Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Ice cream and cheesecake all around! in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 1 month ago
@Hope YAY!!! All the dessert is probably gone by now, but I like cheescake at any rate. Unlike my alien sister.
Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS! -

@Ethryndal She’d forgive you. Therefore, you are forgiven.

@Christi-Eaton Hey, our baby came last night!! Abigail Julia Flournoy. She has lots of hair. 😀

Oh, and I forgot to ask also—has he found another job?
-
He started one two weeks ago 🙂 However, it isn’t the ideal fit, so he’s still looking around. It is much better than his last job, though. 🙂

Whoohoo! I do hope he finds a perfect fit though.

Thanks!

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Hello! in the forum Start HERE 9 years, 1 month ago
I have a few ideas (and rough drafts) for a novel. It just takes me a while to gather all of my thought on paper in an orderly fashion.
Nice! Keep at it and I’m sure something good will happen. 😀

@EvangelinaTroy_Rose I actually don’t write; not stories. I did a few years ago, but they were awful. I daresay I could do better today. 😛 But for now I’m just a bibliophile who adores good stories (of course), and I like helping other writers with ideas too. Not to mention the good company on this website is totally something to be around. ;)…[Read more]

@Ethryndal @GracieGirl Count me in about Luke. Your apology goes to my sister Elizabeth though @Ethryndal. 😛

@EvangelinaTroy_Rose Hello Karina. *waves* We heard about that from Celia Craig…I was praying for y’all then too. And you know, it’s cliche to say this, but it’s good Ian isn’t hurting anymore; he’s better There.
I hope your family is doing well. 🙂What do you like to write?

@Kina-Lamb How kind. XD She certainly deserved any salutes to be given.

Wow @Kina-Lamb! One of our great-grandmas lived to 104. 🙂
Okay, good to know you still like us. Bye! *waves*

Hey everybody, if you remember the homeschool mom I talked about on page 8 of this topic—Mrs. Keusal—she had a cancerous brain tumor… Well, the treatment hasn’t helped, and the tumor grew back, bigger; she’s gotten worse. It’s really dangerous, and she and her family are having a bit of a rough time. Any prayers still would be a great…[Read more]

Hey @Jess, how’s your dad and his eyes doing?

@emma-flournoy, thanks for asking 🙂 He is doing much better. He does have to get one more minor cataract surgery as a result of the bubble they put in after surgery, but that isn’t a big deal. Thanks for praying! 🙂

Hm. Well, have a belated welcome. *welcome* 🙂
I hope Mackenzie will come here if she hasn’t already. -

Then Vader started choking him. In that scene, I was almost rooting for Krennic.
Me too! But even if there’s a good villain, you can still root against him. I know plenty of villains who I think are totally awesome villains, but I still root against them. (Sometimes. Lots of the time.)

@Ethryndal Oh stop, you’re making me wish I could see it just for that. I guess you don’t need to be kicked out of the Jane Austen fan-club then. 😛 But Frank still drives me nuts.

