Well its starting. The craziness continues as the first snow flakes are falling to begin the third large snowfall of this winter. This one is just days on the heals of the last one. So far its more then flurries but can't call it actually snowing.

Looking back

Day off -- what to do? Sort through memories.

See I was given the pleasure of being homeschooled for 12 years. For some of those years my mother had us put together what was dubbed "lap packs" (dont ask me why :P ) where we compiled that months work into a cool collage of flaps and such.




I realized just how into it I got as I went back through this material. I can't believe the detailed some of my projects were. Some of the lap packs were intricately put together as well.


I am still SIGNIFICANTLY grateful for the invention of the computer and SPELL CHECK! I have already used it more then 5 times in the past 5 sentences *blushes* yah mom tried really hard but it never sunk in. I did spelling till I graduated highschool and looking through my tests I needed it! Sad I know


Another cool thing is my writing projects. Thats basically all I am saving out of all this stuff. I loved to write (despite my spelling issues) and still do. Some of the things I wrote about are funny, some serious, some just school motivated (reports on places like Germany would not be on my list of fun things to do). I saw a writing project labeled September 11, 2001 and I haven't had the heart to read it just yet. It was written when the whole tragedy was still fresh in my heart and I know it will carry emotion and something such a tender heart should never had to witness.

Maybe I will retype some of them up and post them here -- who knows.

Organized Chaos

Its highly annoying when I am to wide awake to go to sleep yet to tired to do anything?

So I sit and make lists in my head of things to do including what I should post here on my blog - how ironic is that.

Hows everyone's taxes coming along? I was so anxious to get mine started and then my hard drive went on me so I had to wait to get it replaced. And now that its fixed I havent had the time to start. Looks like thats on tomorrows order of business. Im going to try to stay as organized as I can with it, I'm usually pretty good but you know how it gets when you are busy and not really making the effort.

Keeping things organized and tidy is something I enjoy but have a hard time doing with my small room. Its not that I am ungrateful its just hard to have one space be 4 things. Office, bedroom, doggrooming, hair dressing. Ever try to mesh that many things in one room and keep it organized? its like organized chaos. :(

Blizzard of 2010

So yup it was a blizzard!

crazy huh? Somewhere around 24-28 inches but whos counting once it pasts 10!

TERRIBLE about updating

WOW its been ages since I updated this.

Well for the goat end of my life we are gearing up for kidding season as breeding is all done at least I hope the last doe took *fingers crossed*

This year I have 4 does due within a couple week span around Easter weekend AHHH and then one due the end of June (silly doe decided she didnt like bucks till just the other day).

Right now our area is bracing for the next large storm of the winter. We had a huge storm back in December (record breaking for that time of year) with 24 inches of snow. This next storm is suppose to be close to that with 12-24 inches predicted.

I hope to go back to the normal commentaries of my life here with goats -- stay tuned.

Love at first sight

Ok this girl is Baci (Bah CHee)

She is the most adorable dog yet!!! If I

could have taken her home I would have.

She was an absolute doll on the table!!!

Demo day 1

The teacher Brenda C. did a demo day with some dogs. We were able to do some cutting and clipper but she did most of the finish because these dogs had special patterns we are not familiar with yet.

First is Hershey -- an American Cocker Spaniel

Here is Sophie - a CockaPoo

Brenda is showing us how to do a fluff dry

I was the one to shape her legs, head and ears with scissors :D

School days

So today was day 5 of school and I thought I would do a little back track in pictures.

Yesterday we groomed two dogs and gave a bath to two others (only have pictures for one).

This here is JD. She is a

Boxer mix and aprox 6 months old. She was very good for her bath and blow dry. This was her first time.

This here is Harry before

he wasnt to keen on things at first.

And After

Here is Mandy and my classmate
