Day 127: lets just get it over with

Pinning Practice today...woo hoo...then packing and then painting, which was fun!

This isn't finished by they way...it's just the only picture I have for today....and I'm still trying to figure out which scripture to use....

PS: this was also the day that my computer's power cord decided to be defective and start sparking and what not...so when I get a new one I'll just have to come back and post everything at once (cause all my pictures are on my computer...so I can't post without a picture...)

Day 126: Jittery Joe's

I'm kinda a klutz...which really isn't news to anyone, but I burnt my toe today on my straightener and that was just a bad moment in life.

We had graduation practice today

and then Ansley, Amy, and I decided to go to the store to look for shoes and ended up spending most of the day walking around town...it was lots of fun! We have a Jittery Joe's now

and they lit up the old campus theater lights...which is the only time I've ever seen them on

I also got to talk to Emily and Sarah via google video chat....

Quote of the Day:

"calm down or I am going to fart" ~ Ansley

"Where are my shoes?" ~ Courtney

"Is he cute? No! he has white hair" ~ Ansley

"Oh, I wanna take a bath in the washing machine!" ~ Emily

"We decided to take a break on the big balls" ~Andrea

Day 125: Cinco de Mayo!

We went swimming today!! (click on swimming and you can see Mere's blog, I learned how to link stuff!! ...not really a big achievement but I'm pretty excited about it) but before we could go, we had to go to Big Lots to get sun glasses (yeah we're classy...actually I just break stuff too much for it to be worth buying something nicer...)

As soon as we walked into Big Lots, Ansley found the $3 book section...and I caught Ansley's secret addiction on camera:

Ansley is a book sniffer....

...and I just noticed that the book next to Ansley's head says "The Great Stink"

Quote of the Day:

"What, this isn't working out? I'm sweating!" ~Amy

"Say something else funny today and I'll use it" ~Amy

Day 124: KUBB

I spent the morning packing...or attempting to pack. It was a little overwhelming because I don't even remember what half of the crap is.

Luckily Amy called and saved me by inviting me to play one of my new favorite games: Kubb

Kubb is a swedish stick throwing game that I apparently rock at...like I'm totally thinking of moving to Sweden because for once I am actually good at something! The object of the game was to throw sticks at the opposing team's cubes (kubb) and knock them over and then once you knocked over all the cubes you have to knock over the king to win, and me and mere won, twice! (there are also a few other elements that require a little more strategy but it's really all about how well you can aim and throw a stick)

all the cubes on the far side were mine and mere's and that little guy in the middle is the king

I don't know if you can see it really but this was our whole little Kubb field...playing area...thing.

Amy and Ansley losing....

but it's ok because they later beat me at phase 10, Amy totally dominated that game

Quote of the Day:

"just imagine an overcooked hot dog"

"they call me like I have some infinite wisdom about their uterus" ~Andrea

Day 123: Midnight Breakfast

...this should really be called 10:00 breakfast cause it closes at midnight and they will not let you in. I'm pretty sure I've gone to every midnight breakfast during college and I've only managed to get 2 t-shirts (there are 2 a year and you have to be the 1st 100 in to get a shirt). Except now I have 3 cause I got one tonight!

the quality of the t-shirts have definitely decreased over the years, but this one is surprisingly better than last semesters...I'm not sure why our bobcats have green arms or why they only eat pancakes (pancakes are pretty much always on the shirt somewhere)...we didn't even get pancakes, they gave us waffles...soggy waffles...

I don't know why I was so determined to get a shirt but I feel like I've achieved some kind of major accomplishment by getting one, epecially since some people got there at 7:40 to wait in line so that they could get a shirt...yeah that was not me, but we did wait.

Day 122: Recovery

I was feeling much better today, but I was still super tired. I watched the girls some so Ren could do some stuff around the house, which used to be pretty easy to do, but Blake is starting to walk more now and she gets into everything! and she is SO fast! I don't know how my sister can work, run 8 or more miles a day and come home to take care of these 2 little balls of energy....she's pretty much amazing.

I'm pretty sure Blake had shorts on in the morning...but somehow they were lost during all the day's activities (and by activities I mean Blake climbing onto, into, or under every piece of furniture in the house, any boxes, and I think her and Taylor got stuck in the closet for a little while too...)

Day 121: .....

I was sick...

it was not fun...

this was really all I saw for about 12 hours:

...well actually I only saw the inside of the toilet, but...well you get the point.

luckily I have the BEST sister ever and she cleaned the bathroom for me so I was hugging a clean toilet...

Jeremy was sweet too, he got me some gatorade and a sandwhich (after I was feeling better of course)

oh, and word of advice: don't throw up with your retainer in...
