Ma Journee {Entry 5}

Well, Time for another Ma Journee.  Actually, I normally only resort to this when I don't have a flaming hot post, but sense the urge that my blogging pen is starting to get crusty from not being used.

Today..today..today...Well. We had another park day.  Its always nice to be around friends...and frenemies.  So we spent a good hunk of time at the park, discussing Books, Dragons, an upcoming 80's themed party, Ninjas, and a whole lot of random stuff.  How many of you ever played Ninja? It is great fun. And if many of you don't know how it is done, I shall try to get a video demonstrating next time, K?

And here of late, I've been reading a review book I got from an author. HUZZAH! I actually contacted an author I did not know somewhat personally! And got a book from it. The lucky author is Kay Springsteen!

So far I like it.  But..I dunno. It's bridging on the too much romance for my personally tastes.  I don't normally grab gushy titles, and I dearly hoped this would be more then just a romance.  And it hasn't demonstrated it wouldn't be. Only..hinted.  You want to know the bitter truth? I liked the masquerade mask. I kinda have a thing for masks since I became a POTO fan. 

I also had a nice conversation with Nova today...

Uhm..What else did my lazy self do?  Oh! I got a Letter from one of my pen pals, Lindsay, and have started my reply back.  I can't stand to not write back soon after getting my letter. Everything I do seems like I should be writing back. and I start feeling guilty and apologizing each day I haven't sent my reply out.

Did anybody notice the number of followers on here? 157. Dudette....when did I become so popular? When did people actually start caring about this southern gal's daily life? When did fantastic peeps read her somewhat strange rambles? You readers are awesome.

Oh, I had Pizza Hut today. And I had a Coke. I like the way Coke makes my throat feel. That hot, burning sensation. charming, charming. 

Oh, know the 1980's party I talked about way above? Well, we stopped by a garage sale today, and since my fashion style tends to not be 80s geared at all, I need to find something I like that is rather out there. Shouldn't be to hard. But, look at these rocking awesome earrings I got for $.50:

80s enough for you?  My bestie, who was also invited, wants to dress like Michael Jackson. And if she does, perhaps we shall both learn how to dance to his song, Thriller. And we can be double freaking awesome. 

I think that sums up my day.  So far. Anyway.  But it's only 7:06, and you never know what might yet happen....

Well, today started out late.  I woke up, and the clock's read 10 AM.  Record people. I hardly EVER sleep in that late.  It's like, almost impossible.  After 7, I'm much to wide away to go back to sleep until at least 5 PM.

Well, the mail had already ran before I was truly up and about (I normally walk around like a zombie for five minuets after waking up).  And I got a lovely from the one and only Rachel from Dramatic Elegance:

It is from my all time favorite online store, Shabby Apple.
Really, they are a BEAUTIFUL shop.  Most of their items are modest, vintage, and totally chic.  You should SO check them out.  I've been wearing my necklace clock all day.
And  I got a compliment off of it today at the bank.  Don't you love it when that happens?

We ate Brunch (a mix between Breakfast and lunch), and started getting ready to go to town.

How many girls do you know, that dress and primp themselves up just to go to the library?  I look like I'm going on a date most of the time.

I'm a new driver, (New meaning, has only driven on a paved road two or three times), but I drove halfway to town today.  Without killing us all.  BIG achievement people!

First off, we stopped at the bank, as my brothers and I had to cash a check, we use two separate banks, so that was two stops.

Then, to Heaven (AKA, the library).

I really love that place.

My selections for the month?

Amarathine from Amarathine Forever suggested this book series, and I got the 1, 2 and 4. (I thought book 4 was book 3, so, it was a slight confusion.).  And, OH MY GOODNESS OH MY GOODNESS.  I already adore Artemis.  A 12 Year old super villain with Sherlock Holmes personality?  I'm only on page 34, but, Wow. Amazing.  And, I heard they plan on making a movie? Buy me a ticket, and reserve me a seat.
Oh, and Butler. What a sweet, gentle, gun toting, giant of a fellow. 

I haven't started this yet.  I just saw how it said "James Bond and Harry Potter mixed together", and while I'm not a HP fan..exactly...I have been going through this James Bond faze.  Thanks to Mirriam and Finn McMissile.

I realized how few 'girl' books I read.  So, I decided to throw myself a curve ball, and see what happens.

 Dunno much about this one, just thought it sounded neat.

