Wicked Sunburn- Rodeo

so basically i got a really bad sunburn, on the one hand it looks rather funny, on the other hand it rather hurts a bit and i think im going to have to rule out some of the clothes i usually wear cause i think it would hurt to much. it all started out yesterday when i decided that i was going to go to the rodeo in auburn. Allyson, Kyla and Brandon decided to come along with me just for kicks and giggles. right after mtg we all came back to my house to get a change of clothes for me and to pick up my car. we then headed down the road towards the other VanDermyden household to get the others different clothes. on the way down we (of course) had to stop at target to look for cowboy hats, i already had mine but Kyla and Allyson needed one if they were going to the rodeo. we got part way to the rodeo and decided that we had to go to the bank (we wanted to be able to actually see the rodeo not just hear it) and after the bank we had to go to starbucks so we could look really cute in our hats with our starbucks. the rodeo was good as far as rodeos go, it seems like it was rather short but i guess it was about 2.5 hours long. well on this particular day it was very warm and sunny and i was wearing a tank top and sitting where there was no shade. not a good idea for one with skin such as mine i received a major sunburn- the first one of the season- it has turned to a nice shade of PAIN, no actually it doesnt hurt that bad its really bright red... at least the front half of me is. my back got almost no sun because the sun was in front of us the whole time so im a two toned person for the next few days. red on front, white on back. maybe i should go lay in the sun on my stomach for a few hours tomorrow...

Annoying Webkinz

Have you ever heard of things called Webkinz? well if you havent you arent really missing out on much. they are basically beanie babies but you can take them online and feed, play with, clothe and whatever else you want to do to them. So at Ben Franklins- the store i work at- and everywhere else that sells these animals is having a Webkinz Extravaganza which means that there are a lot of loud kids going all over the store all wanting the free Webkinz that you get when you buy anything in the store $10 or more. All day i had people getting mad at me because they could only have one Webkinz per transaction regardless of how much over $10 they spent. They kept telling me that they were spending $30 so why couldn't they have 3 Webkinz. They got mad when i told them that the policy from the Webkinz company was that you could have one per transaction. if you want to split your order up into 3 separate transactions so you can have 3 free pets thats fine but we cant give you 3 for spending $30 at once. How hard is it to get the concept- i didn't think it was that hard to comprehend but then i spose you should never overestimate the intelligence of people actually willing to buy these animals.

Now you cant say I don't have a blog

There I went and did what I said I wasn't going to do. Yes ladies and gents, I have a blog. I don't have the slightest clue what will be written on these pages but hopefully you will find it to some extent entertaining. If you don't... oh well no one is forcing you to read it. My life up until now has been a flurry of events that all came rather slowly. I suppose technically that wouldn't be a flurry but thats ok. When I left OR i was hoping that i would find life slightly more enjoyable back in california. what i got wasnt really what i expected but then what part of life is expected when you come to think about it. I sometimes wonder if there will ever be anywhere that i can find what im looking for in life i suppose it would help if i actually knew what it was i was looking for but as of right now i dont even know what i want to do for the rest of my life. I sometimes feel like my life is going no where except maybe in a circle or two and that really doesn't get you very far at all. Circles are good if you want to lounge a horse but if you want to make something of your life, well sometimes you have to step outside the circle into the unknown so to speak. Maybe thats why i have been moving around so much trying to find a place where i can be outside my circle.
