and now for something completely out of the ordinary...

Just beware of what you're about to read..

11:50 pm, Sunday
Today has been ... a ... good? day ?

I don't know. It started out good I think.. I went to church.. I don't think that can necessarily be a bad thing. This woman spoke today about being "improbable" ... I'm not sure I like the way I took it. I know what she was trying to say, but I took it as like, my dreams, my goals right now are improbable. Like they probably won't happen. And I hope it's not like that.. but that is what it feels like right now..

I have this really good friend named Kellie. And she told me that she regards me as a mentor. But tonight we have switched roles.

(2 hours later...)
1:30am, Monday
Have you ever thought about life? And never had the words to describe it? That is how I felt earlier.. but somehow, Kellie helped me to find the words. She listened. And I listened to what my heart was telling me and I put them into words.

They say good friends are hard to find, but I know exactly where to find them because I already have them. I have been so blessed to have friends to believe in me and love me and love God and trust in Him. It seems like I never had that growing up - I mean, yeah, highschool is extremely fake simply because everyone is immature, but I mean, only 5 years later we can be so much more mature and able to think and verbalize and just be better people. It's nuts. But it's awesome.

Kellie says that good talks are priceless. I say that good friends are priceless... and that I am SO rich.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, it is funny how I talk about them like I know them, or how I post pictures like I took them ...

GO SPURS GO!!!!
Gosh I wish I could make that SO much bigger...

Way to go Spurs .. I am SO proud to be one of your fans

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

haha.. I am watching the end of the game, some highlights and stuff ... I just saw Manu's face of pure glee and joy when the game ended. He had this smile on his face that was just like a little kid who scored a goal in his first game with his dad watching. I don't mean to make him look like a young boy, but it was just sweet.

I can't wait for next season ...

Okay.. so here's the script from the last few minutes of the Spurs game tonight .. it's pretty funny... I spazzed...

Okay! So, YES, the Spurs won!! So we're 3-2 now in the finals with a game at HOME on Tuesday!! Big Shot Rob saved the game for us in OT with some awesome shots and the boys are just pullin it back together! YEAH-YUH!!! I'm outta here.. it's past my bedtime..

Wow! Today has been SO great. As I was driving away from the church tonight, I just had to thank Jesus for a great day. It really has! I mean, it's not like I have done anything super awesome...

I went to lunch with Julie at McAllister's. So fun and soo yummy!

Went to Best Buy & got Dad's Dad Day present and also used some Christmas/birthday money to get me a little somethin'.

Went home and fiddled with the new little somethin'.

Called Lauren to see how the week had gone and she was doing well. (My bud's back in town!)

Searched for my cd's but could not find them anywhere at my house... Then called Ginger to see if she knew where they were... yeah, she knew exactly where they were.

Mom came home and tried to fish my splinter out of my finger, but we couldn't even find the little bugga'. Then we talked a little about the computer I would be ordering soon.. whoop!

Went out to eat with Kathrin & David at C&J's BBQ. We laughed so hard cuz Kathrin wouldn't stop snorting!! :)

Went to Blockbuster w/ Julie, The Don and B-Rad to rent a movie because I didn't want to stay up too late to go to the movies.. (funny how we'd be sitting there right now.. and I'm still up... hmmm)

Went out to the church, popped in "Ocean's 12" (which is so good) and tried to get comfy on that stupid love seat that Wendy always sits on. I just don't get it.
Had some more good laughs out there, grabbed my cds, and then came home.

Like I said at the beginning of this post, it's been a good day & Jesus gave me all the joy!! Yay-yuh!!

Okay so I just have to throw this in for the day .....

boozkoolikeafoo: alright well i'm gonna shower (i know it's surprising, and it's not even saturday!) and hit the hay. and by hit they hay, i mean literally hit the hay, we have some outside
boozkoolikeafoo: haha whew. ok bye
AggiOhFour: hah bye julie you spaz
boozkoolikeafoo: me a spaz?
boozkoolikeafoo: what

boozkoolikeafoo: crazy? i was crazy once
AggiOhFour: good night!
boozkoolikeafoo: they locked me in a padded cell
boozkoolikeafoo: and a plant grew up and tickled me on the nose
boozkoolikeafoo: and it drove me crazy
boozkoolikeafoo: crazy? i was crazy once
boozkoolikeafoo: they locked me in a padded cell
boozkoolikeafoo: and a plant grew up and tickled my nose
boozkoolikeafoo: and it drove me crazy
boozkoolikeafoo: crazy?
AggiOhFour: ENOUGH
boozkoolikeafoo: hahaha good times.

whew!! wow.. just ... wow...

UGH... today has been the most boring day of my summer so far!!! I HATE BORING DAYS!!!!!

I didn't know if I was going to work today because Traci never called me so I pretty much slept in til 11. I hate this! I want something to do! I NEED something to do EVERYDAY... Like, even if it's going out at noon for whatever random thing, I'LL DO IT!!

