LOL moments

The meaning behind bra sizes:

A-Almost boobs
B-Barely there
C-Can't complain
D-Dang!
DD-Double dang
E-Enormous
G - Get a reduction
H-Help, I'm falling

Okay, it was a few months ago and i was in Penney's (is that spelled right???) buying something and i look down at the counter and there is a sign printed out talking about how if you need a special bra size, then Penney's can help. something about how they can get anything from a 30 AA to a 56H. i know my eyes must have just about popped out of my head when i read that. i was horrified. i was like, is this a joke? surely this is a joke. then i was confused. then i felt extreme sympathy.

This weekend jen and i saw a t-shirt that said:

I am NOT anti-social
you dumb piece of crap!

yeah, that was me - laughing out loud in the t-shirt shop

flowers in our hair

found these pics the other day. most are from my postgraduation trip to sanfran with my partner in crime, carla. when i think back on it, i am amazed that we didn't get kidnapped or robbed or really really lost. it was great! and really really cold.

the sweetest thing

i let the kids color whatever they wanted tonight at church. i know i'm not supposed to have favorites but this one little girl named Katie Britt decided she was going to make a book. so she got three pieced of construction paper and stapled one side together. she started writing i love such and such and i love so and so and i love this and i love that. i asked her what the name of her book was and she said, " its The I Love You Book". later on before she left, i looked on the front page and she had written those exact words. the i love you book. just a little 5 yr. old. i almost cried it was so sweet.

Just a daily vent into the blogosphere

i should be in bed right now, but i feel the need to post. work is craziness. i don't have enough time in the day to finish all that i need to finish. and i have a feeling i'm going to have to get used to that. argh.
i've found that builders and designers generally don't like each other. or maybe its just a love/hate relationship. no, its that we have to put up with one another. or maybe its just the reality of the "real world" setting in. no, laura, everybody does not like each other even if they act like they do. in the business world, someone can act like they're your best friend one minute and screw you over the next. people like to point fingers at anybody but themselves. and people don't read!
please don't get jaded and cynical. please don't get jaded and cynical.
one of my very first customers once told me - "75% of people are nice. 25% are not. and when you run into someone who's just rude or cruel you can just say to yourself, oh, you're one of those 25%ers - and then go on with your life"
at any rate, i'm behind in my work and i still like to think that everybody has good in them even when they screw me over multiple times. and i don't think that's normal. even though i can get really pissed off at someone about something, most of the time the next day i'm over it. i mean, it has to be really bad for me not to get over it. like if someone repeatedly is a butthole moron, my opinion of them keeps decreasing and decreasing until its almost impossible for them to regain respect. why am i talking about this?
and why can't i get up in the mornings?
probably because i'm doing stuff like this. non-important, winding down, chillin out stuff. hmm....maybe that is important.

"beneath the surface of everyone's life, especially the more mature, is an ache that will not go away. It can be ignored, disguised, mislabeled, or submerged by a torrent of activity, but it will not disappear. And for good reason. We were designed to enjoy a better world than this. And until that better world comes along, we will groan for what we do not have"

a new avenue

today i went to michaels and they had several craftsmen there with their work advertising for classes that are going to start soon. one was crochet, one was cake decorating (which would be so awesome - i'm gonna take that one day), and another was airbrushing. HOW AWESOME IS THAT? i'm so going to take that class. i told the guy that i'd done some murals and would like to do more but it would be so much better and easier if i learned how to airbrush. i thought i'd post some shots of my murals since i FINALLY learned how to post pictures. hoorah hoorah!

dream records

mom and i went to the circus last night and i was reminded of a dream that i had probably when i was about 5 or 6. i dreamt i was at the circus and somehow i was placed on top of a platform that rose probably near 100 ft. in the air and was turning around and around. i could see far below me the crowds of people. i felt like i could slide off at any moment.

lately i've been wanting to get my ear pierced at the top. actually i've wanted it pierced since i was in high school, but whatever. anyway, last night in one of my dreams, i was walking into claires. the salesperson was busy so i decided i would pierce my ears myself. next thing i knew, i had stuck a needle through both of the tops of my ears. the minute i did it, i knew i shouldn't have. my dad used to tell me that if you tried to pierce your ears yourself that your ear might fall off. HA. well, it turns out in the dream, my right ear did start to decay - right there in claires. it was all oozy and gross and disentegrating. the salesperson at claires was helping me though - trying to repair my ear or something. i think i had gone into some kind of shock. i threw up. the weirdest part about the dream though was that i had also pierced my fingers on my left hand and also the tops of my feet. how that was gonna work, i don't know, but it really hurt. i woke up with a sigh of relief that it wasn't real....i still wanna get my ear pierced though.
