eight miles of hills : conquered

#biking  

Yesterday Eric and Walker took me on two five-mile bike rides and then we went tubing for an hour or so. I am so sore it hurts to move, but hey it was fun!

They decided to launch me because I was the smallest

It’s vacation time!

which means I’ll be leaving my town for a week

which means that I’ll be spending a whole week with Eric, Walker, RW, my mom and dad

which means we’ll all be playing board games endlessly

which means we get to go jet-skiing and boating

which means that I’m happy

which means today (and the next seven) are going to be great!

Like most children I wanted to grow up and be famous, 

but then I realized that I value being invisible far too much. 

Dennis Quaid and Zac Efron came to town to shoot a movie in the cornfields and the majority of my town turned into stalkers. Which gave me a new appreciation for my ability to fade into the background.

Story of a Girl - Nine Days

I was walking through the supermarket today and saw Dennis Quaid

I felt bad that everyone was following him when he was just trying to buy some groceries. There were people literally picking up every grocery he did. That does not sound fun.

1 man. 100,000 toothpicks. 35 years.

I have used different brands of toothpicks depending on what I am building. I also have many friends and family members that collect toothpicks in their travels for me. For example, some of the trees in Golden Gate Park are made from toothpicks from Kenya, Morocco, Spain, West Germany and Italy. The heart inside the Palace of Fine Arts is made out of toothpicks people threw at our wedding.
