Pottery and such
I had a day off yesterday. It was nice. Me, Mother Hen, Niner, and Hezza, had a girls day out. I made the "iten" the night before, and we did a pretty good job of sticking to it, except the times were a little off. We started off the morning by going to Kay's Country Kitchen in Orcutt. It was beautifully amazing. I LOVE that place. Not only that, but we got our meals for free because the server forgot about us and it took a long time to get our food. After that, we went back to the Hough's and watched the Price is Right and some judge show that was pretty much ridiculous. After that, we went to the outlets and San Luis where we went to California Pizza Kitchen and painted some pottery. I made a pretty sweet plate, and if you come to my house, I might let you eat off of it. :o)
So, I'm really emotional today, I feel like I should sing that Whitney Houston song, "I get so emotional baby... " Don't worry, I won't.... yet... I guess you could say that I'm pretty excited about Christmas. I wasn't before, but I guess I am now. Farah got me a sweet stocking filled with endless delights! And I've been reflecting on what Christmas really means, but the Christmas music is kind of overwhelming. :o)
One last thing. Enough with the cold weather already!!!! Geez, my electric blanket is at the highest setting and that's still not hot enough. I was thinking, I could go to the Grand Canyon again during new year's. Just a thought... maybe it can become a tradition.
If I don't post again before Christmas, I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas and that you celebrate Jesus, your family, and all that jazz. :o) God bless us everyone! Love you guys.

It's the besssst!
I would just like to announce that I have a 3, yes 3, day weekend! It all starts at 5:30pm today. The best part is, I don't have anything planned. Well, except for babysitting my nephew tonight, but that doesn't count. What day am I most excited about you ask? Monday. I'm no sure why, but I know that it's going to be magical. It might even be the day that I magically get all of my homework done on :o). Let's see, what else is going on.... Oh, Gilmore Girls. That show is amazing. I always used to make fun of people who watched it, but I am happy to say, it's a great show. It's even funny! I just thought of something I can do on Monday! Get my haircut. Don't judge me, but it has almost been a year since I last cut it, I think it's about time. Well, looks like that's all I have for today. Hope you guys are doing great and that this season is filling you with wonder and magic. :o) Shalom!

I Smell Good
Seriously, I do. Ok, enough of that. The coolest thing happened to me last night, I went to the grocery store and decided that I should only spend $23.00. When I went to pay for them, it came out to $23.16! Those were the Lord's groceries! :o) We rearranged our living room this weekend. Farah wasn't very excited about it at first, but she caught on. It looks amazing. I pretty much never want to leave it now. Especially today because it's so cold outside. Bleck. I started school. It's pretty much random. I have this one class that is just crazy. Last week was about science, this week is about something else. It's a shmorgus board (I know I didn't spell that right) of learning. I just hope this year goes by fast! Maybe I'll do some shout outs....
Ashli-You have constantly been on my mind and in my prayers. I hope this tragedy will make you cling to God and Jason. I love you!
Farah-Yeah, you're pretty much the best thing ever.
Shaw-I watched the music video for smelly cat today, hilarious! You're a good bf to the bff, I'm glad you're in my life in this season of friendship.
Tani-It was refreshing to spend time with you on Sunday. I love you!
Parker-No ring, no wedding.
Jaz-I miss the good ol' days of the living Christmas tree, remember when you fainted? That was scary! Hope all is well in Bako. :o)
A-Bomb-When are you going to come home and get some afternoon delight? It better be soon!
Hef-I never realized that you have something in common with Hugh Hefner... I miss you! You were in my dream last night, you made me a cake. Do dreams come true? :o)

Happy Saturday!
This morning I woke up and forgot what day it was. When I realized it was Saturday, I pretty much freaked out because I had to get ready for work. That's how my day started. Did you know that they make rockstar energy drinks with guava juice in them? They do, and I'm drinking one right now. Yum. I started school, good times. I think I'm going to like it. I even get my very own career counselor! It's a pretty sweet deal. For one of my classes, we have to read this book called "A Gift From the Sea". I'm pretty excited about it, I think I'll go read it at the beach. Maybe the sea will give me a gift too. :o) Hopefully it's not a rip tide! It's almost time for Thanksgiving!!!! Have you guys seen that SNL skit with the Thanksgiving time song? It's hilarious! Lately, I've been thinking about what it would be like to sell everything I "own" and just travel for a while. I would probably never do it, but it's an exciting thought. I wish I were more daring and risky. Just a thought.

5 Years
Last night, I was inspired to open up a box from my past. Farah told me she used to twirl baton, and I did too, so I had to show her my old hot pink jacket from my "squad". When I opened up the box, I found a ton of memories! It was crazy to look at old stuff from so long ago and to remember the person I was. Out of all of the things I found, I think the craziest was my application for the CALEB program at Hume Lake. On it, I had to put where I thought I would be in 5yrs, 10yrs, 30yrs, etc. I wrote the application 5 years ago, and according to what I wrote, I should be married by now. 5 years from now, I'm going to be a stay at home mom.... I think I need to get busy! But seriously, I am thankful that my plans didn't work out. I just thought it was funny.

Secret Santa
At work we are going to draw names for secret santa next week. I know it's early, but I'm really excited about it! Not only that, but we started planning a pot luck today. I am going to make beef stew. I can't even wait. You know what I've always wanted to do? Register for gifts. If I'm not married by the time I'm 30, I am going to register for gifts for my 30th birthday. It's my right! :o)

Adventure in the Mundane
Ok, so I decided that I need to start finding adventure everyday. Last night, Farah and I were commenting on how work ruins adventure. And today, I have changed my mind. Why can't work be an adventure? Like today, for instance, I am in dirve-up. I have watched the sky turn from sunny to grey and it's beautiful. And just now, it started raining! Even though I'm not a huge fan of rain, it seems magical today. I wish you guys could see what I am seeing right now. Now, the real adventure would be if I were out in it... :o)
So LOST last night? Geez!!! I am so confused! It seems there has been a lot of that in my life lately.... But seriously, did anyone watch it? If you did, what are your predictions, because frankly, I am lost!

