happy thoughts seem rare.

so, after a busy day of running around, i'm sitting here lounging, watching music videos. i just saw the end of the new pink video (i don't even know what it's called), and i don't get it. if i'd seen the whole thing i probably could have gotten a more clear picture. now "when you're mad" by ne-yo is on, and it's just a funny video. ("you're just so damn sexy, when you're mad.") ask me about it sometime, i see it often.

so, i was busy today with grad night at church. along with one of the high school leaders (becky), i planned the decorations. the theme was aloha! so it wasn't that difficult to work something out for decorations. lots of hawiaiian stuff mostly. we decorated for 2 and a half hours today, and it looked amazing. it turned out so well. i think that i liked it more than the one i did two years ago, which was the agrademy awards. and i was pretty stoked on that one. everything went really well with the whole night. lots of people loved the decorations, and the program went great too. i didn't get a pie in the face, unfortunately the person who did was nat. she really took one for the team there, and we all appreciated it. oh, so you know, we did a trivia game for the 8th grade grads and the prize for winning was to pick a leader of their choice and pie them in the face. josh was worried that it would be him, but was hoping it would be me, and it ended up being nat. finally take down went great too. everyone was really helpful, and it didn't take very long. we saved most of the decorations for vacation bible school, because they have a similar theme, and are going to use what they can.

i'm looking forward to vbs too. i'm "teaching" recreation with josh. i always loved volunteering to work with recreation when i was younger and now i get to be in charge, so that'll be good. before vbs, i'm doing one of my favorite summer things - taking the middle schoolers to camp. that is always such a good time. i've only got 2 girls going with me this summer, sarah and emily. sarah is my "little sister," and emily is the daughter of your new pastor. they're both heading into sixth grade and don't really know what to expect from camp, but they'll have a great time i'm sure of it. they're crazy though, and i'll have to sit down and talk with sarah before we leave, cause i can see her acting in a way with me that won't work for camp. it is always fun though. can't believe it's only a week away, and i can't wait.

i should probably get going. i think that i'm going to help paint the middle school room tomorrow with the rest of the college group. we'll see how that goes. the new kelly clarkson video is on. it's funny.

smiling.
