You ever have those days where you just wander around aimlessly looking for something to do? Or when your standing around in the middle of your living room asking yourself "whats next?". Well, I am NOT having one of those days, or weeks rather... Make it month instead.. School has ended and summer has begun, with the birds laying their eggs and bunny's are hopping around... *record scratch* NEVERMIND! *chaos erupts*
Like I said school has ended and I thought I would have time to compose a very informative post, but alas my time is dwindling fast so let me recap the past two weeks for your enjoyment. It must be enjoyable to watch someone elses life go cuckoo bannana's!!!!!!!
First off I am late in making mention that my dear, darling "sis" (although no quotations are needed right Joci? ;) ) Jocelyn created a wonderful post on how LOTR's is not "good" once you delve into the scenario's and the actual idea behind it. You can read her post here of course: "A former Witch looks at the Lord of The Rings" In her post Joci makes note that she will most likely be getting rid of her LOTR collection. I know she has made the right choice and I am proud to say she is my dear dear friend. :)
I have recently been to the library and ordered a bunch of books to read and I have already started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND FINISHED SOME!!!!!!! *gasp* I got two auto biography's about Bear Gryll's from the TV show Man vs. Wild. and I got one on Dog the Bounty Hunter, from his self titled TV show. I also got some fiction books such as Tracie Peterson's, A Lady of HIgh Regard, and her book "duet" with Judith Miller called, A Daughters Inheritance. Also, The Parting, By Beverly Lewis .
EDIT ONE AND A HALF WEEKS LATER:
Isn't it funny how I started a post saying I have been busy and unable to post and I couldn't even finish the exact post because I had to go?????? Coincidence? I think not ;)
Since this post began alot has happened. Some very interesting days have gone by, oh and the 'coupe de grace' is............ GAS PRICES ARE ABOVE $4. Shocking huh? Not surprising though, and I don't have a car to worry about gas ;) Sorry to be so blunt, Ma!
A couple weeks ago I was working an 8 hour shift when one of our employess called to say a giant-two-decker-car-hauler had lost it's brakes coming down the infamous I-40 from Las Vegas and had ran the intersection of our Bullhead/Laughlin bridge (connecting Nevada and Arizona togther (The only bridge in the whole city)) and had plunged into the river in which all the BRAND NEW CARS on the top deck of the hauler decided to take a dip. At that point I had two hours left of work and I was in a panic because when stuff like this happens (which happens often I might add) the authority's shut down the bridge for like a whole day or more. So now I was stuck on the other side of the river, at the mall, with only the casino's around. Fortunately another co-worker was getting off work the same time I was and she was stuck on that side of the river as well. Our genius plan was to walk half a mile down to the Riverside casino and take the "water taxi' across to the other side of the river and into the parking lot near the Highway. So we did. I shall add that is was about 105 degrees outside ;) So I took, for the very first time, the water taxi across the river and then had to walk what seemed to be another half a mile to where my step dad picked me. That was the talk of the whole town, and still is. Unfortunately since 9/11 semi trucks are not allowed to pass over the Hoover Dam (upside of Las Vegas) so they have to come and loop around through Bullhead and up to Kingman, but Bullhead is situated in a valley and so all the roads are mountainous, and therefore trucks speeding down the mountain road loose their brakes and end up causing a whole bunch of wrecks. About 5 days before this truck "took a drink" in the river another diesel carrying truck lost it's brake and ran through both intersections at the bridge and ended up flipping and spilling 4,500 gallons of disel everywhere. It was funny to see haz-mat teams cleaning it up. ;)
I think I will stop this post here because I am currently watching National treasure 2: Book of Secrets with my friend Mackenzie. I have been asked by Amy, been reminded by Alison, and told I haven't posted in a while by Mrs. Johnson, soooooooo to my dear friends there is my post!!!!! ;)
Hope you enjoyed it!

Oooh. hehe I'd love to buy the seasons, but they cost so much. One of my friends rents the seasons from the library and then has conferences with her siblings to try and figure everything out. heh
I've been pretty good. :) Graduated May 30th... so done with school. Been applying for jobs, but haven't gotten any responces yet. Also been driving a bit more. ;P hehe

Your life sounds like mine...busy! I have about a week left until it all starts, and then it's never going to stop! lol I mean that kind of literally, because by the time all the summer crazyness ends, college will be starting.
Well, I hope you're enjoying your busy summer!

Jules, my dear friend! How are you? I feel like it's been forever since I've visited. So sorry about that! I've been sooo busy lately - not an excuse, I know. :-)
Gas prices - ugh. They're so bad right now! I'm going to have to start bike riding everywhere or something.
Hope you have a nice weekend!
Love,
Mandy

Hehehehe. That show is just sooo awesome. One of the few shows that keeps you guessing. Most shows today you can guess what will happen next, not always so with Lost. XD You understand it? heheheheh
Awwww.. I know... I have a feeling they may kill Desmond... I HOPE NOT!!! :( I knew it was Locke, too! I was thinking, it had to be someone from the island... someone everyone knew. ;P
