A day to be tired...but a movie helps!

I woke up this morning and hit snooze on my phone and alarm clock multiple times like I normally do, but this time I hit it for over an hour! I did NOT want to get up. I went downstairs, ate breakfast and checked my email, but I was still tired. Usually breakfast does the trick but nothing was helping. I even had force out energy just to shower and that didn't help anymore than food did! I had 10 hours of sleep and I still couldn't keep my eyes open, but Dad had a suggestion to go and see a movie. We went to our local theatre and saw Wall*e, a movie about a long lost robot on Earth trying to clean the planet while all the life forms including humans were gone. Dad thought that it would be a good movie, but I had second thoughts. We watched the movie and I left there thinking...What was that???. Dad said it was "OK" but I for one thought it wasn't very good at all. It was a nice treat to go see a movie with my dad and get out of the house, but I found the movie just plain old boring. And since the characters were robots, they wouldn't talk except for the saying of names but that factor killed it for me. For a child, I think that this movie would be had to watch and keep their attention since everything is interpreted through actions. But don't let my review hold you back from seeing this Pixar movie...it did get great reviews from REAL critics. Here is the movie's poster.

As far as my sleep goes...I'm going to bed early and am gonna try to get enough rest to hangout with Krista tomorrow. She's back from Mexico but is tired herself and I can only bet she is napping right now. I would nap too but I don't believe in naps. ha ha. Not since I I'm not forced to take them anymore.

I'm also debating whether or not to get tickets to go to a concert by a favorite group of mine. They are known as The Jonas Brothers and they are coming to Cincinnati next month. I can get a $45 dollar ticket but then I have to include that factor that someone would have to go with me and all but, I;m still on the fence, It's the airing of their new CD "Little Bit Longer"...and they are premiering it on the tour before the CD even hits stores! Here is the group below.




Have a great weekend guys! I'll try to post pictures of our canoe trip but I don't know if I'll get any since I don't want to get the camera wet ha ha. I'll post later!

A relaxing weekend....

I 've been busy with jobs searching and actually working and I'm just so worn out. My job requires me to work in the heat up to 100 degrees and in humid weather. We never get breaks and if we do...it's for a 20 minute lunch. I've worked 8 hour days for the past 2 days and I can definitely say that I HATE mums. We have been planting them non stop for the past week and I've only been there for 2 days....I can only imagine how my coworkers feel.We are on our feet all day long and sweat constantly. And after coming home today in muddy shoes and sweat drenched clothes....I decided...that I'm gonna just relax all weekend long. Unfortunately I don't have guitar because I left it at the Mclains but I have other sources of relaxation. For one....this picture below is my favorite spot in the house...our Patio, I will be on the patio a LOT this weekend.

And these pictures are of my cat relaxing like he always does.

But overall...as long as my boss doesn't call me wanting me to come in tomorrow...
then I'm home free to relax...clean up a bit....and hangout with Krista when she gets back.
Peace.

There's a mix of everything in this post! Videos...pictures...and posts!

Well, another week has gone by and a lot has been accomplished. I have been updated daily on the progress of Krista's church missions trip and I know that they are making a big difference in the lives of children in Mexico. As far as her return date...that will be this weekend and we are planned to go on a canoe trip this Monday with the YMCA's teen center. My sister Missy will be a leader on this trip and is the one who informed me about it. Her son Kameron came over for a movie/camp out night last week..and so now I'm posting a picture of us since I didn't get to in my last post.

Kam and I watching Camp Rock!

I have spent these past few days at The Mclains and have been helping out with baby Sofia and finding a job in the mean time. I have a decent lead on a coffee shop job...if not for this year, than for next. Thanks to Tricia for all of her help because without her...I would still be at home doing nothing with my summer and wouldn't have any job opportunities at all. And while I was visiting for these few days...I took some pictures of the baby and Tricia. Here are a couple....and then one of me.

Aww...Little miss Sofia on her boppy!


Tricia and her baby on the couch.


This is just me at Tricia's house last night.


This is a preview and tour of "The Studio"

And as a bonus...these are videos of Sofia while going in and out of napping.(I took these while babysitting her this afternoon!)
