Driving Miss Daisy

So I know it hasn't been a week but I can't wait to share my experience with my neighbor boy and his friends. He is in 4th grade and needed a ride to his end of the year concert...since I wasn't doing anything I volunteered myself.

I got to their house and told him and his friend to hop in the backseat and that we would be there in a flash...on the contrary!

After learning that we needed to pick up his other friend my patience was growing weary and both boys promised that they knew EXACTLY where his house was...So I, being the dummy that I am, believed them. So we begin our journey and after a few shouts from the backseat such as "there turn there" as we pass the street and a conversation just below a whisper consisting of "is that it?...No I think that is it...No the one with the yellow truck...Yeah the yellow truck" And you guessed it we stopped at the first house we saw with a yellow truck and proceeded to knock on their door because these two 4th grade boys said it was.

After a few knocks we realized that it was the wrong house. We drove until we saw the next house with a yellow truck...luckily it was and we went off to Nautilus my alma mader(sp). It was a great performance and I know that I have some embarrassing moments for Tate when he gets a girlfriend!

Its always embarrassing when you sing about guacamole...

weekly update...

So I have decided that I will blog once or maybe twice a week...cause I can barely remember to take pills for allergies at night let alone update my blog so I will try this and see how it goes.

So this week I have been trying out my bluetooth...I have the kind that is ginormous compared to my petite ear and every time that I even wiggle my ear it falls off...here are a few options so it can work according to its purpose:

* I can duct tape it to the side of my face

* I can use packing tape and stick it to the side of my face

* I can superglue it to the side of my face

* I can attatch my bluetooth to a headband and wear the headband and it won't move!

* Or I can ignore the stupid law completely and rebel like most of Federal Way

(I know I know it lights up...I am totally high tech and everything)


I saw THE cutest thing today while driving on 320th...a mama duck and her ducklings were crossing the street and people were swirving to not hit them and speeding up to go around all the traffic they caused and when they saw how precious they were they slammed on their brakes...



It was so cute...the littlest one was waddling in last place in line and while in the suicide lane it tripped and waddled real real fast to catch up with the rest of them...I looked in the car next to me and it was like everyone was mesmerized by these things (including me...)

We have had some funny customers in the past week...but I will tell more stories later!

My dream mall

Christy blog tagged me a while ago I am totally lame cause I have been crazy busy but here goes

so you can 6 stores and 2 restaurants (one fast food and one sit down)

I am definitely loving cheesecake factory

For fast food I would have to go with Wendy's (their $1 menu is to die for...)

So I have to admit that I love to shop...so there are lots of decisions...

Target because I shop there probably two or three times a month

Nordstrom

Aeropostale

American Eagle

Guitar Center

Gap Outlet

Wow that was actually kinda hard...there was a few stores that didn't make the cut but were pretty close!

well until next time...

411...

411 means info or information...(that is only for you people in the older generations that might not be up to date on us youngsters new lingo)

anyways...In reference to my blog about Jimi Hendrix, I do know that he is dead but I also know that in a little while I will be playing the guitar so well that I might just knock his socks off...

Oh and another little tid bit from my weekend. I went to church and it was AMAZING. After that there was a baby shower for a gal at church and then we had a youth group leaders and parents meeting which was also very encouraging.

Stacy and Paige along with myself decided to watch a movie at my house. I had DVRed (which for you old folks means I recorded it) Sweet Home Alabama and it seemed like a perfect opportunity to watch it. During the evening we sort of (meaning pretty much only me) pigged out on chocolate and popcorn.

So, not realizing that I was being an absolute fruitcake, I was mocking Paige while sitting in my mom's rocking recliner and I was flailing my arms and legs when I flipped the chair all the way back. (I can recall the same moment a few years back when mother did the SAME exact thing which was way funnier than this incident.) I couldn't help but laugh hysterically at myself at which point I almost chocked on the piece of dove chocolate I had shoved in my mouth just moments before this tragic event took place...

So needless to say I will not be sitting in that retched chair anytime soon and I will certainly not be eating chocolate while laughing...bad combo.

There will be another break with the posts seeing as I am headed to Malibu Canada for the first time EVER...I am serving for the Discipleship weekend and will be busy getting ready and will be back late Monday night...

Until then...

No more TV...

So this weekend was eventful...

I was trying to be helpful by doing yardwork at the Young Life house so I was given the task of whacking a bamboo plant of some sort. So Chris gave me this weird tool that looked like a chainsaw for a pansy.

So I was going about my bamboo cutting business when Todd walks by and yells (let me remind you that I can't hear much of anything because of the chainsaw thingy) watch out for the wire...

Pause: I have no idea what he said I could just see his lips moving and his eyes get real big and not that I really listen to him anyways...

I turned the thingy off and looked at Todd and he was shaking his head. I had no idea that I had just cut the TV cable that went from the ground to the roof...and not only did I chop it half but I chopped it in three peices.

I kinda went a little crazy with the power tools...I don't think they will be asking for anymore of my help anytime soon.

Where in the heck did time go??

So hi I am probably the worst blogger of all time...ok so maybe Jessica is a little bit worse than I but I think I am a close second...anyways

I apologize for not updating you with the goings on in my life...

so since my birthday (which was my last blog) I have been:

*going to Pneuma (with a silent P...) and helping out with worship and youth
*worked a ton
*cut my hair
*I got my wisdom teeth taken out
*lost like ten pounds because of being on a liquid diet for a week and a half
*cut and dyed my hair
*had a food fight for a young life club
*went tanning a few times
*sang at a wedding for Big Mike and Face
*started guitar lessons (I am practically a pro now...watch out Jimi Hendrix here comes Alicia)
*cut my hair again...
*started my read the Bible in a year thing
*house sat at Mike and Steph's
*planned a dessert auction
*raised a ton of moola for YL kids at the dessert auction
*had a pirate night for the YL kidders
*got a horrible "cold" which I thought was allergies but it was obviously not...
* went to the Doctor (which we affectionately call Dr. Needles...) and got two shots (one in the arm and one not in the arm...
*Oh and the best part of the last month was finding out I am going to have a nephew this fall!!

So I know that was a lot to take in but all in all I hope to keep blogging and getting my haircut...

Until next time TOODLES...

Happy Birthday to ME

Today I turned twenty years old...I am no longer a teenager and have crossed over to my early twenties. My agenda today consisted of

-having lunch with Jaclyn and Samantha

-doing laundry

-having my family over for a wonderful dinner cooked by my mama...
