Haha...tags are fun. You don't like ham, hmm? (me neither)

I didn't like Pirates 3, even though it had good effects, music, humor, etc. it was still lame. There was like...no plot...whatsoever...

That's funny that he calls you the organic girl!! lol!!

Commented by Earthling

Now that's a lot of questions! Patience!
Organic girl..lol! :P

Commented by Ashley / Jonash2004

Wow. Now I know a bunch of really random things about you... Organic Girl!

*snicker*

Okay, I'm waaaaay too giggly for a mom. At least my idea of what a mom should be like. Ahem. I'm off to cook dinner .... :P

Commented by quietcajun

That was fun to read! Somehow I knew your favorite colors! :)

Commented by LifeSong

Hey Amanda!
How have you been doing lately? I haven't commented you for the longest time!

Wow! that was a bunch of tags!! I loved your answers!

No Fair!! You guys are getting snow right now!! I wish it would snow here in AZ, but that is highly unlikely to happen! LOL!

Hope to hear from you soon.
TTYL,
Delaine :-)

P.S. I like pirates of the carribean 3 too!!!!

Commented by SeaChel

Such luvly, long tags!!
You don't like winter? I luv winter! I mean, sure snow can get boring after it's been here for a long time, but I still luv it and hope that some comes soon!! :-D Well, since I don't live around where you are, I hope that the rain and snow both stop for you! :-D

Hey Amanda-

You updated again, LOL :) When did you do tags last...been awhile, LOL. I understand, sometimes you feel like they are so boring and some days you just can't resist doing them. Sometimes I just like reading tags cause that can really fun if you are "totally" bored.

That is so neat that your favorite band is Lifehouse. I really enjoy there music and my favorite song of theirs is "Everything." I even have it on my play list it is so good. There are so many good Christian bands to choose from that it is so hard, but I would have to say they are one of the better ones. I also like Chris Tomlin, Hillsong, MercyMe, Third Day, and more.

It is pretty cold here right now. We have a big snow storm on us and we have a lot of snow on the ground. My mom and my older brothers had to leave a couple of minutes ago because my oldest brother got stuck out in the snow. Thankful for cellphones, LOL. I'm not sure what he was doing out there in the first place and even more so with a tiny BMW. Oh well, that's teenagers, LOL. After today we are suppose to have a total of 8-10 inches of snow. That should be fun to play in.

Well g2g, have a great day!!!

Love, Miss Elizabeth

Commented by TrickyNikki

That was fun to read. Sometimes "fun" posts are nice too. Though I still like your deeper ones as well. :-)

I need to blog again...

Blessings.

You had tags from summer! Oh, I feel better! I have some tags and awards but I just haven't gotten around to it yet! LOL!

Neat answers! Do you like all three POTC?

Organic people are pretty rare! LOL! Do you by chance grind your own flour? I've never met anyone else in RL who did, no matter how wonderful it tastes!

We don't eat ham either.

You have "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End"!?! Oh, how cool! My sister Celeste, is auppose to be getting it for us. :) I can't wait to watch it again. :D My mom totally grossed out at the part when one of the crew is playing with his toe and it snaps off. :D Sorry! And the funny part about it was, we were all eating popcorn! lol!

Ya'll have gotten snow!?! Oh, I wish it would snow here. We're suppose to get some snow flurrys sometime today but I'm not sure if we will. :(

Very cool tag! :)

(gasp) You can't eat shrimp!?! You poor thing! :( I'm so sorry about that.

So that's how you spell Pyrenees. As many times as people on HSB ask me, "what kind of dog you have", you'd think I'd remember how to spell it. :) It was hard having to give her away but it was for the best. We had to keep her on a chain 'cuz she liked to rome around the neighborhood and one neighbor said that if any dog came into his yard, he's shoot it. What she needed was a fenced in yard and we didn't have the money to spend to get one.

Well, hope you have a wonderfully blessed day!

lots of hugs,
Jordan Lee

I had some comments but got sidetracked (once again) with the thought of driving to the gas station? Every day?! What in the world is so great that you would drive every day to get 64oz of it? It boggles my mind, I tell ya.

I really like that game Boggle. Do you?

I also thank thee for thy support in the HSBA. You are making me blush here...

Sorry I've been a bit scattered on my commenting and visiting. It has been cuhrazy around here. My entire family is coming to visit beginning on Wed! Woohooo!!! I have three sisters and a brother and we all just love being together. We also all live in different states-- OK, CA, NY, TX. So it is going to be a real treat and we are going to eat a ton, laugh a lot, stay up too late (and say we won't do it again the next night but do it anyway) and just enjoy being together.

I hope you have a great week, my superfriend!

Love,
Marshie

Commented by dixiebeauty

YEp! Love Batman Begins!!! Awesome movie! Very awesome! I hope to convince somebody in my family to get it for me for my birthday next month. :D The Dark Knight? What's that?

Oh, well, renting "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End" from the library is cool. :)

If I could, I would totally take some snow off your hands. :) We did get some snow flurrys yesterday. That was cool! I just wish it wouldn't get cold when it snows. lol! I know, I'm weird. :D

Oh, I see! I agree with you that shrimp are bottom feeders and they eat all the garbage off the sea floor. That's why they taste soooooo good! :D

Yeah, it was hard to give her away but it was probably for the best. Though I'm missin' the big girl. :)

Hope you have a wonderfully blessed day!

lots of hugs,
Jordan Lee
