My Life

I never realized how most of my life has been spent making my own entertainment usually at someone else's home. Well ok, I did realize it before, but I am realizing it agian. My life since my parents divorce has been like one big sleepover. I am barely home and rarely sleep there. I think this summer has been the first time in a long while where I have only stayed the night at someone elses house once a week. It's ok I guess, just different. I like never being home, makes life exciting. And seeing as my dad or brother are never home and we don't really have very many movies, and don't get any channels in on our TV, and now even our modem is broken so we have no internet at the house... well, all of those things make me want to get out and go somewhere and be with someone. I don't know why I am updating about this, just my random thought for today. In a nutshell, I like not being home. :)

PS. My aunt is visiting and keeps telling me how bored she is, and at first I thought, "how can she be bored?" then I realized "OH! It's because she has been here!" (meanwhlie everyone else is gone and doing things and she is home with the whole no TV, movie, or computer problem). See, I'm tellin ya, my house, it must be cursed bored or something. Although I will have you know, I did teach her how to play DDR, so perhaps that will provide some extra entertainment! lol ( keep in mind she is like 51) lol

The Wedding

Some of you already heard the story but here is an overview for those of you who didn't hear:

     The wedding started late and was full of off key music and even a piece with a missing melody line. The gazebo (where the ceremony took place, at my grandparents house) was graced by cheesy melodramatic looks from the bride. The cheese was also present in the fact that Dee had a big poofy dress and a veil over her face when she walked up to be given away. It was an ok time all around, just very long and unrealistic seeming. One could tell that my father had no hand in planning, not really his style.
     I felt ok during the ceremony, just tried to convince myself it was all reality.
I praise God that I was able to handled it as well as I did, without anger or animosity... That was totally God working in me, I know it wasn't me! The confusion of what was real was a refreshing feeling from the fear and concern I felt previous.
Thank you to all of you who prayed for me on Saturday and are continuing to pray for me as we transition into living together and sharing a blended family bond.

Trees

I found out something fun about trees today. If you are outside during a sunny but breezy day stare just past a tree or group of trees when the wind blows. Don't look directly at the tree but in it's general direction. When you do this it appears that the leaves are twinkling. It's like a little leaf dance. Very beautiful, fun, and relaxing. It made me smile today. I hope it does the same for you. If you try it and you think I am crazy then, well... I just might be! LOL!

My leg is asleep

Lately I have been able to stare at one spot in space and feel numb. This is not good. Last night I was walking home from the orchard and all I wanted to do was keep staring forward and walking, and it seemed like the only thing that made sense to do. I had to use the bathroom, and thought it would be childish to pee my pants, and perhaps a little insane, or else I would have kept walking right past my house. My ability to feel numb both scares and intruiges me. I'll have to think more on it and get back to you.

I hope all of you are having wonderous weeks! The sunshine today was great!

Armpits

Today when I came home from work I smelt something gross... It was me!! I thought to myself, "hm, did I really sweat that bad that even after using deodorant I still smell of my own body odor?". Upon investigating my pits I discovered that it was only my left one that smelled... How strange.
Perhaps I forgot to put any or enough on that armpit, or maybe it was that arm did extra work today. Either way I think that the word armpit sounds really funny now.

Today I babied for 5 and worked for seven... I am ready to sleep!!

CARS

Does anyone have any advice to give me on what kind of car I should get if I have to buy a new one? I could go for a new to me used to someone else car, or a pretty brand new one, if I can afford payments and insurance. I am leaning towards GM as I will get a discount from Dee when she marry's my dad. I want something practical, affordable, reliable, economical, and cute(ish) (but ugly is ok too). Post a comment if you have any recommendations! Thanks guys!

Today I took a nap, ah.... it was nice! And now I am going to work, Sandwich City HERE I COME!!! AND I'M BRINGING THE BEAST!!! a.k.a. my brother's jeep. :)

I got my room rarranged and threw away a bunch of crap! That was fun. perhaps I'll post a pic of it soon.

