essays

okay, so i just had a big pile of essays come in (a.k.a no life for a while) so here's what i did for the past couple weeks:
(bottom picture up)
1. went to a contra dance with danny. so fun. lots of laughing and confusion.
2. saw sweet art in roanoke on mini tour with josiah and rocky
3. folk the system booked the tour and were great
4. we all ate at my old fav restaurant, the little grill, in hburg
dreamY!

fitness

i've always thought gym clothes were a little depressing and too stretchy (expect for the amazing outfits of joni greggins). so when i found my old r.l. stein shirt-vest, i knew it was meant for the gym. in case you can't read backwards, it says, "night of the living dummy!"

in the same vein, we played pumpkin football at young life this week. we all wore shower caps (even if we didn't have braids) and busted pumpkins and threw people down. it was basically amazing and this picture captures the glory of the event. note: the shower cap on the top of the hair and the bottom of the hair. for safety!

done!

today i hated teaching the children.
luckily, tomorrow is another day.
it's like magic!

campin'

went campin'. favorite things that happened:
1. we stayed bone dry in the rain!
2. we ate madd pancakes.
3. we went to pick apples, but it was too cold so we bought apple doughnuts and took funny pictures.
4. record shopping (got the new avett's, lucinda wiliam's essence, and a pure prairie league album)
5. uber long mid day nap with futuristic earplugs
6. fire coffee
7. bangin' pinapple pizza
8. s'mores take 2
9. campground karaoke->srzly. when jean and i walked up, there was an 8 year old singing "dead or alive." so metal. i sang "build me up buttercup" and this morning i was sitting by the fire and this lady with big hair walked by and said, "hey buttercup." i got the slight feeling that i had done something embarrassing i didn't remember, and then i realized it was only karaoke!

songs that go boom

so they just put in this four way stop at the end of our street. i never noticed how loud it is when cars stop apparently, and it's been kind of a drag with the windows open (i.e. boomastic bass, and screeching etc). it made me think about that l'trimm song "cars that go boom" and then the le tigre cover, neither of which were youtubable. but i did find this gem. magic!

disaster zone

no, i'm not bagging cocaine in the kitchen! this big, fat, bummer happened when i tried to make chocolate chip brownies on a whim. the bottom of the brownies also didn't come out right, but i gave a big runny slab to a neighbor and called it okay. also great, i got to see lucinda wiliams with dreamy friends, and i got to hold a puppy. and yes, those are crocs. and no, i don't want to talk about it.

i have arrived

last night at parent teacher conference, no one asked me if i was a student.
what's up adulthood?!
