My short post before bed

I am hoping to start writing again soon! I am not trying to leave you in the dark. A lot has been going on and blogging has not been a top priority for me. But I will start blogging. I am still trying to figure out how to balance school, friends, social life, family, blog, and hopefully work and still have a desire to do those things. Things have been so overwhelming these days I have little enthusiasm for any of it. But! Tis only a season in life! At least I hope. I need to get to bed soon so I will not write much more. I had a good night. I went to youth group and had a blast! I have been so blessed to have the friends I do. Our lesson was on balancing living a righteous life and living in Gods grace. More balancing! Ugh! :) It was really good! We had a visitor tonight that really got into it! He asked thought provoking questions and was challenging and it was awesome! He really seemed to want everyone to dig deeper into it rather than let the leader just preach at us. He seems like a cool guy! I hope he comes back. But I have no idea what his name is! I can't remember for the life of me! hahaha! Then he killed everyone in a game of Mafia! haha! It was so much fun! Although I was the first citizen to be killed! Killed! Just because a few people suspected I was guilty! And for no particular reason! Ugh! The injustice! lol! Well I really need to get to bed. School tomorrow! Fun, Fun, Fun. (If you read between the lines there is a hint of sarcasm between each Fun. Just in case you were looking.)
Very tired,

Nothing to do with myself

I currently have nothing to do with myself!
lol!
Actually I just finished my school work and have a mile long list of things to do that I am hiding from.
I need to get cattle papers pulled together for a local farm.
I should tune my guitar. Notice not really a need but I would like to have it happen. If only guitars would tune themselves! Oh wouldn't that be wonderful!
I need to clean my room.
I need to find a good exercise routine to start doing in the mornings.
I need to stop making lists and start doing these things.
Well. Now I need to go watch the baby! Oh how I love finding new ways to avoid tasks!

Happy Happy New year!

I hope you are having a great start to the new year! I think I am! 2011 is looking very promising for me! I think it will be a great year! I am having trouble with the cutting off of coffee but I will push through! To read about that click on this link! http://52cupsofcoffee.blogspot.com/ It is another wonderful blog being written by the one and only, Thriving Cowgirl! lol! I have found I am addicted to blogging! Anyway, before I get to rambling I better get to the point!

I GOT MY BEST GRADE FOR ALL SEMESTER IN CHEMISTRY TODAY!

It was awesome! Awesome I tell you! I got the fourth highest grade in the class. I am homeschooled but I take a chemistry class with other homeschoolers. I enjoy it! I have not really gotten to know as many of the girls in my class as I would have liked to. But I am sure by the end of the year I will. I am not good at Chemistry. Not good at all! This year Chemistry and French are killing me! I am averaging A's in every other subject! I don't like French so I am not too surprised I am not doing well in it but I like Chemistry! I should be doing better! Oh well! I am slowly bringing that grade up! I will have it mastered by the end of the year. It always happens that way for me! I am noticing a pattern. I don't do well with Fall semesters. I guess it is because you are not very hopeful of the summer yet. Now with the spring semester starting in a couple of weeks I am ready to fly through it to get to Summer! Well I will try to write more tomorrow. I am going to bed now.
Tomorrow I will tell you about the tattoo of a polar bear I just got on my hip!
Signing off for the night,

New Years Resolutions

This is the time of year where everyone makes resolutions that rarely last the whole year. So now it is my turn to tell you how I am making these resolutions and I will really keep them! I promise! Well I say that every year. So I am gonna level with ya here. My resolutions will help me start the year with enthusiasm and the excitement will dwindle and by December I will not even remember my resolutions. So here are my resolutions; 1) I am going to only have one cup of coffee a week, 2) I am going to learn how to play guitar better, 3) I am going to find a job, and 4) I am going to try and visit my friends in VA more often! Number 4 I think will be the easiest because I am getting my license in March although getting my parents to consent to allowing me to drive that far may be hard. We will see. I have a few months before I will be able to start on that resolution. I have only had one cup of coffee this week. It is only Sunday though. I had one yesterday and I will not have another one until Saturday. It is going to be a long week! But I can handle it! Hopefully! I bought new strings for my guitar and I am going to start going through a teach yourself guitar kinda book. So far I can play a G and a Gm chord! Wow! I am the fastest learner ever! lol! Just kidding! This is the one I am most concerned will dwindle away. I am going to start looking for a job asap. So far no one around here is looking for help. Small town with nothing but fast food restaurants and grocery stores. Which if you think about it that is like all the high school jobs I could want! But because of the economy these days that is where most adults work. When I get my license I will be able to drive farther to find work. So then I will look more seriously to find a job. So there are all of my resolutions and the details of them! :) It is going to be a great year!!!!!! I can't wait!
