My Sister's Wedding - (sorry, long post)

Hi everyone! *hugs tightly and doesn't let go*

First of all- sorry for disappearing for so many days. A lot has been on my mind. ^^;;; I want to give you a huge thank you for all the comments! This post is going to be about my sister's wedding (which was on Saturday) I've rambled about it so many times that I want to share some of it with you. I'm still hoping to share pictures of the dress, but I don't have them yet (since I don't have a camera I have to rely on pictures other people take)

The wedding went so beautifully. I was so nervous, but so was most of the bridal party. Before it began, I remember holding my sisters hand as we reassured each other that it was going to be alright. Then, the music started and I had to walk down the aisle with the best man (he was so tall! When I first met him I was a little intimidated, but he's so sweet. He would whisper encouraging things to me as we started to help ^__^ Him and his wife (and BEAUTIFUL baby daughter) were all such blessings that day!)

When we got to the end of the aisle, I turned around and watched as my little cousins, Anna and Bubba walked down the aisle. They were SO CUTE! But, Anna is scared around strangers, so she held the flower-girl basket with one hand and Bubba's hand with her other. < 3 The photographer was trying to get her to drop the pedals, but she had run out of hands XD It was okay, though, because they were so cute, no one cared!

Then, they stood by me and I held them still as Dad walked my sister down the aisle. I saw her looking so beautiful in her dress and almost started crying. I think Dad was about to cry too when he handed her away.

When we returned to our seats, Anna sat on my lap and I held onto her for support. The ceremony was so beautiful, I kept trying not to cry (It just seemed like crying at a wedding would be too silly!) But I did end up crying about halfway through. Luckily, I don't think many people noticed.

Lol, a funny part was when Anna suddenly went limp and the basket fell out of her hand, spilling the rose petals all over the pew! Turns out she fell asleep! XD Then, she started snoring. My cousin and I could hardly keep from laughing out loud! It was just too cute.

Well, at the end, Anna was awake enough to walk on her own and everyone left the church. We shook hands with almost everyone who came. Actually, we hugged most of them ^^ Most of the people were related to us! And even the ones who weren't were still close enough to be family!

Pictures came next. My sister was just so beautiful! I can't wait to share a few pictures with you when we get them!

The reception even went pretty well. I worked hard to be cheerful and act like I was completely fine with the crowd. I think I talked with a lot of them and they seemed happy, so I'm happy too.

My sister and my new brother-in-law's first dance was so beautiful ^__^ I loved watching them dance, I wish it would have lasted longer. Then, during the money dance, I paid to dance with him. He was goofy at first (that's just his personality, we spend most of our time together cracking sarcastic jokes XD) but then he was sweet and we talked about the wedding for a bit. I'm so happy for him and my sis! They are just so happy ^___^

The only really bad part was... umm, well, you see- [warning- I'm afraid that this next part will probably seem sort of whiny, feel free to skip it if you want; I just want to get it off my chest -.-;]

It's sort of weird that I seemed really cheerful in the crowd. You see, it's sort of strange, but it's a defence thing I have. When I'm in really stressful situations, I become really outgoing and lots of people seem to enjoy being around me. . . But it only lasts so long before I end up crashing emotionally (I know it sounds weird...).

I had hoped that it wouldn't happen until we got back home, but it happened at the reception. I suddenly lost my cheerfulness and realized how much I really didn't want to be there. What didn't help was that at about that time I got a very painful migraine headache.

So, I didn't want to seem like a brat at their wedding party, so I slipped outside and hoped that the fresh air and quiet would help the migrane. But the building was on the noisiest road in our town and there really wasn't any place to sit. . . plus, it was embarrassing how everyone who passed stared at me (I was still wearing the bridesmaid dress)

Well, for about two hours I'd go from looking for a quiet place in the building to sitting on the sidewalk outside. But, by that time the migraine was so bad that I was crying. I didn't want anyone to see me like that, so I snuck up the stairs to a bench. I could still see the party below, but only an area where no one else was.

