But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.-- 1 Thessalonians 5:8

sometimes...self control and love are all we need. and a helmet. people should wear helmets. hee hee

my sundrenched world...(course i'm in the shade...)







Looks like mom and dad need to come home and see THESE sights! (look how happy i am...it's like Earl's Disney Land!)

this is my pretty!!

I heart Johannah! hehe, but doesn't eveyone?!

oh, there is more...now we have mice.

lovely.

ah..and this marks the first night terror i've had since 2002. Wonderful.

i love to wake up screaming at the top of my lungs.


sweet.

So i just had a scary scary experience. I'm home alone remember...

i'm laying in my bed, chatting with a few friends before i decide to turn in for the night. I'm just having a jolly time being home alone...when all of a sudden something catches my eye. flying around the ceiling of my bedroom is a BAT! yes, yes a bat. I immediately scream at the top of my lungs...and continue to do so for a minute... full minute, maybe even two minutes. But before i know it, the bat begins SWOOPING AT MY HEAD. i scream louder and harder...finally the bat goes into my big walk-in closet and i make a mad dash for the door. I close the door knowing that my cell phone is in my purse on the floor of my room and i have no idea who to call or what to do. i run downstairs and quickly decide to call the neighbor...my second dad, Wayne Smith. (Diana's dad) I knew he would be sleeping because he is a teacher and he has school in the morning, but i didn't know what else to do without my daddy here. so i called and woke up Wayne, who graciously came over with a tennis raquet and battled the Bat. WELL...he was in my room for a minute before i hear him call my name. I go upstairs and he explains through the closed door that he can't find the bat. "Is it dead?" i asked him..."yeah, but i can't find where i hit it to." (wayne isn't wearing his glasses...so he's blind as a...well, bat!) So i slowly enter the room and immediately see it. Cringing i tell him.."it's there...in my bed." Laying in my bed is the dead bat carcass...OH BARF! i'm trying not to think about it...thank GOD for Wayne. that's what family is for, right?!

thank you cats for being lame and not killing the bat for me...thank you mom and dad for being gone during BAT SEASON...thank you Megan for being the biggest chicken in the whole world (i could have killed it myself, but instead i srained a muscle in my neck screaming at it...haha, not really) anyway, i'm going to try to sleep now. if i can....DAD...PLEASE COME HOME! the bats are going to be the death of me!!!

go ahead...tell your friends. laugh at my misfortune. i will...later. its quite unfunny right now. BLACH!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

yessssss! Almost outta here!

Why is it that work ruins my life? There is a concert tomorrow night in the Plaza and i can't go to it because i have to have my final night of work. I could just find someone to work for me, but then really i would feel horrible about not going into work on my final day. I just really really want to go see the concert...there are going to be like 4 or 5 bands playing and they are so much fun to listen to and watch. it really rather depresses me that i can't go and watch them. :( PLUS i just have so much other work i need to do before finals. It's really not cool. I'm feeling sad about my current state...such a predicament. i forsee another looooong night in the library. i spent 8 hours in there yesterday perfecting my ability to be distracted while studying! but i did get a lot of things done! least all my homework that was due for today! OH..and good news. My final on Saturday was cancelled...or moved rather, so i can go and watch my beautiful cousin graduate! YAAAAAAAAY! i think i will!

ok, i'm going to go get some more mountain dew or something. I'm just....in need! Have a good day...
