Don't go Jason Waterfalls.

Have you ever went through a carwash and felt like you were in a hidden camera TV show?

So, I decided that my car is covered in bugs - well, I didn't decide that, it actually just is - and I went to get it washed. I put in my money and drove forward and it starts beeping at me to drive backward. So I did, then it said drive forward then it beeped again and told me to go backward.

This proceeded to happen at least 5 times, the whole time I'm thinking alright where is the freakin' camera and crew? So I just drove out, talked to the people at the gas station and was like, wtf? And they went, it's touchy, here's a code go try it again.

Same thing. At least 5 times.

Said screw it again, went back in and they gave me cash back and yet another code.

This time it worked after only one of those reverse/forward cycles.

And the car is still covered in bugs.

Cause apparently - according to Kitzworld - Nebraska bugs are on steroids.

This is in the middle of an already stress-filled day off.

Decided to get up around 10AM and work on some homework.

Soon 10AM turned into 5PM and I was like, I gotta take a break. So I went grocery shopping bought Warehouse 13 season four - woohoo! - did the carwash thing and then came back to do even more homework.

Amidst all the homework were 4 frantic camp phone calls and 5 frantic camp emails. My life would be so much easier if people actually turned in their forms by July 1st and then actually went with their assignments.

Camp is in two weeks. My homework is due in two weeks. I feel like I don't even have time to go to work because there's so much to do!

So I'm calling it quits for the night.

I did two assignments worth of stuff plus sent in my practicum learning plan AND got my comps stuff in the mail - ugh, October's gonna suck - plus did all that camp stuff.

This one of those we love camp italic moments mentioned here.

I still have 3 assignments left to do.

But I quit for the night.

So, as a distraction for the crapsuck that was today, here is a preview for a movie of awesomeness.

I wanted to see if before the preview even came out.

We're The Millers



basically he's a drug dealer and needs a cover family to smuggle stuff.

it looks highly entertaining and yes that is Molly Quinn aka Alexis Castle.

Song of the day, well after watching that preview at least...

Waterfalls - TLC


yes i know it's not jason waterfalls but i like to sing it that way.

this video is a lot more depressing than i remember.

didn't Left-Eye die in a plane crash? should they include the plane in the video? does it serve a purpose?


and she's out! legitimate pre-midnight post, holy crap tag in use.

and if i ever see you, my heart is gonna bleed, but i'm leaving either way.

He's not named after a Backstreet Boy!

Leave my poor cat alone!


Camp meeting today with the gang.

I already assigned kids and counselors to cabins and came up with mock groups for the schedule so it went a little faster than normal.

After, you know, taco pizza and ice cream.

What? It's not like we're getting paid for it.

No, we have a lot of fun.

Actually my old Pastor and his family stopped by this morning, which was cool cause I haven't seen them in almost 5 years.

Mom was jealous.

Had to take a picture or she'd kick my butt.

Pastor and Gina were big into camp when they were here and have started their own now out west.

It's like potato chips, once you start you can't stop.


So yes, we're goofballs but we did come up with a schedule, send out confirmation letters, medical and photo release forms and packing checklists, Mentor stopped by and taught us the song, plus we updated the songbooks - well, the ones we could find. We are mysteriously 30 short.

And yes I checked my car trunk.

Know what I found?

Camp J's lost and found from last year.

Should really clean that out before this year's.

Shows you how often I open that thing.

But I don't need to cause I know there's no space for anything else.

Cause it's got all my camp stuff in it, you know? Like my tent and air mattress and fan and a blanket and then all our board games.

And you know, ice melt and a shovel, BUT STILL all my camp stuff is already there and packed!

Which makes packing for camp so much easier cause it's already in the car!

Which is what I try to explain to people, but then they try to explain back that it's weird to keep an overflowing box of board games in your trunk.

Though it's quite handy because I work with teens and we use them a lot more than you would expect.

Anyway, long story short - too late - the songbooks were not in my trunk so now it's a scavenger hunt and I'm hoping they're either at Obi-Wan's place or in the trailer.

Or maybe a combination of the both, as long as all 100 are physically present at camp.


Am now even more super stoked for camp.

We go through phases. It's either "WE LOVE CAMP!" or "we love camp..."

Right now I'm all about the capitals.

Though stuffing envelopes can make you amazingly italic.


Alright, I gotta crash.

Work tomorrow and then party with the boyfriend's family after.


On to the music.

Monday Morning - Melanie Fiona cover by Tijana, Sarah and Branko



they're not bad, almost as good as the original.

plus she looks like Uma Thurman.

give it a chance.
