now you know the REAL me ;-)
fancy meeting you here!
OOOOOH! ITS BEEN SO LONG!
At the moment I have so many things I should catch my blog up on-but first let me just say...I have that song from Phantom of the Opera "All I ask of you" ( i think thats the name) in my head. You know, there is something about the songs from Phantom that require one to SING AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE. Unfortunately I am at work...and there is some annoying computer guy in the room with me-I wonder what he would do if I just busted out with:
SAY YOU LOVE ME EVERY WAAAAAAKING MOOOOMENT! TURN MY HEAD WITH TALK OF SUMMMMERTIMMMMME!!!!!!
Um no.
So, Steph is gone. I feel sorta numb without her! Actually it was so awesome having her visit, and while Nacogdoches IS the most noneventful place on earth she was a great guest and seemed to have fun doing the "everyday stuff" I do....it was special sharing my Nac friends and my church with her too!
Some things happened in the past week on top of Steph visiting that I didnt really have time to think about, minus the passing pleading with God...you know, its really amazing when that happens-when you are physically TOO BUSY to worry-so you just pray in passing and things just seem to work out! WITHOUT MY HELP ( imagine that, God just placing his hand in there...and doing it. )
However, I admit to you that I am now busy "dwelling" over everything that has gone down, so to speak, and I probably wont really be happy until I've totally obsessed about it all! *sigh* its true.
This weekend I bought the cutest bag EVER.... and I bought some shoes that are "so ugly they are cute"...I also saw Madagascar (meh, not that great) and ate lots of reeeeally good food.
In other news, Amy is back in town and that makes me happy...I am also excited that it is summer because it means that Katie will probably have a "little" bit more free time...right??
hahaha...anyway, I AM happy its summer...my Mommy is at home too-makes me want to be a teacher so *i* can have two months break too!!
I have to go write some emails....especially one to Sam because today is his BIRTHDAY ( or should I say wednesday...but with time changes and everything I THINK its today)
Happy birthday, Samwise.

fireworks...
there was the most amazing electric storm last night...I havent seen lightening that exciting in YEARS. Steph and I stood outside with Hung and Douglas and marvelled at the fireworks that were provided by the heavens.
It was perfect.
It was perfect.

Fried Green Tomatoes
I watched that movie for the first time last night: A big "Awwwwww". I really did love it! It, of course, made me cry because well..."friendship movies" always make me cry.
And on that note sometimes friendships can be hard, sometimes they hurt more than they provide joy...it is at those moments you've got to make the choice: Is it worth it.
Yes, it is.
~~~
Tonight, Steph and I are going to the PineKnot concert at Milards Crossing ( aka. the place you SHOULD NOT have a wedding according to the "event of 2002" ;-). ) I am excited, because i know it will be fun, even if the music is bad....if anyone wants to come along, it starts at 8pm ( Trinity, if you and James are free, come along!)...
And today Steph is hanging out with Katie and Brad while I am at work. Woo.

hostesssssssssss
Well, Steph is here safe and sound! I should have known she wouldnt get lost in LA! ;-)
It was of great fortune that I got yesterday off of work. After my four posts in a row ( dedicated to carmi and not emma) I got a call from Dee who said that I could just work the rest of the day and then she would work all day on Wednesday. WOOOOO! As much as i wanted to take a nap I also knew that having the day off the next day was FAR superior...look, realizing delayed gratification is apparently a sign of maturity! go me! woo!
Anywho, picking Steph up from the airport was pretty routine, I know the Houston International airport LIKE THE BACK OF MY HAND...ask me ANYTHING about terminal A. I KNOW IT ALL. *ahem* anyway....
Its really very cool/strange having Steph here.
Now, I gotta stop here and say thus far the most stressful thing about being Steph's hostess is EVERYONE else....people asking me what I've with her, what we are going to do...suggesting things for us to do. Dont get me wrong, I love the suggestions, but the problem with suggestions are that if I DONT do them...i should do something BETTER right? So for instance, one such suggester asked me what Steph and I did yesterday and I said:
We made t-shirts with one of my good friends.
I could visibly tell the person was disappointed.
And of course, they had a right to be...its not very "texas-y" to go to Hobby Lobby for 2 hours and then make t-shirts for three....
