just because it cracks me up
on top of the world
man! i wish something would happen in my life that would make everyone say congratulations to me a lot. hahaha. i was just looking at my friend's wall... he got engaged and a million people posted saying congrats and i want that many congrats. i like congrats. i also like conga rats.
sunshine has decided she wants to drag the kittens around the house now. she is being a nutter.
do you know what i love? the library. the end.
today i was off from work in the evening and i got to cook dinner. it was pretty much the most amazing thing that has happened to me lately. actually, that's not true at all. but it was nice to be able to cook dinner.
one time i went camping and a giant raccoon came by and tried to eat me. another time i went camping and my friend and i got scared when the guys left and so we stood back to back with one of us holding a light and the other holding an ax. for no reason. i'm really glad we didn't have to fight anyone using an ax. that would have been terrible.
i learned about this song from michael this past week:
and now it's playing on the commercial for that show on lifetime about the conjoined twin girls. i like to call that band magic dragons... because it's just a better name. anyway, the song makes me want to dance.
diane and i have been doing the hills the last couple of weeks. it's been very intense but also very exercise-y. if anyone wants to do that, i'm sure diane would be willing to torture more people.
who wants to skype?? me, i do! lets do this!

cloudy with a chance of money
this last week has been crazy go nuts. i'm not going to recap because, seriously, way too much stuff happened. and i didn't take any pictures. and as brittany says, if the blog has no pictures, it's just a diary.
i stole this picture from michael:
that's from when we were on lets make a deal. the episode will be on tv on halloween. and we will be on tv the ENTIRE episode. and our costumes cost all of $10 for the four of us and took about an hour to make. i'm pretty proud that i came up with them. stroke of genius, if i say so myself. anyway, the episode is pretty awesome and you're going to want to watch it. FACT.
i also saw anne and had a delicious shaved ice snow cone. and my phone broke on splash mountain. nate and erica were in california (they were on lets make a deal too). i got to stay with brianna at her house for a few days and we watched strictly ballroom and ate chocolate chips cookies that she baked (it's so nice to have a friend who can make cookies, since i can not at all). i saw a variety of the missionaries who served in richmond at brady's wedding. i also got to see abby and her family. her girls are adorable. little ava loves freckles, so i am a fun person for her.
ok that's all for now. welcome back, blog!

a perviously unpublished post...
i just found this post that i had started writing months ago. i'm assuming i had other things to say but got distracted. anyway, i just read this and it cracked me up. two sentences can say a lot...
so i just walked into work and the gm called me funny bone. add this to the list of nicknames that i'm not ok with.

high fives
i haven't posted in a while. i suppose i've been "busy". busy is the word i use when i don't actually want to explain what's going on (not that anything is going on in particular... it's just boring). feel free to call me on that in the future.
i wanted to post a link for Terry's blog so there it is. that links to an article of her's i read yesterday that i found very interesting. terry is dave's wife. dave is the artistic director for the comedysportz in richmond and i love them both dearly. i wish i could be them when i grow up. anyway, i thought the article was interesting.
this will make more sense after you read the article but my thoughts from it were that what i find most difficult from walking away from a dream is other people's reactions. for the large part, i don't mind changing direction in my life. i'm probably one of the few people who doesn't hate change (or is just that people who hate change are just so vocal about it?). in fact, i love change. it's often painful and scary but i guess i'm into that. but it seems when you decide to change directions there is always someone standing there ready to say "but what about such and such plan you said you had?" my outlook on it is summed up in something i say regularly... the great thing about having your own mind is you can change it whenever you want.
and i do. i was thinking about this yesterday. trying to draw the distinction between being a quitter and knowing when to walk away. i think it's really about knowing your motives behind leaving. and sometimes it's not that a dream isn't still cool or fun it's just that something else becomes more important.
i was also thinking about being wrong yesterday. hahaha. just the other night i had something happen and i realized i was totally wrong about something and so i admitted it to myself and then to the person who i had convinced to believe wrong things with me. that's a far more complicated way of saying what i was trying to say but oh well.
this is one of the traits that i'm really glad that i have. i know that i'm often wrong and i'm willing to admit that and then make the changes that need to be made. i don't think there is anything wrong with being wrong. it means you're thinking and making choices. and as long as you keep thinking and making choices eventually you will get somewhere. to where exactly i don't know. i'm working on it i guess... give me some time. i just know that you get further in life by deciding things and trying it out than just sitting around doing nothing.
the other day i was thinking it must be fun to be a southern baptist and then i realized that everything i know about southern baptists is based on country music... mostly that song "what i love about sundays" or whatever it's called.
i've been thinking about dudes lately and trying to come up with a list of things of looking for. here is what i've got so far:
hard working
kind
direct
doesn't flip out over small things (like when plans change or things don't go right... b/c plans always change and things never go the way you expect them to and i can't take the stress of a person who doesn't know that)
and i suppose that is it so far.
sunshine should be having her kittens any day now. kittens!

get your kicks
i know it wasn't too long ago that i was saying i was almost at 10,000 page views. and now i'm nearly to 11,000. that means i'm averaging about 8 views a day since i started this blog. with leaves me this question: who in the world is reading this?? say something so i feel less stalked!
ok, as promised here comes some pictures of cars land (in case that video was too sicky for you). it definitely made me sick. or maybe it was the hot dog and powerade overload that i had for dinner. at any rate, i am a woman of my word, if nothing else and so here you go. there are a few other pictures of other things too... b/c i go above and beyond for the 11,000 times someone is looking at this.
ok that's all the pictures for now. enjoy!
