moody

man oh man. i hate it when guys think girls are so moody- i'll be the first to say we are as moody as hell- which actually- hell isn't moody- it's just one big bad mood so moody as... moody as girls. but.... my point isn't about moody girls- it's about moody boys! man oh man. boys are just as moody as girls. and they have no excuse... although male pms exists. kebby and clay happen to be a little moody during our tennis challenge last night! it was comical although i felt bad for both of them and more so for nick g because he had to witness the whole sha-bang. i told clay he better apologize or he will become the "brother-in-law." she is cool now and clay admits he acts like an infant on the court.

incase i didn't mention kebby and i beat nick g and clay. 7 games to five. then they had the nerve to claim we cheated so nick g said if we could win one out of six he'd be cool. he's cool cause we did it.

thanks to dad i have a pro racquet (or is racket?) (hmm?) and a nice tennis bag- only thing- kebby and i decided that it is more embarrassing when you have the nice stuff and suck...so i better get better.

peace out

i'll fly away
to a dream more satisfying
something so good
i can feel it in front of me

come with me
i'll fly away
and hold you all the way there
i'll show you a new world

a sea of love
electricity between two
i've been sleeping awhile now
i'll fly away every day

"Kebby-ness"

Everyone needs a little "Kebby-ness".

Clay and I had her surprise birthday bash at our home and it was just thrilling. I had a wonderful time prepping for it with mom all weekend and couldn't wait for her to walk through the door and to see her bright eyes light up. (If anyone saw the SNL skit a couple of weekends ago- unfortunately, no lie, that was me.) To see the love she fills in people's hearts is really something that will make you pause and check your own life. Everyone just really seem to be excited with her and was honored to celebrate her birthday.

The big surprise was a super duper cute car that dad did a great job picking out. It fits her to a tee.

Being a little older it is much more enjoyable seeing her hit each new phase of her life. I appreciate it more. I think it gives me a glimpse of what having children will be like...and boy, oh boy, can I wait?

I really think people that have a chance to really be around my little sis will be convinced that some kind of magical thing happened. She just overflows with genuine kindness. So everyone does need a little "Kebby-ness."

Much love to her-
Drive on...Drive on...

creative minds do not come easy...

This can go two ways...

1. Creative minds are rare. Creative people work to feed their minds with more creativity and to always challenge their minds. A bakery will produce bigger and better cakes than before, good writers are current and witty, designers refresh their minds and stay one step ahead... Creativity is a gift yet it has to be attended to.

2. Creative people have to prove themselves and proving the magic in their creative minds isn't always an easy job, therefore great jobs for creative minds do not come easy...

one more cheer for tennis

I think I should give tennis more credit. Clay and I have been playing tennis at night and it has been a great alternative to a date night during the week. We try and take it serious in order to feel like we have gotten any kind of workout, yet we are also silly enough to enjoy the flirting opportunities that arise. it's fun.

ginni and i do the same, hehe.

i hope to get good by the end of summer. challenge anyone?