I thought it would be a good place to sit and try to survive, but then my sister saw me. She glanced up and then looked again, frowning (gall, she can always tell when I'm upset about something) We know sign language, so I tried to sign that it was just a migraine, but I guess it was too far away for her to make it out. She came to me and I tried to stop crying while I was explaining why I was hiding, but she could tell it hurt too much.

She is such an angel. She quietly left her own reception to take me to one of the rooms upstairs (it was a hotel) She found a room that I could lie down in (in fact, she *ordered* me to stay there to feel better). I really can't even tell all of you how sweet she is. ^_^

Anyway, I stayed there until it was time to go back home and about an hour after that, the migraine left. ^___^

The next few days I think I've just been in sort of shock. So many months, tears and crazy plans had led up to that one day, so it was strange when it was over. I don't know if it was relief or what.

But, that's been the main reason I haven't been on. I'm sorry, I can't even say that it's been because I haven't had time, because I have. My mind just feels so overwhelmed. -.-; And we just found out today that my Grandpa (the one who lives several hours away) is doing worse... I don't even want to think about it.

Well, thank you all for reading all this (incredibly long post o.o) and for everything else. I will be on TheO and MyO off and on, and I hope to catch up on what all of you have been doing. I've missed you! *hugs*

Take care, sweethearts!

Have a great day!

One... more... week...

Hi everyone! *hugs*

In one week my sister will be married. o.o This Saturday is when it happens. It's coming so fast, I can hardly believe it.

Thank you Kelsey and Nana for your comments! *hugs* ^___^ They really made my day.

Kelsey- Yup, we love La Corda. I disliked the anime at first because of the strange hair colors, but I really liked being able to hear the music they were playing ^___^ It's really awesome that your Mom likes anime and manga too!

Nana- Wow, that's really cool that you listen to music from so many countries! I have a hard time finding many. If you have any suggestions for songs, I'd love to hear it! ^__^

Umm, I'm planning on sharing a picture of myself on my world in TheO as soon as I finish this post (I'd post it here, but I'm not sure how to do that ^^;;)

Okay, well, aside from that, most of what's been going on has to do with the upcoming wedding. Her dress is almost done. There are still a few more details to get done and some of the decorative flowers seem to be loose. Mom has done such a great job, though. ^__^ I never realized before how good she was.

Anyway, I'm sorry this is a really short post, but I want to make sure to post on TheO today before I go spend some more time with my sister ^___^ I've decided that I'm going to enjoy hanging out with her before she's married as much as I can.

Thank you to anyone reading this post *hugs* I hope you're well and happy!

Have a great day!

Sort of rambly... But very happy ^__^

Hi everyone! *hugs tightly* I hope you've all been well.

Thank you so much, Neko Nana Mode, Kelsey, fma17, noirassasin, and Anna for the sweet comments! ^_^ They always make my day so special, so thank you!!

Just to respond to a few things you commented on- Yes, I'm sure the wedding will go fine. I guess it's natural for everyone to get stressed out about it, but when the actual day comes I'm sure (I hope and pray) that everything will go smoothly.

And, yes, my Mom knows about TheO and MyO. Actually, she knows about most of you. Whenever you ask for prayers, I tell my family so more people are praying. Plus, all of you are like my second family, so I do tell people about you ^^; I hope that's alright. Mom thinks you all are very special and she's actually the one who was pushing for me to come back here when I left because of depression. So, she's pretty special ^__^

Lol, actually, I used to have her read the manga that I was reading when I first started getting interested in it. I thought they were so good and thought she might enjoy them. It was SOOO funny to listen to her complain about how confusing it was to read backwards. But, now, she's more of an otaku than I am. Both of our favorite is La Corda D'oro. We've watched all the anime episodes that we could find and pester my sister into watching them (mainly so we can justify watching them over again XD)

OH! And then there's the MUSIC that I've been listening to (sorry if this is a bit random, but it struck me as funny- WARNING- Ridiculously long ramble about K-pop) A while ago, I noticed a K-pop group that Sparkle-san was really, really into. They're called 'Shinee'. Well, I listened to one of their songs on youtube and INSTANTLY loved them too <3 So, for a while I'd keep playing AMIGO over and over.

