sometimes being a dork is a good thing. for example.
Even though my Friday night consisted of me sitting/hobbling *(to be explained later) at home, deep cleaning my room, re-arranging my filing cabinet, re-organizing my desk drawer, watching three greys anatomy episodes but only crying in two of them (yesss i knew i could conquer one) and then studying my skiing magazine in depth... i still feel like tonight was a success. Why? because I i was so happy while i did all of it. not only that. i discovered so many things today.
{i like my toes, i really do, i don't like that my feet get stinky, but i do like my toes.}
{i am addicted to chap stick. it's ok, i know there are tiny tiny glass particles in it that cut your lips to make you need it more, it's ok, i've accepted this as my obsession. at least it's not a drug of some sort.}
{i like to sing at people, it makes them feel uncomfortable. and i like to shake my bum while doing it. makes me feel sexy.}(yep. i said the "s" word.)
{i love two movies that i haven't seen in a bit. Harold and maude. and lars and the real girl.}
{(trav laughs at this one) i only eat half of my fry, i never finish it. and i eat in a circle on my cheese burger, so there is a circle left in the middle. i can't finish it, what if they didn't cook it all the way? i hate dressing on top of anything, i can't have my food touch, and i don't like casseroles. until recently i think the only vegetable i ate was potatoes. don't blame me, we were raised as Idahoans.}

Funny story of the day? i've lived in my home for 11 years, after about three years i could walk around perfectly not looking up, after six i could walk with my eyes closed in the dark, last year i slept walked to the basement from upstairs...
so. Tell me. how is it, that this morning after "kindly asking Brookie to hurry up her shower" (I'm a total hypocrite i hate when people tell me to do that) i was walking back to my room reading a email on my phone i took another step toward my room and someone MOVED the floor! For a brief moment it was like a cartoon, like if i could have i'd have turned and grabbed the air behind me and pulled myself up slow motions style, that fantasy quickly left as i fell down our stairs and crashed hard hurting my left foot and right ankle quite badly, this sending me near tears thinking of my possible ruined ski season i ran up to my room so no one would find me close to tears. my mom ran up to the bathroom and knocked on the door asking brooke if she had fallen in the shower, i giggled in my room and then came out and admitted that i had fallen down all our stairs, ( not a short distance to fall.) needless to say i have been hobbling around all day. and might i give you a word of advice, do not go to the mall during holiday season when you have to hobble, you will get mowed down.
I have a story of prayer for you. i have been praying since may that the snow would come back. and look, here it is, it just goes to show that you have to be patient with the lord and he will answer your prayers in his own time ;)
i hope you are happy. i know i am. life really is good. it's about to get better.
