Sorry I haven't been blogging a lot lately. I've basically been sleeping and spending time with my family lately. I went snow tubing on Saturday and it was fun. Well, not as much fun as I would like it to have been. I don't really want to talk about it though. This may be a public diary but I don't like to talk gossip. LOL I wasn't able to go to church on Sunday, sadly, because our car... well... lets just say it needs some help! I was also waaayyyy too tired to go. I got home at like 10:30pm and went to bed at 11. So, I was pretty tired. Well, Saturday my dad brought home FRESH cow's milk! We were so happy. Its a long and hard to explain story about store bought milk. Lets just say that if milk is pasteurized then it is not digestible. So we got unpasteurized cow's milk straight from a near-by farm! Now, I don't have to feel guilty when I have cookies and milk! Yesterday we had kind of like a baking day. My mom was going to try to make some butter from the milk we have. Did you know that cow's milk, after it sits out for a while, separates from a cream to the milk, and you can use that cream to make butter? Well, we did! LOL My mom was going to give it a try with our new mixer we got! She tried to find all these recipes on how to make it. There was one that used the mixer. Usually you need to put it in a glass jug and shake it like crazy for 30 mins but we went with the mixer one. Yeah... it didn't go so well. We put it in the mixer and it wasn't doing what it needed to do for the LONGEST time. So, my mom tried to turn it into sour cream. Yeah... that didn't work either. So, we ended up throwing it out. But you learn from your mistakes. The one simple mistake that we must have made was... letting it sit at room temperature. So next time we go and get milk we are going to try again. We also baked cookies yesterday! We were all so excited. Well, yesterday must have been an off day and the cookies didn't turn out the best as usually. But thats what my mom says. I thought they tasted fine!!! We have this thicker flour that we used and we accidentally put too much flour in the cookies. So the cookies tasted a little too much wheaty to everyone but me. So thats what I did yesterday. Today I don't have to do school! YAY! That is because my dad is home because he gets President's Day off. I do have piano today, and a few chores. Well, I have to go... LOOOOOVVVVEEESSSS!!!

My New Signature!

 Look! I have a signature FINALLY! But all I can say is MAN, is it a pain in the butt right now. Blogger can sometimes get really annoying when it comes to pictures and signatures. So if you have a blog, I suggest that if you have a question look it up or put it up on yahoo answers!

Happy Late Valentine's Day! The best Dad EVER gave me a beautiful rose. Nothing much has happened. No one is sick anymore. Just Bailey having some trouble breathing again. :( Hopefully she will get better soon. Please pray for her. Thanks. :)

So I am so extremely excited for youth group tonight. I feel like I haven't gone in FOREVER! The last time I went there was an expected big snow storm and we had to end it early. There wasn't much to it. Usually all the snow storms are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so a lot of the nights have been canceled for those reasons. Now I'm going to tell you why I am so excited. Last time I went, I was able to sing in the worship team. Seeing that we don't have anymore of our old worship team anymore we are building another one. Ever since I was little (not when I wanted to be a Marine, older than that) I wanted to be a singer. God has actually shown me to take a different path but I still love to sing. Well, being able to be "in a band" would be a dream come true to me if I was 7 years old. I still do think that it would be really cool even though I am 14. Although I still would love to do that I've decided to follow God and go a different way. I think that being able to be on the worship team and sing would be the most amazing thing in the world! It is the closest I can get to my old dream. I think that this is the best way to do it. It is like being in band and still be able to go down God's path. It is just an amazing feeling. I thank the One who can make this happen. He has shown me many ways for me to me a multi-tasker, especially when it comes to this. So tonight, seeing that I get to youth group early, I am going to walk into worship practice and let me dream come true! PRAISE THE LORD! <3

Yeah, I know I posted yesterday but I wanted to give who ever is reading this to give you all a heads up. I'm feeling better today. No fever or headache. But it all turns out that I might have strep throat! So, tomorrow I'm going to the doctors to get tested. Whoop dee doo daa dee day! Not too thrilled but whatever. lol  It still hurts really bad to swallow ANYTHING though. Just chilling today. But one of my concerns is my sister Bailey. Like I said a while ago she doesn't really have a brain and she just sits on the couch all day. Long story. Anyways, when she get sick or congested she can't breathe very well and we have to put her on oxygen. Even with that she still doesn't get as much as she needs. We are keeping an eye on her. For those who believe in God would you please pray for my sister? She really needs to get more oxygen. Thanks soooooo much! <3 God Bless!