BUT, before you get judgmental:
Katie and I have made t-shirts together for YEARS. it is one of our favorite things to do...t-shirt making IS texas to me.
sooo its all realitive. Besides, I dont know what Steph and I are going to do this afternoon so we'll probably end up watching a movie because that is texas to me too! hahaha...just kidding..or AM I?

So, my title refers to this: abbey, i love hearing from you but...you post too much...i cant keep up. slooooow dooooown

BESIDES no one can take the only fun I have at work ( writting posts) away from me! NO ONE!
So this is an easy-to-read chapter index of the posts of today so those of you SO PRESSED FOR TIME only have to read that which truly interests you (if anything) and you'll at least have titles for the things you choose not to read and therefore wont feel left out. :-P:
1. The Sun(shine) will come out ( tomorrow): "Jeremy makes my day"
2. Episode III: My thoughts about THAT
3. An ode to Sleep: And my lack of it.

As you all know, besides writing lots and lots in my OWN blog, one of my favorite things is reading OTHER people's writings...it delights me. I am truly addicted.
Now, I am NOT the type to go out and "surf" the blogging world, there are too many crazy people...and, can I say, BAD writing out there for me to waste my time reading their blogs-besides I have reality tv if I ever feel like being reeeeally lame.
Soooo, this leaves me people that I know. Now, I have to admit, sometimes I can stretch my boundries and read the blogs of my friend's friends...buuuuut, thats because-hey, I like my friends enough to figure I'll like THEIR friends. :-P
However, the best possible thing is when people I really like, people that I enjoy talking to, people who are good writers, people that I dont get to see often/ever, people that I find it hard to keep up with...when THEY start up blogs it makes me very very happy.
So, when I was having my "not sleeping because I'm stressing night of 23 May 2005" I found out that our dear friend Sunshine has re-instated a blog on the fine world of the internet. WOOOOooo.
So, Here's to you Sunshine-I hope you find your niche in the blogging world and enjoy it in the process...I cant wait to read it! :-)
PS. Since we are talking about blogs, I might as well go ahead and address an issue- I loved doing interviews with my fine fellow bloggers...but I find it a lot harder to do interviews with those of you that dont post very often-so THERE"S some added incentive for ya, ( *cough*cough* Jared)

Episode III: My thoughts on THAT
Well, I finally saw the long awaited, long over-advertised, long over-hyped Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
The night was all together fun although I was on the grumpy side because I had had a LONG day of work, cleaning and lack of sleep...buuuut, Papa and I went to the theatre early ( to get good seats) we had a good time with the help of my ipod, a dilly that lets you plug in two headphones...and 978 songs at our fingertips. My mom and sister came in right before the movie started and then....the trailers.
I seriously ALMOST CRIED when I saw the trailer for The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Here's to another BEAUTIFUL world that Weta studios created.....SERIOUSLY. Do you remember the first time you saw the preview for Lord of the Rings:Fellowship of the Ring? I do. At the time I had heard rumblings about the movies and I had even gone to the website to get a hint of what was to come...but then, there I was sitting watching some movie (who even remembers) when that clip of the Nine climbing the mountains, each character coming over the crest of the hill came on the screen. I was elated! I was over joyed...I saw each character and recognized them from my own immagination- Oh, there's Frodo! There's Aragorn! There's Gimli! It was like seeing a friend, that you've been a penpal with for years and years, for the first time.
That is how it was again. I am sooooo excited, and of course, thankful...I was really worried that after the Lord of the Rings I wouldnt have movies to look forward to quite like that again...I was wrong.
Ok, what were we suppose to be talking about? Oh right.
Yeah, so even though I've never professed to be a starwars fan-except that I respect the IV-VI because they were the first of their kind....buuuut, this movie was actually GOOD. There was a particular sequence showing the Jedi all over the galaxy getting ___ -I thought it was really moving. I would also applaud Lucus on several very well done shots, especially the one from the inside of Darth Vaders mask as it is being placed on his head for the first time. Wow.
Anyway, all in all it was enjoyable and it seems that after six movies the writers finally just embraced the cheesy script and just made it OBVIOUSLY cheesy to the point of funny. HOWEVER, extremely lame was Yoda's speech syntax...ugg.
