Facebook

Ok it's cool that parents can have a facebook so that they can keep in touch with their friends and family and even secretly stalk their kids, but do we really need to what you got at the grocery store or that after you dropped the kids off at school, you cleaned all the toilets?
Seriously what is up with that?

It's my sister, Amy Hoffmeier!
I made her do this for my birthday at the mall, too bad we didn't have the music.

mix 103 for your work day

My life is not complete until I hear John Mayer on the radio.

"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, 'Hey girl, magenta!' and she's like, 'Oh, you mean purple!' and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, 'No- I want magenta!'"

So I work for an appraisal business and we listen to the same station everyday. No doubt there will always be a little "why georgia why" "waiting on the world to change" for us. But I'm afraid that I'm becoming too green and not glowing lime. I need some variety!

It's a good thing that I get to do all sorts of actual work. I get to go take pictures of houses, check utilities, answer phones, make appointments, type up appraisal reports (all in very nice cars) and on the other side mow the lawn, take the kids to soccer practice, feed the baby, etc. It's all very entertaining and I am excited to go to work everyday and see what it is that I get hooked up with (my bosses favorite phrase I am catching on to). I'm also glad that I am finally learning all the lingo and actually know what is going on now. Sometimes the work is tiring but I need the moolah. And what's really cool is that I should be getting hooked up with a Kings Dominion Summer Pass to take the kids to once school gets out. How cool would that be to get paid to go to an amusement park?!

big ball of sweat

Today I went running for an hour in the great humid state of Maryland. Once you're done doing that, this is what happens......

You leave an outline on the sidewalk when you collapse afterwards.
Your shirt is soaking wet and it feels like you wet your pants.
Your not allowed to sit on the couches or your mom will yell at you.
You can't cross your legs, they just slide off each other.
You feel like its a hundred degrees in your house when you walk in.
You take a shower but no amount of towels can dry you off.
You straighten your hair and it is curly in the next 10 minutes.
You play DDR and you slip on the mat because your feet are sweaty!

Nonetheless I felt so good today after finally running like I said I would every day this summer even though I've almost been home a month. It's finally starting to be humid though, while before it was bearable. It finally feels like home. And it's so good to be back. =D

Yes, I finally made it back to Maryland and am now living the suite life at home for the rest of the summer. I can take joy in the fact that while my sisters agonize over AP tests, I am over that, and I have already finished 4 years of seminary. Today, I went to a YSA devotional. mistake.

I can't munch and mingle without my mom!

My sister gave up her extra bed for me, my Dad pays for my gas, my Mom will make my lunch, and best of all, I didn't have to search around for a job and go to all those interviews.

This is the suite life...
