Some of the craziest hotels ever!

Have you ever gotten tired of those same old hotels with the same old beds, the same old breakfast, and the same old same old? Well while browsing the Internet the other day, I came across some of pictures of wacky hotels, which, I don't even know if they exist for real. Let's get started shall we?

Oh yes, this, this is just gorgeous.

My sister would love this one.

Cute. :D

I wouldn't feel safe here. Too much glass.

Hobbit hole for the win!!!!

......Really? An old jail hotel? Nice...


 Is this...an upside down hotel? THAT'S AWESOME.

I wonder who built this hotel...

I'm in love with this hotel. I mean, it's a treehouse! You sleep, in, a treehouse!

As much as this underwater one is cool, I wouldn't feel safe here either. Sharks might pay me a visit...

This is my favorite. I would love to stay in a library hotel. But does it exist?

Which ones do you like? Feel free to post a comment and tell me.

Musical Mondays on Tuesday

(Hey guys! Yes, go ahead and say it. I got back from the conference and didn't post. Sorry! I'm sorry! But I'm making up for it now with a Musical Mondays post on Tuesday. Enjoy!)

Send Me a Song--Lyrics

Take the wave now and know that you're free
Turn your back the land, face the sea
Face the wind now, so wild and so strong
When you think of me, wave to me and send me song

Don't look back when you reach the new shore
Don't forget what you're leaving me for
Don't forget when you're missing me so
Love must never hold, never hold tight, but let go

Oh, the nights will be long when I'm not in your arms
But I'll be in this song that you sing to me
Across the sea, somehow, someday
You will be far away, so far from me
And maybe someday I will follow you in all you do
'Til then, send me a song

When the sun sets the water on fire
When the wind swells the sails of your hire
Let the call of the bird on the wind
Calm your sadness and lonliness
And then start to sing to me
I will sing to you
If you promise to send me a song

I walk by the shore and I hear
Hear your song come so faint and so clear
And I catch it, a breath on the wind
And I smile and I sing you a song
I will send you a song
I will sing you a song
I will sing to you
If you promise to send me a song

Wordless Wednesday: Book Flower

Farewell, parting is such sweet sorrow!

Well guys, I'm off to the conference. See you all in a few days!

"It's Gone. It's Done." "Yes Mr. Frodo, It's Over Now."

I know I'm being overly dramatic by the title but....as you can guess it....I SURVIVED EIGHTH GRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeppers folks, as of today, my brain will be allowed to recover for three months before being tortured again. School. is. done. And to celebrate, we got ice cream after music lessons today! Very tasty.

Amongst other things, I'm so happy this week finally came! Because on Thursday, I will be heading off to the homeschool conference my family goes to every year. And I am so excited!

The suitcase is sitting on the couch all packed and ready to go. My bag is packed. And like I said, I'm excited. Or, should I say, over-excited. No, crazy excited! Ahh! Who cares? I'm just really really really excited! Another reason I am so excited is because while there, I will finally get to see one of my good friends again. It's been awhile since we last met up and I have a book I need to get back to her.

I have everything planned out. First place I'm heading after getting settled is of course, THAT AWESOME PLACE WITH ALL THE BOOKS! The Book Fair! I came home with a stack of books last year, and I haven't even read them all yet. Who knows what will happen this year?

My sisters won't be with me the majority of the time, as the older one is volunteering the Children's Conference they are having, and the younger one is going. I was old enough to volunteer, but personally, I would rather spend all my time in the book fair.

I guess that's all I wanted to post about. Sorry it was so short.

Musical Mondays #2

At long last, I'm making a post again. And since it's Monday, do you know what time it is?

**Drum Roll**

That's right, it's time for Musical Monday! And don't worry, I'm not gonna drive you guys crazy with Disney yet.

I know last time I posted something Lord of the Rings related, but I'm also doing the same this week. There are just so many wonderfully composed pieces from that movie and believe me, I had a tough time deciding which one to post. After some debating and some careful thinking, I finally decided on this beautiful song:

In Dreams

When the cold of Winter comes
Starless night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain

But in dreams
(But in dreams)
I can hear your name
And in dreams
(And in dreams)
We will meet again

When the seas and mountains fall
And we come to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
I will go there
And back again
[ Lyrics from:

The Post Without a Title

After I don't know how long, the Internet has returned, as I have also made my joyous return to blogosphere! But where to start...a few things have happened!

My brother went on a trip a few weeks back. It was surprisingly quiet and lonely without him around. I got jealous when I heard how much fun he was having, but then I reminded myself that I would be doing something fun in a couple of months. I was happy when he came back home, but I was extra happy for another reason. Why? Well, while on the trip, he went shopping at a Wal-Mart. He called up later saying he had a surprise for me when he got back. I spent all weekend trying to figure out what it was, but when I did find out, I was ecstatic! Observe:

Oh, is that me in the background? :D

If you had not known already, I have been wanting this game like ever since I first heard of it. I've watched a  million gameplays of it on Youtube and continually dreamed of the day I would actually play it myself. So awesome. If you guys haven't gotten this game yet, I totally recommend it!

I wonder what is wrong with my hair. Last Saturday night, it was my mom vs. my hair in a terror-filled showdown...in other words, my hair tangles easily and my mom was having a fight trying to comb them out of my hair. Sometimes she has to snip through it, and if you saw my tangles you would agree. I mean, seriously. My hair has been like that since I was little. Believe me it hurts when you have your mother ferociously combing at a thick knot in your hair. To make a long story short, my hair is absolutely tangle-free at the moment.

School has been meh. There's only six and a half more weeks...at least I think. I'm super-excited, as my brain will have a chance to rebuild. Yes sir, lots of great things are happening. There's the yearly homeschool conference my family goes to, my 14th birthday(in June!), and summer camp! My life is an adventure right now!

Just recently, my mom and sisters and I went through all our old clothing and sorted them into piles(it's because my mom was thinking of donating most of them, which we did). And believe me, you wouldn't believe how much stuff we found. You should have seen it! It looked like we could open our own thrift store, but we didn't.

Amongst these items, I found old memories. Lots of dresses that belonged to me and my sisters as little kids. Little shoes. Little pants. Little shirts. It makes me miss the days when I was that size and was enjoying life.

I think I've covered the major areas and updates of my life right now. And since I am still reeling from my Sims Medieval Gleefulness, I will leave you with the main theme of the game, which, I might add, is epic!