So thus endeth the Star Wars Saga....poor Lucus what WILL he do now?!

An Ode to Sleep: My lack of it.
I really do love sleep, in fact, I have always marveled at those of you out there that are able to truly enteract in the world without 7+ hours of it. Now, dont get me wrong, there are times when sleep fails me and I get less than that...but what I am saying is I am a useless shell when those times occur. For instance, yesterday, I was sooo tired all day long and I really WANTED to take a nap-I even tried at one point-but the problem was I had stayed awake to long-its as though there is an exparation date on sleeping or something....
Actually, I think it was because I had created some sort of hyperactive chemical thing ( technical doctor terms here) when I had rushed around to work and at work...and then trying to clean my room...well, after all that...it was as though my eyes were glued open.
This morning I whimpered when my alarm went off...because I know that tonight I have to be at the Houston airport at 12:30 at night...I know that I will then have several hours before I am in bed...I then know that I will have to be at work at 11am the next day ( at least its not 7:30, right?)
buuut, its all worth it, Steph will be here!

I didnt brush my teeth...
and I dont have any gum....
yeah, I am tempted to leave this post like that because it gives good words to the way I'm feeling and yet is vague enough...buuuut, we all know when I have really bad days I am not one to hold back :-P
The Longest (bad) Monday Morning:
It started when the phone rang at 3:30am. Who knows how long it had been ringing when I actually woke up, realized it was in the middle of the night, that no one was awake and that I should probably get the phone. Anyway, the person on the other end of the phone said, "I am looking for Abbey."
I totally didnt recognize the voice but it was male, they had called me Abbey and they had an accent....so I was trying to think (which wasnt working at 3:32am) when the person obviously realized my confusion and said...
"This is Philip."
"oooooh....Phil!" I think to myself while I walk into the kitchen to look at the clock on the microwave.
Phil: What time is it? You are 18 hours behind us right? So its like 12 noon?
( actually its 17 hours behind) but that didnt stop Phil from being reeeallly bad at math.)
but at 3:35am I am a girl of few words so I just said, "No, its 3am!)
Phil: Wow, I didnt realize, sorry!
Phil then proceeds to ask me questions about Steph who is coming to visit in a few days, now if you know phil at all...which a few of you do, you know that he can have a really "offical" voice and he proceeded to use this "official questioning" voice througout our conversation, it really added an aspect of scariness to the whole thing-or maybe it was just because it was 3:42am.
So it turns out that Steph, who is supposedly in LA at the moment, has not contacted her parents as of yet-they are obviously worried and want to know if I know how to contact her-which I dont. So, I tell Phil I will make sure she contacts them when I pick her up at the airport and we hang up.
Its 3:50am and I cant sleep.
I realize that I have no way of contacting Steph's parents if for some reason something IS up with Steph. I then totally start worrying about her, I mean whhhhhyyyy hasnt she contacted them? She's traveled before, so surely she would have called, stopped in at an internet cafe...SOMETHING.
Its now 4:30am.
I just cant take it anymore...and I have a very strange urge to talk to SOMEONE ....I thought about all the people that know Steph well...Kristy: She'd be at work.
Lydia: I didnt want to bother her.
Carmi: I didnt even know if she was back in Dunedin yet.
Sam: ....SAM! WOooo! I NEED to talk to Sam.
I get on MSN.
Sunshine was online so ended up talking to him for a while, which was actually really perfect because I got my mind off of my fears...and then Sam came home and so he was able to give me Phil's cell phone number ( now I can call him for an update or at least to get Steph's parents number)
Finally at a quarter to 5 I got offline and tried to sleep.
The story isnt over yet!
I woke up from a restless/half awake sleep at 7:23am ( now, lets all do some quick math )I live 15 minutes to 20 minutes from work...and I need to be at work at 7:30.
I think even Phil would get the math right on this one....i was LATE.
And while I found myself behind several HORRIBLE DRIVES WHO THINK DRIVING, SMOKING, and TALKING ON ONES CELL PHONE IS OK....I made it to work with 15 minutes before my doctors arrive at 8. ( thus why I havent brushed my teeth...I feel gross)
But, the good things that happened in all this badness:
I actually woke up at all! Considering I hadnt had much sleep.
