Better. ^.^;

Up

Cute movie. ^.^

Well, went and saw "Up" last Friday. It was very cute. ^.^
My only complaint is that I was expecting more funny stuff. It's a funny movie, but it's not just a funny movie. It has a serious story-line that the previews don't elude to. There's a whole "letting go of the past" thing going on.

That's what makes the movie, but because of all the funny scenes in the previews, I was expecting more funny.
In all, there's about two jokes that I remember that I didn't see in one of the previews.

So, definitely worth a look see, but it's much more serious then the previews make it look.

A phone that makes me feel old...

Wow... I feel old...

So, I was asked to substitute for a class at church yesterday... 7 and 8 year olds. Ok, cool. All in all, it actually went really well. ^.^ I actually had this particular bunch of kids when they were Sunbeams (3 and 4 yrs old), so it was fun to see how they've changed. They haven't much, they're just louder. So that was fun.

But anyway, it was on prayer. And so I started out by saying "So, who here has a family member who lives really far away." A couple responces. (see, louder! Before I would have to coax them to say their names) "So, ok. How do you talk to them?" (talk=prayer. Ain't I clever? ^.^ I bet no one's ever thought of that coralation before!)

One person said a plane, so I drew a really bad plane on the bord.

Yes, I realize it's really bad, but it's something... You can at least recognize it a little, right? ^.^;

So next they said walkie-talkie.... Ok

Well, next they say phone. "Aha! I was wondering when they'd get there..."

Yes, while I realize that is a REALLY bad drawing of a phone... you can recognize it...

So one of the kids says "That doesn't look like a phone!"

Yeah, it's a bad drawing? ... so? Whatever, I don't really care. "Would you like to draw one?"
So I let her...

... A cell phone...

I feel old... Do you feel old? I sure feel old...

updates and downdates

My goodness... On a month, off a month... on a month... off a month...
I knew I'd been ignoring my blog, but I didn't realize it was this bad.

Anywhoodle. I was noticing my lack of bloginess and decided to fix it. ^.^;

Well... Gee... what's been happening to me... Well, I made a trip to go and visit B school. <3 Absolutely LOVED it. ^.^ It looks like a really cool school, and a good fit for me. ... Now I just need to get IN... heh, hehe.... Wish me luck on that...

Other then that, life's been pretty normal.

Oh, my manager did say something kinda funny to me the other day...
Although first I have to tell you, two weeks ago I had a REALLY bad day at work... Like people waiting 15 minutes for food bad... We're not supposed to make people wait more then like 30 seconds according to the manual, and like 2 minutes in practical application... Five minutes is a no-no... So 15 is a HUGE no-no...

So... I was taking a test ('cause if you pass you get a 20 cent raise w00t!), and one of my managers was grading it and making conversation.

"Yeah, you've been doing really well. You were kinda slow and I was wondering 'Oh no, I may have to fire her because she's so slow!' but you're good now. I really like you on front counter."

O.O Manager say wha???!?!?!!!111

So... I'm doing well now... And before you were maybe thinking of firing me??... oy... Um... yeah, thanks for that lovely boost of confidence there... I'm just gunna go sit in the corner and cry now, thanks...

So that was fun...

Anyway, my next post will be more light hearted. I just thought that was odd...

Limbo...

I'm happy where I am.

I have a good life. I love my family. Heck, I even like them from time to time. (an odd statement for anyone 12-30) I have a nice job, no real huge world-is-coming-to-an-end worries. I have a really good life!!

...

But I want to move on...

It scares me, don't get me wrong. Change=bad.

But at the same time, I'm not getting what I want right now. I feel like I'm in a rut. A very comfortable rut, nice fluffy pillows and a teddy bear in the corner... But a rut.

I went to go visit the town where I grew up today. To give you a picture, it's very much like Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls. Very small town-y. And very pretty. ^.^ I love it there. <3
But as I was driving through I thought "I love it here... but it doesn't have what I need right now. I need a school."

I love my life. I love my home. But... it doesn't have what I need right now.

*sigh*... I always thought when making decisions like this that there wasn't supposed to be regret in the choice that you didn't take... It was like this for the A vs. B thing too... A looks awesome!... But I want B... Not that I don't want A. It's the same here. I want to leave... but it's not that I don't want to stay...

You have a good mind, and many times that's what you make decisions with. -quote I heard

Monsters vs. Aliens = AWESOMENESSSSSESSS!

From the call-back to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", to the break dancing cockroach, One of the most entertaining movies I've seen in quite a while. ^.^

Lol. Yeah, just got back from "Monsters vs. Aliens" and I absolutely LOVED it!! Really, really good. ^.^ Really, really silly. But really, really good. ... Really.

I feel like their should be more I could say... but it really has to be experienced.

So yeah...

Bob...

Hey, I'll trade ya a pencil for your TRUCK!

Lol. ^.^ True story too!

Well... to a point.

For institute we played a game, called "bigger or better." The aim of it was to start out with something simple, and trade it with people to get something bigger or better. We started out with a pencil.

We had about four groups of three or four people, and were all given a pencil and given a 45 minute time limit. No rules other then that really. And if the people wanted their stuff back after the game was over, we could do that.

So me and my little group started out and actually got some pretty cool stuff before we got the winning truck. ^.^ Yup, we won! GO US!

*ehem* We started off trading the pencil for a carpet tack strip, which was traded for an old beach chair, for a boom box, and for a truck. ^.^

Yeah... We had to give the truck back. And I knew the people who let us borrow it... But still! We didn't know the other people! And I thought it was very cool. ^.^ And I'm still amazed people gave us something for a pencil... A pencil?! After that I figured they'd give us something, but a pencil's a pretty mundane thing.

So yeah. Fun game.
