Take a Ride Through My Head....

Random thoughts of the day: I'm eating leftover Chinese food. I really like Chinese food. I plan to mow the grass today. English and Sociology are my main focus as far as homework is concerned. Oh my goodness! I need to call Mrs. Sherri today. I loved my French class today.

Enough of what is going through my head... My biking story. I thought it was very amusing but then again it doesn't take much to amuse me. So this may not have the same effect for you. That's okay. I won't be offended if you think it's lame! ;-) Oh, and I totally would have forgotten if someone hadn't reminded me. Thanks friend!

So I'm on a new biking route. I'd been wanting to bike that road for a while. I got ready (workout clothes, tennis shoes, helmet, etc), went outside and looked up at the sky. It was cloudy, but nothing I felt like I needed to be concerned about. I get on my bike and go. My plan was to ride 22 miles one way (to the next major town) and ride home. So 44 miles right? I am about halfway there when my Dad calls and tells me where I am biking there is about to be a major storm and there are already tornado warnings for my area. He suggest I turn around and go home and while I'm doing that (I'm not the fastest biker in the world!) he's going to drive down and pick me up. He works about 30 minutes from where I was biking so I told him I would call RG to pick me up. It would be much faster. I knew he was off work because he was going out of town I just didn't know if he had already left. I call him and he's already gone. He says he is going to call Nathan. I kinda figured Nathan was at the BCM so I didn't think that was going to work. I ask RG if Nathan is home and he says, "I don't know. I call him and find out." I get off the phone and call my dad back and tell him to come get me. By the way, I'm biking and talking on the cell at the same time! RG calls back a few minutes later. Nathan is indeed at the BCM but RG has called his stepbrother to come get me. He'll be there in few minutes.
I'm thinking okay, that's fine... even though I don't know who his stepbrother is. Stepbrother comes, loads my bike into his SUV and takes me home. While driving home we are making small talk and he says something about going to the same college I currently attend. I said, "I don't remember seeing you there." And he replies that I look a little familiar. So I ask what classes he's taking. Turns out we are in the same Comp 1101 class and had no idea that we were. It was really funny! I started laughing!

So I was rescued! My Dad was relieved. I was disappointed in the weather for interrupting my bike ride. I was also highly embarrassed by the way I looked. I was such a mess. I hadn't had a shower, had make-up from the day before still on and was in my little hoochy-momma biking shorts and a spaghetti strap shirt with an over-sized jacket. Praise the Lord for the jacket because I was bit exposed. Plus I had been riding for a good hour so I stunk.
I never let people (besides my family) see me that way. I like looking as though I am composed, put together and in control. There is a time and a place for looking dirty and for allowing people to see you that way. I guess biking isn't one of those occasions for me.

Anyways, that is my biking story. It was pretty funny while it was happening. I just started laughing because what else was I going to do?! It was nice to have like 3 different guys all concerned about me getting out of the storm. Between Dad, RG and Nathan biking all the way home was not an option. :) Aren't they sweet? That's what Fathers and friends are for right?

Blast from the Past

My head feels like it's going to explode. It hurts. I've been doing homework since nine this morning. My back hurts from sitting in front of my computer all day. My legs hurt because I went "tanning" yesterday and spent the entire time on my stomach so now only the back of my thighs are burnt. They hurt like the dickens!

So I've gone back and read quite a few of my blogs. I feel like I've grown quite a bit in the last couple months. It's been good and yet I'm ashamed of how I've been in the past. I've been pretty snobby.

Well, I'm going to take a walk. I need some sort of break and it needs to be something that has nothing to do with the computer! 30 minutes or so of nothing and then French here I come!

Photo Shoot

When Anna and I have time we love to take pictures together. We usually do this on Sunday mornings when we are ready for church and have oogles of time! Today was one of those days. Aren't we beautiful?!









Can you tell who is who?! :)

New Loves

I've discovered a new love for pictures in my blog... :) They make the blog a bit more personal. Well, I think so.

I have a question. How can I be friendly with a guy without him getting the wrong idea?! Because I feel like this is happening. Facebook chat is lame!

I feel like guys have been coming out of the wood-works this week. I don't know why or what has caused it but it's crazy! And I'm not sure I like it. Why does it all happen at once?

