FYI

As we go into summer, I just wanted to announce I’ll be slowing down a little around here… probably not very much but I won’t be blogging everyday consistently anyway. You will probably see more of me in June than July because, outside of December, July is our busiest month. I will be concentrating more of finishing school also,  so you might get more fluffy posts than deeper ones since my head will be in other waters. Besides, our summers are so very hot (normality is around 110 degrees) so, my brain will slow down a bit from the heat anyway.

But I won’t disappear completely. I do have at least four posts in the works to be published soon. So anyway, keep nearby!

Toodle-ooh.

The Titanic, Writing Update… Et Cetera…

A lot of stuff is going on right now. Like, our family getting ready to leave for a week. We’re attending Vision Forum’s celebration of the brave men and boys who all died 100 years ago on the Titanic. In Missouri. So, this up-coming Tuesday, we’ll be leaving! We’ll be gone for an entire week. While I’m not super hyped about attending the actual Titanic thing (the museum will be cool), the road trip will be very fun. We have Focus on the Family Radio Theaters entire collection of the Chronicles of Narnia to listen to in the car, even! We read The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe together over the past month. Seriously. Weirdest book ever. While it was okay, I’m really wondering how the heck it became a classic. I’m sure the audio books will be better and the movie had better be worth it’s pinch of salt, but I don’t expect to become a Narnia freak anytime soon.

Friday, Mom and I went shopping to get somethings for the trip (like candy) and I bought a new, super nice briefcase for my laptop fo the trip. I also got Jewel Quest III and Zumba to play in the car. And than at Goodwill I found Toy Story and Toy Story 2 on DVD, so I’ll be bringing those with me too. Kayla and I have a duel plug for two sets of headphones, so we might watch the movies together.

I’ve also completed the four character bios for my short story within the World-Building Deadline I created for myself. I’m quite proud of myself and I’m all set for two and half weeks of busy writing to beat my deadline. I’m determined to finish the first draft during the car ride and to have it all finished by the 21st. I’ve also been tossing around the idea of mapping out some things, but I don’t really have a clear idea yet of what everything looks like, so I’ll either draw up something after the first draft is finished or I simply won’t bother with that.

So, anyway, I’m off now to update my picture blog (I’m looking forward to taking pictures during our trip. I think I’ll be bringing Iron Man figure with me, and maybe even Chewbacca and Captain.) While you can expect daily updates here on my blog, I might not get around to uploading pictures on my blog till we get back homes, so. We’ll see. Yes, I’m nervous about leaving Princess home alone, but at least we have a neighbor coming over to feed her and the chickens.

So. Now y’all know the big news (unless you follow my picture blog, I announced this earlier in the week over there! ) I’ll try to keep up with everyone’s blogs but I might not have time to leave comments, though. Just know, I will be still looking!

And no. I’ve not seen the Titanic movie. Nor do I want to. Besides having inappropriate content, it’s horribly inaccurate. But I love all the shots of the ship.

Oh, P.S. I’m playing the prelude for church tomorrow. I’m extremely nervous, as it will be the first time I’ll ever play for church service and I’ve only had rare practice playing in front of a lot of people. However, the girls have shown good confidence in me, so they’re quite encouraging. I’m planning to do my very best. If you remember me tomorrow, could y’all say a quick prayer that my nerves don’t take over my hands? Thanks.

A Fresh Look

It’s been over nine months since my last theme change and I think it’s about time we got a ‘fresh look’! With my sister’s assurance, I’ve picked ‘Forever’ for my new blog theme! I really like it; the nice thing is that nothing is rearranged or in a different place except that it’s looks a little different. We’re under slight construction still, just so you know.

I’m a Co-Author!

So, one of my favorite blogs to visit is Fangirls on Felucia, run by my two best Internet buddies Savanna and Jedi-Chick. It originally started out as a blog made for Star Wars fans but they recently expanded to also include Indiana Jones, Tron Legacy, and the Avengers! I was especially excited about the Avengers!

But I was than approached with the offer of co-authoring the blog! Today, my first post was published on their blog! From here on out, I’ll be providing, every other week, a Star Wars or Avenger related post for the blog! I’m SO pumped up about this and am looking forward to the following year as a co-author for FOF as long as it’s in existance!

Thank you so much to Jedi-Chick and Savanna for asking me on board!! I’m so delighted and honored to join!

So, why not take a moment to visit FOF and see my first introductory post? And if you’re here because of FOF, than welcome and considering sticking around!