At first, the only person in the room while it was playing was my little brother. He finally asked why they were singing the word 'polygon' over and over. ???? I was so confused until I realize that he was trying to understand the song "you do realize it's not English, right?" ... "Oh... that explains a lot" XD He's great. His favorite song that they sing is (I think) called "Love like Oxygen"

Mom was OBSESSED for a while over AMIGO. I'd have headphones plugged into my computer and listen to random videos while typing and every time Mom saw that video she'd tell me to turn up the volume XDDD

And then, my sister (the one getting married) likes it too! That surprised me, since she really doesn't seem to like pop music. She laughs so hard during the part where one of the boys sings in English, umm, actually I don't want to type it ^^;;;; It's not a bad word or anything, but it's embarrassing. If you've seen the video for AMIGO, you most likely know the word I'm talking about.

So, yeah, my family is pretty awesome. I can't believe how many of these things they end up liking (often being more obsessive than me!) ^__^

Okay, sorry for the randomness. ^^;; Especially sorry to those of you who have no idea what any of that was about. Hmm, I guess it just struck me that I don't typically type much "otaku" related things here.

Anyway, the wedding plans are still going crazy. More problems arise than I would have ever thought could be problems. I keep telling my sister not to worry about them, but she still does T.T

On a much more positive note, Thursday was officially my favorite day of this whole summer (very possibly of the whole year) ^___^ All summer I've been wishing that my sister and I could spend some time together like we did when we were kids before she's married and I cried about it a lot because I know I'm going to miss her...

On Thursday we got to! We watched a movie (just the girls of the family) and she loved it. It was so much fun and for nearly an hour after the movie was over, we were still laughing (of course, we weren't really laughing for any reason... aside from the fact that I was so happy to be hanging out with her AND SHE KEPT TICKLING ME DX lol, I don't mind, but I'm super ticklish) It was tons of fun and I can't even pick out anything particular that we did, but I'm so glad to have that memory to hold onto now.

The next day I started to feel sick, but I'm sure it will pass... Maybe I just laughed too hard ^^;;

Anyway, sorry if this is sort of a jumbled mess of a post. I just really wanted to update and try to share some of the happiness that I've been feeling. *hugs tightly*

Oh, and a huge thank you to everyone who commented on my new world! I'll be working to keep updating there as well as here.

Just a random thought before I end... Would any of you want to see a picture of me? I know that I always love seeing pictures of all of you and I guess it got me wondering. Idk, random ^__^

Oh, and I am planning on sharing a photo of my sister's wedding dress once Mom finishes it! She just has some hems to finish and then it should be ready.

Thank you so much for stopping by! *hugs* Take care and God Bless you!

Have a great day!

   Okay, I'm back

Hi everyone *hugs tightly*

Thank you for the kind comments and support. I really don't deserve to have such sweet friends ^^;;

To tell you the truth, the reason I wasn't online here was because my mood was getting to be so depressed that I was having a hard time dealing with it. I know it's not a good thing, but when I get like that, I naturally pull away from people. I think the only people I really talk to when I'm like that are my Mom, my little brother and sometimes one of my sisters.

So, I've felt guilty because I guess (looking back) I really have had time to be on here. I guess the other part is that I didn't want to risk spreading my terrible mood.

But I'm going to try forgetting about that because my mood has lifted a bit and I really did miss all of you so much!! *hugs tightly and doesn't let go*

Oh, and Kelsey? Thank you for the idea for managing my time so I could come on more often. It really made a lot of sense when I read it (I even talked to my Mom and she was completely for it. Lol, she even told me that I could grab a timer and tell people that while it was running that meant that it was my time to be on TheO/MyO.) So, thanks, and I'll try to be doing something at least close to that.

Anyway, I guess basically that's what I wanted to say. ^__^ I'll be trying to get on to comment or post at least a few times a week. For a while I guess I'll be playing 'catch up' o.o I can't believe how much I've missed ^^;

So, if I miss commenting on something of yours, it's not because I don't care, I just might not have found it, so please feel free to tell me!

