My Life Recently

Hi!! How have you all been since my last post?! I am sorry to say that I did not receive enough stories to host a short story contest. *sighs* Sorry! I have also changed my blog background. I do a double-take every time I see it, but I love it. I won't be able to post very much this summer; we have a massive garden that needs tending (😒), and I am also being snared for lawn-mower duty more and more frequently- much against my will. But I'll try to post maybe twice a month (I know that's not a lot, but I have trouble thinking of posts. *sigh*) If you have any ideas for blog posts PLEASE, either email me with the "Email Me" form on the right sidebar, or comment on the latest post. If you would like me to add your blog to the blog list, also on the right sidebar, comment, or email, and I'll put it up there. Now I'll share a little bit of what I've been doing the past week or so. First, our library is still not open. But you can go on their website, and look up books, and if they have them, you can order them. Then they call you and set up a convenient to come and pick up your books. We did that, and yesterday we went to pick up our books. They had them on a table outside, in plastic bags with your name on them. Imagine our disappointment when we realised there was another bag that we forgot to get!!! We also went to a HUGE yard sale, where we found a bunch of books, and to a bookstore, where we got 37 Nancy Drew books for a great bargain, plus a bunch of classics. Then, we sat around and read all day long (Hey, we were rolling in books! It was a dream come true!). This morning we went to the park. That's where we've been having church lately. And then we went to Wendy's for lunch, and then came home to read some more! That's about the only thing that has happened lately that is of interest- getting FIFTY new books in one day. What have you been doing lately?  ~Caitlyn

Hello! Ellen has tagged me for the Liebster award!  Here are the rules for participating:

1. Thank the person who nominated you! Thank you Ellen😊

3. Answer the questions you were asked.

4. Nominate 5 bloggers.

5. Ask 6 new questions

6. Let your nominees know they were nominated.

Now for Ellen's questions:

What is one thing your dad does that makes you feel loved?

No matter how tired he is evenings, he always comes downstairs to tell me goodnight, and refill my water glass on my nightstand.

Do you consider yourself a morning person?

I got up at 6:00 this morning. That answer your question😉? In case it doesn't, then, yes, I consider myself a morning person.

Would you rather watch movies or TV shows (or neither)?

 Definitely movies. My favorite? The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair.

Can you describe to me one exciting moment of your life when you felt as if you were walking on air? 

My first Co-op program. I was in first grade, and only 6. I was so nervous and excited I could barely breathe. That was ages ago.....

If you had to change your name, what would you change it to, and why?

  I would change it to Margaret. Why? Because Meg was my favorite in Little Women and I always liked her name.

What is one book on your TBR that you absolutely can't WAIT to read?

Oh, um, that's a hard one. A lot of books, but the one I've been wanting to read the longest would be Winona's Pony Cart and Carney's House Party, by Maud Hart Lovelace.

That was really fun, Ellen! Now for my 6 questions:

What is your biggest fear?

Do want children when you grow up? If so, how many?

If you could pick one person, living or dead, to meet, who would that person be?

If you were stranded in the desert in the middle of summer, and you were allowed to choose three items, what would those things be?

What is the most revolting thing you have ever eaten?

If you were stranded in the wilderness with no weapons, would you rather meet a Komodo dragon, or a Grizzly Bear? (Don't know what Komodo dragon is? Go here:Komodo dragon - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › Komodo_dragon)
