kid taxi

2010-07-18T16:49:00.000-04:00

Picking up kids from camp and activities is frustrating. Trying to find a parking spot in a lot full of vans that seem to take up more than one spot. Then trying to find your kids that all look the same, and then trying to get them out of the place fast enough without getting stopped by other mothers and the same questions they always have. That was until I picked up Kyle and Olivia from the YMCA camp. You pull your car up to this line and while your waiting people come down the line and have you sign out the kids your picking up. And then they start letting the cars pull through. You pull your car up to one of the spots that are marked on the curb, and then someone comes to your car asks who your picking up. Then they go find the kids for you and bring them to your car. You don't even have to get out. I was in and out of there like nothing, it was amazing.

2010-02-15T13:25:00.000-05:00

There's something about NASCAR that gets my blood pumping. All those cars hitting around 200 mph, the slightest turn can send them flying. Last night was start of the Sprint Series with the Daytona 500. If anyone were to win it, besides David Ragan of course, I would want it to be Jamie McMurray. He's a good guy, and he deserved the win. But David Ragan will always be my favorite :)

aquariums.

2010-02-11T16:58:00.000-05:00

I've always loved aquariums. I think there so relaxing just watching the fish go all around. I want a giant fish tank in my room that takes up the whole wall! Like the ones in that have the different kinds of fish in them, with all the turtles and sharks. Then I would just fall asleep to watching the them swim all around.

dream job.

2010-02-01T18:18:00.001-05:00

Everyone always asks me what I want to do in the future, like what I want to major in for college. And I always say special education. It's the easy answer, something I wouldn't mind being. But my dream job would to pick all the music out for movies, like the soundtracks. But when I think about it more and more, it just sounds more and more off. There would be no way I would be able to do this, is there even a degree for this? I have no idea. This doesn't even sound like a real job, so for now it’s Special Ed. It makes me happy, it’s rewarding. I will always be able to find a job in this field. And who knows, maybe in the far future this dream will become a reality.

piles.

2010-01-31T16:29:00.001-05:00

They'll be the death of me. When I don't have time to clean my room or put things away I make little piles all over my room of things that go in the same spot or are similar to each other. I always tell myself that when I have time I can put it away and it will be much quicker. But then it never gets done, and I end up with these piles of the most random things all over my room. Currently there are 5 piles in my room. One for clean clothes, one for dirty clothes, one for hats and such, one for books, and one for projects that I want to get done but seem to forget about. They are all over the place, until I get to that point where it drives me nuts and I stay up till 3 in the morning cleaning because I can't sleep until it gets done.

2010-01-30T21:00:00.000-05:00

I was accepted into Southern CT State University! I'm not sure if this is where I’m going yet, it depends if I get into Keene. But it is such a relief, I’m going somewhere. This makes it so real, like this is actually happening. I'm really going to college, and moving on with life. I have no idea what will happen in the next couple of years, hopefully good. It’s the time of the year where I say this is my last time doing this.. next year you won't be around. Sometimes I feel like I’m dying or something. I guess I kind of am, this part of my life is dying that is. It's such a weird feeling, this time next year I’ll be in college somewhere. Not at home with my parents sleeping in the room right next door or my dog always there knock me over or step on my feet. But with a whole new group of people who I haven’t known for my entire life, and living on my own without my parents there telling me to go to bed or do my homework.

blue skies.

2010-01-29T17:41:00.001-05:00

I always seem to be so surprised every time I look up at the sky and it’s extremely blue. I'll be driving and suddenly realize that the sky is bright blue and the clouds are amazing. I always freak out and tell em all excited, and she always says "you say this every day, the sky looked like that the other day too". But I just think it's so pretty. The sky is the only thing untouched. The only thing that man can't build on and destroy. I always just want to fly around in it, soak it up. haha that sounds so weird but how awesome would that be to fly around in the sky and through the all the clouds.

That’s how I picture heaven, up in the skies flying around in the clouds. Looking down on everyone and everything. Every day the skies are bright blue and the clouds are big and fluffy. And you’re just always happy, just being alone with god, in the blue skies.

the everlasting father, the prince of peace.

George Friedrich Handel's Messiah honestly makes everything better. Just sitting in the jeep with it turned up all the way relieves all the tension in my body, and immediately puts me in a better mood. I don't know what it is about it, all those instruments maybe..

good day :D

2010-01-26T20:41:00.000-05:00

Such an awesome day today.
1. I had free first so I didn't have to go into school until 8:20
2. I had 3 classes, one of which I had a sub in.
3. In math we all got lollypops because our teacher forgot someones name.
4. I had a star on my tootsie pop wrapper!
5. I had the last 2 classes free, so I got out of school at 11.
6. I hung out with taylor, we burned cd's and ate nachos. such a good combo.
7. I went to renew and met a new resident named Lillian. She's awesome.
8. and I finished the day off with potato skins!

