Fried Oreos....

Yes, that's right, folks. 

Fried Oreos.

On the front of the newspaper today, an article talked about how one of the popular carnival foods at a nearby fire company carnival is a delicacy known as fried Oreos.  It's exactly as the name implies: Oreos that get deep-fried in batter and then sprinkled with powdered sugar.  It's like chocolate funnel cake.

My mom is grossed out.  My brother is grossed out.  I don't know what to say....they look kinda gross.  The name definitely sounds gross.  It sounds like fried chicken gone overboard.  I think for now, I'm gonna stick to funnel cake and fried chicken.

What do you think?  Yum, or yuck?

Soli Deo Gloria!

MY LEARNER'S PERMIT! HALLELUJAH!

What I've Been Doing

Hi everyone,

It's me, the girl who blogs here. I haven't blogged in a while (at least, in internet terms), but never fear! I am still here!

I want to tell you all about what I've been doing with my room. Once in a while, it's good to do some redecorating. It's minor decorating, but still cool.

My room has a sort of Victorian, old-fashioned look to it. Originally, on the wall which my bed stood against had a poster of a little-known pop group from the 1960s. A week ago, I decided that I was getting tired of it and decided to replace it with a new poster. Originally, I wanted to place on the wall a Beatles poster (I love the Beatles), but my sensible mother persuaded me to try another, more elegant poster. I (wisely) agreed and now have this beautiful poster hanging on my wall above my bed:



And now, the lovely Miss Hepburn greets me with her beauty every time I enter the room.

But..............

I took a good look at that space of wall, and decided that poor Audrey looked lonely, soooooo I decided to get her some friends. They will be arriving to meet her this Friday, and though they are smaller than her, I am sure that they will have lovely time together, hanging up on the wall, side by side of Miss Hepburn:

Grace Kelly

And Lucille Ball

There you have it. Grace will be on the right, and Lucy will be on the left.


I also have an empty space now on the wall facing the east, where there is a window. On the side to the right of the window, I am planning to put a poster of the Arc of Triumph:



Now every morning, I will wake up and see a part of France! Ooo la la!

I will keep you all further updated, should I choose to do anything else to my room. Honestly, however, I don't think the girls will be going anywhere anytime soon.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Happy Birthday, Carrie!

Hi everyone,

This is a happy birthday to my friend Carrie. May you have the happiest of birthdays and a good year to come. May you grow in godliness and become a lovely maiden of God!

Soli Deo Gloria!

Hooray! It's Summertime!

Hi everyone,

Huzzah! This past week, I finished school and attended two graduations, that of my brother and two friends. My friends' graduation was the first high school graduation of my school, so it's pretty neat.

In other news, I just started my garden! Here are the following items that I have planted or have yet to plant:

Green Beans (bush)

Giant pumpkins. Now before you jump to any conclusions, I am NOT the kind of person that grows huge giant vegetables! (Although there was the time one of my zucchini grew to be very large.) I saw a packet for pumpkin seeds at the garden store. I picked it up without looking at it. I gave it to my mom who bought the little seed packet. 120 days later, we're gonna have a big momma of a pumpkin if we don't cut it before it grows too big (and believe me, we will).

Zucchini.

Squash.

Tomatoes.

Lettuce

Broccoli

Bell peppers.

Candytuft

Phlox

Johnny Jump-ups

Morning Glories

And last but not least, my most favorite flowers of all. They will be high maintenance, but it will be well worth it. May I introduce to you................

Queen Mary II Rose

And........

Memorial Day Rose

(I'll be honest and say that this isn't what the rose exactly looks like, but it's white and it's a rose.)

This is gonna be one neat summer! All I have to do is just remember to water the poor little plants! Ta ta for now!

Soli Deo Gloria!

How Does My Garden Grow?

Hi everyone,

I haven't been blogging for a long time. However, I have returned for a very short moment! I am slowly starting my garden. Yesterday, my mom and I went to our local garden store and bought lovely geraniums, sweet williams, dahlias, and snapdragons. Hopefully, sometime in the near future, I will be able to plant poppy seeds and start a vegetable garden. After I dig up all those nasty weeds!

Here are a few pictures of the flowers that I have:

This is not the exact pink color, but I thought it looked much prettier!

Geranium

Dahlias

Sweet William

And poppies all in a row!

Now, although I haven't been blogging lately, I have the duty to inform you that I am going to take another bloggy break. Don't cry now, I'll be back. It's just that the computer frazzles my brain (Don't ask.). However, until then, please tune in to any of the lovely websites I have on my sidebar, which are much nicer than any blog I could make!

Soli Deo Gloria!
