What A Day It Has Been!

Wow! I am sooooo *yawwwwwwwwwn* sleepy!

Since the wee hours of this morning, my dad has had our whole family outside weeding the flower beds and mowing/weed-eating the grass. The sky would rain, and then shine with sun, rain, then shine, rain, then shine–it became EXHAUSTING! haha I had a terrible “circle” to weed, and now my finger has a bandage on it. 😦 It is a little awkward to be typing now…haha 😀

I applied for an assistant teaching position with the AmeriCorps. I am sure I am not more qualified than the other applicants, as I have not attained a college degree, but I supposed it was at least good practice for writing a cover letter and resume (and if I get far enough: an interview!). If I receive the job–YAY! If not, then…well, my hopes aren’t too high.

I am also applying for a teaching position at a private Christian school of the “Great Books,” like Homer, Illiad, Shakespeare, etc. Their curriculum is one I am interested in, and again, it is good practice.

In Texas, my Aunt and Uncle are going to be starting their own Christian school within the next four years or so. Had I stayed in Texas, I would have most likely worked there; (not because I am a family member, but because I would be highly qualified).

Okay, there is an UPDATE from me! 🙂 Have a great day, everyone!

Two Kinds of Refreshing!

Today has been a GRAND day…and I just wanted to update everyone on two kinds of “refreshing” that I experienced today.

The first has to do with my homemade deodorant recipe. Today and yesterday I have been only wearing that deodorant, instead of my commercial kind. I put on the homemade deodorant in the morning, and then I had to refresh and put it on again at noon both yesterday and today. Other than that, I have not had any problems with it. Since there is not a particular fragrance to the deodorant, I worry that I might “smell,” but no one has complained, and I don’t smell anything vulgar, so I guess I’m good!

Thumbs up for not stinkin'!

Also, on the lines of the deodorant, I have not decided what I will do if I have to go out for the day, since I have to refresh at about noon. I am afraid that the coconut oil would liquidate while in my purse.

Any suggestions?

The second refreshing I have experienced today is RAIN on my drying clothes outside!! Noooo! haha 🙂

I guess you could say it "rained on my parade" ... of clothes! haha 🙂

I had two loads of laundry on the line. The first had been drying for awhile, and I was going to take them off soon. The second load I had just put on, and so they were still pretty wet when the rain began to fall, and then to POUR! I rain outside and hurridely took my clothes off the line, receiving a refreshing of my own!

So with all my 7 reasons to line dry, and 1 reason not to, the 1 reason not to–rain– got in the way! haha 🙂 Stinkers, and I was being so careful, too.

Here in the Northwest where I live, the rain has been picking up lately for a “late-Spring” since we had a long winter. (Apparently, though, at certain places, it is still snowing!)

Anyhow, there’s an update for all of you! Please be sure to check out my latest book reviews: A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway and Modesty by Nan M. Pamer! (With the rainy weather, I’ve been able to read more.) Have a great day!

Take a Journey

I am taking a journey to live a more natural, frugal, and whole life in Christ. Would you like to join me? Oh! Well, perhaps you would like to KNOW me:
