Day 668

On the road today for about 4 hours.  Naturally, it was unseasonably warm (about 60 degrees) and we were in a moving vehicle.  We enjoyed the sunshine, though!

Day 367

I'm getting ready to head Downtown to root for the Butler Bulldogs at Scotty's with the boys!  Woo hoo!!!!

Day 353

Scrapbook. Eat. Scrapbook. Eat. Sleep. Repeat!

Day 331

Cold Stone Creamery = win (just every once in awhile). ;)

Day 280

Today was an emotional day.  With my grandma being in the hospital, I never know what kind of news I'm going to get from my mom.  One call put me in tears, and then now, at the end of the day, I'm really happy with where things are now.  She's got a great team of doctors, nurses, and techs that are taking care of her.  She's going to a physical rehab facility for a few weeks after she's released from the hospital.  Hopefully, all of this will result in more accurate dosages of her medicines, stronger muscles, and smiles all around.  She's telling people she's going on a vacation, and it is almost a vacation: she'll get meals brought to her, she's staying in a "hotel," and she's going to be waited on hand and foot.  Doesn't sound too shabby, eh?

Thank you to everyone that has been and still is praying for her.  We appreciate it VERY much!  Keep it up! :)

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
------------------------------------------------------------
DAY 200!!!!  Two hundred days.  Daaaang.  Today, Stephanie and I held our first annual (maybe) Fall Photo Day.  We couldn't have asked for better weather.  The leaves were gorgeous, the clients were lovely, and the temperature was warm.  :o)

P.S. This is one of my all time favorite pictures.  I was saving it for something special. ;o)

Tell me something, something that can move me
T-tell me lies, and I swear you're gonna lose me
------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 162.  I left work on time today, woo hoo!  Tomorrow, I shall (hopefully) reap the benefits of working so much overtime earlier this week.  Yay!

Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet
From far, far away
Blue, the most human color
----------------------------------------------
Day 155.  Today is 90210 day, and for some reason that makes me giggle a little.  For some reason this week is just creeping by so slowly.  Is it Friday yet?  ALMOST!

You may be king, you may possess the world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growing old
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 144.  Ryne & I volunteered in the pork tent today (on the last day) at the Indiana State Fair.  The income from our time working went to benefit the Make A Wish Foundation of Indiana.  The forecast was that it was going to be a pretty slow day, but it was pretty steady during our whole shift.  We got a free lunch, too!  We tried the deep fried cookie dough, and it was so good!  I think it's best though that I don't know how to make it myself.

I'm on a boat and it's going fast and

I got a nautical themed Pashmina afghan

I'm the king of the world on a boat like Leo

If you're on the shore, then you're sure not me, oh

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 86. I spent the day ON A BOAT with 9 of my friends. It was incredible to see St. Lucia from the water. It is such a gorgeous island. We visited a stinky volcano, a hot mud bath, a warm mineral waterfall, and had lime juice with our lunch. The ride back from Soufriere was funny since we were bumpin' bumpin' with the waves. Definitely the best day of our trip!

So I put my hands up

They're playing my song

The butterflies fly away

--------------------------------

Day 39. I L-O-V-E hanging out with Andy, Christine, and all of their friends ... whom I consider my friends too. Tonight was great, and it was so nice to just sit around and talk with the girls. The boys were downstairs listening to Miley Cyrus and Avril Lavigne ... hahahhahaaha. Oh, I'm so excited for next weekend!

Well if you are what you eat

In my case I'll be sweet

So come and get some

--------------

Day 26. I'm going to make dinner for tonight. Wish me luck!

And when melodies are gone

In you I hear a song

I look to you

----------------

Day 22. I got my hair cut today, and my hair lady decided to test out a bridesmaid hair do on me (since I mentioned I'll be in a wedding here soon). It's big. It doesn't look bad though, just not used to it. Normally, if it's this big it's all frizz. :oP I took a picture, but I doubt you'll ever see it.

Ready for those flashing lights

----

Day 17. Girls Night Out was a success! We found out that Scholars Inn is CLOSING the Mass Ave. location. I'm not very happy about it, but I guess that'll force me to actually visit the Bloomington restaurant (I've already been to the bakehouse). Stupid bad economy. On a lighter note, I had awesome pizza @ Bazbeaux and a (literally) sweeeet Razzmatazz cupcake @ The Flying Cupcake. It was nice to hang out with all of my girlfriends. I didn't realize there were so many of us!

Be your best friend, yeah, I'll love you forever

Life's a game but it's not fair

I break the rules but I don't care

So I keep doin' my own thing

---------------------------------------

By no means do I wish for it to be winter for one more day, but part of me wishes it was Christmas again. That's the time of year when I get to have a giant friends reunion. This isn't a sappy, tearful "ahhh booo hoooo..." kind of thing, but more like a "dang it, I miss your face!" kind of thing. Dearest friends scattered around the country, come home soon. I'll make you some cupcakes. For that matter, Indy friends - come on over, I'll make some cupcakes for you, too.

Baby loves to dance in the dark

-------------------------------------

Ok, so allow me to clarify before you start thinking I call this lovely woman "baby." I don't. When I saw this picture, a Lady GaGa song popped into my head: "Dance in the Dark." I'm on a HUGE GaGa kick. Concerts tend to do that. Don't be freaked out; all of the lines below my photographs are song lyrics.

Trials and tribulations build up walls

In front of faces made of stone

------------------------------------

I'm in Seattle! It's in the mid to upper 50s here this weekend! Ana & Sunny's engagement ceremony is tomorrow and our whole group is so excited for it. Both sets of parents (and Sunny's sister) are absolutely sweet and I'm trying some Indian food. We wrapped almost 200 chocolates and I burnt some pizza. All in all, a really fun weekend with some new friends. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Inevitably, well it still exists pale and fine 

I can't dismiss and I won't resist and if I die,

Well at least I tried 

Another unsuspecting Sunday afternoon