Later Taters

Oh Geez

Hello friends.

Today I got in a car accident. I am OK though. And so are the other drivers. I have bad bruises on my arms and knee and a sore thumb. Luckily the other drivers walked away without bruises or a scratch. And luckily my glasses didn't break. I am thinking about going to the doctor just to make sure there isn't any hidden ouchies. This happened about 1.5 hours ago so I am still in shock slightly. The pain is starting to appear, but not too bad, mostly just in my thumb.
The Story:
I was driving in the rain, a girl in front of me was stopping (her brake lights were not very bright) So, by the time I saw her lights and went to stop I had to press pretty hard, which caused me to hydroplane. And then I couldn't turn my wheel to avoid hitting her ( I was planning on going for the ditch), then CRASH BAM BOOM I rammed her. My airbags deployed, and I ran out to make sure she was ok. All in all it has been a crazy day. This is going to cost me a lot of money, and so the good and happy feeling I had about my finances has diminished. Good thing God provides!!
I am going to go and take it easy for a while, maybe pop a few motrin. I hope all of you had an accident free day!

Wowee

This past weekend I danced and went wedding dress shopping, and hung out with Megan, and ate Amy and Nathan's food and played with their dog.

I made a decision I have not been wanting to make, but thinking about for months. It will be an interesting journey. I also have been thinking about moving out of my dad's place and in with my grandparents for next summer. I hope they say yes. I like them.

Tonight we had a tea party at Bible Study. It was a blast. We all had really bad etiquette, but tried to figure out what would be the right thing to do. We consulted Mike J. our resident etiquette specialist for advice. We talked about intriguing topics, most of which I had now way to get a word in edgewise on because my friends like to talk.

Saw Joylynn today which was really nice. We are hanging out on Wednesday!! She is making me lunch and we are going to hang around her town for a while. I am excited.

Tomorrow I work, which I am also thrilled about. I like Subway (eat fresh!). Making sandwiches, ringing people up, and doing dishes among other little tasks such as stocking, baking and chopping veggies is just what I needed for the summer... Low stress, little thinking except for what I am doing at the moment, and free semi-healthy food. WOOT WOOT for Subway!!

See yas later!

Anonymous

I think I know who Anonymous is, so watch out you! I am coming to you if this whole llama thing doesn't work out.

WHAT?!?! 12:30!!!!

WHOA!!!

I like a fool, slept for 12 hours!!! I went to bed at a reasonable hour so that I could put away clothes and junk like that. Now it's 1:40 and I have eaten, but I have yet to do anything of any real importance besides get the mail and look through it, and put some more laundry in the washer...

Wow, I just realized that no one probably wants to know about this... hm... oh well. Just thought I'd let you all know that I am a sleeping wombat, and without a clue why. Just four weeks ago I couldn't sleep more than 8 hours every night. I need Mt. Pleasant!

See you womabt-lovers later!

Happy Valentine's Day

Ok, I know it's not technically valentine's day... But let us just pretend ok? OK!

So, I got some laundry done but I got the opposite of unpacking done. I packed!! I packed up all of my stuffed animals from my top bunk, and Barbies and other toys from my old room so I can 1. Grow up and move on to womanhood (stuffed animal wise). And 2. Make room for Joe (Dee's son) in my old room (That's where the Barbies come in). It felt to put that stuff away to keep it safe for when I have kids and it felt good to move on in a sense. I really like all of my stuff animals... But I think it's time. To be honest I still have some on my top bunk, but they are my collectables (which happen to be monkeys), so I figured it was ok. Mind you I have around 30+ monkey stuffed animals, but only 8 or so are collectible ones. So, yeah... That's my story.

Tomorrow I am working at Subway again. It should be a good day. I figure I should try to not sleep in so I can get something done!! I work at 3:00 so that gives me a pretty good chunk of time to keep on keepin on with m packing and bedroom rearranging.

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
