For No Good Reason

Here's a photo of some birds I met at the Servion Zoo the other day. I named them Fran and Freba. They are always the best dressed ladies in church on Sunday. You should see their Easter hats. 

And this is Walter, my ostrich pal. Sassy fellow. Gave me attitude for taking his picture. 

Also, found this little survey in an unfinished blog post. Fill in after the bold words.

1. I want someone to give me flowers just because. Peonies and ranunculus, in case you need ideas.
2. I love drying my hair in the sun after a shower. But only in the summer, otherwise that's stupid.
3. People would say that I'm into cage fighting. And they would be completely and utterly wrong.
4. I don't understand why people think reality tv shows are a good idea. If I were a hot mess of a train wreck, I'd want to be a hot mess of a train wreck in the peace and quiet of anonymity.
5. When I wake up in the morning, it's usually because the cat is outside mewling loudly to be fed. Cat, meet my slipper.
6. I lost my balance going down some stairs yesterday. I am a rainbow coalition of bruises.
7. Life is full of disappointment but it's how we deal with it that makes all the difference.
8. My past is not very sordid. What a shame for my future biographers.
9. I get annoyed when the neighbor's rooster crows loudly and repeatedly during the day. Rooster, meet my other slipper.
10. Parties are better when I'm there. also better with Chex Mix.
11. I wish I were more coordinated. It's embarrassing for people to watch me play sports. Kind of like if a giraffe did a cartwheel: awkward and painful.
12. Dogs are unfailingly loyal. I'd trade my friends in for one. Joking.
13. Cats is a disturbing musical when you stop & think about it. I try not to because I enjoy belting out the show-stopping hit "Memory" whenever I can.
14. Tomorrow is a gift; a privilege not a promise.
15. I have low tolerance for coffee. and mushrooms.
16. I'm totally terrified of roller coasters. and mice.
17. I wonder why some girls think leggings are acceptable as pants. It's like, hello, your thighs called and they're embarrassed to be out in public like this.
18. Never in my life have I been part of a flash mob. But that doesn't stop me from dreaming.
19. High school was a tumultuous adventure. had a ton of friends, moved, had no friends, had a really ugly lunch box, ditched the lunch box, made friends, graduated. And, scene.
20. When I'm nervous I drink like a camel.
21. One time at a family gathering me, my sister, and all my female cousins put on a play about bubblegum. I wore a bathing suit for some reason.
22. Take my advice: be careful when you're going down the stairs. Seriously.
23. Making my bed is freakishly easy in Europe as there is never more than a duvet on top. Does that mean I do it? No.
24. I'm almost always wearing pants.
25. I'm addicted to chocolate and sarcasm. It's a problem.
26. Maybe I should write a real blog post sometime.

Just for your enjoyment, I give you one more photo of a zoo friend, Bernice the Alligator. Girl was cracking herself up. Which obviously, was cracking me up.

  2. YOU are amazing. I love you girl...think of you often on the other side of that big pond and all the land in between. Wish I could take a proper college spring break and spend it in Switzy! Sadly I will likely spend it working, and doing school work and other very exciting things...

  3. whew, this post was very reassuring. Next time you want to slide down the stairs, don't. Also, funny you should mention the lunch box. Spencer took a new old-style metal one to school today with SpongeBob on it. Well, he said some kids made fun of it, but he's decided to use it again tomorrow because "who cares what they say? it's just a lunchbox! I like it and that's all that matters." Anyhoo, it's all about attitude, as in #7. :D xoxo

  4. Just tell Spencer, when you grow up and have a job...you can bring whatever kind of lunchbox you want and people won't say a word!!

  5. - Walter needs a better hat. Also a some plastic surgery to cut down on that neck. And he needs to stop getting his hair cut so short. It.Just.Doens't.Do.Much.For.Him.
