Instead of… September 19, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — kristimast @ 4:18 am

This is what we did with our chapel groups instead of dare base;

1. Go get a jump rope to hold onto

2. Walk backward once around the church

3. Do ten jumping jacks

4. Sing a noisy song very loudly [perhaps building up the temple]

5. Go find another group to shake hands with

6. Go say something friendly to one of the teachers

7. Run from the music room to the southwest corner of the property

8. Stand on one foot, flap your arms, and crow like a rooster while laughing wildly

9. Go get a ride on the merry-go-round

10. Go down into the basement and touch the bottom block on the east wall, six blocks from the northeast corner [now that is KS for you!!]

11. Recite a Bible verse in unison

12. Have fun until the bell rings

Pretty cool, huh? It was fun, MJ, Dietrich, Heidi Hershberger and Marita [ I think] are in my chapel group.

Well, you will probably see another composition post soon as I am writing a book report, however it is probably not going to be much like the other one because it has a totally different purpose and I was in a total different mood when I wrote the letter. Cheerio -Kristi

Random Fact: Mom and Dad are telling Trippy how they got together, it is quite humorous if you have not ever heard it then go and beg Dad on bended knees to tell you and he will recluctanly eagerly tell you [there is nothing he loves better] -Kristi

 

Composition September 12, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — kristimast @ 2:02 am

I didn’t have anything better to write about so I am going to give you a letter I wrote a while back for English:

How are you doing? It is long since I have had the pleasure of seeing your face. How ever is the Comte? And little Suzanne, as well as dear Vicomte, is he quite tall? I do hope that Suzanne is at least working on an embroidered quilt. My Evaline has nearly finished hers. And Vicomte, I am sure that he is on his way to becoming a fine huntsman and quite handy with the sword. He does have a fencing tutor, does he not? He should come to England for tutelage. We would receive him or any of you with open arms! Better and better! Why not bring the whole family for a visit? We could meet you at the Bellemere in the country and then proceed to London for the social season! ‘Twould be splendid! And, while we are at it, Suzanne can come out while we are in town! That does make me think, do bring your hoops, they are all the rage and positively no long sleeves, my dear, none whatsoever! They would be totally out of line, and fur is a necessity. I am getting a whole set of fur outerwear. Well, my dear, ‘twould really splendid! I really must say adieu as my seamstress is here for a fitting.                      Farewell

Countess Kristina Georgiana St. Cyr

Well, how do you like it? Mr. Smucker wrote a “good letter” beside it so I suppose it is not to bad.

Leave a comment and I shall thank thee and reccomend thee to thy employers if they be of mine acquaintance.    Ciao, -Kristi

P.S. If you like this I will give you more comp. posts

 

Politics September 4, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — kristimast @ 3:38 am

Well…I am sorry I have not been posting very much lately, and I am not really keeping to my resolution [is not it irritating when you push the slash button a lot of times instead of the backspace button] about posting every day I shall lower my expectations and only try to post very often.

I like politics. The republican convention has finally begun and I am really looking forward to it because I am seriously liking McCains Vice President, so far I have only heard two of her speeches and am looking forward to hearing more of them. She is very inexperienced, but full of fire and very gracious. She will also attract the feminists as she is, of course a woman  and in her speech she said that Clinton had put three million cracks in the glass [meaning the glass that forbids women to become Vice President or President] but that we should, in essence, elect McCain and her and shatter the glass forever [by the way her name is Sarah Palin, she is governor of Alaska]. Here are a few quotes from her latest speech:

“Here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion. I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country.”

“I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town. I was just your average hockey mom, in Alaska, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids’ public education better,”

Before becoming governor, Palin served as mayor of Wasilla, she recounted, adding: “And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”

“Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election. In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.”

Anyway, she had the best speech ever!! And the crowd went seriously wild!!! I really, really like her hes got the experience and shes got the fire! So really, really, really, really, pray that the right person will be chosen.

Here is my favorite Obama quote: ” We… are the ones… we… have been waiting for.”

Well good night, -Kristi

P.S. the dots in the favorite Obama quote are pauses not cut out parts.