I am go miserable right now. I was 99% over my last cold. Then yesterday I got a REALLY awful cold. My first one was where my sinuses were stuffed with mucus and I was tired all the time. Noooowwww, I have a REALLY painful sore throat. I can't even swallow anything! Not even spit! I also have like the WORST headache of them all. It kills! I also have an entire body ache and not to mention a fever. The back of my neck hurts and my lower back hurts too. I don't know how that all fits together but it somehow does. It is also VERY difficult to sleep. AAAAANNNNNDDDDDD I don't really have much of an appetite either. I am really just absolutely MISERABLE! So, whoever is reading this please pray for my health. I am really just not wanting to go through this. So PLEASE pray for me. Thanks. <3


The Poor Miserable BROOKE

What, a WEEK! Well, I forget where I last left off. So, I'm just going to start talking. Well, you know how I need to sell my precious bunny Prince? Well, we just put him up for adoption last night. Well, that night we got almost 5 emails on him. The one that stuck out was like lady that said he looked exacly like her old bunny. Well, it turns out that Prince was her old bunny! His former name was Toby and that was her old bunny's name and they looked and acted the same. So Prince was Toby and Toby was her old bunny. So, the lady is coming to take Prince (Toby) back to his original ORIGINAL home. The reason why I said original twice is because the lady that is picking him up today gave her bunny to another lady and we took the bunny from her and now Prince is going to the first lady. It is SUCH a blessing to know that Prince (Toby) is going to a home where they already know his ups and downs and what he likes and doesn't like and EVERYTHING! So praise the LORD that he is going back home. To his first and ORIGINAL home. I am going to miss him but at least he will be much much happier where he is going. I've gotta sign off now... I'll keep ya posted! <3 Luuuuuuvvvzzz! <3

Hello fellow followers and visitors! Happy Feb! I'm feeling better now. I still can't smell or taste anything. Well, I can only taste certain things but almost everything tastes weird or bland. We are getting yet ANOTHER snow storm today AND tomorrow! Haven't we already got enough snow for this winter? I never thought I would say that I am sick of snow, and this is ONLY  my fourth year in Maine! 0.o I'm just ready to start heading to the beach and jumping on the trampoline, and don't forget shopping downtown. I have shops in my little town that I live in that have lots of cool and fun stuff! Anyways, we are going to get a foot and a half of snow. We already have 2 feet now. Where are we all going to put it?!?!?! Well, enough about snow... I'm already sick of it. Nothing much is going on. I do have to make a very sad statement. I have to give my poor bunny Prince to someone. I don't know who yet though. There are several reasons why but I will just list the biggy. I can't let him out to run around much at all because Preston and Brielle will tease him like crazy. Plus I might be moving eventually out of this house that I am in. We have no idea where to put him. So those are just 2 of the several I have. Plus he is way more work then I had originally thought. He needs to go to a home where he can get LOTS of attention and where he can be let out. Please, don't be asking to buy him off of my blog. Just so you know. But my parents did say that if I do end up finding a new home for him that I might be able to get a kitten! Cats are a lot easier to care for. Well, thats according to me. Well, I've got to sign off. But guess what! There is a facebook page about my blog. So if you have a facebook then search for: The Queen Cheetah and you should find it quite easily. The picture is the same picture of my homemade business cards. Also, I have already liked the page. Please, if I don't know you then please don't ask to be my friend of facebook. If I don't know you then I can't add you. But you can feel free to just continue reading my blog. Plus, you get lots more info reading this anyways.... ;) Stalkers.... =D
