so...updates. Rhett is at work today....it is officially the rush. keep your fingers crossed for a promising sell period!
the grimes come to visit in only 2 weeks! we can't wait! we got our tickets booked for discovery cove, and seaworld on saturday! and the last weekend of summer shows! whoop whoop! and watching the aggies BTHO SMU in the season opener with the central florida texas a&m club! we can't wait. and my daddy is coming to visit the last week of september for a work meeting! and then we go to texas at the end of october, and then my parents for thanksgiving, and then rhett's family for christmas! I can't believe that we are close enough to christmas and keeping busy enough that we will get to see someone every 3 weeks for the rest of the year! eeeek!!! how great did that work out?
last year, the wedding forced me to be productive. I brought up taking christmas card pictures soon, and rhett scoffed. then I mentioned by this time last year I had the cards finished and addressed, and all christmas presents purchased and wrapped. I've got to get a move on! speaking of wedding, our video came in the mail this week! we thought we would wait to watch it, but we gave in. pretty weird to watch ourselves. and funny to see everything we missed!
also, I am teaching myself sign language. as mentioned in a previous post, I think it is awesome. I started with a website that teaches you your first 100 words. who knows what I will do next? probably join the library and get a video.
also, I didn't get the animal care job. which is ok, I didn't expect it. I just loved the swim test! I also got a callback for an educator job at the museum, which didn't sound like something I would want to do, or something that I could do at the same time as SW. so I didn't get that one either.
last night rhett and I played mario, and our discussion to describe world 8 turned into something like this.
"oh my goodness just run as fast as you can!" "world 8 is like satan's butthole." "watch out for that hedgehog!" "that's not a hedgehog that's a football helmet with legs!" "no way it's a hedgehog, I wouldn't want a hedgehog in my butthole." "well would you want a football helmet with legs in your butthole?"
I love my husband.
doggy things: when he gets the hiccups, it's adorable. I hate the hiccups, so I feel sorry for him, but it is so cute. also on days like today, we have been playing agility in the living room. I set up an obstacle course- which he is pretty good at. he is so smart! then he goes and lays down to take a nap, and sticks his head under the couch. so when I look down at my feet I see the headless dog. too funny.
speaking of doggies, when we went to the Texas A&M vs. UCF soccer game (btho!) we met the soccer collies! coolest dogs ever. you can even see me in one of their pictures!
and of course, work things.
whoa! check out that pokey-ball!
julie scardina is my new career idol. sw/bg animal ambassador. I want to be her when I grow up. see her segments on the today show!
-dad talking to son: points to batswana on map "this is where your sister was named after. ranaka! and....." points to california "this is where you are named after! logan!"
-dad turns to me: "it's pretty sad when one of your children is named after a city in botswana, and the other is named after a character from gilmore girls."
brother and sister pair approach the chameleon enclosure. sister has seen chameleon earlier in the day and told her brother it was "this big" with fingers about 2 inches apart. brother approaches enclosure and nearly poops himself because chameleon is actually about 18" long.
"that chameleon is not 'this big'!" brother says. sister says: "yes he is!" (as she stands 2-3 feet away from enclosure and holds up her fingers to measure).
that awkward moment when you realize you have been telling guests it is a "swimming anenome" about 50% of the time and a "swimming anemone" about 50% of the time. how cliche.
that awkward moment when you are capable of listening and talking at the same time, and you hear a guest behind you say "just like me at home, talking to myself" as you narrate over the microphone.
that awkward moment when you want to kick a child after he kicks the chameleon enclosure. what the what?
that awkward moment when you want to kick another child who is spinning her krinkle straw so it whistles incessantly and you can't escape.
that awkward moment when a weird dude licks all his raspberry pastry off his plate and tells you not to order a mango cream drink from starbucks. then chugs it.
that awkward moment when you congratulate a little girl for getting all the answers right on a matching game, who then tells you she just looked at the tag.
