check out my new shirt from SUPERfantastico! and you know what? the shirt is sweatshop free, also. that made my day.

hmm. i tried Gyrid on today, after blocking and drying and i wonder if it supposed to be this loose. may be so, but i am not sure. check out this pic:

it looks a bit big doesn’t it?

here are some more loverly pictures taken while standing on the toilet seat. it’s your dream photo shoot too, admit it.

have you noticed how hard it is to stay in focus when you shoot into the mirror? maybe fuzzy is my best side

i’m in a parking-lot in the middle of discount-store-heaven. next to us is a k-mart. i do not want to go into the k-mart. i can see a super target a little ways off, but my mom says “let’s go in here” and we walk into the store in front of us. inside, i look around and exclaim, “is this a WalMart?!” It is. I run out.

i go into the k-mart and my mom is at the photo counter at the front picking up pictures. then, she walks around with a stub of paper, like the ones yu are left with when you drop off your film, and is asking people if these are their photos, as she seems to have some of the wrong ones, but it is really hard to tell what pictures are what on that little stub. someone suggests looking up the pictures online to see what they really look like. sitting in the turquoise-blue train-station seats in gront of the photo counter, i hear a guy sitting in the bank of seats next to me talking about knitter’s review. i approach him about it and we go outside to jump on the trampoline.

i jump so high, higher than the tall pine (or is it a fir) next to the trampoline. Yet i can see my mom, standing next to the car watching me, and she does not seem very far away at all.

oohh. yum. the lunch of champions. enjoy a lunch of triskets and softbatch cookies today!

as SOP so wonderfully demonstrates, a meal of triskets, cheese and softbatch cookies can make you a happy person. experience this joy today!

it all started with a morning ride to east canyon reservoir. since we wanted to get an early start, we thought it would be fun to go to Ruth’s Diner for breakfast. oops. way too crowded. Hmmm… how about the next place up the canyon? oops, closed (july 5th). Then, there is that restaraunt in the resort, let’s try that. Hmmm, also closed. So it is off to the general store at the resort and away we went with a fine mean of cheese, triskets, and softbatch cookies! hard to beat.

i am not at my favorite resort. i am at another place; i have been to this resort before also, but i really don’t know why i come back. i’m skiing with my mom, at first, and it turns out we are in a race as a team. we’re skiing fast and i turn to go through this last section of thick-looking snow to get to the finish (at this point my mom is not my mom anymore, which is probably good as she gave up skiing years ago) and the snow is actually smooth and i am able to maneuver through it well. then i feel my ski catch and become lighter and i fear that my ski has broken. i ski out of the field, though, and look down to see that my ski did indeed break right in front of the binding. (fyi, had this happened in real life i would have tumbled if the ski broke and there would have been no way to keep on doing tele-turns down the mountain). amazingly, we placed 3rd. wow. we are so good.
