Sometimes you just have to LAUGH
Do you guys ever just get that urge to laugh? Like all of the sudden you think of this random memory and start laughing and can't stop. And it wasn't even that funny at the time, but now looking back on it, it makes you crack up? This wave of laughter suddenly just came over me today. And now my mind is just flooded with all of these hilarious memories. Let's see, here are a few examples:

When I lived in Sacramento I was driving to play volleyball and I was at a stoplight. I noticed the guy driving in back of me looked pretty cute. I started examining his car and him and noticed that he had a roof rack. By the time the light turned green I had already planned our wedding and family vacations. When I drove up to the gym to play volleyball, so did the other car. Turns out it was my friend Steve. I ended up telling him the story and he thought it was pretty hilarious.

When I lived with Farah we were moving her mattress back into her room after we had brought in into the living room for a sleepover. I noticed something on the box spring that looked like a bug or something. Farah looked at it too and it looked like a scorpion. I HATE scorpions so I told myself it was a spider and looked to Farah for confirmation. She said, "I'm sure it's just a spider." Then, under her breath, she whispered, "Scorpion." It was scary but also pretty hilarious.

Last one. When I was at Hume last year for summer camp, Steven and I took the kids on a nature walk. He thought it would be a cool idea for me to record them walking in a zig-zag-like fashion so that James could speed it up an use it for the video of camp. I guess I didn't fully understand him because I just stood in one place and vidoe taped while they walked around and turned a corner. I didn't hear them anymore and decided they weren't coming back so I started walking around the corner. They were all standing there with their arms crossed looking very dissapointed. When I came up to them they just started saying, "Jen! What were you doing?! Did you even record us?! Why didn't you follow us?!" I thought they were going to beat me up. Apparently they wanted me to follow them. It was a really funny moment.

Well, I am going on the Navajo trip!!! I am so very excited. It's funny that God answered my prayers a year later. Good times. I have a job interview tomorrow in Pasadena. I'm excited about that too. Please pray. That's about all for today. Happy summer!

I Tunes Suggestions
Ok, I don't know if you kids use the itunes but some of this blog is going to be about it. I went on itunes today and looked at my suggested music. A great thing about itunes, if you aren't aware, is that they make suggestions on songs and albums for you to buy based on your previous purchases. I almost always end up buying some songs off of their suggestions. But sometimes, their suggestions are WAY off. For instance, today I had these suggestions awaiting my approval: I will always love you by whitney houston, Papa Oom Mow Mow by I have no idea, Lips of an Angel by Hinder, and my personal favorite was the S Club 7 album. I admit that I choose chessy songs sometimes (Michael Bolton), but wow.
Anywho, good times on Itunes today.

Funemployement
Yes, that is my life right now. Not having a job is really weird. I faxed 3 resumes today, I think that brings the count to about 30. I'm gettin' my name out there ma! Just kidding. I would like to announce that I got 2nd place in the cake contest at the church block party. I couldn't even believe it. I almost cried tears of joy.
Next topic. I didn't go to Sacramento this week. Bummer. It's a fact that I would have to pay $100 in gas alone. I applied for a job in Sacramento so hopefully I'll have an interview there. That would be sweet. I have this anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach. I know I shouldn't be anxious, but it's just crazy. I don't know how to explain it. I kind of feel like there's a lot of uncertainty in life right now. I usually thrive on this feeling and see it as an opportunity for adventure. I'm still thriving on it but it's different now.
Umm, I'm going to Disneyland on Friday. Horray! I haven't been in a year and I'm ready for some magic. I'm really excited. Really. And then, something really really exciting is that I might get to go on the Navajo mission trip! If I don't have a job by then I'm going. I don't know what to pray for because I really want to go but I really want a job. (I secretly want to go on the trip more than I want a job though) Last year I asked God to let me go but it didn't happen, maybe He's just answering my prayers a year later. Sweet.
Well, that's about it for today. I rode my bike today. It was fun.

The Carpool Lane
I have thought about writing this blog for a couple of days. Now, I'm warning you, it's going to sound a little extreme so take it in stride. Here is my statement: the carpool lane discriminates against single people. I was driving to my interview in Ontario last Friday. The "group" interview. I was alone and I was a little late because of traffic. Now, if only I had been able to utilize the carpool lane, I would have made it on time. This week when I went to my real interview my brother was with me. We made it there in record time because of the carpool lane. I propose that right next to the carpool lane there should be a singles lane. I know what you're thinking, "Every lane on the freeway besides the carpool lane is a singles lane." While that is technically true, we should take it a step further. What if the singles lane was sort of like eharmony for the freeway? And then, once you met that "special someone," you graduated to the carpool lane. I don't know, maybe you could look up the person's license plate number and it would have all of their stats and hobbies and tell you if you were a match.
Anywho, don't even try and steal my idea. Holla back if you know what I'm sayin'. :o)
