Overview of Saturday

Today, after facing a restless night's sleep, I arose out of my bed at 8:15am. I put some comfy clothes on and left the door at 8:25 to head six blocks over to babysitt Selena and Savanna for the morning. We watched a Care Bear's movie that really took the majority of the time. In admitting that, I feel like a horrible babysitter that I used a movie as means of entertainment for the girls. Afterwards, we had lunch and then I changed them into their clothes for the day. I have dressed kids before but today, I for the first time got to pick what they would wear and I got to style their hair. Ugh...it pretty much was the highlight of my morning. Someday I will have my own...

I came home a half an hour after noon and hit the books studying almost immeaditely. I memorized the last fifteen terms for a test I have on Tuesday. I have it all the terms memorized three days early. That could be described as a record! After that, I quickly cleaned up my room since I just cleaned it a few days ago. I just picked up the random items that fell from my hands to the floor.


Dad, mom, and I spent some time on youtube showing each other various videos. Sitting between my parents felt so...I don't know, lovely. I love those two so much. After the video sharing, I outlined the next chapter of the same class I studied for earlier. We ate dinner together shortly after. Shrimp Alfredo...yummm!

I then started to clean up my little office space downstairs I have. I use it for studying, scrapbooking, reading, doing devotions, and other various activites. So I decided to organize and put more decorations in it all today. I got so into it I loss track of time and forgot about Da's (Dan Stephens) hockey game I was invited to go too. By the time I realized what time it was, the game would have been over in twenty minutes. Aw well. I took pictures of the various parts of my cozy little space. So here are some pictures of it....with my running commentary.








This is the whole space in general complete with old wicker bookshelf, various pictures I took that mom framed, pictures and reminders of people I love, the desk I recieved as gift from my high school drama teacher, and Frank Po sitting up my suitcase that will be packed in a couple days for White Out.






This treasure right here is a famiy heirloom. Okay not really. But it has been apart of the Moen household since I have been born. Dad almost threw away this priceless treasure away when I snagged it for my area. The top shelf you will observe carries a radio, a cute snoopy Vday card on top of it, my God box (I put prayer requests in there, things that concern me and come back later to see how God has answered them, its pretty encouraging), Graduation Bear, and Snorta.
Next we have, my collection of notebooks and DVD's. The notebooks generally carry stories. I also have some cards from my birthday that just warmed my heart. I also have a picture of my late Grandpa Tony and me when I was four years old.

Under that shelf, we will find more notebooks however these ones carry notes from school and notes I shared back and forth with friends. There are two bags in the middle, one holds a pretty design and the other is a Teletubbies one. I use these bags to carry encouraging notes people have written me over the years. When ever I find myself not loved, which I am ashamed to admit, is more often that I would like, I go through those notes. I should read the Word...but I don't. I also have three different Hoops and Yoyo cards from people who know I love a good Hoops and Yoyo card. A card a friend sent me from Florida while I was in Germany. Photo ablums that hold my favorite photography shots I have taken. One day I will use them to have prospect buyers look through. All four of my high school year books are lined up in order.
One the bottom we have my scrapbooking supplies. I think that row holds my favorite things to organize. I was able to organize my stickers...which for anyone who has ever scrapbooked with me can say that is a huge deal.





Here is the wonderful free desk. I was in the market for a cheap desk for a little over a few weeks. One day, as I was having lunch with my drama teacher, Ms Swan, I saw she had moved her desk in the garage to be pitched. I asked her what price she would allow me to have it for. She insisted I just take it. So I took her sixteenth birthday present and it nows sits in my basement. Amberlee, my laptop, sits there (with the Ignite group as the background) owning the show probably playing my newest instrumental music addiction- chinese music with an erhu playing as the main instrument. Pure beauty. I am not going to bore you, more than I already have, with all the items in the desk area. Hmm idea. *Thinks out loud* I could decorate the outside of the drawers with several different pictures. Ohhh that's a splendid idea. When I get my own house, it will decorated with so many pictures of the ones I love. Just watch.




I love Saturdays, no work, no school -plenty of time to be productive with stuff that cannot get done during the week. Most the time anyways there aren't many Saturdays spent like this. Usaully I am lazying around. However, there are many Saturdays I wish Sunday wasn't after. Days like today I will be wanting to charge various projects and stay up all night doing so. Like right now, I want to reorganize my bookshelf in my room. But being that it is almost midnight and I have not showered for tomorrow, I can not. *Looks down defeated* OH well...tomorrow is Sunday which is another glorious day. Goodnight and good luck! : )
