So, why then? For a few reasons, and since this is my blog, I shall state them right...here. :D

#1: It's easy to overdo. Very, very easy to overdo. I have seen many beautiful young women who looked like they had a mask on. Or worse, looked like they just came from a nightclub. This is not to say it can't be done correctly, but I do not have the wish to work with it right now, esp for reason #2.

#2: It clogs pores. As a very acne-prone teen, I have enough trouble as it is, so I don't need anything else. :P

#3: I want people to see me how I really am. I am not perfect, nor is my skin. I don't want to wake up and have makeup smudged everywhere, esp with the work I have to do.... :D Farm work and makeup refuse to work together! :P

So, "will you ever wear makeup?" Maybe. But I don't have plans right now. :D "Would I wear stage makeup?" Absolutly. There is no sense in looking like a seasick mariner. :D

A Jane Austen Quiz!

Take the Quiz here!

Well, of course I would be. :D
This is what it says about me...

You are intelligent, witty, and tremendously attractive. You have a good head on your shoulders, and oftentimes find yourself the lone beacon of reason in a sea of ridiculousness. You take great pleasure in many things. You are proficient in nearly all of them, though you will never own it. Lest you seem too perfect, you have a tendency toward prejudgement that serves you very ill indeed.

That "tremendously attractive" part rocks! :D I didn't know that... but faults! ee...faults? Me? :D LOL
Guys, there is one for you, but I don't know where...look it up!

Have as good a day as we are!

Right Here, Right Now.

Welcome to the new generations world. That would be us.

The Bees and Me!

Well, as many of you know, last year we started our adventure with Bees last year, and it has been a very interesting and wonderful experience! Sadly, one of our hives did not make it, but we still have one, as far as we know. (for those of you who don't know lots about Bees, you can't open the hives during the winter, because it gets to cold for them.
Here are some pictures...
