Oh Nuts

  " 2  Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a  joyful noise  to him with psalms.  3  For the Lord is a great God, and a great  King  above all gods.  4  For in his hand are all the ends of the  earth : and the heights of the mountains are his."  -- Psalm 95:2-4

Here is the story behind the pillows that I was making, that I said I would tell here. Middle Picture: the original idea. Right and Left Pictures: The pillow cases It all started back in January when I decided to knit a blanket for one of my cousin's who had just gotten engaged. After looking for the right yarn and Michael's, and Wal-Mart, I found fluffy white and black yarn at Hobby Lobby that I decided to use. Once I got several balls of yarn I started working on the blanket. The first blanket pattern I used wasn't turning out like the picture that came with the pattern, I think that was because I wasn't reading the pattern correctly. So I decided to ditch that pattern and start over with a different pattern. After five tries and a lot of tears, hand cramping, and frustration, there wasn't really any tears I just thought it sounded good, I gave up on trying to make anything with the yarn. It was a pain in the neck to use and by the fifth try it wasn...

It was a foggy night And things were hidden from sight. Frosting up windows with dew. Hard to see But easy to hear. Thickly rolled the fog. ------------------------------------- That is the only part of a poem that I started writing a week ago. I started writing it after I came home late from work one day and had to drive through some really thick fog. There was supposed to be more to the poem, but I ran out of ideas and then forgot about it. Since we moved into town and out of the country, I liked the fact the I wasn't driving through thick fog in complete darkness to get home. Even though the street lights helped some, it was still really foggy out. Although I did have the help of streetlights all the way home I still don't like driving at night in fog, or rain/wind. The very first time I had to drive through thick fog at night was a few days after I first got my license and I was the designated driver for when Amanda, Yavi and I went to choir practice on Mo...

 As you can probably see from my word counter for NaNoWriMo , I am not doing that well in my writing. The reason for that is because I have run out of steam and writing ideas for my work in progress. I have also been doing research for a persuasive speech that I have to give next week on Thursday. But today/yesterday/whatever you want to call it, I found two writing prompts on Pinterest, what else is new, that started giving me ideas. Whether or not I use them to finish NaNo this year or not is another story. Even if I don't get around to finishing NaNo this year I can still try to work on my story the rest of the year. Besides not finishing NaNo, school has been going well. Though it is hard to believe that the semester is almost over already. In the spring I am taking a psychology 101 class, Microsoft Word II and a third document formatting class. The psychology class sounds like it will be really interesting. The other two classes that I am taking in the spring are continua...

Yes I am doing NaNoWriMo Or National Novel Writing Month, this year. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to or not because of school and moving. But I decided to do it. This is what my word count currently looks like. Part of the reason why I don't have a ton of words written yet is because I am having a hard time with finding ideas that work with my story. I did come up with an outline, that I am sort of following, but I also came up with another idea I want to try and slip into my story. Part of what made me decide to do NaNo this year was because it would make me start writing the story that is in my head. Even if I don't reach 50,000 words by the end of the month I am still going to work on my story. After November is over I might post a few snippets of my story, or I might post one or two short segments before then. Who knows. So that you can how I am doing with my writing I am putting a participation badge over on the side.While I go continue to write a...
