FYI

Sometimes, I go through these phases where blogging just doesn't appeal to me. I think I'm going through one of those now. I just wanted to warn everyone in the blogosphere in case they thought that I had fled to Madagascar or something. Anyways, thank you for your time! Enjoy the rest of your day! :D

Hmmm....

Death is a strange concept. Your mind just shuts off. Your body goes limp. But your soul doesn't die, right? It lives on, right? I believe that there is a message that one must learn from life. Everyone must stumble across it somehow or another. It could take years to find it. One day, you just wake up with some epiphany. Some realization about life. My theory is that everyone is reincarnated over and over again until they find that special message that brought them to life in the first place. Butterfly for fifteen days, then a blade of grass for two, and then a human for 85 years.The possibilities are endless! And only when you meet the moment that keeps you going for eternities will your destiny be decided. Maybe everyone goes to heaven. There is no fiery place down there. Perhaps everyone goes through the burning flames of agony as a challenge of their endurance and strength, and they make it to heaven only after they have proved their worth. Really, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm kind of just going on and on and on and on without a single direct thought running through my mind. I simply had to get this off my chest. What do you think happens after death? There has to be more that just dirt and dust.

What A Day...

Yes, I am back. But only because I feel that I have abandoned my blog for far too long. Things have not necessarily gotten better. When I woke up earlier than I intended to, I had to get blood drawn at some lab place. They said it wouldn't hurt. Yeah. Right. Now I have this pink band around my arm to keep the pressure there. Then we went out to breakfast where things got better. I was starving, and I ended up eating to much and feeling dizzy to the point where one more bite would have caused a major upchuck. I asked for water, which they kindly gave to me in a to-go cup. I was so thirsty in the car, but I had to buckle my seat. We were at a stoplight to I set the drink between my knees, holding it securely. Of course, the car took off right when I let my knees unbuckle because I was just about to grab my cup, so my water overflowed onto my pretty dress that I hardly ever wear. Ugh. When I got home, I put my half-empty cup of water on the counter, next to my bag. Then, my bag illustrated the art of magic voodoo(as in, I have no clue how this happened) and then fell off the counter, bringing my cup of water with it. Down went everything, including the water and the contents of my bag onto the tiled floor. Ugh ugh ugh. I was about to get mentally violent with that cup of water. Of course, it happened when I was standing next to it, so my dress got soaked again, after it had finally dried off from the first time. I set the almost empty cup on the kitchen counter(not the one I set it on earlier) and wiped off all my damp belongings. When I checked on my cup on the counter, it must have had some invisible hole because it was leaking all over. I tossed it away, and wiped the counter off with a look of death carved into my face. I haven't smiled all day. Then, I headed to the mall, where things were supposed to get better. After getting out of the car and walked about ten seconds across the street, a tickle swept across my right leg. OF COURSE.... there was a HUGE black scary bug beetle looking thing hiking up my skin. It looked kind of like this: I rapidly shook it off and watched it dive into the concrete and blend in. I had had it at that point. I broke down. Right there in the parking lot. I didn't care. But I was fed up with fate. Everything is against me... I swear....

And ever since last night, I have had a KILLER toothache. It has its own pulse!!!!!!!! I even choked down a pill to get rid of the seething pain, and yet, it never kicked in. And, did you notice the random space in this post? Yeah, the window closed because my finger must have "slipped" or something. Thank goodness for the autosave or else I probably would have tossed this laptop out the window and watch it burn with some bizarre amusement.

I still have so much to do this weekend. Essay revising. Not fun. The only good thing to come would be one of my best friend's birthday get together tomorrow. AMS, YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE YOU READ THIS PART! YOU CAN SKIP THE REST TO AVOID DEPRESSION!

Some say that since things are so down, there is no where else but up. Like that Shania Twain song. But, whatever. Things have been way down for quite a while now. Over two weeks, and they don't appear to be getting better. When was the last time I wrote so much?

