catching up

Well, it has been over a week since I last posted. This week has consisted of buying, staining and varnishing a new book case, which I am now in the process of filling. I'll actually have empty space in my bookcases. Amazing! This also required a rearrangement of my room because they lied on the measurements - well, possibly because I forgot to add in the measurements of the side posts. Oh well. Things still fit in the room. By the way, the color of the bookcase, ORANGE. Hoorah.

Today I awoke to my phone telling me I had a text message: Auntie Marki sent one saying that President Faust had passed away. That was saddening. He was/is a good man, who will be greatly missed. My sympathies to his wife and family. I vaguely something about him saying how he never kissed his wife to be until they were engaged, and how he regretted that. (Probably a CES Fireside.)

As I finally am going through and reading bloggies, I realized that I have been tagged to answer random facts about my life. As I do this, the only person, besides the tagee that I can tag would be Sarah of LambCurryandRice fame. So, there it is. Now, the listing:

TAG
anyone who reads this, who hasn't already done it.

Ah yes, I took the Jane Austen heroine quiz, and quickly was able to discern which line was for which heroine, and then wasn't sure if I was answering the questions truthfully, or if I was answering them by who I wanted to be, so I gave up. Ah well. They're all good.

Lastly, last night at enrichment, we made necklaces, and planner/notebook things. I shall use my notebook as a blog journal so I will never forget an exciting idea for you, my dear readers.

And now, a quote from my new blog idea journal thing: it takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. e.e. cummings
