A quick check in....

Well, I wonder how many times I'm allowed to say "Life is busy...."...prolly as many as I want since it's my blog..but I hate lame and repetitive excuses that get us nowhere.....so I'll just get on to business.

So I am enrolled in my local community college taking courses while still in my senior year of high school to finish out, and get some college credit at the same time...Taking College Algebra and Spanish 1. I am ditching math after this semester, I have enough to graduate, and I found that I really love languages, even though spanish wasn't my first choice, my mom said that I should take it since it is so common here in Texas.....so next semester I am taking Spanish 2 and Japanese 1...yeah Japanese....I have had this growing interest in Japan and Japanese since the earthquake(s), and I've always had this small curiosity about the country we dropped the first A-Bombs on....I would really like one day to go to Japan and see the country side, I hear its really pretty, and there are natural hot springs.....sounds very enticing.....I actually discovered that Japan kept its doors closed to all foreign countries except some Dutch traders, from around 1550 to 1850. They actually came out to meet the huge American warship (that was there in peace) in their little fishing boats....after that they sent out their students to learn as much about the modern world as possible, and bring it back to their "Land of the Rising Sun". They rose in this new found power and wealth quickly. Anywho, enough on history right now (though I am a bit of a history nut, just don't know a whole lot, I like to find out every single detail on those things I do know.....) but let's move on....So my dad was awarded a new job position up in the Ft. Worth area, so we will be moving, though possibly not until the end of next semester, meaning can finish the classes I've registered in before transferring to the FW area.....we are hoping to find some property with a house on it that we can all fit in...for the right price of course, price is always everything...well besides 'Location, Location, Location...' ...;)

Anywho, that's about it right now, my life currently consists of trying to stay on top of my school work.....and remembering to feed the animals so they don't die...and now it's starting to cool down outside, and in a few weeks, my grandparents will be here for Thanksgiving, with Christmas the Saturday following Thanksgiving....we get it all over with at the same time since they are down here...;) they usually bring more presents if they know we are going to have Christmas....they gave us a Wii last year.....plus we get too put the Chrsitmas tree up early.....instead of the week before Dec. 25th.... oh yeah, and i get to make extra pies for Thanksgiving AND Christmas Dinner.....gotta love the pies....;}...well I'll type more later..

PASS IT AROUND AND MAKE SOMEONE LAUGH!

LAUGHTER IS THE SOUL'S MEDICINE!!

I'm not really a poet, AND I KNOW IT!!!!!!

But enjoy this poem anyway, I was inspired to type out this poem that I have known for years by a friends new blog. His writing style is fun, just like him, so I wanted to type this out cuz it reminds me of him......sorta, this is supposed to be a compliment....... Anywho, also check out his blog: ArdentIsaac

And now here's the poem, more like a riddle, but you don't have to figure anything out....

Lady's and gentlemen, hobos and tramps,

Crosseyed misquitoes and bow legged ants.

Admission is free so pay at the door,

Pull up a chair and sit on the floor.

One bright day, in the middle of the night,

2 dead boys awoke to fight.

Back to back they faced each other,

Drew their swords and shot each other.

A deaf policeman heard the noise,

Came up up and killed those 2 dead boys.

If you don't believe my storys true,

Ask the blind man, he saw it too!

;)

Summer vacation:1

Well, I am in PA in my gparents living room.

We are packing up to head off to PHC for two weeks where are going to study Constitutional Law. I'll let you know how long till they kick me out ;} Jk of course *CROSSESFINGERS*

here in little Sunbury Northumberland area we have had three days of rain since we arrived on Wednesday.........for those of you in Texas, rain is little drops of water falling from the sky......the plants luv it, and you can actually grow stuff with it, even in the summer....;)

So there is a small update.......and Tuesday is a special day..any guesses??????????????????????????????????????? Anywho, I'll be going now!

MAY 22ND!!!!!!!!! CELTIC WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I am going to do a video crammed post....cuz the best way to do Celtic Woman is by hearing and seeing.....to start off, here is the PBS trailer for the concert I went to....OF COURSE I didn't get to go to the one in Ireland.....unfortunetly....but I did get to see this concert....well most of it...but I will get to that later.....;}

The downside was that Lynn and Alex have left the group, and there is now a new Lisa......but oh well....then they left out two songs (that I knew of) You'll Be in my Heart....*STIFFLESSOBS*

and O' America....

BUUUUUUTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

They did do some songs from older tours, some of which are my personal FAVORITES...like Mo Ghile Mear

Dulaman (which we were informed is a song about a girl comparing her two suitors with seaweed.......*NO COMMENT*)

Spanish Lady.....which was the last and encore song....

and my FAVORITIST OF ALL TIME......AT THE CEILI....though I personally like the version I am about to show you better than the one at the concert......it was the same song.....:}

So Lizzy does it work as a good post for the occasion?????cuz ...that is all I have time for right now....

