| okay well i unfortunatley didn't happen to get any pictures of my spendid wknd. with my neice and the rest of the fam, my mom's digital camera was on the frits, i really wish i could show some pictures!! she is getting so big and more beautiful every time i see her, my neice that is, not my mom. it was a great trip with of course another ridiculous story of something funny that happened to me while i was once again by myself without one other accountable witness. so my morning starts off with me leaving rockford on time and of course swinging by starbucks on my way out of town headed to the airport. i promptly arrive at the airport pull into the parking garage, park and retrieve my bags from the backseat of my car when i briefly think to myself "holy crap, i have a lot of stuff, how the heck am i going to carry all of this without looking like a retard who can't walk in black heeled boots?!!" that's about all the thought and effort that went into that observation, so i piled as much as i could on each shoulder and began dragging my suitcase on the little yellow cross walk and on to check in i go. as soon as i walked through the door i saw a restrooms sign so i turned to the right with what seemed like every belonging i owned and headed to the bathroom. i walked into the restroom noticed that one lady was walking out of the stall, noticed another one coming in behind me but neglected to notice the slippery wet floor sign as i proceeded to walk onto tile and evidently, my suitcase didn't notice the sign either or something really scared him because he somehow grew legs, ran and hit me in the back of my calves causing me to begin to slide while juggling all the rest of my bags, when inevitably gravity kicked in causing me to look like a terrified giraffe on ice and down i went. i was absolutely humiliated so i grabbed my things as quickly as i could without anyone's help i might add and jumped into the biggest closest stall as fast as i could and began to pray God please don't let anyone have noticed that!!! right amy, the only way no one would've not noticed that is if they weren't in the bathroom. so i waited for everyone to leave the bathroom, i gathered my composure and what little dignity i felt i still had and headed off to check in. all went well there except for the fact that they always expect you to know what is going on and are constantly looking at you like they can't possibly believe you didn't know that. zero casualties so far, a little humiliation but that's alright it keeps me humble, so on to step two - security check. okay, now i understand why we have it, i really do, but to attempt to take my hairspray, lotion and tweezers, insist on me removing my shoes and belt because you think i might possibly have a nuclear bomb or anthrax inside of one of them is a little outrageous and not to mention the fact that they pad you down and as you walk away you feel guilty because you didn't even catch "their" name is alittle ridiculous!!!! i lost my lotion for whatever reason after they searched my purse, so now one casualty and off to sit at my gate, gather my thoughts and count down the agonizing minutes 'til i am finally in the safety of my dad's car with no more wet floors, dumb looks or feeling as though i need to repent for the brief date i accidentally went on while so innocently walking through security check point. i saw my gate G3 and i thought yes almost there. i sat down, took acouple breaths removed my glasses from my face, rubbed my eyes and BAM!!!! the ugliest kid i'd ever seen in my life came up and beat the crap out of me. it took everything inside of me to not throw that little monster out the window onto the jet runway where she would hopefully meet her fate. out of all things to hit me - a kid!!! we all know how much i love kids. that was it, i got up went and got some water and walked around for a short while until i heard they were boarding my plane. i was so irritated that upon boarding and being seated i was so rude to the poor little man from n. carolina sitting next to me, poor guy, but i was not about to act like i was interested in conversation, i'd just been beaten up by a toddler. so there i sat for the next 1.5 hrs. of my life staring at the clouds. i've never been so happy to see my dad in my life. all in all the wknd. was great i wish i could've stayed longer. well until next time, xanga friends. | | |
| it's been forever but life has been grand. i've been in new orleans for the past 2 wks. and that was awesome, although unfortunately not awhole lot's changed. we did a lot of gutting out of houses, a little food distribution and even got alittle time to go down to the french quarter where i literally had the best coffee i've ever had!!!!
but in better news i leave tomorrow for atlanta, ga where my neice will have her dedication to the Lord and i get to pray over her. okay have to eat dinner, tacos and quesadillas, yippy!!!
pictures to come!!!! | | |
| Thanks to Matt Robin whose site i happened to stumble upon, i have recently received the greatest advice :

| D.C. was awesome!!! i had a blast and have never been more proud to be an American. i come from a patriotic family, one brother in the marines and national guard, some listen to every talk radio show that there is and follow every political trail possible knowing the next move of our government and everything going on in iraq. they're hilarious, needless to say i now share in their pride and joy of where i'm from. but once again a funny thing has taken place in my life. so obviously while being in our nation's capital i took pictures, lincoln memorial, ford's theatre, roosevelt, ww2 and vietnam memorials, you know the usual, so upon returning to town after a 18hr. bus ride and arriving at 6:30 am i slept for a few hrs. b4 having to be back at the church and on my way i dropped my film off at wal-mart only to return in a short hr. to pick it up. and of course upon my returning i would end up in line behind a ghetto girl who was doing her best to convince the picture developer people that the pictures she'd dropped off were not taken by a professional and that it was perfectly legal for them to make doubles, whatever, they were and she was a bad liar. after standing there for about 10mns. or so i really started to get into this ongoing conversation of clear lies, it became quite interesting and actually kind of heated, it was awesome but all of asudden the undivided atttention that i had given to this conversation was interuppted by a 45yr. old man leaning over my shoulder and attempting to whisper into my ear but along with his whispering came a wind tunnel of his hot breath breathing upon my neck and down my back, DISGUSTING!!!! yes i know. he continued to ask me how often i came here and how long it took me to get my pictures developed, i was so startled!!!! i didn't know what to do, so i politely answered his question and turned around to see his wife and son come walking up. i was freaked out not only at the fact that he gave me a bath with his breath and now felt as though i needed to wash my right ear but at the smerk and gross little glimmer in his eye. sick!!!
why do all the perves find it necessary to talk to me?
why do they feel the need to ask me questins?
the creepiness almost lines up with the guy in phoenix who chased me down in the parking lot of the mall and tell me that he thought i was hot as hell. what the heck?
this man will forever be known as the wal-mart whisperer and from here on out i will be looking over my shoulder whenever getting my pictures developed or even just being at wal-mart. | | |
| RANDOM FACTS OF MY CURRENT LIFE . . .
i just got off the phone with my mom and i heard my neice clearly in the background say my name, i will admit i almost cried.
i leave for dc on sunday, very excited about that and i just saw the movie man of fire, i think that's what it's called and not man on fire, either way i saw it and it is most defintely now one of my favorite top 3 movies!!!!! it's great.
nothing else exciting that's pretty much it, i get to go home in nov. and pray over samantha at her baby dedication!!!! that is right now the highlite of my life, other than that not many exciting or funny happenings but i'm sure something ridiculous will happen while in dc or on the way there. 'til than, adios ( is that how you spell it? ). | | |
