A very girly entry.

Filed under: — Kari @

Ack! There was a very scary-looking bug on my computer! I looked away to find something to smack it with and now it’s gone!

[a few minutes later . . .]

I looked up for the bug and noticed a GIGANTIC SPIDER in the window, so I had to go get help. My fearless coworker killed him for me, thank goodness. Spiders cause me to be paralyzed with fear.

Last night at small group I was showing my friends my pictures from the wedding. One of my small group friends was also a bridesmaid, and she was bemoaning her tan lines in some of the pictures (our dresses were strapless). I told her that hers weren’t noticeable, and mentioned that I had put foundation (borrowed from Shelby) over mine so they would blend in better. She looked at me with surprise when I said that. To me, that was something normal (a tip from my mom), but to her, it was a clever idea.

I have encountered that a few times recently - things I think are “normal” but that other people are like, “Wow, that’s a great idea!” Like spraypainting my shoes for the wedding (I had white shoes I never wore, but no silver shoes . . . so I spraypainted the white ones and . . . voila!) and a girly thing that I shouldn’t mention here. I go along in my life thinking that I am pretty average, so it’s nice to think I come up with good ideas now and then (or steal good ideas from my mom, whatever the case may be).

    Dang, I had a lot of parentheses in this entry.

    Parentheses are nice. Brackets are cooler.

    What’s really fun is that WP will create M-dashes and N-Dashes for you. For an M, put three hyphens together—like this!—and you’ll get a long dash. For an N, just put two together–and that’ll give you a shorter one.

    There were so many girly things in this entry that Geof has been reduced to commenting on punctuation. hehe.

    Kari…I always think of you and Lori whenever I see a spider. I’ve actually am graduating with less fear now, but I started crying the other night when a wolf spider had gotten in to my apartment. After 20 minutes, my boot took care of him. *brushes dirt off her shoulder*
