ananamas & the lawyer

i met ananamas again today. i first met him at the fair, then i re-met him when he came to dmp a while back. i didn't blog about it back then, so i will blog about it today... because he came to dmp again today. i actually don't know why he was there. i probably should have asked since i'm the receptionist and all. oops. my bad. nevertheless, it was good to see a fellow blogger-commenter. it was also good to see millsie when she came to dmp later that day. i guess it was blogging-commenting visitor day.

and tonight i re-met a lawyer friend-of-a-friend's-friend. perfect timing actually. earlier today i was asking fswalker if he had any friends who were lawyers. he didn't. you see, i may need a lawyer's advice/help with the insurance claim for my totalled car. it's been two weeks and nothing! nada! nichts! and since i'm not well-known for my aggressive ability to pursuade others (namely insurance companies) it might be time to get reinforcements (namely a lawyer). so, although i didn't formally pray for God to send a lawyer friend to me, i did wish it would happen. and i even remembered meeting a lawyer who was the friend of my friend's friend at the star wars premiere this summer. (fs & movie buff, do you remember kipp & the two guys that came with her? well, that's who i'm talking about...) but he had gone to the army or something, and i had lost his card & didn't know how to reach him or even if he could be reached. he could be in iraq or timbuktu. but no! guess where he was tonight!?!? he was eating at maria's downtown! and so was i! so voila! there was the lawyer & just when i needed him. i think maybe God answered my quasi-prayer. yep, i'm pretty sure that's what happened. why else would i have remembered him today... then seen him tonight? the timing is too weird. or as i like to say... "it's not odd, it's GOD!" ok, so that's korny. but it's true. and now i have someone to give me advice about the insurance krap. thanks, God. i know it was You. thanks for taking care of me... yet again. that song is right. you are an Awesome God. ok, now i'm sounding really korny, so i'm going to bed.

tomorrow jen's bro gets married. i'll take pix and blog them.

wow. my blog posts are as random & spontaneous & scatterbrained as i am. aren't they? yep.

thank you, dad!

millsie brought to my attention that i left out a very important person in my list of thanks... MY DAD! ok, so i feel like hilary swank at the oscars when she forgot to thank her husband. yikes. i owe many, many, many thanks to my dad. he has done SO MUCH for me... especially since i've moved out on my own. most recently, he bought a brand new washer and dryer for me. brand new! he also bought dryer sheets & detergent to go with. and although he had sessions scheduled on my moving day, he came to springfield anyway... even after a long day of work. my dad, my sweet dad... who i forgot to thank. since he came later, i forgot to include him. when i was replaying the moving scenes in my mind (remembering who carried what, etc...) i didn't see him... so that makes sense, right?! hope so. i love you, dad. and i didn't forget you. i just... i don't know. my heart and my brain are not necessarily connected. it's possible to be close to my heart and absent from my brain. and vice-versa. i think. wow, i'm sounding like a ditz now. but that's ok because dad loves me anyway. he likes to tease me about being "blonde at heart". lol. i know he's right. he knows me & he loves me. he knows i'm a ditz. but i'm his ditz, so that's ok. i love you, dad. and a belated thanks for helping me move... again... for the fifth time in two years...

moving & movie nite

so... this post is for millsie. when i read ur last komment, i remembered that i had forgotten to post a BIG THANK YOU for helping me move. ur a good friend. and someday when u move (like maybe when u go to kollege or when u get ur first apartment) i will be there for you. and i will make fun of YOU when u stumble klumsily and bruise your body on your mis-shapen kountertop. (as soon as i locate the kord thingy for downloading pix from my kamera to my laptop, i will post a pic of the aforementioned kountertop. then u all will know that it is not I who am KLUMSY... but the kountertop maker people who are KRAZY!)

side note... i'm watching CSI: NY and they are investigating at a dance studio. awesome! i love choreography! i wish i kould dance. i wanna take dance lessons. i really do. it's such a beautiful thing.

anyway... i wish to formally and publikly thank the following people for their help with this fifth and final (hopefully!) move of mine...

• Thank you, Mom!
• Thank you, Aunt Lou!
• Thank you, Cory!
• Thank you, Matt!
• Thank you, Aunt Jerrie!
• Thank you, Jessica!
• Thank you, Millsie!
• Thank you, hot neighbor guy!

and an honorable mention to the following dtbloggers (see also www.downtownblogs.com) for their technikal and electronikal (or is it electronik?) assistance...

• Thank you, FS Walker!
• Thank you, Movie Buff!

ok, let's talk about movie nite. if we start watching my movie collection alphabetically, it would be Anna and the King (vhs) or Annie (dvd). or we could rent something new. suggestions? also, which nite is best? i'm guessing fri or sat? wanna pick a weekend? not this weekend though. i'm going to a wedding... which i will blog about next time.

too much new

new year. new apartment. new roommate. new car. (yawn) i'm tired. i'll go into more details about the "news" later. isn't that funny? the plural of new is news. ha. i'm such a nerd.

new year's resolutions vs. goals... i prefer goals. why? because there is no deadline. i will not have failed if i haven't accomplished these things by 12/31/06. they are just goals. things to aim for. a direction in which to go.

so here we go. 4 K1 2 do... in no particular order...

• Buy a red couch to match my red chair
• Volunteer at the crisis pregnancy center
• Be in NY with friends (and/or serious boyfriend) to watch the ball drop in 2010
• Date 12 different guys in 2006 (this goal has a deadline)
• Wear size 2. Go to gym twice a week.
• Get tivo
• Host game nights & movie nights
• Watch a movie in the theater at least once a month
• Go to Little Theater & Hammons Hall to watch fun stuff
• Cook actual meals (other than pasta)
• Keep the apartment clean & tidy
• Sleep. that sounds really good right now. i'm tired. no more goals. i'll think about that tomorrow. after all... tomorrow is another day...