There werent very many films this morning...a miracle since Dr. Barf was on duty in the ER and he is KNOWN for ordering tons of studies.
So, while things havent gone so well...i think God for getting me here without TOO much stress, if bad breath
yeah, I am tempted to leave this post like that because it gives good words to the way I'm feeling and yet is vague enough...buuuut, we all know when I have really bad days I am not one to hold back :-P
The Longest (bad) Monday Morning:
It started when the phone rang at 3:30am. Who knows how long it had been ringing when I actually woke up, realized it was in the middle of the night, that no one was awake and that I should probably get the phone. Anyway, the person on the other end of the phone said, "I am looking for Abbey."
I totally didnt recognize the voice but it was male, they had called me Abbey and they had an accent....so I was trying to think (which wasnt working at 3:32am) when the person obviously realized my confusion and said...
"This is Philip."
"oooooh....Phil!" I think to myself while I walk into the kitchen to look at the clock on the microwave.
Phil: What time is it? You are 18 hours behind us right? So its like 12 noon?
( actually its 17 hours behind) but that didnt stop Phil from being reeeallly bad at math.)
but at 3:35am I am a girl of few words so I just said, "No, its 3am!)
Phil: Wow, I didnt realize, sorry!
Phil then proceeds to ask me questions about Steph who is coming to visit in a few days, now if you know phil at all...which a few of you do, you know that he can have a really "offical" voice and he proceeded to use this "official questioning" voice througout our conversation, it really added an aspect of scariness to the whole thing-or maybe it was just because it was 3:42am.
So it turns out that Steph, who is supposedly in LA at the moment, has not contacted her parents as of yet-they are obviously worried and want to know if I know how to contact her-which I dont. So, I tell Phil I will make sure she contacts them when I pick her up at the airport and we hang up.
Its 3:50am and I cant sleep.
I realize that I have no way of contacting Steph's parents if for some reason something IS up with Steph. I then totally start worrying about her, I mean whhhhhyyyy hasnt she contacted them? She's traveled before, so surely she would have called, stopped in at an internet cafe...SOMETHING.
Its now 4:30am.
I just cant take it anymore...and I have a very strange urge to talk to SOMEONE ....I thought about all the people that know Steph well...Kristy: She'd be at work.
Lydia: I didnt want to bother her.
Carmi: I didnt even know if she was back in Dunedin yet.
Sam: ....SAM! WOooo! I NEED to talk to Sam.
I get on MSN.
Sunshine was online so ended up talking to him for a while, which was actually really perfect because I got my mind off of my fears...and then Sam came home and so he was able to give me Phil's cell phone number ( now I can call him for an update or at least to get Steph's parents number)
Finally at a quarter to 5 I got offline and tried to sleep.
The story isnt over yet!
I woke up from a restless/half awake sleep at 7:23am ( now, lets all do some quick math )I live 15 minutes to 20 minutes from work...and I need to be at work at 7:30.
I think even Phil would get the math right on this one....i was LATE.
And while I found myself behind several HORRIBLE DRIVES WHO THINK DRIVING, SMOKING, and TALKING ON ONES CELL PHONE IS OK....I made it to work with 15 minutes before my doctors arrive at 8. ( thus why I havent brushed my teeth...I feel gross)
But, the good things that happened in all this badness:
I actually woke up at all! Considering I hadnt had much sleep.
There werent very many films this morning...a miracle since Dr. Barf was on duty in the ER and he is KNOWN for ordering tons of studies.
So, while things havent gone so well...i think God for getting me here without TOO much stress, if bad breath

Got it!
I cant believe its almost Monday again, or at least that it will be Monday when I wake up...and I AM going to bed in 10 minutes whether I've finished this blog or not...
Sunday's always go by too fast! Today's sermons were really really good and I came home wanting more from myself...also feeling totally hopeless as to ever getting "there". There being somewhere better than "here". ( yes, I know...thats vague...but I'll give you a hint that these arent physical places I speak of.)