Welcome Welcome

Greetings, friends, for I have returned. I hope you haven't forgotten about me....

Hello 2009

I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE, FOR I WILL NOT BE ON MY BLOG FOR QUITE A WHILE. PERHAPS TWO WEEKS OR SO.



AT THE MOMENT, I'M ABOUT DROWNING IN YUCK. I AM SORRY THAT I WILL NOT BE A VERY GOOD BLOGGY FRIEND. I WILL OCCASIONALLY DROP BY AND LEAVE COMMENTS AND MAYBE SAY A QUICK 'HOLA BLOGOSPHERE', BUT DON'T EXPECT MUCH MORE THAN THAT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO STOP BY AND SAY HI EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE! I'D GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!

THANKS SO MUCH.

AND SO THE NEW YEAR BEGINS.

Learn To Appreciate

Warning: The following image is heart breaking. At least it was to me. So.. if you are in a good mood and you don't want to ruin it, you should probably leave. Now. But I am teaching a little lesson here today through the animal kingdom.

Here we go.... Again...... if you are happy, you should leave.

The mother has lost most of her ducklings down the sewer. Sad, isn't it?

My little lesson was that whenever you think that things are just down in the dumps for you, think of those who probably have it worse. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. When you ask for courage, you are not simply given it. You are given a situation where you must find courage to overcome it. Stop thinking so hard.

Happy New Year's Eve!

Twenty-four hours from now, it will be 2009! I can hardly believe how fast the year came and left! I remember when it was just the beginning of 2008 and I kept thinking it was 2007! Ha! That happens every year, though.

Anyone have any interesting memories to share and reflect upon?

enjoy the picture above above above of a flower i took! I have always thought it looks like clay!

Photos Part 1 : Banana Nut Bread

I know I promised pictures, or at least I think I promised pictures. I might just be going crazy. Anyways, here they are.... with commentary. from moi. I'm going to post them in several different parts because all together, the post would be never ending. Here we go...

This is my adventure with banana nut bread

Bananas before the mashing....

Chocolate chips and walnut pieces!

Here are bananas in mid-mash.....

Eggs and flower before being mixed....

That would be all for today. Thanks for joining! Have a fabulous day!

Yay! Hoorah!! Woopie!! Christmas!!!

The time for giving and receiving and rejoicing!

Best holidays wishes to all!

Help?

My cough is getting very... not dry. If you catch my drift....

If not, lucky you.

Christmas is only in a couple of days, soon followed by New Year's! I don't want to be sick!

I have been sucking on throat lozenges, getting sleep, drinking soup, and enjoying tea. Anybody know any secret and amazing remedies to help me feel better? I would greatly appreciate it!!

Yesterday I was hardly coughing, but now I have to cough every time I speak!

In other news, my crocheting is going along nicely. I am half way done with a rainbow skinny boa.

Here is are a couple of pretty pictures I took of some flowers. Up close and personal...

Today's poll:

Do you prefer chocolate chip cookies or chocolate brownies WITH nuts?

Home Sweet Home

On December 21, 2007, my family moved into our very first house. I was not able to post yesterday, so I am making up for it today. We have lived in our home for 363 days(counting today)!!! Yay!

Time really flies by, right?

This time last year, literally right down to the exact date, I was feeling sick. Once again, the common cold has come to visit me. I'm not completely sick, though. My throat hurts, and a cough escapes every once in a while. Don't worry, though! I am working on staying healthy! I absolutely must! Christmas is so soon, and I am going ice skating with friends next week!!! Who wants to be sick during winter break?

Best holidays wishes to all!

Merry Christmas!
Happy Hanukkah!
Crazy Kwanzaa!
And a wonderful New Year!




P.S. Eliella is my new vampy name! Special thanks to <.:OeCd:.>

Crochet

Today we went over to my aunt's house. She had her birthday recently, and well, of course, Christmas is coming up soon! Yay! Hoorah! Yip Yip Yippie!!!!

