Stressed OUT!

On wensday, I started to paint my room. bad idea. I decided early on to paint the base a semi-gloss Off White, and the edges a vinyl Beige. My room is abt 8ftX9ft(basically a huge walk-in closet or a storage room). I painted all of the walls in a very short time, which I was very proud of. I thought that this would be very easy, and I should have it done by the end of the day. nope. The “edges” in my room consist of a basic 2in. high decorative edging all of the way around it, with a thin border around the top. Now, If I had nothing in the room, had a ladder, and a reasonable temperature and humidity, I would have gotten it done in no time whatsoever. but I had a bed, chest-of-drawers, a computer desk w/computer, a small dresser-thing, all crowded under a loft bed. It was very hard to do it, to say the least. I had to sleep in the rec room overnight(not the most comfortable couch to sleep on in the world), and finish it “first thing” the next morning. I just finished(2330[11:30]). And I still do not have the chest-of-drawers and various objects in my room, I will do that tomorrow. I managed to rearrange my room so that I have a lot more space in it. Tomorrow, I will mow a lawn, finish my room, and leave for a week-end long church activity.

wow.

Edwards Update

I have not found even a possibility of a job yet, I will have to start tying harder. I have been looking at al.com/jobs, but have not found any job that might accept a fourteen year-old. If you know of one in the Huntsville area, please let me know. A bunch of the people in our family that do not work this weekend are going to one pf our church’s annual activities, Reformation Now. It is a weekend-long hang-out among all of the teenagers in our church, and their friends. Their is also teaching by a pastor on Saturday, and maybe Sunday. The boys split up to one house, and the girls to another.It is promising to be a fun-filled weekend. I might paint my room tomorrow, some of the girls are painting their room then, too. I was not able to do It last Saturday, because we were so busy. The other day, our microwave started acting up, and deactivating Mom’s implants. We couldn’t figure out what was happening for a long time, but we eventually did, and unplugged it.
Thank God for all of the rain that has come/is coming!!!!

I changed the template, the other one was annoying to the eyes, and was hard to read. oh, and the picture up there is our new church-in-progress. Let me know how you like the new blog.

Long time, no blog.

Sorry I have not written in so long. we, or, at least, I Have been quite busy during summer break. The biggest thing I have done since my last post is have two garage sales. I(me, not the family) had them last Friday and Saturday. On Friday, we made a whopping $50. On Saturday, however, there were at least three different garage sales on the way to mine, so almost no one came. we made about $15 on Saturday. I donated most of the money to our church building fund. The rest ($25) I used to pay for a bible conference I am going to in August in Tennessee. Yesterday, I cleaned my room up. That is not as simple as it sounds. I had two overflowing baskets of dirty clothes( I had not washed clothes in two or three weeks. I am today), a full trash bag of papers lying around the room, about a clothes basket full of stuff that needed to go out, and a ton of stuff just sitting everywhere. and my room is about 8X7 ft big. It was probably origionally meant as a walk-in closet or storage space. now it is spotless. I will be painting it on Saturday. the walls will be “Classic White,” and the edges will be a custom, satin, beige. I found both of them in the garage from the people who lived here before us.
I have watched all of the latest movies, except for the new Fantastic Four. As soon as I see that, I will write a review of all of the new movies, including Pirates 3, Shrek 3, Spiderman 3, and Fantastic Four 2. I will say which is my favorite, and why.
Mom’s implants are working perfectly, ecxept that certain scanners turn them off, and her jerking starts again. she cannot go into Walmart, CVS, or Walgreens, so far. we will probably find some more later. also, the wireless device we use for Irina to hear us during bible study, interferes with it.
Two days ago, I got iTunes. I have been looking for an alternative to Walmart Music Downloads, and it seems like the best alternative. I have already bought a few songs, and I amazed at the superior sound quality of them. And they are only a few cents more than Walmart’s. They even have an option for some songs, to buy a super-quality version, for a little more money. I also found that you can download TV Episodes(for example, Star Trek), for only $2 each.
Oh, speaking of Star Trek, Dad bought the 4th season of DS9, with his Father’s day Amazon.com gift certificate. he also bought a Zen mp3 player, and a study bible. the gift certificate was $125. Now we have every season of both TNG, and DS9, (14 seasons total), and three TNG movies. ok, i’ll shut up, now

whew!

I am so glad to be home! I just spent the last 6 days away from home. The first three were spent at my youth pastor’s house, because I needed a place to stay while Mom and Dad were in Dallas. In case I haven’t already told you this, Dad had a training seminar for his work, in Dallas, TX. Mom went along for the ride, since she got to spend three nights at a very expensive hotel. Well, to get back to the original subject, the other three days were spent at some good friends of the family, the McFaddens (hi!). I just went there for fun. I had a blast there. but I am sure glad to be home. oh, wait… that means I have chores… uh… I gotta go.
