a menace to society....

i want a t-shirt that says "watch out world...i'm a menace"!!! It would be awesome!!! There has to be some sort of consolation for turning a 1/4 of a century old! I'm good though, it was freaking me out earlier but now i think i'm good! it's an excuse for good food, good fun, and good friends! Anything is worth the 3 f's!!! It's amazing how one birthday can remind you of what you want to do with your life, and also make you see that you haven't done any of it!!! I'm starting a list of things i want to do or start doing before i turn 30....any suggestions?

{its funny that i'm asking this because a total of like 3 people read this...hehehe}

I have a lot to look forward to in life so one day y'all are gonna come on here and there's gonna be a list of things

that i'm gonna do and they will slowly get marked off....i'm excited though...there is so much i wanna do, it'll be here before i know it!!!

Here I come middle age-ed hood!!!

milk mishap.....

there i was...lacking the milk for my cereal. no big deal, i will stop and get it from shop rite! In and out in less than 3 minutes...i am quite proud! get in the car, open the milk........POOF!!!!!!....ah yes, the milk has decided that it wants to give me a hug! It gets all over my pants down in my seat, all over the steering wheel, all over my keys....and what do i do you might say? well i just poured it in my cup of cereal put the cap back on and made my way home....going to work is hard enough...add feeling like you peed your pants and it being sticky and you don't really care anymore! i went home through the morning school traffic at glhs and changed---dried my shirt with a blow dryer put on different pants and shoes and made my keys and seat not so wet or sticky...and then what did i do? well what any self respecting person might have done....i sucked it up and went to work!!!

{mind you this would have been a good excuse to just not go....y'all should be proud}

random things......

1. the little man that peeks at me inside my stride gum makes me giggle! There is nothing like sticking a piece of your favorite gum in your mouth after an unexpected absence!
****

2. i think banana laffy taffy, pajama pants, cheesecake, dark chocolate covered almonds, t-shirt sheets, and funky socks are God's gifts to the world
*****

3. i think going barefoot is one of the best things in the world
*****

4. there is just something about cute little boys that makes me want to squeeze their cheeks and talk baby talk...odd i know
*****

5. my dream that robert pattinson was in love with me, while making me feel kinda special, kinda wigged me out!
*****

6. parenthood is probably the best show on right now! love their family dynamics and seeing lorelei (kindred spirit) regularly again...yay!
*****

7. just seeing the railroad tie sculpture in front of the aquarium makes me happy! Starts my day off in a way that makes me want to go around town snapping pictures of everything!
*****

8. people told me they wanted my hair.....i told them they could have it....they didn't take it...it's still mine.
*****

9. i think a 2234 count of pollen is just way to high to be considered "high" why can't they call it uber-uber-high or astronomical or something that actually shows that it's way high. 150 is considered high, therefore over 1000 should have a name all it's own!
*****

10. men in uniforms, with guns (legally), on motorcycles have an extra hotness factor that's just far too difficult to explain!

....maybe one day i'll do one of these that actually make sense! what ya think!!!


.....what's random in your life?

jealousy.....

i don't want to be....but i am! i can't help it. i want something so bad and i see everyone else getting it, and it makes me jealous because i want it too! alas, it is not my time. i must be patient and wait for the right time and the right person. i know it will happen one day, but its still hard, when i don't want to be jealous of all my friends whom i love dearly. it sucks. but i want to feel what they feel i want someone to love me so much it hurts, and i want to love like that too. to have that kind of love, what a blessing. to know that if i'm having a bad day that person wants to make it better. that if i just need to hear their voice, even if its the butt crack of dawn or midnight thirty, they're there. i want to have that in my life and be that for someone, it still all comes down to jealousy!

crazy awesome....

ummm....so i went to florida! it was awesome! I love the weather and i was so loving it the whole time!!!! No snow, and warm breezes....i LOVED it!! I bought new sunglasses (now i have 5 pairs). I've discovered that i love sunglasses...they freaking rock, and these ones were just specta-awesome!!!

i also went parasailing.....so something everyone should do. I forgot my camera but they took some shot from a cell phone so it wasn't to awful. We didn't have to get wet either.

and then we took off...it was awesome...i think that i thought it was going to be a little more rough, but it wasn't...it was cool!

Then they took us out to like 800 ft and we just cruised! It was cool and Jessie was flirting with the parasailing hunk the whole time! It was funny because we just sat there on this little swing that we had our legs through...it was crazy!

crazy awesome!!!!

(this is me and mom at my cousins farewell party....i look like crap it was a long day...i apologize, and if she finds out i put it on here......i'm dead)

So most of my life these days is consumed with work....ugh...church, and family. So my niece and nephew come over every other week and just hang so i figured i'd put up some pictures of them up.

Dawson just turned 5 and is really starting to come into his own personality. This is him at a going away party for my cousin Greg before he was deployed to Iraq. (He likes green cake).

He put the hat on like that by himself.....so i had to take a picture!

Presley (sissy) just turned 4 and is a little diva. When i say diva i mean diva! She rules the roost and even though she has 3 brother and shes the only girl she has no problem putting them in their place and literally taking the down a notch and to the floor....she can beat them all up....it's so funny. She's this little tough girl but is so girly! She loves dogs and princesses and would be happy all day long with those two things.

love these kids!!!

words.....

i was reading a post my a musician and it really touched me so i thought i would share it with you........

it gives me hope that there are musicians out there that feel this way about the world and really have a desire for hope! I love it!!! We must make it so!!!

life...

it's funny how sometimes i sit here at my desk and talk to people at doctor's offices and say "this is rachael with continucare" and then i just sit here and am like.....that was weird. it's weird that people take me seriously (well most of the time) and that i'm an actual adult. sometimes i still feel like a 18 year old just starting out on my own and that i have no actual reason to be affiliated with a certain company. wow....it was weird! it sometimes seems that my mind still thinks that its a not so much of an adult but more kid still. while this may be true in some aspects, it's not in the fact that i have bills just like adults and responsibilities just like an adult, and have to work just like an adult, and have to take care of myself just like an adult....way overrated. what it would be like to be 10 again and not have to go to school, but just playing and being 10 and carefree. yeah that would be awesome....

my brother left yesterday. it was sad, it's weird that we won't see him for 2 years but he is doing the Lord's work, and that's the important thing to remember. he started crying....that's when i started to get sad....i was excited for him...i know that he's been waiting for this for a long time, but now that it's here i guess it would be a little scary. my mom tried to hide her tears, but when we got home i heard her sobbing in the bathroom (isn't it funny how that door makes it seem like the world is so far away) do you know how hard it is to hear someone you love crying and can't really do anything for them? it sucks!....just so you know. i didn't cry, just teared up a little. it will be hard to not have any voice contact, but he's doing a greater work...and that in and of itself is a comfort.
