You Are Aurora! (A.K.A. Sleeping Beauty.)

Thoughtful and loving. Authority figures probably have been sheltering you all of your life. Thankfully you're a very tranquil person who is content with what life has given you, but secretly you want to know how the outside world works.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Homeless & Carless

So, I went to Disneyland Friday and Saturday and had a blast. I drove out with my friends, but flew home to make it home in time for my lesson at church. I was running on 3 hours of sleep, trying to catch up on my sleep, when halfway through the flight I thought, "Where are my keys? I don't remember seeing them in my bag." I searched frantically to make sure I didn't have them, and I couldn't spot them anywhere. I called my landlord, but couldn't get a hold of him. I had everything I needed but church clothes. I called my sister, couldn't get a hold of her. I called her husband and asked him, "Can I borrow some of Syd's clothes and maybe a car?" So, I borrow clothes and a car from my ever-giving sister and what do I do? I ruin the shirt she lends me with my object lesson (bleach). YIKES! I'll have my keys and my life back tomorrow...I hope.

Real American Stories

I was watching the news the other day when a commercial came on about how wonderful it is to live in America. It gave a website so I decided to check it out. It is WAY COOL! It is called Real American Stories, and it has Americans sharing their stories about how much they love being an American. It reminded me of how blessed I am to be a citizen of the United States of America and how grateful I am to have the freedoms and the protected rights that I have. Check it out, it's AwEsOmE!!

Exciting Day

Today I woke up at around 10:00 and just lounged around the house until 11:30 when my cousin called to tell me she was on her way to go swimming with me. I love the summer. I called my sister to come join us. We had a good old time and laughed tons. After my cousin left, my sis and I decided to go to lunch at Subway. So far the day hasn't been very exciting, but keep reading...So we were in line at Subway and Sydney was paying for her food, and she started to stumble backwards. It looked like she had dropped some change and when she went to pick it up she had lost her balance. She just kept falling backwards towards me and wasn't doing anything to catch herself. I think I even said, "Sydney!" reprimanding her, thinking that she was playing a trick. Then when she was laying there on the floor not responding I realized she had passed out. It was kind of scary, but not any more because she is fine. We have had a few good chuckles at her expense. She was only out for a couple of seconds. I called 911, I think she was mad at me for that, and was very impressed with their promptness. They took her vitals and told her she would be fine, that she just needed to eat some food and drink some water. She was just dehydrated because she had gone swimming at the gym and then came swimming with us and hadn't drunk any water or eaten any food.The best part was they said she couldn't drive so I got to drive her new truck. One of the paramedics helping and asking questions was cute and single:) (I think.) Too bad I looked awful...we had come straight from swimming and I had boob marks on my T-Shirt from my wet swimsuit. Typical bad luck!

Lesson: Drink plenty of water when you go swimming!

27th Birthday

I turned 27 last Monday, and I didn't want to do it. But, I went to Disneyland for the weekend and that softened the blow. Here are some of my favorite pics!

My favorite ride: Heimlich's Chew Chew Train and my favorite treat, a Mickey Mouse Ice cream. The stick broke off so I had quite the task to eat it!


Every time I would hear the "Unbirthday Song" when I was at home I would get so depressed because it reminded me of Disneyland and the Tea Cups, so that ride was a must!



My boyfriend, he "looked into the eye" on Indiana Jones. And my friend and me on our last tram ride as we went to Lost and Found to find her phone, which also "looked into the eye" and got left behind...

More Twilight...The Movie!

Here are a couple of links for Twilight (the movie) if you are a Twilight fan. And if you're not check it out!

Behind the Scenes
Trailer

I wasn't crazy about their casting for Edward, I am a die-hard Henry Cavill supporter, but I guess Robert Pattinson will do, especially when he smiles at the end of the trailer...yummy!

Henry Cavill

A Classic Revisited

"You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!" - Vizzini, The Princess Bride

For Christmas my sister gave me "The Princes Bride." It is a childhood favorite, but I hadn't been able to watch it until today. And I was reminded of the quote above. I forgot what a great movie it is! How can you beat ROUS's (Rodents of Unusual Size)? I was looking online for some pictures for this post and I came across a slideshow of the main players twenty years later. I can't believe it is over 20 years old! Oh, that I could find my own Westley...

Blind Date Gone Missing?

So I had a blind date in a big group on Friday night. We went up to a canyon nearby to watch a movie in the desert and eat tinfoil dinners. We arrived and had some problems with permits and the rangers issued some warnings. I was standing talking with my sister, her husband, and our friend and the next thing I know my date was driving off. Not a word to me about where he was going. I heard from someone that he was taking some people to their site, one of the guys was on crutches. Almost two hours later, he still hadn't come back so I decided to go home with my sister. I found out later that he had taken so long because he was pulling up a tree for fire wood. The hostess mentioned she had called him, and he said, "Yeah, I saw that you had called, but I was busy with the tree." What? He was stopped by the rangers and had to show them where he got the tree. What a night...

Random Journal Entry

I have been reading my journals the last couple of days and I came across the following entry that had me chuckling. Here it is:

"While Liz and I were waiting in the parking lot or our friend's apartment for him to return we witnessed the most bizarre goodnight scene. The scene was in a neighboring apartment. The girl and the guy hugged for quite awhile and then they pecked, then pecked again a few seconds later and then repeated, then they pecked numerous times rapidly and that's not so odd, except that it was a whole head action separation, not just lip separation. Then just as suddenly they split and went totally different directions. She went into the kitchen and he left. Then he came outside and went and looked in the window, then went back to the door and knocked. She answered and walked him to his car. It was so random!"

Liz and I laughed and laughed about it at the time. I'm still laughing about it...
