see. da CRAZY 2nd layer
I don't get what my thing is, but I just LOVE doing different things. And, that doesn't necessarily fall under that bungee jumping and crocodile hunting category. ;) I just love waking up and going "I'm going to rip old wallpaper off today". I don't do it for any particular reason. I just do it. I guess I just couldn't stand the green, yeahhhh I said green, walls anymore. Once I started pulling away the paper, I found ANOTHER layer of wallpaper. I literally moaned. Even though it really cute - and reeeeaallllly old - it was still a pain. hehe I was hoping to find some sort of message from the past, but nope. xD I've always wanted to leave messages for people to find in the future, so I have. (yup, just keep reading below for more stories ;) ;) )
I once discovered a letter in a library book over 50 yrs old, so I replied, and put the letter in the book along with it. I actually barely even remember what it said, I just remember it was a guys handwriting. Simple. Clean. I found a new world in the past that day. :D Also, probably 7 years ago, we were having a wall repaired in our living room, so Bree had the grand idea of leaving a letter in the wall about us! Who knows who will find it.. kinda cool to think about. I guess this is another reason why I journal. It's the people in the past who have affected our now..and we are part of the past. Yeah, real deep right? ;) Someday, someone, will look at my journal and wonder - isn't that awesome?
Sometimes being a big sister is something that is unable to be explained. It means snuggles on the couch. It means asking for Diego books from the librarian. It means teaching them how to crack eggs...and how not to drop them. It means baths and clean pjs. It mean the grumpy and the happy mornings. It means Christmas shopping and birthday cake kisses. It means watching Barney when you hate it. It means putting your phone down and looking into their eyes. It all means something.
What interests you?
Favorite thing to do with siblings?
I love the letter idea! That is so cool! I've always wanted to do something like that! My favorite things to do with my siblings are to play games, do crafts, ( they love getting baths! ) and baking with them, or at least them trying to help! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI know, so cool huh??! :D Aw, that sounds like fun!! I am not really one for crafts. :P I just can't do it. haha!!
DeleteI'm the same! They love crafts but o just can't do them!
DeleteI wish I could do them!
DeleteI really like vintage things-just thinking someone from a different era used or read the same thing maybe a century ago, it is a eye-opening feeling.

Isn't it?? I just love history..and when I come into something more personal, rather than just a story, I'm like WOW this person was REAL! :D
DeleteHow cool to find the letter, Juj!! Did you ever go back and see if someone had replied to the letter you left?
ReplyDeleteWhat store were you at when you took the picture (the one at the very top of this post)? I saw a picture on Bree's blog too and the signs are neat!
Love you, Juj! Have a great weekend!

Hahaa, that is the worst part of the whole story! I CANT remember what the book was!!!!!! XP Like seriously, I've tried to think before, but there are SO many books at our library..its impossible. Sadly. lol!! We actually went to an art Christmas festival! I loved them so much..I would actually love to try to make them sometime. :D Aw, you to Lydia!! :D
DeleteOh! I cracked an egg with my little brother Levi the other day. It was his first time to crack an egg! :) We were making cake mix cookies. :)

Aww! How sweet! I helped Miriam the other day..and well, it didn't end up in the bowl. ;) We cleaned it up and tried again though:D
DeleteOh I love the idea of putting a letter in the wall!!! I've always wanted to do that too . . . but moreso actually FIND a time capsule!! I heard on the news a few months ago that they found a time capsule made by Paul Revere and some other guy. I forget what was in it. ;) It's just all so nostalgic!
ReplyDeleteI love doing soccer with my bros. ;)
Me too! Since we live in an older house, I'm always checking little hideaways...ust hoping. ;) Oh yeah! I think I heard about that too. Did you hear that they found King Hezekiah's ringy thingy???! It looks soo cool. :D Haha, yes, you do, don't you? ;)
Deleteaw, I love what you said about being a big sister! So lovely.

Hahaa, thanks! Isn't it crazy how little sibs are? ;)
DeleteI definitely know how it is to be random! I don't usually just blurt out things, but inside my mind, WHEW. i'll have all these ideas, and since i'm probably not yapping away about it, when i just go and do it, everyone's sort of like, "Huh?" ^_^
