80

You know that feeling when you just want to do something crazy even though you might be to old for it. I believe strongly in obeying that urge.

For 80, I climbed on top of a train car to view a sunset. It was such an amazing sunset, purple,pink. Just plain amazing. We were cleaning the offices and I noticed the sunset. The problem was a row a traincar blocking the view. So Marc and I climbed on top of the train car. They're big black tanks that carry chemical or such-like. 

For 81 I got up at 5:30 to take Duke, our dog, to the vet. I've taken dogs in before but never at 5:30 A.M. He wasn't fatally hurt or anything, he had just became a man. He was gone far more than he was home, so we decided to get him taken care of. Only 19 more to go. 'Till next time.

#78newthing and #79newthing

For 78, I really wanted to have Sunday School outside but that didn't work so I opted to eat dinner outside. It was such a beautiful day except for a few gnats. 

For 79, I decided to write down my emotions by the hour. I also decided to post them here.

11:48, kinda excited. worried, happy, hungry

1:22, blah, uninspired, gotta-do-dishes-feeling

2:03, happy, motivated, done-with-dishes-feeling

3:14, bored, expectant, waiting, wanting-something-I-can't-have

4:07, happy, carefree, kind of elated 

5:03, happy, chocolatety, highish

6:26, free, thoughtful, a little sad, fearing -for-my-life

7:51, blah, alive and living, kind of just content and happy 

8:28, full,fat and happy

9:06, happy, content, just normal

10:14, tired, 

10:49, happy, exhausted, on fire

That's about all my day. It was a lot of fun doing this. Later....

#77newthing

So for 77, I'm supposed to write a long fascinating post but I'm not sure it'll happen. The new thing though. So we, Nettie, Magen, Kit and I, were in a coffee shop in Vicksburg and Nettie found out that you could visit Douglas the Military Camel's grave. Douglas was used in the Texas Camel Experiment. This experiment was tried during the American Civil War. Basically they were attempting to replaces horses and mules, which were dying of dehydration, with camels. 

 Douglas carried supplies for the regimtal band such as instruments and knapsacks. He was also a mascot for the Company A of the 43rd Mississippi Infantry. Douglas broke free of his tether quite often, usually using his freedom to graze, always staying close to the regiment. On June 27th, 1863, he wandered into no man's land between the two armys and was shot down by a Yankee sharpshooter. He was then eaten by the Confederates who were starving. It was just seven days before Robert E. Lee surrendered. 

   His memorial stone reads, "Old Douglas" was the faithful, patient camel of the 43rd MS Infantry Vols, CSA. Douglas was a dromedary camel and was given to Col. W.H. Moore by L.T. W.H Hargrove of Co. B. Moore assigned Douglas.

  The back says, To the band, Douglas at first frightened all the 43rd's horses, but soon became a favorite of both man and beast. The 43rd was henceforth called "The Camel Regiment". Douglas served in the IUKA, Corinth, Central Ms, AA, and Vicks Campaigns. He was  intentionally killed by Yankee sharpshooters near the end of the siege. He may have been eaten by starving Confederates. Douglas' death was greatly mourned and as the 43rd vet wrote of him, "His service merits record."

 This day was a lot of fun because it was so random and involved some super cool people, some not so cool ones to though. Thanks for the awesome memory's, Nettie. I think I'll post today because this is kind of long. See y'all later....

 

#75newthing and #76newthing

So the 75th day is a rainy, dreery Thursday. It's school meeting so Marc is at home. I had absolutely no inspiration so I was going to just let the day unfold. Mom had mentioned that I could bake something but I'm not in a bakey mood today. Anyways I was halfheartedly sewing a dress, and messing with my brother when suddenly I found myself in the middle of a pillowfight. It started in the living room but mom feared for her life so we moved to the hall. I got hit in the face and my nose is sore but it was still fun. This is new because I've never really had a pillow fight for sure not with my little brother.

