This and That

My younger sister celebrated her birthday on Sunday. She was born on December 24, so she celebrates it early (I doubt any of her friends could come over on Christmas Eve ). I hid in my room and watched Hidalgo on my laptop.

I went shopping with my mother and sisters yesterday. I actually got something fashionable. The world must be coming to an end. It’s not that I try to be unfashionable, I just rarely find anything that is modest and I like, so I usually wear adult-small t-shirts from places like Colorado, Clean Place, and the Ren. Faire (seven months! *waits*).

I want a Great Dane, next dog I get. My younger sister wants a Chihuahua.

She and I and are exactly like in some areas (and simultaneously think the same things at times), and miles apart in others. For example, I was amused last night when she was all excited that she would get to buy a cute hat she’d wanted and commented, “Wow. You’re acting like I would if I got a new sword or something.”

For the record, the Twilight books by Stephanie Myers are trash, so don’t read them or see the movie. I’ve read enough of and about them to know this. Don’t post on my blog defending them.

I hope I can get some leather gloves and an archery target before long. The bow string wore a hole in my other gloves, and cardboard boxes full of straw don’t last very long.

Pendragon: Sword of His Father is an indie film made by a Christian family. It will be available for purchase on DVD from their website this month. Support their efforts to provide wholesome entertainment and purchase a copy if you like. Click here to go to the website.

Ever had a fruit crepe at IHOP? Click here for a recipe. I’ve made them twice. I used whole wheat flour (which worked great), left out the lemon juice and rind, and used blueberry and cherry pie filling for the fruit. I cook the crepes until they’re crispy. My family likes them better than the ones at IHOP (and they’re very easy to make, so it’s not my cooking, it’s the recipe).

Have an amazing rest of your life!
