mom, this is your birthday post
I love this picture of kati and my mom. It's so fun and cute AND it shows off her nearly perfect skin! Today she turned 51 and she has almost no wrinkles. I hope I look that good when I'm 51. Happy birthday mother bear:) You're a good great mom!
funniest.trip.ever.
me + kate
kate + ghetto tv. ( my mom is rolling her eyes saying, "who cares, it's a tv!")
*In September my mom and i took my little sister, kate, to college at San Diego State! i think that we all 3 would agree that it was the funnest/funniest trips we've ever been on. there are things that we will be laughing about for YEARS and some things that will never be talked about again. oh my gosh where to start?!Top 5 moments:
1-my mom confessing that she thinks i'm so passive that i would choose to drive into a car crash and be killed then swerve and avoid a collison! {all based on the fact that i cried, when i was 16, when my drill team uniform got dyed pink! she says that i should have just got up and washed it. i say, let me have some tears! i'm not a robot! and that has NOTHING to do with fighting for my life!}
2-the girl at burger king starts a fight with me because i came back after she messed up our order. {my mom and kate side with divilicious-burger-king-girl because i, apparently, "sounded really snotty". whatever.}
3-mom realizing that even though the plural for mouse is mice, that does not mean the plural for moose is meece. kati and i repeadedly said, "we don't know why, that is just the way it goes." mom was frustrated.* added by kati: "and the plural thing was...mom said "the plural of goose is geese, so therefore the plural of moose is meese" and i used the mouse example to explain that the plural of house isnt hice. haha. and it was all because of the stupid "fishes".
4-mom pushing both kati and i (see pic) from the dorms back to the car on a cart while people giggled at us. then kati dropped her grocery bag full of candy and leaped after the gobstoppers. good first impressions. haha:)
5-me passing on words of wisdom to kati. my mom was pressuring her to go to her "MANDATORY" dorm room floor meeting and she didn't want to. this is when i said: "you know what i think whenever i get told to go to something that is MANDATORY? I think, what are you going to do to me if i don't go?! are they going to kick you out of school? no. are they going to fine you? no. it's not mandatory it's a misuse of words. at this point my mom was rolling her eyes and making her disappointed face because i didn't go to my dorm meetings. haha.

my itunes library is now perfect
*TIP: organizing your itunes library is surprisingly unrewarding and takes far more time that initially expected.

i spent the weekend in san fran and i:
-had a great time
-didn't take enough pictures-looked at art for 4 days straight...
-spent too much time being a tourist in a (semi)familiar city
-laughed with new people
-became best friends with my ipod
-couldn't understand why the girl sitting behind me in the van had to yell everything (!)
-was frustrated with the aforementioned girl for 95% of the trip
-saw lots of drag queens (san fran + halloween = expected)
-napped under the sun
-listened to an argument in the van which ended in my teacher pulling over so the girls fighting could cool off.
-went to an lame comedy show for about 5 minutes
-chatted with mr. bushman
-danced on the hotel beds to my new favorite tune
-saw paintings by my favorite artist

Xerophobia
Xerophobia: the fear of dryness...or in my case the fear of dry skin. I can't sleep if I have dry hands which is why there is always lotion on my sidetable. Such a weird phobia. What is yours?

epiphany
1998*sidenote: the best time to go to 7 peaks (if you don't have little kids) is when it's overcast and a little chilly because there are NO lines. It was probably the best time i've had there (and i've been ther a lot!) because we walked right up to every slide! amazing!
Back to the story: As we were walking from ride to ride it hit me that we are all big kids now. As in, our entire family can all go on the big kids rides! Camryn and Clay didn't even take a second look at the kid swim area. Not only that but both Clay and Cams went on the freefall! Twice! I just kept thinking, when did we grow up?!
Example #3: A few weeks ago Ali, Camryn and I decided to rearrange my parent's house. We wanted to change things up a bit. So we boxed up like 200 salt and pepper shakers, used the cabinet that they were being stored in for my mom's china sets and moved the cabniet into the kitchen from the family room. We moved a couch to where the cabinet was. We moved an antique shelf from the kitchen to the piano room, rearranged the whole piano room. Got rid of a sofa, got rid of the computer desk, moved the buffet into the family room. Got a new computer desk in the kitchen....blah blah blah you get the idea!
*side story: Clay walked in as we were finishing the whole project and this conversation ensued:
Clay: Hey dans?
Me: what?
C: I have a suggestion for the rooms.
Me: Ok. Let's hear it.
C: ok, how about you move the buffet and shelf back into the kitchen. then you put the salt and pepper shakers back into the cabinet and move the couch so the cabinet can fit into that little space. Then you can put the computer desk back and bring the other couch back into the piano room....
---ali and i were looking at him in disbelief---
Me: so what you're suggesting is that we change the rooms to EXACTLY HOW THEY WERE?!
C: yeah. (he was dead serious)
Me: you're unbelievable!
-the joke was on us this time because after we told him no, we had to listen the his chants, "back to normal! back to normal!" all afternoon!
Back to the story: So when we were all finished I kept feeling weird about the antique shelf. It was just sitting on the floor, like what a normal shelf would do. Then it hit me, our family has grown up. There hasn't been a shelf on the floor because for so long there were babies that would get into all the nice things. Now we can have a shelf on the floor. weird. I sat there thinking, Camryn is 11 now and I doubt that she is going to come into this room and break/play with the antiques. I mean, she would probably rather do ANYTHING but play with antiques. So weird.
So after this realization I decide that our newly reorganized piano room needs a candy dish. I mean we're all grown ups and surely we can save the candies for guests. I got a crystal dish and filled it with M&M's and i'm not kidding you when i say that within 10 minutes the dish was completely EMPTY! Wishful thinking huh?! I guess we'll have to wait another 10 years to be able to have a full candy dish in the house! Haha!
