Random Ramblings

9/17/2010

Hmmm...that title sounds familiar.  I mean, I typed 'Random' and then I immediately though of 'Ramblings'.  I'm probably copying it from a book, or someone else's blog, or something.  Maybe I used it already.  Anyway...

I missed Wacky Wednesday Wonders - we were really busy last Wednesday, and I forgot about it.  So, here's some wacky wonders:

1. In one year, more Monopoly money is printed than real money throughout the world.
2. The inventor of the Waffle Iron did not like waffles. (Who could not like waffles??)
3. Every time you lick a stamp you consume 1/10 of a calorie. (Well, if you have twenty friends to write 'thank you' cards to after your birthday, you have an incentive: you're gaining 2 calories!!)

4. Is is estimated that 4 million 'junk' telephone calls (phone solicitations by people or programmed machines) are made every day in the USA.
5. Thomas Edison was afraid of the dark. (Remember, he's the one who invented the lightbulb.)
6. The longest recorded flight of a chicken is 13 seconds. (Hey, that's a long time for a chicken!!  Think about it...1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi, 5 Mississippi, 6 Mississippi, 7 Mississippi, 8 Mississippi, 9 Mississippi, 10 Mississippi, 11 Mississippi, 12 Mississippi, 13 Mississippi, and the chicken goes down.)

Well, was Wacky Wednesday Wonders a wonderful, whopping, wow-filled writing or what??  OK, so maybe it was leaning toward the 'what'. :) Anyway....

Does anyone here get tired of making your bed?  I'll eventually get tired of doing this, but right now it's pretty cool, and it's pretty easy:
Picture
Step One:  The night before, I blow up my air mattress.  Here is the finished product the next morning, after I lay out the comforter. (I don't ever use a sheet - I only have a white mattress cover, a blue fitted sheet, and a matching comforter.)

Picture
Step Two:  I then deflate my air mattres very neatly and remove the pillow.

Picture
Step Three:  Finally, I roll it up, covers and all.  That I night I roll it back out and start the process all over again.

I hope you found it easy enough to endure that educational example.  I like writing sentences that use a lot of words that start with the same letter.  A book that I read gave me the idea, since the author did that a lot.  Anyway, I gotta go now.

May our great God bless you with godly goodness on this gorgeous day!!

    A Lot about Me,
    Nicole Gregory:

    I am your untypical 13-year-old girl (well, I like to think of myself that way). :)  I love my Savior, Jesus Christ, and I try my best to obey my awesome God.  I like writing and enjoy reading even more. My favorite Christian author is Nancy Rue.  My two favorite colors are teal and fuchsia.  I love animals, especially dolphins, dogs, cats, and horses.  My favorite Christian radio stations are JoyFM and K-Love, and some of my favorite  Christian singers and bands are Francesca Battistelli, Britt Nicole, Chris Tomlin, Matthew West, J.J.Heller, Mandisa, MercyMe, Casting Crowns, Sidewalk Prophets...the list goes on and on and on.  I am home-schooled and I love it!  I lovespending time with the wonderful friends God has blessed me with!  I love my family who I always thank God for.  :)  By the way, I am a TRIPLET, with three brothers, Nathan, Noah, and the youngest by a year and a half, Nicholas.  God has blessed me abundantly, and I can't wait to see what He has in store! God bless!!
