The Librarian Who Went To Sea

I was on the bus today, coming home from school when the librarian came on board. She had recently helped me with a project that I was working on, it's finished now!! thank goodness, so I wanted to thank her. Well, we started talking, and she told me that she had been a librarian on a cruise ship! I didn't even know that there were libraries on ships. But I guess it makes sence, people'll want to read. I just thought it was interesting. And then we got off on the same stop and she lives on the same street as me, who knew?!?

Knit Night

We, Riley, Gaelyn and me, went to Villiage Yarn and Tea to their once a month Knit Night this last Friday night. Tuns of fun.

I know it's sideways, but you get the picture.


Lady across the table who took our picture.

Gaelyn's finished product

This plate did have food on it...

Gaelyn grew a mustach while we were there.

"I love you THIS much!!"


Busy at work!

Who needs crazy partys when you have knitting on Friday nights??

I come home after taking a walk waiting for my porrage to cool off, and what do I find in my 'just right' bed? This, my very own Goldie Locks!! Well, that's not exactly what happened, but it's more interesting that the real story. (That's my bed by the way if you didn't get that)

Coolest People

As I walk into my house late Friday night I see this display of love on my kitchen table. The sticky note reads: "Dearest Anna, What could it be? -L&A P.S. Call me"

What is under the bowl you ask? And why are there colorful objects around it? Well, let me tell you, under the bowl was a cup of coffee, and the objects are there to attract the attention of my wandering eyes.

My lovely Chai Tea Latte!!

A happy me!!!

And now, for the coolest people in the world. Who are they? Why would they be so kind as to bring me this glorious gift? And how did they get into my house???


Laura Hutchinson!

Amy Hutchinson!!

The three of us on a camping trip this last summer!

More camping trip.

Oh and to answer the question of how they got in: well, they just walked in.

Never Give Up

My brother had this on his wall all growing up.

Dreams vs. Reality

Over the past couple of nights I've been having really weird dreams lately, mostly just involving people I know doing strange things, out of the ordinary for them. Well, last night I had another one, and I can't figure out if something was in the dream, or if it really happened! So I think I might ask someone, cause it's really bothering me!

We Flew!!

Monday Night Bible Study

Last year Jamie, Amy, Gaelyn, Hannah, and I had a Bible Study well, last monday night we got together at our Starbucks and had coffee and talked. I loved being back there with those gals! Good times! I have some pics from that night, so here you are:

Way To Early!!

The day after Thanksgiving is known to be one of the biggest shopping days of the year. And a whole lot of people get up super early to go shopping. I have never been one of those people. Although I have been a babysitter for some of those people, but that's beside the point. Well, this year changed all of that. I went out when it was still dark out to go shopping with my two brothers, and my sister-in-law. We, me and one of my brothers, spent the night at our other brother's house, and woke up at about 4:30, after we went to bed at about 1:30. So we didn't get alot of sleep, but that's all good, cause we got coffee before we went shopping! I really didn't get a whole lot of shopping done, but my bro and his wife did (they do this every year). Oh and guess what... I babysat right after I got back from shopping, so I didn't get to take that glorious nap I so desired! But that's ok, cause I got to chill with adorable Zoe:

Queen in Chem

Lately in Chemath (I have Chemistry and Math in the same class) we've been listening to music, and so I brought Queen to class today, and we listened to them. It was amazing! I love them ,and they were a big hit, well sort of, some people were completely repulsed, which it quite sad! But I enjoyed it, with quite a few others, my teachers included!

Dad

My dad in the Times!

Riley

Here's my little model for Diet Coke!

My Laura Comes Home

Tonight my friend, my next door neighbor, who's moved to Bellingham for school, came home for the day! I only got to see her for a very short time, but it was a wonderful time. We looked at some pictures (and I'd put some up here, but it's not working!!!!) and just talked a bit. And then I gave her a nice long hug! And that's the end of the story, so there you go!

The Bike Ride

On this glorious day my two friends, Laura and Amy, and I went on an 18 mile long bike ride. It was really fun, we even stopped at a river. Of course, we decided to get into the river, now it seems to me that whenever I go someplace with these gals, we always end up getting wet, and yet we don't learn. I think that we should just always carry towels with us. But anyways, it was a great trip, very beautiful. It was in a town called, well to tell you the truth, I don't remember what the name of the town was, I know it started with a 'D', and was passed Maltby, and it's next to a town with a 'C'. But other than that, I don't know! But it was really green, and pretty. And even though it was fun, it did have it's consequences, I'm sore!! And you know what, I don't think that I like that very much! Oh well, overall, it was a swell trip, and the good has definitely outweighed the badness of soreness!

I Got A Job!!!!

Yeah! I'm so excited, I'm going to be working at Edmonds Community College. I'm going to be at the information booth. I don't accually know anything yet, in fact, I'm pretty much clueless, but I think I'll learn, well I better! My boss lady said that I can even do homework, or whatever when there's no people asking questions, so once I start classes, it'll be grand!

It's Funny

English Project

So for English we have to do an interruptive analytical artistic piece thing, analyzing one of the pieces that we have read this year. Well, I'm making a collage, well, really 5 collages. You wouldn't believe how many faces that I've cut out! All of out collages are made entirely of faces, my partner and I have finished one of our collages, and We've just started on our second one, so we still have a long way to go. We are doing them on a poem by Langston Hughes, It's called, I To Sing America it's about a black man who has a hope that the black community will some day be equal with the rest of society, so we're making 5 collages how they stared out, in the poem, and what Hughes is hoping for, and what ends up happening. I won't go into it, because you're probably already not really reading this thing, I can't even believe that I wrote this much on it already! So all this to say that I've just started on this HUGE project, and it's not going too fast, so it's pretty much going to be possessing all my free time, wow, that don’t sound to great! And just so you know, I'm already really sick of cutting and pasting! And I'm off to go do more of it, well, not actually right now, now I'm going to bed cause I'm super tired, and I've just been working on it for almost 2 hours :|, a very exciting time!!! So g'night all! xoxo!!
