Wednesday

We all do it. See someone we know and then act busy or avoid eye contact as if we had never seen them. Twice today I caught myself doing this unintentionally, and after realizing this and going up to them and saying "Oh my gosh HI how are you," we ended up setting a b-fast date which I could not be more excited about! But the second time I was caught in the act of unnecessarily shopping...

PB & J come back tomorrow. (Pam Beasley and Jim), which means sleepover with my fave girls. Now that I don't live with Jules, a Disney void is lingering in my soul, but supposedly watching Camp Rock is also on the agenda so I guess this void will be filled with her singing and dancing to it, and teaching me the songs and dances.

Anyone else think Rose is lying about carrying Mc Dreamy's baby? Just like Kelly lied to Ryan about being pregnant to try to get back together with him?
...I'm so glad I don't have cable this year haha

Check out the WEBSITE I had to design. Anyone else excited CS4 came out?

"How can I edit this picture to make it better?" - Prof
"Crop out the ginger" -TORi

After putting to bed the kids i was babysitting, i crashed on the couch, only to be startled by a noise meaning one of the kids had gotten up. Deciding to not jump to conclusions, I wandered to the bathroom to find one of the girls standing in the bathtub wearing her brother's cowboy boots. I could not even pretend like I was mad, it was just so funny. I just told her to go back to bed, and then realized she was sleep-walking haha

Thursday

Quote(s) of the day
"Why are you so happy?" -prof
...it's funny because I was going down the stairs in the comm building and almost ran into him and i think i might have been talking to myself and laughed out loud.

"I saw chacos so I looked up to see if I knew who it was" -Emily Hardy

After a very intentional spiritual conversation with Brett and Ashley and other fellow younglifers- we came up with a list of the best ways to sign an e-mail, my favorite being:
Wearing Spandex,
Brett Rogers

The photo of the day cannot be uploaded, because it was film and I havn't scanned it yet. I can tell you that it is of Grace Guinn on a moped she was pretending to own, and that she makes me laugh alot.

Tuesday


Me and two of my besties (who like to play in fountains with little kids. I, however, was banished after knocking a little girl out while spinning,) are taking a class learning about Eastern Europe with all plans of using the class as a travel guide for our backpacking trip from Prague to Spain…any suggestions??

Yoga, Capitol, Watermelon, Swimming. Through thick and thin, (one-piece tan-lines that is,) the magic always happens.

Sunday



This is very hard not having my computer, but the problem could easily be fixed with the purchase of a charger, so I'm not complaining. Club on the lake today w/ Austin West YoungLife, which means Henna tattoos of a skull and a guitar on the biceps of Katie Lloyd and all her girls haha

Friday

No pic for now, I can't access my computer because it's dead and my cords broken, but I'll add one later.

Favorite recent quote:
" I see you're swimming in the afternoon so you don't go around like a wet dog all day" - Sarah S

Thursday


There were many memorable nights last year including late night TCBY runs, Rob, silverware stealing, dance parties, not to mention our apartment themes of The Office quotes, Disney (and of course princess toast), and Michael Buble, and everytime we would end up in the smallest room of the apt, my and Britt's room, laughing and quoting the night. We compiled a list of what else needed to happen before our life would be complete, which I found saved on my computer yesterday. Slightly edited, I hope this still encourages spontaneity like our adventure Thursdays would have IF THEY EVER HAPPENED. Kim, we should have taken advantage of our no Friday classes! Bahh it's never too late!

My favorite story about my parents. My mom has always been a huge Chris Tomlin fan. She gets her fill when she blurs the line between visiting and living in the city of Austin with her two daughters, and attends Austin Stone where he leads the music. One Sunday, after she revealed never having met him, (soon after claiming to be friends with him,) my dad grabbed her hand (they did not usually hold hands) and led her to the stage. He introduced them, and for the first time I saw my outgoing talkative mother become fairly shy. My father stood back and smiled/rolled his eyes as he watched them talk. or flirt, whatever you want to call it.

Tuesday


As an aspiring photojournalist, I thought it only appropriate to start a blog for writing my favorite stories, displaying my fave photos, and of course talking about those crazy yet influential people in my life some might like to call BFFs.
This first pic is of my niece, a 2 year old sassy little thing who, along with here beautiful mother Kate, bring me so much joy.
