You don't have to be sad anymore, single person. Overstock has you covered. Just don't turn over in the middle of the night, especially if you have night terrors.

One More Reason to Love Coffee

Honey Crisp Apples

They are the best type.

It's not even debatable.

New Low...

For some reason, I am a magnet for pranks. I have a couple theories as to why this is, but no concrete reason... I think the simple fact that I work with high school students for a living explains enough. As a "prank magnet"...
I've had my yard tee-peed countless times. Oh, and forked once too.
I've had my car painted 10+ times.
I've found human poop on a plate in my driveway.
My house has been decorated with lights/balloons/streamers more than once.
My toilet seat has been saran-wrapped.
My bedroom was once filled up with hundreds of balloons.
Shall I go on?
I tell myself, "Polly, this is the way kids show love..." I can usually take it in stride, clean up the damage and move on with my life.


That was until this one...

The pranks have hit a new low.

I should inform The Crossing that they didn't include this in my job description.

I can't stop laughing at this...

Brrr...

It's butt-cold outside.

This morning, I had to walk my dog at 6:15am before bible study. When it's cold, my eyes water. On this particular morning, the tear from my left eye FROZE! It kinda locked my bottom and top eye lashes together. It was a new experience for me.

I mean, really?

Tonight, as I pulled into the Wilson's parking lot, I was we met with a long line of cars waiting for a parking spot. "Wow, busy night at the gym..."

As I evaluated the situation a bit more, I realized that there was one car waiting, flashers on, holding up traffic, so they could get a close parking spot.

I mean, it's pretty critical to have the shortest walk possible to the indoor treadmill, where you will get a good walk in, right?

Jeez.

Babysitting Moments

I babysat a few days ago. It is a four year old boy named Luke. When Luke showed up the most important thing he wanted me to know was that he brought a screwdriver. I didn't think this would affect our time so I responded with excitement. Little did I know that this pink handled screwdriver would accompany us every where we went. We could only walk 1 or 2 minutes before I would hear, "Can you wait for me?" He would proceed to crouch down and viciously dig a hole with this screwdriver. It was pretty entertaining.

Another highlight of our time worth mentioning was at the play ground. Luke wanted me to hold him and assist him swinging from the monkey bars. What he didn't mention was that he had gas. Apparently the swinging made him tense up and unleash multiple farts 1 foot from my head.

As funny as this was, it was topped off when he had to go "poopy" back at my house. He said he didn't need any help, so I believed him. After a few minutes in the bathroom, I hear a proud shout of "I'm done!" He didn't come out so I assumed (correctly) that he was waiting for me to come in. I opened the door and there Luke is on all fours, butt facing me, waiting to be wiped. It's hard to keep your composure in moments like this but I think I did my best as I fulfilled babysitting duties.

There were some other funny moments in our time but the most precious was towards the end. We were sitting quietly outside, munching on some goldfish. Luke was peacefully fixated on the sky. After a few moments of silence and looking at the clouds, he sincerely asked me, "How are going to get up there?"

A four year old left me speechless and smiling.

Cliffnotes

Has it really been since November 15th since I last posted? Woops.
Well here are some cliffnotes of the life of PDrove.

Slumdog Millionaire
Best movie I have seen in a long long time. We took an adventure into the Ragtag for the first time ever last night! It's a great place! Comfy seats, glass of wine, cozy environment- you can't go wrong.

Beautician in the Making
That's right- I have begun to explore my secret ambition- being a hair stylist. Well not so much a stylist. A hair cutter. In the past week, Jeanna and Austin have trusted me with their "dos." No horror stories yet. Anyone want to be a guinea pig for me? It's free!

Current Book: Three Cups of Tea
So far I give it a 7.5. It's interesting but not so much a page turner. I'm excited to start the Twilight series though.

Senior High
It's been pretty slow lately. Getting back in the swing after break, but it is a season where there just isn't much going on. I am kinda making up projects rather than trying to keep up. It's funny how sometimes this job sucks up my all my emotional energy and life and other times I don't feel like I have a job.

New Years Eve
Got to be with The Council! It is a rare occasion when the BFF's are all in the same place. Chicago, St. Louis, South Korea, and Columbia rarely intersect. Glad we made it happen.

Musical Choices
After moving on from "Fourth Circle" by Enter the Worship Circle, I have found myself drawn to Iron and Wine. It is gentle yet intriguing. However, the all time favorite song right now is my lady Beyonce "Single Ladies."

What's a girl to do?
This coming week, Emily Camp is still traveling the world, Jeanna is heading to Europe, and Austin is heading to Jamaica. So pretty much the people I see and spend 80% of my time with are out of the country. Anyone want to hang?
