God Brings the Rain

We have had a dry spell for quiet a while. I don't really remember the last time it rained this summer, but I know it's been a month. Or almost anyway. We missed all the rain Saturday from Tropical Storm Lee, and Sunday morning we got some light showers. But early this morning, around 2 AM, we finally got rain. A good downpour! Today it's been steadily raining with no thunder or lightning. For that I am grateful! I never liked thundering or lightning! Just rain is fine by me! The electricity stays on!! I pray this rain will help us! Our house has two cracks from this dry spell..seems like this is the driest, hottest summer ever.

Anyways, last week was a very good week! Thursday me, MawMaw and Granddaddy went to Aberdeen(MS) and took pictures of an old church...I will post it later! After that we went to Monograms Magic to see my Aunt Amy! That was so much fun! Looking around at all the neat stuff they had and gasping at some of the prices! lol. I tried on a pair of flip flops and love them! A late graduation present from my Aunt Amy! :) They are black with brown glittery strap. Ever since I've had them, my feet have not hurt anymore!!

Friday me and Daddy went to Tupelo! I found MORE stationary! I had a fit over some Vera Bradley stationary at Monograms Magic, but they were too expensive. *sighs* Oh well, these will do for now! :) After that we went to Hobby Lobby! MORE CRAFT STUFF! I heart Hobby Lobby and all their crafties! I found some stickers, yarn and cameo on clearance! I heart good sales too! :D

Yesterday Granny and PawPaw came over! We had KFC for lunch and had a great visit! I got Granny some large print books that I knew she'd enjoy! Then I gave her some earrings I had made for her! She loved them too! :) I wish they could come up more often and vice versa.

And today is Labor Day! No babies and silence! :) I'll enjoy it! :) The living room is MINE! Bring on the craftiness! And of course, today will be great! God brought the rain! :)

Start of a New Blog

I'm thinking the reason for creating this blog is to start fresh. My other blogs are all great, but this one I want to define me and share my thoughts. I will continue blogging on Pioneer Writer, as that blog will continue being the place I do my reviews and such.

Where shall I start here? A little introductory perhaps? Alright then, my name is Natalie and I live in Mississippi. Our town is pretty small, but not so much. We have over 20,000 people here, but the biggest mall is Wal-Mart. I can't imagine living anywhere else in this world! As much as I want to leave MS and see other places, I can't picture myself LIVING anywhere else. What can I say, I am a Mississippi girl!

I live with my parents and my cats. I don't have any siblings, but the cats make up for them! I am a very quiet person and can be really shy, but I try to speak up. Honestly! I just find it hard sometimes. Especially in a group of people. I feel myself in the way and I just want to go hide. I guess I need to change that, but believe me when I say that I have tried!

All my friends have left me here in MS. They're all at college right now and yes, it's hard. Being an only child is hard enough as it is. Sure, there are still tons of people in my town, but I don't go out very much. I'm pretty much a homebody! And how can you make friends when you stay home?! Also I don't really get invited to many places. I mean, I'd like to go somewhere with someone different at least once a month. I guess I get lonely a lot. Especially when people tell me "We'll hang out soon" but that doesn't happen most of the time. My last opportunity to hang out was over a month ago and she's leaving in a week for college. We were supposed to hang out one more time, but we just got too busy in our own lives.

So, my life sounds pretty boring, right? Trust me, if I told you what I do everyday, your head would spin! I may not get out much or have a job, but I do TONS of things everyday. Hm, that could be a subject for my next post.

Til then,
~Natalie~

PS- Okay, so I chose my name to be "Whimsical" because that is something I probably never will be! :)
