I actually think I get colder inside than outside. My dad is <i>very </i>hard to convince to turn on the heat. We will sometimes be in mid-November before he reluctantly gives in! My hands have been very cold lately. Anybody else? All of my gloves are the kid size, which go halfway up my palm. I didn't wear gloves much last year, so I am newly aware of my glove problem. My feet never seem to warm up, either. At school, the heat is turned on already and I get rid of my jacket as soon as I walk in the door. But at home, I race up the stairs, grab a sweatshirt (or two) and throw on my coziest sweatpants, plus a pair of lovely knee socks and slippers. I just can't seem to warm up! My dad looks at me like I'm crazy every time I ask him to turn the heat on. He'll say "You're <i>cold</i>?!", and sarcastically say "It's only sixty-three degrees in here!!" Which it is, by the way. I just checked. Am I the only one who <i>can't warm up!!!</i> :)Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06383025787783940886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004413458374082174.post-32893941261563507842012-10-03T15:26:00.003-05:002012-10-03T15:26:37.701-05:00Summer in a Nutshell Pt. 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There will be several parts to this post, summer was pretty eventful-ish. Let's start out with the painting at church. Me, several of my friends from church and their moms, and my mom painted a Sunday School room to resemble a backyard. We've certainly come a long way!!!</div>

Ignite Junior High youth group about to drive for 20 hours to Redcloud! (yay....) As many of you heard, we experienced some car troubles on the way there... which resulted in staying a night in a sketchy motel, food poisoning, a rather relaxing stay at a lake, waiting for 45 minutes on the side of the road, and waiting for 2 hours in a Walmart parking lot. But it was a GREAT trip!!!! :)</div>

They have a farm, and what comes with a farm package? Cats! Whenever her grandparents find a litter of kittens without a mama, they ship them over to Hanna's house for her care until they're ready to go roam the farm. Hanna is currently taking care of a 6-week-old (guesstimate) kitten named Peanut Butter. Hanna's out of town, so she asked me to take care of Peanut Butter until she gets back. Of <i>course</i>, I said yes!!! My mom just picked her up this morning. BUT! Don't be fooled by her adorable little body and cute eyes. She attacks me!!! When I first picked her up, she started scratching me and biting my hands and fingers. She even used my neck as a clawing pole! OUCH! When I let her out in my room, as SOON as I put her down, she started attacking my feet! You should see all of the scratches on my hands and feet, plus a band-aid on my ankle. Grrrr........ Day 1 of life with Peanut Butter.Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06383025787783940886noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004413458374082174.post-11342242492942883092012-07-01T16:07:00.003-05:002012-07-01T16:07:55.840-05:00Camp Redcloud!!!!!Oh. My. Goodness. I just had one of the greatest experiences of a lifetime! Yesterday I got back from Camp Redcloud in Colorado with my youth group. It was SO incredible! We did things like <i>real</i> mountain biking, high ropes, archery, and hiking. And by hiking, I mean climbing a 14,000 ft. mountain. Man, I wish I had pictures, but all I had for the week were three disposable cameras that are currently being developed. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The climb was steeeeeeeep. I got so tired, as did the rest of the group. About 15 minutes before we got to the top, a huge storm rolled in, so we all had to go back down. Only the people close enough to the front got to see the top, including me! It was the most breath-taking thing I had ever seen in my whole life. At the top, you could see many, many more mountains and the gray streaks of rain coming down far away from the clouds. I only got to stay up there for about a minute, though. It was really slippery the rest of the way down! The whole thing took about 6 hours, if I remember correctly. Is that right, Sammie?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There was a stream/river throughout the whole camp. One day we were wading in it (it was COLD - it was literally melted ice!) and I lost my flip flop in the current :) I brought the other one home; a counselor and I were thinking about making a little shrine in my room! (Yes, Rob, it was Pac-man...) Whenever we went by a body of water, everybody would say "Look out for Janie's shoe!!!".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As many of you have heard, we had quite a few car troubles during the 20 hours there and 20 hours back. On the way there, the church that we were traveling with, Cornerstone, had their whole engine blow up!!! We were all stranded at a little camp site with a nice lake and beach - it was actually pretty fun, besides the fact that we were there for about 4 hours. We (Grandview) went on w/o them and they got there a day late in a rental van. Also on the way there, our van blew a tire, so we had to wait on the side of the road for about 45 minutes! On the way back, our van had to change 2 tires out, and we were stuck in a Walmart parking lot for about 1 1/2 hours!!!! But there's one more thing. Tony, the other church's youth pastor, was able to lead the mechanic working on their van to Christ!!!!!!!! Hallelujah! For those of you who went to my play, the Lord works in mysterious ways. :)</div>

