My Exciting Tuesday
This morning I woke up at 6:30, stumbled out of bed and headed to Justin's to pick him up for Prayer Meeting. My first one, mind you. We arrived and had a great meeting, praise and supplications were raised to the One on high. Immediately following, we journeyed next door to Will, Darrell, and Troy's place for an amazing breakfast of fruit and french toast. It was quite a blessed breakfast. The french toast was a delight.
At 9:30 I went to my Math class. Successful day. Except for some reason I kept laughing throughout class. We're split into groups and I'm in a group with a guy who always helps me out cuz I'm not very good at math and a deaf girl who has an interpreter with her. I found everything funny, which I think boosted the morale of the entire group. Much math was accomplished.
I then ventured to my Music Appreciation class. Justin and I have this class together. While walking down the hall, the following conversation occurred:
Me: Have you registered for fall classes yet?
Him: Nope, not yet
Me: Do you know what classes you're going to be taking?
Him: Natalie, that's like asking a raccoon what garbage he's going to find in the garbage can and eat.
Me: -puzzled look and then laughter the rest of the way to class probably disrupting all the classes along the way because of my high-pitched laugh-
I then drove to Dr. Gratkins to work. More like I drove to the hospital and walked to the office. Anywayz... They want me to start doing more hours... like a lot more hours. Like come in three days a week! I know, crazy. But I'd be doing fun stuff like getting to work with patients instead of just mindless filing. And I'd get more money. Which is definitely a delight.
I then came back to my apartment and waited for Will to come pick me up to go tutor the kids we tutor every week. Me, Ashley, Will, Justin, and Prevo all learned about protecting yourself from harmful drug poisons in your home. We learned the difference between windshield wiper fluid and mouthwash. It was actually quite educating.
Then Reid came over and brought us some dessert from work. He works at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. He is definitely a blessing in my life and we've become much closer since his new job. Then Kelsey and I watched "America's Funniest Home Videos". I used to hate this show and thought it was so corny. Now I can't stop laughing when I watch it. You seriously can not get better entertainment. I don't know if I was cooler back then and thought only really funny things were funny and now I'm a loser who is really boring. I think what it is though is that I went through a stage where only cool things were funny and AFV was just not funny. Now I'm comfortable enough with myself to laugh when I want to as loud as I want to. Yeah, that must be it.
Then Kelsey convinced me to work out with her. She's so sweet, she always asks if I want to come, and I usually tell her no. But tonight I had absolutely no excuse, so I went. We took my radio with my girls' CD in it totally ready to jam out to some awesome tunes. We walk in and there's three HUGE guys in there lifting. -We sighed heavy sighs-
Me: You guys mind if we turn on some music?
Them: No, that sounds great.
I turn on some country. They looked like the country-music-loving type boys.
We work out for a while. Well, Kelsey does most of the working out. I usually just wander around the weight room looking at the weights and treadmill, but I couldn't tonight. I had to do something cuz there were other people there.
I grow frustrated and want my music.
Me: You guys mind if I put in my CD?
Them: No, that's cool.
Me and Kelsey: It's kinda a girl mix. Well, actually a lot girl mix.
Them: Um... I guess that's OK.
Me: It's really motivating.
They didn't get out another word before "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper was blaring from my radio. I jump back on the treadmill and start off again, totally happy.
Them: You're right. This makes this so much easier.
Me: -smile- Yep.
Needless to say, they only made it through one round of Cyndi Lauper and halfway through Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel Like a Woman"
And they departed.
Wow, this is a long post. All in all, it was a good day. The Lord is good, the Lord is merciful, and I'm sure the Lord likes to laugh right along with me. Which makes me happy to think about.
Hope you all had good days as well! God Bless
Lovin' ya'll

:) I'm right there with you about being comfortable enough with yourself (and your laugh) to laugh as loud as you want when you want. That's been a big breakthrough. Still, the people who turn and stare make that difficult at times... :P
good days are cool.
you made me laugh right here in my little office! good job Nat! The post was great.... love ya and miss ya!
Fun day. I love it when you have days where nothing hugely exciting happens, but every little thing you do is exciting in its own little way, so the build-up of "little excitings" makes it a hugely exciting day. And then you can write about it and share with others. :D
Yes, Natalie... laughter is the best medicine of them all. I, also, in the recent past have learned that learning to smile and laugh at life is SO important! Hey, at least it means we're having fun. T
if laughter really is the best medicine, I just OD'd!
Just kidding, but incase someone couldn't fill their prescription today (medicaid cutting you short), I just tried to compensate:D
Stoller, next time I think you should take your Disney Princess mix into the workout room.
Morgan- You laugh that laugh. Sure, some people stare but only cuz they're crazy jealous.
Luke- Yes... they are.
Erin- Thanks, dear! I miss you too. I'm missing you and your family.
Taryn- I have found some of my best days to be when I look for the joy in the small things rather than when something HUGE or monumental happens. Life is quite an enjoyable ride if you allow it to be.
Justin- I'm so glad. You make me OD on laughter almost every stinkin' time we're together.
Wuthrich- I don't have that, it's Amy's remember? But if I do ever get it, you're gonna have to do a special rendition on Beauty and the Beast song. You know your special solo part. :)
thanks for stopping by chica... i miss you too!!
I can wash your socks, too.
...and when we touched, she didn't shudder at...my paw!
yeeeeeeesssss
Natalie............
I really love you.
:) Sarah, I love you! You make me smile.
