The First Day

     This was the first day of the rest of my life; just being a year older. It's funny, you always think that it will feel much different to turn "that age" but really, the difference is only you realizing the responsibility that you have now.

Huh, thinking about the possibilities of my future, the responsibilities, and the wonderful ways in which God will work has just got me very... thoughtful; prayerful. 

Whelp, later y'all:)



PS: I did an interview of sorts over at Erin's awesome blog: http://writedreamrunsing.blogspot.com/2013/05/tell-me-eli.html
Take a little look if you feel so inclined:)

Pet Peeves

(Happy May!)

So, yes. These things have been getting on my nerves lately. It takes quite a bit to annoy me, but here are my top five; ranked in no particular order.

Open Doors

This bugs me to no end when I walk in and see every single door open. Don't ask me why, there's just something inherently wrong with that. At least to me:)

Open Cupboards

The same thing as doors, but smaller!

Ladybugs:

It's getting warmer and warmer (it was 40 degrees yesterday!) so the ladybugs have hatched (?) or done whatever they do and now they're back inside. 

They are everywhere, literally, everywhere. Whether alive or dead, they stink. Very badly. Last year there were so many  we had to go around vacuuming the little buggers up. I fear the same may happen this year.

Tangled Earphones

I know they aren't that tangled, I wasn't willing to do that and have to untangle them:P I think another one is tangled Christmas lights! I just thought of that! Ha, yeah that's always a fun time of decorating:)


The last and most certainly my biggest pet peeve:

                                                                 This.

Oh internet. You bring out the best and the worst in us:)

Honorable mention: Deleting things by accident and having no way to get them back. Like, pictures. One-of-a-kind, extra rare, special time-lapse photos. Yes, this just happened to me:(  

So, do any of these things bother you as much as they do me? 
Seriously, I've been posting "grumpy" stuff on here lately, I should do a happy post next time! (Unless something bad happens, then I'll have to do another grumpy post. :P )

Blogger Photos Aren't Working (But Now They Are)

At least for me. When I post anything, the pictures don't show up in Blogger's dashboard. ? What is this? Also, my email subscribers are telling me that the photos don't show up in the email either!

So, guys, I don't want you to think that I'm not posting pictures:P You just have to go to my actual blog to see them. 
Grrr... Technology is so awesome and neat... Until it stops working! I'm trying to find out what's wrong, let you know later! 

I'm sorry my dear followers. 

To make you feel better, here are some M&M's!

[Revision: Okay, so now they are working. I'll just archive this post, but if you have any questions, you can email me elijokeefe (at) gmail (dot) com or just leave a comment:)]

This Should Be Spring

I should be walking through green grass just starting to grow,
I should be hearing birds sing old songs that they know,
I shouldn't be trudging through melting snow,
I shouldn't be slipping on ice and... just, NO.

This should be spring.
How disappointing.

I took these pictures almost exactly one year ago:

Ah, how I miss the sweet air of spring. But alas and alack, spring has not sprung where I am from.

:P I'm not discontent, I'm just yearning for the lovely change of seasons that is supposed to happen about now. 

See ya soon raccoon:)

 

PS: As I am writing this, it has started to lightly snow.

Seriously? It is already lightly covering the porch. It is lightly pretty, but I would rather the light sun, lightly lighting the grass. That's a little light humor for ya;)