I had the greatest time of my life at Redcloud. Can't wait to go back next year!!!</div>Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06383025787783940886noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004413458374082174.post-72427718906516636542012-06-18T21:13:00.001-05:002012-06-18T21:13:18.648-05:00Book ReccomendationsI just thought that today I would share some books that are <i>very</i> good. If I can, I'll try to remember some of the author's names...<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The Bronze Bow - Elizabeth George Speare</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The Wedding Planner's Daughter Series - Colleen Murtagh Paramore</span><br />
Any book by Gloria Whelan<br />
The Dear America Series<br />
The Hunger Games Series - Suzanne Collins<br />
<br />
Now, these are just a few, and if you don't know I LOVE to read! Out of these, I have to say my favorite is The Bronze Bow. It's about a teenage boy in Bible times who hates the Romans because they killed his parents. He starts seeing Jesus and is very confused about whether to keep hating the Romans or to forgive them. I love it SO much, and have read it at least 5 times!<br />

this picture brings back memories... painful memories!</div>

Peter had started to get really tired and he kept begging me for a piggy-back ride. So I finally said yes, and I carried him for about 10 minutes. He kept choking me to death hanging on my neck, so I told him to hang on to my shoulders. I had forgotten one little thing - I had gotten a sunburn on my shoulders the day before... ouch!</div>

My mom disappeared for about 20 minutes after the race, and she showed up with a few donuts in hand from the "Survivor's Village". Lucky... :) The Post-race activities were very exciting. There was apples and bananas, water, (melted) freezer pops, and free sashes! There were a few bands playing as well.</div>

She said, "Janie, you really need to rephrase your last post. You said we're going camping with dad's baby..." So <i>now</i> when I say that we're going camping with my dad's baby, I mean the camper. :)Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06383025787783940886noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004413458374082174.post-36969789171728705182012-05-18T09:20:00.002-05:002012-05-18T09:20:47.511-05:00Summer!!!!!I find it ironic that I'm posting about summer at school. Yes, I'm posting during free period in the computer lab. :) Go figure!!! Anyway, I can't wait until school get's out! Moline gets out on Wednesday. YAY!! Our family is taking a camping trip the day we get out at Scott County Park. We'll stay there for the rest of the week with my dad's baby. If you didn't already know this, my parents just recently got a pop-up camper. It's sitting in our driveway right now! The boys have had almost every single meal for the past few weeks at the little table in the camper. Ha, ha! Anyway, we've been having a great time with it. Also, we just got a brand new trampoline last week. So long, swing set!!! We all love it! So, just thought I'd update you on our summer plans, at school. :) Have a great few more days of non-summer!!!<br />