She taught me how to crochet!!

How cool is that?

So on the way home, I had already finished crocheting a bracelet. My aunt had given me two hats and a boa to match for the holidays. I love being able to make my own accessories and to accessorize with what I have made! I will soon get pictures up of my latest creations.

Any exciting weekend stories out there to share?

Happy Holidays from a happy Saturday!

Complaints?

I guess I shouldn't complain. As said by Delaney in the previous post, some places are SNOWING! Wowzies! Can't even imagine how cold it would be then! Probably to the point that you couldn't feel anything at all, so the cold wouldn't even matter!

I have family in the Philippines.

My cousin was in a supermarket, store, whatever, when a bomb went off across the street. They are not holding the annual Christmas masses that are very special and should have started on the 16th. Who are we to complain that it is a little cold? Some have already died...

Winter

It certainly feels like winter! Even though it is not official, yet! But, as you may or may not know, I HATE the cold weather. Really. I do. I've been to Alaska during the summer and I just about went mad. But I love my family there, so they made it fun for me. :)

The weather where I am is freezing! Maybe not to some of you, but to me. It is raining, icy cold, and the wind is stinging my cheeks! It is so cold it feels like you are slowly burning to death! It is horrible! I am probably exaggerating here, but I simply cannot stand this. I have on six layers right now and three pairs of socks and a scarf and a hat and my hood on. I sleep with two pairs of pants on!

Anyone else as cold as I am?

I guess that it really is starting to feel like Christmas.

Holiday Spirit

I'm beginning to feel holiday-ish. Our whole house is nciely decorated. What about anybody else?

If you are reading this, Julie, than it is all your fault.

lol.

inside joke. :P

Such A Stick Of Scrumptious Selery

I am aware that I spelled celery wrong in the title. I thought it would be a bit off to spell it with a 'c' and then have the rest of them with s's!

Anyways, something odd happened to me this evening.

I made myself some hot chocolate. The weather is really getting me down. I HATE the cold, and it has officially arrived. Back to my hot chocolate. I used creamy milk with milk chocolate mix, mini marshmallows, one HUGE marshmallow, chocolate shavings, chocolate syrup, and oreo crumbles. Pretty much diabetes in a mug*. I sat down at the dining table and dipped my mega spoon into the hot chocolate. I tasted the chocolate, and I was extremely surprised when it tasted strangely like celery! Honestly! It tasted strongly like celery! I don't know! Am I getting sick or something? Anyone else heard of something like that, so I'm not too concerned?

It was completely unexpected! Like that time my leg vibrated! But that is a different story....

Oh yeah, we got a live Christmas today. It has an utterly wonderful and fresh fragrance!


*please don't be offended by this diabetes remark. I'm just trying to pull the point across that it was a huge mug of unhealthy palooza.

Answer:

The Answer to yesterday's riddle was


*drum roll*


HUMP DAY

Can You Believe It?

Can you guess what tomorrow is?

Huh?

NO HINTS!!

Wicked

I am so excited! I am going to see Wicked on Sunday!!!! Wooohooootie!!!!!

Two of my best friends and I(mind you, I have about a million and a half best friends. Well, not really, but you get the point, right? I sure hope so....) are going to see the most amazing thing performed on stage!!! Twilight was in a theater, so they are completely different.

Tickets! Yay! Go tickets! They are our lovely road to those fabulous seats in that marvelous theater that will present to us a fantastic musical! KNOWN AS WICKED!!!

Has anyone out there ever seen or heard(surely you have?) of it? Anyone have any experiences they would like to share with our happy circle here at My World Through Brown Eyes?

Love,

Ellie :)

Also, aren't you so grateful for Friday? I don't think I could have handled another weekday!

Happy weekend to you all!

One more thing, anyone know any cool emoticans for Blogger? Like how to make a real smiley besides :) or a heart besides <3>

Love Love,
