I've been absent

I am going to try and catch you all up on my hectic life, but I'm also going to try not to bore you.... 

As you know from my previous posts, finals are next week. I've been insanely busy trying to get all of that stuff taken care of. 

(I was pretty proud that I whipped this paper up in about 45 minutes. Procrastination at its best, I suppose.)

National Nursing Home Week is next week, so I've been doing a lot of preparing at work for that.  Tomorrow is 50s Day, so you can count on a few posts about those events. 

This is a sign I was working on for the ice cream floats booth tomorrow. Yahoo!

Spring is here!

I blew up a ton of balloons, and I "did not" suck helium from a couple of duds.

And of course, I couldn't help but offer the oldies a mustache.

Today is my day off. I got to enjoy it with Anthony, and it was an incredible day!  We went to Wal-Mart and got stuff for a picnic, and then we went to Busiek Park to hang out in the water/trails.  It was loads of fun. He killed a lot of "snakes" for me. ;)

After that, Anthony watched me play Portal and gave me tons of tips.  I've decided that I'm going to be a cool girlfriend and play video games.  I'm starting to love it.. Oh dear.

We have now watched tons of Buffy, and I am completely hooked. Ah well- at least it's almost summer! It's a guarantee that a tv show will suck the life out of my free time.

And now, to wish my mom a Happy Mother's Day! She is an incredible woman, and I can't wait to see her next month!

Cheers, all!

The good things about life

Sometimes, I'm just happy. Don't get me wrong- I have unhappy days, too. If you've followed my blog for any period of time, I'm sure you've seen evidence of this. But I'd like to share with you a couple of my good days.

I went to Harrison, Arkansas to visit with Anthony's family. It was amazing. It really made me miss my family, but at the same time, it was refreshing to be around a wholesome family. I had an incredible time. 

Lindsey picked me the flowers in this picture and I felt awesome. Bren was playing on my iPhone while sitting on my lap. I felt extra awesome. I hope these kids still like me, even if I run out of Amelia Bedilia books and iPhone games. That's my lover boy in the background. He's amazing. 

Amy and Dave drew on each other and Anthony and I drew on each other. We are so immature. It was fun, though. My drawings were symbolic so that equals maturity, right? Ha.

His drawing was not symbolic. I mean, really? A rose-ish thing coming out of a skull? How childish. HA.

We played a LOT of Yahtzee. I love games. Does anyone else like board games? My family always plays games on holidays. It's my favorite part.. other than the food, of course. 

On Monday, Antho and I went on a date. It was lovely. :)

We started out at Hoover Music Store to get him some music for his banjo. My next instrument is going to be the mandolin. I can't wait until I'm a millionaire and I can afford random instruments!

After the music shop, we went to Galloway Station. If you live in Springfield, I highly recommend this place! It was awesome! I guess Monday is the day that this Irish-y band plays. THIS WAS THE BEST DATE, EVER! Good job, Ant. 

Edit: I posted the wrong video! Whoops. This one's my favorite:

What'd ya think? Isn't Anthony cute?! ;)

After dinner, we went to Barnes & Noble so I could keep Lindsey stocked with Amelia Bedilia books. Ant had to stop me from spending $50+ on the books, so I bought three. AMY, don't tell her! It's a surprise!!!! Hahaha. I love children. And I love books. It's the perfect combination.

We found this incredible book of "the best wrong answers." (I think that's what the title was...)

"What is the lowest frequency a human can hear?"

- a mouse

"What is the highest frequency a human can hear?"

- Maria Carey

"Adam cuts his arm. Blood gushes out and it is red in color. What does this show?

- He is not a robot, he is a real boy!

- "What is a fibula?"

- a little lie

Alright, people. Life is good. That's all for now. 

Cheers ;)