Love you!!!!!Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06383025787783940886noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004413458374082174.post-3494691504205619962012-04-07T17:45:00.000-05:002012-04-07T17:45:23.731-05:00Whoops!!!Well, sorry it's been so long. I've had a few requests for a new post, so here goes.<br />
<br />
Spring break started on... ummmm...... Monday (not counting the weekend) and I go back to school on Tuesday. Sigh. I was sick Monday-Wednesday of the week that Easter break started, so I've kinda been overwhelmed with all of the makeup work. I finished most of it, but now I have like 5 ginormous projects to work on. Yikes.<br />
<br />
Other than that, it's been a great spring break. On Monday, we drove up to Dubuque to the Mississippi River museum. It's a really fun place - really family friendly. The boys had a blast! It had a lot of fish (it was part aquarium). There was a catfish that was at least as big as me!!! And the little man that some of you have come to know was fairly quiet throughout the whole trip. :) We took a ton of pictures that hopefully will be uploaded soon!<br />
<br />
Last night, Grandview had their first Good Friday service. Really laid-back, a few songs, some scripture. It was really nice.<br />
<br />
Easter!!!!! It came so fast, didn't it? Haha, I just thought of this morning when my mom was thinking about ideas for a fun shape for the cake to bring to my grandma's house tomorrow. My dad suggested the tombstone that the angel rolled away. :) Speaking of which, I really enjoyed hearing my pastor read the Easter story. I love really understanding it more each year. Of how Jesus Christ was crucified to save us from our sins. How he rose again on Easter Sunday. I think about how I sometimes forget the meanings of holidays like Easter and Christmas. All of the worldly things that distract us from what we are truly celebrating. As a very childish person, (ha ha) I try to get better at that each year. So with that being said,<br />
<br />
<b><i>HAVE A HAPPY EASTER, EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!</i></b>Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06383025787783940886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004413458374082174.post-19803971764099631142012-02-26T16:02:00.000-06:002012-02-26T16:02:52.933-06:00Please Come!Play practice has come a long way! I can't believe the play is this Friday! I invite you all to come, by the way. It's on Friday at 7 p.m. (I think...) at Wilson Middle School in Moline. $5 per ticket!!! I'm so excited! And nervous, of course, but we won't go there at this point.... :)Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06383025787783940886noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004413458374082174.post-27519849448632052762012-02-01T12:14:00.000-06:002012-02-01T12:14:47.695-06:00Um.... Random!Today as we were eating lunch (early out in school) I heard this conversation:<br />
<br />
Joe: Mom, Sam backwashed into his Kool-Aid!!!<br />
Sam: No, I didn't!<br />
Peter: He brainwashed it.<br />
<br />
Ah, the days in a life of a 7-year-old 2nd grader.Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06383025787783940886noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004413458374082174.post-15853098889369272062012-01-30T18:13:00.000-06:002012-01-30T18:13:11.360-06:00Play PracticeIf you didn't already know this, I was accepted into the school play in early January. The play is called: Murder Can Be Habit Forming. I know, sounds pleasant, right? Oh, by the way, the "habit" part comes from the many roles of nuns in the play. The story begins with a bus full of people who get lost in a snowstorm and end up at this nuns' convent. About an hour before they get there, a waitress, Mary, at a diner was murdered. The "Mary Murderer" had been strangling women named Mary. So when the people from the bus gets there, everyone suspects the murderer is one of them, since they had just come from the diner. Also, almost all of the women on the bus just happen to be named Mary, and all of the nuns are Mary's too! So it's a comedy/mystery, and I really enjoy the practices (every day after school until 5:30 - yikes!). I play a woman on the bus named Mary Adams (ha, ha) and at the end of the play, when we find the bad guy, I get to whack him on the head with a sword :). My character is actually an under-cover policewoman, on the case of the Mary Murderer. My real name is Hallie Yarboro. So I just thought I would post about something my mind has been on lately, since I haven't posted in a while. I've been SUPER tired, but I really enjoy it!!!Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06383025787783940886noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004413458374082174.post-60489160018050050602012-01-21T12:59:00.000-06:002012-01-21T12:59:38.481-06:00Saturday MorningsFirst of all, I will never have one of those super long posts that describe every little detail of my day. I mean, I could totally talk you to death, but typing is a whole other ball game. Thus, my last few posts have been rather short. Anyway, this morning (Saturday) was spent cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, oh - and wrestling. As soon as it started I quickly grabbed the family camera and recorded about five very disturbing videos, of which I will post as soon as we remember to load them onto the computer.<br />
<br />
That's all I have to say about that.Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06383025787783940886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004413458374082174.post-35775635753853210972012-01-12T19:34:00.000-06:002012-01-12T19:34:36.046-06:00Another Short PostSorry about the short-ness of all of my posts, but there's nothing really worth blogging about. Anyway, my dad drives me to school almost every day. There's a church that we drive by with one of those sign thingies, I don't know what they're called. (I'm surprised they didn't underline "thingies" in red, by the way) So we drove past it and all of a sudden my dad yells "WHAT?!?!?!" I look at him in surprise and by now he's laughing his head off. He told me that the church sign had said something about a Superbowl party. BUT - "Superbowl" was spelled "Superbowel"!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Sounds like fun, who wants to go with me to <i>that</i> party? Anyway, it was hilarious. Here are some random things that have been going on lately that aren't worthy of a whole post:<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>- I made the school play</div><div>- quarter 3 has begun, as has semester 2</div><div>- math (ew)</div><div>(what?! they underlined "ew" in red but they didn't underline "thingie"?! seriously, people....)</div><div>- SNOW!!!!!!! maybe I will have to blog about that....</div><div>- Mom attempting to be Peach in Mario Kart.....</div><div><br />

