A giveaway and a prayer request

Johanna @ An Old Fashioned Girl is hosting a giveaway! She has some great prizes... don't miss it!

Another thing... our family is experiencing the horror (not really) of the flu. So, if y'all could keep us in your prayers it would be much appreciated :).

A tag! A tag!

Hannah @ Hannah's Corner tagged all of her followers (which includes me) so here goes!

I don't have a phone!

Do you have any plans for the weekend?
Well, we are most defiantly going to clean house on Saturday... but other than that I wouldn't know.

Has someone ever made you a promise and broke it?
Actually, you have that one backwards. I can't count the times that I've said that I'd do something and didn't... yikes!

Last movie/DVD watched?
The BBC version of Ivanhoe... not that great. Does Geometry lessons count instead?

Not at the moment.

How are you?
Doing well!

Are you excited for next year?
I suppose...

Is your room clean?
Welllllll.... my side at least!

No. I'm not one for things like that.

What do you want to be?
Right now, that is a sign language interpreter.

Do you want kids?
Absolutely!

Do you like going to the beach?
Well, I've only been to the beach once and the winds were very high. And when the winds are high the sand whips around and stings your legs which isn't pleasant.

I went today! Stephen needed to get his i-Pod Touch (it broke and he got another one for free) from the Apple store over there.

Nope.

Who do you hate right now?
The devil and his demons.

I'm not sure... it might have been one of the dogs.

Mary... she made a cornbread for dinner.

Are you in a complicated relationship?
Ummm.... what is that supposed to mean? Whatever it is the answer is no.

Will you be in a relationship in the next couple month?
Uhhhhh... not at my age!

Did you have any unread text messages when you woke up today?
Nope.

Do you want to see somebody right now?
I guess. I like it when friends drop in unexpectedly!

Do you think two people can last forever?
Absolutely not!

When was the last time you had a late night phone call?
Well, seeing as how no one calls me on the phone except for maybe the dentist....

If you could move somewhere else, would you?
Maybe. We've lived here for 11 years and I sort of like change now and again.

You know, I don't really date and I'm not planning on it any time soon.

Stephen and L4J.

Have you ever wasted too much time on a certain boy?
Goodness, NO!

How was last night?
I slept, so it was great!

No.

Do you have trust issues?
No.

I love pink...

...especially when it is eatable. Yes, I'm going to share a recipe with you... it's called pink pie. And it is GOOd!!! And it is very simple to make too:

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored gelatin mix
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can cold evaporated milk
• 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix boiling water, strawberry gelatin, sugar and lemon juice. Stir until dissolved.
2. In a large bowl, whip evaporated milk with electric mixer until it achieves the consistency of whipped cream. Fold in the strawberry gelatin mixture. Pour into pie shell and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours before serving.

I HaD pictures but I don't know where they went... sorry :(.

On a different note, my brother launched a forum. You can visit it HERE.

OK just so you know...

I changed my username to Moe instead of FnGg. So don't worry... I'm still here!!

An award!

I was awarded this sweet award by Moriah! I've gotten this one before but I never did the tag that comes along with it. For this one you have to list 7 random facts about yourself:

1. I'm crocheting a bed jacket right now (I don't wear bed jackets... it looked nice enough to wear for daytime ;).
   
2. I love painting my nails! (*rolls eyes*)
3. I exercise by doing T-Tapp (I love it!)
4. I'm 5'7'' (like Moriah!)
5. I am the third child in my family
6. I tripped when I went into the pet store yesterday *laughing*
7. I have a black and white cat named Tommy (the name isn't very original. Oh well!)

I award this to whoever comments on this post and wants to do the tag/award.

Thanks Moriah! That was fun... see y'all later!
