October Highlights

     Have you ever thought about how fast time passes? 'Cause it really passes fast! It was just summer, and now we are going to be seeing Christmas stuff everywhere. Prematurely, I know, but that's how ahead-of-time people these days start celebrating holidays. Last Christmas, (I think it was Christmas Eve?) I was at Dollar General, and there was ALREADY valentines day things out! Like, seriously! :P

   OK, OK, back to business. To the highlights of October. :)


HAPPENINGS OF OCTOBER|| 

Weeellllll... er, what did we do? *looks back on my blog posts, since they're kind of like a public diary* OK.

\\ I started my photography site. I know you know that, if you're on of my "regular readers", but it happened this month, so I might as well say it. ;)

\\ Me and my sister re-did our room. (yep, you know that too! :P)

\\ I went garage saling and found lots of cool stuff! (and that...)

\\ We HAD a garge sale... which didn't turn out super great.

\\ I GOT MY PERMIT!! :D As you know. And I've been driving. I learned that driving is scary. :P Anyhow, in October, I got 2 hours and 40 minutes of driving time logged. That's a start. ;)

\\ I finished blogging about my trip to the West Coast! :)

\\ Our home-school group co-op classes ended. It was fun. :) 

\\ I went to a youth event put on by people from our home-school group. They called it "redneck Olympics", and we had to do things such as pounding a nail into a stump, shooting cans, and a watermelon eating contest. I was basically forced to do the watermelon eating contest (since only one person on my team wanted to do it, and there had to be two), and I DID NOT want to do it! Didn't want to get messy, didn't want to look like a pig. :P So I took little bites and ate off the top peak. Pathetic, but I didn't even want to do the thing. ;P
  Anyhow, I DID have fun at that event. After there was a campfire where we roasted marshmallows and hot-dogs, and then we played a game in the dark. My favorite part was probably when I actually got to talk to people. :) That's better than games.

\\ Didn't end up getting a harvest party done. :\ We could still do something, at least a fall get-together, but I don't know if we will. We just don't know how to get stuff planned! Maybe I'll plan a Christmas party instead... however far-off that is. Might as well start planning now, so it'll actually happen! ;)


READ IN OCTOBER||

  Wow, I actually read a lot this month (for me)! Well, two of these are books I started before, but finished this month. ;)

Sweet Dreams by Robin Jones Gunn

    I bought this because it was the next book I needed... and it was pretty cheap, too. :) So now I think I only have one more book to read in The Christy Miller series! :)

The Captive Maiden by Melanie Dickerson

    Yea, I was reading this in September... but I finished it this month. Twas good! :)

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis

   One of my classes in co-op (just a "fun" one) was going to be having trivia questions of this book, so I started reading it. I've watched the movies, but of the books, I had only read The Horse and His Boy. What better time to start finishing the series? :) I enjoyed this one.

The River by Beverly Lewis

    I started this WAY back when I was still on vacation. :P But it wasn't that interesting, so I put it aside for other books. I just recently picked it back up and finished it. All-in-all, it was an enjoyable read. :)

WATCHED IN OCTOBER||

God's Not Dead 2

    This was a good movie. :) I think I might have liked the first one better, though. 

   I also watched some of these movies called Revelation Road. They're about the end times, and I don't really recommend them. I watched maybe most of the second one, and was watching the third- and that's when I stopped, because there was some disturbing things. Not my type of movie. They're not exactly bad. They're just not what I like to watch, and the disturbing part seemed unnecessarily dramatized.

October Baby

  I re-watched this with my sister, who had never watched it. I really like it. :) For those of you who haven't seen it, it's a good movie. It's about a girl who's mom tried to abort her, and she finally finds out years later from her adopted parents. It's an inspirational movie, both funny and touching. :) Oh, and there's a smidgen of romance, which I found sweet. ;)

It's a Wonderful Life

   I also re-watched this, just last night, with my 14 and 9 year-old sisters. :) My brother watched some of it, but he must've thought it was kind of boring (or a combination of that and not liking the romance. ;P) But he did laugh at some parts, I think. The end (where he's "rejoicing" over his cut and crashed car and all) is so funny! ;P
