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.

My Alaphabet
A-Awake. It's exciting to wake up in the Flying Duchess.

C-Coast Hills. I love working there.
D-Dust. My old room is pretty dusty and I need to clean it.
E-Excitement. I have pretty much had excitement overload lately.

G-Goals. I feel like I am slowly accomplishing them.

O-Oil. It costs too much.
P-Party. I went to one. Not my cup of tea.
Q-Quiet. It's definitely a quiet day at the credit union today, the reason I am writing this ridiculous blog.
R-Rest. I need some of that.

V-Venti White Mocha. This would be delightful right about now.
W-Win. I really want to win the weight loss challenge at work. I'm doing good so far.
X-Yesterday, this lady at work gave me one of those handi-snack things. Remember those? I always got the in elementary school. Good times.

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.
