bright

so it has not been hard for me to figure out that i am not the sharpest knife in the drawer. i mean seriously, all i have to do is examine my day to day life and the looks that mark gives me like "seriously, did you just do that?!" well i am used to it but i think others are not. there are some present examples like the fact that i think i am an expert seamstress now and the fact that i think i am good at decorating our house. ha ha. also remember how i tried to be a pioneer and make butter? seriously, who does that. well let me tell you about some past stupidity, oh man. a lot of them involve my bff linnea but i am sure most of them were my ideas since she is bright and lovely. instance 1. when linnea and i were about 11 or 12 (maybe older but i will never admit it), we braided out hair together since she was so blond and i was so dark. it looked cool. then we walked around for awhile like that and then (here is the really idiotic part) we decided to jump on the trampoline!!!! oh my lands the pain. seriously, not the brightest bulb. instance 2. also involving linnea. we used to take sunday drives all the time. and we would always go in our sunday dresses and ridiculous shoes and we would always get into some sort of pickle, like our car high centered and us miles from anywhere. or our car trapped on an icy road with a cliff looming right where we are slipping. then riding with a family also out for a sunday drive to help. the dad of that family made the mother get in the very back so linnea and i could ride in the front. nice guy. instance 3. one time i left my towel outside to dry. when i went to look for it later, it was gone so i stepped out to get a more thorough look. the door slammed shut behind me and locked. oh and did i mention i was NAKED. yep. buck. it was great. especially when i had to climb up onto our deck and in the blazing lights coming outside into the dark from the kitchen, i knocked timidly while crouching to hide all my personals. oh man. however, the look on my mom's face-totally worth it. ha not really worth it but awesome nonetheless. and all of this leads to my current state where i do idiotic things daily or bi-daily if that is a word. however, it is often. my other pioneer experience involves making tomato soup. yes instead of opening a can when i wanted grilled cheese and tomato soup, i decided to make it. 4 hours later, it was bubbling happily on the stove. 4 HOURS!!!!! i had to freaking peel and seed the tomatoes. and it took 12 of them. TWELVE!!!! oh and did i mention the soup was not good at all. mark lied and said it was but a pioneer can tell when people are lying. .
