Joygurl Excerpts

(…something to keep my blog methodical, and more congruous…)

Well, this is the second Excerpts post. I’ve added a few more things to it. Enjoy.

An Inside Look

(…a peek into my very ordinary and sometimes exciting life…)

Hello, between chattering teeth, from freeze-your-toes,-nose,-and-everything-else-off WI where the warmest the thermometer says is –5 F, and the wind-chill is –20 F to –30 F. Brrrr! It’s cold. This morning we woke up to no water. The pipes froze. :( :P. But now the problem is fixed and I’m counting running water in my blessings list. : D I hope spring comes early. It probably won’t but I’m still hoping it will. :)

So all I’m trying to do right now is to get warm and stay warm ;). Plus keep up with Tabby’s quirks and sayings. Lately she’s been trying to act grown up and it’s been quite amusing to watch her behavior.

A few days ago she told me she was going to act like a 19-year old, so later on that night (when she was supposed to be in bed sleeping) I found her on the computer in the livingroom.
"Aren’t you supposed to be in bed?" I asked.

"I’m looking something up Hannah." She rolls her eyes at her "childish" sister and keeps clicking away.

I guess that’s what she thinks a 19-year old does at night. :). Where does she get her ideas?!

Inspirational
(…quotes, bible verses, things that have inspired me…)

Psalm 103:1-5,22b
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Who satisfieth they mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

Horsing Around
(…anything to do with horses…)

The other day I went out into the horse pen and started brushing Amigo. Tinker, who was about thirty feet away, saw what I was doing so he went over to the dirtiest spot in the pasture, and rolled, and rolled, and rolled! Then he came over and waited patiently for me to work on him. Grrrr!!! Guess he wanted to make sure he got enough attention that day. :P :)

Around the Web
(…other bloggers, websites, ect…)
This family just experienced a horrific accident but they were reminded of the mercifulness of God when no one was critically hurt or killed. Go check it out.

Laughs
(…jokes or facetious scenes that I have heard, read, or done…)

I was acting really blonde the other day. This is one of the things I did.

I was trying to get my school done, and my pencil was getting dull (I like to keep my pencils needlepoint sharp all the time so I sharpen it quite often). So I got out my sharpener, and to keep my desk from getting full of shavings, I squeezed between Brittney and her desk to reach the garbage bin (to catch the little slivers of wood), and sharpened my pencil. That’s done so I migrated back to my desk; while putting the sharpener away, I noticed that it already had a little garbage container attached to it.

I started laughing at how dumb it was to get under a desk and hold a pencil and sharpener over the garbage can when there was nothing for it to catch. And of course Britt wanted to know what was so funny, now she won’t let me forget it. : - P
