I’m volunteering

Celena — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:43:52 +0000

I decided I had some extra time on my hands and wanted to do something good. We don’t live very far from the animal shelter so I went up there to see if I could maybe help in some way. Guess what??? I get to play with puppies and walk some of the dogs that are there. I’m having a ball too. These poor doggies are usually left there because they got lost or their owners couldn’t take care of them anymore. One lady brought her beagle in with a litter of 9 puppies. She said she couldn’t afford to have her fixed and just couldn’t take care of puppies every time you turn around. I really felt sorry for her because she was crying when she left.

Anyway, if you want to help but don’t have time to play with puppies or walk the dogs, you can make some donations. Some of the items they need are things you might throw away anyway so put them to good use, okay? I’ve noticed there are several other blogs that have this list too so maybe we all need to help out. Here’s a list of what they need:

Clean, old newspapers to be used for litter and lining cages
Toilet seat covers (cats love to lie on them in their cages)
Any type of cat or dog toy (plastic or washable)
Old bath towels and blankets
Canned cat food, any brand
Bagged, dry dog food (particularly desired is Science Diet but other brands accepted)
Laundry soap
Bleach
Heavy ceramic food and water bowls
Antibacterial hand soap
Candles - citrus or spice
Paper towels

Dad has a bad back

My poor Daddy has had a bad back for as long as I can remember. Mom found Takemi Jade Vista 5000 Massage Bed and has ordered one for her and Daddy. He has to go to chiropractors all the time and Mom is hoping this will stop that. With what they save on the doctor, it will pay for the bed. I can’t wait till it comes so I can try it out too.

My Grandmother

Well I call her Mamaw and have since I was a little girl. She is by far the sweetest woman on the face of the earth. It’s hard to believe she gave birth to my Daddy, just kidding. My Daddy is pretty cool after all. He grew up in those mountains and talks about it quite a bit. Mamaw raised 5 kids in those mountains and didn’t drive until after Papaw was gone.

I didn’t know Papaw very well. He was the total opposite of Mamaw. He was very quiet and kept to himself most of the time. The hardest thing is he committed suicide when I was real little. He went to the doctor and they gave him some type of anti-depressant and within two weeks of taking them, he took his own life. I’m not sure what type of anti-depressant it was but it back fired with Papaw. He wasn’t the type of man to do that either. He went to church every Sunday and……………I don’t really want to talk about that anymore.

Going to the mountains

Celena — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:29:44 +0000

It’s so darn hot here and for sure at the beach. We decided to take a little trip to the mountains next week and stay all week. I love it there. My aunt has a house across the street from my grandmother and lets us use it anytime we want. It’s beautiful there. When you look down the driveway, you can see the river across the street that runs by my grandmothers house. We go tubing down the river and have since I was little. Daddy and my brother fish, and I do too sometimes.

It’s good clean fun and we don’t have to worry about anything but the animals that come out at night to go to the river. We have seen bear, deer, fox and even heard bob cats holler. That’s make you get your butt inside real quick!!!! It’s like being in Heaven until you hear that.

Great day!!!!!!!!

A bunch of us got together and went fishing, (I caught the biggest one) we played music, we laughed and we just had a great time at the pond behind our house. It wasn’t too hot and it wasn’t too humid. I’m telling you it was a perfect day. There’s nothing better than spending the day with friends and having a blast doing nothing special. Just being together makes it special.

There’s a lot to moving

Celena — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:57:53 +0000

I told you about my best friend moving, well I didn’t realize just how much was was involved in a move like that. Especially when you need to know about interstate moving companies. My girlfriend was telling me that her Daddy contacted them about moving out of state, moving their other car, and they even helped them find another place to live. They offer an apartment hunter, real estate help, even mortgage help. Pretty cool. I was impressed but I still wish she wasn’t moving.

Help with research

Celena — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 21:09:33 +0000

I should have written this while I was in school and not over the summer but I just thought about it. I’m sure I’ll use it again when I start college this fall. I found a website that has news archives on it. It’s called Wikinews:Archives. It has all the relevant news that you might want to go back over if you have a report to write and need some research into something that was in the news. I found it to be a huge help. Even if you aren’t doing a research paper and just wanted to see what was going on sometime in the past, check it out. I have it bookmarked because I never know when I might need it again.

Remember the glasses???

Celena — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 21:05:32 +0000

Hey remember me telling you I had to get glasses and then Mom got some too? I couldn’t believe it when I saw Zenni on Fox. How cool is that? See I can get some darn good bargans too and know one when I see it. Trust me, if you need glasses, you need to check with ZenniOptical.com first.

OH I forgot to tell you!!!

When Uncle Bill came and told us he was getting married, my Daddy asked him if he had to get married. Uncle Bill looked at him kind of puzzled and said “What do you mean?” Well Daddy asked him since he got those little wonder pills he didn’t get her pregnant did he? Mom and I are doing all we can not to bust out laughing because Uncle Bill got a real concerned look on his face and said “Lord I hope not.” Mom and I had to leave the room. They’re both too old to make babies!!!!

Guess what I found!!

Celena — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 11:26:37 +0000

You are never going to guess what I found. It’s a web site that will actually pay you to write blogs. Imagine that, someone is going to pay me to write a blog about things I already was planning to write about in the first place. It’s a payperpost type thing where advertisers make offers to a blogger to write about their services, products, or what ever they want advertised. Hey, I’m in advertising!! Sounds important huh?

I was really needing some extra money anyway because with going to college this fall, there are so many things I’m going to need that I really hate putting it all on my parents. I’ll need new clothes, I can’t start college in what I wore to high school now can I? Of course that means new shoes too. Seriously, I’ll need books, and a bunch of supplies and if I can get those on my own, it will help my parents out a great deal. Books are EXPENSIVE!!!!!
