Today wasn't the best day I've ever had. My good friend Grace greatly encouraged me, though. She reminded me that no matter what, God is going to work everything out for good. Ah, I'm so glad God gave me friends. I would be a sad person without these blessings. *sigh* Have you ever wanted to say something to someone, but you know it would we the wrong thing to do. Don't you ha.te it when you feel like yelling at the top of your lungs, but you know that once you open your mouth, you're going to regret it? Well, for thoes of you Pamala's Prayer watchers (hmm...only a few people will get that), just remember that Jesus had all kinds of false accusations made against him, but what did he say? Nothing. He knew what was the truth. Welp, I'm really not making all the sense in the world right now, but that's alright. This is my blog and I feel like rambling right now. ;) The Time Has Come Guess what I did on Thursday night. I cut my own father's hair. I, Charity Ruth Blackwood, was trusted, not only with sissors, but also with a high powered razor. (Is that what you call that thing??) I was pretty scared at first that I would totally destroy my dad's head, but he wasn't too worried. He just wanted most of the long hair off his head. I started out all right, on the sides and back, then finally the top. It probably took longer than most barbars, but hey, I'm an amateur! Then my dad said the back could probably use a little more cut off. Weeelll...I should have stopped while I was ahead. I ly cut a little gash (in the hair, not his head!) out of the back. My mom freaked out, but my dad looked in the mirror and just didn't seem horrified at all. Which is pretty good condsidering if I were me I wouldn't let myself near my hair with and type of cutting device!! Heh, more rambling and nonsense writing. This is pretty fun, actually. OK, I better go on to bigger and brighter things now. I wish you all a wonderful evening and an even better tomorrow! :) Verses of the Day: "And we know that God works all things to out for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose." ~Romans 8:28~ "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." ~Romans 12:21~ Song of the Day: "Endangered Love (Barbra Manatee)" ~Larry (Veggie Tales)~ (Haha, listen to all of this great song!) Quote of the Day: "Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, everyday, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do." ~Christopher Morley~ Charity | 9:28 am Comments-[ comments.]

Take the quiz: "Which'>http://www.zenhex.com/quiz.php?id=12">"Which American City Are You?" 
Orlando You are sunshine and playtime. You just wanna have fun and nobody can drag you down. Oh yeah, that's me. ;) Soo Tired I spent the night at Anna Pulliam's last night. We had lot of fun, being the only ones home except for Mrs. Pulliam. We had many edicational experiences, including: watching Bambi, having highly important discussions, getting really hot, being lazy, working a video camera, and making muffins and pancakes. It was a blast! :) We went to bed kind of late and woke up first to the sound of David's very loud VERY annoying alarm clock, and then to the nice sound of Anna's Spiderman soundtrack. We also babysat the Cussells (their neighbors, sp??) for a little while and the little baby boy cried his head off at the sight of me. Am I really that scary looking!?! Great Books I spent most of today reading a book borrowed from the Pulliams called "Nightmear Academy" by Frank Peretti. It is the second in a series called The Vertias Project. They are excellent books! I highly recommend them! We own the first one, and I have read it twice. I am hoping that the Pulliams have the rest of them because I really want to read the next ones!!! Verse of the Day: "Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." ~Ecclesiastes 12:13-14~ Song of the Day: "White Houses" ~Vanessa Carlton~ Quote of the Day: "Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others." ~Anonymous~ Charity | 9:14 am Comments-[ comments.]

