presents

Thanks to all my family and friends for getting me almost everything I asked for on or after my birthday. Very sweet of you. I'm still hoping to go on a family hike though. I don't know if everyone is able to go because Mom has bad knees and James has a bad back. We do have a nice walking stick though and we can get a few more. There are several hikes I'd like to go on this summer. I'd like to hike Cascade Head,Multnomah Falls, Cape Disappointment,(James and I did that one last year)Neahkahnie Mountain, there are also lots of day hikes in Portland to go do.
It's going to be an awesome summer...

Funny

I thought I'd share something funny today. "I don't want to get bit by Scooby Doo" There was a missionary on my mission that used to do funny Ms. Swan impersonations. It was great.

Here are the children finalists on Dancing with the Stars. Brandon and Brittany are my favorite, they are dancing to Phantom of the Opera.

May 14...

Today is my birthday. I get to go to the Portland Art Museum with my Art class. We are going to the museum to look at paintings of people. (I love the museum) We are going to look at the different uses of media at the museum for our next project. We are to choose a photo of a person that includes their head, neck, and shoulders. I haven't decided who I'm going to do yet. (I think I'm going to my mom's house on Friday to look and rifle through her photos, maybe I'll be able to find something good. I hope I can find some good photos of myself.) I'm excited about this project.

James and I are celebrating my birthday on Thursday evening since I don't get home from school on Wednesdays until 10pm. I am in school all day and am very wiped out when I get home and usually fall asleep on the couch until 1am and then slink off to bed to lay there unconciously until 10am the next day. (sometimes I go back to sleep until noon... I like getting thirteen hours of sleep, I think that is why I look so much younger than my age, I get lots of sleep and don't have to wake up with little babies.) I love Thursdays, I sleep in, clean a little, do homework, and wear my pajamas all day... it's great. But this Thursday, I am going to primp, polish, and paint for my date with James. I'm looking forward to going out with him.

Today I got one of my birthday wishes... my acupuncturist, Gidon gave me an acupuncture treatment and then he gave me a wonderful massage. After that he did cupping on my back... I have never felt better and I've been wanting to get a massage for awhile. That is one of the reasons why I miss working at a Spa... free massages. I really like my acupuncturist, he is great. I thought Jen was the best, but she left and went to Indonesia for 6 weeks. I was sad, but I like Gidon.... he gives me extra treatments and is more thorough.

Today will be a busy day, but it will be a good day... we are supposed to get some lovely weather... in the 80's this week. My birthday usually is the start of great spring/summer fun!

For My Birthday

I would like...
To be with my family all day... (yes, this is going to happen!)
Go see a movie with my family... (I love movies, we're going to see this.)
I would also like these things:
A new bra. (by Victoria Secret)
Someone to come help me organize and clean my house with me.
Dirt for my garden box.
Wii
A treadmill
A bike with a cushy seat that doesn't hurt my bum.
A camera
To go on a hike
a vacation
Shoes that don't hurt my feet or insoles like these... I hear they're wonderful.

My friends and family to give me hugs and kisses...
and lots of love from James...(oh yeah...*whispering* and a baby!!!) So I know that isn't happening yet... how about a massage then? That would be wonderful....

Thanks.....

Bored?

Spiderman 3 was on today all evening and it was getting on my nerves so I came into the office to get away from the noise. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind watching movies like that, but it was certainly not something I wanted to watch last night. I have very sensitive hearing and I don't like the tv to be up loud at night (which it was). I found out that Masterpiece theater is airing Cranford and they have it online. It is in three parts. I've watched part 1 already.... you can too. Masterpiece Theater's Cranford