The only thing I really did today was get my hair cut. It's shorter - that's about as descript as it gets. The Randi cut at a shorter length :o)

I made a "Movie & CD" list of the ones I want to look for at Half Priced Books either this weekend or next week sometime. It's getting long!! I think I'm going to use some birthday money to either buy a VHS or add it to the computer/digital camera fund. Who knows.. not me :oP

That's all I've got for today.. Like I said, boring day ... Tonight's agenda holds eating dinner w/ mom then heading over to the church to watch the Spurs game. I'm going to take my new pillow with me and pray that it's a good luck charm. ;o)

Love to you all!!

Another birthday come and gone...

I had a great weekend and lots of fun with the friends. Not so much fun with Mike, but that's okay, if you know me, you know what happened.

I was blessed by many cards and phone calls and am so thankful for each one of you!!

The week has turned out to be restful; I did, however, start back to work for Traci on Tuesday. It's been the same old routine; seems like nothing has changed or like I ever left. I've been doing more work getting a job lined up for the fall and I have my eyes out there, like hawks.. well maybe more like pigeons, but they always know where the food is, so it's a good analogy. ;)

I've had a really great day today!! I got an email today that told me I would be receiving my teaching certificate in the mail soon so that was REALLY exciting. And then my dad got me a late birthday present!!! He gave me A SPURS PILLOW !!!! AHHH!!! I have just been loving on that thing all night long.. I LOVE IT. GO SPURS GO.

I'm trying to be more encouraging and accepting of others so please help me with that.

And, I want to get back into the routine of working out/running. I realized early this week that I am always in a better mood when I get moving and sweat. However, I am yet to begin this routine because I plan it for when I wake up in the morning.... Well, I really have nothing to get up for, so I sleep as long as I want and I usually talk myself out of it because it's hot by 9am... Soo.. I've gotta figure out a way to get myself out and runnin' .. any suggestions? I've got plenty of ideas, it's just putting one into practice and keeping up the routine.

Anywho - I had a really good talk with some of my friends earlier this week and hopefully our discussion will make all of our lives easier and make the lives of those around us more pleasant. :o)

Kat - If you're reading this, I made Ginger and Wendy aware of the past operation "Capioera" and they are full in knowledge, actually wanting to be more informed, so expect an email from them soon... hehe.. Love you girl and miss you SO much.

As for the rest of you crazy nuts out there - please call me or email me or somethin - I miss everyone and love you all to bits!!

Yes, the countdown has begun.....

Wow! So today was not so bad at all!! It was a relatively easy day, and I think this is because I didn't have a few of my groups today due to schedule changes and such. Tomorrow should go well also because of more schedule changes AND the fact that the kids are not going swimming tomorrow should make a huge difference. The swimming part of the day is cool for the kids simply because they get some swim lessons and "unstructured" play time, but it's a pain for all the counselors because of the traveling and everything. So tomorrow should go well. At the end of the day, I get to take one of the boy groups over to the Corps Center instead of do arts and crafts :) Yay! They don't like a&c so much anyways, so I'd figure, "let's take em to see a bunch of guns" hahah... We'll see how it goes.

I am not as tired today as I have been, which is a great feeling. My birthday is in 3 days :)

That's all I've got for now. Not a lot of news on the homefront... Which could be good or bad! But we'll say it's good today.

Have a wonderful evening!!

SOOOO glad it's almost Wednesday! There are only 3 more days of camp left and I'm pumped to have it be OVER. It's been fun and all, but if I never have to paper mache again, I think I'll be okay with that. Most of the kids are cool, but uh... the rest are little punks who don't know how to be respectful to adults or even to kids their own age. Kids these days.... gosh, never thought I'd be saying that...

So I got a summer job. I call it a part part time job because it's 1-2 days a week. I'm going to be working for Traci again in her office. I'll actually probably be able to get a lot done because I won't have to watch the boys since Kristin is their sitter this summer. But it will be fun simply because I like that family a lot.

I am still job hunting for next school year. I put an application in the mail tonight for Navasota. I think I really want that job if I can get it. I think I would like it. It's a PE teaching and soccer coach. So we'll see :o)

There's a lot of stuff goin on right now in my head and in my heart, so keep me in your prayers!!

Oh yeah!! Almost forgot! :) My B-day is on Saturday! I'll be 20-older... aka 23 years old. I am ready for me to be 20-older though. Every year I get older, I feel more like an adult, even though I don't act like it some... most of the time.

Have a great Wednesday!!

Wow, this week has been insane... -ly awesome. I started out the week with Camp Adventure during the day and immediately after, soccer camp! Yeah, I've been pooped all week but it's been worth it. Wow.. that's pretty much all I've done :o) I have been getting a lot of heckling from certain people (not just mom) to get on the ball and get more job stuff done. And trust me, I've got the message. It's getting to the point to where if I don't find a job soon, I might not have one. So this afternoon will be dedicated to doing just that; filling out applications online and offline, fine-tuning the resume, and getting stuff done. I can't afford to jack around any more with this. As much I want to just relax, this has got to become priority #1 for my weekend. No, week. No, life.
I'm goin to lunch with Wendy, so I need to get ready for the day and then head out. Hopefully I'll get a chance later to write a little bit more. Please be praying for me in my job search!! Oh! And say a prayer for Kat Stock too - she's safely in Brazil :o)
