my scramblings & ramblings
When forced to choose between the devil you know and the devil you don’t, looks like more people prefer the devil they know.
Rob said it best last night when he said everything he came to on the ballot presented a moral dilemna for him. I must say I agree wholeheartedly. This person says abortion is okay, that person says killing millions of people in a war is okay. Who do I choose when presented with those kinds of choices?

I stood in line for 90 minutes this morning to cast my ballot. And now, it’s done. We’ll find out who our new president is tomorrow.
Small group was kind of intense tonight. We did some serious praying. Kelly P prayed for me, and her words were so beautiful that I was in tears within seconds. Kim wrapped her arms around me. I feel so yummy around those people. I love talking to them and sharing with them and being around them. And.. ROB showed up! That was a treat. I never see Rob and he’s so cool. Craig bought pizzas. His Dominoes was doing a special for tonight. $3.99 pizzas, unlimited. He hooked us up. I took cookies and M&Ms. Yummm.
I need a full blown Kelly P (who looks very cute with her new haircut) fix soon.
After group, we hung out and chatted. Good times. Interesting conversations. VERY interesting. Talks ranged from prostitution in Vegas, falling asleep randomly, and the proper way to stab someone to the election (UGH), jobs, Tami’s NEED for meat, and at some point, Chris decided to recite the whole “pilot” alphabet. alpha, beta, charlie…. Weird. I was disturbed about Tyler saying he used to read Cosmo for the sex tips. See, he’s a guy. Aren’t the sex tips in those books meant to please MEN?
I know he was kidding. But it was great ammo to tease him with.
I lost my cell phone! 🙁 akljfalfjdkfa. I think it’s in Garth’s couch. I heard that’s a BAD place for it. 🙁 I have to get over there and get it out, and soon. Of course, I put the dang thing on vibrate before I lost it, so I couldn’t call it to locate it. BOO. Hopefully I’ll find it soon.
Rob gave me his box of Mentos freshmints or whatever they’re called. They are yummy! 🙂
A few of us went to Craig’s after for an “election party.” We are such dorks. Craig ordered MORE pizza and Tami demanded chicken. So I made her chicken nugget thingys. Then she fell asleep on Craig’s loveseat. I wonder if she’s still there? Rob was cracking me up the whole time. My favorite quote from him tonight was: “I am calling Hell and confirming your reservation.” Favorite quote from Tami: “I like whiskey.” From Garth: “Y’all suck at leaving.”
So, you’re probably thinking “What kind of a Christian small group is this?” Mmm. All I can say is that we’re just normal people. But not so much. We like to act stupid and be sarcastic and tease each other. But then we have each other’s backs all the way. If one of us is sad, someone is going to be there for the other. Hugs, prayers, serious LOVIN’ ON. If something happy happens, then everyone celebrates. We share interests. We share our worries, our lives, ourselves. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

What a weird week. I’m not the only one complaining about it, either. So many of us are like “wha…?”
Church was today. I got up and made it to Sunday school. Good for me. Then there was service. Emily yoimemily was there. I was hoping she’d be there. She’s so fun. She sat by me. 🙂 WOOHOO! I got lots of compliments on my sweater. 😀
After service, I asked Tony to take a pic of Bizzy otaku_witch and me together.
I adore her new haircut.
THEN, I got a hug from Mr. Matt. Those of you who know him realize this is huge stuff. But it happened.
After church, a bunch of us went to lunch at BW… well, it’s not BW3 anymore. Well, whatever. We ate there. Jen H was given the new name of “The Bomb Diddley” by Joshua, and Theresa was given the name “Dude” by Steve. Good times. I ran my errands afterwards and also went a little quite a bit crazy in Barnes & Noble. Bought all three Aria CDs (the guy took so much time looking for 1 & 2 that I’d have felt bad if I hadn’t bought them), and the Wanda Sykes book. It is HILARIOUS already. Then we took Aidan trick or treating in Craig’s neighborhood, then I came here and burned CDs for my mommy in law.
Ok, so it doesn’t sound so weird when it’s written. But I assure you, today was not normal. Not in my heart.

My Happy Hour at Origins was fun. Everyone should try to win one! Since I was the only one who showed up, I got all the special treatment. First, I cleansed my face with some neat products. Then I got a makeover! She also gave me a hand massage. There were cookies and tea, and I got a bag full of free samples. Anything I wanted! The girls were all complimenting me on how young I looked and how pretty my skin was/is. It was a great time. I was relaxed and happy and pampered. Oh, if only that were my life.
My errands of the day are done! Here’s the list:
[x] Chiropractor
[x] Ziebert to get new rear view mirror
[x] Fill up gas tank
[x] Oil change
[x] Car wash
I’m so proud of myself. And my car is all shiny and pretty now. I got the GOOD car wash, with the wax and stuff. Just biding time til I get the bomb detail job.

I spent the evening with Kelle Belle and her precious daughter Ari. That was fun. She said she’s never going shopping with me again because I am a bad influence. All because I told her to smell the Alfred Sung Shi perfume and she liked it so much she bought some for herself. I can’t wait to hang out with her again. 🙂
She’s gonna hate me. But she looks so cute, and I look like such a dork, so it’s great.
OH! As promised! Pictures of Aidan in his Halloween costume!
And for those of you asking what I got at Prada:
Yup, yup. And so on and so forth. Hey, all you local gals!! I have a Happy Hour thingy tomorrow at Origins at Easton at 2pm. PLEASE join me. It’s free and supposed to be totally cool. So please come if you’d like. Just say you’re with me. 🙂
Alrighty then. I’m going to go and answer some emails and other stuff. Maybe print out some stuff because ya know, I have this sweet printer now. Later!
