where did all my clothes go?

"SPONTANEOUS SUNDAY"

sometimes i have some really great ideas.

sometimes they come in the middle of the night so i scribble them down or type them in my phone

to make sure i remember them when i wake up.

memo from last night: "where did all my clothes go??"

^ as you can see, my clothes are not in this picture (which i TIME STAMPED as proof). usually they live next to me in bed, but yesterday i had time to do laundry and then put them in my closet.

apparently, while i slept, i started to miss them.

but oh well. the funny part of the story was when someone looked through my phone at church and found it among my notepad memos -- "where did all my clothes go??" -- nestled between my grocery list and my reminder to get my oil changed.

just kidding. that didn't really happen.

but if it did...that'd be funny.

in other news, i have two pairs of giant slippers (that look like

shoes -- one red pair and one blue one) that i REALLY can't find.

seriously. i just moved in like two months ago. how is it possible to be misplacing things already?

---------------------------------------------

p.s. i'm trying to play with the layout to make it cool / have our other blogs / etc but all of you are admins so if you want to change it or do something different, go for it.

p.s.s. if you title all your posts with "whatever your title is," it will be hard to look for them later (if you ever want to). so this week, i'm branching out. you can do it too if you want ( :

Saweeeet Saturday

This is supposed to be Jaime's day
But seeing as how she is again missing & her neglect usually is followed by my sense of responsibility, I am filling in :)

The last she talked to me, her day was going to be called 'Suck it Saturday,' where she would post her frustrations with people/things/situations/politics, then tell them to suck it.

I suggested she change it to 'Suck it up Saturday,' in which her posts showed her patience in overcoming her annoyances, as no one wants a Negative Nancy (*ahem* Jaime) in the bunch.

She then suggested it be 'Suck up Saturday,' in which she brown nosed & seeped over-the-top niceness in an effort to come off as positive. Classy :)

This was all in good fun of course, but don't be surprised if after Jaime takes over, 'Saweeeet Saturday' is short lived.

SO....*Drum roll*... Presenting 'Saweeeet Saturday'. One Day Only (probably)!!!

I came across an article in Time's Magazine; 50 Best Inventions of 2010. I was blown away with the innovation & absurdity of most of them. Crazy what we can do these days. Crazier that someone THOUGHT we could do it.

One of my favorites is the Elegs Exoskeleton. It's a robotic structure attached to a paraplegic person, allowing them to use the motion of their arms to direct the leg attachments below. Voila! Someone who never had a hope of walking before, now can. I know first hand how much it sucks not being able to walk. The hope of walking again is what keeps me going. Helping people have their dreams come true? Pretty freakin Saweeeet.

GAHHH!!! I just had my 4 other favorites typed out & pictured & they were accidentally deleted. 'Thank goodness for autosave'...Wait a second....Stupid autosave! Do you really have to save every 5 frackin seconds, therefore saving the deleted version?!?! Sigh...you all know I'm way too lazy to type it again, so you'll just have to click here to see the rest. I recommend the straddling bus, lighted power chord, meat fueled train, 3D Organ printer, spray on clothes, body powered devices... Heck I recommend them all.

I'm an extremely competitive person.

Too competitive.

It's gotten to the point that often, if I know I'll lose, I won't even try something...

and literally everything is a competition.

Most of the time people don't even know that I'm competing with them.

Then I just feel awkward and embarrassed when I "lose."

Which it's impossible to lose because not everything is actually a competition.

Does this even make sense?

Here's the deal.

Shoes.

Having more shoes than other people is a competition to me.

So is having more clothes.

So when my roommate got a package of new stuff she bought from Forever 21 today I was super grumpy.

BUT WHY?!?

she lets me borrow her clothes.

I just like to be better at everything.

And I've noticed that ever since I became this way, I've been much grumpier and colder to people.

How often do we get so carried away with trying to be the best that we don't remember to enjoy things?

Here's an example of someone who decided to compete rather than enjoy what he had.

He forgot to enjoy what he had because he decided to go to a team where he knew he'd get much further. not cool.

Because of this he sacrificed the support and respect of a ton people.

The moral of the story is:

Don't make everything a competition to get ahead. Compete when it's right, but spend the rest of your time enjoying what you have before it's gone.

tickle me thursday!

i love surprises (:
