Slumber Party!

On Friday night the occupants of 2312 did something really fun. Let me paint the picture....

3 mattresses in the kitchen.

6 girls vying for a place to sleep.

3 of the girls in footie pajamas.

1 small Christmas tree lit up in the corner.

5 strands of colored Christmas lights twinking from the window.

Dozens of paper snowflakes dangling from the ceiling.

6 fortune tellings.

1 attempt of murder (Ariel didn't like my singing).

1 bedtime story told by Amanda in which a princess named Catherine, whose friends were paid to spend time with her, makes friends with a peasant girl named Rachel from the edge of Pauperville. They are almost eaten by the witch Amanda but are saved by lovely girls named Ariel, Bridget, and Kate. They all get married (to whom I cannot say) and live happily ever after.

That story basically sums up our apartment.

How did I get so lucky with my roommates?

Look Mom!

I wore tights to church. No bare legs to speak of.

Equal Love

This post is dedicated to the love I have for my sister Rebecca Weiler Burningham. I love her just as much as Caroline. I enjoy going to work because she's there. I am going to miss her when she leaves. I enjoyed seeing her on Wednesday while I was trying to give blood. Unfortunately she had had a bad day. I bought her a Jamba Juice (actually Dad did. Thanks Dad). Then we went and looked at earrings in the ever expensive craft and floral store in the Wilkinson Center. It's always fun to see her on campus and I'm glad she is here because I love her. Just as much as Caroline.

C-Gull Fly, C-Gull Run

I've posted about this before but here it is again. My little sister, Caroline (aka C-Gull), is a runner. She made it onto the All-State team as a freshman, and this weekend she is traveling to California to participate in the Footlocker race which includes runners from a majority of the western states. Good luck CJ!

Puerto Vallarta 2009. Classic V-sit competition that none of us can do. We blame the Weiler legs.

No one, that is, except my mom.

Yes, I am grateful that I am happy.

Sweet Dreams

I think it's funny that people can fall asleep in the bathroom.



Reminds me of this

Does Disney have a Heart of Darkness?

Watch the following clip.

All AP English students of Skyline High 2009-2010 (as well as all those who have ever read a certain Joseph Conrad book): listen to Tantor, the elephant, at 0:20. Sound familiar? Let me remind you that the clip takes place in AFRICA.

I'm still looking around for a glimpse of squirrels on stakes...
