pictures I like that happened to be on dad's computer

Yay for dorks! We make the world go round.

Me and Jaylee at the airport waiting for Taylor. This is back when she liked me more. :(



My reception



He was being dorky but I think he looks hot



Nice Madi. Nice.


tee hee!



Mmm, pretty temple.




I love my papa!





Me gazing adoringly into his face while he's thinking "awww, what the crap did I just agree to?" ;)









mystery shoppers


Last Saturday I babysat Jameson. That morning he was so excited for the sleepover, he woke up and packed his backpack and lunchbox with his toys and put on his hat and was ready to come over! It made me feel like a cool aunt! We played with trains and my hermit crabs and ate strawberries and watched Ninja Turtles and went to Tofor's parents house and played foosball and checkers. It was fun.

Today at work I saw a man dumpster diving. I like to think he was one of those people who dumpster dive not because they are poor or homeless but because they think that we, as a society, waste WAY too much and dumpster diving cuts down on waste. But my work is by a homeless shelter and maybe he was dumpster diving because he's hungry and poor and homeless. And here I am stuffing my face with Jolly Ranchers and sitting on my bum getting paid to do work anybody could do.

My brother and sister in law are pregnant - this is their third, I'm way excited! They've got two already; they're full of personality. Kimberly is 4 and a little drama queen/princess. Her grandpa took her to the store to get a kite to go kite flying - but she saw a princess dress instead and that was all she wanted; to heck with kites! Franklin is only 2 and loves monsters and scary things. Sometimes his parents get him to go to bed by telling him to be quiet so he can hear the monster in his closet!

I hope my kids will be fun like that.

I want to get a Beta fish because I was walking in WalMart one day and saw them sitting in their 1/2 inch of water. I can't imagine sitting, doing nothing for hours upon hours upon hours, with the occassional feeding and occassional person shaking your tiny plastic container home. What a waste of life! The only thing is, I'm scared to ask my landlords if a fish is okay to have - they're anti-pets, even though they have a dog.

We did Sharing Time yesterday - scary! There were maybe 3 kids listening, and then the TV wouldn't turn on, there was no remote so we had to skip through a the scenes to find the one we were looking for! I didn't think it would be that nerve-racking.

Today my dad and Lynette and I were checking out at the grocery store. Dad: "We're Macey's Mystery Shoppers!" Checker: "Did I do okay??" Dad: "Oh yes, everything was fantastic!" Checker: "Oh, good!" Lynette: "See why I can't take him shopping? We're not Mystery Shoppers."

I love my dad.

Ramblings of a first-time blogger

So Ben had a blog, and Li, and Madi and Brein, so I decided to get in on the action.

My folks used to live a mile away from my apartment, so they always gave me rides home. Now they moved and Kristofor and I are trying to figure out how to swing this new no-ride-home thing. Well today I got a ride home to their new house, and I've got about another hour before Tofor can come get me. It stinks because I'm not at my own home, but it's nice because I don't have to cook dinner ;)

He applied to a couple new jobs today. It will be a big pay decrease, but the hours and horrendous (for us) and there's just too much stress going on. I hope one of these other jobs works out.

I was looking in an older womans magazine today and found a magnificent ad for underwear with padding, to make your cheeks bigger. I cut it out so I can show Tofor and probably keep it in my wallet for laughs. I just think it's totally awesome; I didn't know they made those.

Had a dream last night that everyone rode little dogs around. Lily was my dog, and the bad guys were trying to shoot her down so I would fall. They missed. Lily kicks butt.

You know that song, New Soul by Yael Naim? No? Then go check it out, it's so good, I love it! It makes me think of summer and happiness.
