Gravity is working against me, gravity wants to bring me down..

Today was a good day. Not much went on but I am still trying to get over the fact that March is soon to be over - in 1 hour! Wow. This year is going by fast.

On my way to the post office today, I almost ran over a tortoise. It was huge; just sitting in the middle of the road. I very much wanted to stop and get it off the road, but it looked too large to even pick up. I could have attempted but I was also scared of getting ran over myself! I just hope he made it across safely. :)

I've been thinking about doing a fundraiser for Noah's Landing. It would be really great and I think it would help a lot, too. I had a nice chat with Jimmy Robbins and he is more than willing to help so that is fantastic! As long as his schedule permits, he will be there. So hopefully everything will go well and it works out. It would be an exciting event, for sure! (And if you don't know who Jimmy Robbins is, shame on you! Check him out!)

Happy early April Fool's day, everyone! (he he)

Get right or get left!

So much for this daily thing. Geez. I'm trying but failing miserably.

Friday I went to Noah's Landing to see what a tour guide's job was. I really liked what they did. You get to hold all the animals and teach the children about them. Everything was fine up until they mentioned millions of years and evolution. Not good. I am still going to be one, I'm just going to do it my way - scratch that- God's way. When I am sharing facts about an animal, I am going to be using my beliefs; and if they say I can't, I'm just going to have to leave. As much as I love that place, I wouldn't be able to stay.

Sunday morning was great. Everything went well for youth Sunday and everyone did such a good job.

I really love my friends. Without them, I don't know what I'd do. They get me through hard situations and I haven't even been able to scare them off with my weirdness! (he he) But I am so blessed to have such amazing friends - I don't deserve them.

And tell me, do you think Alaska needs a Creation museum? :P

You sent me, You lit me, I'm on fire...

Directory pictures are always fun, dressing up and all of that fun stuff. Blah.

Tomorrow holds a new day, hopefully sunshine - even though rain is nice, too. Maybe one day I'll actually go out and dance in it.

My license came in the mail and needless to say, I look drunk in the picture. Oh boy. And I'm not just saying that, I really do. So sad.

This August - Jonas Brothers concert in Charlotte. Guess who has tickets close to the catwalk? *raises hand* That's right, eat it.

Not much to say tonight.

Until next time,

And again, she writes.

Once again, I am updating.

I've tried to stay with it daily, but as you can see, it's not happening. Hopefully I will pick up on this and write something down each day, but until then; this is all there's going to be. Just random updates during the week.

Today I had a good lunch with my youth pastor, Jon, and my sister. I guess you could say my day was pretty relaxed and laid back. This afternoon, as you can tell, I changed my layout. I'm not sure if I like it yet; maybe it'll grow on me - who knows.

Tomorrow I'm off to Noah's Landing again, this time just to watch a tour. If it looks like something I can handle, I'll become a tour guide. I'm feeling pretty confident that it's what I'm going to do anyway. After that, I'll be going around town looking for job opportunities.

I can tell you right now, I'm excited. (Note the sarcasm.)

Maybe next time I will have a little more to say, I haven't exactly been able to write much at all lately and it's driving me insane. It's all inside my head, what I want to say, but I can never write it down. Funny, right?

That's all for now.

Never Gonna Let You Down

Currently listening to:
Never Gonna Let You Down by Rick Astley

Hiya!

It's been quite a long day, or so it seems. Another day of work at Noah's Landing which was fun. I always enjoy working with the animals and such. Molly, the cockatoo, is one of my favorite animals there. She is adorable, always whistling or singing; occasionally talking, too. (In the picture on the left; I'm not sure of the conure's name.)

Charlie is coming along with his song. He is currently whistling The Andy Griffith Show theme song and is doing a pretty great job! He does mess up and get mad at himself for it, but he always shakes it off and starts over again. Oh, how I love him.

Anyway, if you didn't know, I have a twitter! If you look on the page, (hint: it's on the right side) you will see my twitter updates. If you happen to have a twitter, follow me! I already have two followers and to be honest, I have no idea who they are. It's kind of odd. Just remember the link: www.twitter.com/owlgirl24.

It appears that I am short in thought tonight for I do not have much to say. I have thought about something pretty cool, if anyone wanted to participate. (It's lame; go with it anyway) If you want me to blog about a specific topic or if you just want to ask a question, I will write a blog about it! (Told you, LAME!) But really, it's simple and I think it could really be interesting. All you have to do is comment, asking me a question or giving me a topic: Within reason, of course.
I love questions.

Thank you to those who commented on previous posts, you are my inspiration. HA!

Remember, I love you all.

By Your Side

Hello readers and fellow bloggers!

It's been too long. (Or so it seems.) It's been a pretty busy week for me, I suppose. Last Thursday and Friday, my family and I traveled to Indian Trail for a conference; we had a great time. One of my favorite quotes from one of the speakers, whose name I cannot remember, was:

"The Word of God is light and light does two things. It gets rid of darkness and attracts bugs."

I just thought it was quite interesting; and humorous. Anyway, if you happened to attend, I'm sure you would agree it was a great time. However, if you didn't, you really missed out on something.
Let's see, Tuesday I headed over to the DMV to try for my license. Thankfully, I only had to take the road test and I didn't kill the instructor! - Yeah, I passed. That afternoon was spent in the library, because the library is one of the coolest places ever. It's not the biggest or nicest library, but at least they carried a good amount of books; I guess.
If you haven't fallen asleep from boredom yet, I applaud you. Even then, wipe that drool from your chin and sit up; I'm almost done with this post! If you feel the need to comment; please do. I have only received one, and that was from my mother. (I LOVE YOU!) So if you want to make my day, comment. It's open for anyone so go ahead, let me know you're reading. It would be much appreciated.

"...and she'll breath again."

Listening to:
Breathe Again by Jimmy Robbins


It's me again! (Obviously)

This past week has been pretty fun! Friday, as you might already know, I met up with Nicole and Chelsea, two of my favorite people ever, and we went to see the Jonas Brothers 3D movie! Of course it was awesome! We even got an innocent pedestrian to shout! WOO. ha ha
After the movie we headed to Taco Bell to hang out for awhile - where we ended up staying until 10:30 taking pictures with an employee. Fun stuff.

Today I had my first "official" day of work at Noah's Landing. I arrived at 10 - OK 10:30, I was a little late. I got down and dirty and cleaned the bengal cat, spring hare, and fennec foxs' cages. It might sound gross but I loved it. Later I made food bowls for some of the animals and swept shavings with a Patagonian Cavy at my feet.

I've been scared to step out and talk to people, it just doesn't come naturally to me. I can usually talk to strangers better than I can people I know - probably because I most likely won't ever see them again. I'm doing my best to just step up and say something, but as soon as I finally convince myself to say something, I lose my chance. I need to be a good witness and example and build relationships with people, especially ones who need to hear about Jesus and what He has done.

Lastly, I would like to ask everyone to pray for Ashley. You may not know her, but pray for her anyway. (please) She will be going to Haiti in June and she'll need help getting there. Pray that she will get all the help she needs, financially as well as spiritually. I want her to not stress too much about this trip - getting there that is. I can't wait to see what God is going to do through her, in her and with everyone she meets in Haiti. It is truly exciting and I am so glad she is able to go! God is good!

Off to bed!