2010-01-24T17:04:00.000-05:00

I locked my keys in my car again today. Thats the 5th time this month. And I leave them right in the ignition, every single time. I need one of those magnetic hide-a-keys, but until then I just put a sticky note on the steering wheel to remind me to get them.. hopefully this will work.

Waking up early on Sunday mornings is exhausting, especially when you stayed up late the night before. Sometimes I wonder to myself why I signed up for teaching Sunday school class. But as soon as I see their faces light up when we talk about Jonah or Moses I know I’m in the right place. When I get the hugs and the thank-yous after class I know that this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

the more I wait, the more nervous I get.

2010-01-08T18:24:00.000-05:00

this is the whole group. we are wearing our halloween coustumes.. yes we do perform at halloween parties.

Katherine.

Our very talented triangle player. She can make 7 sounds out of the 11 total sounds thats played on a triangle. Not many people can do that, we're lucky to have her.

Kerry.

Not only does Kerry play the claves (pretty nicley I might add) she ALSO holds the mini american flag. Now that takes skill.

me.

I play the red sticks. You might ask What can a red stick player really do besides hit them together? WRONG. With rubbing the sticks together I create a sound that only can go with the claves and a triangle.

We met almost 8 months ago on a Missions Trip to DC. There A BIG DEAL was born. We not only love eachother but we love to perform. This is why we make a wonderful band.

Rachel gave me hope.

2010-01-05T22:28:00.000-05:00

Lately I’ve been addicted to the GivesMeHope website and I thought I’d right about someone who gave me hope.

Rachel, my best buddy from last year, is mentally and physically disabled. She walked with a limp but never let it stop her. She placed first place in the running competition part of the Special Olympics last year. The next day she brought in her gold medal to show me and wore it proudly all day. Rachel loved me unconditionally and always had a giant smile on her face and a loud "hi lizzie!" every morning I walked into school. Rachel gave me the strength to fight for people with disabilities, she gave me hope that someday everyone will see the true kindness and love that people like Rachel have.

6:51 am

2010-01-05T06:56:00.000-05:00

I have 9 minutes until I have to leave. I woke up too early, I usually have just enough time. I even made my lunch which almost always makes us late. Last night it took me 3 hours to fall asleep. Because of this I got a total of 4 hours of sleep; today is going to be a loong day. But after school I get to go to renew after a long week and a half after not having it, and I get to see everyone! (Kerry this goes out to you hah). So now I have to go Em's yelling at me, telling me to get ready.

Where does it ever say in the bible that Jesus hated people who were different? That he protested against them and used his beliefs as a cover up for his own political agenda? He didn't, he never did. That's why I don't get why people think their the sin police and will go to great lengths to point out other peoples flaws but seem to miss their own.

their precious blood would taste the sting

John Mark McMillan: Death in His Grave

I've watched way too much television today

2009-12-18T18:52:00.002-05:00

Being sick has left me with few options to do today that doesn't make me want to puke or fall over. So I resorted to my normal spot on the couch, and turned on the T.V. I continued to waste the entire day in front of the T.V. It is now 7:00pm and I can't seem to pull myself away. I've watched the most pointless shows you could have ever imagined. I watched women cry about not getting the perfect wedding dress, I've watched "guidos and guidettes" fight over each other, I've watched 8 year old beauty queen's mothers yell at their daughters for not winning, and after watching all this I still cannot pull myself away. So now I sit here trying to do something else, but failing miserably. So I will be finishing the night with watching T.V, getting it all out of my system. Tomorrow I will start new, I will get all my Christmas shopping done, I will finish applying to college (hopefully), and I will do my laundry that has now taken over the corner of my room. Tomorrow will be a better, more productive day.

"I think of this meeting with Ron when I consider Christ, who, like Ron, must have a proverbial envelope in His pocket, laying down picture after picture, knowing our names, knowing the number of hairs on our heads, knowing our stories and fears and desires. He looks at each of us and feels in his heart the kind of love that would make him want to come to earth and die so we could be healed, so we could feel the love that would make Him want to come to earth and die so we could be healed, so we could feel the love that is going to make us whole." (Donal Miller pg.132)

After reading this book, this is my absolute favorite part. When I read it, it makes me get the tingleys all over. No one could explain this any better.

don't you hate it when..

2009-12-11T23:30:00.004-05:00

(1) you have something in your mind, and no matter how hard you try to write it down or explain it, you can't.

(2) the dog wants to go outside as soon as you sit down and get comfy.

(3) food blows up in the microwave, no matter how hard you scrub it doesn't come off.

(4) you forget something you were trying really hard to not forget.

(5) you lock your keys in your car. I tend to do this a lot.

(6) the internet goes down right when you get on it.
