It's a No Shower Time

Well, the weather has finally started to cool down just a bit. Now that I've said that I'm sure it will skyrocket once again. I'm really sorry if that happens.
Today I was supposed to work from 12-5pm but it was so slow that Mallorie let me go for the day at 3pm. After eating some free food :) I decided not to go to my car but to instead walk across the street to the beach. There was a really nice grassy area with some palm trees scattered around right before a parking lot and the beach. I decided to sit/lean against a palm tree and just take some time to think/relax/refocus.
It was such a nice time of day. The sun wasn't trying to burn me alive and the ocean breeze was perfect. It was time to mentally sort some stuff out.

Thanks to everyone who came tonight! It was so much fun!!!!!! It's almost 2 am and of course now my mind remembers that I have a pre-op appointment early tomorrow morning. Yay.

And my Mom just made me try oatmeal for the first time and it's yummy. Any special ways you like to eat it?

Calling All Angels

The twins graduated from kindergarten today! They had a little graduation... nothing too big obviously because after all it is only kindergarten. But it was adorable. I'm going to put up a little video later of them singing. It's too cute. :)
Anyways, have any of you seen our garage? If you haven't (lucky you) or you don't remember it... our garage is a mess. There are tools, crafts, towels, what have you, all scattered all over the ground and on the shelves in no particular order. So tonight we started to clean it out. It started out horribly. The twins and Taylor were whining about having to help, my mom was frustrated, and my dad and I were arguing. He didn't have a plan of how he wanted to go about cleaning and organizing the garage and I need at least a little bit of a plan so I don't feel overwhelmed. So it started out really crappy but at least it ended well. My dad started to organize his tools while my mom and I started organizing the rafters into groups/piles.

And guess what I found?! A really cool older phone! I'm going to fix it up and use it in my dorm next year since cell service is terrible. This way my conversations won't drop in my own room. Here's a picture of the phone after at least 20 minutes of using my dad's air compressor, a wet rag, and some mild electrical cleaner.



YEAH!





Unfortunately, the cord is severed.

So my dad found a normal telephone cable for me so I could use some of his tools and cut off one of the jacks and then strip the covering off the wires so we could just hook it up ourselves... but when I took off the cover... this was inside--->

Of course. This telephone uses one of the older style four wire cables. That's gonna be fun to hook up later! With my daddy's guidance o' course. Doesn't it look cool though?! Here's some more pictures of the inside. The little bells sounds awesome!


Think it'll work?


Maggie Mae loves laying like this. It cracks me up every time I see her.
Wildabeasts are vegetarians? Hahaha, whoooops.

Watch Over Me

Well, sometimes the world stinks. Maybe even sucks. I couldn't type anything understandable here... not even any "word vomit." So instead of forcing a post, I'll just leave it here.

Here's a new song that I really like. It's called The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson. Don't worry, I'm not buying Rogaine any time soon.

---EDIT---

HAHAHAHAHAHA
