Waitin' On a Man 2
9:00 AM
Today I made another attempt at catching the elusive Ice Cream Man.
I failed.
So I took the walk of shame to the super market and bought some pity ice cream.
I was hoping to drown my ice cream-less sorrows in a carton of well... ice cream.
Sadly it only tasted of delicious, cookies and creamy failure.

Butterfly
8:04 AM
When I get homesick, I tend to look through old photos that I have.
I haven't been too homesick, but when I feel it a little bit, it helps to remember the good times.
I stumbled across these photos and really wanted to share them with you.
We found this new butterfly in our yard back in 2008 and had fun letting him climb up our faces and sit in our hair. He was so so pretty!
My niece was a little bit scared of Flutter, but this is one of my favorite pictures of the two of us.
Good memories.

Chat
8:00 AM
Funny things happen in the 20-Something Blogger's chat room.
There are always tons of people to talk to, and we're all so witty that it's typically a one-liner zing fest in there.
It's great fun and I am always surprised by the craziness that ensues on any given day.
A few nights ago, I made a new friend. I'd never talked to this guy before, but he sent me a message asking if he could draw me.
"LOL, what?! You want to DRAW me?"
"Yes. I want to draw you."
So I sent him a picture:
And this is what I got in return.
It's just so cool! I knew the instant he sent it that I had to share it!
Thanks Matthew!
Go and check out his blog HERE! He has some more great sketches in his posts!

Waitin' On a Man
8:01 AM
Every day I hear the soft plinky plunky melody that announces the ice cream man is making his rounds in his musical truck.
And every day I rush downstairs to try and catch him on his second round through the neighborhood and each time I miss him.
That elusive ice cream man.
I sit on the front steps and wait for the music to signal his arrival and he still manages to evade me.

Best Of Sunday 3
8:02 AM
This week I thought I would repost one of my all time favorite posts.
Where I open up and talk about my dislike of spiders and irrational fear of dirigibles.
Yes. I am scared of zeppelins.
They terrify me.
If you don't understand what I mean, go to YouTube and search "Hindenburg Disaster." I would link you, but I'm not that brave.
And now for the post:
So I'm sure you've all heard the phrase "Spiders are more afraid of you than you are of them" as told by parents who hope that their children will not grow up to be arachnophobes like themselves. But somewhere along the line, a spider dangles from a web right in our faces, and we FREAK out because the thing has FAR too many legs. So spiders are more afraid of us? I know this NOT to be true.
Last summer, in the wee hours of the morning before going to bed, I decided to 'tidy' up my room a bit. I lifted an object that needed putting away from my floor, when a very large spider scurried over my fingertips, and under a napkin that was strewn on my floor. I squealed and grabbed a shoe, pounding the napkin to a pulp! I then flipped the shredded paper with a pen, and there it was. A spider laying in the fetal position, legs in the air. My napkin was in tatters, so I didn't have anything to pick it up and throw it away with, so I left it there until further notice.
I went about cleaning up my room. And because I'm paranoid, I'd continuously peek over to were the spider carcass lay. Still there. All is well. But on my fifth glance. Wait, what?! Where? Where is it?! Ew! Get of the floor, get off the floor!!
A few hours later, I finally decided that I should sleep, justifying to myself that a severely mangled spider was nothing to worry about. He'd probably crawled off somewhere to die, right? So I went to bed without a worry. Yet the next morning I woke and noticed this small insistant itch on the top of my right foot. I had a spider bite! Are you kidding me? That spider had it in for me. He waited in the shadows until I was asleep and he could sink his teeth into me. Low blow spider, getting a girl while she's sleeping.
Over the course of the next two months, the spiders were out to get me. I'd see nearly five a day, most of the time in my room. I came to the conclusion that I had killed these spider's mother and they wanted revenge. The only thing is...they were all different species of spider. That's when I realized: I had killed the Angelina Jolie of Spiders. She had an overabundance of children and they were as diverse as could be.
I hate spiders.
But spiders are generally detestable. People don't judge you for hating spiders, because most everyone you meet hates them with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns, just as you do.
People judge you a bit when you tell them you are afraid of dirigibles. You know, those large blimp like things? Zeppelins, airships, whatever you want to call them. They used to fascinate me, but somewhere in my life I developed an irrational fear of the things.
I think on some level I've always been a little terrified by them. When I was little, there was this cheesy anime movie 'Kiki's Delivery Service.' I LOVED that movie. But there is a dirigible crash in that movie, and the giant floating thing above the city always gave me chills. It's just kind of escalated from there.
I'm very glad we live in an age where these things don't fly around anymore. However, they seem to be a popular trend in movies lately. Tonight after class we watched the movie 'UP!' Adorable movie. I have no idea how it ends. Why is that? Because the villain flies around in a dirigible! (Very fitting. He was the most terrifying villain I've seen because of his choice of aircraft.) I tried not to make a big deal out of it, I would simply not watch the screen. Wow, the looks I was getting from people. I don't know WHY my mind is repulsed by the blasted things, it just is! What happened to the concept of not judging people? "Judge not lest ye be judged!" C'mon people! We're in a church class! At least pretend you understand that principle of the religion. I left the room and didn't finish the movie.
It's an irrational fear. I don't understand it. If I did, I would try to explain. I actually quite like this strange quirk in myself. I find it quite funny! However when you are trying to flirt and look adorable, people staring at you like you are a mad woman with a big ol' zit on your forehead doesn't make you feel too flirty.

St. Patty's Day!
7:00 AM
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Er... yesterday!
It was a great day filled with lovely green things.
I have so many green clothes in my closet and it saddened me when I realized that I don't wear it often as I should. Green looks good on me!
I got all dressed up in green and hopped on over to get my favorite treat!
Yogurtland New York Cheesecake Yogurt with Kiwi! Perfect for the holiday!
They even had green spoons!
And as a treat for my sister and I, I stopped by Retro Bakery. We'd both heard really great things about the cupcakes and it's so close to where we live!
I got us each a mint chocolate chip cupcake in honor of St. Patty's Day!
They were scrumptious! Mint buttercreme icing is yummeh!
Hope you had a great St. Patty's Day! I sure did!
Also, I'm featured over at The Sunset Won't today. Go and check out my post!
