Muppet Mania!

Ok, so if you know me ( and if your reading this you must ) then you probably know that this post is WAY over due. I have posted about everything that we have been into since I began this blog. I mean, there's a post in there for Ducktales, Doctor Who, and (I think, but I'm too lazy to look ) even Spongebob. Take a look at the theme of this blog for goodness sake! The whole thing is a tribute to Herbie ( whom I still adore, but our separation has become too painful to talk about ;) So it's only fair that should take a moment to tell you ( as always, as if you cared ) about my family and the Muppets. Of course, the Muppets aren't just some new thing that we suddenly stumbled upon and were captivated with, I have loved them since I was a child, just like all my sisters, and as far as I know, my parents too. So why the Muppet craze all of a sudden? Huh, dunno. I think it started when we found "Muppets Take Manhattan" on Netflix instant watch. Which inspired us to rent "The Muppet Movie" which inspired me to buy "The Great Muppet Caper" which inspired Mom to rent us "The Muppet Show". Not to mention, "Muppet's From Space", "Muppet's Treasure Island", and even "The Muppets go to the Movies" a lost TV special only released once on VHS in 1981 ( in case you haven't noticed, let me clarify the fact that I am a nerd! ). My little sisters love them as much as I do, and I am still trying to get them to stop asking for me to put on "Muppet Babies" like I did that once when I was babysitting. Note to self; the 80's can mess up anything and I don't think it get's any more messed up than "Muppet Babies". Naomi can name all the Muppets ( and I mean all of them, from Kermit to Scooter to Beauregard, and that's more than any of you folks know!) Esther loves "Fraggle Rock" and has told me matter-of-factly that she is going to marry Fozzie, Gonzo and Wembley. Anyway, I think it's about time I came clean and admitted that I have enjoyed this phase just as much as everyone else has, and if you wanna make me really happy, ( and let me know you read this all the way through ) leave a comment and tell me who your favorite Muppet is! Feel the nerd-love!

Nothing in Particular...

I hate that. "What?" That title. It is the most obnoxious thing ever. I'm sure we've all been on Face book at one point to be utterly annoyed when your friends post there status as "Nothing in particular..." Agghh! I hate that! So let me get this straight, nothing at all has happened to you in the last twenty-four hours? Nothing?"Well, duh, that's not what people mean when they write that. They mean nothing of interest has happened to them." Oh, well in that case, allow me to offer you a suggestion...DON'T WRITE ANYTHING IN THE BLANK SPACE!!! Now I'm gonna stop. I never meant to drag the point on for so long. I have been meaning to get back on here and start blogging again ( here is where the reader roles his/her eyes, mutters "like we've never heard that before." ) Unfortunately, though I love the life I am currently enjoying with my wonderful family- it holds little interest to the average reader. I could mix things up a little and tell you that we were all captured by samurais, I escaped, shipwrecked, and am now writing this with my last bit of cell phone battery...but that would be lying, and to quote Charlie and The Chocolate Factory- its "Frowned upon by most cultures." ( yes I'm weird, random movie-nerd! I enjoy it thoroughly!" So I guess I'll just have to tell you that we ( meaning Mom ) have planted a garden which is growing nicely, I have an interview with David Byrd tomorrow about Foundations Collegium ( yes, I know, What? I'm still wondering the same thing ;) and we have a new momma cat and four adorable kittens. Today is also the birthday of my wonderful, not-so-little-anymore cousin Erin! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I am now working on two books instead of one. "Pursuer of the North" is still coming (slowly) along and I am writing a little short story for my sisters (it involves the Muppets, hold on to your hats!) P.S. Only for my sisters to see!! Better go, I have sleep to get...not. Nighty-night!

Little girls, little girls, everywere I look...

