death of a vision

for those of you actually reading my blog still... i commend you. seriously. your loyal. i admire that. it's cool. but seriously. you can stop now. i finally actually got online for some other reason than to check my bank account. and i thought why not update my blog. but then i asked... for who? it was then that i decided that when the end of something comes i will not fight it... and so i am not going too. goodbye for now. i don't want to say that this is the end of blogging. but right now i'm teaching. i'm also going to college. and i'm also working a second job. so ya know i don't really have time for all this... but i will post again at christmas i promise so check back then. i love all of you, my readers. you mean most to me. jesse says allo!! i'll let him post at christmas too. goobye!!

all my love,

hair cut schmair cut

wellll.... i got a hair cut and highlights today. the high lights are bright you just can't see them on these pics too good probly. but yeah basically she trimmed it and thinned it out. it all went great just as planned until the bangs. wow. no more. no more will anybody but me come near my bangs with scissors. maybe heather. i'll let heather. but dude. seriously. wayyyy to short. when i said eyebrows i was more thinking along the lines of below my brows not an inch above. hahahahha. yah. not cool. sooo it's ok though i'm not freaked out about it. they'll just have to be pinned back till they grow longer. anyways. there's a semi-normal pic for jesse and a cool pic for me because i hate the circles under my eyes and the thermal cameral hides those pretty good. no smile sorry jess. i'm hot and tired and have tons of packing to do. i shall greet you with one no fears. :) back to work


much love,

ruthy

*sigh*

well i got a lot done today. last day of work. that was very very difficult. to say goodbye to elizabeth was not cool. but it's ok. change is hard. but it's good. i know everything's gonna be ok i'm just going to miss a lot of things. :( oh well.
anyways. unless you want to hear incredible, boring detail about my day and allll that i did, i will refrain. email me or something if your absolutely hanging off the edge of your seat to know. i have good news. my puffy tingling swollen stiff fingers are apparently not from my medicines. that means i can take my medicines and feel better. but then there's the illusive "why in the world is it happening then?" soooo.... hopefully it's no big deal. that would be great. it's just when i touch extreme colds. ice cream, cold water, air conditioning, ice water, bla bla bla the list goes on. so yah. this should be interesting. like the rest of my extended health history. never normal unfortunatly. ITS NOEMI'S FAULT. she diagnosed me with chronic noemi disease awhile ago. chronic noemi is basically having vague illusive but debilitating health problems that for the most part have no diagnosis, an addiction to all things pink and shopping, and a love of gluten wheat free food.
there. i shifted the blame. oh i feel so much better.

goodnight dear readers. toodles for now.

much love,

a bakers dozen

word as of today was that i had eleven students. *gulp* i tried to send an enthusiastic message back to ms. mitchell, the bearer of such news, but inside i felt a twinge of fear. hmmm... occupying eleven small children for an entire school year. i was dreaming of a quaint six. CURSES!!! what makes it worse is that i inadvertantly prayed for this. i prayed that God would help the school to grow becuase a lot of people had said it needed more students. 22 3 & 4 year olds!!! wretched. i was thinking of the growth being more in the.... older age group. not mine. well, anyways, i'll be calling mom a lot. that's a given. and probly vanessa and anyone else who has had contact with 3 year olds in the past year. YOUR ON MY LIST.
my theme for the fall is going to be animals. well the ZOO to be more specific. all zoo animals actually. and a tree. and bananas for the monkeys. it'll be ok right. right. aok.
anyways. so tomorrow marks my last day. i'm hyped. YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!
i have zero interesting things to say. ok i'm done. hahah love you guys. i'll see most of you soon. if not sooner later.
i'm pooped.

love,

my shiny shiny love

Diner

You might have seen one out in Minnesota
Or maybe down by the sea in Sarasota
But they were made back in Worcester Mass
Of aluminum and bakalite and glass

Like a locomotive they were streamlines
And the blue prints were drawn up from a dream of mine
Slap 'em up put 'em on the train
Out to Michigan up to Maine

You may find a diner down in Georgia or
Carolina off the twenty by the piggly wiggly
In the country out of Waynsboro

Or when it's getting late and rainy out in New York State
You hang a louie off the thru-way
And you go and grab yourself a cheeseburger
At the little gem diner off the six niner

Diner my shiny shiny love
In the night you're all I'm thinking of
Diner my shiny shiny love

The cruiser pulls in where the trooper's always stop
As we dine over the chrome and formica table top

The cashier she always squints
By the gum and the bowl of mints
She's tapping her toe
To the Dean Martin on the consolette
Booth service and we're loving it so

Side of fries a dollar
Or the haddock plate two ninety five
A rootbeer float a pepsi
And be sure to save some room for some apple pie
Better make it a-la-mode


Dean Martin rest his soul
Talkin' to me from the cereal bowl
There's a couple from the show me state
Knockin' back a little meatloaf plate

Diner my shiny shiny love.

hello my dear readers. i must apologize for keeping you in such terrible suspense as to my welfare. and here is the news for which you have been waiting for so long.
i am well.
yes it is true. i am well. unfortunately i am very busy. leaving in a few days makes it difficult for me to motivate myself to get on but when esther pointed out that my fan club may be dwindling i decided to say a few words.

