I Did It!

Last night was the play. I messed up on my song a little but it all went so quickly...it's done.

I had fun. I am SO glad that we have activities at church that let us have experiences we would NEVER get otherwise. Ie. I would never have been able to be in a play if I had auditioned for it.

I really had fun. I made a cool dress out of a sheet, and I wore dark lipstick, and liquid eyeliner out to the end of my eybrows...I wore crazy earrings, two bengals, one huge ring, and a scarf on my head... It was fun.

And now I'm done.

Not a Spring Chicken Anymore!!!

Does anyone else feel like they're aging in fast-forward?

I FEEL droopy.

Tell me it's just the lingering winter and that soon I'll be back to normal...PLEASE!!!

These "fine lines" creeping upon my face are NOT fine with me! Gone are the days of naturally Rosy cheeks and where is this hair coming from!?! I don't want it! Even my lips have "fine lines". This is not to mention everywhere else that tends to droop and change with every passing year...why? It seems like I was holding up just two years ago and all of the sudden my wax is in full heat and melting fast.

I might be fine with that if I felt mentally sharp and felt a fulfilling sense of well-being, but I don't. (I'm not depressed, by-the-way, I've been there and this is not it). I just feel BLAH!

So in looking for a "new" me or a new way to express "me", I highlighted my own hair. Tayler said I look like a brown skunk "not to mean any offense or anything".

So, I guess that's it. I stink. (Not really, I hope. I don't need to smell old, too!)

I guess I should know I couldn't pass for 24-25 for too much longer.

Have you noticed how YOUNG High Schoolers' look? They look SO young! (That's another sign that I'm getting old). Eric and I saw some kids dressed up for prom and some of them didn't look any older than 14 (and that's with the dress, hair, makeup, and heels)!

And just in case you don't remember...Tayler and Haley will be 12 in just 3 1/2 weeks!!!

Where does the time go? (I know, I wish it away, too.) Some days I wish it would last a lot longer (but those aren't school days).

There are two good things that come with looking older, a little more respect and (oh, the word slipped my mind. It'll come back, just give it a minute) oh, credibility.

That slippery-brain syndrome has got to go. (Or maybe it's to help me get through the kids being teenagers. In that case, it can stay.)

I know this is random, but, really, I haven't posted in so long I had to do something. So there you go...

Hi!!!

I know, I'm getting few and far between but really, my life is not action-packed. (Or at least, I don't really think so). But...

I've been playing volleyball on a recreation league and I LOVE it. I really like sports. (Playing them, not watching.) We haven't won any whole games (you know, you play 3 games but whoever wins at least 2 actually wins) but we have fun and we're getting better. I think I sprained my finger this week. I REALLY killed my knee like the 2nd or 3rd game we played and that was AFTER I broke down and bought myself some knee pads to spare myself injury. I wonder what I'd be like if I didn't have any kneepads on that night. Hard to imagine. It's been weeks and weeks and my knee still bothers me. My finger/hand/wrist seems to be getting better everyday and seems to be healing quickly. I hope it's all better by Tuesday. Next week is likely our last week unless we get lucky and win 2 whole games. Anyway, I think we should get something going at the church every week, we could even make it co-ed if we need more players (and muscles to put the nets up and down :o) ). I'll be sad when I can't play anymore.

With that, piano lessons, Scouts, Activity Days, church, presidency meetings, etc. I guess I'm not completely boring. Just the same stuff over and over again.

I got my hair chopped yesterday. I like it. I think I'd like it shorter and I'm tired of my color, BUT, I SURE AM HAPPY I HAVE HAIR!!!!!!!!!!

My lil sister's coming to see me next week! My bro. and sis.-in-law invited us to go camping next Friday night and that should be really fun! (I really hope the weather's nice). ;o) I do like camping.

And...Eric gets to keep his job. Macy's gave him his 3 weeks of vacation and 8 days for personal leave of absence so he can study for the bar. Then we will have a four-day weekend and that will be all our vacation for the year. (We'll go down to TN for the 4th of July weekend to see Eric's sis that's coming down from VT). We haven't seen them in a LONG time. We have a nephew we've never met. (Hmm...we have one of those in UT, too. We need to get out more! Ha, ha!).

Ahhh. The sun is shining and it's 60 something degrees outside, so I'm feeling pretty good. (Now, if only my house were clean!)

So I'm not dead. I just have to think of what to write. Hi everybody/anybody!
