*Cheers*
I finished the Red Pyramid. :) It was very good, very funny in some bits, and longer then I thought it would be.
It was a little dull in the beginning, but it got more interesting farther in. And you know, this book was based off the Egyptian gods...one of my favorite characters in the books is probably Anubis...and Zia...and Sadie...and Carter...and the rest....
But, good book. :) I read on the internet that the sequel is coming out in Spring 2011, can't wait. :)
Soooo, guess what? I fisnished the second Pendragon book today! Yes! Now I've started The Red Pyramid, which is written by Rick Riordan; so far, I think it's pretty good! :)
Also, my friend Chris recently sent me this:
Star Wars is awesome, no?
I thought the picture was pretty funny, in fact, lately Chris has been sending me several funny pictures, though this is the only one I saved.
(Though Chris, if you're reading this: the Harry Potter one was hilarious.)
In other news: tomorrow is my weekly CAP meeting, though I doubt I will be able to go. Since Saturday I've had a cold/bad-allergies thingy...and my Mom says that if I'm not completely better by tomorrow morn' then I'm not going. So today when I did call-down for my element I had to let my assistant (yes, I have an assistant -how cool is that?) know that he would need to take over my element if I'm not there tomorrow.
His name is Brandon, though all the cadets call him either Cannon, or the Muffin Boy...it's kind of a long story -but a lot of cadets in our squadron develop nicknames...and Brandon just happens to have two! Lol. Though I do not yet have one. (Good thing, right?)
I'm about to go outside and check on the chickens/goats/ducks, then I'm going to take some pictures! I'll post some soon!
Love, Peace and Potatoes,

Journee.
P.S.
Andrew, you know where that 'Love, Peace, and Potatoes' thing comes from! Lol.
I just finished the first Pendragon book! Yeah!
I'm just about to start the second...they are pretty good books. : )
After I finish the second I'm going to but more -sometime.
Journee,

Over and Out.
My new books came in!
Yesssssss!
^-^
Six new books...and I haven't even finished the other books I've been reading lately!
But I'm happy...and was hoping these would come in today.
I'm starting the first Pendragon book first...and then I'll start the second!
(Shocker, right?)
Here's another view...
(Duh -duh -duh -duuuuhhh)
Lol.

