| More cleaning and sorting...... I've never really had all of my pictures consolidated into a photo album, so I'm going to attempt to work on that today. I opened this morning and yesterday morning so I feel a bit foggy. I could get used to opening every day, but this closing and opening and then not working and then opening gets me all off. I feel as though my week consists of a series of naps permeated by coffee and frisbees. Hopefully I'll have more purpose soon. Favorite quote of the day: "The Ultimate world is full of people who, for reasons they can never quite explain, have given up the normal benefits of life to chase plastic, men and women brimming with passion and impracticality of the clichéd artist, a band of jock Van Goghs, painting on and on without the faintest hope of a sale." - David Gessner from "Ultimate Glory" in his book of essays Sick of Nature

| Some things you could now dig out of the local landfill:   
  
 
- A. My babysitter pin: Officially certified by the Red Cross. They made me change cloth diapers on dolls.
- B. Fake eyelashes: I'm guessing for camp or something.... I don't know why I kept them.
- C. Piggy bank: You drop the money in and it disappears. Pretty cool.
- D. Mix tapes: If only I had a tape player in my car... or room... or anywhere anymore.
- E. My soccer medal: From 2nd grade. We were the Sonic Booms.
- F. (Maybe) my first t-shirt: I didn't throw this out. It was too cute.
- G. A breathing machine: Actually I didn't throw this out either. I like to check my lung capacity every now and then - as seen here.
- H. Sentimentalia: The bottom of just ONE of the boxes I cleared out. It's all stuff that I don't want to throw away but I don't really want to keep either. The fear is that I'll just consolidate all of it into another box and leave it in a cupboard to be sorted out 10 years from now....
- I. An academic achievement award: See if you can figure out what's wrong with it. Clearly whoever made these plaques earned one. This was worth saving just for the irony.
Well... back to work. Just look at my room:
 Where am I going to sleep?

| I have no more patience for this. I've been selling my old textbooks on half.com which has actually been pretty lucrative. I just can't think of how much I payed for them originally, and I have to remind myself that that buyers are just poor students who can't afford to pay an extra $5 even though the books are in near perfect condition.... Well.... I sent a certain book off to a certain woman somewhere in the U.S. and noticed that her last name (Trujillo) was also the name of the horrendous dictator from the Dominican Republic. I wanted to write a little note on the package saying how sorry I was that she was stuck being the equivalent of Ms. Hitler, but I thought better of it and just mailed the book. Then I got an email from her. She accused me of being a liar and ripped into me because aparently there was a stain of some sort on the third page of the book which I hadn't mentioned. Honestly, I told her, I never even saw it, and I would be happy to refund her a third of the original price. She sent back two more angry emails: one saying that I was breaking half.com rules and two saying, "Have you sent my money yet?" Now I don't know what to do; she wants a full refund and I want my book back before I give her anything. I swear.... Shakespeare was wrong about names.... | | |
| So it's been a minute or two since I've written... on here. I write all the time on my own, but it's always a little weird to put the words out there for any and everybody. Mostly I just wanted to put up a picture that makes me laugh every time I see it. I was already laughing pretty hard when it was taken obviously.
For whatever reason, Nate decided we needed his chest in our family picture. Of all the hundreds of pictures that were taken that day, I think my mom only thinks 3 are worthy of sending to anyone. Pretty bad, but mostly funny.
Well.... I napped all afternoon and now I'm not tired. I should probably clean my room or read one of the 5 books I bought yesterday (I couldn't help myself: Border's had a huge sale and they all looked so exciting).
In case anyone was wondering (and I know you were), my fall league team is currently undefeated. You can keep up on our status by checking the MUFA site for Press Your Luck.
...and I wish it was a small world.... | | |
