Blogs: 5 eeen 1.

So blogger, I think I am here to stay after a crazy week at our county fair without non-failing internet and constant cell phone service. I'm not going to update everything from my time at fair, but am bringing in a few of the highlights for each day.

Thursday: I monitored the barn for 4 hours. It was boring. It consisted of entertaining the animals, watering the animals, raking the alleyway, and cleaning up *messes.* Bleh. I then got my animals ready for the show the next day.

Friday: I had two shows, one for the exotic animals, and another for the goats. Of course, they were both at the same time. So I said my things about my mulefoot piggy, and then sprinted to show my goats. I recieved a blue on my hog, which was fine. It was my fourth time bringing them, and I'd won twice prior. My goat still had a blue ribbon, but I got last place in the class. Meh. Then after my shows, I had to work in the 4H food stand for 3.5 hours. There, I lost most of the respect for fried foods, which I had only .47% anyway. That night, I pretended to be social.

Saturday: I pretended to be social with people I really didn't know well. It was awesome. More expanse about this at a later date. I also watched the kiddie tractor pull. It was fantastic. I think Kelly was there too.

Sunday: On Sunday, it was humid. Ew. I did a lot of fun stuff, like the Ag Olympics. We had several events, which included Potato Sack Races, Wheelbarrow Races, Popcorn Face Masks, and a rope pull. The rope pull was extremely intense, I wish I entered just for it, but I was helping so it was a blast, and I got free ice cream. :D

Today: I went on college visits. w00t. -.-

I have to do something "family-esque" now. Have a lovely night, world.

Cumin Use: Meh. It hasn't changed.

Earrings: Naked. o.o

Days until apocalypse: 8

Corn, Fair, and Dirt.

Hello world,

It is me again. Hannah. The blogger who almost didn't blog today. How are you? Anyway, I only have 56 minutes to write this, so I'd better get kicking.

Today was again, exhausting. I woke up, and found 4 missed calls from a strange number. Apparently, my 10 year old cousin got a cell phone. Yes, I know. Our town has 1000ish people in it at the MAX. Gahh.

Anyway, what I was supposed to be blogging about. We did corn today. That means picking, shucking, cooking, and freezing it. I picked and shucked. Then, I loaded up the truck and headed to the fair to set up things for tomorrow. Also, I should note that I was covered in mud, old clothes, and messed hair during this time. I'm sure the people at the horse show didn't know what to think.

Later, I had to do this singing thing that I agreed to. I sang the Rainbow Connection. I think I started out well, then I just totally fell to pieces. Eh, oh well, at least I did it. More information on this topic will probably not be disclosed. >.<

Tommorow, I have to be up rather early to load goats and hogs. So I'm cutting this blog short. Tomorrow will be filled with more information to provide the 3 of you who read this, and the .03% that of which you care. Goodnight, Blogger.

BEDA? I'd rather be in bed.

HELLO BEDA POST #3!

It is me again, your currently faithful blogger.

Today was a really long day, I am exhausted.

I awoke this morning and finished my 4H paperwork, I finally left the house around noon, and took the 35 minute journey to National (NAY-SHUN-UL), IA, where our fairgrounds are located. When I got there, it was chaos; crazy parents, screaming children, panting pets, sweating judges, and swarming County Council members.

I was one of the County Council members, noted by my hunter green and white shirt. I went through the judging and got eight of my thirteen held back as possible state exhibits. Although none of them made it on, I still received 8 purple ribbons, and 5 blues. My sister, however did make it on with her light manipulation project. (So, technically, I also did since I took the picture displayed on her cover.) There were a few projects that I didn't expect more than a blue ribbon on that recived purples, so, I remained content.

I stayed at the fair 3 hours after judging to help set up the state fair booth, it was rathed exhausting...and it probably didn't help that I forgot to eat today. I got up at 7:30, and had only had a piece of gum by the time it reached 3 o'clock. Luckily, my friend Lauren was given 4 dozen free cookies, so she gave me two cookies. They were tasty.

Moving on to another subject. I was informed tonight that I have been asked to be Shepard for a program called New Beginnings! It's a spiritual retreat weekend dedicated to youth in grades 7-9 sponsored by the Episcopal Church. I'm pretty excited to have been asked, and probably will accept. Accepting means that I will have to dedicate a weekend in both the fall and spring. Which, honestly, is one of the best things I could have asked for.

Tomorrow is another big day, so I'm off to bed. (So. Tired.) Goodnight Blogosphere.
