Countdown

Phew! One week to go till the Thailand team is on it's way to Thailand! I can't believe it's here. seems a bit surreal that we are leaving... In the meantime it seems a bit daunting to think about 2 book reports, a final paper, finishing preparations for the trip, and work all squeezed into 6 days.

6 days...

yikers!

:) Okay, enough bogging. :p time for that first paper.

Have a great night!

Mermaids, Eggs, Pooping, and Prizes!

Today Josh and I were sitting having a casual, run of the mill conversation about mermaids. This is how it went...

I said to Josh, "You kind of look like a mermaid."

After a slight pause (as is his norm) he asked, "Do mermaids lay eggs?"

I paused (as I am not in the normal habit of doing), looked to my right eyebrow and replied, "huh, I have no idea."

Drawing on all previous mermaid knowledge, Josh said, "Well, Aerial never had a mom."

Going deeper (as I'm usually prone to doing) I wondered aloud, "How do mermaids pee? poop?"

He too was utterly stumped.

This lead me to immediately want to post to see if someone would be able to answer the question, "How do mermaids reproduce?" and "How do they pee and poo?"

For anyone who can think of the best, most creative answer to the above mentioned questions, you will receive the most AMAZING high five you've ever experienced in your ENTIRE life!

Piano Anyone?

Lately I've found myself wanting to do new things...a bit restless I suppose, I'm not too sure. I just turned 26. I wonder if anyone suddenly wakes up and realizes where they are isn't where they want to be? And if that person has ever reached that point, if they do something about it? I wonder what percentage of people never do anything about it?
I don't want to become one of those people.
But I am feeling like I need something. Do you ever just feel like you need something to round out your life?

Yahooooo!

A little Song for Right Arm.

Sometimes I can sense things are going to happen before they happen. For example, yesterday I was driving and I was coming up on a red...I snapped my fingers and it turned green! I somehow knew that it was about to change (i know i'm freaking you out right now but please don't be scared of me, I'm still human).

Sometimes having this gift is a curse because you learn things you just don't want to know. For years I have known that one day I am going to lose my right arm. Yes, you read that right - lose my right arm. Believe it or not, I'll be the girl with one arm. I'm thinking (although admittedly still fuzzy on this part) that the stump will be somewhere right above my elbow. I'm not sure how it's going to happen I'm just pretty sure it will .

Anyway, for the past few years I've been trying to work up my left arm to take over some minimal duties such as writing, handling the hair straightener, brushing my teeth... It's been so frustrating! My left arm is like dead weight! Dead weight I tell you! It's useless and since my brain has already developed it's incredibly difficult to teach a left arm new tricks. It's like telling an old dog to fetch, when he has NEVER fetched before.

I have resigned myself to the fate of the right arm. My left still hasn't assumed the responsibility. In turn, I still mourn for this coming day. I appreciate Right for so many things, a killer serve in high school volleyball, shifting gears in my car, texting, raising both hands during a worship song. I will truly miss Right Arm. In lieu of this coming occasion i have written a short song to Right Arm...

(think Mary Had A Little Lamb soundtrack)

Oh Right Arm I miss you so,
miss you so,
miss you so.
Oh Right Arm I miss you so,
You were so good to me!

You fed me, brushed me, blew my nose,
blew my nose,
blew my nose.
You fed me, brushed me, blew my nose,
And turned on the T.V.

Right hand you have wiped my pee,
wiped my pee,
wiped my pee.
Right hand you have wiped my pee,
My left hand can't compare...to...thee!
