One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
I have just come to the conclusion that I'm a little crazy. Okay, I'll give you a moment to nod your heads in agreement or cheer at my revelation...
Really though, I do tend to be a bit on the dramatic side. I'm dramatic, I'm overly invested and involved. I talk fast, type fast, walk fast. I go from tears to smiles and back again in an instant.
I also share much more personal information with people than I should. If you're reading this blog then you might agree with this assessment. Not sure why that is, sometimes it just comes out of my mouth. Perhaps it has something to do with me wanting to be a part of everything.
I wanted to say THANK YOU! Thank you for tolerating me, loving me, sharing with me. Thank you for being who you are, reading here, and deciding that I am important enough to be a part of your lives.

Spring
One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
In traveling to Alaska I remembered a time when I used to read about an Alaskan mom... Scribbit. So, finding her page again I also found the 'write-away contests' http://scribbit.blogspot.com/2009/05/mays-write-away-contest-just-for-you.html
I really don't have that much of an interest in a Wii baseball prize, but I did think that Spring was a good thing to write about...
I remember the very first time I knew spring. For most people this age would be around 5 or 6 years old but for me, from sunny southern california, I experienced my first spring at 18 years old. That was the first time I remember going from a winter, where tank-tops just didn't work, to a spring where the sun came out. I remember getting up from my dorm room bunk that morning and feeling hot snuggled up in my comforter and blankets. I remember looking out the window and seeing a few tufts of grass on the formerly white lawn. I remember thinking how impossible it was going to be to find my tank-tops amid all the coats.
Walking outside I saw things I hadn't seen before. Girls in bikini's sitting on the concrete, men without shirts throwing around a frisbee...I thought they had all gone mad. It was still under 60 degrees, and impossibly cold to me. That, however, was the first moment that I recognized Spring.
Each week it got warmer and warmer, and I remember being so happy when the last of the snow fell away...

Lots of Random Thoughts
One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
This week has been very trying with everything going on... I really hope that Grey's Anatomy is as good as everyone said it is, that's what I'm doing at Lunch today... Is it easier to be a Christian? Not just in America, but everywhere?...Matt is going down to 'war' by the Mexican American border, I'm trying hard not to freak out to much... Anyone know the weather in Alaska at the start of June?...What do people like to eat at a potluck? My tuna/tomatoes did not go over very well...Is there something wrong with having an honest conversation about how everyone can improve conversations?... My sister gets married in less than 10 days, we're almost at less than a week... Is it odd that I cry a little when I think about her changing her name... There was a man on campus yesterday who was carrying around a paintball rifle, though the text message alerts at the beginning noted that SWAT had been called out... The trees outside my office window make me really happy... If they don't show up at Disneyland on Wednesday I might have a panic attack... I finally made really good biscuits for breakfast one morning, but I still think the brownies out of the box were a better treat... Mimi's new Strawberry Lemonade Sparkling Wine drink is really good!... I'm jealous of the fact that other schools are already out for the summer... Anyone else want to travel to London with me?

Stuck in Wedding Crazy, but on a slight job down moment
One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
My sisters bachelorette party was last weekend. I have to say that I am eternally thankful that things went well. It started off a bit rocky with an extremely busy and challenging work week, but things finally got rolling when my cellphone died at the airport picking up Becca's friends.
The house we rented ended up being Awesome! I would totally recommend vacationrentals.com to just about anyone, since that's where we got the house from. It was a bit far from the wineries, but totally cute and cheap.
Friday night consisted of drinking (read 5 bottles of vodka, 4 bottles of wine for 9 girls), chatting (lots of new friends) and playing games (10 fingers and Dirty Words). We all stayed up until about 1am before finally turning in.
Saturday went perfectly, with the limo arriving at 10:50, complete with a cute driver. All of the wineries were great, and we started off things with Briar Rose. Probably my least favorite, but that was because we were the only ones there. Then off to lunch and wine at Keyways, which was at the cutest little table out on the patio. Lunch was great, and the wines were wonderful. Anyone want to buy me some Ice wine? Then we went to Leonese, where our driver went out and picked up some yummy hot brie/garlic bread. We polished that off with another 7 or 8 tastings. By the end of it, we were all wiped, and fairly drunk (read 6 glasses of wine!).
Saturday afternoon we napped, and showered, then some girls made this wonderful pasta dinner. We got all dolled up and went out on the town. Three bars later we were dancing at Club Eleven. We stayed out until almost 2am. For some reason cute boys really wanted to dance with me on my crutches, fun to say the least. Then back to the house for snacking and wonderful Mac N-Cheese. Yummy!
Sunday was quite quick, with basically good byes, some random moving of food, and me driving girls to the airports. Luckily things worked out okay, and I ended up at work that afternoon fine.
Some things were really funny. I found myself looking at my beautiful sister with tears in my eyes...that soon she would be a Wong, no longer a B--kser. Especially when someone commented on us as sisters. There were times when I just had to look away, but I know part of that is because she was so happy, and I'm so happy that she had a good weekend.
It was also mother's day, and although I didn't get to the Miller event, M@ did drop off flowers to my mom! He is an amazing man.
