"i'm one of the chosen ones"

Yay! long hair again! it's been short for way too much time... :)

also, Happy Birthday to Jason!

and happy first day of chemo round 2 to dad...hmm...one of those things seems a whole lot better than the other. but at least dad gets this cool sign to wave at the nurses:so he's got that goin' for him.

"and we all return to our roots"

i spent the day with my family for mother's day and we took a trip to see my grandparent's, and then hung out at my parent's house.
 we got to have little nathan with us all day, and it was fun to see how big he is getting. he points at stuff all the time to tell you what he wants, and where he wants to go and then grins at you when you do it. he's such a happy kid.

he's also very big into walking. he squirms until you put him down and then he'll grab onto your hands and just go trotting along. its adorable.

I am Iron man...

I'm finally out of class for the semester! I know, that lasted like, weeks longer than everyone else. Yesterday was my last day of my drum class though, so I'm officially out. Oh! And I got way good grades, too. Which is surprising, considering I kinda burned out there at the end.
After class I went with Logan to a rehab center in Spanish Fork that asked him to come play and sing for them. We went and everyone got in a circle and listened and sang along and they were all really friendly and nice.
We decided to go see Iron Man 2 last night to celebrate freedom from school, and also ran into my cousins at the theater, so we watched it with them. I kinda wish I'd re-watched the first one before I went. Not because you need to at all, but just because I couldn't really remember it. Anyway, it was good, I liked it.
This morning my sisters chopped 10+ inches off their hair to donate to locks of love. I went with them to supervise, and seriously considered getting a pixie cut. I'm growing my hair out because I really do want it long, but every time I see a really cute really short cut I want it! We'll see how long I last.

On my way home I stopped at the glorious Winco that just opened in front of my apartment building, and they had samples out like Costco...only, WAY better! There were pop tart samples and fruit by the foot samples, drinks, etc. It felt like my dream store. That place is great.

"Someday you'll be fine. Yes, I'll be just fine..."

so my friend Sarah posted a blog today that made me laugh at her OCD. not because i think she's crazy or anything, but because i do the same thing with my closet.

i have to have my clothes organized by color. they all hang in their appropriate place, sized by color, then short sleeve to long sleeve within that color. i can't help it. i even do it to other people's clothes sometimes...yikes. i know.
don't worry, if i come over you won't walk into your bedroom to discover me rearranging your clothes. i'm not weird...just...organized. i've really only done it to other people if i'm helping them clean, or...whatever. anyway. moving on.
i also have a thing with my books/movies. books should be in order by size, while movies get separated by category. that one is pretty easy since i'm not really one to buy movies, and most of my books are packed away. i only have a limited selection out to work with.
so, next time you ask "hey what're you doing?" and i say "color-coordinating", you don't have to wonder what that means...i just did laundry and i wont be satisfied til it's put away properly. it's not weird! it's perfectly healthy to be organized.
