current status of me... "out of one's tree"

Going C.R.A.Z.Y

Whilst I wait for the 9:00 hour to arrive I have been doing various things all day to try to keep myself busy...

A list will do.

*Wake up WAY too early, because I wasn't sleeping anyway
*bug the post office man to give me "the call" early when I can't even open it for another 13.5 hours
*Make the house spotless and my mother happy
*Bake cookies
*Buy cookies and eat them
*Mall (blah, why did I even test that as an option)
*Single woman dance party <-----probably the best decision I've made today
*Visit sister at work and eat her givings
*Movie (Elvis and Anabelle, anyone seen it?)
*text and talk to A LOT of people. A LOT. A LOT.
*watch the clock desperately
*Puzzle of a scout camp?
*Think about how all this waiting is really going to effect my mental well-being (seriously worried)
*sit and stare (oh ya that's a good one..)
*steamed open various other letters to satisfy the urge to do the same a one particular letter

...and so so so much more! So how is it only 5:00??!?!??

But please take comfort in the fact that I haven't dropped dead quite yet....really I'll be fine...I swear

TIME, PLEASE LIFT YOUR WINGS TO THIS TREACHEROUS WIND WE HAVE OUTSIDE AND FLY! FLY! FLY! I'll even give you a boost if you'd like!

Leggi Blonde

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LE-LEIGH!!!!


Today this wonder of a woman had a birthday.

On EARTH DAY.

She was meant for the earth and the earth her.

They are quite good friends

She wanted a rainy/stormy day for her birthday....

What an incredibly weird but most awesome sister I have.

I love birthdays, because we are able to set aside time and celebrate the people who really mean a lot to us. And Leigh means a WHOLE LOT to me. Believe me, if you had one of her, you'd wonder how everyone who doesn't gets through life. Thanks for the 20 years you've spent with me Leigh. I love you so much!

(plus can we take a moment and awe over how intense she looks in that picture....wow...)

Sweatshirts, Blankets and Robes

I love them...

They wrap you up all nice and warm...

They make you feel comfortable...

And they tell you everything is going to be alright...

(technically not the last one, but it definitely feels that way.)

{and if I ever had a snuggie, I'm sure it would fit into this category too}

I don't mean to be frank...

I WAS HUNGRY...

I found a stale peice of bread....

and I ate it....


{there is nothing like a stale peice of bread to curb your appetite...}

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!

SOOOOO EXCITED RIGHT NOW!!!!
SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO PUMPED!

My dad... (Isn't he just a gem?)


just informed me...
THAT I CAN TURN MY MISSION PAPERS IN 120 DAYS BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY NOW! (Instead of the previous 100 days)

APRIL 26th HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*From now until I get my call you can expect (just to name a few) the following from me, distractedness, jittery movements, much more frequent squeals and arm squeezes, higher energy, the humming of victorious music, arm pumping, good game pats, and a whole lot of impatient waiting!