Did I tell you that I have finished an entire journal since returning to the states? Yup, Emma gave me a new journal at the airport in LA when I was coming back from NZ and I have not completely filled its pages... I think journals are fascinating, for me it is easier to look at time through the pages of a journal than any other form....to see my pains and my triumphs spelled out for me over pages of a journal just as they filled time and space-it makes some things a lot clearer. I gotta say, the end of this particular journal really threw me for a loop...I felt like I had failed at something...that journal was HARDOUT in a slightly "downward" manner-struggletastic to be exact ( Benton 2005)...and while I have great faith that their will be times of Spiritual Mountain tops in my future they sure didnt come before I had filled hundreds of pages of valleys....ah well, I guess its a lesson that God's time can not be dictated by me...or by the pages of my journal! :-)
My new journal is totally cool...I got it for Christmas from Billie and Steve and its been patiently waiting for me to be ready for it....it is beeeeautiful with a red and gold leather cover and a magnet clasp that keeps it closed...ahhhh....there is nothing like writing on fresh pages! :-P
Today, I helped Thomas make a birthday surprise for his special lady friend...it was fun...although I almost hyperventilated because I blew up so many balloons one right after another....I hope this means that my future is full of romance too ;-) I feel like I am constantly helping guys make OTHER girl's days! hehehe.....oh well, there are definitely worse fates!
Anna and I have ONE MORE episode of Season Three of the Gilmore Girls....ahhhhhh! the suspense is killing me ;-)
I re-discovered Shane& Shane tonight....mmmmmm! perfect for the mood I'm in!!
I am getting excited about Steph's visit....I see lots and lots of lack of sleep coming in the next week or so ( her plane doesnt get to Houston until 12:30 at night...and I have to drive home and work the next day! woo!!) but its totally worth it!! I just hope she has fun here!!! I am going to be counting on other people, my family mostly, to step up and "entertain" while I am at work!! So, if any Nacogdoches people out there want a very very cool New Zealand girl to spend some quality time with them in the next week...let me know, I'll be taking applications as of tomorrow :-)

Revenge of the Stupid
So, the family and I decided to go see Episode III on Saturday afternoon, and to tell you the truth I was looking forward to it, even though I felt that Eps I, II were totally lame....I figured that there was NO WAY the third and final installment could be that bad and so I was half excited ( just to give you the back ground)
BESIDES, I love going to full movie theatres with lots of excited fans, that is why I have always been the kind to go to midnight showings...you have such a connection with the other audience members....you can feeel the excitment!
So, there we were, in a packed theatre, so packed in fact that the family had to split up and my sister and I were in a middle row packed between two families....
the trailers start...and there it is, something to REEEEEALLLY get me excited-the trailer for The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe...AHHHH! I turn to my sister with glee! This is it, this is the movie I am SOO excited about! The trailer starts of with the children entering the professors house and so I am just WAITING for the moment they finally show us Narnia when.....BLANK.
The projector blacks out and all you can hear is the stirring music of the trailer...and a gasp from the audience.
we wait, we continue to listen to the trailer I so wanted to see...
my father finally gets up ( because no one else is) and goes into the movie theatre lobby and tells the manager, who is hanging out doing nothing, what happened. The manager says " Oh, yeah, we knew the bulb was going out..."
ummmm....ok....THAT was a smart move, putting a packed out movie in a theatre with a bad projector! uh-huh.
So, the movie starts, the screen lights up again and we watch the classic "StarWars scroll" before....and yes...its true, the projector goes out again....
this time with the idea of HEARING the sounds of "space fighting" happening without the visual ( which is pretty much equal with annoying bugs flying around your head) the audience was NOT willing to sit and wait patiently...
I watched and as large men with giant drink and popcorn in hand ( think of the comicbook guy from the simpsons and you've got your visual) lumber up the asle. Anna and I laughed.
I was still annoyed about not seeing my trailer...but I COULD enjoy a bunch of agitated fans. Anna said this was the time for the angry riot , and right on cue the two little kids behind us said:
kid 1: We should start a mob.
kid 2: yeah...but someone might get hurt..
kid 1: ooo...true, or even KILLED!
Ok, so it wasnt quite THAT dramatic but we did end up leaving after the projector broke a third time only five minutes into the film...I was already feeling "out of the action" and besides I wanted to come back and see that preview!
So we got our money back with the rest of the angry masses....