So 76, I did several new things but the one I'm going to tell you about is pretty cool. Maybe. I was with my mom and little brother in TJ Max and Marc and I were just browsing the store together. We picked out a jacket for him together, it turned out to be a girl's tho, we looked at women's belts and just shopped together. I think he even enjoyed it. If y'all have any cool ideas for my last 23 new things leave them bellow in the comment seaction. Bye....

#73newthing and #74newthing

So for 73, it's kind of a long story but several things didn't work out so I had to settle for boring. We had the new teachers over for the first time. OK confession time, so for 72 I went to bed super early. Then I said I was going to get up early. Well my alarm rang at 5:45 and guess what I did NOT get up. It also rang at 6:45 but I ended up getting up at 9:00. Go me, I have so much willpower.

For 74, I sat down and started sewing a Sunday dress. It needed darts in it and my faithful mother failed me, she made me sew the darts. They didn't turn out too bad but I haven't tried it on yet so we'll see. Later.....

#72newthing and #73newthing

So for 72 I was not inspired but something new did happen. My oldest brother's wife came to church in a shift. I'm so excited!

73 I'm typing this in bed and it's exactly 8:14 right now. So basically what I'm doing is going to bed super early and getting up fairly early. Even tho I'm a night owl, I'm actually kind of liking it. I mean whats not to like about pajamas at 8 o'clock. I figure I'll read some maybe, I don't figure I'll get to sleep right away. Goodnight. 

#70newthing and #71newthing

So for the 70th day, I was with Karillee and Kristina for a good part of the day. Karillee had to make a German chocolate cake and I helped her. I also ate at the El Agave in Oak grove. It was really good. I definitely recommend it. 

For 71, I played Scummy at 3 A.M, wow that was amazing. Lets just say that late at night, you're so tired, everything is exceedingly funny.  I only have thirty left, I'm so excited. Adios....

#68newthing and #69newthing and #70newthing

So for 68 I decided that since we weare going to go to town that I would be super Smiley. When we got to town I tried it out and it was actually pretty cool. Then there was a lack of communication and I had to chill by Walmart exit for awhile. So I had a perfect opportunity. I think I should do that more often it's cool. 

For 69 I helped tie a quilt. It was actually enjoyable like it was fun that day but I wouldn't want to everyday. 

For 70, I sang at Ernest and Alice Baergs house with the youth. That was also great. If you're wondering why this post is a little uninspired it's because I has it almost all written out and then It got deleted. Trust me the first draft was better. Later...

#66newthing and 67newthing

So for 67 I did several little things. I think I need to start putting a little more effort into these. I need some ideas tho so coment down below 👇. So one new thing is I helped make Sunday dinner without Mom. I tried some cherry limeade flavored water. Definitely recommend it. 

For 67 I babysat a baby at home alone. I was the only one at home when I was taking care of the baby. It was a new experience, quite a responsibility. Again if you have any ideas please leave them in the comments below. 'Till next time....

#65newthing and #66newthing

So For 65 I kinda did a lot of small things. One was going to the book fair with Karillee. Another was going into Charming Charlie's with Karillee, I do not recommend it. Another one was eating Kayla's Kitchen, I recommend it if you like cold soup. The food was good tho. So yep that was a little bit of my day. It was lots and lots of fun.

  66. Introducing the queen of the kitchen. It was actually fun having the run of the kitchen. I had to heat up supper that Sharla brought it. Side Note, it was really, really good. I also had to do the dishes. It was lots of fun ordering Marc around and knowing he had to do what I told him. Later....

#63newthing and #64newthing

So in a earlier blog I tried a new pattern and failed. So this one is a sequel to that one. Today I took that epic fail and remade it. It actually fits decently well now.  Added bonus I also for some reason got into hashtags. So then whenever someone texted me I would reply in hashtags. It got crazy there for a little bit. #totescraycray

So now it starts. Lately it seems like life is easier if I don't talk to Marc so I decided to do a Don't Talk to Bro part 2. Twist, he doesn't know. He just got home from school and is making some cookies right now so we'll see how it goes. There's been a few fails like the time he called me pig but not too many.

