  • Good morning! I cannot sleep past 8 apparently. I stayed up until 11:30 last night. I know, big deal. But I was trying to make myself sleep past 8. I did not succeed. I have to make myself go fill out applications today.…

  • I woke up at 8 this morning to help my parents paint the hall to the bedrooms and the living/dining rooms. And now I think I'm done for the day- I'm pooped. I really am tired. I might take a shower and just take a nap. O…

  • Yay! I finished my book- very interesting. I got a flip-flop chain mail thing today...and I'm actually doing it. Oh brother. But hey, if I get a few flip flops from it, I'll be happy. I felt like an 8-year old yester…

  • Wow, I almost forgot what I was going to blog about today. Haha, oh my. I've been reading This Heavy Silence for over two weeks now. I read the first half at Glendo, and then the book got lost for a while when I moved my…

  • My Aunt Ruth (who died of cancer when I was 12-ish) once gave me this little key-chain name thing with a poem on it. It was one of those fashionable things to give kids back then. I once saw how they did it at a card sho…

  • I woke up at 5am. Sad day indeed. But that's when my brother's alarm whent echoing through the entire house since there are no doors and little carpet. I'm tired. I forget where I put my glasses. My screen i s blurry- I…

  • I am not usually such a pessimistic person, but my house has literally been torn out from under my feet. We got new carpet today. Do you know what that means? That means that on Saturday and Sunday I cleaned out my entir…

  • Okay, okay! Mission accomplished! I'm up at 1:47 in the morning. Although I thought I was going to fall asleep at Bekah and Kephas'. And I did fall asleep on the ride home (good thing I have a bro to drive me). So I caug…

  • I'm scaring me!

    Whatever it is in my body that tells me when to sleep is pertinaciously annoying. I don't want to go to bed at 11 every night and wake up at 7!!! Grrr!!! What happened to staying up till 1 and waking up at 9? Dumb inter…

  • Ok. Much more cheerful. So, I have no clue what to blog about. Nothing exciting has happened to me yet today, well almost nothing. My bird is driving me nuts. She likes to climb on my bookshelf and chew on my books...wh…

  • Blah. That is my current mood. Blah. Today was a long day. I really didn't do much, but I did a lot of socializing. I am truly an introvert. I know I have my times when I'm really extroverted. But now I feel introverted.…

  • Well, yesterday was my last day babysitting. I took the girls to play in the fountains at the Promenade, and then to get ice cream. I was like a super-hero! Haha. Anyway. Here's a couple of pictures of our last day. I'm …

  • I'm stressed. In other news...I wanted to share my little gifts for the girls I babysit. They're simple, but I made them so, whether it means more to them or not, it means more to me. They match the colors of the girls'…

  • Ha. I love this song! ^ I was listening to the radio today, and it was playing. "And lately the weather has been so bi-polar, and Consequently so have I." And I though of Amy who told me I was being bi-polar about things…

  • Here's a few pictures of my fun with Pam, Taryn, Mark, Ryan, and Libby at Glendo this last weekend. I didn't take many because I didn't like having my camera out next to all the sand an water. But these are nice enough. …

  • Ok. My Lang. Acq. paper is done, and faxed. It cost me $14 dollars to fax it!!! I'm packed for Glendo. I feel like I'm bringing my whole room. I hate packing for something I've never done before, I don't know what t…

  • I feel fired.

    So, I had decided that I really couldn't handle babysitting for these people anymore. They're always canceling on me, asking me to clean their house, and rounding down on my paycheck. And today was the day I was going to…

  • Today is different. I'm trying to finish this ridiculous paper for my language acquisition class. And I'm listening to my Rat Pack Christmas CD. I know. But you know, they do say "Christmas in July." I'm even wearing a …

  • I woke up in a fog this morning...or rather, I woke up in the fog this morning!

  • A friend posed a good question to me tonight. We were talking about giving things to God, and the question was something along the lines of "How do you really give everything to Him, without still having it in your hands…

  • The Campout, in picture book form... ;-)

    Well, we had fun despite the rain and lack of people. I'm sad that we got rained out before Lee, Delilah, and Charlie could come. But what could we do? I'm still glad I got to go to Brainard Lake with my brother though. …

  • Three cheers for camping! (I said that with an english accent.) I hope I don't forget something.... [Don't tell anyone I said this...but my brother is just like my dad. Yikes! Crazy kid. All stressed about packing, a…

  • I have decided that people need to update their blogs. I'm tired of reading my own. I need some good reading material people!

  • So far, so annoying. I think I've managed to annoy my whole family with my over exuberant, jumpy, silly, crazy, and yes, annoying self. I'm just so excited for today!!! Hey. If anyone from small group comes…

  • Gooey

    You know how you sometimes go on a nature walk? Well, about once a year my friend Laura and I go on a "revisiting our childhood" walk. We did that tonight. It never starts out as anything but a walk to be girly and discu…

  • Hello blisters on my feet.

    There is something about having blisters on your feet after girls night out that makes the whole event really worth while! Mind you I'm saying this at 1 in the morning, and am currently off my feet. The Jeans and Heels n…