So, the story is funny but I DO want to rant about that irresponsible manager:
Not only did he put an important movie in a bad theatre, he was not up in the projector room to see if it WOULD work, instead he was hanging out in the lobby ( strike one and two)
THEN when things did get a big sticky he DID go up to the projector room and didnt come down, making his poor highschool employees get yelled at my big scary nerd men all alone without any back up. ( strike three)
AND if I was going to make the mistake of thinking this manager WAS intellegent I would say he did an excellent job of selling us 20 dollars worth of concessions knowing that we wouldnt be seeing a movie and that we would probably come back to see it again...meaning MORE concession money. smart. really smart. or should I say LUCKY, because I know that manager doesnt have a brain to think up such clever plots.
So, thats how I ended my afternoon watching episode II on DVD.

waiting and all that jazz...
John 11:5-6 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days.
There are times when I feel totally lost, totally alone and confused. I cry out and I wonder why God doesnt come rescue me RIGHT AWAY! Afterall if there was ever a time He should come in with the big guns this would be it....right?
~~~~
Imagine you've been told you are going to become King, but the excitement soon fades when the present king just keeps on going, in fact, this present king just seems to GROW in strength unstead of fading. Then, to make matters worse the king decides he wants to destroy you. From that day forward not only does your promise seem to be forgotten, but now you are on the defense constantly just trying to keep yourself and your family and friends alive.
In 1 Samuel 24 and 1 Samuel 26 David is given the opportunity to kill the king that is making his life miserable, who is keeping him from his promise. But he doesnt kill him. It seems like the Lord has "given" him these opportunities to help himself to "move things along"...to "help the promise happen", so why doesnt David go through with it?
Well, several reasons but what I find wonderful is that its GOD'S PROMISE and God will see fit to see it completed, without the "help" of His people.
There are times when I am tempted to "help the promise along" and there are times when I wonder at it taking so long, to the point where I start to think the promise will die before Saving comes....
But this is not the case.
It is because He loves me that he "waited two extra days"...it is because He loved me that He would let me be chased my a king who only wants my death and distruction, for He will be glorified in the wait, He will be glorified in the fight.
For the prince of this earth will fall, and promises will come to pass.
This is for all my dear ones who feel like they too are waiting in vain...

only interesting to me...
Part of my job is making a log of all the patience and the procedure they had done...I write down their name, medical records number, age, doctors name, type of x-ray...this sort of thing. Anyway, I have found myself pondering the people behind the name, some names give you more of a mental image than others...I've also wonder about how well first and last names go together....and when they DO go well together, especially the women-I then wonder if they are married ( meaning was it on purpose that their first and last name both end in "z"?) I've started playing guessing games with myself, such as I try to guess the person's age just by their name-its harder than you might think...
Now, it might sound like I had a boring day with all this talk-but actually I've hardly had a moment to sit down ( this is the first)...see? Arent I awesome, I can do all this gameplaying about names AND do nonstop work at the same time!? woooooo!
Today, I hated the fax machine...and the ER.
Today, I loved seeing my mother before work ( she had the day off) and watching jeopardy ( the guy who won look so freakishly like Sunshine I did a doubletake...hahaha!)

Little Treasures
So, as many of you may know...I stay at my sister's house quite a bit...such an arrangment can generate tons of good fun-we end up laughing a LOT ( and yes, carmi...we go right on to throwing our head backs and doing silent laughter more times than not!) and I've really enjoyed getting to know Anna better. Living in different cities/countries for the past...long time....its been nice re-adjusting to each other, I had never realized just how similar we actually are-we laugh at the same things, we gasp at the same things, we say the same stupid things at the same inappropriate times...its really quite scary. But, then something happened that reminded me that, no, there were still those crucial differences created by the unequal handing out of our parents genes...
"The Treasure"
It was a Saturday night and Anna asked Abigail nicely to please clean her room.
Abigail felt a little bad that Anna felt she actually had to ASK, but then when she actually went into "her room" she looked about only to see that the bed wasnt made-so she made the bed, wondering to herself, why at 9PM Anna felt like the bed needed to be "neat and tidy" ... buuut Abigail was already feeling guilty that Anna had had to ask and so she just muttered "Po-TA-to, Po-ta-TO" under her breath made the bed and went back about her business....
Later, Anna asked Abigail if she had cleaned her room, to which Abigail responded, "Well, yes, but it wasnt dirty..."
Anna replied," What about the trash on the floor??"
