Blah

I had an ah ha moment on Friday. As you may or may not know, I left work at noon and enjoyed a slightly enlongated weekend. I realized that I would still be at work for another 5 hours!! That killed me. That's a long time. So today all I could think about when I got to work was how long I'd be there. Ah, I can't wait to have a job I love and that's fun. At least this will look good on my pittiful reasume.

So I finally finished the first season of Lost. I liked it. I will have to get the second season DVD somehow and start watching the third season that starts this October. I also got the first disc of Smallville's first season. I liked it. I may pick that show up too. I'm going to be glued to the tv come this fall. I don't know that that's a good thing.

My Dad is out of town for the week on the high adventure with the Scotts. They are going canoeing up in Iowa. My Dad was really excited about the trip. (I realized I hadn't finished my thoughts.) Oh well, the jist of the story is my Dad is gone for the week. Enough said.

Mission: Impossible

So I'm so excited it's almost Friday. My sleep sucking job is almost over for the week! :) So I've decided to write another entry and yet I have nothing to speak of. I updated the poll. This one may prove to be difficult. At least if someone asked me this question. I've only looked people in the eye on rare occasions so I couldn't tell you what your eye color is. I can't even tell you what color my parents' are. Oh well... good luck to all who endeavor to accomplish the impossible task in my book.

Clockwise Consistancy

Saturday I babysat a little girl under a year old and had the best time. She was easy to watch. She just wanted to play with one of those plastic eggs at Easter time. She loved that thing. Anyway, I got bored just watching her play with the egg, so I pulled out my camera and took some pictures of just stuff. I've come to really enjoy taking pictures. So I fear for all you faithful readers out there that my blog is going to be full of them. I may even one day put in a link to a web photo album. We'll see how bored I get another time. Anyway. I hope you all don't find it boring to look at them. I'll try to keep it interesting. So Enjoy. As you look at these pictures I will update you all on my life. I'm 24 still and still respond with 23 when asked how old I am, not because I am trying to hide how old I am, but because 24 just doesn't seem to roll off my tounge. I think this is how the whole "lie about your age" thing happened, pure innocence. :) I'm still working the same old job. I like my job, but just wish I was more busy. I am reading a new author and really enjoying her. Robin Hobb is her name and for those who read Sci-fi/Fantasy she's a good one to pick up. Hmmm, I spoke to the YW last Wednesday about my mission. This is another reason I don't tell the world I served a mission. Don't get me wrong, I loved every bit of it, but sometimes, I don't want to talk about it, and even more don't want to talk about it in front of a group of people. I must have put on three coats of deodorant. :) Not really, but I felt like I needed that much. My sister has made me watch her first season of LOST. So far I've watched 5 episodes. Its good, and intense. I was just thinking that I don't have a show to call my own. All the shows I watch are because of someone else. Hmmm, I need to work on that. (Actually, no, I don't like spending a bunch of time in front of the tv, so nevermind) What else can I blab about? I watched Extreme Makeover: House Edition on Sunday and got misty eyed. I felt stupid for that one. I'm going to blame it on the every blamable girl things, cause I can. :) July is half over. The toilet water still spins the sameway everytime I flush. Thank goodness for consistancy.

Happy 4th of July

I took these pictures at the Royals' game tonight. That's a huge flag. I don't know what got into me either, cause when they started to sing the national anthem, I got misty eyes. I love this country, but never got misty eyed before. Hmmm, I think it must be horpmones.








Some fireworks over the stadium.












The Royals played The Minnesota Twins and kicked their butts'. Royals 7 Twins 2. Go Royals.



Well, I hope everyone had a great vaction, it's back to our life suckers tomorrow. Oh well. Happy 4th everyone!!!!!!!!!

Worth a thousand words

I decided to enjoy the outside this afternoon. It was a beatiful calm day so I got out my camera and started playing with the settings. Here's some of the pictures I took.








I took some scenic pictures too. I thought this one was cool. A feather was caught in a web. Click on the picture to get a better view. It was hard to get the focal point on the feather, but I think I got close.







This one though is my favorite. My mom has a green thumb and had some flowers in the backyard. I took both black and white and color photos but thought the bw looked cooler.





Well, I hope all is well with everyone. Happy 4th. I'm excited, we're going to have a bbq. I love bbqs. My dad is a good cook. I can eat so much of that stuff. But I'm more excited about the fireworks. I've always liked them. Anyway, I'm grateful to live in this free country and am grateful for all those who have and are now giving of themselves to keep it that way.
