childhood memories

Today I had a flashback while I was driving. This happens to me a lot. I figure that it's normal... but maybe not. Anyway. I remembered this time in elementary school when we had an after school activity for all the 4th and 5th graders. We got to watch the movie The Emperors New Groove.

I think I was in 4th grade... anyway I just remember that we had all of us packed in the gym on the floor with blankets and pillows. They gave up popcorn and doughnuts. It was awesome. But mostly I remember how funny this movie was. And ever since then it has been one of my all time favorite movies. Anyway, after this little flashback I really wanted to watch this movie... but I CAN'T FIND IT!!! My mom had it, but I couldn't find it at her house...

Now I'm really depressed.

The. End.

Much love.

P.S. I will have my computer back up and running by the end of the week... that way I can actually post pictures... Sorry I'm slacking.

Praying for WINTER!!

Let's be honest... I've been praying for winter since July. I know right? Well, I hate this time of year when the mornings are frigid and the afternoons are blazing hot... A friend of mine also posted about this today (go here to read here amazingness!). I am just ready for the snow to fly. So I can layer my clothes generously and not have to worry about needing to adjust mid afternoon. I want to go boarding... SNOWboarding that is! I want to get lost in the backcountry in the amazing powder.



But may I post a caution... or rather a request?

Those of you who have not had experience driving in the snow... get some. Go to a church parking lot the fist time it snows and take some time to get used to the way a car moves in the slickness of fresh snow... and ice. Or walk. Or ride the bus... or stay home.

Too harsh? My bad.

It's about time!

I FINALLY have my computer working again!! YAY! To be honest the only thing I really missed was being able to work on my photos and all that jazz. I am excited none-the-less. In the time I've been technologically disabled a lot has happened. I moved, started a new job, started school, and have been busier than I've ever been in my life! Oh the joys of being a substitute mother of 5 kids! It takes all my energy everyday to get anything done ... but now that 4 of them are in school it is better. I can actually plan out my day and get things done rather than just wait for the chaos to take over the whole day. So besides that, nothing new... I moved in with the family I am working for. It's nice to be able to sorta sleep in... if you can call 6 sleeping in. It would help if I actually slept at night also. School is good. I say that will a monotone and uninterested voice... My life has been so busy that I haven't had a chance to really get into my classes yet, I haven't begun to enjoy them because all my energy has been going into work. But it is getting better by the week. My art class is really funny, and it's mostly that my professor is a nut. :) My Psychology class is good, the first few classes have been kinda boring, but I think that it will start to get interesting.

Life is crazy. In a good way. I wish I had more news, or some funny story of something that has happened... but I don't. Sorry. :)

I will share a photo tho!! This makes me really happy!

There is actually a shot in the movie Twilight that was shot from this exact spot. It is on the Washington side of the Columbia River going west. SO GORGEOUS!!!! :) Enjoy!
