I just had to use this paper b/c (a) its cute and (b) its called swirly girly!
Is this background too busy?!
There is an option to have "Swirly Boy", which is slightly less curly/swirly
i guess b/c i started the picture post a long time ago, they posted in the wrong order, but i did put up a new post last night of pictures from "R" weekend in Lubbock (most of which you have prob already seen)...scroll down one post to see them...
also, I think i might use my $600 from the GW Bush/government to buy a new camera, i haven't really taken any pictures since i moved to kingwood b/c i dont especially love my camera any longer....it takes good pictures, but it is huge and doesn't fit in my purse at all...
Cousins that could come to Austin...Courtney, Lisa, Andrea, Lindsey, Amy, Erik, James
Andrea was asked to speak in front of the congregation :)
These were some of my favorite pictures...
although, there were many more that i loved too! it's hard to choose!
it was a blast!! and i can't wait to do it again!! love you girls!
I have two scenes I need to describe to you both are true events and both happened on Thursday Night
6:45 - left for 705: Beltway (my Bible study)
7:00 - arrived at Dave and Ally's and munched on spinach and artichoke dip (my favorite!)
7:15 - realized Bible study was not going to be a Bible study but a Birthday Party!
7:16 - recieved a personal-sized-homemade-chocolate-chip-cookie cake! (with ice cream -it was like a "Cookie Monster" thing but even BETTER!)
7:30 - played "the greatest group game ever" - CATCH PHRASE...this scene occured:
Speaker: "okay, i dont know this guy...his last name is like "bang bang"
Team 2: "Gun!"
Speaker: "okay, and his first name is two intitials...like the second letter of the alphabet..."
Team 2: "B!...BJ...BR....BM....BS....BC.....B...."
Speaker: "no, same letter"
Team 2: BB GUN?
Speaker: "Yes! BB Gun...........oh my gosh..............
Everyone else: hahhaha (crying) hahahha
**i purposely left the "speaker" annoymous, as she might be slightly embarrassed since she too is a blog reader/stalker** :)
Also, Dave yelled the "common" phrase of: WANNA PLAY SQUASH?!
so...after laughing, crying and at least one spewed drink....I head home...
10:45: "beep" "beep" - i go check me alarm clock thinking that is weird...
10:48: (louder) "beep!" "beep!"
10:50: BEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!!! BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPP! BBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP!!!...and thats when i figure out my smoke alarm is freaking out...
so between 10:45 and 11:30 I try to fix it...first i try circulating cooler air "BEEEEEEP BEEEEEEP!" then I try removing the battery (*note: i cannot really reach my smoke detector...i was on a chair, on 2 phone books and on my tippy toes stretching to reach it!) it takes me a while all the while, it keeps BEEEEEPing!
BEEEEP!!! so, I try to put a new battery in, after about 15 minutes i am sweating and it finally goes in...so i sit down on the couch...
BEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEP!....What the?! I just changed you!...BEEEEEP! BEEEEEP! BEEEEP! BEEEP! echoing across my apartment (its now like 11:20 at night)
I call down to the office..."My smoke alarms are freaking out...there is no smoke in here, and I already changed the battery...and it keeps going off!" office lady: "I am having trouble hearing you." me: "I KNOW MY FREAKING SMOKE DECTECTOR IS GOING OFF"
finally, some butch lady comes (very grump-ally) to my apartment with a ladder, and fixes it!
i am sure my neighbors love me!
i am sure i love 705!
