going to the grocery store in virginia is always an experience. really, doing anything in virginia is an experience but the grocery store never fails to deliver on memorable moments. first, i have to let you know that virginians are very protective of their grocery stores. it's like their grocery store of choice is their favorite uncle and if you dare say anything bad about their store they will cut you. recently one of the local favorites, ukrops, sold out. they're all called martins now (i always want to call them henry's... and generally refer to it as the store formerly known as ukrops). this left a lot of people feeling confused, betrayed and kind of like their uncle got a sex change. nothing wrong with that, it's just not the same. so as ukrops/martins has begun to fall from the good graces of the virginians this has left some room for the other markets to move in.
first it was the radio ads by food lion (which i'm afraid of shopping at... i don't want to battle a lion for groceries! near diane's house food lion is called bloom. i'll shop there. it isn't as scary). food lion's ads went some thing along the lines of 'food lion is the only grocery store in virginia that has been in the family for fifty years... we'd never sell out or get a sex change.' they were obviously pandering to those who felt betrayed by their old family favorite.
next kroger decided to up the ante and relocated about a mile down the road to a bigger, brand new store. the kroger opened yesterday. today we ran out of vegetables so i was sent to the kroger. wow. so we pull up to a GIANT parking lot. and it was COMPLETELY full. in my head i think 'there must be a lot of people working.' when really i should have thought 'this shopping experience is going to be a nightmare.' after circling the parking lot and waiting for someone to leave and me shouting 'come on grandma, back it up!' we were finally able to secure a safe place to leave the car. the parking lot was odd b/c there were several cars parked haphazardly in the lot... barely in the lines, half way out into the lane. in my brain i think the people were so excited to get into the kroger that they just stopped their cars where ever and ran in without a care for what people were going to key into the side of their vehicle.
we walk through the sliding doors into a grocery wonderland. the first thing i see is a man in a tux playing a baby grand piano. in the middle of the day. a tux in the middle of the day?! these people mean business. caitlin and i make our way to the produce section, which has a nice floating sign that lets us know it's not referred to as the produce section, but rather 'the garden.' we collect our fruits and veges and make our way through the bakery section. we were distracted by some fancy cakes and we start discussing whether or not purchasing one is a good idea. i decide against it and say 'well if these were pumpkin pies i'd buy one.' i turn around and what do i find? not one but TWO tables of pumpkin pies. my hands were tied. i had *just* said i would buy a pumpkin pie if there was one... knowing, of course, that no one sells pumpkin pies in the summer. the table was even decorated with harvest-y decor, as if to say, 'we realize we shouldn't have these yet, so we've placed out these decorations to get the pumpkin pie gods off our tracks.' so i get a pumpkin pie and some cool whip b/c i have no choice and we make our way to the check out line.
as a side note i feel pretty fortunate to get to buy stuff for my job. it affords me the opportunity to purchase things in bulk from a store that does not sell things in bulk. for example, today i had to buy 15 avocados, 25 green peppers and 25 boxes of mushrooms. inevitably, the checker will try to guess what i'm going to do with all my stuff and they're always wrong. it's awesome.
anyway, we're waiting in the line and o magazine is there with oprah on the cover. i can't stand that woman but today she seemed to be calling out from the cover of the magazine 'welcome to kroooOOOooooger!' every time i glanced at the magazine i would laugh at the idea of oprah being there welcoming people to this new grocery store, which is evidently the biggest thing to happen in the west end since, well the ukrops changed to martins. (attention west enders: *please* get out more.)
anyway after the groceries are purchased we head to the most miserable part of any shopping experience. the kid who follows you to the car. HATE IT. so, ukrops decided it was good customer service to take everyone's groceries to their car. and now everyone else thinks they need to do it too. i don't want people going with me b/c 1. you have to make *akward* small talk 2. i can never find my car under pressure 3. i can do it myyyyyyyyself. i have often tried to refuse help, but they are tricky. they transfer your groceries into a different type of cart and then they say to you ' would you like assistance to your car?' and i say 'NO SIR I DO NOT.' to which they always reply 'well i can't let you take this cart outside...' because i'm not properly trained in the usage of their fancy bag boys carts, i guess. to which i reply ' well, i guess we're at an impasse. and since i've already paid for those groceries, lets do this.'