Aside from that, life has been interesting... It's getting closer and closer to my sister's wedding so I guess life will continue to be very interesting for a while yet. I'm just happy that she seems a little less stressed out now (they've finally gotten a lot of the paperwork and such done)

OH! And some of you might remember that my Mom is making her wedding dress? Well, she's almost done! She just needs to hem it and a few other little things and then it should be ready! ^__^ So, that's put everyone in a good mood! My sister looks like a princess when she tries it on ^__^ Very exciting.

I guess I could type more, but I'm really anxious to get started on commenting. ^___^ I can't wait to see what all of you have been up to and I hope your days have been cheerful and bright! *hugs*

Take care and God Bless!

Have a great day!

   I'm still alive...

Hi everyone! *hugs tightly*

I'm sorry I haven't been around. Things just got even more busy around here. I think I'm handling it better than I thought I could, but I just have too much to juggle right now to keep up with what I'd like to do (aka- be here and comment) I love TheO and MyO so much and I will be back! But... right now I think I just won't have the time.

It isn't even being too busy, well, it is, but it's been stressing me out and I feel like I must be crying every day just from being so tired (-.-; Monday was really horrible...)

But, I'm still trying to be positive and I just really wanted to post this to let all of you sweethearts that I'm still alive and that I love you all, think of you often and hope to be happy and back here soon. *hugs* I can't promise when, but I will be back (I'm hoping that by Wednesday at least I can come on for a short period?)

Sorry for the short post. My brain is just really confused right now. *hugs tightly*

Take care, everyone!

Have a great day!

   A positive post? ^__^

Hi everyone! *hugs*

Thank you so much Fma, Kelsey and Anna for commenting! *hugs tightly* ^__^ As usual, you made my day!

Umm, yes, looking back on it, I guess it there wasn't a rant... While I was typing I was really upset, though (mainly from being too tired) so I guess I thought that I had typed what was going on in my head. o.o I'm sort of glad I didn't, though.

Shoveling manure went well. Of course, after doing it for an hour and a half I was really tired and cranky -.-; But, like I said before, it really isn't as bad as it sounds. After a while you learn to ignore the smell. The main thing that was bothering me was that both of my wrists were hurting for some reason. Strange... But at least my left wrist is feeling better now!

Oh, and, Kelsey? Thanks for what you said about not writing off the entire year. I've been thinking a lot about it, and you're right. There have been some good things that have happened ^__^

Well, I'm mainly posting because I want to keep MyO going and it's relaxing to keep in touch with all of you! *hugs* I try to comment as much as I can (not because I think it's a job, but because I love you guys and it's relaxing) I know I've missed a lot, but I'm still hoping that I won't be so busy forever.

Gosh, I really wish I had more time to work with right now because there's a beautiful poem I found that I want to share with you (but it's really long and I'd have to copy it from the picture in my room) So, I'm planning on doing it at some point (probably posting it in my new world) but it'll have to wait a while.

Today should be... interesting. Once a year we have a sort of family reunion. Now, I love my family and like all of my cousins. But this particular family reunion doesn't involve them. It's basically for a different branch of the family (I think my Mom's Grandma's children or something like that) I don't really know many of them and most of them are adults so I'm too shy to talk to them.

Luckily it's at a park, so I'll probably sneak away from the big crowd and swing or something. I don't know... I feel sort of guilty that I don't want to even try to talk to them, but I get freaked out when I'm in a group of more than two or three people.

I'm really hoping that my cousin (who is so close we've adopted each other as twins) will be there. Last year went well because we hid by the lake and talked about the books that we're writing together... It sort of makes me miss my sister, though. She isn't going to make it because she's going to a wedding for a friend of hers (ah, the sister I'm talking about is the one getting married in Sept.)

... So, umm, I'm really not sure how interesting any of that was. I could probably type more, but I really should finish lunch before we go to the reunion (ahhhh and tonight is Soo Bahk Do too O.o *silently screams*) I'm tired ... XD And whiny, apparently. Gosh, I'm really probably not any more busy than a lot of you!

