watch out for this randomness

i don�t have any one complete thought, so this is going to go all over

this whole "let's pretend to be Lorry" thing at work has been awesome, but i'm tired and i'm only half through this week's madness. 9 straight shifts, 8 of which are open, then a day break before it is go again! disgusting as it is, i actually woke up yesterday at 4:15 am without my alarm and even worse, i found myself looking forward to tomorrow since it is the weekend, i get to sleep until 5:15! oh my... pathetic.

on a good note, there was sweet lightning as i drove to work this morning, always makes me a happy camper. also happy today because i get pictures back and get to drop off a whole new roll. disturbing however is it contains the picture of cliff and tony's shaved legs. still not over that one.

pat blair is awesome. a: he has a motorcycle b: he went for a ride with us last night

so here is a great moment from yesterday to share: we are playing some sand volleyball, and it is just pat and i on a team. we were winning and came to "GP Jump Serve" which...I SUCK AT! ok "suck" cannot adequately explain my inability, i am just plain terrible, but i still have a lot of fun trying and entertain those around me. so as I go to attempt, this guy comes walking by. completely unaware of our silly v-ball rules, he merely sees me toss this ball up, flail in the air, miss and encounter the sand! the best part of the whole thing is that he totally thought i was serious. he was great! he was doing everything in his power not to draw attention to himself and make me feel bad, he dropped his head and tried so hard not to bust up laughing, but i mean come on! i was crying I was laughing so hard at myself! pat and i were just rolling by the time he got by us. oh well...nothing new, i looked like a fool, good times good times

i may suck at jump serves, but i don�t suck at swing dancing... woohoo for tonight! be at woods street, you know you wanna!

what you didnt mention was that NOONE could jump serve, and it would be just as funny if he saw any of the rest of us try... yay for the never ending games :)

em-
i thought of you twice today. once when the terrible thunder about made me drive off the road on the way to work today because it was so loud. i almost said out loud "are you happy emily??" :) and then i just got back from grocery shopping at fareway. the meat boys were packaging some 80% ground beef for me. i had to wait a few min. i realized that i was zoning out- but when i came to i found that i had been staring at a pile of corn dogs! again, almost laughed out loud- but managed to keep it inside! lata'