Goten Nacht, – Kristi

 

Third Day of School August 23, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — kristimast @ 1:31 am

Well, the third day of school is over and I for one am exhausted!! But no real rest quite yet, tomorrow is Yoder Day, and of course you have to get up early to go to the pancake breakfast you say go to bed as soon as you get home from school but mei you [pronounced may oh{its Chinese} its no] I have to do Chinese![not that I'm not thankful for Frieda teaching me Chinese, on the contrary, I am most grateful indeed, but sometimes you like to pretend to complain about things that you really are very glad are part of your schedule] and then once I check my email and other peoples blogs I have to do piano practice[ditto] and then a catnap is stolen and, dui, I have to eat supper and then finally I get to go to bed! Anyway back to the second thought of not getting rest this weekend, then Sunday’s church and then of course I might catch a catnap then, but the poor Prince and the Pauper needs to get read. People what I am trying to say is that I am umm… assiduous? occupied? operose? unavailable? People I just might be busy!!!! I think thats the word I was looking for.

Well we all enjoy comments and I must confess that I am actually human, if you don’t get the hint, please leave lots and lots of comments to brighten my day and Joy up my heart! Well

Nihow, -Kristi

P.S. I am going to try to get in the habit of posting every day.

 

Second Day of School August 21, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — kristimast @ 10:00 pm

No panic attacks today! I was cool, calm and collected, as my uncles would say. The only thing is that I wasn’t. Well anyway today we played basketball [which I have not been looking forward to] and I didn’t do to bad though, I suppose that I was the worst player there. Don’t believe these KS kids when they say that there not good at basketball, it isn’t true, we had a fairly fast game as far as I know [don't believe me though I'm not a good judge of how fast a game is going]. I owe the  fortunate  event of no unfortunate event during basketball mainly to my dear now-in-Thailand-brother sir Benjamin Andrew, because he inspired me, in days of yore, to become a gold medalist in  basketball. Which I certainly am not [ask anyone who has seen me play]. Well I have to go get ready to go to the Hiding Place rehearsal [yes I got in], so for now,

Adieu, -Kristi

 

First Day of School II August 20, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — kristimast @ 11:30 pm

Well the first day of school is officially over, and I for one am relieved! I didn’t do anything horribly stupid, unless you call getting out the two times that you hit in softball, or being one of three or four people in a class of eighteen to take home homework. I got put up at the front of the class, which I was a bit nervous about, and after Math I had a panic attack were it was just a bit hard to breathe, I’ve had one before so I wasn’t worried, and soon calmed myself down.

Right now I would like to publicly thank Caroline [not sure what her last name is] for making me feel as if I fit in all the other girls really welcomed me and everything but, Caroline just went the second mile and made me feel just like I really… belonged or something. And not just this morning whenever we are at the same gathering she seeks me out and dispells any fears I had about being at strange church or in this case a strange school. Don’t get me wrong the other girls did a great job of welcoming me.

Well peoples I think school shall be tolerable![jk I always thought that I would have no trouble whatsoever tolerating it]

Cheerio, -Kristi

 

First Day of School I August 20, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — kristimast @ 1:16 pm

Today is the first day of school. I’m a bit nervous. I have a big advantage over the really new ones that only know two or three people, because I know all the girls in my class and most of the boys. However I persist in being nervous! I even know my teacher[well sorta]! Any way just pray for me if you think of me.

Toodles, -Kristi

 

Quote of the Night August 7, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — kristimast @ 4:27 am

We were talking about mustaches and why or why not you should have them, and Dad said it doesn’t hurt anything and it’s a small sacrifice for membership in this church. And Dietrich is like “yes it does, it hurts your looks” and then later Heidi was like “can I put that on my blog as Quote of the Day?” and Dietrich said “more like Quote of the Night.” And just now Heidi is like “There’s millions of bugs in the bathroom! Good gravy!”

I have officially decided to leave the posting about Europe to Benji and to  Heidi. Well I’ve gotta go to bed now,

Bonjour, -Kristi
