Funny traffic quote

Painted on a work truck passing me in the right lane, it read, "American Drilling- Your hole is our goal"

Crass? I think so. Funny? I also think so.

peer pressure!

So I got my own myspace dealie. Not because I wanted my own page but because I wanted to click on my friend's stuff and it wouldn't let me. But in case you want to see mypage g'head.

Lacy is the souce of all memes

(this came from her blog, I took a few categories out because I ran out of clever things to say)

20 years ago I... (1985)
1. was still living on Oxford Dr., behind the old promanade theater that is no more, where I got my life's only real beating, by the neighbor's gradnson in plastic knight-armor.
2. crawled under my bed and got my hair stuck, but was too afraid to call for help so I ripped a bunch of it out to set me free.
3. feared our baby sitter, though she made good tuna salad and had us wear sparkly bibs for snacks.

10 years ago I... (1995)
1. was just beginning to form my own style, which no one else liked but me.
2. It was the last year my hair was in it's natural state.
3. visited a marijuna/heroin/bunny farm with my dad. Good times with Phil.

5 years ago I... (2000)
1. Moved to CA and shared a 2bedroom/1bathroom apartment with 6 other men.
2. Could not have had a worse boyfriend.
3. Started attending Graceland church in Santa Cruz.

1 year ago I... (2004)
1. Graduated from San Jose State
2. Got engaged and married.
3. Bought a house by proxy, with Kevin.

Last week I...
1. Was inducted into the creative group at church with older smarter people.
2. Picked out pretty plants to go along our picket fence.
3. Stressed over my easter performance, see blog entry.

Today I...
1. Went to work with wet hair once again.
2. Did most of this meme at work with a pencil and scratch paper
3. Can't stop eating Kevin's jellybeans, even though they make me sick (chew chew chew)

Tomorrow I will...
1. Go to the intimidating creative group meeting.
2. Wait for the plumber for the 4th time in 2 weeks.
3. Go to Bible Study

In the next year I will...
1. birth a baby (God willing).
2. Quit my job that I've had since 2001.
3. Enjoy a second toilet in our house! (we're having another bathroom built!)

Hmm, that was a dumb one to end on...oh well.

Similar yes? Kevin on honeymoon

things my nightmares are made of

I thought I'd share a few images I spend my waking moments preventing from coming true.

Umm, confused, but still fearful. 

doesn't this woman seem too old to give birth? This is my fear of looking frumpy/old. 

This is number one in my mind. Mark my words, this will not be me. 

itty bitty post

Thank you all who have already commented. :)
Yes, the painting went well, very well actually. I made lots of people cry and many others were impressed at how fast I did it.
I kinda "hid out" because I'm so bad at taking compliments. (these weren't just 'good job!' compliments, they were like heartfelt long ones, I didn't know what to say!)
If I can figure out how to do it, when I get a tape of it, I will try to put a link on my blog so you guys can watch it.

Happy Easter!

In honor of the most important holiday of the year, and also since I have installed a counter on my blog, I have decided to allow free commenting for all for today and tomorrow.
So to all of those who visit my blog (which is so nice of you!) You should comment/say-howdy on this post, even if it's a dumb comment.
you know you want to!

This is what I'm doing today, making test paintings for tomorrow. Here's the first one. (I'm painting live during easter services tomorrow-- pressure! I have to do four and each time i have to do it in under 4 minutes, it's like my own reality show) 

yay! makes me happy!

In addition to Duvall from the Smoking Popes, mr korn bass player guy, the lead guy from Superdrag, John Davis, has committed his life to Christ too! Hooray!

again, thanks to Bennett

if you've ever been in a 'small group', you'll think this is funny.
The clips at the bottom are pretty funny too. Like it says, they made them to show what people's preconceived ideas about Jesus are. (although I think it becomes more like Mystery Science Theater 3000 digs up an incredibly cheezy jesus-movie)

food processing

I left work at about fifteen past food-time, had to run an errand, and was soon becoming quite a hungry hippo in need of some white marbles.
Carl's Jr was all around me, everywhere I drove! Tempting me with fries and splendidly greasy burgers! But I resisted for the usual reasons: I don't need to spend that money and I shouldn't eat that kind of food. Why should I not eat that food? Fries have no nutritional value, neither do buns or condiments. Really all I'm getting is protein and empty carbs. (stick with me this isn't a rant about fast food)
So I come home and what do I make myself for lunch? Pasta with sausage! It felt more fancy because it was pesto and italian sausage with bow-ties, but it was basicaly the same bricks in the food pyramid.
*shaking head* Good thing I'm taking vitamins....it's pie time!

Important: please note.

This does *not* make me a navy stroller, leggings with reeboks, performance fleece mommy that take her babies to Gymboree. Ok, whew, there I feel better.

see post for explanation 

ok, clearly a gamble

I was at Mervyns today, trying to find maternity clothes that *don't* make me look like a cow, and I happened upon the baby clothes section. Everything was 40% off in the store, mind you. So I found a couple of gender neutral items (fish, cowboys, ok they were boys clothes but cute enough for a girl) and then I saw the polka dot dress. Obviously, not gender neutral. But I had to get it, because of my obession with polka dots and the weirdness of the green bows. So I have 90 days to return it. (I don't want to have to return it!)

healthcare, grrr

Achtung: Not an interesting post.

I would like to shout it from the mountain tops that healthcare is poop. I wanted to find an obstrician that:
1. A woman/mother
2. Practices by herself (not part of a doctor pool)

That's it, that's all I wanted. Okay, I didn't want to drive out of state either.
But it's impossible.
I settled for an office of two doctors , gee I hope it goes well.

Healthcare is also poop for other reasons, namely the insurance industry. I won't go into that. Just know it's bad.
