Random Wordiac

So, here is a run-down of things happened/happening over break:

• It snowed twenty inches+
• I got a Sony Reader
• We had Christmas Eve dinner with our Pastor Dan and his family
• I went to the eye doctor, and got glasses. :-P
• I gave many gifts, and blamed the Evil FedEx Man for one of my gifts being late...until realizing that it was the UPS man who eventually brought it.
• Emma and I made a rather amazing snow fort, as well as a snowman
• I received a super-awesome picture of my Amazing Fish
• I played Catan and tried to play Killer Bunnies
• I watched innumerable variations of Barbie and the ____ or Barbie in ____
• Made paper snowflakes *grins*
• Made a gingerbread house
  
• And more. :DHappy New Years!
  

So I added this new little Gadget thing on the side of my blog, it's pretty neat. You pick a charity, and then do really brief interactions with various advertisements (like 5 minutes to do 10 or so) and the advertisers pay the charity for giving them publicity. The one I chose is Blood:Water Mission, sponsored my Jars of Clay. Here is the website.

Oh! And I changed my blog layout....again. Cause I'm coo' like that (the little apostrophe thing is designating the lack of complete "L" sound at the end of the word, cause that's how cool people talk....yo).

God answers prayer. That is all I have to say. Well, no it isn't. But He does! I prayed for snow, hoping it would come, and now it has. Albeit where I least expected it, at my house rather than at college, and in amounts far exceeding my expectations (SEVENTEEN INCHES!!!!!). But come it has!!! I must admit I am not even sure what to do with this incredible amount of snow. I sink in up to my KNEES! It borders on Ridiculous Amount of Snow. Eliza loves it though, and makes "tracks" which I am supposed to follow. She does this by laying on her belly and army-crawling through the snow, leaving Eliza-sized drag marks. She also has a slightly disturbing craving to eat snow....
Lilly: Eliza, what are you doing?
Eliza: I'm eating my snowball *very matter of factly*. It's yummy. *"duh" look*

In fact, it only took her about 10 minutes into the snow to bury her face in it, and not even lick the snow, but take great heaping BITES of it. I gave her a baby snowman (three snowballs stuck together) and she BIT HIS HEAD OFF! I was aghast. I think it may be one of those psychological things where people have absurd and uncontrollable cravings for weird things, like soap. At least Eliza's is harmless.

So, I'm stealing my roommate's blog post idea, and blogging on the finale of the semester (semester III, part IV coming soon).
Some memories:

• Stepping on Ginko pods outside of Mckee, then telling my roommate if she steps on them I will make her sleep in the hall (they stink...really bad).


• Freaking out over a midterm that I ended up getting a perfect grade on.


• Going out to watch the meteor shower late on night with my roommate and Martie, seeing nothing but being freaked out by noises in the woods.


• Screaming my head off when I thought that there was a zombie manakin in the store window....then realizing it was just a person.
• Martha and Molly's random crazy moods
• Talking to the Romans on Skype
• Having movie nights, many of them, with my roommate and others.
• Going to my roomie's house for the weekend, and experiencing first-rate culture shock.
• Getting a fish, who is absolutely beautiful and the most perfect fish on the planet.
• Experiencing my first real classroom...albeit with a rather odd teacher.
• Meeting tons of new friends in Mckee, including ones who were formally rather intimidating *coughs*Kelly*coughs*
• Having a Dr.Watt Class, and loving it.
• Dr. Hoffman's awesome testimony
• Lamenting the warm winter, while complaining about the cold.
• Dropping my baked fish and watching it bounce on Alex's table (gross.)
• Laughing as Kat emerges from her bubble, and walks past our room...over and over....casually glancing inside....waiting for us to ask her in.... :D
• My amazing birthday, with Angel food cake, cookies, pink balloons, pink streamers, an awesome pair of pink earbuds, a pink sign, and pink frosting. :D
• Etc.
