Happy Belated Birthday Erika!

Yesterday was my sister's birthday and I forgot to give her a shoutout! She's so excited to be 17! Can't you tell?

Seriously Erika is a great sister. She lets me have the big bed at night and talks to me in her sleep so I don't get scared. She would rather set her alarm at 6:30 in the morning to go get breakfast than sleep in on her birthday and instead of relaxing would rather go play an intense game of basketball. She braids my hair and gets people to play frisbee with me! She'll always laugh with me no matter how silly I'm being, which makes me very happy and grateful to have her for a sister. She'll wait in line for the portapotty with me for 30 min. And when it's really hot out she'll take me skinny dipping and snorkeling!

Don't get too old you can't do this with me:

Erika -- I love you! Have fun being 17!
Will you be my sister forever?

Minus one toenail

Recently, I just pulled my toenail off after stubbing it on a wall playing basketball. It probably took the whole night to get the whole thing out. Then, the next day I heard horror stories that since I pulled it out past the cuticle, it would never grow back. I certainly hope not! I want all ten toenails to be there when I die. The video is bad quality but kind of cool to see. Of course I still played basketball the very next day. A couple people even stepped on it but no worries it didn't hurt at all!

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?!
