tanning preseason

Kirstin, your friend is right: tanning in 67 degree weather is totally doable. I proved this to be true yesterday. I laid out for about 3 hours (amidst looking for a job, so no one is thinking this is why i dont have one yet) joined some of the time by my fellow north idaho tanning partner, kedron. It was fabulous. We just needed to get ready for our florida trip. plus, it's quite therapeutic. And while yes, it is a little awkward standing in your yard wearing only your bathing suit while people walk past in jeans and t shirts, you just have to remember that they'll be the ones on the beach in may with the light reflecting off their white bodies, and you'll be the one with the "nice bronze glow".
I have included this pic mostly for you liz... and for our fear of tan lines. pay special attention to the rollerblader.

Easter Dresses

Remember easter dresses? I couldn't find any of my own annual easter photos, so I creepily found this little girl on google images. But i think she's pretty indicative of what i looked like: fancy shoes (with some type of heal that i'd clank around the bathroom with cause i liked the sound), white tights, some type of over-the-top frilly disaster of a dress, the matching purse, cardigan (maybe the only practical item of the whole get-up), lacy gloves of some kind, and a hat to top it all off. As i got older, i might have decided to lose an accessorie or two, (or six), but still loved the tradition of getting an "easter dress" every year. I think it had something to do with my mom. because later on in life i still tried to pull off a new "easter outfit" with my dad, and it just didnt seem to fly as easily.

this year... i'm not even trying it on adam because we're having a weekend of family portraits in the jean/white shirt uniform. but next year, i might try to bring it back...


and incase you were curious, i'm pretty sure my brothers wore little matching suits most years, until they were old enough to put their foot down.

sunburn?

I had a good week last week. It was a nice break from my normal week of job searching-cleaning-workout-slowness. Carla (Adam's mom) was in town. we did lots of fun, just hang-out stuff. Saw lots of movies, had lots of starbucks, and lots of good food. The week ended with fantastic weather, sad goodbyes, and some fishing, sunburn (!), and arrested developement. Wish i had pictures to post, but we can't find our camera cord; or I should say I can't find the camera cord-in case adam reads this.


now just holding out until next weekend.... less than 5 stinkin days!

Where can a girl get a 16oz. iced coconut coffee with cream and sugar around here?

...this is the heartbreaking news I received when trying to find the nearest dunkin donuts. I already knew there weren't any in coeur d'alene, but was hoping for something like "Spokane, WA . 25 miles" or something of that nature. But nope. None close enough to even be worth mentioning. I am fortunate that they have a million Starbucks around here, but unless I have a gift card, or Keje, I hesitate a lot more to go there. But lately I've had one of those two things, and now am going through coffee withdraw. Oh, Idaho.

heart or head?

I know everyone keeps talking about the economy, but that's just because the impact of it hits almost everyone, everyday. looking for a job in this economic climate is just plain hard.
My dilemma these days has been whether to "follow my heart" (look for a job that's something i really want to do), or "follow my head" (accept a job, that'll always only be a job to me. not exciting, but relieving). Would I be taking a step out in faith to wait, or am i being selfish for not using what's right in front of me? It's scary thinking about passing up one "ok" opportunity, to wait and hope a better one comes along. Am I being ambitious? Or irresponsible?

Sometimes growing up stinks.