Did you know that IUPUI is also called oohie poohie? Haha, I just thought that was funny. :) That's where my brothers, Allen and Zachary go are going to school this year. And, wow, they are probably BOTH going to graduate this year! That's so sad! Our house is going to be so quiet without them. Actually, the both might go to IUPUI next year, again. So...no such luck of getting rid of them yet! Just kidding. :) Allen wants to go to Purdue, and they have both been getting a ton of mail from tons of colleges, so we'll see. Songs on Blogs Ok, you all have been asking me how to put music on your blog. I can tell you the only way I know how. Copy and paste it from my template to yours. Then to change the song you have to get the address from whatever song you want (Media Player is really good for this.) and you copy and paste it in five places on your template. (Don't worry they're all right by eachother, and it's really easy.) I'm sorry I don't know how to do it any other way, but that's how Allen did it for me and how I did it for Mary and Mary. Waaiiitt a second! I just had a bright new idea! If you want music on your blog, you can comment that you want it and I could email you what you have to put in your template! Wow, it took me a while to realize that. ;) Speech Yesterday's speech class went okay. I did alright, I guess, and everyone else did a really good job. Now that we're done with oral interpurtation (sp?) we have to start writing our own speeches. Scary stuff! Next week is a demonstration speech and I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO!!! Oh well, I can think about it over the weekend and start on it on Monday, I guess. Verse of the Day: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son." ~John 3:16-18~ Song of the Day: "Bring Me to Life" ~Evanescence~ Quote of the Day: "Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen." ~Michael Jordan~ Charity | 4:07 am Comments-[ comments.]

Hey everyone! Go check our Mary Hovee's blog! That's the third person I've convinced to get a blog! I should go into buisness, don't you think?! Haha, just kidding. ;) Changes Does everyone like the changes? It's not much, but it took a while. Does everyone see what I'm talking about?? I really need to change the picture...maybe I'll try to do that tomorrow, though. Not that I don't like that picture, I love it! But I think it's time for a change. I'm just all in to changes today! Question I HA.TE ALGEBRA WITH A PASSION!!! What is the point of it?? How am I going to use it in life? When I asked Mrs. Hovee this, she simply replied, "You know, I don't know. I think it's pretty pointless myself." Thank you Mrs. H!!! I realize the need to learn basic math, but ALGEBRA?? Uggghhhhhhh I don't like it ONE bit! Okay, it's not really that hard, but it's soooooo annoying and takes soooo long!! *sigh* I really don't feel much better. I better go finish my Algebra now. >:( Verse of the Day: "Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." ~2 Timothy 2:22~ Song of the Day: "Meant to Live" ~Switchfoot~ (I can't change the song on my blog to the song of the day today cuz our computer is a little screwed up. Also, sorry if I'm repeating the Song of the Day. I'm only doing it because before I couldn't actually put the music on my blog!) Quote of the Day: "It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well." ~Rene Descartes~ (Great quote! Not that I think I have a great mind! Haha. :)) Charity | 4:28 am Comments-[ comments.]

Well, Allen and I survived! And my family got home safely! :) Last night was kind of scary. Allen went to something with highschoolers, and my family didn't get home till about eleven. So I was home all by my lonesome! But it was actually kind of fun! I got the whole house to myself, including the computer and phone! :D Church I can count the times I've been late for church on one hand. But, yesterday I wasn't just late to the morning service, I was also late for evening church! It was so sad. In the morning, I was ready, not to mention at the Ray's which is about 3 minutes from the church! The guys (Allen, Joe, Isaac) left right before we s (Mary, Hannah, Rebekah, and me), and Mr. and Mrs. Ray left a lot earlier than us. Anyways, Hannah couldn't find a working key. Then she made me go and lock the door! ;) Soo...we were slightly late. I wasn't exactly sure what we were doing for choir, either! So that was interesting! Allen and I ate at our grandparent's house. We went home in the afternoon and both ended up sleeping. Allen set the time for his alarm, but forgot to actually turn the alarm on! And I, not thinking, set my alarm for 5:30 p.m. We live about 15 minutes from the church, so that would have given us exactly enough time to get there when the service started at 5:45 p.m. Obviously, it took us a few minutes to get ready and go. So we got there almost 10 minutes late. But at least we got there, right?! ;) Things I like I got this idea from Ashley Rusk. 1. Getting a new piano piece (that I actually WANT to play! ;)) 2. Roomy T-shirts & Sweatshirts 3. Sleepovers - sometimes big ones, sometimes just me and one other person 4. Long phone conversations about nothing in particular 5. Singing silly songs (I do like serious songs too, ya know!) 6. Working with a friend 7. Games that have been played WAY too many times, but are still fun 8. Blo.nde moments 9. Laughing long and hard about something totally stupid 10. My dad teasing me (Shh...don't tell him I actually like it! ;)) There is so much more I could put, but these are just some simple little things that make me smile. Verse of the Day: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." ~Colossians 3:16-17~ Song of the Day: "Into the West" ~Annie Lennox~ (Listen to this ALL the way through. The end is really pretty! It's after the song ends.) Quote of the Day: "When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love." ~Marcus Aurelius quotes~ Charity | 4:26 am Comments-[ comments.]

