other's Day at the Kinsinger Household--Always a Crazy Occasion

Hey suities! 

First off, know that my compulsive blog checking addiction and love of hearing what you all are up to get me through long, nine hour shifts at work! ( I always have this page minimized on my screen ;]) Second, I LOVED skyping with you all last night; it was wonderful. =D

So my life lately has consisted of:

1. Adam

2. Illini Family Medicine

3. Cough and cold

4. Mothers day! =)

So Adam and I spent a whole evening reading through all of our old, melodramatic junior high and high school poetry-- that was pretty entertaining! It was good just to spend time being a normal couple... we dont get to do that a lot. I dropped him off for a three week spiritual retreat/mission trip/leadership training program with navs this afternoon, and because its a tech-free dealio I wont get to talk with him for three weeks and see him for 8 or so. =/ But this weekend was a blast and we are pretty beast at long distance now thanks to nearly two years of practice. =)

So we went to the zoo for mother's day and I got to spend some time with all of you through the extension of your spirit animals!

Lisa: pensive, inspirational-poster-looking giraffe or jumpy unidentified chimpunky rodent? =)

Amy: So its not quite a domestic cat, but a feline nonetheless--

Sorry Ave--apparently mooses (meese?) are pretty scarce in central Illinois. I did find this attractive-looking cowish guy though! =)

and also Taylor Pride. yupp.

 a real live 'saiboo!!!! =D

So for the rest of mothers' day we made shishkebobs (however that be spelled), Ben played a song he wrote for Mom for mothers day, Weston gave my mom a small "hipster mouse" he made out of a sock based on directions from pintrest, and I took pictures and gave Mom a poem I'd written for her. Just another [strange][extraordinary][abnormal][colorful][artistic][musical][fuzzy][relationship-y] day at the Kinsinger household! =]

Praying for you all; especially Amy and Lisa as you head out on your trips! =D Safe travels!

Ave and Mo urged me to post this pic to the blog!

Someday

Mark my words, ladies.

Someday, I will work for them. MATCHBOOK MAGAZINE.  For real. I have no greater life ambition. Also, look at this gem that I found today.

Things like this make me very excited about graphic design. And Gene Kelly...

Also, watched this film yesterday. Now on my top ten list at least. Seriously. Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn? How could you ever go wrong with that duo in a French setting with cute little songs and fabulous clothes. Let me make this easy for you. YOU COULDN'T. 

Here is a preview of the fabulousness. 

I just really really love her. Hope she is one that I get to have peach tea with in heaven. 

In other news, TWO MORE DAYS. Only two. I'm pretty much all packed, so that is that. Happy to report that Bohnanza is coming with me to camp, ready to dazzle all of my wonderful middle school babes. Isaiah is coming with me too. Hopefully he won't dazzle my middle school babes TOO much. He did tell me that he is going to take me sailing there though. Pretty excited about that prospect. 

I miss you all. I really do. Today I saw Morgan's facebook page and almost cried. That is actually a true story. You can ask my mom. Got to spend the day at Grandma's. Also got to spend some time with Grandpap. Time with him is more precious than ever. 

LOVE YOU ALL!

WOOT WOOT GRAD PARTAY!

My brother is offic a college grad! I am SUPES proud of him--he graduated magna cum laude. Like a boss. We had to stay overnight in one of the women's dorms because my mother didn't schedule reservations soon enough, and let me tell you, we are pampered in our dear fischy-fisch. Communal showers that are like a square foot? No thanks. Slash, let me repeat: communal. Totes not okay. (...Sorry, Mo. You'll understand soon enough.) Anyway, my parents basically didn't sleep because apparently dorms are loud. Somehow I didn't notice...haha. Stew was a total stud at graduation, clearly. Again, supes proud....especially when I finally met his (once again official) girl friend!!! She's cute and sweet, and they seem great together. Actual conversation between Stew and I:
        "She seems really great, Stew. She's cute!"
        * Ridiculous wistful look* "She's adorable."
Awww, shucks. And she told Stew that she likes me, so people points for Sarah! ;) ;) haha I'm glad that the awk first meeting is over and went well.

So I'm rocking this whole baking thing--I had already baked/decorated a cake last weekend for my mum's birthday and baked cookies mid-week, and then as we were driving back (mum and I took a separate car so that we would be able to leave earlier and the guys could move Stew out with more space), I realized that nothing had been planned as a celebration for later...so I casually whipped up a chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache as a grad cake. WHATTTT? I WILL be a baking beast by the time we get back--I am determined! Of course, a rather generous amount of reading just came in for my Victorian Lit class in the fall...so soon I will be buried in books once more! :)

 

GROUP CHATTTT!

Who is free Sunday or Monday night?

Dot Dot Dot, Dash Dash Dash, Dot Dot Dot

Hey Lisa, do you think Amy and Mo would get it if we sent them "I smell bacon" in Morse code? ;) ;) 

Ladies, I've spent WAY too much time trying to research blogging in the past week (it's a way to drown my sorrows of being turned down by the first paper I talked to about an internship, so bear with me). The title is what's keeping me from starting at all--SO MUCH PRESSURE! Here are the current ideas:

Men + Moose + Pine Trees

[wo]man + moose + pine trees

Life is:

Living that Wears

Chemical Madness 

Any suggestions? Strong opinions? Lis thought that the first might be too long, but I'm partial to the first two (I mean, come on, they come from a Thoreau quote AND there are moose included--winning, am I right?)...AH. So, if you have any fancies or factoids that I might use, post 'em! 

 Much love
