like a pickle on the windshield....

there are times when things happen in your life that you can 1) get angry, mad and upset or 2) find the humour in the situation and have a really good, loud, tears running down your cheeks laugh...

the other day i was coming out of work.... it hadn't been a great day.. lots to do, no time to do it in.. just stressful and hectic. i always park on the side of the building and this day had been no exception. i come out to my car, unlock the door, get in.. put my bag down... put the keys in the ignition.. got a cd out, found my sunglasses..... then i looked up.
right smack in the middle of my windshield was a big smear of ketchup and mustard, and the biggest pickle i've ever seen..... baked on from the sun all day. here's where i had my choice. angry at the kids from fhs who forgot to order "no pickles" when they went to burger king for lunch and just carelessly flung the unwanted pickle straight at my car ... or just laugh.. needless to say i laughed really good for about 5 mintues, then went to the carwash... :)

fall foliage day

remember back in the days when we were at ABU and we used to have fall foliage day? i loved that day sooo much... nothin like walkin thru the woods on a cool crisp fall day.. just lookin at leaves and the beautiful colours of fall... of course we always went someplace different every year, and no one ever really knew where we were, but it was just so beautiful and dr. mantz would always do his little talks and we would pray as a group, and it was just so awesome.
mom and i had our own little fall foliage day here in mcadam.. just walkin around the nature trail and just talking and having a good time... enjoying nature, and i realized that there's so much that i take for granted right here in this little town. i've lived most of my life here, and when i graduated i couldn't wait to get out of here and get living my life. i love that i'm back here now and i'm gonna enjoy every minute i'm here, and not take this beautiful place for granted...

watchin paint dry...
