What's up with Miss March?

Nothing much actually, but let me tell you about it anyway because I sort of kind of promised you an update post and when I sort of kind of promise something I sort of kind of like to follow through on it.  If you get my drift.  And besides, I'm just sort of in the mood for writing right now -- even though I sort of kind of don't know what I want to write about, so yeah.  I guess we'll just sort of kind of have to wait and see how this post ends up.  (Does anyone else have a deep feeling of foreboding that this post is headed down the cuckoo lane?  Again. Whatever does happen to be up with Miss March, one thing is clear, she still hasn't mastered the art of writing a sensible, straight-forward, "no nonsense about it" post.  *shakes head wearily*  I honestly don't know what to do with her sometimes.)

 

But anyway, let's get down to business.

 

What's up with Miss March?

Dun, dun, dun, dun.

 

• She's tired.  (But you all knew that already.  Duh.)

• She has a cold, which came on quite suddenly two days ago and which has been making her poor little nose run and run and run.  (Miss March: Well at least one part of my body is getting some exercise, am I right?  Hahaha.)

• Her humor is very bad today.  (Yes, I am referring to the above mentioned "exercising nose" joke.  Seriously, that was just plain weird.  And I'd like to take this opportunity to say I'm Alyssa right now.  Not Miss March.  And that in fact Miss March has no connection to me whatsoever at this present moment.)  (I think I just disowned myself.  Can I do that?  Huh.  That's cool.)

 

Okay.  Switching gears here as I find I've somewhat stalled on this one.  That happens sometimes.   You start a post and somehow it just doesn't get chugging in the right direction, and the only thing for it is to slam on the breaks and see if you can't get this things straightened out. 

 

It is a true and honest fact that I was headed down the cuckoo lane when I began this post, but I think I unearthed a bit too much dust on that very dusty old lane and consequently befuddled myself.  Which is not altogether pleasant when one wishes to understand what one is talking about and yet realizes one doesn't comprehend oneself at all.  If you get my meaning.  (And if you do, please be so good as to pass it along to me because I'd like to get it, too.)  In other words, I am now making an attempt to get out of the fog and be sensible.  (Good luck with that, I say.)

...Recalculating...

 

(Okay, we're officially switching this over to a "lately I've been" post, just to keep things simple.)

 

Lately I've been...

 

~Reading~

 

Sadly, not very much.  I'm currently working my way through Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott, though I confess my progress is very slow indeed.  That is not the fault of the book however!  I've read it before and it is a very good book!  I'm just having a hard time concentrating on books in general these days.  Sad, but true.

 

~Watching~

 

• Boy Meets World--  I've been watching A LOT of this.  Like all summer long.  And even earlier than that.  We're into the seventh (and last) season now, and while I'm sure it will be sad to come to the end of it, at the same time it'll probably be a good thing because...well...I'm not one to obsess over things (coughcough) but I'll admit I have been spending quite a lot of time on this show.  (Okay, so I've probably watched every episode at least two or three times, but hey!  I had a legitimate reason for it!  Not all my siblings were able to watch it the first time around and someone had to keep them company while they caught up!) 

• Growing Pains-- (Apparently I'm really into watching sitcoms right now.)  This one started because my brother and I were watching Fireproof extras and were suddenly struck with the thought that, "Hey!  We never tried that show that Kirk Cameron starred in when he was  younger.  Let's do it."  And so we did.  :)   It's a fun show though not quite as interesting as Boy Meets World. 

• Random episodes of Full House because, why not?  :P 

• Newsies--  (The original film, not the Broadway version.)  I watched it for the first time last summer when I was visiting Natalie, and then, what do you know??  Natalie sent me my very own copy just this past week!!  I've watched it two times since and I think  I can safely say that it improves on further acquaintance.  :)

• Disney's Moana.  In general I'm not a huge fan of new animated films, so I dragged my feet about watching this, but in the end decided to be nice and not put up a fuss since my older sister had been wanting to re-watch it for quite awhile.  It was actually not half bad, and I admit I enjoyed it.  I don't see myself re-watching it a whole lot, but...I didn't hate it.  And that's something.

~Enjoying~

 

• Holding a newborn baby again!!  Yep.  Big news, guys!  I'm an auntie again!!  *grins*  And even bigger news...IT'S A GIRL!!!  We haven't had a baby girl in the family since I was born (and you know how long ago that was), so you can imagine our excitement.  And she's adorable, let me tell you!!  So cute and beautiful and precious. 

 

I'm watching a movie which explains my dead-pan expression,
but never mind about me, look at the baby!  Isn't she so sweet?

 

• My family.  'Cause seriously!  Who wouldn't enjoy them?  They're so much fun! 

 

~Learning~

 

• Sort of kind of how to use facebook.  Yes, I'm on facebook now, but only because I needed it in order to connect with fellow students and hopefully find someone to travel with when I go to school...oh wait!  You didn't know about that, did you?  Oopsie. 

 

Well, I guess that's all, folks.  Thanks for sticking around and taking the time to read this.  Sorry it's such a jumbled mess.  It's definitely not the polished sort of post I would have liked it to be, but I'm running short on time and really should be heading to bed. 

 

Oh! But about school.  Right.  I guess I should tell you about that, shouldn't I?  ;)  It's true.  I'm going to be attending Bible school this fall.  It's just a six month course (not even that actually as it only runs from September 21st to March 15th with a three week break in December for Christmas), but it's still longer than I've ever been away from home before so yeah...it should be interesting.  I'm excited about it, though I'm sure I'll probably freak out a bit as it gets closer.  After all this will be my first time flying out of the country.  (The school is in England,  by the way, which is extra exciting since I've always wanted to visit England.  :)) 

 

So yeah, that's that in a nutshell.  And now I really need to get to bed.  Sorry again for the disorganized state of this post.  Hopefully next time I'll have something more worthwhile to say.  (A far-fetched idea, I know, but one can still hope.) 

 

 

Goodnight all!
