I'm Mmmeeellting. . .
Cause its friday night, and I'm feelin' right, oh yes its friday night, oh what a night!

Besides that I got a new cd by Yael Naim. She is Jewish and Tanisian. Her style is truely beautiful and unique. Only half the cd is in english but it is great music. I'm glad I got it.
A Funny story from dinner: During our grand Family dinner of steaks, baked potatoes and ceasar salad the kids took over the table and kitchen floor since we are only down to three chairs. The rest of us were in the living room. Just minding our own conversation all of a sudden jayden picks up his steak and the rest of them are giggling as he mimics the scene in Napolian Dynamite when uncle rico picks up his own steak and tells kip to watch as he throws it at napolian on his bike. Jayden pretends to throw it as mom yells at him to put it down. Then he sits and mumbles to himself. "ya a betcha I could throw it over those mountains over there." I couldnt help myself that the three of them were over there talking about that. So busted out laughing knowing well they could have only gotten this way over time from me. They make my life better.

Some people. . .
RRRaaaarrrrr!
Finally an ADVENTURE!!!
Today tuesday. We again havn't had meeting! Its getting rediculous we've missed a weeks worth. Its driving me nuts. And interfering with my service time. lol Anyways, Today I got up ate breakfast, Oh thats it, ya, yesterday I made a big breakfast for everyone. It was great I even grated my own potatoes for hashbrowns. :D I was so proud. lol back to today. I got up, ate, yes then I did the dishes and when i was done told every one i was going to work and to leave me alone. Not under any circumstances were they to bother me. So I went in my room, turned on my music and lit some insence and what do you know only five minutes later my mother has to put some socks on my bed. *rolls eyes* I swear this woman.... Anywhosle of course she kept trying to make excuses to come in and take a peek at whatever I was working on. Now this kind of things pisses me off to the tenth degree. Its no wonder I hardly got anything done. I mean I made a few good ones today but I wanted something great! Maybe next time. Later when I was done I went to eat dinner and afterward did more dishes.
Once finished mom wanted to go for a walk. A WALK. hmm oh sure with two feet of snow at eight at night. I'm thinking there is nooo way. But you know how it is. So because I don't have snow gear like everyone else I just casually put on two pairs of pajama pants and then an orange knit skirt lol dont ask. And a sweatshirt and puffy jacket. Also my furry hat. (from previous pics) Get my hiking boots on and take the dog. Yes I looked like a crazy person. I was acting like one too. You never know what will happen when you leave my mom and I together. We are dangerous. Like walking down the icy road in the dark all the way to town. Not the brightest idea. But we survived. It was pretty hilarious tho. Everytime a car would come she would try to make us walk in the snow. Which was almost three feet piled up on the side from the road. By the time we got to town I thought my feet were going to have to be amputated from frostbite. lol I wasnt even cold. I was sweating hot because of hiking thru all that crap! We made it all the way to Haggens and I stayed outside with the dog while mom went in and got some tea. I put my puffy jacket on the floor of the entrance to the place and sat down with the dog. We all prolly looked like homeless people, well me for that instance. People looked at us like we were too. It was funny. I love watching peoples reactions. I couldnt have looked that terrible cause a lot of guys kept checking me out when they walked in or out. One even offered me a ride somewhere but I explained I already had one because in reality we had called chris and so he was on his way to get us. Poor guy fell down the stairs too when leaving home. So when he got to us he blamed it on us the whole way home for going out and doing something pointless.
I like doing stuff like that. :) It definetly was an adventure. I wonder what I'll do tomorrow?
Heres some more pics from the last three days:

Jasper fell asleep on chris's feet. I'm still terrified of this dog.

Taken from the back door. The table and chairs w/ 2 feet of snow.

Kids during a morning family watchtower study. he he he

No matter what time of year we are always eating fresh salsa. lol

My daily reset button! . . . . . .What you don't have one too?

Good Vibes
Killing Sunlight~

Meeting was obviously cancelled tonight. But something very interesting happened on wednesday some elders came over and asked us if we could switch halls. It's nothing personal just that they are really trying to put the people in the right hall like us we are really in smokey point territory. The Arlington Hall is just getting too big for a few elders. So they are splitting us. At first we didnt like the idea but now I'm ok with it. I mean there are positives such as less distractions, not as many prejudices, new friends, closer to good examples. And Theres going to be a new spanish cong. I am really excited for that! I'm goin to try to persuade them to have a language class. This is all just Jehovahs direction I know.
Tonight I am watching the movie Beautition and the Beast. But all day I'v been craving Weezer. So I listened to all their albums online. Isn't it just the best rocking out and belting "say it aint so"? I mean you haven't lived until you throw yourself into their music. Even tho I prolly looked and sounded like a crazy person I felt amazing afterward. lol Nothin else is really new. I will take more pics tomorrow. Its supposed to snow for the rest of the week and next week. Lets see! lol
Also I want to give a written shout out to my totally awesome friend Jordan that almost died tonight but he couldn't cause I told him not to. lol He is going to go snowboarding tomorrow. Lucky, I havent been able to break my board out yet. Maybe I will try tomorrow too. J and I are pretty tight we are colaborators in music. And share similar intrests like being dorks. I <3 him.

