Measuring Giraffes

So of course giraffes are my favorite animals and this just makes them ten times better. I will of course of live, full grown giraffes at my vinyard but this can be carried around in my purse, just like those crazy people who carry dogs in their purses and bags. Those people are crazy because it makes no sense to bring a miniature dog places but a miniature giraffe makes much more sense.

Easy Complications

Realize this: life is crazy complicated. Due to this startling fact I have decided it is obviously up to me to make a list of life rules to make it easier for everyone. (In reality this will only make me less stressed and these ideas probably only benefit me but after all it is always about me)

1. Life should give rewards to people who do awesomely amazing things. Not rewards like pay checks, things like less calories in food and exciting surpries like a song when I walk into a room. (I have been thinking lately that I need a theme song.)

2. Traveling from one country to another should be easier and cheaper.

3. Every time I work out outside it should be very cold and a constant breeze

4. I need to be given a talk show. This would obviously benefit the entire world

5. Mondays no longer exists, or they need to become an extension of the weekend

6. Stupid and annoying people no longer exists or they just constantly stay out of my way

7. I need to have an amazing sense of fashion. I have yet to truly accquire this skill although I act like I have.

8. Ice cream is good for you and helps build muslces

9. Money grows on trees


I should have nine tips for making life easier for the world but I don't. I feel the need to point out that these really only benefit me but that should have been known before you started reading this entry. There are tons of other tips I have stored away but I am only revealing nine for now.

How awesomely amazing does this sound:

Jogging through Summer

Not having a stable job yet this summer has really made me start to think about what will happen when I graduate and have to get a real job. Babysitting has provided plenty of funds for me since the 11th grade and I absolutley enjoy and love spending time with the four children but they are still in school so I am barley working. This is a problem. Every time I tell somebody my major they act very sorry for me. FRUSTRATION. I am very aware that the job market for teachers is not at a prime but I am have full faith that I will have a teaching job when I graduate. Mainly because I am an awesomely awesome person, just FYI.

So this past week was pretty amazing for the most part. Vanka and I continue to walk, which is fun, but we tried to add jogging the other day and we look like hot messes but I am sure it was good for us. Unfortunately the week went by a little to fast, this is  problem for someone who is attempting to savor every second of this summer.

I tend to think things through way to much and I start think about futureness and everything and I stress myself out. THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING.

• If you watch Home Alone backwards, it's a story about two mean who are helped out of traps by a young child, who then cleans them up. Then, the child's family comes home and yells at him
• If you watch The Truman Show backwards, it's about a man who dreams of living his whole life as a TV show, discovers a massive TV studio, makes his dreams come true, and lives happily ever after

Tiny Black Brain

 Goo Goo Dolls are one of my favorite bands. I have started listening to some of their older music and this son, Black Balloon, is one of my favorite

"Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb

Comin' down the world turned overAnd angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on to bring you home
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me"

Sluggish Slow Life

     Oh Summer, you go by way to fast. You have only been around for one week and yet I feel I have accomplished nothing. This seems to be a problem. I am excellent at making to-do lists but I fail when it comes to carrying out the tasks. Although one task that has been followed through with is exercise and eating healthy. I have been walking with Vanka latley which is awesome. It feels good to know that I am doing something great for myself.
    
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

Always Never Changing

Happy almost Thursday.

I apologize that last week I did not blog very much but it was exam week, which obviously meant I had tons of free time and that time was spent in the least productive way possible, and since blogging is a must and important part of my day then you understand why I could not blog but once.

Change. People are afraid of Change. It baffles me at some of my friends because some of them are afraid to deviate from their everyday life schedule. They always eat the exact same thing everyday and eat the exact same thing when we go out to eat. I am not hating on them, but It made me start to realize that they are afraid of bigger changes. I do not understand this, I was always taught that change was a good thing. So it is my mission to make them accept change. It also very frustrating to be around these people because we never do anything different, which gets very old.

Truths of the Day:

• The numbers '172' can be found on the back of the U.S. $5 dollar bill in the bushes at the base of the Lincoln Memorial.
