Last week I was driving Lucy to the store to get some medicine and juice for her poor tummy ache.
(Lucy is the precious doll that I nanny)
About a block from the store this happened...
Lucy: "Haley?"
Me: "Yes Lucy love?"
Lucy: "Do you want to come live in my parade?"
Me: "Yes yes yes I would love to!"
What a lovely thought, to live in a 2 year old's idea of a parade. I would love to live in Lucy's imagination, I absolutely love the way she thinks and views things. She's just so precious to me.
On another lovely note, I adore the Lindsays in my life.
Lindsay Wright is my one true fetus friend. Well, she's going to be in Utah in a couple weeks and I just can't wait to see her and listen to her laugh because it's my favorite :)
Lindsay Chapman is my favorite redhead. Ever. Today she told me she was going to be in town this weekend and I almost passed out I was so happy. That's not even the best part...she might be moving here in September- greatest news ever!
I can't wait Lindsays, I can't wait.

anyone home?
So today I was driving home and thought to myself "I'll stop by the Wrights and see what they're up to." (The Wrights are basically my second family and they're some of the greatest funnest people)
When I pulled up to their house I knocked and rang the doorbell like 4 times and no answer, so I went back to my car to write a note. I then went back to the door, knocked some more and let myself in. I left the note on their kitchen counter along with some fresh vegetables, I grabbed a snack, went to the bathroom and played with the little dog Buster for a while. When I finally got in my car to leave up comes a big red Jeep with Jeff and Lauren. I told them I came to say hi but no one was here and they looked at me like I was a crazy person and told me Jolene was home. "No way" I said, I've been in there forever and there isn't a soul there. We all went inside to prove the other wrong and who did we find sitting out on the deck reading a book?
Jolene.
How did we not notice each other the whole time?
I thank the lord all the time for things like this that seem to always happen to me. He always finds someway to keep me entertained. You probably would only find this entertaining too if you were there or know the Wrights but I couldn't stop myself from sharing it- it made my day.
I just love the Wrights.

virgo virgo
So all my life I haven't been much into horoscopes or astrology. I mean I've read my horoscopes out of curiosity but never truly thought much of them.
Well, that was then and this is now. I'm not saying I believe every word of it or base my thoughts and actions daily on them, but I've found that my horoscopes as of late have been very helpful. I go check my horoscope like I'm going to an old wise Chinese great grandmother for advice. Lately, more often than not, my horoscope has been pretty accurate in addressing problems I've been facing and then having the best solutions for them. Maybe I am becoming a crystal believing, look to the stars nut but I can't help but find so much comfort in astrology these days.
Here's an example of one that I really needed to read that day...

Your life may be an open book right now, Virgo. Whether you realize it or not, your emotions and inner turmoil over a certain issue are totally transparent. That doesn't mean you have to confirm anyone's suspicions about your feelings by addressing the problem verbally as well. It's best to let someone guess. Don't worry about an accusation, or about someone's lack of confidence in you. If you simply roll with the punches and be conscientious in all that you do - as is your usual way - the truth will come out when it counts.
Well there you have it folks, the power of the Droid apps and a 50 something year old woman who has a nurturing imagination.
Am I the only one who's crazy?

the washboard
Hello again. Man I've gotten so bad at writing in this which makes me so sad because I love it.
I feel like so much has been going on that I wanted to write about but my mind is all staticky right now.
(Yes staticky is a word- I looked it up I promise.)
First order of business: I finally have a place in salt lake!
I made the decision to do away with roommates and I found the perfect place to try this whole living alone thing out.
I have a two bedroom place in a 4-plex up in the avenues. Now the place is a bit old and has some wear and tear but it has a lot of charm and potential! I am just in love with it.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make the most of the space though. Perhaps I'll put some pictures up and you lovely people can tell me what you think and maybe give me some thoughts on what to do with it...
Second order of business: Unwanted weeding.
I feel like every year I go through a period of losing people that I was close to. Not in a physical sense but in an emotional one. I feel like it's always out of my control and it's a hard thing for me. Well, I've just been through it again but this time there was something different about it. I think maybe I'm finally starting to grow up because in the recent dilemma I did my best to stand my ground and accepted the situation for what it is. I had to let this person go, they needed to figure life for themself and I needed to let go in order to remain my true self. What I've taken from this experience is that you have to let some things fall apart in order to allow other things to build up and grow. Life is just like a washboard sometimes- you have to wash some stains away sometimes to see things for what they truly are.
Well, that's enough rambling for today.
