the zoo, doctors and slap bets


Yesterday was one of the best days of my life. Mostly because any day that I get to go to the zoo ranks pretty high. We scheduled a trip for Kindergarten and 1st graders to go to the zoo and play in the water rings at centennial olympic park. Only 4 kids showed up. Mostly b/c a lot of moms don't want to let their babies go to ATL with a bunch of (very responsible) college students and a few other adults. So it was 2 adults for every kid. We did have tons of fun. I will say that from recent experience, the Denver zoo is far superior to the one in atlanta, but the atlanta zoo does have a petting zoo. We ate lunch at turner field and then went to the park. There were tons of kids playing in the water rings and great times for everyone.

Today was a little more interesting. Our whole staff is pretty much sick. We all have sinus infection kindof stuff. This wouldn't be that big of a deal except that we're leaving to take the 6th graders on a mission trip to Mexico on Saturday, so getting better is a big priority. None of us has any money, so we called a few people in the church and get invited to this doctor's office in Roberta. If you don't know where that is, neither do I, but it's about 30 minutes away. So we show up to this tiny office in a 15 passenger van (but there are only 6 of us) and tell the woman at the desk to not even worry about the insurance info b/c we aren't paying. after the doctor looks at all of us one by one, he decides that we are just passing around a virus and gives us our medicine on the spot. I don't know what it was but we were all loopy for a few hours after that, but not quite as snotty.

On the way home, someone decided that Will needed to wax his legs. Chris of course bet him that he wouldn't do it and the slap bet was born. And once things get started with the interns, they don't stop. We ended up making a night of it. We made peach ice cream and then all participated in waxing Will's legs. It is gross. Nothing will ever convince me that waxing my legs is worth it.
1. It's sticky
2. It hurts
3. You have to let your hair grow out to 1/4 of an inch before you can wax again. I mean why would you ever do that if you had to have hairy legs for an entire week every month. I'll just stick to shaving thanks.

I love playing!

So this summer, Walter and I are in charge of Kindergarten and 1st grade sunday school. This means that we can pretty much do whatever we want b/c most of the sunday school teaching books stink. The topic this week is that "God wants you to do your best." The story that the book put with it was about the Israelites building the Tabernacle. This is perfect b/c last week we were talking about how fun it would be to build a tent in sunday school! So we're gonna do it! If anyone's got any suggestions for building a tent/fort, holler! And speaking of the kids we hang out with... I'll just say that some of them are funny. I mean, I've never seen so many kids with bags, cell phones, and shoes nicer than mine!

just do it

I've been talking about cutting my hair for weeks. So thursday morning I woke up and decided I would do it. It took about five minutes and it was free... I don't think I'm ever paying for another haircut again. Kidding. I did a good job, but I don't think I could ever do it any different than this.

Lauren's birthday was last week so a few people came up to athens tonight to celebrate. We had dinner at Speakeasy and then went downtown for a while. We had a great time! Going out in Athens is weird for me though because I don't really live here anymore so every time might be the last time. If you know me at all, you know that I can't drink until september, so I've been DD for the past 6 months. I love it and here's why.

1. It's a nice thing I can do for my friends

2. Being in bars and not drinking gives a very different perspective on what's going on

3. It's an excuse not to accept drinks from random guys who want to buy them for me

4. It really makes me want to have more outdoor interests and hobbies so I don't have to do that all the time

Here's why I can't wait for September:

1. It's hard to participate in enjoying Craig's brewing

2. I really miss wine