Classy
Ok, so on sunday, I get to go to an appreciation dinner for this thing at work. I even get to bring a date, Farah. Anyway, it's at the Madonna Inn and we can order whatever we want! One of my friends said that she is going to order Lobster. I wish I liked seafood, it's times like these where I am sad that I don't. I'm pretty excited though, it could quite possibly be the nicest meal I will ever eat, well except for when I get to heaven.
In other news, I start school at the end of the month. I feel horrible for saying it, but I am not looking forward to it. I mean, I'm sure I'll love it once it starts, but it's going to be hard to be disciplined. And I'm pretty much committed to my job, so that makes it tough too. I just want to be done with it already! (I should be done with it by now)
I love fall. I can't wait for all of the leaves to change, and for Thanksgiving. What a great holiday. Today was a beautiful fall day. It's warm outside with a little wind, and it has that fall feeling. Ok, enough about seasons.
I really want to go on an adventure. I know, I know, my whole life is an adventure... :o) But seriously, a real adventure. Like going for a drive but not knowing where I am going. Or building a raft or a house. (ok the house is unrealistic) I don't know when it will be, but soon, you will hear about my adventure.
Well, it looks like it's time to get back to work. I hope all of my dear friends are having an adventure today. Aloha.

Caffeine
Lately, I have been a caffeine maniac. I don't really know why either. I just get thirsty and don't want water, so I drink tea, or coffee, or coke. Needless to say, I've been pretty talkative and crazy. My drive to sacramento tonight will be spent consuming caffeine. It's pretty much my life now. I'll probably get over it soon though, hopefully. This morning, I got up an hour earlier than I was planning, so I got my oil changed. I even got a new air freshener and it smells amazing! I feel like I'm on some exotic island when I'm in my car now, pretty nice. Then, on my lunch break I got my car washed for $5! That's right, washed and hand dried for only $5! Can you believe it? Can you tell I've had too much (caffeine) to drink? Guys, seriously, today is the last day of summer? Isn't it sad? Ok, I'm over it, because my favorite holiday is in the fall..... Thanksgiving!!! I LOVE Thanksgiving. You can probably guess why, because I love to give thanks, and I'll admit, I do love all of the delicious food. Or as we like to say in spanish, comida. Ok, I need to stop writing. I suppose I'll get to work. Have a happy last day of summer everyone!

Rested
I went to sleep at 9:30 last night, it was beautiful. I'm glad we don't have cable or internet at our place. If we did, I think I would stay up a lot later. Sometimes I wish I were amish. But I'm not, so yeah, too bad. I'm going to sacramento this weekend, good times. I finally finished Crystal's quilt, and now I don't want to give it away, it's really cozy! Ok, I'm taking this spanish class for 6 weeks every Tuesday, and yesterday I learned how to say the date in spanish. Here's today's date: Miercoles, veinte de septiembre de dos mil seis. Pretty sweet huh?
My nepehew is pretty much adorable. I love him a lot! Wow, I guess I don't really have much to say. Sorry. :o) Have a good week my friends!

My Roomie
Two blogs in one day!!! Yes, it's slow at work.... I just wanted to say that I have an amazing roomie. Farah, I am so glad we moved in together! I always look forward to seeing you and laughing with you. Horray for God who brought you and Michael together. I've been practicing that toast.... :o) I love you Farah!!!!

What to Say?
I guess I'll start out this blog like so many others are being started on this day.... Mrs.Elder died yesterday. I am sad because she's not present in my life anymore, but I rejoice that she is home. I have never been more at peace with death before. What an amazing woman, my folk friend. She will be missed, and her life will continue to be celebrated. If you are reading this, please take a second to pray for her husband and family who will feel the void more than any of us. I am pretty excited about heaven. I think that's all I have to say about that.

Hips Don't Lie
There's really no meaning behind the title of this blog. I just didn't have a good one. You guys should ask Farah to sing it for you, she's pretty good at it, probably the best that I know of. My sister had her baby! It was an amazing experience. She did such a good job too, I couldn't believe it. Afterwards, I told her that I was really proud of her and she said, "It wasn't that hard." Can you even believe it?! Anywho, my nephew is beautiful, I pretty much started sobbing the moment I saw him. I'll put a pic up on my myspace soon. His name is Anthony Jadon Loux. Yay, there's another Loux in the world!
In other news, I went to Kickback with the High Schoolers this weekend. It was great! Kari Way and I tried to pull a "joke" on the campers by putting goldfish in some pitchers of water. It didn't work out because someone spoiled it! Yesterday we had a ceremony and released the fish into the creek. I said a few words and then Kari and I watched as they adapted to their new world.
To top off the kickback weekend, Kaleb and I did the most hilarious skit ever! I don't feel like writing about it, but if you ask me, I'll tell you about it.
Well, I think that's all. Time for some shout outs?
Fauf-Thanks for putting up with my craziness. Sorry I kept trying to talk to you while you were reading last night. :o) You are an amzing friend and roomie. I love you!
M. Shaw-Sorry I tried to take the cookies, I just get really posessive about food. I'm glad we're friends.
Parkman-I'm glad you watched Zoolander. I was afraid you didn't like it because it's so funny. Maybe you'll start liking friends too, then we can be friends again. Just kidding, I love ya parker and I'm glad you and the shaw live together.
Carrie-Thanks for writing me into your will last night and for giving me my inheritance early. I'm just like the prodigal son! I had a blast with you this weekend!
Ashli-I'm glad we're on the same page... I've never seen worship quite like that. :o) I'm excited about you bundle of joy, love you.
Hef-I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in a while! You are still dear to me, and I hope everything is going great! You can breakdance fight me if you want.
Bottelsen Buddies-I drove down McCoy today and thought about the good times we had. I hope you all are doing well and that you still have your sanity. :o)
Tani-I don't even know if you read this anymore. If you do, I hope your semester goes well and that you haven't completely forgotten about me. If you don't, I will call on Tom Cruise to destroy you with his witchcraft.
Lt.Tews-Hope you're enjoying your vacation!
Jaz-Thanks for reading my blog. :o) Hope teaching is going well! Love you.

Don't think that this is going to be easy, I really love food. I bet my nephew is going to love food too. I should start feeding him a meatball sub as soon as he exits the womb. Haha. The flying duchess is still afloat. In fact, thar be a garden sproutin soon on the deck. We wenches know how to make a ship a home. :o) Have a happy labor day all! Hey, maybe my sister will have her baby on labor day! That would be hilarious!