@Ethryndal @GracieGirl Nope, haven’t. *shrug* I’ve heard from reliable sources they’re too stupid and badly acted to waste time on. 😛 But really, Obi-Wan was that good? Hm. Basically all I know about him, aside from having watched some fight scene clip from YouTube with him in it, is that he’s played by the same guy who played Frank Churchill in…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Congratulations!!! *throws confetti* That’s so exciting! I was thinking about you guys just the other day. Thanks for letting me know! That’s such a sweet name too.
*hugs you* Thanks Christi. 🙂
How’s your BatB play coming? Have you started practice yet?
Yes! We have had two rehearsals already. Our show is going to be over Memorial Day weekend so we don’t have nearly as much as we did for Les Mis. It’s turning into a fun show already, though. I’m enjoying myself and my role is quite fun.
So besides Abigail coming and everything, what adventures have you been on lately?
Wonderful. 😀 Hope it all goes splendidly.
Weeeelll…there’s a lot of me trying to stop being irritable and depressed with all the stuff I’m needing to do, and our current busyness, and headaches which so opportunely seem to have gotten worse lately and make it harder to do everything. I certainly DON’T begrudge Mom and Abigail’s time, but I’m…[Read more]
First of all, @emma-flournoy I want to say that I appreciate you being open. I know how hard it is to be vulnerable, I’ve had to be open myself the other day, and I know it’s not easy. Second, I understand how you feel so well. Lately, I’ve struggled with depression myself, so I know how hard and frustrating life is. You definitely have a lot on…[Read more]
@Christi-Eaton why do your responses always make me feel like crying happy tears?!
Thank you so much for your sympathy and prayers! And really, I’d feel guilty about NOT being open. I don’t like being vulnerable, and it is hard to let people know sometimes, but I’d feel dishonest if I pretended all is fluff when it isn’t.
I love that nickname!…[Read more]
First of all, I have watched all the Lord of the Rings movies, multiple times. And please have Kate message me, I’d love to send you mail. I have a whole pile of stationary, and I believe some of it is just waiting for me to send it to you 😀
Also, happy tears are the best kind of tears, so as long as I’m causing you to cry them instead of sad…[Read more]
Nice. The movies are still good as well.
And so I will! (Well actually, she just told me you already asked and she sent it. So, there we are. :D)
Yes, happy tears are a good feeling. We’re okay. 😉
I am so very fond of my new big sister as well, and Christi, thank you so much for your kindness and mentorly-ness. <3
Talk to you soon, and my heart…[Read more]
@emma-flournoy
I just got back from taking my dog for a walk and sending some mail on its way 😀 Welp, now I best get ready and be off to rehearsal!
Talk to you later little sister of mine!
Eppi wanted to send her respects too, eh? 🙂 I’m looking forward!
Hope your rehearsal goes well, big sister of mine.
@emma-flournoy
Hey girly, how are you? I figured it’s been a little while so I should check in on you 😀 What are you up to? How’s life?
Hey @Christi-Eaton! <3
Life's still hectic, but I've managed to be a little less…grumpy, with God's help. Tryin' to be cheerful, and stay cheerful, when there's so much to do…but I couldn't improve a bit without God's help. We've been staining one of our log cabins (you knew we have rental cabins, right?) for the last couple days, so that's…[Read more]
@emma-flournoy
I’m glad you have managed to maintain a better attitude. I know it’s hard, sometimes I go through what I like to call my “dark moods, ” and I know the struggle of getting out of it, by the grace of God alone, I can tell you that much. Yes, I did know you rented cabins, and I’m glad to hear you are almost finished staining them! That…[Read more]
Eh yes, “dark moods”. That describes mine well. *wry smile*
Well I’m glad you’re well! Hope you remember those lines and survive with everything else, and here: *gives you more hot tea*
I’m excited to reply to the letter. 😀
Talk to ya later big sister of mine! <3
*happily takes the tea* Thanks, girly! I look forward to your reply. I shall talk to you later, love <3 I'm praying for you.
Thank you friend. 🙂
@emma-flournoy, Hello love, how are you? I’m just checking in on you as always 🙂
@emma-flournoy
Your letter literally just came in the mail!!! *runs off to read it*
@Christi-Eaton *grins much*
Well, I’m pretty much the same as I was when I wrote the letter (you’re going to start thinking I’m depressed all the time :P) …quite bogged down and headaches not helping. I did finish a book I was reading today though, so that’s good. The little things count. Even if I’ll need time for reading the next in line now.…[Read more]
@emma-flournoy
*big sigh*
Yeah, I understand what that’s like to be okay and then not and then about the same for a long time, I’ve been like that myself, though I rarely talk about it to anyone. Normally, when someone asks me how I am, I reply with a two word lie “I’m fine.” So I won’t lie to you. But honestly, I hope I don’t sound as horribly…[Read more]
@Christi-Eaton Awww you are so SWEET!
I will absolutely be praying for you. Busted hearts are no good. 🙁 🙁
*gives really big bear hug back*
I hope your day tomorrow is amazing. <3
@emma-flournoy
Thank you, love <3 I hope you have an amazing day tomorrow too, I also already got your letter written today…(I shamefully ignored most of my other duties today because I just didn't have the heart to get anything done) But your letter was written so I'll probably get it mailed tomorrow. 😀 It was a happy distraction this…[Read more]
Aw, thanks. <3
I really hope you're feeling your go-out-and-conquer charismatic ESTJ self soon. It's so much easier to do life when you're actually feeling enthusiastic, not just pretending on the outside. 😛
Love you Christi.
@emma-flournoy
Well, today is a new day and I am feeling much better. Last night my big sister, Sarah, was able to Skype me which we hadn’t done in a long time and we just chatted for just under and hour and a half. It was really good and I slept super well which is something that also hasn’t been happening a lot lately. So I’m going to pump out a…[Read more]
@Christi-Eaton Well if anyone can cheer people up, it’s Sarah. 😀
I’m so glad you slept well and are feeling better, and good luck with all your school! I can’t wait to get the letter either. 😉
Thank you so much! <3
@emma-flournoy
You are so right 😀
I got a ton of schoolwork done and got back from the park a little bit ago. I also mailed letters so I’ve been having a much better day, how about yourself? How are you doing today?
@Christi-Eaton Yay!! That’s wonderful.
My day hasn’t been too bad. I went listening for turkeys early this morning with my dad and sister Elizabeth, and tomorrow I’m turkey hunting.
My head’s not been too bad today, and it wasn’t hot today ( 😛 heat never helps), and though I haven’t had time for a ton of stuff I’ve generally had a decent day. 😀
@emma-flournoy Wow, turkey hunting, sounds fun! I’m glad it wasn’t hot for you there, (it was about 90 here today) Well, I know you went to bed a long time ago but I think I’m going to roll off to bed a little early (its 9:30 here) I have rehearsal and a birthday party so I won’t be around and I’m sure with all your turkey hunting you won’t be…[Read more]
@Christi-Eaton Well, we didn’t get anything. The turkeys decided to be mostly quiet this morning, so we couldn’t find ’em well. But I DID have a good time listening to a bunch of country music with my dad and brother William as we drove. 😀 So not quite a morning wasted.
Hope ya had a good rehearsal and party. 🙂
Ah, bummer about not getting anything, I’m glad you still had a fun day, mine was fairly decent. A lot of things happening. I’m so tired. It’s been a really long day between rehearsals and parties and other things so I am simply wrecked.
Hope you’re feeling better now. I got your lovely letter today. 🙂
@emma-flournoy
I’m so glad it came! I enjoyed writing it. That alone made me feel better that day. Plus that piece of scrapbook paper was just begging to be an envelope <3 And yes, I am feeling better, I'm so darn close to being done with school! I'm ready for Summer. How was your day girly?
I love homemade envelopes. 😀
Not too bad…we went to a funeral today, the funeral of that Mrs. Keusal who I’ve talked about some on the Prayer Request topic, if you’ve seen. It was sad, but good too. She’s resting in the arms of Jesus safe from all troubles now.
And then we had a bit of fellowship afterwards, with a potluck lunch. There were…[Read more]
Ah, yeah someone in my church totally unexpectedly just passed away so I know what that feels like. That’s cool that you get to see the Lamb family! No one here at KP lives anywhere near me, not even within a few hours, (with the exception of Joy Mastron and Anne Swiftblade (her real name is Sarah van den Ham) because they are long time friends of…[Read more]
Oh well. 😀 At least there’s still the Internet.
