Happy Birthday to me .... love you B

Smallville Man

Last night I went to the grocery store with a good friend to buy a birthday card and vegetable oil. Now that is only two items, so we went to the ten items or less line, which in any store is the last one on the left, every one knows this. Well apparently everyone but the lady in front of us. She unloads her cart full of stuff, and the checker makes two or three remarks, including " ooh, you are getting me in trouble" and " oh no, this is the wrong line for you" ( she had a heavy spanish accent) But does nothing to stop the madness.

By now, the line behind us, is growing, and there are many people with one two items making noises like this " ughhhhh" and " eckkkhhgggkkkkk"

Then the magic moment happened, the man behind us( who mind you, had two microwavable hungry man meals and was at least 35 years old) Walks up to the lady with 397293 items and says, " next time, pick the right line, I am missing smallville, my favorite show becuase of you."

I tried, I really did try not to laugh.

I failed.

Lovely...

This is me trying to be artistic.


Enjoy!

Camping!

Sorry about not posting for a while.... busy little life of mine.

Funny stories about a campig trip that some of my friends and I took.

First a man came up to us as we were playing a routy game of catch phrase and asked us first if we were mormon, then since we weren't, he asked us for a beer. We didn't have anything but coke and sprite, but we did understand that since we sounded drunk it was a pretty ligitamate obervance.

Second creepy man came up to us and asked us if we had extra firewood for a homeless couple that would be sleeping next to us. We gave them some and then, all sat there silently contemplating where we should hide our valuables, so judgemental and wrong, we know, but... seriously, would you have left your stuff out over night?

Next was a creepy art project that Sarah and I found on our morning walk to the bathroom. We found on a picnic table what appeared to be some sort of satanic witch circle with rocks placed in crazy places and sticks holding the "creations" together. ( lame desciption, should have taken a picture...so sorry. I wasn't in my blogging place of mind.)

We decided to pack up and move out thinking it would be more fun to squeeze in a booth at denny's then try and " brave the wilderness" some more.

This is the splinter.

Stupid

Today something happened that I thought I would never have to go through again. I got a splinter. Now not just a splinter that stuck out , was prominent and easily removable, no. This splinter dove right in underneath my nailbed. This splinter happened when I reached into my new bamboo-like beach bag to grab my wallet and stuck my finger smack dab into a sharp piece of the bamboo like material. I tried for hours to get it out, I even asked for tweezers at CPK, that was the extent of suffering I was in ( by the way, they have huge ones there). To no avail, the satanic wood chip remained lodged into my fingerip. Tonight when I came home, I had had enough. I clipped my fingernail down to an un comfortable length, and with shaky hands. and a sweaty brow, I snagged it and pulled it out. It doesnt look scary or painful once it is sitting so innocently on my counter, but I know the pain it causes.



I have a picture, uploading is not going so well, maybe later.

Oh the summer weather....

So if you are lucky enough to be a saddleback/IVC student you would know that this week is spring break 2007. I believe, that the weather could not be any nicer. My spring break activities hae thus far, been filled with lots of sun, outdoors and friends.

So far I have

Laid out at the community pool

Rode bikes around Newport/Balboa with B, and then ate a delicious meal at Rubys

Cleaned out my room

Done some laundry

Disneyland with friends and B

Art show which was awesome

Friday I will camp out with everyone important and lovely in my life.....

And now I am about to go lay out some more with my good friend Sarah...


Heres to sunscreen and frozen lemonade by the pool.... CHEERS TO SPRING BREAK 2007

LOVE

You make me smile when I feel like frowning

You care about my world in ways that I thought no one ever would

You love my family and my friends

You visit me when I am sick, and always know what to say when I am sad

You encourage my ministry work and always lead me on

You are my love...

Happy One Year...2-25-06

Sleepover

Last night was a blast from the past... and it was so much fun. My three best friends and I were miraculously all in the same town, at the same time, and so we did what any group of best friends would do, we had a sleepover! Now granted, we all work, and go to school and try and manage a social life, so when we finally got together at 10:00pm, we all were a little tired. But we managed to sneak in, cookie making(well, Sarah and I sat on the couch like Grandma and Grandpa Joe and let Jill and Amanda do all the work), TV watching ( without a trace, lame episode, but still fun to watch) and of course... what sleepover would be complete without a good solid session of talking about our boyfriends on the couch for 2 hours. Though the night was not anything spectacular in it's activities, it was such a treat to have all the girls that I love and cherish on one couch all laying on top of each other falling asleep.

I love you all... 7 years of friendship and counting...
