Butterflies of Excitement

DISNEYLAND, DISNEYLAND, DISNEYLAND, LA-LAND!

(Sung to the tune of Jingle Bells.)

I'm pretty darn excited this morning. My best friend, Holly Schultz, and her mom are treating my mom and me to a day at Disneyland today! These are the same friends who brought my mom and me to the shooting of The Office. They are the best best friends ever. Holly and I have been good friends ever since kindergarten, but it seems we've just grown closer ever since. I just wonder why she still wants to be such good friends with me....she's WAY better to me than I am to her. Anyways, DISNEYLAND, TODAY! In the Christmas season! Holly and I are two peas in a pod when it comes to the Christmas season....its our favorite thing ever. And this is going to be my first trip to Disneyland in the Christmas season, so I'm looking forward to all the decorations and Christmas music and fake snow and spending time with Holly...she makes me in such a jolly mood.

So why am I writing this at 7 o'clock in the morning on the day that I go to Disneyland? All because I found out last night that we wouldn't be leaving until 9:30 in the morning, so I got the bright idea that I could go to Physics class at 8 o'clock in the morning and still be ready in time for the big event, and then I thought furthur that because there was a possibility that we would be using my car to go to Anaheim, I better get it washed. So I decided to leave at 7 o'clock in the morning to get my car washed in time to still make it to Physics class on time. Then I further decided that I would really like to look cute during my day at Disneyland, meaning I would have to take a shower, blow-dry my hair and curl it before I left at 7. So in order to do all that in addition to eating and devotions I would have to get up at five. So I did, five o-stinkin'-clock. But I had coffee right away in the morning, so in no time I was bouncing from place to place as I was getting ready to go, shouting with excitement for Disneyland. Unfortunately the coffee on the empty stomach made me feel a little sick, so the sickness mixed with the butterflies of excitement made me feel not very hungry for breakfast, so I haven't had much yet.

Anyways, next question you're probably asking: If you decided to leave at 7 o'clock, why are you writing a post when you should be gone, washing your car? Weeyyylll, I was all ready to go at 7 o'clock when it finally dawned on me that the pitter-patter of the rain outside that I had heard all morning meant that it would just be plain stupid to go pay to get my car washed today, besides the fact that my mom let me know that we would be using Holly's mom's car anyways. Oh well, the coffee and excitement make me too ecstatically joyous to regret having gotten up so early, and besides, I get to write a post. Such a rare treat for me!

DISNEYLAND, DISNEYLAND, DISNEYLAND, LA-LAND!

By the way, thanks so much to my sister Heather who sent me an Alice in Wonderland purse for a Fall Gift, coincidentally right in time for Disneyland! She also sent me foot-pampering supplies, AND a really cute coffee mug because she knows that I've been drinking coffee lately. All I got her for a Fall Gift were two pairs of Christmas socks. Woopdeedee. But Haj, you know I put my heart and soul into the purchase of those socks.

Am I being really weird? You know why? Its because I'm becoming a kid again. You have to become a kid again if you go to Disneyland. Yay!

More things that make me smile

Okay, done with Calculus class. I'll take five more minutes out of my day of studying for my huge stinkin' Physics exam tomorrow to lists some other stuff that's exciting for me lately. Simply because its a fun thing to do.

Here we go: T minus five minutes till time of stopping:

Cardio-kickboxing, Philippians memorization, the hope of pumpkin pie this Thursday, Sunday afternoons with nothing to do, my cat running to me with squinted morning eyes in the morning the second he gets let out of the bathroom (his 'cage' for the night), Pastor John's sermons, worship in Crossroads, the hope of Resolved conference in February.....

*breathe* T minus two minutes:

Pure silver rings, the holiday season, oooooo, here's a good one: coffee in the morning, the creative flavors of coffee mate, The Office, the thought of seeing Heather in January, the thought of holding her baby in June, looking at the Oviatt library after the sun has gone down (when its dark around the library and the lights are on inside so that you can see students studying, you get inspired to go sit down and study yourself), lets see if I can end with a bang: Agatha Christie Murder Mystery books!

Much Needed Update

Hi Everyone!

I've decided enough is enough. I need to update my blog even though I don't have enough time to do a full fledged blog about something in particular. I've just grown tired of knowing that every time someone checks my site, all they see is my sad face and the title "Quite a Grumble Day." How long has it been since I posted that? You all need to know that these past months have been almost purely grumble free. I do have to admit that I have my grumble moments when I get bogged down with schoolwork (is 'bogged' a word? what is the word I'm looking for?), but overall, life is very happy right now. My sister is expecting a son or daughter (meaning I'm gonna be an auntie!), my older brother is two months deep into a special relationship with one of my very good friends from Belarus, my animals are making me laugh everyday, school is almost over (a little over a month more!), my relationships with people at Bible study are getting stronger, my parents continue to guide me with their loving counsel, God proves to teach me new things continually, oh man, I feel like I could sit here all day listing things that are making me smile these days. Unfortunely I have a Calculus class that starts in about 12 minutes, so I better cut it here. Well, maybe I'll go a little longer.

Anyways, LIFE IS GOOD! I've been putting off posting because there is a particular post I want to do but I don't have time yet to do it to its full glory. Its gonna be about my cat, Prince Winston, or P.W., better known as P-Dub. He's such a cutey! But I really think he's got some sort of a brain problem, you'll see what I mean when I tell some stories about him. So the mixture of cat with a brain problem makes for a very funny creature, because cats can be pretty stupid even when they don't have a deformity with their brains. So you'll enjoy the post about my little white prince, I'm going to try to find time over Thanksgiving break.

Until then (unless I decide to get on again today to just ramble)!
