the fantastic evening of bubbles and chickey

this blog here unfolds the adventures of bubbles(holly) and chickey(me) for the evening of june 29, 2006. after a delightful meal of pork chops and some organizing on holly count we set off to deliver parking passes to people in need of them for the fundraiser next week. after marking out our destinations on a map and figuring out the best route to take we set out in clifford, the big red car. now i must say herbert(hurby the love intrepid) was a bit jealous. we started at dan shea's, open door-is anyone home? why is the door open if no one is here? oh hi...ooops there's a curb there. not to self don't look for note pad while driving. so we arrived at the miller's and their dog was barking at the door. dick called the dog and it sounded like he said holly-how did he know we were there? was the dog named holly? no...and no... the dog is named molly. at naomi's where is #800?...speed bumps :P yuck. bummer a one way circle, oh there she is!! hanging out with the neighbors. at the bovenmeyer's lots of cars but no one home. they're my aunt and uncle's neighbors. need to get pass to bo peng. no idea where he lives...is peng his last name? PLAN! beg neva to deliver it...YEAH for sweet friends!! almost lose paper again. swerving action while trying to save it. airport road is fun!! field of dreams sign-watch movie. problems finding tritecks. car in drive but no one home, drop off and proceed. 9:20-we ate 3 hours ago and we are hungry again...what is with us hickory park smells good :(...oh la fuente and salvation army...PRAISE GOD no trains. race two ladies in a white boat-we win! saw tepley's concert invite exiting, couldn't make it. desired-oats/ice cream and el azteca chips and salsa/cheese dip. ooopss..16th not 24th backtrack...mmmmmm more good smells. lights but no one home? what is with these people?:) needed-gun to kill rabbit-rocks not working. what does intrepid mean? "i'm a piranha" *snap snap of teeth* "i live in the amazon" still hungry. clifford has covered ames well. can still see strangers. woot woot. clifford purrs in delight. union drive needs to allow right on red. it's been a min. not that we're in a hurry. 2 min later we go. lincoln way=speeders. ash=danger. cars in middle of road. clifford is the BIG RED CAR he needs his space. borseths and johnsons are neighbors-sweet!! why is no one here? pastors conference. too much comentary not enough paper..hope hunt street understands...FOUND notepad...it ripped...ummm..that house. saw nick holly was harassed for knocking. 20 min to get oats/ice cream and return to bali...we're set. so this is a combined commentary so you can have fun figuring out who contributed what:)

well....

so basically i've decided that my family is crazy. tonight was my cousin's baby's first birthday so there was a party for him. it was at my aunt and uncle's house here in ames and there was just a bunch of us sitting around and talking after some other people had left. our topics of conversation golfing and picking up rocks. i grew up on a farm and we have quite a nice collection of rocks that have come from our field. and by rocks i mean rock/ small boulder or at least rocks that require a lot of digging up and a tractor. my family also likes to joke around a lot so suggestions for deciding which rocks to pick up without having to spend forever doing it was rocks that are at least the size of your head or rocks you can see from our house. and my dad and uncle were talking about past golf experiences and back in the day my uncle's air conditioner leaking into his car so he had a mini lake on the floor, but that was a better choice than my dad's car because his didn't have air and it had vinyl seats. ooooo and me and my pops are planning on going deer hunting for my birthday this year:) except for this time going first season in december so we can get nice bucks and then i could hang it in my dorm room...oooo and i might get to buy a shotgun:)
i had to work early today so i got to work at 6:45 left at 4:15 my body wasn't happy with me. i was making someone a mocha and i almost stuck the wand to steam the milk with into the cup with chocolate instead of the milk pitcher and i couldn't remember what i was doing half the time. i think that my mind/body is in denial of what time zone it lives in. but i did get to re-do the sign that sits in the hall (the front side anyway) so if you see it that was me and if it looks bad i'll just take no clam in to it...but anyway it was fun and it helped kill two hours in the afternoon. i need to finish my laundry though, and clean my room, and clean out my car, and sleep so i can get up early tomorrow to go to cedar rapids. but i am excited i got a pineapple for my breakfast and i got a starbucks gift card for doing some survey for this girl so i can get free caffeine too! yeah pineapple!! oooo note to self BUY FISHING LISCENSE!!

um...yeah

tonight is a night that kinda makes me feel like i am back in school. i'm eating mac and cheese out of my pan with the big spoon i used to make it (i really think it tastes better this way as opposed to a bowl/plate) my plant is in the window sill, and actually i am rather surprised that it is still alive i think i got it in february and i thought it would be dead by march to be completely honest. it is a quiet night which is nice, sadly i look out the window and see an apartment building instead of trees but that is ok, the top half of my window is filled with the beautiful black sky, so inviting that when it is filled with stars it is like you are being swept up into a big thick blanket where you are safe and no harm can fall on you. nights like these i long for the country, they make me miss home where it is free of street lights and the constant buzz of cars. where there aren't those noisy neighbors and those loud car stereos. there is just the blackness of the sky filled with the sound of the crickets and the wind blowing through the trees. these are some random facts that i have recently discovered or rediscovered about myself: i don't like watermelon, i can eat 12oz. of cottage cheese in one sitting, i don't like big cities, getting overheated make me feel sick, i like walking around campus at night, i don't like talking on the phone, organizing makes my head hurt, my car has issues...or something like that, staying up til 1 or 2 in the morning is great trying to wake up shortly thereafter isn't, i am easily entertained, i am very abusive towards my feet, i really like the color brown, i really don't like the color pink, i don't like steaming soy milk, i like iced lattes made with soy milk, smoothies when in large quantities are evil...or just no fun, i am also really good at staying up late for no real reason...so goodnight
