Discombobulated

Just in case anyone was wondering, discombobulated really is a technical word, and not a made up one like "awesomeness" or "FLSBDFR," and here's the definition!

Discombobulated: out of order, cracked out, not working properly, contorting, blabbering nonsense, confused, dysfunctional, out of shape and out of mind.


This is my one hundredth blog post! This blog is an old.... Well... Suffice to say it's old! This post will be number one hundred of many other random, thoughtful, funny and sometimes just downright useless and unpredictable posts. Who here is excited?! I am! Just me? Oh... I have long put off the writing of this blog simply because it is my hundredth. I wanted it to be cool, special. But after much putting off, working up, forgetting etc I have finally decided, at midnight no less, oh what the heck? Why not just write the thing and get it over with? On Saturday I went to the first wedding I've been to in a VERY long time! We got dressed up and went, I rode there with my grandma Lorri because my grandma Barbara and mom went several hours prior as the cake makers to make the cake. It was a long windy trip and of course Lily got sick and threw up, causing us to stop by the side of the road and clean her off. This also meant we had to dress her in the parking area before walking up to the wedding! It was my cousin Kayla's wedding, and her new husband's name is Jaime. The pastor who married them, however was reading the name so he said "Do you, Kayla, take Jaime..." and pronounced the "J". But Kayla's husband's name was actually pronounced more like "Hi me," so when she repeated after the pastor she loudly said his name in the correct manner! At the end of the wedding they had a dunk tank and Jaime got in to be dunked, later joined by Kayla, his bride. On Sunday we were back home again and the O'Neills picked us up and took us to church. I'd never been to their church before, and it was honestly quite unlike any church I'd ever remembered going to before! Monday we picked up our friend Tanya from the airport. She'd flown down to visit us from Alaska! Mom picked her up and they came home loaded down with groceries. On Tuesday Brenten took me to see Mr. Popper's Penguins, it was a funny movie and we were cracking up laughing! Wednesday I ended up spur of the moment going to see the Pirates of the Carribean On Stranger Tides movie with the teens. Lexie and I ran in just before the movie started and made it just barely. We went to In N Out with Derek, Zach, and Emily and then home with Zach and Emily where we spent a lot of time just sitting on their front porch swing! Lexie and Em swam a lot and we walked to the 7Eleven for slurpees (Derek and Zach got Double Gulps, which they claimed was the better deal and Derek couldn't finish!). Lex and I, the unnexpected guests ended up tagging along to the O'Neills' bible study, which was very interesting, and I liked. We spent much of the next day with them too! On Saturday I helped the girls pick a present for their friend Aimee. We dropped them off and went to Walmart where we sat in the lawn furniture until a worker there started to look very annoyed at us so we got in line and bought only a single loaf of hot fresh bread which we tore and ate in the car! I babysat for the Dahms, and so got to play with Bryan, Simon and Beka! Bryan and I built a race track and ran cars along it, I videoed him on his scooter, we painted, made pipecleaner animals, played card games, baseball, basketball, and read books. We had a blast (Yes I had a blast with little Bryan!). I also managed to get the parents lost trying to direct them back to my own house and we had to turn around assisted by the GPS on a phone and find out way back! I fell into bed, exhausted and half asleep. Today was my mom's birthday. We went to my grandparents' house and hung out, I fell alseep on their lawn for the second time this week in the beautiful bright sun! (Why yes I am a bit sunburned, but not at all too bad...). I read, texted and wrote even. When I found a pen I realized my creative streak was back and I NEEDED to write! So I did. My character's name in my story is Sadie, the same as Zach and Emily's dog. I would say that I named my character that before they got their dog but that would be dishonest! Frankly I loved the name and so I stole it.... So I suppose they'll have to deal with that! What I would really love right now is a trip to the library. Well maybe not RIGHT now, in the early hours of the morning, but soon! I miss the library and I really think we should get in there soon, maybe I will... And I am so not adding anything to this post anymore, just rambling to make Zach impatient and try to prove my point that I am deadline incapable. Buuut it looks like I'll have to give in....