This is hard but not as hard as with Marvin because Marc doesn't know.

This is so harder than it looks.

I so failed. Its a beautiful evending and we we're goofing off. I was teaching him how to do a cartwheel and I completely forgot abt not talking to him. So this one kind of feel through. I kind of failed. Next time....

#60newthing and #61newthing

60... wow only 40 more. I am typing this out as I pilot my little bro's hoverboard around. One more twist I'm wearing high heels. ya this isn't a major big something but whatever

61 I looked up how say hello in fi e different languages. Some of them I can't even pronounce. 

Russian: Zdravstvuyte 

Viatanamese: xin chap 

Japanese: Kon'nichiwa

German:Hallo

Korean: yeoboseyo

So it was really interesting. I wish I could do a audio of how to pronounce but that isn't happening. OK bye...

#58newthing and #59newthing

AAAHHHHH someone HELP ME!!! I asked Marvin what I should do for challenge today and he said, "Don't talk to me for a day". I decided to take him up on it just to show him. Its gonna be ssoooo hard tho!!!!! So tomorrow afternoon at 12:50 I get to talk to him again. I'll tell you then if I succeeded.

 Fail 1, Marvin stuck his leg across my pathway and I said Stop it. 

Fail 2, Marvin was smacking his food and rocking my char with his foot and I started to tell him to stop. He thinks it's so funny because he can do whatever he wants and I can't say anything. 

 Marvin says I talked to him again, I'm not so sure I did but it's kind of a long, complicated story. I tried writing it out several different ways but it never made sense.

Fail 4 

This is so bad, for sure when he brings up dumb inside jokes or something. Please don't try this at home.

Fail 5

I do not recommend doing this.

Fail 6

Its hard to remember to talk to Marc instead of Marvin in a conversation. I think it's funny how we can communicate without talking.

Yay free to talk finally!!!! Once again I do not recommend this it's TORTURE!

For 59 I heard Ernest and Alice Baerg's love story. This was not planned but what a story. Wow just wow. Later....

#56newthing and #57newthing

For 56 I tried to make slime. It seems like it's everywhere on the internet so I decided to just do it. Its kind of lime gack I think. Anyways I don't know what I did wrong but my slime did not turn out. It wouldn't set up or whatever. Some recipes use a borax and water mixture but we don't have borax. My recipe said saline solution, so I tried it but I'm kind of thinking that's why it didn't work. Maybe I'll try again later. 

For 57 I tried to watch a homecoming parade but did not succeed. We needed to be two places at once so it just didn't  work. I wasn't too impressed because it sounded really cool.

 I'm kind of excited that I'm past fifty because it's seems like it's all downhill from here. Like I'm gonna get there soon so that's exciting to me. I think I'll miss it but it'll be kinda like Marvin said "terrible in a great way". If you can catch what I'm saying. See y'all....

#54newthing and #55newthing

Hello, it's me again. For 54 I sewed a new pattern and it flopped. Wow it flopped major. I also sat around a table listening to some older, but not old, ladies talk about all kinds of things. It was so intertaining. 

For 55 I volunteered too help clean up a building. The man was going to have GED classes there and it needed some paint and differsent stuff so we did what was needed. It was an enjoyable evening, I thought. Bye see yallins later....

#52newthing and #53newthing

Heyyyy

So for 52 I attended a fifth Sunday youth deal and at that youth deal we played Kings and Fools for two hours. It could have been longer that's just an approximate. We were going to do some outside but the mosquitoes we're awful so we moved back inside. It was a lot of fun tho.

For 53 I ate an ice cream cone.I know so original, actually it was from Lil Freezers. I've never eaten ice cream from there but I was super impressed. Definitely recommend it. So on that note, I'll see bye.