COURTNEY - i must apologize. a motorola PINK razr video/music/camera phone has been purchased. THANK YOU JESSSEEEE!!!! sorry courtney :( i couldn't resist. hehe. hey it was a gift ok?? you don't turn those down. AND it wasn't just any gift. it was a jesse gift. YOU NEVER turn those down.

i have most of my packing done. but the packing isn't the problem. its my various appointments and things to remember to purchase and getting these last few days of work underway. and preparing for an entirely different job. *gulp* the children will love me i'm sure. micah gave me the advice to have them finger paint to mozart. well i was planning on finger painting but mozart may be iffy. maybe disney princess songs. or something.

lest any of my smoothie co-workers should think that i have lost my touch, i shall dissapoint them by saying that MARY AND APRIL I CAN STILL MAKE THE BEST TASTING CHOCOLATE ELVIS ON THE PLANET!!! and don't you forget it.

lets see. i'll just make my list now. i have to
finish my application (make it all official)
finish packing
hair appointment
dr. appointment
fill out my rebate form and other miscellaneous tedious chores
call april
buy last minute item ARGH!!!! I FORGOT IT LAST NIGHT!!!! i went shopping especially for it and cursed wal mart distracted me!!!!!
finish packing away what remains of my bedroom as it is to become nathans *cringe*

well amidst these small chores there are unfortunately even smaller details that are very very important not to be forgotten.
at least i got that pedicure in last week. that was great. i think i'm addicted.

what if my stuff doesn't fit in heathers car? then what? jesse heather and i all have to fit. hmmmm..... this is distressing. i feel distressed.
you know what? my phone is pretty cool. i told jesse that i have never owned such a thing. i have a hand me down ipod mini. that's the most incredible piece of equipment i owned. UNTIL NOW!!! yah. i like it. a lot. dad says you can't bestow love on inanimate objects. otherwise i would say i LOVE IT. yah. okie dokie. HEY!! I think i broke a record. this is the most scattered post yet!
ok love yous!!
going to get some stuff done. i really really really really wanted to take a nap but when i cleared off my bed to do so i realized i was clearing off forms that i have to fill out and i really should probably get to those.
curses.

ok. goobye

much love,

ruthy

much love,

ruthy

dopey

yesterday, i did not have the ability to carry on a normal conversation. i will give you two examples.

this is elizabeth and i cleaning rooms. i am mumbling the entire conversation.

r - elizabeth can you kill this bug
e - sure.
r - at least its not a roach.
e - yeah i hate those.
r - yeah. they are always everywhere at my house in georgia. they always crawled up through the drain in the bathroom.
e - that's not good.
r - and i couldn't just crush them and throw them out. they're so gross. i always took a bottle of windex or scrubbing bubbles and cleaned them to death. then i'd try to wash them down the drain but they wouldn't go they'd get stuck. so i poured draino on them and waited ten minutes.

silence.

e - well it's a good thing you didn't crush them. those things carry tons of eggs and when you kill them like that they disperse the eggs and have tons of baby roaches.
r- that's gross. isn't there another bug that does that?
e - i think it's just roaches.
r - oh.


this is jesse trying to talk to me about my car situation -

j - ...so you'd have to take out a car loan to pay for it.
r - i can't do that. i just wanna make payments.
j - you can't afford to make payments right now.
r - but i can do it. i'll figure it out.
j- ruth you can't make them you can't afford it.
r - but i want to. i need a car.(i think everything he was saying was going over my head at this point)
j - ruth you should just wait i'll let you use my car and we'll figure everything out.
silence.
j- do you understand?
r-ummmm....i think so. i guess i'll talk to mom and dad about it.
j- but you understand what i'm saying?
r-ummmm....yeah i think so.

yeah. that's medicine for you. ok at least i really really really really really really hope that it's because of my medicine. it says that these are side effects. so i'm going to go with that for now.


love,

ruthy
