A Letter About Looking Back.

“If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.” - Audrey Hepburn


After viewing this video you will know at least three things about me: 
1. I love my roommates. 
2. I love my dog. 
3. I often have strange men in my apartment.  

Two days ago I posted my facebook status as, "I have a paper due on Monday so my roommates and I are dancing around the apartment dressed like Spice Girls." 

I don't know why people thought I was kidding. 

Another Tad of Inspiration.

Three things:

A) "Don't be afraid to go where you've never gone and do what you've never done, because both are necessary to have what you've never had and be who you've never been."

B) Also, today I was using half of my brain to think about my task at hand and the other half to think about foods that sound like they would be disgusting, but are actually super delicious. I get bored at work.  

Chicken Fingers, Tootsie Rolls, Sour Cream, Pickles, Pumpkin Pie, Sauerkraut, Brownies, Creme Cheese, Honey Mustard 

Can anyone think of anything else?

C) Finally: I am in the process of backing up the videos I've taken on my camera. I threw together some of my favorites. So watch for two minutes worth of things that were obviously worth filming.  Most of them involve Maria, ye be warned.

Youngest Child Syndrome?

I recently read an article about birth order for my social work class.  I didn't think any of the descriptions really fit my family until I got to the youngest child.

They’re natural charmers with an outgoing, social personality; no surprise then that many famous actors and comedians are the baby of the family.  Youngest also make a play for the spotlight with their adventurousness. Free-spirited lastborns are more open to unconventional experiences and taking physical risks than their siblings

Today I was looking through some of my old videos from a few years back.  My youngest sister is always front and center and I'm pretty sure she is almost always wearing pink. Girl's got sass. To her credit, most of these were taken three years ago. On a side note, I think my favorite Andrea story happened right before I moved out and went to college. She told me never to wet the bed and always think about Jesus. Words to live by.

ps. Julie taught her the dance moves.
