Wow, I bet you people are tired of seeing that old post.
My break was awesome, so much so that I cannot put it into words.
1. I got to see snow (on my mom's birthday too, she was so excited).
2. Hang out with Michael and Rosemary + cousins.
3. I got to see my oldest friend, Veva.
4. I got to go to the Isaiah studies in New Salisbury.
The traveling back has been the difficult part. Two days, squashed in to the car with seven other people not to mention the dog. Oh! That foul creature they call man's best friend who finds drooling on my lap a most enjoyable hobby. It was a ray of sunshine to be able to stop for nearly 5 hours at the Brown's and recuperate for a while. Sadly, when I finally did get back into the car I developed a sore throat the rest of the way. We got in at about midnight with no hot water to greet us.
Today I woke up at 6 to get my shower before church, I've been feeling pretty miserable all day since then. On that note: I hope that y’all had as good a break as mine and that your return will be infinitely better! I look forward to seeing you all soon.
Don't you hate it when you pack stuff perfectly and then you accumulate more stuff on the trip? (especially over the holiday). I think I can only remember possibly one trip where I can home with less than I brought. It makes cars squishier.:)
glad you had a good vacation! I understand the whole "packed like sardines in the car" thing. LOL but its all worth it when you get you destination, right? lol
I didn't go to the college today until around 6:30 for the play practice. I'll be there tomorrow though. My mom has classes on different days this semester, so I'll be at the college on Mondays and Fridays and sometimes Wednesdays
As I said in my previous post, I'm going to be gone for about two weeks.
Please don't panic, or fall into a depression while I'm gone (I want to be here to watch). I will be back soon. In the mean time I hope that you have a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and a marvelous break.
And remember:
"Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you." -Carl Sandburg
I think it means the opposite: that certain people think they are being charming when interpreting beauty in an ugly way, and Oscar Wilde is, I believe, rejecting that idea.
I could go redeem those coupons without you, but I think that somehow the magic of eating a Chic-fil-a sandwich from the drive-thru will be lost without you there. Oh, and I still need to give you your Christmas present. Remind me when I see you again.
Bethany, Philip and I are going up to Valdosta on Friday to visit some friends of ours and then we will head on to Indiana with the rest of the family on Monday. Words cannot express my enthusiasm for this plan, although we still have yet to find out whether I'll come back to Florida with all my fingers and toes...
Viewing the situation in this light I decided the best course of action would be to get some more clothes. Bethany being of the same mind we went shopping yesterday. Our excursion was highly successful I bought 3 skirts, two shirts, and a pair of really adorable shoes. The skirts and shirts were essential but I'm sorry to say that the shoes were less so. I couldn't leave them behind though because every time I thought about not getting them Charlotte's voice was in my head: "get them they are sooooooo cute!” Moral of the story: fashionable friends corrupt good sense.
I'm a fashionable friend?!?! Wow! And here I was trying to get shoes like yours! :) I'm glad that even though I'm 600 miles away, I am still a positive influence on you! I can't wait to see your shoes!!!!
Do you like the look of a country cottage, or would you prefer a nice old fashioned brick house stuffed with antiques? As for my family's taste in decorating there is only one word to describe it: primitive. And I tell you it is the coziest thing in the world. You don't have to worry about whether things match or how you'll ever get to anything ever again. You don't even have to worry about dusting! You say this is too good to be true, but I tell you that you too can create this timeworn garnish to your own home for nearly next to nothing!
It's amazing in this world of modernism and technological advance that we really have lost that precious homey feeling one gets from an immaculately cluttered house. Have people forgotten the good old days when, if you couldn't find where something belonged, you simply set it on anything that was in setting distance? Now with such recent developments such as book shelves, filing cabinets, and "storage units" it’s simply too easy to be organized then otherwise.
I'm old fashioned myself and I'd like to stay that way. I know that all of you that are reading this feel the same way and are wondering what we're going to do about these futuristic ideas that are being pushed down our throats at every turn. And I am happy to say that I have come up with the perfect solution. Below is a perfect recipe for an antiquated home and a few suggestions about how to keep it that way. It is rather hard to keep up with. So, starting out you may want to try keeping up with one or two rooms, although if the adventurous want to redo the whole house I will not stop them.
1. Don't pick up anything, or if you do set it on something else that has too many things on it already.
2. Always try to find the least available spot for something that you are going to need a lot. Remember when ever you bring in something to your new space always put it exactly where it doesn't belong.
3. Never, under any circumstances put something away. This gives you no chance to experience that amazing little spark of discovery you get when you trip over a box in your way, and out falls something that you've had for so long you forgot you had it.
Sarcasm aside, today dad had us clean out our garage. I will not bore you with the particulars, but it took all day and that should tell you enough. It seems that the garage got that way because of the aforementioned suggestions. I was tempted severely to put up a list of all the things that were in there, but decided against it for reasons of my own. One being that some of the things we found in there were too bizarre. Like when mom opened up a black bag and pulled out a tent! None of us could figure out where it came from. Little discoveries like that were made all day, but we were finally victorious. Right now the van is safely parked IN the garage. We've never been able to park any of our cars in the garage before. It gives you sort of a nice fuzzy feeling inside. I hope very much that your day wasn’t nearly as productive as mine.

Edit: Brian IS right, I made a mistake. I have never been to a hospital in my life. I've never even seen a doctor (except on TV) before. I am truly sorry to all those that I might have misled concerning this.
well, it was the one about what you were afraid of, and i put the one that said mom and dad even though i knew the other was was right because it was so funny!