the worst thing is i generally walk around trying to look i'm saying 'don't talk to me... i don't like strangers' with my face, which, for what ever reason, says to richmonders 'hey come talk to me, i'd love to hear your life story.' and so i have to talk to this bag boy for ages (b/c i can't find my car while he's watching) and hear all about how his mom bought a new car or how he's been to dave & buster's before.
and this is why i hate grocery shopping. oh and i get followed and then hit on at the grocery store. but always by creepy guys. except you know, anyone who follows you around a grocery store seems creepy by the time you're face to face. doesn't matter who you are. at any rate, i'm considering throwing the towel on grocery shopping. i mean, tuxes in the middle of the day? i just can't keep up.

this is a drawing i did of our well. it hates freedom. laurel is awesome and made it in to this lovely graphic with color. i've promised jessica that i will put in on a shirt for her some day.
anyway, our well is still holding the water hostage. we haven't had reliable, clean water in about a week. the well fixer upper people are paying our house a visit on friday. with any luck i'll be able to move home shortly after their visit. don't get me wrong, it's been great staying out here with kimy! she's a fun girl and she has cable, but there's something to be said for sleeping in your own bed surrounded by your stuff. i like my stuff. and i especially like being surrounded by it.
so i've been feeling down b/c kevin is gone (and by down, i mean i often start sobbing uncontrollably at weird moments) so i decided to take a trip to the temple this afternoon. since i live on the east coast this is not a minor commitment... we're talking a three hour drive each direction, if you're lucky. but it's totally worth it. anyway, i get an hour and a half into the drive when my friend let me know that the temple was closed for the day. so i got off the freeway and drove back an hour and a half. it was a huge disappointment and i'm trying to figure out what lesson i was supposed to learn from this. or maybe there isn't one. on the way up i was playing the ask the radio a question game as it is the long drive tradition. i asked the radio, 'what's my theme song for this evening?' and it responded with a song about following God. which i thought was nice but then i didn't get to go to the temple and i'm i'm still trying to figure out what exactly happened. thems the breaks some times i guess.
i'm still working on getting to a normal head space. i hope it happens soon. i just wish things were different right now. the idea that i'm struggling with right now is that it would be so much easier to just not get involved with people. to not become attached to people and places, but where's the living in that? if you don't risk things you never learn or grow. we all need to hurt some times. but it's just so easy to want to say never again. part of me is like 'hey elaina lets stop doing this, pretend it doesn't matter' and the other part of me is like 'shut up robot elaina, this is life so live it.' being a robot is easier but i don't think it's better.

latest project
one day i decided i was going to cartoon random text messages i receive. it started with this:
the message was from jim and was 'i don't dig being miserable.'
since then i've done a few others... text messages, emails and a few randoms... all drawn on cocktail napkins. if you'd like an original mailed to you, just let me know. ::hahaha:: enjoy!

my bestie
kevin leaves on his mission tomorrow. in honor of his departure, a list of my top ten favorite kevin moments. in no particular order:
10. the time i punched him in the stomach and as he doubles over he simply says "i've never been hit."
9. the first time i hung out with him we were at the movies and he totally commandeered my slurpee. months later when we talked about it he thought i was so generous b/c i was willing to share. i thought he was so weird for stealing some girl's slurpee.
8. sitting in the celestial room talking about our thoughts on life.
7. sitting on the porch talking late at night, watching the fire flies go by. it was the night that i had my inspiration for my fire fly analogy. for me, kevin was the epitome of a fire fly friendship. to be perfectly honest when i first met kevin i didn't like him much. ::hahaha:: i mean, the guy stole my slurpee! but, once i got to know him, it was impossible to imagine how i ever got a long without him.
6. in the dc celestial room there's an area near the ceiling that kind of sticks out, one time kevin said that he imagines that's where the angels sit. i always think about that whenever i'm there now.
5. when i found out my dad had cancer he was the person i called, the person i knew i could be a mess in front of. he came and sat with me all evening. i think i will miss this most of all... having him to turn to for support.
4. learning to bake bread... and then taking it to people.
3. all the time we've spent in the car. so much time in the car. singing along to the radio. talking. usually going no where at all. one afternoon we spent about three hours in the car driving around downtown richmond trying to find a cemetery. we found about 6 of them but by the time we found the one we wanted it was closed. but neither one of us cared.
