"Woke Up To-day to Everything Grey..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Ohh, I am so tired to-day.

My people are good. I met some wonderful new ladies; Don is more than walking--he's jogging--and just a lot of good is going on. Also, our new activities director is a Good Thing so far. I have certainly high hopes.

--and I went to Rite Aid and got some more things for Valentine's (although I already have a tonne of things for Valentine's) and have been making more of my paper ones, and just generally doing everything I can to keep it together. I think I'll do all right, if I keep trying and keep busy and make sure I don't get too far behind in everything (note to self: actually do your history to-morrow instead of reading more H. G. Wells). castaly, I still need your address! Or your muffins will get stale, and naturally that will be a tragedy.

I also need to get my act together enough that I can start applying for a job soon. I am broke badly; but there are three places I would love to be able to work, so maybe if I get on top of things I can try to do that. To-day we made gumdrop atoms in chem; I like the CH3Cl best. It looks like a war of the worlds tripod, and C was a big licorice medallion, because it had to be big enough for four bonds, and the gumdrops weren't. And I brought a handful home for Waen, who--guess what?--has gotten her electric guitar. It's a black Les Paul, and she's really excited--it came with an amp--and she's been playing it constantly ever since.

And I forgot--I totally forgot--but. Guess what?

We got our house.

I know. I know. We got it. ^_____________^ It's ours. Our beautiful stream with the suspension bridge; ours with the woodshed and the smokehouse and the barn and the chicken run and the pig barn and the carshed. Ours with the potato field. Ours with the acres of woodland. And Daddy said that I could keep a lamb, since it'll be big enough for that. My very own sheep. ^________^ Waen wants to raise hogs, since we have a smokehouse, and Daddy says it's worth considering. We're also going to have of course our guineas and chickens. This is going to be so wonderful. Our house goes up for sale in six weeks; we're still doing repairs. We just repainted the entire kitchen, and we're putting up new wallpaper and cleaning tonnes of things and getting it all ready so that people will want to buy it.

Truly--it's all right. I'll knock on wood--it's all right--we actually have a home. We have a home.

I have a home.

Oh--! A beautiful house and home! ^_________^ Congratulations to your family, lady! That's wonderful! *hugs*

I am so happy. *lovesonto* I don't even know how to say how happy.

[bewareofitalics]

Eee, house! And eee, sheep! :D (Do you know the song "Little Lamb" from Gypsy? If not, I should send it to you. Except it's kind of depressing. And live lambs onstage are generally not a good thing. But it's pretty!)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^___^ YES. SHEEEEEEEEEEP. (I don't. XD Eeee!)

[bewareofitalics]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw. :D (Here ya go! ...and I was going to describe the basic situation, but it was getting too convoluted, so, here? *g*)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^____^ (thank you v. muchly!)

[canadabear.livejournal.com]

LAMB! Sheep! OMG I've always wanted a lamb of my very own. *is so much with the jealousness*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Sheep are my favourite animals, and I have wanted one for a very long time, but our current farm is much too small to support another addition (we have four horses). This one will be bigger. I will share pictures?

HOUSE! ^__^ *huggles you tight*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^__________^ *LOVES*

[erinpuff]

Eeeeee, a house! ^__^ Where iiiiiiis it?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

It's in Snyder County, so it's not really that far from where we already live--about fifteen minutes from Newport. It'll be close enough that we won't have to change churches or jobs or friends.

[erinpuff]

Eeeeee, that's wonderful. ^________^

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^__________^ I'm so happy.

<3333! :D

(inarticulate--so i hope you can feel my positiveness flowing, through emoticon-holes poked in the screen, into where-you-are.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^______________^

(believe me, I know. ♥)

[peridium.livejournal.com]

fjdskfs sheep. ^______^

*articulate this late, what?*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

That is the appopriate reaction, obviously.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Hurray! I'm very glad for you. :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^____^ Thank youuu.

allllsoooo...i would love to have your mailing address so i can, you know, mail you letters? and other nice things even though, let's be frank, the fruit of my ovens (that sounds really bad) is not something to covet :)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Oh--it's PO Box 17 Old Trail Road
New Buffalo, PA
17069

but it's liable to change within the next year because of moving. I will probably post a general alert on my LJ for that, though.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Package sent.

[tiamatschild.livejournal.com]

HUZZAH! It came through after all! Oh, that's so awesome, kidlet. *huuuuuuuugs!*

And a lamb! Oh, sheep. Sheep are so pretty.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

It did! I'm so so happy that I can't even say. I didn't know whether it would. *loves*

I know. My favourite animal.

[karla-yonit.livejournal.com]

^____________^ So happy for you. (sheeeeeeep!)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. ^__^

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

I've already said it and it's already been said, but congratulations ^______^

In my chemistry, we only ever got to make atoms with wooden balls and wooden sticks. Therefore, *JEALOUS!*

Also, lamb ^_____________________________^

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Thank you. ^______^ I am so happy.

Ha ha! Our teacher said she was going to get us one of those, but they cost forty dollars, and she could get toothpicks and gumdrops for four, so she did that instead. XD

I know! Squee!

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

^_____^

More expensive really does not mean better ;_; Also, ours were old and probably bought when they cost four dollars themselves.

Sheep: they are weird like goats but better because they are not as scary ^__^

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

^_^!

Well, that is true; I only explain why they were chosen.

And also they are softer and nicer to look at.

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

And i only point out that the cheaper thing was far more interesting, entertaining, and educating...!

Oh, yes, all that too ^___^! (I want to go around Baaing now...)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

And tastier! :D

^____^ (I do that all the time! Hee!)