Last night Pastor Keddie was installed as pastor at our church. (Southside RPC) His installation was very...well, happy, I guess. :) I don't know. It just seemed really joyous, and I enjoyed it a lot. Of course, the cake afterwards helped, too! Just kidding! ;) I was actually scared of the cake cuz it had jelly in it and I had a white shirt on! Trust me, white, food, and me don't go very well together! Anyways, afterwards Grace, Mary, the other Mary (Hovee), Charlotte(Elder), and Julia (Cerbus) played "The Mint Game". Haha, it's so much fun! See, you know those little pastel colored mint things that they often serve at weddings? Well, they had those there. And about a year ago, Grace and I made up "The Mind Game". We aren't very good, though. ;) You take a mint, tilt your head back, throw the mint in the air, and TRY to catch it in your mouth. As you have prolly guessed, we haven't exactly mastered the technique yet. But we're getting there! (sort of...) Plans While the rest of my family is going to Elkhart, Allen and I will be staying home. Tonight we are staying at the Ray's. I just know they're all SO excited!!! :) Mrs. Ray said, "Well at least it's better than a bunch of giggly s." To which I replied, "Well...you know Allen!" Mrs. Ray tried to pretend she doesn't like me around, but I'm not fooled. I know she loves me...deep down inside! Just like my dear friend Hannah Ray! Ok ok, I am rambling here. I don't have much more to share. Verse of the Day: "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed." ~Romans 8:18-19~ Song of the Day: "A Thousand Miles" ~Vanessa Carlton~ (Mine and Mary's song! You should hear us sing it! Haha. :)) Quote of the Day: "Those who are clever, who have a Brain, never understand anything." ~Winnie the Pooh~ Charity | 4:37 am Comments-[ comments.]

I had a test in Biology today. It really wasn't very hard. Prolly cuz I actually studied! ;) I usually study, but when it comes to science, I'm usually not as dilligent as I was this week. We also got to take a field-trip a nearby pond for an experiment. We were required to observe our surroundings and draw what we saw. I was reminded that I am not a very good artist!! I was very happy with my grade in speech! I didn't think I had done all that well, but apparently Mrs. Baumgardener thought I did! This time she did reverse alphabetical order, so I was last. At first I thought I would get really nervous sitting through everyone else's speeches, but I really wasn't until just before I got up there. I am soooo glad to get classes for this week over with, though!!! This Weekend I really want to do something this weekened. Wow, this week has gone by FAST! And I need a break from school, even if it's just sleeping in a little and taking a day off to sit around for a while. Although, I'd much rather do SOMETHING! Friday is Pastor Keddie's installation. I made the mistake of calling it an ordination, but Mary Ray corrected me on that one. :) Also, on Saturday I have youth group. Ohhh wait! I don't get to go! My dad is preaching in Elkhart! (is that how you spell it??) That's kind of sad, but we get to stay with the Moore's so that should be fun. Weelll...I guess that is a pretty full weekend, but I still feel like doing something more. I guess I won't be getting all that much rest. Oh well. ;D Verse of the Day: "In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us." ~Titus 2:7-8~ (Is that not a great verse? Of course, all of God's Word is great! :D) Song of the Day: "The Sega Begins" ~Weird Al~ (whohoo, two Weird Al songs in a row! ;)) Quote of the Day: "When you look in the mirror, you look for all the imperfections. But when people look at you, they see all the beauty." ~Grace Hanson~ (And I like that quote, so don't make fun!!! :)) Charity | 7:38 am Comments-[ comments.]

