I was never really introduced to sign twirlers until I moved to California. But these people are talented. Do you know that these people get certified? I just think that is crazy. But I can believe it. Some of these people have amazing moves.
Take this guy outside of Subway today - he clearly has amazing moves (I really should have taken a movie for you!) and he's dressed like the statue of liberty!
I think if I decide to peruse a second career - sign twirling might be my thing!

Picture 30: Neighbors
Got to love the neighbors who keep the front yard all neat and tidy but use their backyard as a garage. Sometimes I think they forget that they have other neighbors that can see it.
I really hope that I don't end up being this type of hoarder. Junk is.....junk, and keeping it all in the backyard in case you might use it later won't make it any better. But what really keeps me up at night is trying to figure out what might be in those trash bags.

Picture 29: Athanasius
The truth? I didn't take a picture today. It was a pretty boring day. The morning started out great - coffee with my girls. This is always the best part of my week. But the rest of the day was just errands, errands, errands, errands. So, I guess I could have taken a picture of target, the bank, or the carwash - but I just didn't think that was that exciting.
So, instead, I decided to cheat and give you a picture of my adorable nephew: Athanasius. Athan is the cutest kid EVER. He has the greatest little personality. He makes the best sound effects ever. He will never do anything that he doesn't want to do which is frustrating on one hand because you can't make him play or cuddle with you if he doesn't want to - but on the other hand it is WONDERFUL because you know that if he runs and JUMPS into your arms, it is because he loves you and really wants to be there. He really likes to shoot nurf guns, vacuum, talk on the phone and play musical instruments. And my brothers are doing a good job of teaching him how to play video games.
I wish I lived closer to my family so I could see them more often.

Picture 28: the track
pessimism.
optimism.
so many ambitions.
so many lost dreams and opportunities.
turns that lead to dead ends.
promises that were never kept.
i never meant it to end up this way.
i thought i'd just try something new for a while.
hope long gone.
a fear to hope again.
innocence.
fear.
regret.
resignation.
apathy.
anger.
nothingness.
darkness and light
reality and denial
...one day
...one day
...one day
...one day i'll stop saying one day.

Picture 27: sea world and flat tires
You are getting two pictures again - becuase I COULDN'T DECIDE!! My life is just too darn exciting!
Today was a great day at work because it was the Health Benefits Fair! That may not sound exciting to you but then you would be wrong because it is awesome. You get to go around to all of these different tables and get free stuff (or SWAG as Michael Scott would say). I got this great compact mirror, a mug, eyeglass cleaner, a pedometer, a pen WITH stickie notes IN IT, and so much more I would brag about but I can already tell you are feeling pretty bad about yourself so I'll stop.
The point of telling you all of this is that Sea World was at our benefits fair. They were letting us know about there ridiculously low rates since we are employees of Fuller. And on our way out of the fair we saw their CAR! How did we know it was theirs? You tell me who else this could have belonged to. If I ever quite my job at Fuller - I am going to work at Sea World - and I will demand a company car!
The second photo is only because I am proud that my procrastination that has lasted for longer than I am willing to admit here ------ CAME TO AN END TODAY. I was really enjoying riding my bike to work everyday until I got a flat tire. And since I drive quite a tiny car I was not able to fit the entire bike into the back seat to bring it in and get the tire fixed. My co-worker said he would help me out if I just brought the tire into work. Well....it has taken me all this time to finally coordinate my schedule with my wonderful roommate Ipp so he could teach me how to take my tire off. I THINK i was paying attention. And by that I mean, he is definitely going to have to put it back on for me and then remove it again if it ever goes flat---cause I still have no idea how to do it. But at least I am one step closer to riding my bike to work again! Yea!
