Here It Comes!

By on Oct 17, 2016 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

Hello again, voyagers! So, here I am again. And this time, I’m determined not to use all-capitals or extra exclamation points!. This is going to look SO so professional!. Anyway, what’s the news? Well… I haven’t written anything other than a short story for school. I have been training Jinx a little bit, and I have been working on this blue cloth-cover-thing with Mom. So far we’ve cut out the pieces and are now trying to figure out how to attach them… I have also had a sleepover with a friend, gone to co-op, been enlisted as a camel in said co-op, done school, and made Apple Slices (that links pretty close to the recipe I used), which Olivia says is really just apple pie. They tasted good, either way. With Thanksgiving coming up, any practice is good practice!. Speaking of upcoming events, I’m sure you can guess what comes after Halloween and...

Back on Track

Buenos dias, buddies! Assuming it is morning, that is. Okay, okay, yes, it’s been a while, but in my defense, the big computer was out of order and it was only a week or so ago we finally got this new one. And. It. Is. AWESOMESAUCE. I mean, like it turns on and the ‘A’ key works perfectly well–see, AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa. It’s got a few bugs, but I’d be more worried if an electronic device didn’t have problems. So anywho, since I last wrote… Well. Hmm. We’ve been doing school, I’ve practiced my drawing skills, and–oh! I’ve got a new bike! That’s exciting! And I ate at Planet Yogurt with Olivia. And we’ve started going to homeschool co-op frequently, and we’ve played Wii and watched TV shows and… That’s about it. But WE HAVE A NEW COMPUTER now, so I’m planning to get my life back on...

Ode to Cats, Brothers, and Other Relations

Hello, readers fair and few! As you may realize, yesterday was my brother’s birthday. What you may not know is that it was also the day our lovely grandparents + aunt, Grandmaita, Grandpa, and Tia, left. So bittersweet. Since I last wrote, I’ve had some fun times with Renee, who stayed with us, and Sam, who had returned to Nairobi (though unfortunately, there wasn’t much overlap between Renee’s visit and Sam’s), watched Finding Dory with the Mundy’s (is that how you’d say it?) (It was pretty awesome, considering it was about fish, of all things!), and as I mentioned before, Grandmaita, Grandpa, and Tia came for a visit! Also, very sadly, Sam and her fam moved to a WHOLE ‘NOTHER CONTINENT!!! So with family extended, we did a whole load of fun stuff, from the Giraffe Center to the Lake Naivasha cabins to Olivia, Mom, and Tia going to the...

It Has Been TOO LOOOOONG…

He-llo, peoples! I’ve not written in a long time… TOO long, really. Why? Because I am lazy and like to procrastinate. Yeah… So, what’s happened since I last wrote… TWO MONTHS AGO, at LEAST!?! Well, there was Educational Support Week, which I’ve written about before–ESW, ESW! Yup, homeschool week’s always pretty crazy–I got lost more than anything else, but it was still a lot of fun, especially since I got to hang with my two good friends, Renee and Sam. Speaking of which, for a while Sam and her familia were our neighbors, which was crazy fun. We kicked shoes, we watched YouTube, we played Minecraft, we played Wii, we did it all over again. What fun! Sadly, she left recently, leaving me ALONE in THE WORLD. Well, not really. I just like being dramatic. Back to the subject of homeschool week; some of the fun things we did were:...

Out of the Desert and Into the Swamp

By on Apr 29, 2016 in Uncategorized | 4 comments

Hey, how’s it going? Good? I hope so. I figured it was about time for another boring blog entry, about how I’ve been obsessing over video games, cute furry aliens, and the weather. Yeah, you know, just the usual stuff–Raven’s loud but cute and affectionate, Jinx is constantly escaping the yard and getting muddy, I’ve discovered the wonders of YouTube, and we have unlimited internet ’cause we moved to Nairobi. Wait, did I just say that? WE MOVED TO NAIROBI. Oh, yes, just another boring little news flash. On another note… Seriously, though. A few days after I last wrote–ten, I think–we celebrated my birthday! Yay! We went to Trackmark, swam, saw stuff on TV, ate pie and homemade ice cream… It was pretty great. I even cut myself on one of my presents. -_- AND I got an awesome present from my awesome neighbor and she named her...

What’s Easter, Anyway?

By on Mar 27, 2016 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

‘Ello, peoples! I have returned–and don’t you just love the new format? 🙂 So, today’s Easter, apparently. I know this because at our lovely airport church today, my dad gave a sermon about Easter and all the goes along with it… Starting over again, and all that jazz, or something like that. He used my brother and a broken camping chair to further illustrate, as I recall. And yes, Dad, I would not trust that chair. I also know because I was just at an Easter lunch, which tasted delicious but was ruined, for me, by the conversation. How was it ruined? Something to do with grown-ups discussing the death of kittens. WHY!?! WHY MUST YOU EVEN TALK ABOUT SUCH THINGS!?! Sure, there are a lot of cats, but I, personally, think we should value life, all life, especially at this time of year. It was especially upsetting because I know those kittens, and knew their...

FINALLY FINI-I-I-I-I-I-I-ISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Olloho, people of da worlds!!!!!!! Why am I using so many exclamation points, you ask!?!!!!!!!!!!! WELL, I answer, BECAUSE. It. Is. Finally. FINI-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-ISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And no, my computer does not have asthma. It’s probably… out of breath… from yelling… So… MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! So, what is it I have finished? None other then that annoying, crazy book that is NOT a fan-fiction and I’m not actually sure what to call it! Sound good? Yeah, didn’t think so. But hey, on the plus side, it’s got aliens with color-changing horns and hair, and pink, and fiery swords of doom, and people yelling at each other! I don’t know about you, but that sounds at least a little fun to me! Besides that, there’s been Valentine’s Day and… wait for it… STAR WARS!!!!! Like, actual Star Wars! Completely-unlike-my-book...

What Should I Call This?

Salvete! And yes, I just looked up that random Latin phrase! No idea if it’s correct or not… Maybe I should have used a language I ACTUALLY KNOW. Anyway. It’s been… well, it’s been a while, as usual. As for the title, I am completely out of creativity. Oh well… Since my last post, we’ve celebrated Christmas (yay!), New Years (woo-hoo!), and started school again (bleh). Besides this, our neighbor’s cats have possibly been breeding again, our other neighbors have an infestation of some kind of venomous snake (what else would it be?), and my wonderful, adorable, sweet Jinx has attacked a random lady. NO, he is not rabid, he is just easily riled up. You see, people here are scared of dogs, and Jinx isn’t very well trained (yes, yes, I know, my fault). So he came over all like, “Hey, what are you doing in MY territory?” and...
