I tied our girls high school record for most 3-pointers made in a game.  6.  6 3-pointers in a game.  I still remember that game – it was an away game.  They were just flying into the hoop, swish, swish, swish, one right after the next.  Everyone on our bench was getting crazy, getting so excited!!!

Then the coach took me out cause we were winning by too much.  Lame.  I could have broke the record.

Ants are gross.  All of last night and today I kept feeling like ants were crawling on me!  Yesterday, after work, I went to take out the trash.  One of the trash can handles were covered…COVERED…in ants.  It was so nasty!!  I think they were going after the cupcakes.  The other handle also had ants on it, but less.  I contemplated trying to drag the trash can out with just that one handle, but seeing all those ants really grossed me out.  So I went and got a napkin and put it on the right handle  (with less ants) and dragged the trash can out.  I checked my hands to make sure I had no ants on me.  Whew! Safe!

Then I went to use the restroom – then I saw an ant in the restroom!! :(  That means it was ON me!  So then I felt itchy all night long and kept feeling like ants were biting me.  I showered and that was that.

Today.  Today I was doing my own thing at work.  I felt something crawling on my face on my hair.  Then on my face.  It was an ANT!!!!!!!!!!!! I smashed an ant on my face at work.  SICK.  That is so gross.  There must be some ants on my clothes that I was wearing to take the trash out.  So disgusting.  So now, I still feel ants crawling all over me.  :(

I should have done what I was going to do – which was bring the bottle of all-purpose cleaner out and spray down the handles of the trash can before I touched it.

So GROSS.  I hope I don’t find any more ants on myself or in my room or at work or anywhere near me! :(

Let’s try something new with this blog here…

I am right-handed but I play cards left-handed and also like to open jars/bottles left-handed (although sometimes my left hand isn’t strong enough).

I’d like to know why people do things even though they are afraid. I think there are two reasons…maybe only one. There is definitely one big reason even if it may not be apparent. People do things they are afraid of because there is something good that will come out of it or something they desire to come out of it.

Roller coasters or scary haunted houses for halloween. People enjoy the thrill of being scared. I like roller coasters. Am I scared? Yeah I get a little scared when we are chilling at the top not moving for a few seconds – and then the rush – that feels good.

Challenge course log. I stood up on that log 30 feet off the ground for about 15 minutes. I was soooo scared. What was I scared of? Falling? Was it even that? I was more scared that if I let go and took a few steps out, that if I started walking, I couldn’t stop and turn around – I had to go. So I hung on for dear life for 15 minutes and I almost gave up. I almost really just decided to come down. But I didn’t. I was SO scared. But, I wanted to do it because coming down would be weaksauce. Coming down would mean that I couldn’t do it – fear of failure. My fear of failing, of being dissatisfied was motivating enough for me to cross that log. Ha, fear driving fear, what a concept.

I like the term “Taking the Plunge” because I feel like so often people are scared about certain things but they still do it. They are afraid of falling yet they jump right in. Obviously there is a motivator. I mean c’mon, people are scared of making decisions in life every single day – but you gotta do it. Just go! Just jump right in – whatever happens happens right? How many times have you heard that?

I guess what I’m trying to differentiate is the difference between the kind of fear that actually stops you in your track versus the kind you’re willing to just dive right into. If that fear is big enough it will stop you – but inside you secretly want to succeed – you want it – but the fear is overpowering.

Eh..incomplete thoughts.

On long drives home, I always feel super nostalgic. Is that the right word I’m looking for? Maybe.

I start thinking about all kinds of old things. Things that happened in the past, places I went, adventures I had, good things and bad. I think about old friends, I think about family, I think about high school, I think about my state of mind at certain points in life.

I think about now. I think about how crazy life is and how fast it changes. I think about people.

I think about this past year. I think about next year. I think about now.

I can’t believe another year is almost over. Wow. I think this year has been the most fast paced. It’s been filled with so much. It’s been filled.

I like listening to music – to songs I used to listen to. It brings me back to a time – a different time.

Hard to describe.

This is a mumble jumble post.

Often times, I feel like I should blog or want to but can’t think of anything to write about.  Sometimes I do think of things I want to blog about but the time isn’t right.  So, in order to give this blog a little boost, I’ve decided to let people suggest topics I should write about.

If you have a suggestion, leave it in the comments, email me, or find some way to let me know. :)

Thoughts of Late

• You’ve become jaded.
• When there is someone to blame, blame will be served.
• I miss the old days.
• I need rest, the biblical kind.
• The absence of structure is chaos.

There have been A LOT of earthquakes around the world lately.  Does that scare you?

Busy bee Busy bee..when do I have time to write…or to rest for that matter…

We’re going to be running on 2 weeks of high stressssssssssssss! Weeee!

Most people at work are used to shutting the lights off as they leave the bathroom.  I do this too.  Save energy.  Besides, it’s not like there are THAT many people that use the women’s restroom anyway.

Today, I was using the restroom in the last stall (the large one of course) and someone was using the stall next to me.  They were done, they left, and they shut off the lights.  My yells of HELLO…failed.  So, it was pitch black.  And my eyes adjust slowly.  So it was horrible because I couldn’t see jack.  Good thing, I was done anyway.  I was trying to flush the toilet and managed to do so.  But then I couldn’t find the door out of the stall.  I stuck my arms out trying to find the door and realized I was facing the completely wrong way as I was by the wall not the door.  Finally I made my way to the door and went out.  I still couldn’t see anything.  You see, the restroom is not that big, so it’s not like there is a a lot of space to move around.  I could see the crack to the light outside but the path from the stall to the door is not straight.  I stumbled around to try to not crash into the sinks and I managed to crash into the trashcan and the wall before I found the lights so I could wash my hands.

It was so not fun.  Darkness.  But slightly amusing.  It would have been amusing to watch if you had some night vision ability.
