Royal

The Royal Tenenbaums....my new favorite movie. Wed Anderson did a fantastic job writing and directing this one. The casting director also got the perfect people for the different characters. I like Anderson's films, they are always creative. I especially like this one, because the different family members are so outrageous, and I like that the family is disfunctional. Everything comes together in the end, which I don't really like. I like movies that are not predictable and not everyone ends up together and happy, it seems more like real life to me I guess.

i hate going home

i really do, for so many reasons. I like Waco and my life here, I wish I could just always be here. Last summer was the last summer I ll go home, I need to find other places to live.

spaghetti butt

buddy jumped on my spaghetti plate today. As punishment I washed her off in the shower, because she has sauce all over her legs, side, and butt. She still smells like spaghetti.

Mi Casa

Ryan, Conner, and Jacob all go to the same Mi Casa on tuesday nights. So Ben and I decided to start having our own Mi Casa, and Ben's place. It has really bonded us. We normally talk, drink tea, and watch a movie.

Last night's Mi Casa was exceptional. We made dinner, had Kristyn over, and talked about religion. It was a perfect last Mi Casa for us.

Hopefully next semester we can do it again, or join a real Mi Casa group.

first double digit run

Saturday was my first double digit run ever! I am so proud of myself, actually I have never been prouder of myself.

The run itself was fantastic! 5:30 in the morning, 55 degrees, rain...perfect running weather.

My history of running:

The first 9 years of my life it was something I did during playing, or as a mode of transportation.

The next 6 years it was something I did because my parents and cross country and track coaches made me.

The next 5 years it was something that was part of soccer practice and games. But normally I avoided doing at all costs, or tried it on the rare occasion.

The past few months I have been determined through countless side cramps, leg cramps, charlie horses, and breathless workouts to try my hardest for once to be decent at running. This was one of the few things in my life I have always wanted to be good at but never have. I was so determined to be good at. I have worked hard at it, and now I am somewhat decent.

Now I am at the point, only crazy people like my brother are at, where I enjoy it. My body was so tired and sore from the 10 miles, but yesterday something deep down in me wanted to run again. Today all I could think about was getting out of class so I could go for a run.

...something is wrong with me, I am starting to become that crazy runner type. I can say I love it.

Hello Dolly!

]

I love musicals, always have, always will.

I remember Hello Dolly being of the handful of movies we had in Switzerland, and I did really like it as a kid. I was wanting to watch it super bad, so the other day I bought that (and Shakespeare in Love) on itunes.

Anyways, it is a darling movie! Barbara Striesand is phenomenal! She is such a fantastic singer. Michael Crawford is hilarious. He is so awkward, and silly and makes Cornelius a lovable character.

Being a good mom (to buddy) and a good friend, but bad student

So I have been a better mom (to my darling rabbit) and a better friend than I have been a student in the past few weeks.

I need to change this, at least the student part. I work hard, but I don't work to the point where I stress myself out. Someone very wise told me to not worry about grades but really learning the material. I took this to heart. And I am learning in all of my classes, and not worrying about knowing in well enough to make an A on the next test. Hopefully next semster I work harder, which I sure will be the case because I won't have four science classes, and classes that actually interest me.

Buddy is not the ordinary rabbit. She has become extremely attached and affectionate to me. I read somewhere that rabbits are social animals and make friends for life. (As I am typing this Bud is sprinting and jumping around my room, apartment, and bed as fast as she can) I now leave her out of her cage whenever I am home, and sometimes when I am not. This includes night time, which would not be a problem if she now thinks my bed is hers. She sleeps next to me, but when she is not sleeping she enjoys chewing on my hair, licking my face, ears, neck, digging and rearranging my blankets, jumping on my tummy to alternate sides of the bed (this can last for 10 min straight, with no break). Anyways, I love her very much, but she does not leave me alone, she just follows me everywhere, and tried to play when I do hw in bed.

My new favorite person is Caitlin! We had dinner, and I adore her! She is the coolest, and most awesomest person ever!

Also church was good, it was fun to hang out with everyone . =) Last Hub of the semester, and we roasted marshmellows!

I spent all morning playing housewife

I spent the morning grocery shopping and cooking. It's a good way to spend any morning.

I also spent it watching the latest episode of Desperate Housewives. One of my favorite shows! =)

ps. everyone thinks Desperate Housewives is a terrible show, but it is really good. I used to think it was just about skanky, bored, rich housewives; but it has some good values in it, and it is hilarious. I know the show is way to dramatic, and cheesy but it is entertaining and i really love the characters. Lynette and Gabby are my favorites! They are the two strongest wives and really love their family, they will stick up for them and not take crap from anyone. If you have time, you should watch it.
