today is fantastic b/c it is my mom's birthday! i got to spend time with my family and we ate a delicious dinner. although i don't get to spend as much time with them as i'd like, i really cherish the moments i have with them. my mom is incredible. i have realized, even though she may not accept my life and my future goals, she loves me in her own way - the best way she knows how. even when she isn't crazy about something, she still supports me in her own manner. without her, i wouldn't have so many opportunities and for that i couldn't be more thankful.

Happy Birthday Momma Bear!!! I love you so much. :)

i'm tryin' this out. let's see how long it lasts.

for the first ever (and potentially last) moe monday:

i sweat moe because....she still sleeps with a stuffed animal.

millions of blogs have reported by now, but i needed to post for my own personal documentation. for me. for tomorrow. when i wake up and realize "this time yesterday..." michael jackson was still with us. this is huge. i was talking to clare recently about how i can't even imagine what it will be like when icons of my generation start to pass away. my specific example was morgan freeman. - what will those movies be like without his voice? i'm completely convinced that some movies are just MADE for his voice. but michael jackson. really? i don't believe it. it's so surreal. there's nothing else that can be said, i'm completely shocked. may his legacy live on for the younger generations to enjoy!

as soon as i heard that farrah fawcett had passed away i picked up the phone and called my mom for 2 reasons. the most important reason, to tell her i love her and secondly to see if she had heard. farrah truly was an icon from the 70s and it's hard to believe that she was just diagnosed in 2006 and lost her battle less than three years later. her son, redmond, will never be able to pick up the phone to call his mom again. that breaks my heart, but i take full advantage of calling my mom numerous times a day. (on busy days like today she could probably do without all my phone calls). but you never know when it may be the last.

I LOVE YOU MOM!

today is beautiful because morgan and jesus can decopage together. ahhh sweet jesus and his crafts.



me and jesus play hockey together.

i've been distracted from blogging as application obligations have consumed me.
tomorrow is a day for fun though. a day for clare and me. a day of baseball.
we're such lesbians!

on another note. i spent 2 hours in home depot today (again, such a lesbian), ordering countertops for the kitchen remodel, purchasing ceiling fans, an amazing granite sink, and searching for the perfect lawn chairs for the two of us to read in the sun. correction - for me to read in the sun, for clare to sleep. ;)

as i was walking into home depot i saw a lady with her two kids. the little girl jumped to the side of a white puddle, whining "eeeeeew!" her mom said "what's wrong with you? it's just paint." the little girl replied, "i thought it was something else." her little brother chimed in with "i thought it was..." the mother said, "what did you think it was, child?"

without skipping a beat he said, "DOG POOP!"

ah to be 3 years old again. looking for any excuse to yell dog poop.

This is fantastic. I'm pretty sure I would have died.

Today, I had to give a presentation about Adolf Hitler. I wanted to point out he was a very good speaker, and could incite a crowd. Instead, what came out was 'Hitler's oral skills made everyone go wild with excitement" FML

it's your choice.

this has to be a quick blog b/c i'm having dinner with my dad very soon, BUT i came across the coolest site today. first of all, if you're on facebook and you haven't dipped into the Farm Town application game - DON'T DO IT! seriously, it will suck you in. i'm addicted. and i made fun of clare for playing it. yep.

so part of the game is to "hire" another farmer to harvest your crops. so i did. like i've done everyday for the past week since i've become brainwashed by this game. and i was snoopin around at that farmer's farm while she worked and she advertised this site:

Legends of America

Stay with me people. This site is amazing. Seriously, check it out. She is a huge history buff. I'm a history nerd myself. I can't spout of dates or lots of important info, but i LOVE traveling to historical places. This site has it all - like if I'm gonna be traveling to a destination, i can look to see if anything historical is nearby OR i could just plan an entire trip to travel to certain areas that sound interesting. I'd love to go into more detail and ramble on (b/c quite frankly, i'm good at rambling) but my dad just arrived.

your homework for the day - check out the website.

my summer classes started today and i shouldn't be the only one with homework. ENJOY!

summer class starts tomorrow, and i'm not ready to give up my summer-ness! :(

i just wanna do work around the house, continue to work on my scrapbook, and READ! have i mentioned how addicted i am to the book i'm reading right now? i don't wanna put it down. i wish i had this book when i went to hawaii b/c i could've read it on the flight. instead, i picked the slowest reading one i could get my hands on.

usually i can't stand not finishing something i start, but i just couldn't continue with the book i was attempting to read. it was sooo slow, nothing was happening, i was bored out of my mind. so finally, i decided to retire it and head to the book section of target where i found a book i had forgotten was on my reading list.

we are watching game 1 of the college softball world series finals. washington is up 8-0 over florida. i'm impressed! especially with the pitcher. she's incredible. clare is jealous! lol :)

off to bed. school in the A.M. blah.

my heart just dropped into my stomach. it's here. it's time. i have been waiting 2 years for this, but i can't believe it's actually here. i'm so nervous! vet school applications open June 3rd. As in...in 2 days my life won't stop for 4 months. I'm going to be so busy and stressed and exhausted.

i just went to the website, b/c i have been checking it daily for updates, and the date has finally been posted. June 3rd.

I'M SO NERVOUS!!!