I am having a really, really good chocolate/peanut butter milkshake that I just made for myself. It was really small, so it's almost gone. But it sure brightened my day! :) I was just working on my speech. I was really bummed cuz I had it all written out and I thought it was finished, but then I read it aloud and it wasn't long enough. Ah well, I think it's long enough now, but I still may have to add some more. It is a speech about time. Speaking of using our time wisely...I better get back to work. ;) Verse of the Day: “The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving in iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty.” ~Numbers 14:18~ Song of the Day: I am going to try to change the song on my blog to whatever I have for the song of the day, like Allen does. But first I have to ask him to show me how again. ;) If it gets to be too much of a pain, I will just change it every once in a while. Does everyone like the song right now? "Trash Day" ~Weird Al~ (Benjamin was upstairs singing this! It's pretty funny. I'll try to put it on my blog sometime. :)) Quote of the Day: "The language of friendship is not words but meanings." ~Henry David Thoreau~ Charity | 4:28 am Comments-[ comments.]

You gotta love weekends! Time to take a little break from school and just relax a little and have some fun. Also, on Sunday we get to rest AND worship God! On Friday I babysat for Timothy Eacret then came home and watched "Big Fat Liar" with Allen. It was sooo funny! I laughed so hard! The story is pretty dumb, but there are some really funny parts! Plus, it was like one o'clock in the morning and that made it even funnier! On Saturday, I got woken up at 7:30 by my wonderful younger siblings. I went back to sleep for a little bit, but then had to get up for breakfast and I had a bunch of things to do before youth group. My dad succeeded in putting doors on my closet! But the only problem is there are still holes on either side of the doors so you can still see in the sides of the closet. My dad said he will try to get those closed up before I get married. I am soo comforted by that. After youth group, Mary and I had planned to go see Shrek 2 with my brothers and some of her siblings. Well, Allen took it opon himself to invite the whole youth group, as well! Not everybody could come, but we had a pretty good crowd there! We had nine people in our 8 passenger minivan. But it turned out to be a lot of fun. The movie isn't great, but it was in the dollar theater, so we thought it would be worth seeing again. When we got there, there were huugggee long lines. Thankfully, some of our group had gotten there before us. So Christy Straw ended up paying for about 10 tickets because we didn't want to get in the back of the line! It was very, very crowded in the theater, but we all managed to find seats. I had a lot of fun, even if we only watched a silly movie that I had already seen. :) On Sunday evening, my dad preached in Avon. Some people from 2nd RP are trying to start a church there. I got to see some of my fellow ECHOians, so that was neat. And there was food, so who can beat that! ;) Speech Last Thursday I gave my first speech. It was pretty scary and I decided I do NOT like alphabetical order! But one good thing about going first is you can get it over with and not have to wait through everyone else's being nervous. I got a lower grade than I had hoped for, but I did alright, I guess. There were some VERY good stories and speakers, though! This week the guys are supossed to do a Psalm explanation (sorry guys) and the s are doing a short devotional. I was having a really hard time getting started, but last night once I got an idea, it all went pretty well. I just started writing and kept going! I still have a lot to work on, but at least I have a good start! My dad told me that's how pastors feel. I was like, 'oh great I can relate with pastors now!' But I think this class will be challenging...to say the least. I love to talk, but that doesn't mean I love to talk in front of a bunch of people!! Verse of the Day: "To every thing there is a season and I time to every purpose under Heaven." ~Ecclestiastes 3:1~ Song of the Day: "Hard Candy" ~Counting Crows~ Quote of the Day: "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on." ~Thomas Jefferson~ Charity | 1:01 am Comments-[ comments.]

