Just a Thought

Here I am, sitting at my desk,
Thinking, thinking, I couldn't think less
Twirling milk chocolate hair
Through gentle hands,
Thinking about great fantasy lands
Colored horses, fairies with powers,
While sitting upon giant flowers
The ability to fly and to sit on a cloud,
And greeting the King with a graceful bow
Talking to birds, and other creatures above,
Speaking about His wondrous love
Brought back to earth, hearing a call,
"Yeah, Mom, I'll vacuum the hall."

Thursday Thunder

Well, you might think it's raining here, but it's not. Thunder was the only word that started with "th" to go with Thursday that I could think of, except: the, thinking, thorough,.....well, maybe I just didn't think hard enough.
Actually, today is pretty sunny. So you can tease me all you want, because I know that sun is the total opposite of thunder.
My Dad and I are going to FUN Camp this weekend. Well, tomorrow, I guess. Man, I'm really dumb today. Anyway, it's an outdoor camp for fathers and their kids. My sister, Erin has gone there two times, one after the other. Or twice in a row. OK, this is starting to bother me. OK, back to the subject, you and your dad go fishing, do archery, shooting, canoeing, etc. It's a really FUN Camp. That was a lame joke, I know. But at the camp, the first night you sleep in bunk-beds in a dorm-like room, then the next night you sleep in a tent outside. It sounds amazing. Here's the link to it: http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/search/node/fun%20camp%202011
Just click on the "FUN Camp" link and you can look at the page.
I seriously cannot wait.

Crawfish Boil

Yesterday I went to my Grandfather's Annual Crawfish Boil. Only this time we had crawfish, crabs, fried catfish, and french fries. Oh how I love this day. Almost the whole family was there. 16 out of 19 grand and great-grandchildren.The whole Hinson family. I mean you know, at least my MOM'S family. Our family is the Holloway family.:)
So yes, I do love this time of year. But it also means.....getting ready for the SUMMER!

Oh, Dear Homeschooling

I love being home-schooled. Fifteen minutes ago (which was by the way 2:13 PM) I was sitting in a coffee shop enjoying a delectable bagel with cream cheese. Yum. Really, I mean what public or private-schooled kid gets to do that on a Tuesday afternoon? And what public or private-schooled kid gets to have a North Carolina BBQ Sandwich, after getting out of Book club at the Library? I mean, really. I just love being home-schooled. I just really, really do.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 'Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.'

Sisters' Night Out

Last night I and my sister, Erin, went to the mall for some fun shopping. Our parents went to Books-a-Million, and we went to Charming Charlie, Maurices, and Claire's. We took lots of pictures, and I got these cute dinosaur earrings. I also got a cute new haircut!
We had a very fun 'young women' time!

Tips on Coffee

Well, this IS another coffee post, but you'll just have to understand that I love coffee.
OK, here are three random tips about coffee:
#1: When you have coffee in a cute little mug, sit on the couch, read, and most of all: Wear fuzzy socks.
#2: If it is study time, sit at a desk with a goose neck lamp, and occasionally sip your hot coffee.
#3: If you are just hanging out with a couple of friends, or just pampering yourself, make yourself an iced mocha.
**Bonus tip: Try the new Almond Joy liquid creamer. It's pure amazing-est-ness. Also, don't be afraid to try new things.....because anything is possible with coffee.