Craziness at Work
Ok, so just now, like 10 minutes ago, this guy came in to cash his check. No problem, I make my living by cashing people's checks. :o) Then, he started rambling on about how he has to pay bills and how he hates it (don't we all). Then, he started telling me that he got in an accident and he can't work, etc. I count his money out to him and he says, "What's your name?" I told him my name and he reached out to shake my hand, I shook his hand and then he took my hand and kissed it!!!!! WTH?!!!! Then, he starts telling me how beautiful I am (of course I am nodding my head in agreement) and tells me that next time he comes he is going to take me out to dinner and such. Then, he makes me count his money back to him AGAIN, tells me I'm beautiful AGAIN, and hands me 5 dollars! I gave the 5 back to him, and he tells me that I'm breaking his heart, but there was NO WAY I was taking that 5. So, I gave it back to him about 4 times, he finally took it and made sure I knew that next time he came in, he was going to take me out. What the heck?! I pretty much drenched my hand in sanitizer after that. Kind of a creepy 10 minutes....

Vacation Adventures
I'm sitting here at work after a week of beautiful r&r. I kind of like it though, I feel like it's my first day again, it's nice. I have a new found respect for life.... :o) Ok, I had an awesome vacation! Are you guys ready for this?
Monday-I went with Mother Hen to drop Harry off at camp in the morning. When I got home, Farah and I headed off to Morro Bay for some kayaking. Kayaking was so sweet! I thought I was going to be a little scared, but I wasn't. Good times. That night, Farah made me a birthday dinner and then we watched friends.
Tuesday-My aunt who lives in Oregon called me because she was in town with my cousin and wanted to hang out with me. We went to Santa Barbara and had a good time. Rose came over and gave me a bday gift of a plant. We potted it together, it was nice. Michael and Parker came over for a bit and Parker gave me an amazing cd for my b-day! It was delightful.
Wednesday-I woke up and packed for Sacramento, then went over to the Hough's to say goodbye. Mother Hen made me some b-day toast. Yummy. I left for Sac around 11 and got there at about 4:30. That night I went out to dinner with all my old friends, it was nice.
Thursday-I just hung out in Sacramento with Steph and then went to Sonic where I had some tots.
Friday-I headed off to a wonderful weekend in the wilderness. It was full of beautiful adventures, along with some clumsy falls and scary climbing. I had a really good time.
All in all, my vacation was awesome. When I got home I had a note on my bed from Farah that told me she missed me, and a book on my toilet from Michael about starting your period. Haha. And now I'm back at work. Vacation lives on in my heart. :o)

Last Night
My closet was so messy last night, so I decided to clean it. In the heat of my cleaning frenzy I found a couple papers I had written at Sac State. I couldn't believe I wrote them. They were filled with so much passion! What happened? I remember the first day I realized how big this world was, and how great the measure of suffering in so many places was. Everyday I thought about selling everything I had, or getting on a plane to go help people in need. It's not that I am apathetic about it now, I'm just more reluctant to do anything about it. Is that bad? I don't know.

Change of Thinking
Farah and I are offically roomies! I pretty much love her. Last night we stayed up and talked about, yes Michael, life, love and other mysteries. I really don't want to go back to work tomorrow! Today has been such a good day, this whole weekend has just been amazing! I think I've had excitement overload. :o) I'm pretty sure I'll crash soon. The Hough's are on vacation, I really miss them. They come back on Friday. Crystal is married, totally crazy. The wedding was pretty sweet. I don't have much else to say, I'm just really happy right now. Life is good.

The Last
Ok, here's what's going on. I wrote this letter tonight to let go of this "thing" that has just been tormenting me for too long. I'm not suicidal, I'm not depressed, I am fine. I pray that this really is it.
To the man who has broken me more than anyone else,
If my heart were a book, your name would appear on many of the pages. How I wish those pages were written in pencil so I could erase them. It wasn't right for you to use me in an effort to hide your feelings for men. For that, I feel betrayed in so many ways. From the night that I stayed awake in my bed too excited to sleep because of you, I thought we would most likely end up together. Even when we weren't acting on our friendship, I still held hope in my heart for us. The night you called me to apologize for not giving me the time and attention I was worth when we were dating, what was that? Was that really what you were apologizing for? Why didn't you just apologize for dating me? To say that I was always just a good friend, is that true? Tell me what is really true! HPI. Here are some truths: you have broken my heart more times than you know- tonight is the last time, I didn't reject you- you rejected me, the letters that I gave you were the most personal and treasured thing I have ever given anyone, so treasured and personal that I was waiting for our wedding day to give them to you- I wish I had never written them, I put an effort into our friendship- you threw it away, you lied to me. I suppose I could have looked a little deeper into the situation. I could have taken a hint when you made no effort to see or talk to the girl you said you "really liked too." I could have kept you in my mind as the mold for my future husband and left it at that, but I didn't. This letter is the result of that, among other things. I don't know how you can erase me so easily, without even talking to me, without even apologizing, and I remain tortured. I don't want to think about this anymore. I don't want to cry over this anymore. I don't want to wonder if I did something wrong anymore. I just want it to be gone, so now it is. I've realized that I have nothing to be sorry for in this disaster, so I'm not. I have nothing left to say, nothing left to ask.
May my heart never be troubled or swayed by this again,
Jennifer

Ice Hockey and Such
I decided today that I am going to go to an ice hockey game this year. How fun would that be? To get in the spirit, I am going to watch the Mighty Ducks and Miracle. Who's with me? In other news, this is the week that Farah and I say ahoy to The Flying Dutchess. We will board our ship on Thursday and hide our plunder sometime thereafter. I hear the Black Pearl will be arriving soon, we wouldn't want the slimey souls on that wretched ship to find our treasure. Pirate Drazin and I will have to find a suitable place for our valuable jewels and such. Dread pirates Parker and Shaw have shown no mercy in the villages they have ravaged in the past. Contrary to popular belief (Pirate Shaw), I attack my villages with grace, and I don't use items such as: sardines, potatoes, tortillas, processed meats, etc. If ye pirates want to accuse me, you will surely walk the plank for your horribly false accusations. That is all.

Living on a Pirate Ship
It's true, Farah and I are still searching for a name for our love shack. And wouldn't you know, the Michael's are naming their place after a pirate ship, what a great idea! So, I have generated some possible pirate ship names for F n J's place...
The Cruel Manta
The Gold Lightning
The Poison Cry
The Gold Thunder
The Vile Cannon
The Swashbuckler
What do you guys think? Farah?

