Yuck!

Well, I am definately not so much well. I have a really bad stomach virus - it's disgusting actually. My stomach physically aches. Melanie called today and as we chatted I definately neglected to tell her. When she calls back later tonight though I'll probably be too sick to hide it. I feel disgusting. I tried to eat a little while ago [steamed rice] and upchucked. Potatoe? Same...toast...no such luck. I suck.

Brandon [my former partner] took that job working for a camp this summer. I'm so proud. He called me today from the road and when he got there. I guess I'd better start workin' on his Camp Package! Everyone who goes to summer camp needs a package, seriously - otherwise mail call would stink!

Something cool did happen today at the house though, and I would have missed it entirely had I gone to work. Our air conditioner starting leaking through the hall closet. Water EVERYWHERE...seriously. It was not pleasent. See, we have wooden lamenant and without warning WATER on it is so not good. My mom was DEFINATELY not in a good mood. It was ugly y'all...for realz.

Well pain + no food = sleep.

Sunday Morning

Now, first of all, we could all be cool for a second and imagine I'm like Justin Scott and all my titles come from song lyrics, but I am in fact NOT THAT COOL. Well, it's official, ladies and gentlemen: I have a shin splint in my right leg and it hurts like the dickens, but I digress.

So today I taught Sunday school and it was a blast! We learned about the history of Joshua and then watched the Veggie Tells episode about Joshua and the big wall. It was pretty cool. I will be teaching class on Wednesday night for 1 1/2 hours starting this week. It's sort of a summer series thingy, I'm having trouble deciding what the topic should be however. I think I'm gonna do Heroes of the OT though, and I think we'll start with Gideon, what do you guys and gals think?

I am at this moment, talking to my best friend of like 9 years and friend for longer - he doesn't have a job yet. I'm scared. He's like a freggin' genius [I mean, he makes me look like a moron seriously]. I wish there was something I could do to help him, but I'm afraid there really isn't much.

I'm just puttin' the Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe onto my iPod, along with The Hobbit. One MUST be prepared for work, seriously. It's for real borrin'! :-) Sheesh I'm tired.

YAH BUSH GO!!!

Today was [is] a GLORIOUS day in the land of Justice. The U.S. State Department's Office to Combat Trafficking in Persons just released today's report, and thier Press Conference was tonight on CSPAn [which I CLEARLY watched...], while also, IJM's Gary Haugen was on FOX News courtesy of the O'Riley Factor...Shannon Phillips [another IJM employee] has been on CNN on and off today and will be through tomorrow. Mmm...Justice.

Yes Yes Yes I'm a bad Person

Allright ladies and gentlemen, it has yet again been like a week since I last posted. Update time.

I still go to work everyday, que sera sera, no? Well, I've finally paid my housing deposit for Pepperdine [once I figured out it wasn't the same as the regular deposit. Funny, they never actually SAY anywhere the two are different...go figure, you know? Moving on...] I've been running two miles every night. Well, at least I run 1 mile...usually 1 1/2 and walk the remaining 1/2 mile...My goal by the end of the summer time is to be able to run 4 miles without stopping. Ambitious, yes I know. But, if Dr. Dillman can do it I'm sure I can!! [Props to you sir, wherever you are!]

I'm really enjoying summertime you know? It's totally sweet action! I'm using the time to update my iPod, etc. I really am enjoying free time to read, knit, watch TV, and just generally veg out. I've been playing quite a good deal of Game Cube lately...it's fun - I love it.

My hair is getting almost too long for me to handle in this weather, but I'm growing it out for locks of love. I need a couple more inches so that when I cut it off it won't be super short: just because I'm using my hair for a cancer patient's wig is NO EXCUSE for turning me into a man...

So my cousin and I just watched Romy and Michelle's High School Renunion. That movie is STILL funny. Sad, isn't it?

Yes I Stink

So, in my effort to sharpen my will power and self-discipline, I appear to have left blogging out. I work every day from 8:30 - 1:00 and then I come home eat, do French for an hour, knit for an hour, read for an hour, exercise for 1/2 hour...I'm good to go. I've lost 9 pounds in two weeks and my skin is becoming a loverly shade of copper [yes, I meant loverly]. But somehow, I keep forgettin' to blog.

It's wicked hot outside and I don't feel so well. My back has really been bothering me today so it looks like walking rather than running for today. I'm about to watch sleepy hollow in my sofi shorts and I'M EXCITED. I love movies...hmm...movies.


