I will sell you this xanax for 5 dollars...

I feel like I've been super busy the past 7 days. But I've been SO happy, so I suppose that is a good trade off. I don't know why. I just have been feeling light hearted lately, even if I have the vaap's trying to weigh me down.

I think a lot has to do with me just being me more often. It takes me a while to get completely comfortable with people. I guess this week I've realized I've been acting like my weird random self with my friends here more and it feels good! :D

So not much else is new. I have another busy week ahead of me, which rots, but I'm sure it'll be ok.

Oh, after 2 months of looking for new and cheap black flat shoes, I found a pair. and I found a British store in one of the malls here and got one of my favorite card games there! It was exciting, I danced a little in the store when I found it!

Church and lunch after was really awesome today! I'm so thankful God lead me to 1st Baptist! No doubt about that. none at all.

So I really wanna watch the Amazing Race, but Obama is on the tv. I mean I love that he is letting the public keep him accountable by doing interviews and letting us know what's going on, but I'd really like to watch my show. Can't he do it on another night?

March 19, 2009

wow I was bored again and cleaning is out of the question

So I'm kinda tired now. Although cooking tonight I flipped my food with the frying pan toss. I was so proud of myself. I almost didn't do it cos I was like oh no I'm going to spill all my food. Then I was like balls to wall Grybos! ha. I had a long, but good day.

some things are worth the wait

Happy St. Patrick's Day. This day really was never a big deal to me at all. Until my 2nd year of college when I moved in with my now best friend Sarah King. She introduced me to a world of St. Patrick's day fun! I just celebrated my 4th one with her and it was wonderful again. There's few people in life who I feel like I can pick up with them completely whenever and it's a treasure to have someone like Sarah. I just feel like even though we're 100 miles away (almost exactly). When we get together I can tell her whatever and feel completely comfortable around her. Ok, I know this is a random post about the love I have for my best friend. Sorry for that other readers.

I'm going to start a new book tonight, which excites me!! :D I know this is really random but I've been wanting a kiss on my forehead lately and today at school I was sitting down and my one student just walked up and kissed me on the forehead. It made me chuckle a lot! I love my kiddos! ha. So I may just go for it and take a leap of faith! We'll see how brave I am tomorrow :/

March 16, 2009

That's why I don't write blogs

I dunno what you want me to write about? everything important? oh are you going to *click click* Organ this summer? OH where is he gonna go? I don't know! Do you want to go somewhere else? I don't know. I was going to tell you too, umm, umm, *click click*, my brain is mush *singing singing*, what was I going to say? oh um that week that we were gonna come up after school? Do you have school that Monday? oh ok oi. Never mind I was thinking it was the wrong day. Cos they're having a northern neck wine festival, the 13th, that Saturday. That would be fun if everyone came here 1st and then we went down to your house. Yeah, it's not Tuesday it's the Saturday before. sorry. no that's ok, I was totally wrong and... I have to poop. I do to! Did you look up your thing? What thing? Did you look up, ah, the thing on the hill cafe? No I just wrote down the address, I'll check it after school. oh ok. I have faith in my GPS, I love it. yeah... yeah I'm gonna...I printed the instructions just in case, but, I um. I'm just gonna put in the address if I can't find it again. Remember it's east. Yeah I have it on the instructions now. so... You're typing away I'm excited to read it. You'll like it! ohh ohhh ohhh. yeah...yeah.. that's it? What else do you want from me? ahh I don't know. gosh what do I tell JT? She just asked if I have any birthday plans. What are you going to tell her? I dunno. Probably just dinner I guess I don't know. You can tell her I don't care. She wouldn't be able to leave with me anyways cos she has work... yeah. Mr. D wrote on my wall. Did he just write on your wall? Yea I just got an e-mail. He said he'll be relaxing hard work. If he was 40 years younger I'd scoop him up! only 40 years do you know how old he is? umm 62? 62? Maybe 65? That's almost the age of my mom. yeah. Your mom is pretty hot. Are you talking to him on facebook? No he wrote on my wall. I'm not on facebook. What did he write? What are you on?

I'm real cool. Like ice. You are cool. Why thank you mam. I don't think I could ever be married to someone if there was three wives. For the record. I don't think I could either. Me either for the record. It would a little rough. Why are you talking to me and writing a blog? are you ummm... yes i am multi-talented! yeah I can tell... Did you tell JT? uhh I just said I was going to dinner and um I was skipping hand bells. ohh. so... But then I said how was your Monday? and she said she needs a new job.

you think you're Jesus Christ

hey homez. Well this weekend was okay. I had fun running around with Ashley. Spent 2 hours at the eye place but it was actually fun. I may get orange glasses next! They looked nice on me if I do say so myself, but I dunno cos I kinda wanna get prescription sun glasses too. So we'll see. I had Tropical Smoothie Cafe yesterday too, YUM!

So yea lately I feel like I haven't been thinking about much, kinda just coasting around. I have been thinking about what this 22 year old Elise would say to the 16 year old one. ha. Weird I know. But just looking back at promises and goals I made for myself then, sometimes I'm like whoah I can't believe I wasn't doing drugs back then. ha.

So nothing else really new. Went to the Sliver Diner last night, it was good. I got a brownie thing and couldn't even finish it, it was ginormous and so good. I was glad Ashley came with me and meet my "church friends" lol. Weird saying I know, but the Christian at her work aren't really good examples of Christians, so I'm sure it was nice to see some normal ones. ha.

I'm driving to Richmond Tuesday! A bit crazy I know, but it's for a hot date! and I can't turn that down! lol

March 13, 2009

i can see clearly now the rain is gone

It's gonna be a bright sun shiny day! Well it was an interesting week. I learned a lot at the conference and "networked" as well. ha. It was cool to meet people and learn some stuff. So I've been obsessed with this show, Big Love. It's about polygamists and it's very interesting! Not the life for me indeed...

I got new cleaning gloves and I'm really excited to clean the oven with them. Is that weird that I enjoy cleaning? hope not...

ok, I'm going to go read. I'm gonna start keeping track of books I read. Starting with March 2009.

March 8, 2009

what's going on

So I have been receiving bad news all week. It's kinda taking a toll on me, but I just received at least some good news. Helen is out of her coma. Helen the woman who shaped me in my teen years, took me under her wing, always made me apart of her family, and loved me no matter what. I grew up calling her my weekend mom and she called me her weekend daughter. It seems she's gonna be in the hospital for a long time. I think I've been taking it hard because as morbid as it sounds we all imagine what it'll be like when /if our parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends die. Not that I do or did all the time. Just sometimes you think about how life would go on. You just forgot the mentors and other people in your life who had great impact. It really shows you who and what is important in your life. really really.

Well on that sad note. I'm going to try to sleep...
