I'm back! We have the computer back now, so I'm happy. :) However, I seem to have lost my ability to write interesting things. I'm not feeling very creative today. But I shall do my best!
Tonight is the Kiwi's Church Annual Barn Dance!! I'm looking forward to it very much. I hope it's even more fun than it was last year. Last year it was the first church event we'd gone to, so I really didn't know anyone that well at all. And I danced with someone I didn't even know, which was weird. (he's not weird, it's just that I didn't even know his name. And he's twice my age. :P) Anywho. I got a 'new' plaid shirt, a denim dress, and some brown boots, and I'll do my hair in two curly pony tails.BUT, the weather isn't cooperating very much. It's chilly and rainy and cloudy, and tonight the low will be around 45. Brrr!
Sunday afternoon will hopefully be warmer and drier. The volleyball group is going to Kiwi's Farm Market (boy, I like all these places named after me! lol ;P) to go through their corn mazes, instead of playing volleyball. I wish there was some way to do both, but we couldn't figure out how. I've never been in a corn maze. I've always wanted to do one, but we have never lived within a mile of a corn maze before! I wonder how easy it is to get lost in one? Hmmmm......That would be fun. I could cross off another item on my 2009 To-Do List. All in favour of getting as lost as possible, raise your cursor and say "I"!
Well, I'd love to spend more time with y'all today, but I have stuff to do to get ready: shower, cook (It's a potluck, too), change clothes, do my hair, admire myself in the mirror, polish up my line dancing skills......*ear-to-ear grin*
See y'all later!

Judi, This is for You!
My good friend, Judi the Impatient One, threatened me in her last comment and told me I couldn't read her blog until I updated. By the way, Judi, you commented that too late. I'd already read your latest but didn't have time to comment right away. ;-P
So what do I have to say now? Yesterday was our last Sunday at our church, and was filled with goodbyes. I hated that. It was potluck Sunday and we had our annual picnic at the park. It wasn't anything especially exciting. I was going to play a bit of baseball with a few other people, but instead had to spend the last hour and a half searching for Asdef after a large misunderstanding. And we didn't find him. Y'know, sometimes I wish each of us older three kids had a cell phone. In someways it would be much easier. Like in Walmart today, The boys were with Rapunzel in another part of the store while Mom and I went to get some things. Rapunzel had the cell phone with her (we use it as a home phone) because she was expecting a call. We couldn't find them where we left them, so Mom called her, found out where they were, and we went straight there. Wouldn't life be so much easier if we all had cell phones?
I said goodbye to lots of people at church and youth group. I said goodbye to my friend Dee and her sister, mom, cousin, and grandparents. I said goodbye to friends from our home school co-op group on Saturday night. And there are still people I have to say it to. I don't like saying it.
So, Judi, what else do you want to hear about? Here's some about moving.
We now have about four days until we load up the u-haul and six before we move into the new house. Ummmm....... we got more packing done today, including the clock in the living room, which ought to make it interesting. I'm going to occasionally ask Rapunzel what time it is just for the fun of seeing her look up at the empty space on the wall. I did that several times when her watch batteries died, and it annoyed her to death!
Today I was able to give my friend her birthday present... a month late. She wanted a Jeremy Camp cd, and I couldn't find the right one anywhere. Monday, I finally checked at walmart for it, and guess what! It was there, and on sale, too! And it had two of her favorite songs by him. How awesome is that? She was thrilled when she unwrapped it. "My first Christian cd by my favorite Christian artist from my best friend!" she said. So that was cool. And we sat in my room for a while and listened to it. I can't remember the name of the cd, but it had "Restored", "Take You Back" "Even When", and "Lay Down my Pride" and "This Man" on it.
I packed all my clothes into a suitcase, which I am now living out of. It was cool, I was checking all the pockets in the suitcase when I came across my dark blue polka-dotted scarf, which I thought I'd lost between Florida and here last year! I took it off in a hotel room, must have put it in the suitcase, and forgot where it was! So I wore it again today (Tuesday), after over a year of unuse (is 'unuse' a word?).
Ho hum. I think I should get off now. I started this post on Monday, almost had it done on Tuesday, and am posting it now. The reason for this is that Dad is working from home until Thursday this week, so he can work on the packing. So Judi, it's not exactly my fault I haven't posted in a whole three days.
I'll (try) to post again soon. No promises. We'll be finishing packing everything on Friday, loading up the U-haul on Saturday, taking Sunday off, driving up and unloading on Monday.
TTYL!

P.S. Watch the Cubs/Brewers game on Friday the twenty-sixth. We're going to make a sign (I'll tell you what it looks like after we've made it), and possibly get on tv.
