soap.

i have a box of tagalongs sitting next to me. there is a picture of three girls who look straight out of the eighties on it, and one of them has a crazed look in her eyes. i think she is disappointed because she is on the box of tagalongs instead of eating the box of tagalongs. tough luck, crazed cliche teenager.

went to massanutten today with my cousins. my cousin dabney likes to be joined at the hip with me. in the car ride there, it was just me and her and my parents. this was a bummer because my plan was to catch some extra z's.

i somehow convinced her that it would be a good way for us to bond if i went to the backseat and slept while she sat quietly in the front seat.

children. so naive and impressionable.

i saw a clone of 11 year old meg at the waterpark if meg was fat and had bad teeth. so i guess it wasnt really that much of a clone.

amanda and i enjoyed watching people do the "flowrider". the "flowrider" is a little machine that squirts water upwards really hard and then people get a boogie board and jump on the water and try to "surf". in case you didnt catch on from all of my airquotes, this machine is really a load of bologna.

that is so weird that bologna is spelled like that. should be balonie.

but its so entertaining to watch. some people walk up with a swagger because they KNOW they are gonna OWN at this because it looks SO SIMPLE. it is those people that end up flipping off immediately and gain nothing but a mouth full of water and their swim trunks at the bottom of the pool. awkward.

i tell of this from a special place in my heart because i saw this happen to someone i know and love. yes, a close member of my immediate fambly lost their swim trunks in the flowrider. that person.... is my father.

...moving on.

saw the gimmick show at bdale tonight with my husband and annie. i also saw my granpa tom mcgranahan whom i miss because now who is there to call me a hooligan? sad.

annie and i went to the restroom. simple enough. saw dee lynch. some polite chit chat was occuring, and i was trying to seem coordinated, cue laughter from jessie at the thought of me being coordinated, and so i decided to attempt to multi task.

its tricky to multi task right when you enter a restroom because generally what you are in there to do you cant do and carry on a conversation. well, you can, but i'd prefer not to put the other person in a position of such awkwardness.

so as i was conversing with dee, i meandered over to the soap dispenser, squirted soap in my hand, and finished up the convo. it was a few moments after she left the restroom that i realized that i had been holding out my hands with a hefty dollop of soap on them for a good minute or so without noticing. i am SO coordinated.

my husband's name is jessica elizabeth love jennison and after tomorrow we shall not be friends anymore because she is getting her braces removed and she will be too beautiful to be even distant acquaintences with meg and myself anymore. its a shame, because i really was beginning to be able to tolerate her.
