Settled At Last

After four days of very stretched-out driving (4-7 hours each day) we have all arrived safely at our destination- a friend's house close to DC.

Today was spent on a tour of some places in the vicinity. It was...very informative. Don't get me wrong it was interesting. I love tours and seeing new places, but after driving for four days, more driving was just, yeah. Especially since we needed to leave the house no later than 6am so we could meet the tour early at 7, which was already meeting at 7:30 before leaving at 8. We were all glad mom had scheduled extra time to find a place to park.

The following pictures came from the tour.

Before leaving the parking lot, I told everyone to 'do something cute'



Hmmm, not bad, considering I couldn't see what I was doing.

This is a replica of the statue on top of the Capital Building.

Ordinarily, the white thingy would not be there, but the whole dome was being renovated, so it was for our protection.

Looks kinda like a beehive.

I'm sure you all know what this is, and yes, I edited it.

Jefferson Memorial.

The Pentagon! My Grandfather used to work there.

I can't remember how to spell (or pronounce) the name of this monument, but I think it was my favorite out of all the ones we visited.



I found this license plate on a bus...

Lincoln Memorial.



Washington Monument.
We all had a bunch of fun, and I'm sure that we will all sleep very well tonight. Maybe even catch up a bit as we have all only gotten about 7 hours of sleep in a row over the last couple of nights.

I have a good reason though, read THIS POST to find out why I didn't sleep much.

I need a Texan phrase for a farewell this time:

See y'all later!

      Riding in the bus was super fun, probably because it was a double-decker with open air on top. Also, seeing all the monuments was pretty awesome. I had seen pictures on the internet, but in person is so much better.

      That is an idea, consider it done!

The Bookshelf Tag

Image
Ok, so a while ago  Mironiel Blokzyl  made a bookshelf tag, and tagged anyone who wanted to do it, so, naturally, I stole it  decided to do it. :) But, seeing as how I was on vacation when she posted it, and away from most of my precious books, I had to wait until I returned. Anyways, I'm positive the only rules are to answer the questions, and tag people. Let the tag commence! 1) How do you rearrange your bookshelf? There was a time when I didn't even have my own shelf, I shared with Lydia, so she did the organizing. Then, I got a huge tall bookshelf, that was rather wobbly. I thing I filled about half of it, and used the other half for desk storage, since I didn't (and still don't) have a desk. I moved rooms a couple of times, and now I have a different bookshelf (that is still huge). I had a faze where I wanted everything by series and height. Now it's just what looks nice and interesting. When I get more books, I may try to organize by color. 2)

Bang goes that theory. -_- Night before last, the heater ran all night, and I had the brilliant idea to accidentally sleep a large portion of the night with my mouth open. Fast-forward to 7:30 yesterday morning. I woke up with a sore throat. Determined to not let it get me down, I continued to function like normal, despite the fact that all I really wanted to do was ignore my alarm clock and pull the blankets back over my head. I marched downstairs and promptly brewed myself a mug-full of tea. Most the the day, I was able to act like nothing was out of the ordinary- I was even able to finish my science for the rest of the year! (*throws confetti*) After dinner though, I started getting really really tired. When Mom read us a story in the living room, I almost fell asleep. After she finished, I went back up to my room. If it hadn't been only 8ish I would have gone to sleep immediately, but it was, so instead, I crawled into bed with a book. I little while later, little si

I fixed it!

Image
A couple weeks ago I was notified by somebody who shall remain anonymous (you know who you are) that my Google Friend Connect button was out of commission. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what was the issue, so I just left it alone and hoped that Google would eventually fix it for me. Still nothing. A couple days ago, Lydia asked me to email her a list of some of my favorite bloggers (don't worry, you're all my favorite, but I couldn't very well send her a list of dozens of links to wade through, now could I?). She also asked me how she could get more involved in the blogging community. Of course, I told her to post more on  her secondary blog , and to follow and comment on other people's blogs. After thinking on what I told her, I decided that I needed to check the design for her secondary blog because I couldn't even remember what it looked like even though I was the one who designed it for her. Holy moly! It was definitely cringe-worthy!