Well, I really should end this post now. Sorry for babbling! *hugs* And thank you to anyone who read this.

See you around!

Have a great day!

Sorry... a sort of rant again -.-;

First, please remember to continue praying for Meagan and her Grandma!

Hi everyone! *hugs*

I am so, so, so sorry it’s been so long since I’ve posted T.T Everything has been getting to me lately… I guess I could make a lot of excuses, but I just couldn’t handle having one more thing to do. Because of that, I’m afraid I haven’t been commenting as much either…

Thank you so much Tiggerola-san, Kelsey-san and Anna-chan for commenting on my last post *hugs tightly* It really made me smile. I hope that some day I’ll be able to try GIMP (I downloaded it, now I just need time ^^;) Oh! And, thank you to all who commented on my last card ^__^ You’re all so sweet!

…

Well, just an update of what I’ve been doing lately- helped at a fundraiser for Soo Bahk Do (serving food, cooking food, cleaning tables, etc. at a local event) laundry, more laundry, more laundry, lost my sense of humor (laughed about it), helped my Uncle install a door on our house, baby-sat his WONDERFUL children whom I love dearly (but that was exhausting) went fishing with him, Mom, my sister (yay, some relaxation ^_^) umm, I think I did some cleaning- I sort of remember that, helped my sister cope with things going wrong with wedding planning (nothing serious, things are just complicated with planning weddings and sometimes I guess it’s too stressful for her and all I can do is try to offer support, but I’m really bad at it -.-;) And Sunday I’m going to be helping with another fundraiser for Soo Bahk Do by shoveling horse stalls (it’s not as bad as I thought it would be)

Those are some of the things I’ve been doing lately… There’ve been a lot of other things too, but those haven’t exactly been good and I really don’t want to think about it. I’ve been crying a lot more lately (yeah, I guess I’m a cry-baby -.-) It’s been so stressful lately, though. I really don’t like this year very much.

Okay, trying to be positive now- today has been pretty relaxing ^___^ That’s why I’m posting! (Plus I love you guys and have missed you a lot *hugs*)

I’m just sorry that I can’t think of what to say and I’m afraid if I type anymore I’m just going to complain ^^;;

*hugs you all tightly* Thank you for reading this far and I really hope that I’ll be around TheO and MyO sometime. Hopefully next week will be quieter? ^___^ I guess here’s to hoping.

I hope all of you have been well and I will really really really try to catch up on your posts. In the meantime, take care and God Bless! *hugs*

Have a great day!

Hi My Dears! *hugs*

First of all, I want to remind you all to please pray for Meagan and her Grandma. Ask other people to pray too! Your family, friends, anyone you can find, please!

Okay, umm, I guess I'll continue with the post now...

I'm sort of unsure of what to say... I'm so touched by how many people commented on my last post; you nearly had me in tears *hugs tightly* Thank you all for your kindness. *hugs Kelsey, Noirassasin, Kachikamac, Niko Chan, LystikinenaXP, Angel Miyuuki, and Anna-Chan!* (Oh, and none of you were the reason I was going to quit making cards, so don't worry about that!) Umm, I didn't expect so many of you to comment *^^* (it made me feel special, thank you so much)

I want to reply to each of you, but I don't know how much time I have to be online (things have still been crazy busy here) So, I'll try to respond in general-

You've all made me decide that I will keep making cards. I was just feeling really insecure -.-; But, I really do love making them (when I have time) so, since you still seem to like them, I'll try to ignore that critical voice in my head

Oh, and Kelsey? Are you psychic? o.o (Yes, I admit that it was that contest I saw that really made me feel like stopping with the cards... I didn't really want to name names, though...) And, I think I do want to learn about textures and stuff, so, do you think that when I have more time to learn, you'd still be willing to teach me? ^_^ At least then I can try to make a few cards look better (And I'll definitely try that website for fonts!!)

