ADIDAF: All Day I Dream About FILES!

Oh man work is exhausting. I can't say that I love it, but its something to do, experience and $$$. So its perfect for a summer job (very short lived thank goodness!). Anyway since I am now supremely busy and get home after 6 and have to go to bed by 11 I have limited time. =/ So part of the time at work I answer phones and sometimes we get people calling in to complain about bad food, or water, etc. However, wednesday I got a more interesting call. This guy called in saying that he owned a store in LA and wanted to know the regulations or health codes on if people brought him USED toilets if he could resell them! Oh man my co-workers and I got a good laugh out of that one. Sorry toilet man but I'm pretty sure that shouldn't be allowed.

Change of Plans

Ok so since I've started my new job and will be going to Oregon tomorrow I think I have changed my mind about writing out what happened on my Boston trip. For one, I lack the energy to type it all, and two, I think it sounds better to tell it in person. So if you want to get the scoop I guess you will have to wait until we see eachother again in person. Alright off to the gym! (how I find the energy to work out I have no idea, a long nap is next on the agenda) Peace

Honey I'm Home

So I am now officially back from Boston/Rhode Island/New Hampshire/Salem/Connecticut/New York City! I had a blast, one of the best vacations I have ever taken. It was so fun and so much stuff happened. I am debating whether to blog it all or not. So what do you guys think, you want to hear the full story?

Now Accepting Compliments

Today a drunk man on a bicycle, in Salem, Mass. told me I was beautiful.

I <3 Boston!

Boston is amazing! Its prety awesome here. K's Dad is a really good cook so we are eating great food. Today we went on a DUK (duck) tour, its an amphibious vehicle that you can take around the city. Tomorrow we are going to Rhode Island to see K's aunt for lunch. Thursday we are either going to Maine or Cape Cod, we haven't decided yet. Then its off to New York where we are going to stay at a hotel in Time Square! I'm so excited!

My Triceps Hurt

So I got a gym membership for the summer (so I will be buff by the end of summer ;)). After going for my first week all that is sore are my triceps. I'm not sure how I managed that one, but for now I can't move my arms in certain positions, ouch!

Interesting Juxtaposition

So as I was flipping through the phonebook for 24 hour fitness (i'm going to the gym again! so excited!) I noticed that in the A's this appears: Abortion–Accident

Hmm interesting juxtaposition I think, or maybe a reverse before and after?

Ladybug, Ladybug

As I was driving to bible study this afternoon I noticed that there was a ladybug on my driver's side window. It got on at Hickory Ave. and flew off at Auburn Blvd. where I assume it went to join friends at the park for a picnic of aphids.

I think this came from Nike and I like it

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing

When I die I want a coloring book made about my life, please

It's amazing what you can find when you actually clean your room. I was moving books around in my bookshelf and discovered that I currently am the proud owner of two coloring books: "The Prince and Princess of Wales–A Royal Coloring Album" and "Diana-The People's Princess." I am not really sure how I aquired these, I think my Grandma gave them to me. On the inside they are complete with stories on the left some entitled "The Wedding," "The Honeymoon," etc. The other one talks about her life as a princess. I love how they cover the divorce between Princess Di and Prince Charles. They say "Sadly, their marriage could not survive the stresses of royal life." Even the coloring book is very diplomatically handled, with the next title being "A Princess On Her Own." Anyway each story is accompanied by a picture on the right for you to color in. All of the pics are not colored in, so apperantly I never got the urge to color in Princess Di's hair blue or Prince Charles giant ears purple. Too bad, really, I think I would have enjoyed that now. I guess I must have gotten them right after her death in 1997, in honor of her death. So I was 10, slightly passed coloring book age. However, if you know me at all you know that coloring was never cut off at any age for me. I still ask for a kids menu to color on to this day. Anyway, I just thought that it was an interesting thing to own and a interesting way to commemorate someone's life. When I die I want a coloring book made about my life! Remember that people.
