THE RETURN // NOMINATION #1

I have returned. It took awhile, I know, and I wish I had some pretty excusable excuses; unfortunately, there aren't that many. But we won't dwell on the past..

Yup. His face speaks of true pain. I cannot stop watching it over and over. 

My laptop came back - still with no name - and I did, I promise you I did, have many really interesting topics and subjects on which I wanted to write about. And then I forgot one of the key rule thingy I wanted to point out on the most important subject. The whole many weeks before, I kept walking around imaging my "article" thing and how to write it and beautify it - alert, alert, key word here - and all that jazz. And having it just slip out like that is really almost impolite.

*throwing the blame around like confetti here*

But really, it has been slightly crazy here. I had to take an ACT test on the 13th. I need to make a 24 on it so I can get into college early, but I don't think that's happening. I'm lucky if it's 22. IF. As if. Yeah. And the kidos left awhile back with the birthing going all right, thankfully.

Right now I'm staying over at my sister's house. We planned to go swimming tomorrow on my niece's birthday, but the lady whose house we were supposed to go just gave birth. How great is that? But I also really wanted to go swimming. I haven't been swimming for three years now and I really miss it. I'm glad the little guy is finally here, though:)

What's been going with you guys lately?

-


I am seriously so happy that I made the decision of becoming a blogger. I was bored and I wanted to do something that none of my friends or family knew about. I wanted to do something different, something new. And I did it. And now I have friends and a family whose kindness and friendship I'll honestly never forget. I love you guys!


Now this really lovely person I call my blogger friend, Paige from Sunday Best and All the Rest, tagged me in the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award.



 Thank you so much Paige! It has been one of my dreams to be tagged in some type of an award! (I was also nominated in another award so that's coming soon!! Eeep!!)
Here it goes:

rules: 

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you, linking back to their site. 

2. Put the Award logo on your blog. 

3. Answer the ten questions sent to you. 

4. Make up ten new questions for your nominees to answer. 

5. Nominate ten blogs.*

I'm afraid that I cannot nominate so many due to, just, things..?


 questions // answers:



1. Have you ever been in a choir or other singing group? I actually have and still do. When I was a little kid in my old church I used to go to the kid's choir.. good memories. And in my new church I used to sing with four other girls my age. Now I sometimes sing with the youth choir. 



2. Do you have any strange or unusual talents (e.g. wiggling ears, yodeling)? Not to my knowledge. Now I'm asking everyone I know if I have any XD I'm learning to raise my left eyebrow.. does that count as a talent?? But my niece can lick her elbow..


3. Do you find wombats cute and cuddly? YES!!! I want one nowwww!!!!!!!!! Someone buy me a wombat please.........
how can you not find them all cute and cuddly..?

4. What was the last song you heard? I don't even remember what I ate for breakfast... usually..

5. What were you very happy to accomplish last year? Uhhh... I don't... know??

6. What do you hope to accomplish this year? To get into college; learn a lot of piano techniques; get into better physical shape; improve my photography skills; and just improve myself and who I am.
7. Given the choice, would you rather have someone over for dinner tomorrow or go to someone else's house for dinner? It really depends but I'd go with dinner at someone's house. But only if they cook very good.. (or is it well?)

8.  If you could be a pen-pal or e-pal with someone from any nation, what country would you choose (it can't be a country in which you already have a friend)? Russia for sure, but I also would love Australia or Austria!! 

9. What is one thing you disliked doing as a child and now enjoy doing as a teen or adult? Definitely sleeping, and eating vegetables - yuuumm, and sometimes being left alone. I also love getting clothes as gifts; I remember hating that.. 

10. Has blogging changed you as a person? If so, how? Can't really say it has changed me, but I love feeling and knowing that someone somewhere reads my stuff and appreciates it(?). Love the little fluttery thingy when someone hopes you feel better or just really anything.. it's like you really mean something. Doesn't matter what prompted them to write, it's that they actually took the time to write.

1. If you were asked to speak to a graduating class, what would you say?
 2. What is your happiest childhood memory?  What makes it so special?
