FAQ Page

I would like to do a FAQ page...but obviously, I need a few questions. =)

I think I would like at least five to do the page, so if you have any questions, SEND THEM TO ME! I would prefer an email, but comments are AMAZING, too! Just do whatever is convenient. Ask me anything; no question is dumb.

My email is...

Thanks, all you awesome people!

1 Peter 3:3-4

We all need to remember this. It's too easy to obsess on what we look like on the outside, and what we really need to focus on is living our lives for Jesus. It's more important to be pretty on the inside than it is to be gorgeous on the outside. And that can be really hard to remember.

And I know this is a short post...sorry about that! =)

Twaddle

Twaddle means nonsense (says Microsoft Word). Wasn't sure if you knew that. And that is a hairy plant.

And by the way...in case you didn't notice...I am seriously too random.

Like you didn't know.



AND ON TO THE REAL POST.....


I'm sore. Very sore. My thighs are sore, my back is sore, my arms are sore. Just about all of me hurts. But it's a good pain. Being sore means I've worked some muscles I don't usually use - or I at least don't use a TON. In swimming we would work out SO HARD but I was rarely sore. Then in volleyball, we work out obviously, but not like swimming, and I get SUPER sore.

But I still love volleyball. Swimming stunk. Volleyball is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better. I love my coach and assistant coach.

And for a little (more =) randomness....because it wouldn't be my blog without all this randomness (and I need to come up with synonyms for random). And it wouldn't be my blog without all the parenthesis. And it wouldn't be my blog without the word and all over the page. And it wouldn't be my blog without all the blabbing. I'll be quiet for a minute. Not. =) I'm quiet in person...if you can believe it. Anyway.....

~ My knees buckle when I walk because I'm sore (weird but true - ok, they only buckle when I'm not really attempting to walk - I'm basically just falling about, if that makes any sense =) ~

~ What Not to Wear is on tonight (yay!) ~

~ I've had my hair in a ponytail TWO DAYS IN A ROW (big deal, I know. like I haven't done that before and like it REALLY matters.)!!!! ~

~ I only recently figured out that I can wiggle my ears ~

~ I am sick of watching beach volleyball. It's all that's every on at night! ;-) ~

~ Ecclesiastes 3:11 - He has made everything beautiful in its time...Lovely verse ~

~ I'm probably the only person that looks up synonyms for the word synonym ~ 

~ I thought it was cool that I knew that the capitol of Mongolia is Ulan Bator (not sure if that's spelled right - the iPod and the map on the wall aren't spelling it the same...) and so I had a clock on my iPod that told me what time it is there. I can't really explain the reason I thought it was cool. And I don't know why I had a clock for it on my iPod. Ok, yes, I do. I didn't know what else to put on there. I also had Cairo and Honolulu. I removed them all last night. And how was that for random?! ~

~ Now my only clock in "World Clocks" is London ~

Like you wanted to know all that.

XOXO,

Emily <3

ps: While we're on the subject of synonyms, I looked up synonyms for random. None are quite as good as random. So be prepared to get sick of that word. 

Like you can get sick of a word. The one word (which isn't really a word) I've gotten sick of was IDK (stands for I Don't Know). Which really explains why I started using it - and not just while texting. Hmm.....

Ok, I REALLY use the words and, random, and like WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too often.

I congratulate you if you made it to the end of this jumble of words. You're brave.

A Bunch of Gerbils

We went to the pet store today. Here is the evidence.

 

Aren't these gerbils cute!? My parents say they look like they're praying before they eat.  =)

I used to have a gerbil.

His name was Henry. He was the fattest gerbil I have seen in all my days.

Not that I've seen many gerbils really up close...

XOXO,

Emily

ps: Sorry for the lack of posts (again). Swimming just ended and now volleyball is starting. And by the way, it's A ZILLION TRILLION BILLION GAZILLION (ok, I think you get it) times better than swim team!

Goodnight.

That was easy!

Yesterday was the easiest swim practice known to man kind. It was just me and a girl named Kristen, and we had yet another coach today. Her name's Chloe; she's pretty nice. (Our other coach Dylan was there, but with the younger kids.)

We had to do a 1000 (yes, that does say one THOUSAND) yard IM...but it really didn't seem like we did that much! Probably because I didn't do butterfly because my back still hurts - instead I did a mix of breaststroke and freestyle while poor Kristen suffered through "the fly".

After that we didn't do a whole lot; we basically got to do whatever, which was super fun! We were getting ready to go off the diving boards when the rest of swimming got canceled because of thunder.

Thursday is supposed to be fun...can't wait! Hopefully Kryn can come!