Thank you Allen for your wonderous work on my blog template!!! He really did almost all of it. All I really did was type in my passwords and tell him what I wanted and what I liked and didn't like! He(well sort of we) worked several hours on it. He's very much a perfectionist, I found out. :) I'm glad he knew what he was doing, cuz I was pretty lost! ;) His blog is really cool if any of you haven't been to it lately! Soo comments on the new tamplate? Likes, dislikes? Well, I really, really like it all except for one thing. There are supossed to be cherries raining down, but for some reason they aren't working! Oh by the way, try the tagboard! :D September 11 Wow. I can't believe it's been three years today. I remember when I first heard about it. We were homeschooled and just finishing breakfast when my dad called from work and told my mom to turn on the TV because some plane had crashed into a building I had never heard of before. So, we turned on the television and kept it on for the rest of the day. Since we watched it so long, our regular schoolwork was exempt and we just had to write an essay on what we thought about the whole thing. Now, three years later, I don't really think of it much anymore. The movie on Allen's blog kind of brought me back to reality about the whole thing. It really wasn't that long ago. The horror of it still exists. This happened to our country - to us. But maybe it was a wake-up call. Maybe it was punishment from God. Perhaps it was His way of showing us we aren't as powerful as we think. There is so much sin in our country today! So many things that displease God. So many people who think they don't need Him. We DO need Him. We need His grace, we need His mercy, we need His protection. Without Him, we are nothing. I just wish our country would realize that. Verse of the Day: "Oh praise the Lord all you nations. Praise Him all you peoples. For His merciful kindness is great towards us and the truth of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!" ~Psalm 177:1-2~ Song of the Day: "Have You Forgotten?" ~Darrel Worely~ Quote of the Day: This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day. Yet, we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world. ~George Bush~ Charity | 1:07 am Comments-[ comments.]

I did soo much school yesterday! I kind of got off schedule because of Labor Day and everything. I worked on Biology for more than two hours and on speech for about three. And I did some more this morning! But I'm sure it will all be worth it. :) Speaking of Labor Day... On Friday morning I went to to my aunt and uncle's house to camp with my mom's side of the family. It was a ton of fun! Their neighbors had a four-wheeler and my cousin, Micah, had one, too. So, on Saturday, we raced them around the lake by their house. It was so incredibly fun! Especially since we had four people on each one! Later on we saw a warning on the four-wheeler that said, "NEVER carry passengers!" It was a little too late for that. It also said "No drivers under 18" and we had one 11-yr old and one 14-yr old driving! :-D On Monday, we had a Labor Day picnic for the families at our church. About 50 people were there. We swam, played volleyball, and even got some people to try the Virgina Reel! It wasn't as fun as I'd hoped it would be because not everyone was really trying, but I can't really blame them. I practically had to drag most of them out there. ;) Anyways, it was a great time. Verse of the Day: "A certian Jew named Apollos, born in Alexandria, an eloquent man, mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus." ~Acts 18:24~ (We have to memorize that for speech) Song of the Day: "You are my Sunshine" Quote of the Day: "A person who asks a question is a fool for five minutes. A person who doesn't ask a question is a fool for life." Sorry guys, I have a terrible headache from school and such and I am not being very creative right now. :) Charity | 4:03 am Comments-[ comments.]

