hmmmmm.....
Chinese food. I'm having one of my cravings again....
I need a fix, and soon! Anyone want to feed my addiction? Heeeelp!

My proudest moments.... (not really)
Hey, when there a very few things in life I am good at, I am allowed to brag about the things I can do well!
Everyone have a GREAT DAY!

While reading over other blog posts from the past, I realized that I start most of them out with "Well,". So today I'm beginning with "While" which is a different word, but still inside of my comfort zone.
So I promised a funny story. I should have said, to some the story may be funny, but to the party involved (ME) it is mortifying!
So here goes.....
I was running up the staircase to physical therapy, when my shoe got caught on one of the steps and caused my body to make a sudden crash on the steps. Now, Remember that things like this happen to me almost daily because of the klutzy person I seem to be. However, it is this next part that will get you. Keep in mind that the physical therapy place is in the same building as the Birchwood Athletic Center, so there are lots of people that workout there... Lots of big strong gorgeous guys that work out there. Well, as I was tripping, the door opens and in walks a heard of them laughing at me, and then proceeding to ask if I was ok. Then I got inside the physical therapists place and I'm working out and what not and the very fine piece of cheese that is one of the PTs walks in, and I looked down only to notice that I am still wearing a school skirt. I was mortified. Will I ever recover? We don't know yet....

Well, unfortunately, I have nothing of any interest to report to you right now. I have been up to nothing but working at Barnes and Noble (which by the way am working over the legal limmitt while I am in school), the occasional vandalism (of houses, cars, decks, and yards--- don't worry, my first rule of vandalism is that it can't ruin/destroy/hurt in any way the object of vandalism), school, lots of physical theripy/nazi death camp, and TRYING very hard to find time to do homework and most importantly sleep. While there are some who might get down on me for skipping things such as youth group, I say that I need the time to do homework and sleep. The thing about youth group is that I went last week for a little bit and talked to no one exept for the people who bothered me about never coming. Now I ask why I would give up my time to regain energy to go to a place and wander around with no one to talk to. Now, if you are reading this and feel differently, please feel free to tell me why I am a pagan for skipping Wednesday night youth group. And yes, pagan is one of the many names I have been called by people who find it nessissary. So now you've heard my little speech. This doesn't mean I am against going to youth group or anything, I'm just taking the time off that I need to rest from the week because it is my only day off.
Ok, well, I hope everyone is having a great week.
Funny story for next time....

Hey guys, I finally found someone. We go together like a hourse and carrage. It's so wonderful.
Wanna see?

This is what the liscense social worker said...
Kathryn, DOB2/7/90, is a junior at New Life Christian Academy. She is an A/B student who likes English and writing. Her least favorite subject is mathematics. Kathryn is involved with her church. She attends the youth group and helps out with the small children there. She is employed at Barns and Noble. In school, she is involved in choir, Spanish class, volleyball and basketball. Kathryn makes friends easily and has many friends. She likes to take pictures and do scrapbooking. She plays the bass guitar and oboe. She also enjoys mountain biking, volleyball and basketball. Kathryn’s household responsibilities include vacuuming, doing dishes, emptying the trash and keeping her room clean. Kathryn reports that she is excited about bring a new sibling into her home.
Brain and Rita’s children report that they all get along very well, are very close and support each other. Kathryn misses Benjamin and Sarah as they are attending college. Kathryn and Sarah used to share a room. A favorite family activity for all is playing music together and singing.

Well, tonight is my last night with me own room. Everyone keeps asking if I'm exited about Rachel coming tomorrow. Well, in some ways, yes, and in some ways, no. I'm nervous. I mean, if I don't like her I'm kinda stuck with her. When friends spend the night, eventually they go home. But this is her home now, and my room is hers, so things could get interesting. When I shared a room with Sarah, it was OK because we get along great, but there's a chance we won't get along with each other. But then again, my nervousness could just be for no reason because maybe she'll be wonderfull!
However, in some ways I am exited because as of right now, I am extremely lonely. I am the only one around who is under the age of 44, so it will be nice to have someone around who is my age. I am tired of not havinganyone to talk to. Not that I'll confide in Rachel (most likely I won't), but I really want someone to be able to talk to.
Anyhow, keep mi familia in your prayers. Gracias!
All, in all, I think I've got a good additude. I'm trying hard not to be selfish with sharing my room and stuff. I have been blesses so very much with a wonderful family, and Rachel doesn't have that, so I'm glad we have the opportunity to be a blessing in her life. And, in the lives of the other foster kids who will be coming (we're liscensed for 4 at a time!) And if showing the love of God means sharing my 161.5 square feet of bedroom, then I am thrilled to be able to. If it's what God wants, then it's what I want too.