2. one time we were sitting in the celestial room and one of the workers was walking around and he turned to me and said that's what i imagine you doing... hanging out in the celestial room all day. i just thought that was the best compliment a person could ever give.
1. the time he emailed me and said "i wrote a poem about my feelings for you" but really he meant "i wrote a poem about my feelings, for you [to read]." i still laugh when i think about that day.
and a bonus: this song the other night as we were driving back from the temple in raleigh this song started playing... and i started sobbing. ::hahaha:: luckily for kevin he was totally asleep (or was at least pretending to be asleep) so he didn't have to deal with me, once again, crying. my poor little robot!
my life has changed so much over the last 3 months. i have been truly blessed to have kevin as my bestie during these times. he was exactly the person i needed to get through some rough times. it was so reassuring to know that it was possible to spend time with someone and not feel like i constantly needed to entertain them. to be with someone and just be comfortable with being me. i don't know how i will get through the next few days without turning into a puddle, let alone the next two years. but, i have to say that i am extremely proud of kevin and his decision to serve the Lord. i know his life will be richly blessed and i look forward to seeing the way he grows and changes over the next two years. i know the Lord will provide for him... and will provide for me. you will be great, buddy!
and now, some of my favorite pictures of our adventures:

she's even got her very own ringtone
this weekend i spent some time with my good friend diane. diane and i went to high school together and have both managed to wind up here in good ol' virginia. when we get together we generally spend a lot of time telling 'remember that time when...' stories that usually involve us doing something absurd.
for example diane's side view mirror was missing and it reminded me of this fieldtrip we took our freshman year of high school. a group of us were in the drama teacher's mini van, being driven by our english teacher. we get in the van and the first thing we notice is that the rear view mirror is missing. since i was riding shotgun i was enlisted to hold it up whenever we needed to change lanes. quickly after discovering the rear view mirror the kids assigned to the back of the van began shouting b/c instead of seats there were milk crates. the english teacher made them walk to the corner so we could get by without the school security guard seeing that a few of the kids were sitting on plastic crates. i have no recollection of what play we saw that day. the main thing i remain is kids sliding around, screaming in the back of this van.
the other day i was thinking about this time we had to write stories and jeff used the phrase "ghetto spaghetti." at the time that was comedic gold... and now, i really don't know why. but for whatever reason, when you're 15 that's the most brilliant thing you've ever heard.
i think i must be getting old b/c it seems like high school was a magical time. things were fun and silly and i didn't have to pay any bills. ha. actually, i guess not much has changed besides paying bills.
if you've never seen it check out getmortified.com. it's one of the funniest websites i've ever seen. watch the mortified shoebox show. i love it. as a person who as teenager was *obsessed* with everything elijah wood and lord of the rings (example: 1. the time line i have drawn out detailing my life from age 18 to 70... which has me married to elwood and even names all our future children 2. i sat on the sidewalk all day in la for the chance to meet elwood at the return of the king premiere... he ran by, didn't even stop to get married to me! 3. the time i told my friends 'i don't care if i never meet... i just hope he's happy.' *creeper*) it hits home. i like to think that i'm not nearly as dorky as i was... or least i cover it better and don't have large hoards of stalkerazzi newspaper clippings of strangers / hobbits (at least not that i'm going to admit to). but it's funny to look back at the people we were and how much of that person is still around.

america the beautiful
sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. richmond is full of some interesting characters, that's for sure. but more on that later. first, 4th of july! here is a collection of pictures. i was trying to add captions but that's proving to take more patience than i currently have.
anyway, it was a really great trip and i had a lot of fun. it was great to see my friends in a different setting and to get to know people better and to just be away.
i had some really cool moments where i just thought 'i'm going to remember this forever.' i love moments like that. when we were coming home from the temple we stopped to get frosty's. daniel was driving his beast of a truck and we're in the parking lot and for whatever reason he decides to gun it in front of a car (i'm still not exactly sure what the thought process was... all i know is that it happened). i look to my right and i see a car coming directly towards me and start to freak out a bit and look forward to see if we will make it in time when i see that we're not coming to more parking lot but to a ravine. ok so it wasn't actually a ravine. it was more like a 2 foot slow drop to the other half of the parking lot, but still. daniel slams on his breaks and so does the other car. it was just like at the end of star tours where the robot almost smashes into that other transporter and the office. if it wasn't for the fact that i know you always stop in time and don't run into that office i might have freaked out. i have to tell you though... a frosty has never tasted quite so sweet. there's nothing like a near death experience to make you appreciate a vanilla frosty.