Okay, I know there are a million more things that I'd love to respond to, but I'm hoping to make this a short little post~

Just an update- My sister, the soon to be bride, is back at home making everything more busy than ever ^^;; I love her to death, but all of this prep for weddings seems so much (LOL! My adopted twin was visiting yesterday to help sis with her wedding invites and after about an hour of work, she turned to me and said that if she got married, she was just going to elope XDD)

So, yeah, if I miss commenting, it's because of wedding prep, cleaning, running errands, working out (I need to get into shape DX) and trying to find time to practice my poor new trumpet (plus my sad guitar) I hope that all of you at least get a chance to play an instrument, I know some of you already do, but it's such a great stress reliever. ^__^

Well, that's about all I can think of right now o.o I'm still trying to come on to comment; that's really my favorite thing to do right now ^__^ But I will make an effort to start slowly submitting things again (maybe working on creating a world)

Oh, and I WILL make sure to keep updating here on MyO. So, hopefully, at least once a week I'll try to do that. ^___^

I hope all of you are well and enjoying your summer vacations!! Take care and take breaks for breathing ~.^

Have a great day!

   Sorry, there's a sort of rant

Hi my dears!

*many hugs* Thank you so much to everyone who commented on my picture and card <33 It really made me smile to read them (gosh, you're all so sweet! ^__^) And thank you for the comments on my last post! o.o Wow, I really wasn't expecting so many! Thank you very much to Kelsey, Meagan, Noirassasin, and Anna-chan! *hugs my angels*

I would respond to each of your comments, but I'm sort of tired and I don't know how long I'll be on. ^^;;;

My internet is working and has stayed working for almost a week now (thank goodness) So, I've been trying to comment more. It's a lot of fun, and a nice break from being busy XD I guess I've still been pretty busy, but it still isn't too bad. Really, the main reason I haven't posted for so many days is that I've been a bit depressed and didn't want to spread it around to any of you... maybe it was the weather... idk

But, I'm feeling a bit more cheerful today! ^__^ OH! And I have some exciting news~! On our way up to visit my sister, we stopped at a music store. I had enough money, and I've been wanting to do this for a while, so I bought a used trumpet! ^__^ I'm so excited about it! Even though I love my guitar (and it will always be my first choice as an instrument) I fell in love with the sound trumpets made and wanted to play one as a hobby.

