Thanksgiving

That time of year has come around again, and there is still much to be thankful for-even with people predicting the end of our(and maybe thus the world's) economy. This year our family will have company over on Saturday instead,with people I don't really like, so right now I will tell any readers of my blog what I am thankful for:

1. A place to live-a good place at that
2. An education (that is still continuing)
   
3. Food,drink,the air we breathe in
4. That we have organically grown food available
5. That we, at least, realized the problem of global warming and know how bad it is
6. A computer(or else I wouldn't be writing this right now)
7. Music
8. For realizing that money and the economy are not the only things that are important
9. That we've elected a new president
10. That we have new ways of treating diseases
11. Crafts
    
12. My family and friends
13. That we live in a place that doesn't have extreme weather
14. The wonderful blog-sphere with the many awesome bloggers and readers!

...and many more, too many to list! Have a great Thanksgiving!

Product Review:Yes to Carrots C Me Smile Lip Butter

...Phew, what a long name!

Anyway, Yes to Carrots seems like a good brand. I saw it in Longs Drugs one day, and decided to do some research. C me smile Lip Butter is great, one of the best lip balms I've tried. With ingredients like coconut oil and Shea butter, it is nourishing to chapped skin, without being too heavy-perfect for winter. The flavors are awesome too. Pictured at right, I am currently using Berry. Plus, your conscience will approve, too. Made with 95% organic ingredients and USDA approved, you will know that what you are putting on your lips isn't petroleum or mineral oil gunk. Only $3.69, this is nice stocking stuffer to pair with other gifts. Recommended!

Veggies

I have something new...bear with me, a product rant is coming up!

...

Not much these weeks,I'm sorry! Also one of our computers broke down, and our camera is malfunctioning. Also, I'm thinking of getting a mp3 player or an iPod, any thoughts?

Well, today sucks.

Today in the P.E. locker room I lost one of my glasses' lens. After pleading to my teacher and spending almost half the period searching with my friend Pikachu*(on hands and knees) we finally concluded defeat and I spent the rest of the day attempting not to run into anybody from lack of depth perception.
On that bright note, my mom found a job that paid well after being laid off her old job 3 months ago. The weird thing is, every time me or my sister lose something, our parents gain something. Like the time when she(my little sister) lost a tooth, and my dad got a $5oo bonus. Talk about odd.

Projects, October 4th

Projects I have to get done today or next week!

1. Knit second glove. I'll post pictures when I'm done.
2. Paint the picture I'm working on.
3. Work on list of needs this winter(I'll explain later)
4. ?

On to other news... Yesterday night it rained! The first rain in 7 months! Now the air smells fresh again, and I'm opening the windows... even if it is freezing outside.

Disappointment

Well, the only reason I'm here today is because my friend probably can't make it today to go to the whats-its-name-science-museum. Hence why I'm still at home. Oh well, life is like that sometimes. Like, you just got your new boots and are wearing them in public, and it starts raining. Or, if your history test is next period, you forgot to study, and you left your study sheet at home. Ask me how I know the last one. On another note, I've neglected my crafting, including knitting, sewing(the sewing machine is collecting dust), and soap. I'm sorry! It's just that I don't feel right, like i can't make up my mind, and our camera sucks, so I would have nothing to show. I'm sorry for boring you with this rant. >_<
Have a nice day!

A Blog, Finally

So, I've finally started a blog(took me long enough,*nye!). Explanation: this blog is mostly to release my thoughts, rants, and ramblings. In short, it's here so I don't go insane . AS a few of you know, I am an ambitious, unusual person, who likes to craft, read, draw, write, and ponder upon life as it is, could be, or might be. However, my main hobby is crafting! As in:

• sewing!
• knitting
  
• paper crafts
• art-sy stuff
• My current obsession, soap!

You might call me Firefly, and I live on this wonderful, green, soon-to-be-destroyed-if-people-don't-take-action(hint,hint), planet called Earth. I'll usually post on topics like soap, product reviews, interesting facts/news, and information about my soon-to-be company! And that's all I'm going to say for now. :)
