Are the Details in the Fabric?

So, I'm feeling super manic today.

Yesterday, I saw a commercial for Disneyland, which piqued my "I Need to Get Out of This Town!" blood vessels. So, I'm stomping around now, trying to think of ways to outsmart The Man and blow this popsicle stand.

What if we went to a Coldstone in Park City instead of the one down the street? What if I convinced Caleb that Vegas is nice this time of year? What if I convinced Kellie to fake a cold, so Caleb and I would have to rush to Redlands to save her?

And then I ponder on ways to get my mom to take me on a girls' day to Disneyland while I'm down in Redlands for the wedding.

You know, Mom was pretty excited when her picture was in Paper Trends in my mini album. And that picture was taken at Disneyland. So, if I can convince her that another thing like that will happen if we go to Disneyland, then it'll be a cinch.

I'm concocting all of these hare-brained schemes and I've convinced myself that they'll all work wonders, when Caleb says: "Even if you went to Disneyland, you couldn't ride most of the rides, thanks to the baby." Gah for logic. Gah for antsy-ness. But, mostly gah for the outside world being so dang tantalizing. Disneyland is still possible though - it always is.

Lately, I'm addicted to three things: water, soft serve ice cream, and photography blogs. These two that I've linked are to super talented photographers; the first is Whitney Hardie (she's my friend! I know her!) and the second is Johnathan Canlas (who Whitney's interning for). I really recommend going to both if you're having a blah day, since their creativity will inspire you!

As for the other two things, they'll help you out if you're feeling thirsty and hot. Which, you know, is totally possible.

Yesterday, I went on a totally fun adventure to take my friends Kileen and Gerald Smith to an interview for being on-site managers at an apartment complex. I just loved that they asked me on an adventure! After their interview, we all loaded up the car (including their baby Aurora!) and set off to Sonic, where I tried my first real juice slush. Hello! It was awesome. I just like to go off and do things I don't normally do, even if it's just a quick trip for an interview that I didn't even partake in. I hope Caleb and I get to hang out with them before they leave WHEN they get this awesome job. See? Positive thinking.

I'm illegal.

A couple of weeks ago, I was laying on my couch in the morning, just pondering what is going on in my life right now.

Well, school's out. Work's going well. It's getting hotter outside, which makes it hotter inside. The baby's keeping it real, but the heartburn isn't.... Wait, what about Helen Grace chocolate peanut butter bears?

So, I google, find it on Amazon, order two boxes and charge that business.

The story, if it matters, is that Daddy used to sell Helen Grace candy for his school's choirs and bands; he would buy these chocolate peanut butter bears, which still strike memories in the hearts of Chatfield girls. And I bought some, on a whim, from the internet. I'm not a whim girl with my purchases, so after I did it, I kind of regretted it.

And then, today, the UPS man came while I was still in my jammies. He gave me this HUGE box, I signed and then he jingled down the stairs (dude had santa claus keys). I tear open the box, only to uncover quintuple layers of pastel-rainbow wrapping paper. And, there were the little boxes of bears. I've only eaten a few, so far, because I want to share. So, here's the call, I suppose. Come. And. Get.