I am an Agatha Christie tycoon, nearly.  I love her books, They are better then Arthur Conan Doyle's work.  There, I said it.  But, Sherlock Holmes is, and forever will be, my love.  I adore Holmesie with all my Fangirl heart.

And this.  I am actually reading a Star Wars EU. 

Now now, no need to look like that.
Since reading reviews, I've learned that this probably isn't the best EU to start out with, and while I'd prefer to start out with Thrawn (I LOVE HIS EYES!!!), I can't help that they didn't have any there.

So, Thats that.

I need to get back to Artemis.  I think he is calling my name. 

Ma Journee {entry 3}

Hello again, fair readers! I know, this is technically my second post for the day, but we shan't worry about that, ok?

Today, was fun.
Tomorrow, will be fun.

Today me and my dear Mama (I'd insert a picture here, but alas, Mama doesn't like pictures of herself, so I won't annoy her by showing you one) went on a girl's shopping night! 


Our small town hasn't got much clothing stores, much less a mall, outside of Wal-mart and Bell's outlet, you can go to Goodwill or some other thrift store.  But, today, we only went to Bell's.  Let me say, I fully adore Bell's outlet.  Their clothing selection is so chic, and comfy, and 70's, and...and..and awesome.  I walked out with 3 shirts, one nice dress (it is a dress, but it is shorter then I'd wear alone, so I plan on wearing dress pants under it.  In fact, I'm wearing it now.  Due to trying it on to show my Dad, and just being to lazy to change into something else until bedtime.), and 3 pairs of pants (one of which are jeans), and an Owl ring.  I shall post a picture of it later.  Perhaps tomorrow.

Oh, and a bag of Jelly Beans.  I adore Jelly Belly's.

So, anyway.

Then, after about, what, 3 hours? In Bell's, Me, Mama, Miss Shiloh May (who, being a 5 month old baby, just had to tag along.  Not that we minded) and Ruby (who, being a 4 year old girl, didn't need to come along, but she doesn't get to go places with us a lot, so we let her come) got ourselves downtown to Zaxby's.   I had Chicken wings, that weren't hot, because I'm 'wimpy'.
I had 2 cups of Coca Cola...Wuv.

And,  Then we went home, and we just finished watching the Star Trek Episode, 'Drone'.

Oh, what a bitter sweet episode that is!

Seven:  "YOU WILL COMPLY!"
One: "I wont!"

"The EMH tried to treat One's injuries, but One refused to allow this; he knew the Borg would hunt Voyager to assimilate him for his technology, and One was a grave risk to the ship as long as he was alive. Seven displayed a closeness with One, much like a mother; after One died on the operating table, Seven was greatly saddened by his passing"

Poor Seven. 

Well, that was Ma journee....don't expect to hear from me tomorrow, as I'll be having to much fun!

♥Ashley♥

P.S
Look at the time!  It's Feb. 11th, 12:29.....

Hello, I'm sixteen.

WW and Ma Journee {Entry 2}

Today, has been, one of those days.  The type of day, where you can feel Satan just laughing at you as you blunder through.  I woke up feeling like I had this horrid burden, this horrible thing pressing down on my soul.  I felt like I was going insane.  I felt sick, I was nervous, worried, and agitated all day for some, unknown reason.
I still have no scientific answer to why I felt this way.  All I can say, is Satan sure has had a blast testing me, and poking fun while I blundered and cried, and lay in bed, curled into a fetus position.   I discussed the ordeal with my Mom, and after some prayer, and emotional calming exercises (You'll think me weird, but I use a Vulcan fear process.  Who cares if it came from a science fiction tv show? It works!) I began to feel better. I'm not a worry wort, so this has been an extreme strain on my soul, not to mention my body! I've just felt drained of all things happy.  Today was a bright, sunny day, but I spent all of it under a thundercloud. If that wasn't depression, I don't know what is!  Problem is, I had no idea why I felt that way! 
  I still don't feel 100%, but I'm pretty sure that by tomorrow, I'll be back to my normal self!

A song I've had to remember today has been this one, "You are my All in All".

"You are my strength when I am weak, you are the treasure that I seek, you are my all in all"

"Seeking you as a precious jewel, Lord to give up I'd be a fool, you are my all, in all".

"When I fall down, you pick me up.  When I am dry, you fill my cup".

Praise God for fresh tomorrows!


And, because today is Wednesday Wonders, and I need to remember something funny:

DOING THIS.

Be truthful...Did you see him right off?  Neither did I.

Victory was ours!

 

I laughed at this longer then was sane.

Oh, it feels Good.