There were things like Aeropostale, Hollister, things like that. Well, I stifled a laugh and quietly said where I was going to work. They cracked up and, of course, I had to explain everything.<br />

The box said "Pedicure Slippers" and I had no thought about the "pedicure" part. I thought they would be just like flip-flops but in slipper version!!!! But noooo........<br />

I now understood the pedicure part.<br />
<br />
So the moral of the story is: Always read ALL of the title, labels, whatever!!!!!!<br />
<br />
P.S. They actually work nicely, though! I now have freshly painted toenails with no smudges!!!<br />
<br />
P.P.S. I apologize for the awful pictures. I got a VERY old camera for Christmas and light and the camera definitely do not like each other!!!Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06383025787783940886noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004413458374082174.post-80663118759549150252012-01-02T12:12:00.000-06:002012-01-02T12:12:27.014-06:00Happy New Year!!!Wow. 2012. 2011 completely gone. Whew, a new start! I don't usually make resolutions, but I am going to have 2 this year. The first one: Get rid of something in my room at least once a week. So far I've disposed of a Whoppers box that I kept because it smelled like chocolate. :) Resolution #2: My close friend's dad got baptized today, and he gave a moving talk about his resolution. It's when you worry, pray. If you worry ten minutes later, pray again. I'm going to keep that one up! We spent New Year's Eve at a family friend's house. At midnight, the boys went outside and banged on pots and pans. :) We watched the Dick Clark Times Square show, and got a little bit of entertainment out of that! On our way home, this conversation occurred:<br />
<br />
Mom: Let's see, who have I not given a New Year hug yet? Umm....... Janie and Joe.<br />
Sam: And me!<br />
Mom: You're right, because I tried to give you one,but you wiggled out.<br />
Pete: What about Daddy?<br />
Mom: I'll give Daddy a New Year hug <i>and</i> kiss!!!!! (smooching sounds)<br />
Dad: (silence)<br />
<br />
Give a New Year hug to somebody today!!!!!!Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06383025787783940886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004413458374082174.post-87635648023744179582011-12-30T12:06:00.000-06:002011-12-30T12:06:26.991-06:00Winter WonderlandYou know how in January and February you just get bored of all the winter-ness? I bet I'll be wishing for more winter-ness in Jan-Feb! I mean, 2 or 3 dustings isn't enough for a 12-year-old snow lover! I just love all of the things about winter. Some of my favorites are:<br />
<br />
The great carols and songs<br />
The birth of Jesus<br />
The FOOD!!!!<br />
Giving/receiving gifts<br />
Socializing (I need that very badly during Christmas break)<br />
SNOW<br />
Sledding<br />
Building snow forts with my brothers<br />
Savory soups and stews<br />
Ice Skating<br />
Watching and re-watching the Christmas classics like Rudolph and Frosty<br />
Watching and re-watching the dumb ABC Christmas specials :)<br />
<br />
Reading that last one makes me want to socialize some more......Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06383025787783940886noreply@blogger.com0
