On the Bright Side of Life

It's been a good week so far. Today was especially good. I slept in, read some more of the New Testament, and had a relaxing but productive day. I drove Mom to work late (she didn't feel well when she woke up originally), then went and stopped by the Pelrines' and caught up with Mary a little bit, which was awesome. Then I went downtown and handed out Blood Drive posters along Main Street. We're having a blood drive at the Church on Saturday, so I wanted to get the word out about that. I stopped at Darrell's Music Hall while I was down there, of course, and looked around in there! I saw them unloading and putting together a BEAUTIFUL baby grand piano...it was white...I think I almost drooled! I also finished cleaning my room today, so now it's clean and there's a lot less cat hair in it! I think I'm going to light a candle...

okay, now it's lit and pretty and will smell good! Even though I need to go to bed relatively soon. Because I have to be at work at 5am tomorrow. Oh the joys of having completely flexible hours for the grocery store! But at least I'll be done before the morning is over, so I'll have lots of time to finish other things on my list of things to do! OH! And I got to talk to James today, and we made some plans for while Mom and I are in Alaska. Woohoo!

Yesterday Steven and I took a road trip up to Laconia, and saw Lake Winnepesaukee while it was dead, before tourist season. We also found a drive-in movie theater. And Rollercoaster Road. And Karen's Gifts and More. And tons of other fun things! It was a great road trip. Okay, I've gotta go now, as Michael wants to show me something and so does Mom. :) I'll post some pictures later in the week! :)

    You always seem to find the bright side of things. Just an ordinary day but you make it sound so much fun.

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378.

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r

You make me smile

Stanford Larsen:  One of my dearest friends.  Also one of the few people in this world who never let me down...ever.  Every time I think back to memories with him, i can't help but smile.  He has left a smile on my heart forever. Watermelon always makes me smile.  No other explanation needed. My cats make me smile.  They purr and are happy kitties. Snow of course.  Snow snow snow!  Snow angels, snowballs, snowmen, snow forts, snow fights, snow shoveling, snowfall, snow! My family.  They're all my best friends.  I couldn't ask for a better family...ever. Mater.  Cars.  The music in the movie.  Watching the movie over and over again, on rainy or sunny days.  Lots of memories that go with this movie, too. Country.  Country music.  Country dancing.  Country movies.  Nashville.  Country stars.  Cowboys.  One in particular.  All of these things make me smile like I'd never smiled before I found them.  I want to be this! :) Lots of things make me smile. Lots