Over and Out.
We went to my grandparents' house yesterday.
And I took pictures! :)
Birdhouse!
Ooooo, fountain-thingy.
A skull!
Water drops!
Dolly!
Look at her little beard! :)
Such a pretty dawg.
Hm.
No people pictures.... Ah well. :)
Anyways! I hope you enjoyed those photos!
Everything is going good here; the baby ducks and chicks are doing well -they are now running around the chicken lot with the other birds and my goats.
My bantam hen Jellybean is sitting on 5 eggs, all fertile! Hopefully they will be hatching in the next week or so.
We also have a gamebird sitting -Willow calls her Sun -she's on 1 'duck' egg. This egg is fertile, and is way behind Jellybean's eggs (I have candled them,) and she started sitting way before my bantam, which makes us think she has a duck egg. And -well -we found the egg on the ground.
^-^
Hopefully we'll have some more baby birds so!
*Cheers*
I have also decided to start running again.
Starting today.
Hopefully.
*Coughs*
I'm going to try to do two miles today.
But first, we must concentrate on worming our doggies.
Mom has just confirmed that Duke has tapeworms.
Great -eh?
It probably has something to do with all the dogs chewing on an old beaver carcass....
Bleh.
I bought 7 new books last week.
My Daddy took me out to eat and to Mckays for my birthday!
A little late...my birthday is in November, but I had a great time all the same!
:)
Here are my new books:
The Sherlock Holmes books are awesome!
We saw the movie not long ago -I loved it!
And so, of course, I had to buy two books, each with about 12 stories in them about Sherlock Holmes!
Then I have those three Redwall books, that Seekers book, and a Star Wars book!
Yeah!
^-^
The weather is continuing in its path of awesomeness!
It has been sunny and clear outside all day today!
Yeah!
I have a two things to say -
Firstly:
Guess who's staying under my wing again? -Dolly!
I don't have any pictures right now... in truth I've been rather lazy today, you see, I'm a bit sick, my Mom says it's allergies...but I don't know. All I know is I'm been feeling right bad today, and yesterday, for that matter, but worse today.
And secondly:
I finished Fire Bringer, two days ago, really; it was very good. As good as a book can be about deer!
And I've started Fell; I'm over half-way through, and it's quite good, though I would have named it something else! Fell -he's a wolf -really doesn't seem to be the main focus of the story!
That is all; see, nothing really new. Dolly so far today is doing good, she's been playing with Zelda half the time she's been here!
She really likes playing with Zelda.
That is all.
Over and out.
Hello, peoples!
Yes, I'm still alive, just hiding.
^-^
Have not had just a whole lot to post about, except, that my two younger sisters, Quinn and Indy, have both celebrated their birthdays.
Quinn has turned 12, and Indy has turned 10. Happy Birthday! Sorry I'm a bit late!
Things have been going good here, all of our animals are doing good, the baby chicks have gotten quite big, I'm going to take some pictures soon.
The weather has been terrible, rainy, old, rainy, windy, dark....
I just can't wait for the warm weather; the filling up chicken waterers five times a day weather, the mowing every week to two weeks weather....
In other news, I've finished all the last books I bought, the Fablehaven, and those....And I just got three new books in the mail yesterday morning. I got Fell, which is the sequel to The Sight, I forgot the author's name....
I also got Fire Bringer, which by that same author; I'm reading that one right now....
And I got a book by Claire Bell, called Ratha's Creature, the fire book of the Named. I've already finished that one, and it was very good, about big, wild cats.
I finished the 473 page Fablehaven book -cough -last night! At exactly -cough -10:25 PM!
I started the next Fablehaven book -Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary -this morning, and I'm almost half-way through! Though I've been taking care of my younger siblings and playing with my new tablet -which I got yesterday shortly after my books arrived.
The books are great, of course. The imagination the writer must have! I swear, it's amazing.
My tablet is pretty cool, also. But it's hard to use. It's going to take a lot of practice! I've played with it for around an hour today -and I think I've got the general idea of how to use it...hopefully I will finish a picture sometime, then I can post it -on one of my Blogs, at least!
^-^
Dolly is doing really good -she was pretty wild last night; there must have been at least two coyotes out in the woods hollering. Dolly bristled up and started howling. It was pretty darn funny -though it was also in the middle of the night...so that wasn't good.
The baby chicks are doing great, too. They are getting quite big -and also quite messy. Mom wishes the weather was warmer, that way we could move them outside from time to time to run around and play in a little pen.
Little Diamond has some pretty: whitish-buff colored feathers now. But, she still sleeps an awful lot. And is so cute! With her little beard and all.
^-^
Cody and Johnny are getting very VERY mischievous. I was holding Cody just a moment ago, trying to type the earlier parts of this post -and he got himself stuck between the couch cushions.
I used to hold them on my bed a lot; but now just doing that is hard. They have no fear! I have a small desk at the end of my bed with the dog treats, Norbert's crickets, and the rat food... I was on the ground one day, replacing their old cage bedding with new, and I noticed I hadn't seen the rats in a while; they had been running around my bed, occasionally peeking over the end to look at me....But they were nowhere in sight.
I got up and looked around; I found them hiding under my pillows munching on some rat cubes -apparently they figured out how to get into my animal-food stash on the desk.
Little varmints.
^-^
They are the greatest pets -so much personalty! I'm amazed all the time.
On a side-note: Johnny REALLY likes surgery cereal. And he likes milk. I figured that out today at breakfast.
Cortana is doing very nicely also. She plays a lot during the night now -and tries to sleep through the whole day. Either me or my Mom feed her while my Dad is at work -she love her special milk, but Mom and Dad say it's almost time to wean her.
Norbert -my precious bearded dragon is still sleeping for days at a time.
When he does come out, though -he begs to be fed. Which is one of the cutest things to watch -in my opinion. He'll stick his big pink tongue out to swipe at the glass of his cage. He eats a lot of the crickets I give him -then, he sleeps.
And sleeps.
Then poops.
Then sleeps again.
It's a hard life -really!
Don't you be fooled!
^-^

All the very best,

So, we'll just see how fast I can read these things.

And I ordered a tablet for Photoshop, it's basically just a special pad and pen, you write on it, and the scrawls show up on the computer.