~Woo

Gettin' in Gear for the Summer!!!!

Well, I am still here......sorta..Summer is about to go into full swing mode, as evidenced by the several graduations (of friends I was supposed to be graduating with.....but oh well....I'll do that NEXT year) I have been attending,  and I am once again traveling. My brothers and I (the two 'older' brothers....the ones that are younger than me, but older than the 'tots'...who happen to be growing up...can't really call them 'tots' anymore......*SIGHS*) are heading up to Virginia to Patrick Henry College for a Constitutional Law summer camp they have.....for two weeks....then two more weeks with our Grandparents in Pennsylvania, then on home again.....I really can't wait!!!! we are heading out next week, Wed I believe.....this won't be the first time I have spent a month away from home, and I will be with Family the whole time, but I am still a little nervous, I will be in new territory, (last time I went, I knew the place I was going like my own bedroom) and of course my brothers and I won't be in the same dorm.....girls and guys in COMPLETELY different buildings....ok with me.....but still......yup, I will have to make new friends....*BREATH, BREATH, YOUCANDOTHIS!!!!!*.....every one of the camps at PHC has a field trip, and going by the subject we will be studying and the proximety to the certain location, my brothers and I both believe our field trip will be to Washington D.C......I HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE SO I AM  REALLLLLLLLLLLLY HOPING IT IS......*FINGERSCROSSED* .......................*CRICKETS*...............I guess that is all for now.....I ran out of ranting material....and nothing tooooooo interesting has happened lately.....OH WAIT....OH YEAH....LIZ IS GOING TO KILL ME IF I DON"T POST ABOUT WHAT I DID ON MAY 22nd....but that is "ALL ON ITS OWN" post material.....so.....WITHOUT FURTHER ADO!!!!!!!!!

FEBURARY 24th 2009~MARCH 7th 2011......THEIR GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I GOT MY BRACES OFF....YIPEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....that's all......

~Woo....

Update on bunnies...

There are three little babies...and they seem to be fed, they squirm, and mama has remained calm enough, and is eating plenty...all good signs....I have never done this before, and am excited that my first time is, at least for now, going easy....I worried, since Aslan is pretty nervous.....but I believe she is a good mother..of course, they are newborns, so they are in what I call the 'rat' stage...cuz they are hairless, wrinkled, and blind....aren't real pretty...but looking at their parents helps me know that they will be pretty one day.....I'll post some pictures after they have opened their eyes, and seem to be moving around more..(and maybe grow some hair....;p)...so that will be about 10 days....give or take a day or two......

~Woo

MARCH 1ST......

I NOW HAVE BABY RABBITS.....Aslan had her babies yesterday or today....I am going to say today....She created a fur nest yesterday(good mothering skills there at least....) and I noticed a jump in her appetite today....I reached into the fur ball today and gently felt a little squirming body.....I left so I wouldn't excite Aslan....mother rabbits are jumpy....pun not intened.....and Aslan is a little extra jumpy from some dog attacks at her last home.....that was the reason the owner was getting rid of his rabbits....cuz he couldn't keep the dogs out.....so anyway.....all I know is that she had babies....so i will post again when I learn more myself..

~Woo

Pictures of Rabbits........

Here are some pics for ya'll....so you can see what we got......:}Top is Aslan, Bottom is Ragamuffin......

~Woo

SPRING, SPRING, SPRING.....

I need to post before I burst into song.....cuz that is what my blog title is, a song title...(See Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.....GOOOD MOVIE.....)

I chose the title only cuz what I am about to post about is sumting you might think about when you think of spring......RABBITS!!!!!!!!

Tonight my mom and I went to pick up some rabbit cages we were getting for some Califonia Whites (good meat rabbit) we are getting soon, and the breeder we picked them up from had Lion Head Rabbits....appearanty(or however you spell that) they are a relativly new breed....I had heard of them....didn't like the name....and the fact that beyond looks they are almost useless.....ok they do give fertilizer.....but so do Cals, with meat and good furs.....well, my mom saw them....AND FELL IN LOVE WITH ONE.....so we ended up buying a breeding pair...we got them like half price, cuz the guy is getting out of the breeding business...and you can fetch a good price for them, cuz they are a special breed....so mom wants to get her money back that way.....we got a toirtase shell greyish blackish pretty boy,named Ragamuffin....the one my mom LOVED....and one that I picked, a red female, who I named Aslan, just cuz she is lion colored, and is a LION HEAD rabbit......and it fits....it almost sounds like a girls name.....if you didn't know about Narnia....;P