I Cheated
I totally screwed up my diet guys. Not only did I eat ice cream last night, I had Wendy's for lunch today, and I am about to consume yet another bad substance. Somebody needs to get over here and slap me! Ok I think I'm done.
You guys are pretty much hilarious. I assure you all that I am fine. I wrote that poem because it was just something I have held onto in my heart for a while, and now in my eyes, the letters are gone. I'm over it. I don't feel like writing it all out so if you want to know about it all, just ask. I don't have to work tomorrow, this is a very exciting fact. My plans? Nothing really, which is great. Tonight was my last lamaze class with my sister. It ended pretty good, I think all of the future parents learned a lot, I was pretty much just scared out of having kids.
Last night I bought a couple of episodes of The Office off of ITunes. If you haven't seen that show, you need to. It is pretty amazingly funny. Here's a quote from it: "I can raise and lower my cholesterol at will." "Why would you want to raise your cholesterol?" "So I can lower it."
Here's another one, just in case you're not completely convinced: "Statistics show that most office gossip happens around the water cooler. That has me at a disadvantage because, I bring my own waster to work." Come on, that's some funny stuff and you know it!
Ok, I think I have said enough about stuff. Have a good week my friends!

Letters and Words
Ok, I realize that this might be a little lame, but I've been thinking about some things lately and tonight I wrote a poem. Don't judge me. Here we go...
Letters and Words
I gave you a part,
a piece of myself.
You didn't want it,
maybe you never did.
Was I worth anything?
My heart written down,
in letters and words.
I gave them to you,
but you didn't want them.
Were they worth anything?
I wish I had thrown them away,
my letters to you.
My words in the trash,
better there than in your hands.
If I would have known,
I would have thrown them away!
They are more worthy there,
than in your hands.
Please throw them away,
my letters and words.

Dyno-Mighty
So yesterday was the Fourth of July, pretty exciting. I pretty much love fireworks, even though they pollute the air and people don't pick up their their remains afterwards. Ok, I had been looking forward to the church block party ever since I heard about it. And I'll admit that it started out a little lame, but it definitely ended up being a blast. Haha, get it? I was very happy to see all of my beloved friends there, even Morgan came! Michael totally almost had an asthma attack, which was a little scary. I even went on a walk with my vintage buddies Rose and Michael, that was pretty exciting. The only sad part was that it was a potluck and I ate a lot more than I should have. Oh yeah, I also entered into the apple pie cook off, I really thought I had a chance at winning. But alas, somebody with more experience won! Blasted age discrimination. :o) Just kidding. Anyway, all in all I had a great fourth, hope all of you guys and gals did too.

Weight Loss Challenge
Yesterday, my co-workers and I got on a scale (seperately) to see how much we weighed. Did we do this for fun? No. You see, we all decided that it was time to shed some pounds, but this time, it's going to be different... because it's for cold hard cash. Sure I want to lose some weight, but nothing motivates like the crisp feel of Jefferson, Abe, or Johnson. I would also like to fit into my favorite pair of jeans again too, don't juge me guys. I must say, dieting is really hard! The exercising part is much easier. I suppose it will be worth it in the end though.
Ok, next topic. One more month until Farah and I move in together!! I am very excited about this. I've been trying to think of names for our place. Anyone have any suggestions? A few that I have thought of are: Serenity, The Haven, The Love Nest, and that's about it. Farah, what do you think?
Alright, I really don't have anything else to say. Hope to see most of you at the 4th of July Block Party, you better vote for my apple pie!
Shout Outs:
Michael: Your blog about us and the x-men/women was fantastic! I give it five stars. :o)
Farah:I can't believe there's only one short month until we are together everyday!! Our place is going to be so great, I am so thankful that we became friends.
Tani:You better get me something from that booth you're always working at. I like explosions, that's all I'm gonna say. Call me.
Parker:Does it scare you that I'm planning our future? If it does, I'm sorry. I just have all of these ideas about what the roomies can do together! The picnic/bike ride one is pretty great, don't you think so?
Zach:Your deck looks amazing. And I've decided that I am going to agree with Michael, you are pretty much Angel. Glad we got back in touch, come visit soon because we all miss you.
Lauren:You crack me up everyday! I am really thankful that we work together, it's gorgeous!!!
Carrie:How about a free tour eh? Seriously, we need to find time for each other, I still have your bonfire blanket if you want to go to the beach sometime... with me. :o)
Ashli:Remember 2 summers ago when you lived in old orcutt and we had the bbq where we kidnapped Kevin? That was fun. We should do it again soon, maybe w/o the kidnap though.
Austen:If you don't bring me back something from Sonic, I will fight you. And that's no lie.
Steph:You are a great photographer. That sunset was incredible. I can't wait until I come to Sacramento again, old skool.
Reuben:"Guns don't kill people, I kill people."
And to everyone else out there in blog land, forgive me for not giving you a shout out. Happy Canada Day my friends, Happy Canada Day.

Will Ferrell Quotes
Here's the deal. I'm at work right now, and I need to occupy my time with something, so I am going to do a little Will Ferrell trivia. I have enabled anonymous comments on my blog, so everyone can play. Here is goes....
1) "Are you not aware that I get farty and bloated with a foamy latte?"
2) "And son of a vondruke, if I didn't lose your baby."
3) "I'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us. It's science."
4) "What I thought we were in the trust tree in the nest, were we not?"
5) "It's just like Santa's workshop! Except it smells like mushrooms... and everyone looks like they wanna hurt me..."
I think I'll just do five for now.... Let's see how much you kids love the funniest man alive!

Forrest Gump
Ok, that man definitely lived the dream. Today I was watching a little bit of the movie over at Michael's and remembered how great it was. If I were alone, I would have totally cried. Let's consider this thought that the character Forrest Gump had a great life. Here are the reasons:
-He wasn't a smart man, but he knew what love was.
-He totally rocked at Ping Pong
-The love of his life (although she died and that sucked) realized how great he was and that she loved him too.
-He made a fortune by keeping his word.
-He followed his heart in every situation.
-He made an impact on the world.
I'm sure there are many more reasons. If you have any, feel free to share them. My point is, why do we make life so complicated? It really shouldn't be. If you love someone, you should tell them. If you make a promise, you should keep it. If you have a debt, you should pay it. If you feel like dancing, you should dance. Ok, that last one was just for fun. But seriously, why not? Alright, I think I'm being a little too hippie for some of you, just my thoughts for the day. :o)
Happy Sunday folks.

