you wiley....minx!

So a couple days ago I was trying to re-format my computer now that I have my new camera and it saves HUGE files. I was wasting time as I waited for something to load, and logged on to facebook. I looked around a little, read some statuses, almost logged off- but then clicked on my page real quick. To my dismay I found that my profile picture had been changed! To this:

I know, shocking, right? Some ninja sneakiness was definitely going on behind my back...

"I'm a prizefighter..."

I meant to post this a couple days ago, but I've been a little slow getting the pictures on my computer. Mingo is feeling a bit overloaded these days.
So...remember how awhile back a bunch of people were doing those contests where the first 5 people to comment on their blog got a homemade gift from them? My sister-in-law Savannah did one of those, and this weekend I got my gift!

A specially custom-made scarf with stars on the end and everything :) Haha. It's super awesome.Thanks Savannah! I love it :)

bowling for...camera bags

I would like to introduce you all to the newest additions of my electronic family. A couple weeks ago I bought a new camera...
*sigh* ...Isn't it pretty?

 It takes such gorgeous pictures, I can't even tell you. I named him Spartacus. Of course Sparta needed a camera bag, and I searched and searched for a cute one, but all I came up with were really expensive manly ugly gray bags. I relayed my sad story to my brother Jason and he sent me a link (jokingly, I think) to "The bowler bag." I fell in love. It looks like an apple! and perhaps like a bowling bag. Here she is:

Ta da! So cute, right? I've never seen a camera bag like it. Trust me, I searched for a week and this was the cutest. Its even cuter in person. :) Anyway, I guess I'll have to post some super amazing pictures soon so you guys will get to experience the wonderful clarity that will be my pictures!

"the best sneetch on the beach..."

Dear Mister Sneetch,
I realize you have been with me, riding along wherever I go for about a year now, but I never realized you hated the cold just as much as me until a couple mornings ago when I scraped away the snow and discovered this sad sad sight:

I guess you'll be havin a bit lighter step these days now that you've shed some pounds...at least you got to keep your star belly.
Just keep hangin on a little longer, buddy...I'll get you to warm weather soon.

Sincerely,
your best plain-bellied non-sneetch friend

"never take friendship personal"

sometimes I wonder how I got the friends I have.

I just logged on to facebook and my entire news feed was filled with either statuses about football or sports in general, or electronics- more specifically, the debates between whether apple's new product is the greatest thing ever or not. Everything is a copy...of a copy..of a copy.

boring.

guess it's time to study...and make more unique and interesting friends.

"Cuz, I've been disconnected! Someone pulled the plug. Oh, you're so distant, nothing's come along..."

As some of you might know, I..am a blog stalker. I love blogs. It's like getting to read someone's journal. If you have a blog and I know about it, consider yourself stalked. I can't help it!
Blogging, on the other hand, takes a little more effort. I like blogging, I just don't always have stuff worth writing about. Since school started I have gotten so far behind on both blogging and blog-stalking, but I think I have finally caught up. I've spent hours reading posts that have gone on since new years. I consider it time well spent...and now I know what's going on with all you lovely people. :) Well, at least as much as you've shared with the world through your writing. A lot of my conversations seem to stem from "I was looking at so-and so's blog, and..." That reminds me of Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail. " So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, [blog] when shouldn't it be the other way around?" Maybe I'm a better internet friend than a real-life friend. How sad.
Anyway, things have happened that I've thought about writing about, but there was always a reason not to yet. It's like when you haven't written in a journal for-ever and then when you start back up you feel like you have to summarize the last however long its been, you can't just start from that day....does anyone else have that problem? I do. Anyway, this is like that. I felt like I had to wait until I had pictures and enough things to write about to seem interesting, but I was just thinking about it, and honestly, who is going to want to read a post from me about a million things at once? I should space these out.
Since this blog is already turning out to be forever long, I will just say all that I've said and that more posts will be coming soon :) thank you for all your wonderful blogging I get to read. howd'ya like that, a whole blog without really saying anything. sorry guys. Until next time...

oh, and p.s.- Cassidy, remember when you sent out that people of the walmart email? yeah, I know the guy on the front page of peopleofwalmart.com today. Hahaha. Never thought I'd be able to say that, but it makes me laugh :)
