Home is Where You Hang Your Hat

Well I'm all moved in now!

I can't belive that I'll be living here for the next 5 months! this is soo crazy.

So far it's all good. I went out to get some more things to decorate my room with and currently hating Wal-mart for not having Lava lamps!....I also forgot my fish tank back home.....which means no froggies......at least not until March!!!!!!! which sucks. Maybe I'll buy a little tank for them. Or get Laurel to bring it up???

Well let's see....I'm living in the basement of one of my moms' colleages. She also has a cute little dog named Missy...who I'll put picture of on here some time.

I got this awesome poster for my room and it's a poster of *dramatic drum roll* The General Lee! My favorite car of all times. So I'll get that up asap!

Can you belive it....it's only 10 after 8 and I'm tired....which is weird for me since I'm usually really nocturnal.

Thanks to my spell checker mother I found out that Northren is actually spelled Northern! UGH, can you tell I was really preoccupied when I made this blog?!

Well, I'm going to bed now....I was gonna watch a movie but I'm too tired. Hope all is well with you guys!

I'm on the road again....

Well, I'm writing this now since I know I wont have time tomorrow and I wont stay up when I get to Whitehorse at 3 AM and write!

I'll post pictures of my new home soon as well as the difference in my room size! My new one isn't even a third of my one at home.

So, I don't know what to write!!! Maybe I'll have more to say when I move to Whotehorse. I found out that basically my whole life fits into 1 large, 1 medium and 1 small duffle bags! Pretty creepy! Well I'd better go back to watching Tarzan...(yes, I am proud to say that at 14 I am still a disney nut). Hope all is well with you guys out there!

Sleeping Beauty

Well I'm writting this while watching Sleeping Beauty....and I've also got one sleeping near my feet keeping them warm. Yes, my big fat black cat.

On other hands, I'm leaving soon and I can't belive it! I know I've been saying that alot. I still have to pack but, my school is coming along!

According to my dad the fox have pretty much moved along their way to let the wolves take over. It's kind of sad really. I really miss them, they're so pretty and sleek.

You know what. I think disney princesses have it too good. I wish my life was a story book romance....but hey, who am I kidding! Maybe my life will have a story book ending, who knows.

I guess I should go and practice my speech for 4-H.

Life in the wild!

Well, let's see...nothing new! I'm moving in count them 13 days! and 3 out of those 13 days I'm writing exams!!!!!!! YUCK.

Anyway, as I said in my first post my horse is being terrorized by the local wildlife. Wildlife being 5 fox and a pack of wolves and possibly a cougar but haven't seen him around since October! All this wildlife reminds me of when I was in public school and every morning for a year there was a red fox who'd sit on the tree line and wait for the bus with me. When the bus came and I got on he'd leave and when I'd come home from school he'd be sitting there waiting for me. I never gave him a name but I thought it was really cool! In the winter no matter how cold it was he'd still sit out there with me. Although he never got enough courage to actually approach me and I was fine with that since I was so young.

Anyway, all that recalling of the past made me think that I should name these animals. I know they're a problem but still it's fun and it's a way to tell each one apart!

Like this past summer bear hunting with my dad, we came to figure out that there was a big grizzly living near by and he carried off a whole carcass without leaving a mark! So I named him Tank.

There was also a year old black bear cub who'd lost his mother that I saw and he called out like they do when they've lost someone and I was soo sad! I named him Baloo and you'd be happy to know he's doing fine!!! He was skinny this spring but after a few months he'd grown into a nice looking bear.

Another black bear we encountered was a big female with cubs. She ran through a patch of sand, yes sand and left NO tracks at all!!! So she got the name Black Bear Lightfoot.

Okay back to the other animals! We've got 2 red fox and 3 cross fox. Hopefully I'll get pictures of them but they seem to like my dad better!

Big Red fox - is yet to be named
Small red fox- Todd (like the fox from Fox and the hound)

Big Cross Fox- Sly
Small Cross Fox - Schizo (as in Schizophrenia because he ran into my dad literally and was all jumpy)
Last years cross fox kit- Fluffy (he looks like a fluff ball!)

Now as for the wolves.....there are too many to name! But the ones we've had around here were the Alpha female and one of her puppies!

The cougar....well....I'm not sure yet.

Hope all is well with you guys! I'll try and get pictures of each one before I leave.....mind you the only one my dad has seen since the wolves arrived is Fluffy! So, that tells you how well they coincide!

North of 60


Hey all,

This is my first post in this blog and I thought I'd just write something for the heck of it! Basically I started this blog because I don't get to talk to alot of you often so, now you can see whats' new in my life!

As the title states...I'm north of 60! Right now...it's warmer then it has been in a long time! Although it's still snowing like crazy! Right now I'm hustling to get ready for my big move even farther north!!!! Yahoo Whitehorse here I come! I'll be going to public school for the first time in 3 years now so we'll see how it turns out!


Other then that...winter is still the same! My horse is terrorized by the local wildlife, and my cat needs door to door service because she hates getting her paws wet!

I'll try to keep up with posting here as much as possible! Between babysitting, school, packing, and planning things for 4-H, I seem to have little time for myself! I guess it's better to face the real world before you go off and leave home then going to college or university and totally freaking out because you can't handle the stress! I hope all is well were everyone is!

Have a great new year!