The Horror of Childbirth
How many of you out there have heard,"Sure it's painful to give birth, but once the baby is born, you forget about the pain." Ok, so I'm taking lamaze classes with my sister, and yeah, that's a total lie. Childbirth is painful!!!! Spoiler alert.... if you don't want to know the cold hard truth about childbirth, quit reading now. Here is a list of painful and just plain gross things that women have to go through during childbirth:
1)Let's face it, pregnant women gain weight. And after they have the baby, it's hard to take the weight off.
2)Not only do you have to give birth to a child, you have to give birth to the placenta too! Who knew?
3)You know when you're trying to fit a water balloon around a faucet that's kind of big, and the water balloon is too small so it rips? Yeah..... get my drift?
4)Sometimes you push too hard and poop in front of everyone.
5)Two words: Mucus Plug
6)If the baby isn't head first, the doctor will fix that by moving him to that position. Ouch!
7)Contractions.
8)Hemroids.
9)Loss of bladder control.
10)Awkward positions.
Ok, that's pretty much all I can say right now. Sure, babies are miracles, but let's not deny that they are also painful, and pretty gross, and kind of ugly when they come out. Lord help me if I get pregnant!

Afternoon Delight
Funny story: yesterday I went out to lunch with my dear friends Debbie and Lauren. We went to the wonderful world of Wendy's (or as I like to call it "Wednesday's). When we were ordering our food, Lauren asked the lady if they sing happy birthday there, because it was Debbie's birthday. The lady just laughed, and Lauren said, "That's okay, we'll just have to give her a little afternoon delight." The lady that was taking our orders gave us the funniest look and then said,"Ok....." The literal meaning for the term "afternoon delight" is in fact daytime love making. Hilarious. I still like singing that song though, it's delightful. I'm totally at work right now, good times. It's a pretty quiet day, great day for some shout outs!
Lauren-You are totally going to be the first one to read this because you're sitting right next to me. Shout out to you for not being ashamed of the greatest song ever, afternoon delight.
Tani- I can't wait to hang out with you tonight. You better stay up this time, I even went to bed early last night so I could stay up longer tonight. Love ya.
Farah- A month and a half until you move here! Horray, I am so excited to live with you, it's going to be fantabulous.
Michael- I told my friends at work about the old school words you use, they laughed. I commend you for your word usage.
Parker- I promise I'll sit next to you in Sunday School because we're practically best friends and you know it. If I get a new TV, can you install it for me?
Steph- Hope you have a good weekend. When are you gonna come visit? You can bring your man candy if you want.... :o)
Carrie- Hurry up and come home! I miss you.
Everyone Else-Thanks for reading! Sorry I didn't give you an individual shout out....

Setting Goals
It's definitely not what you think. Today I set a goal that I would beat solitare at least once, and wouldn't you know it, I think I have beat it about 6 times already, and the day isn't over yet! Kind of a big deal....
Only a couple more months until the lovely Farah and I move in together. I'm pretty excited about it, I think we'll have some good times together, pretty much like everyday. Farah, what do you think about Mason jars for drinking glasses? Be honest. My little sister is graduating on Friday, weird. I remember when she was just a wee babe... my how time flies. Well, this day of work is almost over, maybe I can win one more time. Oh and that movie "The Breakup", horrible. The only thing that remotely redeemed it was the brother who had an acapella group "The Tone Rangers", other than that, the movie stunk, don't go see it. Happy Tuesday!

Week O' Fun
What a crazy week it has been! First of all, Ric and his friend Steve came and stayed from Monday night until Saturday. It was a great time. I miss living in the same city as Ric. :o(
Let's see.... I saw X3 on Thursday night, that was pretty exciting. I'm going to have to say that my favorite was the 2nd one, that one just rocked. The third one was good, but not as good as the second. Anyway, enough of that. Sacramento was a blast. My favorite thing was soccer and seeing all of my old peeps. Good times. Hopefully I can go back this summer for a little backpacking action/bodega bay. I can't believe my sister is going to have a baby in a few months! I am totally going to lamaze classes with her. Fun fun. Hopefully it will help me get over my fear of child birth. Because yikes, it looks pretty rough. I'm pretty excited right now because today is Wendy's Wednesday and Tani is celebrating with me. Horray!

Come and get your love
I don't know why I was compelled to make that the title of my blog, I just like that song.
So, I sent to Sacramento last weekend, good times. I had a blast spening time with old friends, adn I even made some new ones too. Buca Di Beppo is an amazing place to eat at, especially if you have a big group of people, I felt like I was in Italy. To top it all off, not only did I get to hang with Rickory this weekend, he also came to Santa Maria on Monday night. He brought a friend from Kentucky with him, Steve. He's pretty cool, he went to In and Out for the first time yesterday. Sadly, he compared it to McDonalds even after Ric and I explained that it's basically blasphemy to compare In and Out to McDonalds, we'll see if he goes to Heaven. :o) Summer is almost here! I am very excited about this because that means: I move in with Farah, my sister has a baby, it's warm, and lots of other things too. Let me just say that I can't wait for tonight- season finale of LOST. The suspense is killing me people! I really hope they get rid of Michael soon, he is way too evil now. Welp, I suppose it's time for me to stop writing.... kepp it real my friends.

MCoram Deo and all that jazz
The theme for college retreat this year was Coram Deo which means before the face of God. The main thing I took away from it was- How do I live my life everyday before God's face? So that's the practical question that I am going to ask myself everyday. Good times.
Two more days until Sacramento! I even made some cd's for the road. I guess I don't really have anything else to say. More shout outs? Ok, I suppose......
Tani- Thanks for finally getting your triple barrell out of my car. :o)
Michael- Thanks for awakening my heart to crunchy peanut butter.
Farah- I LOVED your blog about the kids day lie. I commend you for unmasking the lie that everyday is kid's day.
Steph-Thanks for changing the sushi plans. Seriously, it means a lot. I really hate sushi and sushi bars.
Ashli-Sorry I'm not going to be a yg tonight to laugh with you. :o( Good job for going back to school, I think it's a greeeat idea (in Tony the Tiger's voice).
My dear Bottelsen Friends-I think about you guys all the time and remember the good times we had working together. I still don't know where the stick of big red is!
That's all for now, once again- I'm sorry if I left anyone out.

