Catching Up

Okay, It's been a while. I totally suck at being a friend right now because I owe Danae one blog post, two poems and a letter. My goodness. I better get on those right away.

Things have been going well at work. I actually find myself enjoying it quite a bit. I have made friends with my co-workers and it's been great fun. Some days it seems that we actually laugh harder than we work, and that's what makes it all worthwhile. AND I have some GREAT exciting news! I found a FOUR LEAF CLOVER!!! I know- I could hardly believe it! But it's true. It was super duper exciting, and I'm not even like very into the whole "good luck- bad luck karma" thing, but I did offer up my thanksgiving to God! I was psyched! Anyway, about work, I don't mind the hours, it's nice when I have time after work to go to the Library to hang out before I have to meet my dad. There is this really sweet librarian that I just love seeing every time I go in there, and she's just the sweetest lady ever. She helped me find a bunch of new authors that would be good for me to read as well as fun to read. I told her that I was a Jodi Picoult fan, and she tried to help me find some cleaner Christian authors that might have the same kinds of stuff that I may enjoy as well. Which I thought was very nice of her. So far, I am really enjoying the one by Terri Blackstock called Double Minds. I like the writing style and how it just was so easy to get into, but I don't think I like the main character very much. She is so dramatic in an UN-Anne (Anne of Green Gables of course) way, and it annoys me. There was a murder and she was like "aaaaaahhhh!!! a murder!!!" Like, that wasn't the whole point of the book or something. Idk.

Okay, what else has happened... GIRL SCOUT CAMP!!! Oh my goodness, I can't believe I forgot to post about that!!! Well, the good news is that I think I still rank somewhere in the top favorite "PA"/ Adult there!! Aaaand the bad new is that I'm not sure If I will be returning to that particular camp. I had a blast with the girls this year. Even the ones my age were a ton of fun. We camped all week at one of the leaders' house (because there was so much bickering going on with all the leaders and the adults that set the camp up, so we stayed away)-- and for the most part, it was very calm and drama and trauma-free. Well, until two little girls decided to be little brats, but they got sent home, so that was over fast. Not that it was that easy to send two campers home, but you do what you have to do right? Especially after you lay down the rules before hand and they know that they are to abide by them, then the cross the line and cross the line and suddenly find themselves in a heap of trouble.. hmmm that sounds vaguely familiar. :) As you might remember last year was not pleasant because I almost got my eyeballs sucked out by a moth flying around in my camper. NOPE! Not this year. This year, because we were staying at the house, all the girls had tents in the back yard, but I slept in a bed!!! I got to shower whenever I liked, I had FLUSHING toilets. (No stupid best pots!) Aaand I got to wash and dry my clothes if I wanted to. It was awesome!




This one was my favorite Daisies. Her name was Lexie. SOOO Cute! She was waaay the sweetest girl in like the whole world!


Over to the left is Sharon, who has the blond hair, Rose-with the red hair, and then Lexie and I again. :)



This was the group(minus a few)that I spent my week with. The girl on the other side, her name was Katie Beth, and then the lady behind me was the camp program lady named Alma Gene.


And this is when I turned Brandy into a vampire! It was sooo much fun! It's so stupid that Edward didn't really turn out to be the bad guy and then kill Bella. That was what I was rooting for!!

Any way, camp was a blast, well with the girls. But the adults were the annoying ones this year. I'm going to have to give it some serious prayer before I go back next year. So yeah. I will have to blog more some other time, when I'm not so tired and when my tummy doesn't hurt so much!