Guess what?!? I got my hair highlighted! Now, this may not thrill many people, but it sure excites me! Well, now that you all think I'm so vain, I'll have you know that it obviously looks very natural because today at church, Mary Ray was the only person who noticed! Of course, she noticed right away. But that's because she's one of my best friends, so she would notice if I painted my toe nails a different color! Ok, so maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration... :) Something I've noticed... Ok, I am not trying to imply anything or accuse anyone, because I know I do this, too. Just keep that in mind... See, I have noticed several things about the internet. You can talk to people you don't usually talk to, it's pretty adictive, and sometimes you may say things you wouldn't say to people in person. Even an thing such as commenting on someone's blog. While blogs are a great way to communicate and even glorify God (among other reasons), they can be a distraction from more important things. That's why I think I am only going to update every other day, if even that. Plus, I didn't update for three days and I got 16 comments! ;) Anyways, another thing is that sometimes you talk to someone on the internet (whether it be email, IM, or blogs) who you wouldn't talk to in person. And sometimes you say things you wouldn't say to their face. I'm really not trying to accuse anyone, cuz I know I do this, too. But it's something we all need to be more careful about. School I have soo much school to get done before Thursday! We aren't having school tomorrow because of Labor Day, but I am going to have to do some. :( Oh well, it's better than getting behind or getting a bad grade! Verse of the Day: "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." ~1 Timothy 2:1-4~ Song of the Day: Psalm 148 Quote of the Day: "Motovation is what gets you going. Habit is what keeps you going." ~Jim Rohn~ Charity | 12:20 pm Comments-[ comments.]

I have made up my mind. I am changing my template. The reason I didn't update yesterday was because I spent so much time on blogskins.com looking for a new blog template! And I even found one I really liked! But... (now, you're not allowed to make fun of me) see I'm not exactly on top of this whole down-loading things on the computer thing, so I kind of need some help from my wonderous brother - Allen!!! And I know he will help me because he is soo wonderful and great and loving and kind! (I hope he reads that...;)) Soo...until that point in time where my blog transforms from boring Charity's Blog to the new and improved "Through My Blue Eyes" (is that a dumb name? Tell me honestly...), you will all just have to be patient and endure the boringness. By the way, do you guys absolutely ha.te the new template? Well...that's prolly not going to change my mind cuz I like it, but you can still say if you do. :) Northside Classes I had my first Northside classes today - Speech and Biology. Biology actually sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun! I can't believe I'm actually SAYING that about a science class! But I'm sure it will not be all fun. In a way, though, I am looking forward to the challenge. Call me crazy... :) As for Speech...that is definitely doing to be challenging, and also kind of scary. At least it is for me. But I think it will also be kind of fun. If I can keep from laughing. :D Verse of the Day: See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and his arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. ~Isaiah 40:10-11~ Song of the Day: "Another Perfect Day" ~American Hi-Fi~ Quote of the Day: Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~ Charity | 5:48 am Comments-[ comments.]

Time is one of God's wonderful gifts, and He expects us to use it wisely. My siblings and I are learning this the hard way. My parents are having us fill out sheets telling everything we do in our day. It's set up in sections of five minutes. We have to write down every little, tiny thing we do. Eating, school, computer, phone, talking, walking around aimlessly, even when we go to the bathroom! We are just doing it for this week so my parents can see if we are using our time wisely. I didn't really do that today, so this is going to be a short post. So sorry! Go to the Ant! I was reminded at the ECHO party by a verse in Proverbs that tells us to look at the ant and see how she works. There is also a song by Judy Rogers based on that verse. Here is one of the verses that explains exactly how I am some of the time: Are you the helpful kind? Do you ever see if you can help your mother? Or are you the lazy kind And you wait around hoping she'll ask your brother? Is that not how we all are sometimes? I do help my mother, yes, but I also am not proud to say that I am also often lazy and hope I don't have to do a certian job. Well, God tells us to go to the ant! She works hard all day without complaining! We should, in that way, imitate her. Verse of the Day: The one that says "Go to the Ant" sorry I don't have time to look it up! Song of the Day: "Are You Happy Now?" ~Michelle Branch~ Quote of the Day: Tamara: Dad gets headaches a lot. I think he needs new glasses. Benjamin: Tamara, what do glasses do to your head? Allen: They sit opon them. Ugh! My computer is doing the two-space-when-I- hit-the-enter-key thing again!! Also, sorry this is a pretty boring post! Any suggestions to make my blog more exciting??