as smokey bones (aka kristi) and i were walking through the smithsonian i noticed people would turn and look at us funny every once in a while and so i started paying attention and realized that it b/c we sound pretty ridiculous when we're together. we like to joke around and talk in valley girls accents and say things that make us laugh... sadly the general population has no idea that we're not dumb... we're just hilarious. my favorite moment was when we walked up to a big necklace and smokey bones says loudly 'ooOOOoooh my goodness, it's that necklace from tiiiiiitaniiiiiiic!' to which i yelled back 'for sure, you're toooooootally right!!!' at which point a group of like 30 people turned and snarled at us. all i have to say to that is 'what would you dooOOooooOOOOOooo for a klondike bar?'
on the ride home i informed smokey bones and orin that they were 'like totally my new best friends' and then we had a blast having a dance party in the back seat of daniel's truck. we each discovered our inner rap video dancer and we totally invented a new dance move called the heart breaker.
sunday morning we missed church due to a miscalculation of the time vs walking ratio. so as to not feel totally guilty about church we all met in one hotel room and had a little meeting. we sang and prayed and i gave a little spiritual message and afterward we went around the room and we each said what we were thankful for. there were thoughts of country, servicemen, God and freedom and the wonderful things we enjoy as americans. it was such a wonderful feeling to hear a little of what each person was thinking that morning. i wish it happened more often that we got together and just talked about the things we are grateful for. it brings such a wonderful feeling to hear your friends talk about the things they hold in high esteem.
today was back to work. the suck. ha. i got 2 phone calls today. one was a lady telling me she was going to call me tomorrow. so that was productive. the second, oh the second, made me want to... uhmmm... set things on fire, i guess. anyway it was a guy calling to tell me that i didn't return his phone call... LAST AUGUST. and did he just want to complain about it? no, he wanted to know why. you want to know why i didn't call you back almost a year ago?!? maybe it was b/c i realized you were INSANE. he said you went on vacation last august and never called me back, do you remember going on vacation? and i said yeah i probably went on vacation but i don't remember not returning your phone call. why would i remember not returning a phone call from when i was on vacation a year ago?!? really what he wanted was to book a party this august and get free stuff. which was awesome and made me want to set even more things on fire. ilovemyjobilovemyjobilovemyjob.
speaking of setting things on fire, i'd really like to see some more fireworks about now. there's nothing i love as much as a good fireworks show.
sometimes i feel like i'm a million miles away from me. whatever that means. there are things i wish were part of my life, people i want to be with, things i wish i was. all in time, i suppose. i'm grateful to have such good friends out here to have adventures with and to share laughs with. i'm even more grateful for the handful that i feel like i can just be me with... no need to entertain or charm or impress... just me for who i am. it's a comfort to have that.

silver spoon and a paper plate
tonight was my first day back on the running trail after a month or so break. taking a break was a big mistake. ugh. the run seemed to be far worse than the first time i did it! at about mile 3 i was toast. shaky legs, queasy and wanting to die. the good and bad news at that point is that either direction is 3 miles. so the options or to either keep going or to sit and spend the night in the forest. so i'm currently here in the forest writing a blog entry to pass the time. not. that's right... 6 miles and 2 hours (yikes) later we were back at the car. and now whenever i move my legs up or down my hands have to help them. i don't think playing ultimate frisbee yesterday helped with the leg pain today. ugh. oh well. it was good to get out and get some sun and air and some exercise.
my favorite holiday is coming soonsies! yeah ya do 4th of july! a group of us (and a billion other people) will be celebrating in style at the nation's capitol. i'm pretty excited b/c after this weekend i will get to check off one of my 2010 goals... concert! the capitol 4th concert is reba, gladys knight, darius rucker and some other folks. i'm preeeeeeetty excited. i'm also looking forward to some serious spa time at the hotel. yum.