Ummm... CoolGuy. I hope you are doing well. You commented for a few days and then disappeared. You should come back. I like it when you comment. :)

Is it raining where you are? It's been raining since yesterday... or the day before yesterday. I don't remember. I just know it's been raining for a long time. It's not even a soft friendly rain. You know the kind you go out and dance in? No. It's let me kill you with my lightening strikes kind of rain! That's not cool and it makes me sad.

Gotta run. The sis and I are going into town for a movie and ice-cream! Love!

Toes and Panties

I'm sitting on the side of the tub in my undies. I've just finished painting my toenails Rapid Ruby red. And I'm thinking about my mom.

When mom would paint her nails they were always red. I don't know why but that was the color she used. Mom's personality could be categorized as the color red. Happy, cheerful, full of love, surprises at every turn and more. So today when I sat down to paint my own for some reason no other color was fitting my mood. I'm not sure what my mood is but it's not Java or whatever that other color was I almost used.

During spring break I learned something about mom I never knew. Apparently she had a thing for pretty underwear and bras. We (Bethany and I) were visiting with mom's best friend and she told us that mom would actually need new panties but if she couldn't find any pretty undies she would walk out of the store without purchasing any!
Do you know how many times I've done that same exact thing? So many, many times. I love beautiful, sexy underwear. And the older I get the more I seem to love pretty bras and panties.

Perhaps this wasn't the best subject to write about on my very public blog, but finding yet another way I am just like my mom has made me miss her. And blogging is at times the only way I release.

I admit I want to cry. I miss my mom right now really badly. I wish we could go shopping for sexy underwear and paint our toes red together. But that won't happen.... So I'll settle for resting in the Lord, painting my toes in her honor and enjoying my girl boxers (my newest favorite kind of undies) to the fullest.

New Favorite Friend.....

I have today discovered a new favorite friend. I haven't laughed that sweetly or freely in a while. And everything that was said was actually funny. Nothing crude, rude or plain ol' dirty. Yes, I have a new favorite friend. And for the first time in my life I'm looking forward to drinking tea. I have a tea date. Fun stuff.

New favorite song?! I have one of those too! This is the day for favorites! Yes! I LOVE favorites!

Okay, so my new favorite song is Firefly by Jimmy Needham. You can listen to it on his myspace page or on mine. I have it playing there nonstop! Here are the lyrics:

It’s tulips and it’s daisies
Your favorite flowers lately
You think that I ain’t listening, but you know I do
With your two lips on me baby
My head starts getting dazey
Don’t give me a flower
What I want is you

CHORUS
It happened on the day you put your hand in mine
You went up to my head just like a glass of wine
Girl, you spark my attention like a firefly
And make me happy to be alive

You move into a room like
Summer breeze at noon time
Baby, out of nine, I’d give you ten
Your love is like an ocean
Surf and spray in motion
Baby, I’m a diver and I love to swim

(Chorus)

These are just simple words of mine
And though most of what I feel is hard to rhyme
Ain’t it good to know your boy gave it a try?
O a try
It’d take a thousand colors just to paint your eyes
Like saving grace, they raise me up to paradise
This ain’t opinion, it’s consensus from my heart and mind
You make me happy to be alive


This song makes my heart melt. I hope one day a guy feels that way about me... And what a cowinkydink! One of my favorite flowers are daisies. I'm falling in love with a song.

Since we're (well, technically just me, but I want to include you!) all about favorites today... *breaks out into song* These are a few of my favorite things!
*bust out laughing!!* Okay so if you read this, you HAVE to comment and tell me your favorites. It won't be fair if you don't. You'll know all about me and I will know nothing about you. I might cry. Well, probably not, but I will feel pretty sad. So you should comment! ;)

Remember. You read. You comment. Or I cry. *grins*

"I like you"

Wow. I have no idea what to do or think. I've known this guy for over three years. Tonight he asked me out and then told me he likes me. I kind of knew that he liked me but since nothing had been said I just ignored the "signs". And since I'm not interested in him like that it made it easy to ignore.

I feel bad because I don't want to hurt him. But if he is saved he doesn't care about his relationship with the Lord and that is so important to me. I can't change or soften my standards on that issue.

Man. I hate this. I care about him as a friend but nothing more. Relationships are so complicated.
