Prismism

Chocolate sparks my creativity...

Oh and for those of you who would never have guessed what this is, it's a lava lamp as seen through a prism...

Elephant Stew

Here is an old recipe my mom just dug out of the cupboard. My grandma sent it to her.
Elephant Stew

1 Elephant
2 rabbits (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Brown Gravy (lots and lots)
Bay Leaves to taste
Apple Cider (lots and lots)

Cut elephant into bite-size pieces (this will take about 2 months). Marinate in lots of apple cider. Add enough gravy to cover. Add spices. Cook over kerosene fire for 4 weeks at 444 degrees or 'til tender. This will serve approximately 3,799 people. If more are expected, the 2 rabbits may be added, but, do this only if necessary, because most people do not like hare in their stew.


haha perhaps you'd like to try making it?

My new music playlist

It's on the sidebar... the green box. It won't play automatically, so if you want to hear any of the songs I've put on it so far, please push the play button. :) I'm planning on adding some more soon so be sure to come back and check for updates...

Handel's Messiah

Last Friday night I went with some friends to BMA (the infamous local SDA academy) to see, and hear of course, their Handel's Messiah program. It was really nice, my favorite songs were "Drummer Boy" and the "Carol of the Bells". I wish I'd have recorded it. Of course they did a lot of other songs but I only recorded 3. I'd post them on here but I keep trying and the upload is taking forever...

I'm going to try adding a playlist of songs in the sidebar. I really like classical and it is good for your brain so yeah it'll probably be mostly classical pieces.
My parents are getting me a keyboard for Christmas. It's a Yamaha. I wanted either a Yamaha or a Casio so this should be nice. They are out of stock but I should get it by my birthday at least. I'd like to take lessons too.

100th post!

I didn't realize it til now but my last post was my 100th post! yay... but wow what a 100th post.

:(

My rabbit died last Sabbath... I've never had a pet die before. I really miss him. I still can hardly believe it. He was the sweetest bunny ever. We are going to get a new rabbit or two if we can find them (lop eared of course).

Today's post

Wow Christmas is coming up pretty soon! Tomorrow our church is doing a Christmas program (I think it's a little early, but anyway). I'm in the church choir, which will be performing. And afterwards there's going to be a social with a white elephant gift exchange and a talent show. I'll be playing a duet on piano with my friend and I'll be accompanying my sis on piano while she plays violin and recorder. I would have liked to get a little more practice in, but I guess we'll do that tomorrow too.

We took our rabbit to the vet yesterday. He has mites but he got an Ivermectin injection that should kill them off eventually.

I got this video of my rabbit jumping up a flight of our stairs.

Wow I wish I could hop that fast!

Awww my rabbit and dog are pals. My dog even loves eating apples now, I think he might have learned that from the rabbit LOL .

Holidays

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I have so much to be thankful for!

Christmas is coming up, and I can hardly wait! I hope it snows again soon.

Thanksgiving is good, Thanks living is better!

My computer

I got a new computer! It is a Windows Vista manufactured by Gateway. It's actually not new, it's refurbished, but so far it's doing great! =) I'm looking forward to installing the wireless router so I can use the internet on it. I'm so excited to finally have my own computer!!! I just hope I don't get tempted to spend too much time on it.

Free Rice

My sister found this website, http://www.freerice.com/. It's a game where you learn vocabularly words, and for each word you get right, the website (sponsored by different buisnesses) donate ten grains of rice to a hungry person. Today, it took me a while, but I donated ten thousad grains of rice. That's more than a cup. I figured out there are 9600 grains of rice in a cup. Anyway, you can click on the banner in this post or the one in the sidebar to go there.

Mas nieve!!!

our camoflauged van

Yep, we're getting more snow!!! We probably have more than six inches now, and it's still coming! Many of the trees are getting so weighted down by their leaves and the snow that their branches are bending tremendously and breaking off. We went sledding last evening, today I want to build a snow fort. Thanksgiving is only a few days away, I can hardly wait!

Nieve!!!!!!

It has finally snowed here!!!!! So far there is only an inch or so out there but it is still falling... what makes it even more beautiful is that most of the trees still have their colorful leaves on them, and it is like winter and autumn at the same time. Here's a slideshow of some pictures I took...

sorry it has the Ratatouille border but photobucket wouldn't let me make the slideshow any other way.

I'm back

Well I'm back already. We did spend an extra day there in Virginia Beach. We went to the aquarium, I got to pet stingrays and a horse shoe crab, that was fun, we watched a 3D movie on ocean dinosaurs, that was cool, and I think I had some pizza every day, lol! I also fed seagulls, watched television (I don't get to do that very often!), walked by the beach, saw an ocean sunrise, and... got a a big wad of gum glumped in my hair (that is something I'm glad doesn't happen very often!). Yeah it was a nice vacation for the most part. And the afternoon we got back I also went to the Fall Fest at BMA, which was quite fun too, except by the end of the day I was sooooo worn out.

Well not too much else has been going on here now unfortunately. At least nothing of interest...

Virginia Beach

We're leaving for Virginia Beach in just a few minutes! Wish me fun! I hope the trip doesn't seem too long. I'm kind of freaked about having to go through that long tunnel under the Delaware River. Yeah I've been in a long tunnel under a river before, but it was kind of creepy that time too. And kind of neat. We got a hotel room by the Beachfront, it's in the Dolphin Inn. I thought that was a sweet name. It will be too cold to go swimming in the ocean so we're going to go swimming in the hotel pool instead (at least I won't have to get sand stuck in my swimsuit like last time, and taste that disgusting tasting ocean water!). And I think we're going to go to the VA Beach Aquarium and other stuff maybe too. It's too bad we have only one full day to spend there. Well the van may be ready to leave without me, so long!

p.s I'm bringing my camera so expect some pictures when I return!

Mistakes

I think too little about what I do and then after I do it I think too much about what I did and then I feel so stupid that I wish I were small enough to crawl under a leaf...
