i just got these pics from dad via gmail. i had to laugh out loud at the one with dan and i. i so remember those clothes. i really don't have a lot of pictures of me from ages 12-23, and especially 12-18, so this is a good one. i pretty much know that it's a pic from when i was in 7th grade, so it's gotta be Christmas '90 at the farm.
in other news, i finished my frontpage online workshop and sent in my website this morning. i sent the email to the prof at around 8:55am and she sent me her reply at 9:06am, so i guess that means either she doesn't care, or i don't. jk. no, i was just surprised at how little time she spent actually looking at it, although i guess she had already looked at it last week, and i hadn't added all that much, since most of this week's assignments were optional.
so dan's recents posts regarding bicycling have gotten me back in the mood to bike. i had wanted to bike my butt off this summer, but it just didn't work out with all the wedding planning and other stuff to do. i was looking at bike racks at walmart, but they were much more than i had planned on spending for one. i can't remember if dad got a bike for braden or not; if not, we need to get him one. i still have mine from back in '96, when we found it at a garage sale for $10 in Utah right before i started going to BYU. it has served me well since then, although i haven't used it much in the past few years. i want to remedy that. i would really like to explore the surrounding areas of Kent and beyond....Portage and Summit County, specifically. by car, too. we found a bike trail not too far from our apartment when we were coming back from Columbus a couple of weeks ago. it's always good to have someone else in the car with you when you try to go exploring; otherwise, it's hard to drive and see everything you're passing by...unless you like to crash your car, which i don't. i just like to hit large pig-like animals on country roads. it wasn't my fault...he ran out in front of me, and i couldn't stop! (that's another story from a few weeks ago)
braden bought another shelving unit, and our books (mostly mine, at this point) are up, although they still need a bit of organization. he also got copies of our keys and put on a new set of hubcaps on the car. the car has been missing a hubcap on the front left tire since around november 2003, when it all of a sudden came off with a loud bang! when i was driving back to Cleveland from my night class at Kent. it looks great!
i was looking for some necklaces and gloves online. the problem with online shopping is that you can't freaking try it on and kind of just have to hope that it is what you had in mind. so that's a little scary, but i'm for sure not finding anything in the stores around here. so that needs to be taken care of soon.
you all will probably notice a lack of postage in the next few days, probably until Monday, as we are going back to Cleveland tonight, and i really can't be bothered to post unless i'm supposed to be doing something else, whatever it might be. lol. but, i will try to keep you all up to date.
word.
