Country, Fall, school, gotta have it all! ;)

It's official! There's fall in the air! Today is beautiful, but just a tad nippy! Breezy, cool, Acorns pinging off the car (and Neighbor's roof!), leaves are starting to fall (oh dear!!), Sweatshirts, jeans, and Country music!

 

 

It would appear as though everything I was dreading a few days ago (Fall, school, youth group, etc.) Is actually perfect! I'm going to miss the summer air, swimming, etc.... But I also love the fall baking, the crisp air, sweatshirts, jeans, being with other people, etc. It's all beautiful in it's own way!

 

Still adjusting to a few things, but all in all, Life is good! =D

 

 

 

 

The Plague that goes by the name of... School...

It has officially come down upon our household! The horrible, the deadly, the enemy of all things fun, the evil plague that goes by the name of... SCHOOL. It has struck again! Just as we were getting the last of it out of our system from the LAST time it struck! Whoa be to anyone suffering from this plague! The many symptoms include: sleeping in odd positions over text books, un-explainable headaches, Brain aches from an over-dose of information, yawning, homework, missing pencils, un-explainable urges to jump up and down and scream at the top of your lungs, the un-explainable urge to have a huge bonfire (with some sort of paper as a fire starter), messy desks, and so many other DANGEROUS symptoms! The worst news of all is, the only way it seems curable is by the Summer winds! Until the summer winds blow, there seems to be no stop to the Disaster of School!! The best you can do it batten down the hatches, and hope you can master the ups an downs of this plague... I wish all of those suffering under it's evil hand the best of luck in their fight against it!
And now I must leave to go and try to relieve myself of one of the worst of it's symptoms (homework!)
Good luck in your own fights! I will keep you updated through out the year how the fight against the plague is going!

Till then...

I am just having some fun describing school in this way. I have nothing against school, and realize it's importance in my life, in everything I do. =) Thank you for reading!

School of Minnows-Jane Keefer Frey

School of Minnows

by

Jane Keefer Frey

Down in the brook where the water runs cool—
That's where the minnows are going to school!
What do they study, I wonder, and then,
When do they get to go home again?

Schools for the fish aren't like mine, I guess—
No teachers or blackboards or books—just recess!
When Daddy says, "Look! School of minnows there, Son!"
It sure looks to me like they're just having fun!

Back to school daze...

I can't believe school is about to start up again! It seems like this summer has flown by... and in about a week, school starts again... That just doesn't seem fair! I feel like there's so much I need to accomplish before school, so many things I haven't done, etc...

I'm also a little stressed, because this year is the year I need to figure out what I'm doing... Do I want to be a photographer, do I want to work with children (and if so, what profession/area? Teacher? Daycare? Orphanage?), do I want to work with animals ( animal trainer? pet shop worker/owner? Vet? Breeder? Rancher? Farmer?), Food/sweets (Baker/Work in a bakery? Chef? Candy store? Culinary arts?), Books/Writer ( Librarian? Author? Poet? Bookstore: owner, or worker? Journalist?) etc. There is so much to choose from... I feel like Barry from the Bee Movie... So many choices, but I don't want to be bogged down with just ONE thing for the rest of my life... I want to have freedom to do what I want... I also don't think I can stand being in an office, cooped up, ALL day long. I need to be able to walk around, be able to talk without feeling like I'm on speaker, etc. I can't stand being in offices that are so quiet you can LITERALLY hear a pin drop, you can even hear the employees BREATHING. HECK, you can hear their heart beat!!! No, definitely NOT for me...
So, among many other things, I need to try and pin point what ONE thing I want to do with my life... It will be difficult for sure!
I'm trying to make a goal list for this upcoming year... Kinda like New Year's Resolutions, but in this case, Back to School Resolutions...

1. Work more on my blog! I need to focuse more on keeping my blog updated!

2. Work on keeping my Etsy shop updated! I need to figure out prices, and all that fun stuff! ;)

3. Learn to live more funly! ;)

4. Try to complete some things on my "bucket list"

5. Try to complete some things I've started over the past year, and have just never finished... That crocheted purse I started 2 years ago, those latched hook pillows I started (and almost finished!) from 2-5 years ago, severeal stories, etc. You get the idea ;)

6. Convince my parents I need a couple of girl's day out with A.) My Aunt and B.) My best Friend... I can't believe it's been over a year since I had a "Girl's Day" with my Aunt! Actually, it's been exactly 1 year, 1 month, 2 weeks, 6 days, OR 417 days! Need to remedy that soon! =)

7. VISIT THE MALL... ;)

8. Actually do some of the things I pin on my Pinterest boards! ;)

But for now, I must be heading off... Saphira is warning me to get off ;)
