my last entry was just over a month ago, how sad.

i guess i should update.

well, camp ended last friday, i had training all day monday for my new job, and yesterday i got my wisdom teeth out, fun! meh.

i got a full length mirror, yay! it’s pink on the frame! and it was only $4.50 at walmart! whoo! now i won’t be running into my sister’s room constantly to use hers. i think i want to place it directly under another mirror i have, so it will be like…super full length!

but yeah, my teeth, it feels weird. i’m missing 4 of them . it doesn’t hurt much though.and instead of the pain meds they gave me, i took ibuprofen tonight to try and reduce the swelling. i’ve heard that the 3rd day is the worst, but hopefully that won’t be the case for me. it’s really not swollen, might be because my teeth were pretty much in already. they didn’t have much digging to do.

i was like super scared of waking up during the surgery, but that didn’t happen. they gave me laughing gas, then an IV, and that is all i remember. next thing, i woke up and the lady was like you’re done! and i just wanted to go back to sleep right there. it was such a nice sleep. oh well, until my next surgery i guess.

oh, and here is sal! he’s my new friend!

you know how cats always try and drink your water? usually if they can find a glass sitting around, they dip their paw in and lick it. but my cat, she’s special. she sticks her whole face in the cup. this leads to lots of spills, because sometimes she’s too far away from the cup and ends up tipping it over. i’ve woken up quite a few times in the night to the sound of water spilling by my bed.

she also likes to hide on the couch when i walk past.

i tried to rotate the last few pictures, but they just wouldn’t go…oh well.

so last entry i said i made a shirt, and i finally got around to uploading pics of it.

since it was 70s day i wore some peace sign shorts and braided my hair

i love to theme dress it’s super fun. :D:D

tonight i made a T-shirt themed after this vid. maybe i’ll post a picture tomorrow.

 friday i saw “date night” with my mom. the movie was okay, i had a fun time listening to my mom do this scream-laugh thingy that she does when she thinks something is just hilarious. that was well worth the  hour and a half movie in and of itself…haha.

saturday i worked out, mowed, and then got italian for an early father’s day dinner. the dinner was pretty fun, and the spaghetti was pretty much amazing. i never get meatballs on my spaghetti at home :D:D.

this morning i saw the A-team with my dad in the theater. i felt like such a heathen going to see a movie during church time…haha. but i don’t see him much so i guess it’s okay . the movie was pretty fun, i would see it again.

i tutored this afternoon, and also got a new phone, yay new phone! and then i went back to the school church thing. i’m really liking it there.

after church i went to walmart to get some mountain dew, and almost had a panic attack.i couldn’t see my precious diet dew. and then i saw it…the last case, on the bottom under all the cases of regular. YAY! and that pretty much made my day. i wasn’t sure what i would do without any dew for tomorrow . i already had my mom make an emergency dew stop at the convenience store today, but that can’t exactly happen during work hours tomorrow. oh well.

oh and i totally broke my no food at night rule, but for freshly baked homemade rolls, it was worth it.

time for bed now i guess. more getting up early tomorrow.

this is my new phone, except mine’s pink. it looks like a gameboy hehe.

i’m very accident prone.

yesterday i closed a car door and on the way shut it hit my knee, which is apparently still pretty tender because it hurt a lot!

this morning i was in a hurry so i was running around the house quite a bit. i hit the top of my foot against the  corner of a piece of wood, breaking the skin and bruising it all at the same time. one would think i would learn my lesson about running from that alone, but no. i kept on running….and ran my fist right into a door jam. ouch. apparently it’s dangerous to run in the morning before coffee hits. later this morning i was helping with the carpool outside, and apparently was standing where the ants also like to stand. more ouch. although that one wasn’t really my fault, as there was no ant hill nearby to warn me . then tonight as i was getting ready for bed i practically slammed my ankle into my bedpost. a bruise is already forming, and i don’t bruise easily.
i’m getting so beat up x_x

when i was little i constantly had dreams about being in the car with the rest of the family, usually on the highway. oftentimes it was an insane labrynth of highways above and below and all around us. there were so many places to turn off left and right too, never off the highway just onto a new highway route.usually we would eventually come to a gap in the highway, as if it were under construction still or something. then of course, being a dream, my parents would do something completely out of character and try to jump the gap. oftentimes i woke up here. i can’t recall if we ever made it across safely or not.

