what boys should do.

all packed.
should be sleeping.
but i'm not.
i should. it's 1:26 am and i have to work in the morning.
but i'm not.
& that's ok.
triple shot in the morning will do the trick.
healthy? no.
that's ok. i'm young right? {something like that?}
***
i'm thinking.
-boys need to wear TIES more often. {with the appropriate attire}
-have beards {the clean nice kind}
-Know how to dance {ball room. no bumping, grinding nastiness please. thank you.}
-Eat Strawberries with their girls.
-have deep voices
-have big hands to engulf their wife's hand in.
that's all for now.

Back and at them.

internet back.
yay for writing again.
****
today I worked.
off to IOWA in three days.
finals and Shakespeare rehearsal and some more work before then.
***
i wrote a song last night. i like it. maybe someday you will too. i would like that. ***
So this weekend I got off work on Saturday and left with James and Elena for none other then SHILOH.
oh yes.
that's right.
i bet your jealous.
i would be too.
next time, you should come with me mmk?
ok then.circle of mud in
so we arrived about 5 and we ate, did dishes and went FOUR WHEELING.
Luke drove mine and James and Elena had the other, can we say FUN?
yes, fun.
we rode trails for about and hour.
Then we went back to the camp, across the road there is about 2 acres of pasture.
I drove one and Elena drove the other. We raced.
and then Luke got on the back of mine after we tore it up and then the whole time he wouldn't stop yelling;
"OLIVIA! SLOW DOWN! YOUR CRAZIER THEN I THOUGHT!"
but really...he was just jealous i was that good. ;-)
then us girls got on back again and they made a circle of mud in the pasture.
we tore around and around it...sliding and getting totally muddy.
amazing.

even almost falling off was amazing. i think Luke might have a bruised stomach. i was holding on for dear life.
let me tell you. everyone needs a fourwheeler.
Then We watched "How to Lose a guy in 10 days."
haha and laughed.
then bed time.
then breakfast and a long bike ride in the rain...Luke and James took off on trails and Elena and I found a bridge, stashed our bikes and sat by the river and sang hymns under the echoing bridge. amazing. i loved it.
then we picked the boys "love ferns" BAHA.
so in the movie we watched the night before, Kate Hudson acted as a girl writing an article for a magazine, "how to lose a guy in 10 days" so one of the stunts she pulled to lose him was buying him a "LOVE FERN".....
so maybe you had to be there...but i promise it was hilarious when we rode up on our bikes holding out our love ferns. BAHA.

Then Luke and I walked the trails and then lunch after that we sat and talked and then fourwheeled a bit more. then on the road again.
it was a lovely ride home if you ask me.
lovely weekend.

Elvis&me.

i loved today.
i really did.
everything about it.
***
I discussed head coverings with a boy today. He wanted to know why i wore one.
it was interesting.
***
i blasted Elvis while i cleaned my room.
finished bio while sitting in the back of my little white truck.
learned Shakespeare.
Sang at the top of lungs.
and danced in the road.
***
smashing.
love you all dears.

random tired little blond girl who should go to bed..

what inspires you?***
this is going to be a weird post..i can see it now.
haha your warned.
***
so when I was 12 cleaning up after dinner at camp during my first year of "JR CIT"
I looked out the window at a group of kids laying on the lawn. one of the cabin leaders was what looked like biting her husbands toe. i was thoroughly confused. i was instructed to go take the tables clothes to the laundry room...as i walked by i saw she was biting her husbands toe nails.
i gagged.
but then heard her say..
"WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE...YOU LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM..EVEN THEIR TOENAILS."
I was confused a confused little 12 year old who was completely grossed out.
but the other night one of my best friends brought this story up to me again and i started thinking...{note: I WOULD NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS BITE SOMEONES TOE NAILS. not even my future husband, i apologize dear future companion. but no. i still love you.but no.}
but what a picture of love. {told you this was going to be a totally weird post, it's late, yeah let's blame it on that.}
SHE loved HIM.
enough to love his toes. the gross stuff.
like Jesus loves us, even though we're gross sinners, He LOVES us.
and when you truly love someone I believe you love them with that love,
God's love, AGAPE love. not to say you need to chew their toenails for them, God gave us clippers and please don't that's gross. but you really LOVE THEM.
Love them enough to go to Orchestra that they love. even if you despise it.
to, listen to them ramble, because they need someone to listen.
to be there even when they are awful, and remind them of God's love.
this is so not poetic like i imagined but see what i mean?
love love love. what does it mean to you?
***
on the other hand my toes are painted and i wrote a song on the piano.
my hair is piled in a straight mess atop of my noggin.
and my pillow is calling my name.
***
forget i wrote this post. i'm laughing at myself.
no i'll go dream of flowers and trash cans of love.

Mothers.

MOTHERS ARE AMAZING.
I LOVE THEM.
ALL OF THEM
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.
***
How was your mothers day?
mine was snazzy and I'm far from being a Mother yet.
I made Mama a blanket.
I made my {second} Mother Curtians.
and I took my Mama to lunch today with my Brothers and Sis.
Then Drove Mama to COLD STONE. {She had never been before. it was a must}
I got a hilarious card.
I thank Hallmark's humor.
it has a bluebird on the front and it reads
"FROM YOUR SON" {Which i crossed out and put;}
"FROM YOUR DAUGHTER.
..SO I HEAR GIVING BIRTH KINDA SUCKS...ALOT.."
{then the inside read}
"...BUT I WAS WORTH IT! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!"
with the blue bird posing in a stongman position.
it was funny.
that is mama and My relationship summed up. Hilarious.
I love my Mama. She is so many things.
I thank the Lord for her everyday.
***
I loved today.
it was lovely.
hope yours was too.
i really do.
love,
liv

Today we shall...

clean out cupboards
&
paint
&
scrub
&
sew curtians
all while listening to
A FINE FRENZY
{& other happy tunes i'm sure.}
Yes, I am going to Elena's.
I think it will all be grand.
****
my Amish Cousins had their first baby, the is Grandchild #4's little munchkin.
He was born at home last night, they named him Abishai James.
That means Nanny and Papa are great grandparents. how exciting.
My mother and aunts are great aunts and their aunts are great great aunts.
i'm just a second cousin. It's still exciting i think.
Psalms says ...."Children are a heritage from the Lord.."
I believe that with my whole heart. Even if they are Amish =-)
and the name James they chose is a favorite of mine. it is my Papa's middle name..which means it's 4 generations running now...starting with Papa..
Tommy James
Tommy James Jr. {more commonly known as Tom Jr.}
Isaac James
Abashai James.
I like it.
my brothers middle name is that too after My Papa.
..now i'm rambling about names...just because I'm sorta exciting about all this.. =-)
anywho. I'll stop now. have a amazing weekend dears.
love,
Liv

I do.
Thank you dear!
***
So today was funny...
i went and sewed Curtians with a older lady. it was lovely.
then i went to the church and walked to get a white chocolate BIG TRAIN with Elena.
It was lovely.
except my nose ring fell out...
{This is almost embarrassing, but not quite.}
So Elena suggested I put a ear ring in it till i got home to get another.
so I did.
it looked rad. we had to laugh really hard.
***
now i'm going with Mama into town again. where? I don't know. but I like the car and My ipod singing a FINE FRENZY to me.
