"... Oh what can it mean, to a daydream believer and a homecoming queen..."

Hello!

    I hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas! Ours was awesome. Lots of fun, and good times. We got a Wii! Yay!  :D  It was fun to see Grammy, Pappy, and Aunt Nina unwrap the scarves I had made for them. I love giving presents.

    It's been so nice having some of our family here. Aunt Nina is leaving today, and her visit has been lots of fun. We went driving around where the Amish live on Saturday, and we got fried pies. Yummmm. I'll miss having her here, but hopefully she can come visit again before too terribly long.

   Granny and Grandpa surprised us by arriving yesterday! We didn't know they were coming up. It's nice to see them again. Granny brought up two huge suitcases full of lots of clothes and some shoes for me from Aunt Penny. I was so happy! My whole room looks like a closet right now, but that's okay. They also brought us some mullet, (which is a type of fish). We haven't had mullet in a few years, so that was a treat. I wanted a piece of key lime pie with it, but we have an overabundance of chocolate right now, so more suar is the last thing I need! I'd prefer to still fit in my jeans by the time the candy is gone, thank you very much. Then again, I can burn it all off on the Wii Fit...  LOL

   I re-did my blog, as you can see. All new music, too. Sorry to anyone who doesn't like country music. But I do like it. *grin* You can always turn it off..... or you can leave it on and maybe you'll find a new song to love? Who knows.  :)

   I'm not sure what we're doing for New Year's Eve. I might be spending the night at a friend's house, if Daddy says it's okay. It'd be nice to go over again; ee haven't seen each other for more than a few minutes since the day after Thanksgiving.

   Oh yeah, and my title is thanks to my love for "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees. I danced to that song in one of my recitals... such fun.  :)

   It's about time to leave, so I need to leave. Ciao!

Hugs,

Oh, it's the most wonderful time of the year....

Hello!

   I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Ours was really nice. I love holidays.  ☺

   Mama took Nanny, Mary, and I Black Friday shopping with her! I'd never been before, but I had a lot of fun. I want to go again next year. ☺ We picked up my friend Laura and her mom on our way to town. Even though it required getting up very, very early, it was nice!

   Laura came home with us for a few hours, then Daddy took us both over to her house, and  I spent the night. That was lots of fun, as usual!

   I got a "Frost & Glow" kit at Walgreens, and Mama put the dye in my hair on Friday afternoon. It turned out nicely. Not a extremely noticeable difference, like, "Oh my, your hair looks awful!", or anything like that; just a few different shades of reddish- and blondish-brown running through my hair. So now my hair doesn't resemble its usual dirt-like self.  ☺  Now if I can go get some bangs, my hair transformation will be complete..... hint, hint, Mummy......  LOL

   Our cows got out this morning. So Daddy, Thomas, and I put them back where they belonged. My job generally isn't hard; I just have to stand somewhere to keep them from going the wrong way. It only gets interesting when the cow wants to go that way, despite your standing there. Then you have to kind of bounce around, and make them go the other way.


   Our house is about halfway decorated now. There's a few more boxes to dig out of the attic, and Thomas gets the job of putting lights up on the house. We bought 5 red pointsettias at Home Depot, and one is for my room, so that it won't look bare and gloomy.

   I'm going to change my blog; now I can make it look festive!!  ☺

Hugs,
Rebecca

I decided to write a new post, since I'm sure that people are going crazy waiting for a new one..... not. :-D

Hello!

    Are you tired of my last post yet?  :-) 

    I spent the last two nights at my friend's house, which was really fun! (Thanks for having me over, Laura!)

    My sister Natalie got her ears pierced in August, and she was able to take out the first studs on Thursday. She had to leave out her earring in one ear on Friday, because it was hurting her, and we wanted to keep any infection away with cleaner. Apparently, the earring was out for too long, because the piercing started to close up! Oops. Just a minute ago, Mama poked the earring back through, and I distracted Nan by telling her that if she didn't get it poked through, she'd be a pirate with one gold hoop, and we'd get her a fake wooden leg and a parrot named Fred, et cetera.

    Granny and Grandpa got here on the 10th, and they left on the 17th. Their visit was very nice. It was good to see them both!

    I'm really looking forward to Christmas. I mean, I look forward to Christmastime every year, but this year will be Fun. Every other year has been fun too, but... you know what I mean! This year, we get to have Grammy and Pappy here, and - I just found this out a few days ago - we get Auntie Nina as well! Yay!  :-D  It's awesome that's she coming down here. I prefer holidays with more people around. The more the merrier and all that. Plus, Granny, Aunt Penny. and Sushi are coming up right after Christmas.  :-D

    I'm to the part in Jane Eyre where, (If you've never read the book then don't read this any further!), Jane and Mr. Rochester are getting married. I love the part that says that religion was far from Jane's mind at that time; that she couldn't see the Creator because she was so blinded by and in love with His creation. The way Charlotte Bronte wrote that passage just seemed like a really beautiful way describe something like that, to put in words the way we can become blind to the Lord because we get distracted by His creation.

    Right now, I love the song Lose My Soul by TobyMac. It's on my playlist at the bottom of my blog, if you want to hear it.

    I need to go now; we're eating dinner in a little bit. We're having pizza and watching Miss Pettigew Lives For a Day. I'll let you know how it is.

Hugs,
Rebecca
