Miscellany Monday

Well, Miscellany Monday has rolled around at Carissa's blog. My favorite day of the week, when I can randomly update you on miscellany events in my life. :)

{1} Lately I have been listening to the soundtracks of Avatar, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and LOST. I normally like to listen to music with words in it, haha, but I'm hooked to these soundtracks. Especially to the soft, sad, beautiful Life & Death (aka Oceanic 815, on my playlist) from LOST. Very touching. Especially if you were a fan of the show and were attached to the characters, like I was. :)

{2} Okay, so today I was doing school (well, Science) and I was learning about movement, speed and velocity. I didn't even know that speed and velocity were two different things. I always thought "velocity" was a fancier way of saying "speed". lol :D Anyways, the book I was reading told me to get a book and set it on a table. So I did. Then it asked, "Is the book moving?" I thought, "What kind of weirdo wrote this book?" Haha. I studied the book setting on my vanity, then came to the conclusion that it was not moving. I starting reading my science book again, where I left off, and it said, "You may not notice, but the book is moving." Now, I already know, but I want you to tell me how you think this book is moving without me being able to notice it? The answer is very simple. :) I just wanna see what some of you will come up with.

{3} Caldirwen went to the park with her friend today, and Esara is sick with a cold, and is subject to her room so that she doesn't get daddy sick, so this afternoon it is just me, my parents and Narthea. Everyone but Caldirwen, mom and dad has had a cold, and we sure hope it stops at Esara. Daddy does not need to get sick, and neither does mom. She's the oil that keeps our engine running. :)

{4} I am starting a babysitting job. I'll be working Mondays and Wednesdays, 11am-4pm, watching an 18 month old little boy. I've babysat him before, and Narthea used to regularly babysit him (she quit almost a year ago), but she wants to stay home and be with mom and dad, so the parents asked me if I'd like to do it. Of course I said yes, because the little boy is so precious, and since Narthea will be 18 in December, she will get her DL and we'll have to put her on the insurance (which we don't have the money for). So some of the money I earn will be going towards that. The rest of the money I will save, probably for a car (for when I start driving). I'm determined to pay for everything I get (like a car, a house, etc.) with cash. Even though it probably won't work out like that, when I'm on my own. lol But still, I do not want to be up to my ears in debt. It does things to ya....

{5} My dad is still doing good, just in case some of you were wondering. He has been more tired lately, but physically and mentally he is still good. Our family has started eating healthy again (when dad came home from the Hospital in July, he didn't like the healthy food we were feeding him, so we switched back to... well, unhealthy food). Now we're eating no dairy, less wheat, less sugar and organic veggies, fruits and meats. Everyone is feeling much better, and we all have more energy! I love eating healthy! And yes, I am a sixteen year old teenage girl, and yes, you did read correctly. I'll say it again, I love eating healthy! Vegetables are actually really good. :) Narthea and I have really enjoyed learning how to cook with more vegetables.

Well, I think this has been a long enough Miscellany Monday post. I apologize for not posting in a few days. I wasn't able to collect all my thoughts and write a post, my mind has been running from one thing to another lately. I hope everyone is enjoying their week so far! I know I am! :)