I Wish I could Sleep in Like Tani
It's just not fair! :o) Oh well, I suppose I'll get over it. I am very excited about these next few weeks. Let me just tell you guys about it...
This weekend is college retreat, and it is going to be way fun! Not only that, but I'm sure there will be some relaxing involved too. Then, next Thursday night, Crystal and I are heading up to Sacramento to see our dear friend Rickory graduate, we also get to see some other wonderful people too (like you Steph). I am just really excited I guess. Plus, today this lady at work brought quiche! And this other girl brought mexican sweet bread, yummy. I love working at my job, the people are great. You know, I think I want to give shout outs too. Here it goes, my first attempt....
Farah- Shout out to you, my future roomie! I am so excited about living/decorating/having fun with you. I can't wait 'til you arrive in the 805 for good.
Tani- How I've missed you. I am really glad you're home, thanks for having lunch with me yesterday, and for spending the night on Saturday, even though you didn't even stay up with me. I love you.
Michael- Good times at Klondike. Next time, we should have a pac man duel. I'm stoked to get to see more of you as I am the honorary bff of the gf.
Ashli- You were cracking me up at youth group! Thanks for making me laugh everytime I see you. :o)
Steph- One more week! Thanks for letting me stay at your casa, I can't wait to see you.
Carrie- Congratulations on the degree my friend! Oh the places you will go. I love you.
Sorry if I forgot anyone....

Back to High School
Today Michael and I were discussing what it would be like to return to high school as the people we are now. If I had the chance, I definitely wouldn't want to go back to high school, but if I absolutely had to- here's what I would do differently....
-ditch class at least twice a week
-have more confidence
-pay attention more in Spanish
-participate in PE
-not have a job
-do crazy things all the time
-go to every dance
That's all I can think of right now. Anyone else have anything they would do different?

I Love Sundays
I really do. I mean, first of all there's church to look forward to. You get to see all of your friends, and meet your hug quota for the week all in one day, you get to sing great songs/hymns with the family of God, sometimes you get to go out to lunch with your family, or even better, there's a bbq going on for some charitable organization and you can buy chicken or tri tip at a reasonable price, you can take naps, play games, play sports, watch movies, clean your room, do laundry, blog, and many other things that I can't think of right now. But I just love the Sunday mood. You know what I mean?
Happy Easter by the way. The Lord is indeed risen. Pastor's sermon was great this morning. I love the way he talked about the day we will stand before the throne of God to hear our "sentence", and He will say, "How do you plan to pay for all of these offenses?" And Jesus will stand up as my defendant and say, "I paid the price for her." How amazing. I will forever keep that picture in my head.
Since it is Sunday, and I really don't have much to do right now, I think I'll write about something I was thinking about last night. If I may use the word, I was thinking about how my reationship with the Lord has evolved over these past few years. And one big thing that I really thought of was the way I thought He looked at me. I realized that I had always looked at God as a judge, I guess like a police officer. If I was reading my Bible, and following His laws, He would be happy with me and love me, but if I wasn't doing those things, I felt like He would judge me and maybe even love me less. And that led to me obeying Him in order to, I guess, earn more of His love. As I have grown in these past few years I have realized that He fully loves me all of the time. Whether I obey Him or not. Whether I am faithfully reading His word, or not. Whether I am ministering to His sheep, or not. I don't need to do anything to earn His favor, I already have it. And knowing that motivates me to serve Him, follow Him, obey Him, and love Him. It's so much easier to have a realtionship with Him when He's not Officer God. I feel so much more free now that I can look at Him in this light, as a Father who loves me dearly whether I am sinning or not. I am so thankful that He is new everyday.
Happy Sunday everyone!

Santa Maria: The Windy City
It is so windy today guys! At least it's not raining again. :o) Here's the scoop folks, I might be trading in my car. I'm totally serious right now, the X might be ancient history starting tomorrow. I know, it's a little sad. I mean we've been through so much together, and those nights at the driv-in, but she's paid her dues, and I think she might be going to a new home. I can't say for sure, but the outlook for the X doesn't look so good right about now. I'll let you know the final decision. What could possible replace her you ask? A beautiful 2003 VW Jetta. It's pretty amazing, almost too amazing.... Anywho, I better get back to work! Have a fabulous day folks!

Crazy Article
Ok, I have some more grief to talk about. Today I was reading an article on Yahoo about the 9/11 911 calls from the trade towers. And one of the relatives of a victim in the towers said that the 911 dispatchers didn't handle the calls properly and that they weren't prepared. OK, seriously! Who was prepared for that? What were they supposed to say to those hundreds of people who called 911? All they could do was stay on the line and try to give them some comfort. I think people need to stop blaming and move on because there's no way in Hades that we could have expected/predicted/prepared for/prevented an attack like that. It was definitely a horrible, horrible thing that happened, done by people with pure evil running through their viens. And as much as we try to think of ways to prevent attacks, they think of ways to carry them out. It's sick. So for heaven's sake, don't tell a 911 operator that their words weren't good enough. Those people have a job that I would never want. They have to stay calm in hopeless situations, if that isn't enough, they have to try to keep the caller calm and get information out of histerical people. Ok, now I'm starting to ramble. Anywho, that's my political opinion for the day. Don't judge me. :o)
Ok, I have some more grief to talk about. Today I was reading an article on Yahoo about the 9/11 911 calls from the trade towers. And one of the relatives of a victim in the towers said that the 911 dispatchers didn't handle the calls properly and that they weren't prepared. OK, seriously! Who was prepared for that? What were they supposed to say to those hundreds of people who called 911? All they could do was stay on the line and try to give them some comfort. I think people need to stop blaming and move on because there's no way in Hades that we could have expected/predicted/prepared for/prevented an attack like that. It was definitely a horrible, horrible thing that happened, done by people with pure evil running through their viens. And as much as we try to think of ways to prevent attacks, they think of ways to carry them out. It's sick. So for heaven's sake, don't tell a 911 operator that their words weren't good enough. Those people have a job that I would never want. They have to stay calm in hopeless situations, if that isn't enough, they have to try to keep the caller calm and get information out of histerical people. Ok, now I'm starting to ramble. Anywho, that's my political opinion for the day. Don't judge me. :o)