I CAN SEE THEM!!! Yep, that's right, babysitting again. All I can say is, it's a good thing I got some sleep last night. Poor Mom had to go to a birth this morning, and Dad isn't coming home till late, so that leaves me, lucky me, look at what I'm drippin' with...LITTLE GIRLS! Honestly I love it when I babysit. We can play all sorts of crazy games, or we can just chill out and watch movies ( of course, whichever one we pick Naomi wants to do the opposite ) And not to mention I couldn't have picked a prettier day to babysit, so I can always take them outside to play. Oh, and BTW... if you read my last post you probably remember what I said about starting to blog again because I get so many more comments? Maybe you didn't catch my drift, what I meant to say was COMMENT PEOPLE!!! SHEESH! WHATS A GIRL GOTTA DO! I WANNA FEEL THE LOVE!!!!!

ME...SO...LAZY!!!

Right, well, what I mean by lazy is that I'm lazy when it comes to blogging. Really though I'm very diligent at another well-known Internet strategy to take up time and allow people to annoy each other without ever having to get within five miles of them - facebook. Aahh...facebook. But anyway I decided to start blogging again when I realized how many more comments I got on my blog than on my "Status Updates". I mean, I get way more responses when I wright something like this then when I put "Locksley Camille Hooker is brushing her teeth." Because then your just like "uhh...OK, Why did I wanna know that?" ( And yet we continue to check it everyday, sad, really) So I'd better tell you some of the things that are going on. Well, Ruby's birthday is in a few weeks..but that's nothing important. Was is important is that my fourteenth is coming up...soon. The exact date is NOV 11. I think we are probably going to do a big birthday party for both of us together with the home school group, sometime in-between, and then each get a little family trip out to eat on our real birthday. ( double the presents, MWAHAHAHA!!! ) SO it should be fun. Now I'll bet your wondering about what I haven't posted about yet...Herbie. Well, poor little Herbie is STILL at great-grandmom-Arthur's house. I did get all those parts to put on, but haven't actually put them on yet, what with Dad having to travel with work and all. But hopefully he will help me with it this week while he's home. Well I'd better go now, It's a beautiful early fall day. The birds are singing, the grass is green, and I haven't checked facebook for more than ten minuets!!!

Happy Easter

Sorry it's been so long since I posted I've been pretty busy with Easter and stuff, plus we were sick all last week. Easter was a lot of fun for us, we got to dye and decorate Easter eggs, then we hunted for them, and then we ate them deviled! ( yes I know, shame on us for eating deviled food on Easter Sunday! ) It's not everyday you get to eat eggs with blue and pink spots! Unfortunately one of the eggs wasn't found, were all hoping someone else finds it before we do.lol. Oh and BTW, It's Esther's Third Birthday!! Well, technically, it was Esther's birthday. But am I supposed to admit that I missed blogging about two holidays? Esther is also now sporting a new doo. that's right, Mom and Nina finally got up the nerve to cut those gorgeous curls of hers. But, no matter how sad Esther kind of decided for them when she took Mom's scissors and cut a big chunk out of her hair. Mom got her cut shorter too. They both look great, oh and speaking of looks, what do you think of the new background?

Southern Sky Outdoors

Hey, I'd just like to tell you about the really cool new site my cousin and her family put together. It's called Southern Sky Outdoors, and it's really neat. They sell all kinds of outdoorsy - type stuff. So check it out and tell us whatcha think.

Update

sheesh! Sometimes I think I'm the laziest person in the world! Well anyway I'd better at least start getting you up to date. First of all, yes, we have moved. And no, we are not moving to NC. secondly, I bought new parts for my car!!!!! You know what I told you about needing a distributer? Well not anymore! I finally got it! Unfortunately there is a neighborhood rule that says that it doesn't allow ( in a mocking voice ) "cars that don't run" in the neighborhood ( blah blah blah mean people and there rules blah blah ) anyway Herbie is cozily abiding at my great gandmom Arthur's house, ( sniffle sniffle ) without me. Also, I actually got a sorta-lika-job thing. I get payed a quarter a piece for ironing Papa and Dad's clothes! Oh, and me and Dad found out that it will only take around $150.00 to buy the numerous parts so that I can start him with a key.
