Just for Fun...

You know, I was reading through my blog and I realized that I have let a little bit of the fun part of my personality slip through my fingers. (Except for the fun we had at Pete's housewarming...Cordell-you are nuts!!) Not that I want to be the person that I was a year ago, but I miss my silly side. I saw my blog on drinking a monster energy drink and then writing whatever came to mind...honestly...did I have nothing better to do-like making Easter dinner...which I am in the middle of right now! Anyway, I was thinking, it would be fun if we came up with some appropriate dares for me to accomplish and then I will post the story and the pictures for all to see. Anyone interested? I know that I usually make my own fun, but I have had a hard time getting that part of my brain going- so if you could all help me...that would be great!! Some of my most fun is when I get to act like I would to make my parents say "Oh, Jenn..." This picture is courtesy of Cordell and a tart. And the one below is all because of a late night run to Mac Donalds...and the bottom one, well, a big thank-you goes out to Teesh, San Francisco and Christmas. To Teesh-her willingness to let me be a goof around her, to San Francisco-for selling dumb seasonal costumes, and To Christmas-because everything is just a little more fun during that time of the year!!! So, can you rise to the challenge? Post a silly thing/dare for me and I shall accomplish it with proof...maybe this could be a weekly thing...HOWEVER, I cannot stress enough that the ideas must, I repeat must, be APPROPRIATE!!
See ya lata skatas,

Melancholy meets Sanguine

Ya, I know...I hate those stupid personality types too...honestly, the people that walk around and say such things as, "well, you know, it's just the choleric coming out in me". Sheesh, like it is some defense for poor judgment...Anywho...

These last few weeks have been interesting...I think that the medical term that I mean when I say 'interesting' is depressed. I don't remember ever feeling this way except back when I was a kid when some fairly crappy life stuff took place. I guess what resurfaced it was the "dealing with it now phase". I honestly looked through all of the ringtones on my cell to find the song 'Bad Day' so that it could be my theme song. You know..."So you've had a bad day, you're taken one down, you sing a sad song just to turn it around"...and so on. At this point, I have tried my best to stay home and sleep as much as possible. I have no desire to do the things that I love and I find myself pulling away from them, except cooking...I still love to cook...you can all drop by whenever you want and I'll cook for you!? And to top it all off...I detest the thought of being in social situations...So, I make myself do things. Like last night, for example, I made myself go over to some friend's house. I just wanted to stay at home, but I thought that if I keep up with this, things will only get worse. So we went and wouldn't you know, I had a fabulous time. I think that the desires and personality that God gave me win out even when I 'feel' differently. I suppose there is a life lesson in that...I'll approach that later.

However, I have had some good times over the last few weeks. We celebrated Teesha and my birthdays...We had Peter's housewarming party...tonnes of laughs...did I mention the 'Round the world table tennis championship'??? Always fun, always fun!! We also had a going away party for Ronnie and Janelle...also fun (hot tubbing rules!) and sad all at the same time! I am glad that they are following God's call on their lives, but it does leave a hole in ours...Miss you both so much!!






Anyway, that is kind of the reason that I haven't blogged much or called any of you..(sorry Alison, I'll do that this week!! :)