What the Heck?
On my way home from AG today I was listening to Radio U. For those of you who don't know what Radio U is, it's a Christian radio station that plays hard Christian stuff. Anywho, after one of the songs, the dj came on and said, "Some news out of Pismo Beach, a man in Denny's shot two people and then killed himself." Pretty sad. I listened on thinking he would give the listeners some more info about it. Instead, he turned it into a joke. He went on to say that the thing that makes him sad about this whole situation is that no one should ever be afraid to eat at Denny's except for if they're going to get a grand slam breakfast. It was something like that. Then he talked about how much he likes to eat at denny's, and then he said, "Let's take a moment of silence for Denny's, and the grand slam breakfast, and those people that got hurt." I was completely shocked. How could he turn that into something funny? 3 people were killed in that shooting. Those people could have been husbands, wives, children, mothers, fathers, they were important. I felt compelled to call in to the station and tell the dj that what he said sounded disrespectful to the people involved as well as to their families. I expected to get an apology, or some sense of remorse from the dj, but I got something totally different. The conversation went a little something like this:
DJ-"Hello, Radio U"
Me-"Hi, I was just listening to you talk about the shooting in Pismo and I think you came across as disrespectful to the people that were involved."
D-"So?"
M-"I live there, and it's a serious tragedy. I think you made it sound like a joke."
D-"Well, I live in America."
M-"You don't think it was wrong to turn it into a joke?"
D-"People are going to get offended no matter what."
M-"Well, I just wanted to let you know how you may have sounded to the listeners."
D-"Have fun if you eat at Denny's."
Ok, I would have NEVER expected that out of a Christian radio station. I will never listen to that station by choice ever again. It was like he was trying to argue like a child would. I am totally baffled. Just because we have the "freedom" to say whatever we want in America, doesn't mean we should. Well, that's my grief for today.

New Week
Another week is over, wow. In theory, I'm a well trained "teller". I get to put my practice into action next week. I'm pretty excited about it. It's literally raining cats and dogs right now. (ok, maybe not literally, but I just like using that word when it's just ridiculous to use) There's a pile of hail outside that looks like snow, it's crazy! I even went outside and played in it for a bit. I'm glad I got to spend some time with visitors this week. I scrapbooked with Harry, went out to coffee with Tani, and saw a movie with Carrie. Good times. Carrie and I saw Failure to Launch last night. It was great. I think everyone who reads this should go see that movie, it will make you laugh A LOT. My plan this morning was to sleep in until 10. Sadly, I woke up at 7:30. At least I'm not tired. Well, I guess I don't have anything very exciting happening right now. HAve a good weekend friends!

A Week at Work
Well, it was my first 40 hour week in a long while, and my first time working in 2 and a half months. I'm tired. I know I sound like such a baby right now, but I just wanted to be honest. I had training this week for Coast Hills, it has involved a LOT of videos, some internet class/test things, lecturing, playing hangman, and some other stuff. I get to start at the real deal next week. Very exciting. Anywho, that's enough about that. Tonight I went over to my grandma's and quilted. It was very fulfilling. A nice close to a busy week. Two special people are in town this week, lets give it up for Carrie and Tani. I would definitely like to spend some time with both of you. Well, I think that's all I've got. Tata.

Life is Fun Again
Ok, so I'm just going to say that I am very relieved right now. Number one, I got a job. Yay! It's at Coast Hills. I am very excited about it, and I start training this coming Monday. Number two, I am working on my second quilt which is turning out beautifully and I have all of the squares completed so it won't be long before the whole thing is done. Number three, I got to visit some great people in Oregon. These people included: Reuben Rawk Hough, Greg, and,my aunt and uncle and cousins. That was good times. Number four, a magical bill fairy paid my cell phone bill so that it didn't get turned off. Thank you magic fairy, you are truly wonderful. Number five, I get to go to a cal poly baseball game for FREE tonight and sit in box seats! I've always wanted to sit in those, and now I get to, for free! Number six, my dad is going to buy me new clothes for my new job tomorrow. Oh yeah! Ok, I think that's about all the excitement I can write about for now. Oh wait, there's one more.... a magical grocery fairy filled up my refrigerator with vanilla soymilk (my fav), it's a beautiful sight. :o)

After I write this I am going to eat some oreos
Well, maybe I won't eat oreos, but I will eat something because I am sooo hungry! I guess what i am really saying right now is that writing on my blog is more important that food. Hmmm. Anywho, I had a great weekend. Steph and Lori came down from Sactown to visit. We did a lot of fun things like: go to the zoo, go to the beach in SB, go to church, eat at the olive garden, go to Pismo, make ice cream, watch office space, walk to Kay's country kitchen and eat brunch, it was nice to have them here in my hood. Although I liked living in Sacramento, and I made a lot of good friends there, I never really felt at home. I feel at home here. It's nice. I finished my quilt. It's amazing. Well, at least I think it's amazing because I worked really hard on it. If anyone tells me otherwise, I don't think I can be friends with them. My next project will be more ambitious... I'll let you guys know when I start it. I had 2 job interviews on Friday, at Midstate bank, and Coast Hills. They both went well, I think, but we'll have to see if I get called back.
On Thursday morning, around 415am, I will be heading to SLO to get on plane to go to Oregon. I am very excited about this trip because not only do i get to see and hang with Reuben and his new friends, I get to see my aunt whom I haven't seen in about 7 years. I also really like flying, especially when they give you warm cookies. Well, my stomach is complaining I'm afraid I have to answer it's call. Peace to all. :o) Oh and happy valentine's day!

La Vida Loca
Just kidding. Tonight, I successfully watched 4 and a half hours of television. Here is what I watched in order: Seinfeld, Jeopardy, Seinfeld, Skating with Celebs/Wife Swap, The Bachelor Paris. I feel a little guilty about it, but I'll get over it. I don't know if I've ever been this hooked on TV before. I mean there's Lost, American Idol, Skating with Celebs, The Bachelor, Survivor, I just can't quit watching. And I should probably go to bed right now, but I just drank a coke (sorry Michael) so I am kind of wired. In other news, I am making a quilt. It's not very big, just a baby quilt, but still. When I am working on it I never want to stop, but my grandma convinces me to so that's good. I'm glad I'm learning how to quilt, it's really relaxing and fun. Anywho, I'm pretty excited that some friends from Sac are coming down this weekend, it's going to be great. And then maybe on Valentine's Day, we'll order a heart shaped pizza.... yum. I just had to throw that in there. Good night y'all.

