Day 42: Cleaning

Day 42. Cleaning.

Ugg. Today was a day spent pure cleaning. Let me set this up for you. I had a closet, TWO dressers, a shelf, and a massive pile of clothes on the dryer stacked full of clothes. Seriously. This was out of control and extremely unnecessary. Who needs two dressers stuffed with clothes? Not me. Ehlana helped me sort all my stuff out and forced me to get rid of some precious pieces.  All that to say, we are now down to one dresser, one closet, and like a tiny pile in my room. I have a ton of clothes to give away and I want to find somewhere that will give them to people who need them. But I'm not quite sure where that is, so I will have to do some research.

But it feels so good to have things in order. Ehlana helped a bunch. She is such a good girl.

After I was done cleaning, I babysat for the Adams and we lounged around and watched a movie and ate pizza. Those children crack me up.



Oh. And I miss this:

Tonight I am really wishing I was in California. With this baby and her brothers. In the sun. And all the wonderful California things.

Day 41: Ice Cream

Day 41. Ice Cream.

Ugg. Nights like tonight make wonder why I decided to do this for 50 days. But I'm on day 41 so I think that is pretty good. Ehlana is spending the night and I really don't feel like thinking of something smart. But I will just say Hannah, Ehlana, and I downed 3 pints of ben&jerrys. Do the math. That is one pint each. Yeaaaaaaaah. My day has been somewhat dreary but so many things tonight have just made it better. I'm sleepy. But I doubt I'll sleep anytime soon. Ok. I need to get back to Ehlana.

Day 40: Christos

Day 40. Christos.

Lunch today= Christos. Hannah has been sick all this week and she missed her dinner out with her work friends last night. So I helped her make up for it by going out to lunch with her before work this afternoon. So good.

and she got cheese...

It was yummy and my mouth is still burnt from all the hot cheesy yum. But I forgive it. Then we made our Christmas lists on the napkins.

Yes. Christy is on Hannah's list and a pomegranate tree is on mine.

Now I am drinking peppermint tea with milk. Thanks to Ehlana. This drink is pure genius. So delicious.

Oh and I have this next week/weekend off of work. Yea me!!

Day 39: Fog

Day 39. Fog.

Ugggg. I am so tired. Working in retail is hard work. I never knew how hard it would be till I started working in it. It is intense.

But I am happy!! It could be any reason. Like these:

1. The bruise on my knee from a hardcore light saber war with Ryan. Needless to say, my brother won.
2. Sparkly nail polish.
3. Pasta for dinner.
4. A job well done at work.
5. The uncomfortable moment when my Lit teacher admited he did drugs in the 60s.
6. Ehlanas new puppy that I get to meet tomorrow.
7. Making friends with nice new people.
8. Worship music for my drive home.
9. Super, scary, dark fog. So heavy Keizer Station was not visible from the freeway. How is that possible?
10. Getting a Green Tea Frappucchino free with my coffee this morning. Quick story: Keizer Station Starbucks always gives me free drinks. Always. Or they upgrade my drink to the next size up. Even if I dont want it. I am always left sitting in my car wondering how I will drink 2 drinks. Somehow I always manage, though. I don't understand it. Does this happen to everyone??
11. Brooke Waggoner. Brooke Waggoner. Brooke Waggoner.

Seriously. Brooke Waggoner is/has been my favorite artist for the past year. I looooooove her.
Here is the link to her myspace.

Plus she has lushious red hair.

Day 38: Pomegranates

Day 38. Pomegranates.

Today I went to grandpas rehab center and we shared the first pomegranate of the season and talked about family, Biola, and grandma. Whenever he buys a pomegranate, he invites me over to share it. So I kept up with tradition. It was so nice. He is such a wonderful man.

Day 35.5: British Babies

Day 35.5. British Babies.

To the little boy in the coffeeshop: you made me so happy.

1. You have a British accent.
2. You are wearing dinosaur jammies.
3. You are buying hot chocolate for your "mum".

Seriously. I want to steal you and put you in a time freezing machine so you will stay this tiny and cute forever.

Day 35: Music

Day 35. Music.

My music taste has been crazy lately. CRAZY. I have been listening to everything from Yael Naim (bedtime) to Mumford and Sons (driving) to She & Him (study music) to Ellie Goulding (music that makes me dizzy) to Taylor Swift (annoy Hannah music) to Gungor (my happy Jesus music) to Hellogoodbye (my highschool/memory music) Temper Trap (music to scream the lyrics) to The Almost (my always playing music) to Justin Timberlake (my never-gets-old-music). I have never listened to such a weird assortment of music. But I like it. It is me.

The song I keep replaying is this song from The Almost. The ending gets me every time...

Oh. Here is a picture of me & Pru from this weekend.

Not sure why I am so pink, but that is ok. It was a fun weekend.
