Evil stuffed animals beware! For a hero has awoken. The Armadillo of Legends! He single-handedly slew the giant polar bear,
defeated a ship full of tiny pirates,
and while ridding his faithful steed, the black panther,
he wields “La Spada del Destino”! The Sword of Destiny!
But is even he ready to face “The Revenge of the Polar Bear!”
Island
This is a picture I downloaded from bing (the search engine, not the person) awhile ago.
Now that’s a pretty picture. Also I admit the title is not very creative, but I couldn’t figure out what to make it.
Fencing
Recently I have started studying fencing (very casually), and I have found that none of the swords used in fencing are called rapiers. There are three different types of practice swords: the foil, the epee (seriously that’s its name), and the sabre. Who knew?
Nicholas’ Superpower
For as long as I can remember Nicholas has been really good at predicting movie lines. No really, I remember being really little and we were watching the animated “Sleeping Beauty”, and the narrator said, “And they called her Aurora”. Nicholas, who had been studying Latin at the time, said, “They named her after the dawn?!”. Right after the narrator said, as if answering Nicholas, “Yes, they named her after the dawn”. And just last night we were watching a movie and Nicholas predicted EXACTLY what they were going to say. I think this must be his superpower. It’s not a very useful power, but it’s still a superpower.
Which Feast Day is it?
Do you know what feast day today is? I’ll give you a hint; it’s the 25th of March and today is a Marian feast day. Yep, today is the feast of the Annunciation. So, Happy Feast of the Annunciation everyone!
Math Problems
You know what I hate? When you’re trying to explain a math problem to someone and you’ve been trying for a really long time, and you almost think you’ve got it… And they still don’t understand you. I’m afraid this happens with Robert a lot. For some reason when Robert doesn’t understand something he has a hard time figuring it out.
Writers Block
Many of you probably know what writers block is like. You try to write something and the right words don’t come to mind, or you just can’t figure out what to write. This actually happens quite frequently with me (it makes writing a daily blog slightly harder), but I think helps if you start writing something easy, even it has nothing to do with what you are trying to do, or write. Then it becomes easier for me to write something else.
They’re Watching!
As I sit here writing this blog post, Anne just stands behind me. Why, what does she hope to gain. Is she just being creepy? Maybe she is trying to read the post before it is finished. Yes, that must be it. She pretends to be reading something else but I know what she is trying to do. I can’t let that happen! I won’t! But what should do? Maybe if I wait she will leave… A quick glance over my shoulder shows she is still there. Yeah right, just cause the bookcase is behind me people try to trick me into thinking they are reading. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING DO YOU HEAR ME, I KNOW… What do you know she left. Maybe I was just being paranoid. Oh no, it’s Veronica. I KNOW she is trying to read the blog before it’s done. Sometimes, (much to my chagrin), she succeeds.
Giant Grasshopper!
I was going through some old photos and I found these pictures. I figured the best way to present them would be as a short story (a very short story). Oh no! It’s the attack of the giant grasshopper! 
The swat men fought bravely, but it was hopeless.
Finally, the Lego Ninja Force showed up and saved the day.
Or not.
Happy Feast of the Solemnity of St. Joseph!
Happy Feast of the Solemnity of St. Joseph! Though technically Yesterday was the actual day when the feast would normally take place, our parish is celebrating it today. It’s a pretty special feast day, if you ask me. After all St. Joseph is both the patron saint for St. Joseph’s (obviously) and ME!