My Misson:
Today I was givin a mission: To destroy this chair since it was already broken. You can't tell. But if you sat on it? Yikes. So I carried it out side to the driveway and gave it a Mak-Attack! lol As some of you put it. This is the BEFORE and the AFTER: lol It was fun. Gave me something to do. The small pile was the nails and bolts. the big pile was just plain old wood to be recycled. :)

Warm Whispers

Snow Day!!!



Saturday Dec.13,08 (aka yesterday)
So we decided to randomly drive down to tacoma and go to the art museum. It was awesome.I wanted to go to the history museum too but we'r gonna save that for another trip. There is two different art musuems the regular one and the glass one which has a lot of Dale Chihuly's art. I love him he is amazing. The gentleman that my mother and I house clean for actually is friends with him so he told us he might be able to arrange a meeting. I am so excited that would be undescribably cool. Here are a few pics from the trip. What really sucked was we just got there and my camera went dead. I was bummed but it didnt really matter to me. Some of the few collections that were there dated back to the early 17-1800's. I could see the paint flaking. Each time I moved on to another one it blew my mind being able to read about the artist and the painting. That kind of experience is something I live for. (But Jehovah is first of course) 
After the Museum we walked around te park that is connected, including the bridge of glass. Keep in mind this is not a real bridge made of glass. lol I wish so much to take some of you there. Later we drove over to the train sation and ate dinner where all the food places are inside. Some of you may have been to the train station before. It is next to the dome. It's a big long green building, with lots of shops. I found a pin that I really really wanted. It was ten bucks that I didn't have obviously. But it was so cute a little bycicle made out of steel wire. I would have worn it on my scarves. lol maybe I will go back and get it. After a few hours we decided to go home but before that we tried to find my name in the cement from when I was a little girl visiting my dad on the weekends. Unfortunaly we had no luck.Friday, December 12, 2008
Get out of my Nook!!!
Most everyone knows this by now but if you don't, I am a frequent Office watcher. Faithful devotee to Dunder Mifflin. And to my friends that just watched the last episode I would so NOT be like meridith if i was drunk! I don't find that funny. lol
Lately I have found some music to my appeal:
- The Kings of leon (sex on fire, charmer, on call)
- Sia (breathe me, Day too soon, You have been loved)
- A fine Frenzy
- JEM
- Adele
- Massive Attack (teardrop)
- Modest mouse
The most emotional man of all time Damien Rice!I own all of his albums he is absolutely amazing! Most of these artists arent new I just have been in the mood for them and those songs i listed are must haves!! (if you kno what i mean) you gotta give a listen, they make me happy i think they would do the same for you.
Tomorrow I have no idea what i am doing but i'm sure it will be an adventure. I feel good about today tho. Seems like I may have gained a little more insight into what i am going to do next in my life. Support and motivation as well.
On Heavy Lifting my time at the gym has been spent well. mmm hmmm I go with a lot of buddies that lift weights and have a ndew friend from Darrington that does real heavy lifting in competitions. He is cool we hang out sometimes he works at a vitamin store and for our circuit assembly he had an allergic reaction and his hands turned purple it was hillarious because the girl he liked has teasing him about it. Anywhosle i am almost to my miny goals. On the flat bench press i made it to 100. (im working my way back up) On inverted 70. Lat pull downs and back im at 100. shoulders only 50. Leg press 260. So not amazing for now but I am slowly getting there. My mother thinks I'm going to bulk up and become this huge fat monster. But I been doubling on cardio as well. So I am seeing results fast. And I think I look fine. I like being strong I got guys to help me out when I'm there with spotting and such. It feels good to excersize. It also makes my butt really firm and perky. lol the other day my brother was walking up the stairs behind me and he rwammed me in the butt with his head and was like ow your butts not jiggly anynmore and then starts hitting it. lol I told him i would take that as a compliment.
I decided to paint my toenails black They look really cute. I need to take some new pics really bad. This morning was not my morning i got to the hall and had spilled coffee all over myself. then later found out my water bottle was open in my purse so everything got soaked. Luckily my camera was not fried i was so scared. I have a friend that had the same one and i hear they actually can break! I thought those camera's were bricks, I guess not. So close call.
By the way my cat watches t.v. and my dog talks. my life is weird. Still no snow.
Blue Sky's on a Rainy Day
(Or is it rambling)
So like I said this week was our C.O. visit and it was fabulous! Today I went out in service even though It took A LOT for me to get out of bed. My health has not been good for the last two months. Like Mo always says, "Mind Over Mattress" a phrase I have adopted. It was so cold today, my goodness! I usually don't get affected by the cold but like I said my health hasn't been so great. i wore my big wool coat but what I really needed was a HuG! ;)
We are hoping for snow this weekend even tho you know over here we dont get anything but slush. So maybe that will overjoy the youngins. All day it's been super windy sometimes it sounds like the house is gonna just rip off the ground like in The Wizard of Oz. *snickers*
Anyways service was prolly the best it's been in a long time! Not saying I don't enjoy going out I do very much so. But today was exciting because this morning I got to do letter writing with a small group including mo and lori. After that got a snack and did return visits or n.a.h.'s Everytime someone was home I tryed super hard to contain my shivering. There was a couple houses with big dogs that I wanted to do but they wouldnt let me. lol Lori and i started a study with one lady tho. After we went back to the hall where a lot of brothers and sisters showed up for lunch and association. Then after we all gathered in a big circle and sang kingdom songs while Mo, Bryce, and marc played guitar. It was so fun because i really got to sing.
Now I am home sitting in my big green chair next to the fire place. Feels good on my feet. If you kno me you kno that i hate wearing socks! Actually I had to go take some friends of mine some dinner last night becuase they are a young couple that just had their second baby. And i went Barefoot. They thought i was nuts. Oh well. . . What's really weird is that my hands never really get cold. Well except when I'm driving! I hate it! Does that ever happen to you? I have to keep gloves in there or put the vent facing toward them. Ooooo did I announce yet that we finally got a cordless phone!!!! Yay i love it. (so ghetto)
But i really do have to say I miss that old napolian sized cord. he he he
The cool thing about this phone that everyone is fascinated with the fact that it has a couple different ringers on it but it has one that is identical to the Jarassic Park cellphone. It's aweosome every time it rings you feel like there's a dinosaur around the corner. lol I think you could say i didnt keep my word i wrote too much again. I'm gonna finish this one but I still have more to say so I think I will write another later.
Toodles!!! (you can tell I'm in somewhat of a good mood today)