Oh guess what? I tried on my new contacts today, and by next week, my eyes will be BLUE!! I'm so happy. Of course, because my eyes are black it's more of a mystic blue but WHO CARES...

ah, technology
consumerism
vanity....

:-)

Cell Phone

Ok, so I know it's late, but I've just been inspired to post.

I started work today at Atlas & Hall again. It's fun. Today I moved up in the world - I got a desk! Oh yes, a desk. This is important man. See, usally I work in the file room as a clerk. When I got promoted to closing files, I got moved to the entire BUILDING in the back that the firm uses for old files, and sure, I got my own desk there but it's CLEARLY not the same thing, you know it?

Ok, so now I'm an assistant to a legal assistant to a partner, Mr. Mills. His assistant's name is Imelda Perez and she's like 3 years older than me and is married and used to be the assistant to the old legal assitant [number 2 of 5] who worked under Mr. Mills - Pearl. So, now she does Pearl's job and I'm [dum dum dum..] REFILING. I knew it was gonna be interesting when about half an hour into the day Imelda walks into the file room where I am cleaning shred [fancy words which in this instance mean pulling staples out of paper to be shredded - by the barrell] and waiting to be told by office manager Janet what I'm actually doing here that

1. She missed me
2. She's glad I'm back
3. Didn't Janet tell me I'd be helping her?
4. P.S. She's REALLY glad I'm here THIS PARTICULAR MORNING...

Oh goodness...

I enjoyed having my own desk today, and I even called my dad twice from my phone just because I could [and by my phone I mean the one on my desk...gettin' the picture now genius?] Yes, glorious. I'm getting PAID TO COLOR CODE AND ORGANIZE FILES...CAN LIFE GET BETTER? I SUBMIT THAT IT CANNOT!

Moving on, I went to Barnes and Noble today and bought Layne a funny book in Spanish in the Libros para Ninos section. He wants one to help him learn Spanish. We even went out on a special shopping trip to find one, but couldn't. Stupid Abilene Hastings. Jerk Faces. Speaking of Jerk Faces and Layne...[hehehe], he's been in Tennessee with Ryan Porche since Thursday. Now, I've got Layne trained up pretty well, he knows the rule about traveling: CALL WHEN YOU GET THERE. Well, he definately called when he got there Thursday, but I was outside with Joshua watching him try to pull his backpack out of the backseat of my car without spilling raspa all over it. Meanwhile, Layne was telling my mom to tell me he called. She waited till AFTER I had done the dishes to tell me, and by that time his phone was off. So, no Layne. So, I called him and left him a message that I had recieved said phone call and that I appreciated how well he was trained [giggle] and that he'd better call me when he got back from Tennesse OR ELSE. umph.

So, hours are passing by here and I'm thinking

1. he's dead
2. he's taking a late flight
3. Jerk Face

I'm more inclined to think three, just because then I get to say "Jerk Face" which is fun. I know it can't be #1 or certainly SOMEONE would've told me by now. However if it actually turned out to be #1 and I was thinking #3, then I'm the Jerk Face, and that's no good. So, in the intrests of all involved, I said to myself, "Self, it may even be #2, so let's give him 24 hours. After all, he even called from the woods that one time...dumb leadership camp. Must be jinxed there, since that's where Chikin came from [stupid possessed cow...]"

11:11 pm: I'm asleep after watching a VERY FUNNY [but old] Family Guy and the phone rings. Who is it? Ah yes, Spaz Master. Good boy. He apologized for waking me, but I figure that's ok. I tell him it's no big deal because I love him and he makes me happy about life [as I sit up and rub my groggy eyes]. And since we both agree making me happy is CLEARLY the most important value here, we're good.

Note: Apparantly, I need to hurry up and get my new cell phone. To pour salt on an open wound, he said he usually doesn't call "homes" [like parentals, seperate from "dorms" or "apartments" or even "houses" where we live] after 10:00, but he took a leap of faith and called anyway...if I'd only had a cell phone I wouldn't have missed the first call or run the risk of not gettin the second one.

Shut up Layne.

How's My Kid?

Ok, so you all know those little stickers that say "How's My Driving?" that can be found on the back of semi trucks and student driver cars the world over? Well, there should DEFINATELY be ones for children. If I were a parent, I'd have a sticker on my kid's behind every week when I take it to Church. That way my kid will never become the spawn of Satan. No sir, not MY child.

P.S. I taught Sunday School this morning...more later

P.P.S. You can add

-A Series of Unfortunate Events
-Daddy Day Care
-Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen &
- Mona Lisa Smile

to the list of movies I've seen
