no matter what...spontaneity is always welcome


Homework, homework, homework. I set aside the entire day for homework. I try to get as much done on the weekend so I don't have to worry about it during the week when I have a million other things on my mind. Tonight I was concentrating very hard on convincing myself that I was actually getting homework done when my roommate interrupted my process of procrastination and told me that the grocery store trip run we were supposed to take earlier, the one I had since given up going on, was on again and we were leaving in a half hour. I got my sweat shirt, grabbed my shoes, finished up my web surf and a half hour later we were on the road.
However, on the way to the store, Madison, my roommate, decided that she didn't want to go to Stater Bros. or the million other grocery stores that are east of Citrus, but she wanted to travel down foothill to look for some place new. Well, long story short, we never found a grocery store and we decided that, being girls and it being a certain emotional time of the month, we would both rather chat over dessert than go grocery shopping anyways.
As it turns out we had a lovely time at Claim Jumpers; her with her mud pie and me with my berry cobbler. We had so much fun we decided to make our spontaneous outing a once-a-month thing, but in order to keep the spontaneity alive we vowed to never plan our once-a-month Claim Jumper outing but to instead impulsively cancel our plans like we did tonight.
Everyone should plan spontaneity into their life--it makes things so much more exciting, especially when all you have to look forward to for the night is coming up with new ways to put off homework.

No matter what...


"No matter what!" That's what my dad told me consistently growing up; meaning, He'll love me no matter what. Whenever I did something to warrant his dissaproval or to get in serious trouble growing up after I got my punishment and a stern talking to he always ended things with I love you...no matter what. I knew that I'd could never be beyond the reach of his unfailing love, no matter what I did. As I got older my dad's speeches were so predictable that sometimes I'd finish his last sentence and then it just became our thing. He'd say, "I love you..." and I'd say, "No matter what."
When thinking about this blog and what I should write on I decided that I would write on the things that I know no matter what. Thus, my first entry is "No matter what my daddy will always love me."
