Hooray! Another Tag!!

1. Fill in your memories of 2008.
2. Link my blog to yours.
3. Tag others, and comment on their blogs so they know they've been tagged.

I was tagged by Melanie at Complete in Thee

A good book I read:
Birthright by David C. Needham

A great film/movie I watched:
Pride and Prejudice (the BBC version) The best!

A new place I visited:
Umm…I don’t believe I visited anywhere new in 2008!

An inspiring verse or quote I read:
“Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.”
2 Timothy 2:22

A new skill I acquired:
I learned how to make delicious chicken parmigiana!

A lesson I learned:
That my purity is a great treasure and it should be guarded as a priceless jewel.

A moment I will always remember:
I will always remember the first time I saw my nephew. He was all wrapped up in his daddy’s arms and, oh, the look on my brother-in-law’s face! It was such a happy moment!

I tag everyone who peels their bananas from the "wrong" end!

Sincerely,
Miss S.

My Very First Tag

I feel kind of weird saying "so and so" tagged me, when they merely tagged "all who wish to participate", but…I've always wanted to do a tag, and I've got to start somewhere, so here goes! Let's say that Jasmine tagged me on her A Tag! post.

Rules:
* Post the six to ten things that you do on a daily basis.
*Link to the person who tagged you.
*Tag five other people.
*Leave a comment on the blog of the person that tagged you letting them know you posted this on your blog.

Here are my six things:

1: I journal. Every day I wake up, read some scripture, and then write in my two journals. Yes, two! One is for writing more spiritual stuff and the other is for writing more daily happenings stuff.

2: I listen to music, whether on headphones or on the speakers set up in the living room. I can't concentrate very well without it!

3: I dance very randomly in the living room (to the music playing, of course).Sometimes it's faking ballet, sometimes it's swing dancing at an imaginary 50's party, and sometimes it's waltzing with an invisible partner. : )

4: I walk. When the weather is decent, I walk outside. When it's not, I relish the opportunity to go to the grocery store!

5: I daydream. This is a habit which I wish to break (at least somewhat)…I think I daydream far too much. : )

6: I stare out the window, and look at the splendor of God's creation. It's truly a blessing to be able to see the beauty of nature!

I tag everyone who likes to frolic in the rain!

Sincerely,
Miss S.

A 50's Girl at Heart

I admit, I'm a 50's girl. Almost everything from that era appeals to me. The fashions, the cars, the lifestyles…why do I like it so much? I recently made myself a 50's style dress. I plan on making another. I'm drawn to that whole "Housework in heels" look. I like their movies and music. I've been told I would fit in one or two hundred years ago, but I would feel much more at home fifty years ago. What is it about the 50's that intrigues me so much? Is anyone else drawn to an era, or is it just me?

Sincerely,

Miss S.

Legs Are Nice

Mom and Sally O'Sullivan both stated that they would like to read 'random' things. How's this?

I walked a ton yesterday, and I have four blisters on one foot and two on the other. I love to walk. I like to walk with people and I like to walk alone. When I walk I like to sort myself out. I think walking is very peaceful. Sometimes it inspires me and sometimes it strengthens me. Sometimes I find out something incredibly important while walking. I'm quite thankful that I have legs.

Sincerely,
Miss S.

An Update on Me

Do accept my fervent apologies for not posting anything for such a long time. I haven't been busy. I don't have an excuse. Time flies when you need to post. It's kind of like writing in your journal. You think of it, but you don't get around to it. The only difference is that nobody reads your journal, so you don't need to feel bad if you don't write in it for weeks or even months.

I have some questions for you, readers. I was thinking of posting weekly articles. You know, the same sort of article every week. For example, a recipe every week, or a poem every week, or a bible verse every week. How does that sound to you? Do you have any ideas? Is there anything you would like to see me write about? Post your ideas in the comment section, and I'll think about them.

Sincerely,
Miss S.

Words, Nonsense, and Writing

Don't you hate being forced to write? When you are made to sit down at a desk with a blank computer screen in front of you and told to write, what are you supposed to do? Thankfully, this has never happened to me. (Didn't I fool you there?) I've made myself sit down at a desk with a blank computer screen in front of me and told myself to write, but nobody has ever actually forced me to. If words flow out of my fingers and onto the keyboard, then I write. However, if I simply stare at the screen until my eyes get fuzzy and my brain begins to shut down, I don't. Of course, I've never really had any real reason to write until now. Not that that has anything to do with being forced.

I can feel my eyes beginning to close.

Never mind!!! I'm awake!! What was I saying? Ah yes, I was saying nothing. Isn't that what usually happens? I can't write right now, my mind is too discombobulated. Maybe I can try again later.

Sincerely,
Miss S.