another variation of this car dream was the hill. the hill might start out normal enough, something you might encounter in real life. but the hill always turned into something much steeper and taller than anything you would dare drive a car up in real life. and the same as the gap highway, my parents would just keep on going. it was terrifying. it would get to the point where you were pretty much going at a 90 degree angle, straight up.and i knew that the car shouldn’t be able to do that! and yet it did. it was bad enough at the start, but the longer we went up this hill the more terrifying it got. i knew even as a little kid that the farther up we got, the worse it would be when physics started working correctly again, causing us to fall from the hill. i always just knew that we wouldn’t make it. and yet somehow we never crashed. i can’t remember if this is because i always woke up before that could happen, or if we actually made it over the edge of the hill. either way, we never actually fell off the hill and crashed.

i haven’t had that dream in a long time. but the other night, i had it again. except it wasn’t the whole family, it was just me and my mom. and it was still terrifying…as always, my mom kept driving (although i think it had been my dad driving when i was little, i guess not anymore because he moved out?). and as always, i was scared. but this time i voiced my fears. and of course dream mommy didn’t listen, although i know real life mommy would. and then this dream became worse than it ever had been.  no, we didn’t fall.. but the car did stop on the way up.  there we were, facing directly up so that you couldn’t even see the road ahead of you. all you could see was sky. and the car was stopped.and my mom, she climbed out of the car and wanted me to follow her. i thought she was insane.

i don’t remember how the dream ended, just that it was as scary as ever, perhaps worse. i had it a few days ago but only just now remembered it tonight as i was tutoring calculus. i was explaining how the derivative is the slope at each point on the graph of a function. i was saying something about positive and negative slopes, and steep and shallow slopes, and i remembered how in my algebra book they always had pictures of a car driving up or down a slope…and i remembered my bad dream.

as for the insane labrynth of highways dream, i have that sometimes still. except now that i’m an adult, i’m always the one driving the car . that dream is never bad though…just a little frustrating.

this weekend was pretty nice, very relaxing.

i saw two movies, and liked them both a lot .
the first was Gattaca, very interesting movie.
the second was Sherlock Holmes, the new one. i’ve already seen it, but not since Christmas so i thought i would see it again . i didn’t notice the first time i watched it, how they hinted at substance abuse, but hid it at the same time, passing it off as drinking. clever.

i also got to nap all weekend…hehe.

and i made some money tutoring, and got some bubble tea too. very nice.

now if only i can get to sleep because i start work tomorrow .blah, work. oh well, at least i have the after work workout to look forward to!

i made myself an amazing parfait for lunch.

i used lowfat yogurt, fresh strawberries, frozen blueberries (we didn’t have any fresh ), vanilla almond granola, cinnamon and some vanilla extract. it was amazing. the vanilla extract added a lot more flavor than i thought it would, it was really delicious!

excited to eat it!

it’s very good

summer camp is starting on monday. i’ve had orientation the past couple days, and i am so tired already. it’s not like i’ve been doing any actual work though, so it’s a little worrying that i’m feeling like this. i think it’s the getting up early. i haven’t had to be anywhere before 10 in a while! so this waking up at 7 thing…it’s kind of hard. not hard to get up, just hard later in the day when i feel like crashing . i need to get used to it though. i’ll probably need to be up earlier once camp actually starts, and then when school starts i’ll have 8:30am classes every day .

but i shouldn’t complain. at least i have a job for the summer, and a full time one at that. it’s hard enough finding a job right now, not to mention a temporary, full time job. it’s perfect for what i need right now, and i’m very grateful to have it.

on a random note, i’ve had a lot of tea today. i drank somewhere in the neigborhood of 50oz when i got home from the gym, then tonight i had two large bubble teas . and now i am drinking some valerian tea before bed to get sleepy. haha. i am a tea addict, i love it to death, even if it didn’t have caffeine i would love it. i think i actually got dehydrated today after my workout, and that’s why i’ve been drinking so much. i will have to do a better job of getting water during the day. all i had before my workout was coffee and mountain dew .

on another random note, i was approached by a guy while waiting on the bus. i was proud of myself for being able to come up with a fake name and age on the spot. in the future, i will be abbey, a 17 year old high school student. maybe i should make myself younger, like 16. and i think i need to come up with a good hobby. hmmm.maybe painting. or…kickboxing? lol.

this picture made me laugh. sorry it’s so small, but i found it on fb that way