It is a lot harder than it looks! I can make noises on it, but I won't call it music... ^^;; I'm still happy I did it, though. It's nice, because now I have an excuse to sit down and relax by practicing the trumpet ^__^ Although, I'm trying to keep it a secret from most people... they just wouldn't understand and they'd think I was trying to disregard the years I've spent with my guitar XPPP So, only a few people in my family (and now you ^^) know about it! ^___^ Lol, I guess it probably sounds silly, I don't know. ^^;

~~~ Sorry, this next part is something that's been bothering me. You don't have to read it if you don't want to.

Anyway, on a sort of more serious note, I've been giving a lot of thought to e-cards lately. More specifically, I'm trying to figure out if I really want to make them anymore...

I mean, I enjoyed making them and all of you have always been so supportive... But lately, when I have spare time to look around TheO (you know, things that people have created who I don't know yet) I've been noticing a lot of people have been upset and complaining about e-cards. o.o I was surprised how many people are upset that the e-cards are apparently not as good as they were in the "glory days" of TheO...

... I don't think I was on the site during that time period, so I'm not completely sure what it means. But I know that I'm not an artist. I made my cards using Microsoft Paint. I don't know how to make textures (or even if it's possible with my programs).

But what I do know is that I don't want to make people upset. And there seem to be some people who are really upset with people who make plain cards like I did. So, that's why I feel I'm faced with this decision.

If I stop making cards, I'll still comment on people's work (o.o I wouldn't want to leave TheO!) I guess I just really don't know what to think right now -.-; Like I said before, I've been feeling ... strange, so that's probably a lot of what the problem is...

I'm sorry for dumping this on you! T.T *hugs tightly* I just feel like I'll burst if I don't say what's on my mind sometimes. And, truthfully, I don't want to make a decision like that right now. If even one person wants me to make cards again, I'll make them for that one person. I just don't want to add to the level of upset people here ^^;;

Okay, I'm going to change the subject now. I don't want to end the post like this.

I've been thinking about creating a World on TheO. Sort of something for the people who don't belong to MyO (it's a strange thought to me; when I signed up to TheO, MyO was part of the package... I guess it's different now?) But, there are also things that I want to do with that World that I don't think I could figure out here. ^__^

Oh, and on a completely random note- My oldest sister got her hair cut! It used to be almost all the way down to her waist and now it's even shorter than mine o.O She's really happy, though! And it looks fantastic on her (she only grew it out that long for Locks of Love) I even managed to convince her to let me put makeup on her! lol, yeah, she really hates the stuff, but I think a little bit of makeup can look nice! And she did look incredible ^__^ I was so proud of how professional she looked! Gosh, but my Mom cut her hair too, so my other sister is the only girl in the family with long hair right now... *random*

^__^ Well, thank you for reading this far (and sorry again for the rant -.-) I hope that all of you are feeling well and enjoying summer to it's fullest! *hugs tightly*

Have a great day!

   Internet, picture and laundry? (why must there be titles? ^^;;)

Hi my dears! *hugs tightly*

I lost my internet (umm, maybe yesterday or the day before) I don't know how long it's back on, so if I disappear, that's probably why. It sort of comes and goes. But I wanted to update you on a few things I'm excited about!!! ^__^

First- thank you so much for commenting. I'd like to explain about the laundry (lol, I'm still pretty bad at posting if I keep giving the wrong impression, huh? ^^;;;) I do all the laundry for everyone here because we divide chores like that. I do the laundry, but someone else washes dishes and someone else does this or that. But, lately, we haven't had a lot of people home, so everything's been a bit different. I fell SUPER behind on the laundry, so that's why I had so many loads to do. (Mom's a sweetheart, she didn't really expect me to do it all in one day... but I guess I'm really bad at pacing myself -.-;)

Anyway, thank you again, Meagan and Kelsey. Your comments always make me so happy!! *hugs* (And, oh, gosh, I can't tell you how often I found myself day dreaming about pancakes of doom! XD)

OK! Here's what I really wanted to tell you~ I finished my picture that I had been working on the last time I posted. ^__^ I had a couple of days where I didn't have a lot to do, so I crammed in finishing it.

It's sort of strange though... I'm a little scared of sumbitting it *embarrassed* It's been so long... But I really want to share it with you. It was sort of emotional for me to draw. But I wanted to pour my heart into it. So, umm, I'll probably be submitting it when I build up the nerve. I'm planning on doing it right after I finish this post... So, if you want to look at it, go ahead ^^

I'm hoping that after that I'll start submitting more again. I get sort of a nervous/excited feeling when I think about it (is that crazy?!) I even opened my folder full of ecards to look at them again (in fact, I made a new one for the first time in five months!! It's a big secret, though, so you'll have to wait to see it :P)

Anyway, I'm starting to get busy all over again, but I think I'm handling it better! I'm working hard not to let things stress me out (such as this weekend when I will be on a too long car trip to visit my sister... I love her, but I don't travel well... oh well)

Bah, but I do feel a little guilty, I completely deserve the pancakes of doom to knock my door down from what I did this afternoon. XP Our grass has been getting really tall (my brother is away for the month and my sisters... @.@) Anyway, I told Mom I'd mow, she said no, I said I could handle it, she said I shouldn't, I said I thought I could... Yeah, well, I won the debate, but she was right. I pushed myself too hard and had to lay down in the kitchen by the vent when I was done. But, I'm still glad I did it! Because now at least our front and side yards are better and I really only feel tired ^___^

*glances up* That was rambly... Thanks for reading this post if you've gotten this far *hugs*

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Meagan, just in case I don't have internet on your actual birthday (but, one way or another you will be getting a birthday gift! ~.^)

I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but I guess this post is probably long enough! *hugs tightly* I love you all bunches! Take care!

Have a great day!