Abigail(outloud) -" There wasnt any trash on the floor!"
Anna (outloud)-"Well, ok, then."
Anna (to herself)" She probably just picked it up without realizing it."
Abigail (to herself) " She is probably imagining things."
Later in the night Anna walked past Abigail's room and said, "Abigail, the trash is STILL on the floor!"
Abigail was a bit shocked by this, since she hadnt seen the trash in the first place, but she was willing to give Anna the benefit of the doubt and so she said, "Oh! I didnt see! Sorry..."
This, of course, was the last Abigail thought of it. She went to bed later that night, and since she didnt see any 'trash' she figured that Anna had picked it up, afterall...who "sees" trash and then doesnt go ahead and pick it up, especially if you are as trash-conscious as Anna??
time passed....
On Wednesday night Anna says to Abigail, "what are your plans tomorrow morning?"
Abigail, who had no idea where the conversation was going, casually responded, " I am going in to work around 11."
Anna then said, "Well, tomorrow would you please make your bed before the cleaners get here...and also, could you put your special treasures that you've kept on the floor somewhere else?"
Abigail, "WHAT?"
Anna, "weeeelll, you never picked up those little pieced of paper off of the floor...sooo, I figurd you must want to KEEP the paper..."
Abigail, recognizing sarcasm when she hears it, got up off the couch and went into the bedroom in question, Anna followed behind..."
There it was...two tiny pieced of paper and a plastic bag on the other side of the bed, slightly under the bed to be exact...." Abigail got down on the floor to pick up the paper, but more accurately it was easier for her to laugh whilest sitting on the floor.
Abigail asked Anna, after the laughter had died down, why she hadnt picked up the paper when she saw it the second time, afterall, it was obvious Abigail hadnt seen it...Anna said it was to make a point...A point that Abigail probably would have NEVER gotten.
There was a pause and Anna said, " And there's the empty waterbottle on your bedside table!" ( As though they had been discussing the empty ( trashy) waterbottle for an hour already...when in reality this moment was the first Abigail had thought of the water bottle....ever. And it was the fifty-millioneth moment Anna had thought of it.)
Buuuut, this time Abigail had learned her lesson, she knew that this was a notsosubtle hit and she promptly picked up the water bottle and put it in the pastic bag.
The moral of the story...
Oh whatever, its just funny.

said in a whiny voice
I dont feel good. Do you think its because I've only eaten pizza for the past four days? Nooooooooooo. That couldnt be it.
I really really dont feel good...my tummy hurts and I have a headache, I dont want to be at work, what I reeeally want is to be in bed with a good movie on...not moving.
THAT'S what I want.
Edit: I think my tummy hurts BECAUSE of the headache...which, according to my Doctors, is because of the weather.
oh. whatever.

Girl Talk
So, when I want to talk to my friends in NZ I usually go and sit in the back of my mother's car.....my parents go to bed very early and I am usually able to talk to people from around 9PM to around 10PM. So sitting in the back of a car allows me to laugh and talk as loud as I want- BUT, its getting hot out there, people! Seriously, sad to say...the texas heat is starting to hit hard. I almost broke out in a sweat and had to open the car door to let a little air in. consequently I got bug bits. BOO!
All for a worthy cause.
I have a busy mind people. I know you may not think it...and when I look over some of my blog posts I start to doubt my mental capablities too....but its true, I think a lot. And sometimes I have to cut back on all those "what if" conversations I have with myself. I think they are getting a little out of hand: So, I am not getting married anytime soon. I dont see any great job possiblities in the near future. I dont have any new hobbies I want to take up. I dont think I a will be moving from this particular dot on the map any time now.
So why worry about ANY of the above things ( or lack of)? *sigh*

speaking of Bloom...
I just watched the end of the Lord of the Rings....as you may have remembered, I started watching all the movies over again and I just now finished. *sigh*
I always always ALWAYS cry when Aragorn says to the hobbits " You bow to no one." and then everyone bows. meeeeeh! SOOOOOOO sweet!!!
Such wonderful movies.
Wow, I slept well last night. I was SO tired! I guess having a full day of backtoback jobs was a little much ;-) But, I slept in until 9 this morning and now I am sitting in my bed listening to the credits of RTotK:EE singing to me in the background....