A little midnight snack.
Not doin much but listenin to snow patrol and iron & wine.
With a half smirked face I write to the blank silence of the night.
Is it normal for me to be particular about what cup I shall drink out of? Seriously almost all the cups in the cupbard are smelly plastic due to the kids. i just want a nice clean brand new tall glass one. And so thats what i did. Bought my own! (we will see how long it lasts)
Today i felt really Lost.
Perhaps thats why i was looking for answers in the wrong places, whos saying theyre wrong maybe just usual. But life is running short in this system, I feel it. If it does come in my life time i hope someone would run to my side and not let go till we get to the other side. Just a random thought.
I have a butt load of pictures I have taken recently from the various walks I've gone on for the bare sanity of my mind. I find myself sitting and staring. You may think there is nothing wrong with that but the fact that I dont know why or what i am staring at scares me. Someone told me i think too much the other day. (how dare them)
Maybe thats why I decided to live in my friend lacey's bed for four days last week and cutt my hair the shortest it's ever been and give it red highlights? i duno, don't ask me.
I like it for now. Long hair has always been my thing so i can garuntee it wont stay like this.
Are you kidding me? I miss the morning light, lounging in bed. Hair spread all over the pillow and my face. i needed something to get me through a change lately and what better way for a women then to cutt all her hair off?
A New Me-
So with this new hair style (pics soon to come)
paired with a leapored print blouse, cute curve showing skirt, fishnets and my patened leather buckle pumps i was looking fierce!
To top it all off a new attitude. (Oh you 've gotta hear this)
I will have finished Highschool by january. And I will be starting College before this summer.
Working part time as an Aquatics Instructor and Lifeguard. I enjoy being constantly surrounded by little kids. I think it's Jah's way of taking care of my needs becuase he knows I want them. But not in this system. Becuase of this winter and the economy, pay is slowing dramatically, meaning I need a second job pronto! I got bills too ya know. I will keep you posted on that one.
It seems like everyone is suffering. People in my cong. are going throught a lot. It makes me sad. But that is why I am so glad this week was our C.O. visit.
Mo is such a warm guy. He makes me laugh. The other day he was telling me that sunday they are gonna bring lunches and by that he meant pioneer steak-aka-pbj's. lol goodtimes!
Oh man there is so much more going on. And I have discovered a lot of amazing music too.
It wouldnt be fair to tell all my mysteries in one story tho huh?
Adios!
p.s. I may be going to help out where the need is greater next year. I am making it a goal even if that means not getting a car first. The group would be going back to El Salvador or Hunduras. So I been getting back to practicing my spanish.