The Movies
I used to HATE going to the movies. I just couldn't stand the thought of sitting in the same seat for 2+ hours, stuffing my face with crap, and paying 6+ dollars. But now, I'm ok with it. However, I am not okay with the movie that I saw on Saturday, The New World. It sucked! There was a collective moan of disapproval at the end of it. First of all, Tani fell asleep during it, Parker kept checking the time, I kept sighing, it was just bad. If I ever see Collin Ferrel in person, I am going to tell him to give me my six bucks back. I would not reccomend that movie to anybody. Ok, I think I'm done bashing The New World. On a happier note, we had a potluck at church tonight. I ate so much! (I know, I'm bad Michael) And I think that's about all I have to say tonight. I'm glad you were home this weekend Tani.

Insanity
If I could choose one word to describe my life right now, it would be insanity. Do I have a job? No. Am I going to school? Not technically. Is my life a complete mess? Yes. I know that God wants me here, in Santa Maria, but I am so tired of it. It seems like every week, something new gets added to my plate. But it's not something good like cake or corn on the cob, it's something horrible like they would have on fear factor. Except for the fact that I am not going to get $10,ooo dollars if I consume it, I am just going to get heartache.

Cold Hands, Warm Heart?
My hands are definitely cold right now, I don't know if the second is true though. Just kidding. My mom is out of jail. We don't know if she'll have to go back or not. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I feel like I've been doing a lot of waiting lately. I took one of those career personality tests last night. Wow, was that exciting. I scored highest in personal services and social services (isn't that the same thing?) and lowest in science. I scored higher in math than I did in science. What is that? I like science, I think it's interesting. Guys, I don't know what I am going to do. It's really starting to frustrate me. I have so many friends who already have their careers or families, and I just feel lost. I know I'm still "young", but I'm not going to stay that way. I want to go to school, but for what? Don't worry, I am not quitting school or anything, but I just feel aimless right now. I think I can finally understand why some people just pick a major that they don't even really care about, just to get their degree. I'm not saying that I'm going to do that either, but I just don't know what to do. I don't have a job right now, so i've just been kind of helping out around the house and stuff, I really like it. I wish I could make a job out of it, but alas, I can't. Well, I think I'm done blabbing. Keep it real guys.

Don't Judge Me
I don't know why I put that as my title for this blog, but I did. Ok, I am just going to say it, I wish I could stay in bed all day. Not because I'm tired, but I feel like if I just stay there, nothing bad can happen to me. And if anything bad happens to anyone I care about, I won't have to deal with it. My mom is in jail. How random and lame is that? Sure, I could be sarcastic about it, and just make it a joke, but I am so over that! I've done that so many times to make the things that my mom does seem funny, but really, they're not. They're damaging to everyone around her. My dad put it well, "It's like she breaks things and expects everyone else to put the pieces back together." That's how I feel about our relationship, I try to put the pieces back, I try to be the adult, but it just doesn't work. Yesterday was the worst. My sister Jessica, my brother Chris, and I had to go get ALL of my mom's stuff out of her ex-husbands house. This included a lot of boxes, two very heavy dressers, and a big bed. Oh, and we had to get all of Jessica's stuff out of there because two days prior to all of this, she had moved in with my mom and Phil (her ex). A little side note about Phil- he is a total and complete jerk, a waste of life. I know it sounds harsh, but if you met him, you would understand. Anyway, my siblings and I went to the sheriff station to get an officer to escort us while we were getting the stuff because Lord knows we don't trust Phil for one second. After two trips, we got all of the stuff. The sheriff was amazing, he even carried some boxes in his car. But, it was hard work. My sister is pregnant and I didn't want her to lift anything heavy so Chris and I did all of the heavy lifting. At the end of the day I sat down and realized that I did all of this stuff for someone who doesn't even care about me. Even if she says she loves me and cares about me, how can I believe it?
Guys, I feel like my heart is in pieces. I don't know what I should be doing right now, I don't even know what I want to do. I feel like a loser, I feel like I'm being lazy, but deep down I know I'm not.
My mom is getting bailed out today. I don't know what's going to happen. My aunt (her sister) went to Santa Barbara to do everything that needed to be done to bail her out (thank God). I wouldn't have had the strength for that. And then she's going to come home to live with her dad. Who knows what happens after that, I suspect she'll have to go to trial in Nevada and then get put in prison there. And then all of this will happen all over again. So, that's where I'm at right now.

Today
It all started at 9:38am when I called Michael. I was supposed to call him when I woke up so that we could go to breakfast, and that's what time I woke up. We went to IHOP and had a spectacular breakfast where we then proceeded to Wal-Mart and bought friendship slippers. That was fun. After that he convinced me to go to Santa Barbara with him to see an old friend. That was also good times. Just like back in the old skool days. After that we had a thrilling drive home and then Michael dropped me off at home where I put on my slippers (aka: house shoes) and sat around for a bit. Then I ate great hamburgers and headed off to Woodstocks for dollar pint night, oh yeah! Except for that I didn't drink anything. I arrived there with Deirdre, Kevin, and Austen, and we were met by: Billy, JD, Nelly, a bunch of Billy's friends and the vip guest.... John. It was quite fun (even though there were a bunch of people screaming and yelling because of the football game going on). Then we had an exciting drive home where we talked about weed and premarital sex, and how college ruined me, and about some other things too that I can't really remember but they were really funny at the time. Now I am about to go to bed to get some rest because I'm going to the second most happiest place on earth tomorrow.... Disneyland. I haven't figured out what the first happiest place is, but I'm pretty sure it's not Disneyland. Anywho, that was today.
Austen-"Kevin, how do you feel about vaginas?"
Kevin-"The giants?"

Mrs. Hough is Making Cookies
Oh the beauty of rainy days. I can't tell you how much "comfort food" I have already consumed today. I have been an organizing fool too. Yesterday was quite fun because I stayed in my pajamas all day long and didn't even go outside. It was awesome. But today, I just didn't feel like doing that again, so I woke up pretty early (around 9:30) and watched some of the Rose Parade. Then I did some other stuff. And now, I am sitting here watching Mother Hen make beautiful cookies, I can't wait to eat them. I think I'll start my job search tomorrow. That will be exciting. I hope I don't end up getting a boring job that I don't like, that would stink.
Yuck, I just saw a preview for that new movie that's coming out "Hostel". That is some scary stuff. The preview alone makes me scared. Anywho, just thought I'd say that.
