31 Days of Joy

Today's joys are 4-H and homeschool!

I've been having such a good time doing new things with 4-H, this year I'm trying to put the most effort I have so far into my projects. I'm really mostly excited for the project called "Passport to the world" where you find all the info you can on a specific country. Except, I'm having the WORST time deciding between Ireland and England...grrr!

Even though being homeschooled doesn't exactly make me "cool" by my peer's standards, really nothing helps me concentrate and feel cozier then sitting at the kitchen table, candles lit, schoolbooks surrounding me and the snow falling outside. Ahhhhh...

31 Days of Joy

Today's joy is...Facebook! It's addicting of course ;oP But also because it helps me get over my lonliness of CTE friends and of course, Anna Jeremy and Evan. Of course not all my friends have facebooks but those that do, we keep in touch. And it's such a spiffy site. So many creative ideas to be funny and make each other laugh, like giving each other virtual bumper stickers and writing on each other's "wall". :D

31 Days of Joy

Today's joy is...CHOCOLATE!!! Kattie came over and we spent the day making peanut butter balls and buttercream mints and dipping them in chocolate. There was a good amount left over so I crammed a leettle too much in my mouth and the result was well, you can guess. ;p

31 Days of Joy

Today's joy is the wonderful relaxing feeling you get when you realize it's Friday night and you don't have to get up at Too Early O'clock to shower and do schoolwork. Ahhhhhh.

31 Days of Joy

Well, silly me forgets a mere two days after making a commitment. It's me, me, me all over. :sigh:

Anyway, today I'm joyful for my membership at Xsport and hot apple cider.

Yesterday I ran half a mile and walked fast half a mile on the treadmill. I did a mile on the elliptical (made easier to accomplish courtesy of Spongebob played on my T.V. ;p) and biked a mile and half. WOO!

And right now I'm drinking my cup of apple cider, cinnamon-y and what more should be said? :)

Today's joy is...SNOW! It's completely covered the ground here in IL and is fit for packing...I see snowman making my future! Can't fully get into the Christmas spirit without it, now can you?

31 Days of Joy

I'm going to post something to be joyful about every day for the whole of December. And, for a challenge I'm abandoning the obvious - Family, Friends and God.

Today I am joyful for Broadway. Broadway broadway broadway, I eat sleep and breathe it. It's my thing, where would I be without it? Les Mis, Phantom, Wicked, Urinetown, Joseph, Aida, Annie, the.list.goes.on. and on!
