coach trevor

i'm kind of in a bummer mood, so i'm not going to go through the entire process of posting all of my pictures from this weekend. i'll just do saturday morning, when trevor coached the last 2 games of the season for the buzzing bees of conway county, a co-ed under-12 (i think) team with a great group of kids. jacob was actually their official coach, but trevor and phil did a good bit of co-coaching. they didn't win their last 2 games, but played really well in the first one of the morning, which was super foggy. these pictures are from the second game in which they didn't play quite as well, for several reasons that might not interest the average blog reader. anyhoo, i'll post my halloween pictures soon.

aaaannnd...ACTION!

well, just killing a little time before i go pick trevor up so we can head on down to the hot springs documentary film festival. ahh, memories. that was trevor's and my first adventure together (before we were actually an "item"). i love it. we're going to try to catch the opening film, Homemade Hillbilly Jam, tonight and then we're camping out on lake ouachita (that's watch-a-taw, for those of you non-arkies). i'm pretty excited. we didn't get to go last year. we'll only be staying through part of saturday, because it's katy and travis's birthday party saturday night. how interesting it would be to have the same birthday as your boyfriend...and both libras...
i spent the morning with ashley at saver's getting ready for halloween. we're both going for a sweet look. nothing more shall be said... i'm in a bind, though, because i've got 2 parties i could go to on the same night; one in little rock, and one in thornburg (the one where trevor and i had our first smooch...man, am i sentimental and gross or what?).
oh, and for your central arkansans: wednesday louis's restaurant should be open, and then friday the 28th there should be a grand opening/birthday party (for louis) down there. same location as cornerstone was, but a new name and a new style: reno's argenta cafe. more info on that later (i seem to be the last to know almost everything in my family).
alright, well, i'm gonna get to work...lots of packing to do, and cleaning (to probably not do). i'll just leave us with a cute picture of trevor and me in the early days...

sometimes i wish i had a shetland pony

i mean, really. i think it would do a lot for my life. probably not much for my image (or persistent flea problem), but it could really round out my personality. i can just picture coming home each day to a little pony in my apartment. of course, i'd take it out all the time so it could play and i could ride it. there are even seeing-eye ponies! i'm so tired, i sound like a nutt.

what a week! totally void of school-like things (that is, unless you consider taking a nasty midterm scholastic). monday night was the "welcome chanda (trevor's oldest sister) and sarah (chanda's friend) potluck" in perryville. i took homemade pumpkin pie, made from a real pumpkin. some people say that it's better from the can. i disagree. wholeheartedly. i even toasted the seeds with garlic salt. tasty. tuesday trevor and i had a little "chat" that was i suppose a bit less than pleasant. wednesday was back to perryville for meredith's going away party (moss, i thought you were gonna be there). had dinner at joel's first, which was delicioso. today was the longest day ever at my internship. i just didn't have enough to really keep me busy enough not to notice how exhausted i've been. tonight trevor, chanda, et. al. came in to town and i met them at the flying fish (favorite) for dinner. then everybody came back to my apartment to hang out for a while. i think it was the most people that i've had over here since i moved in...kind of sad. i'm thinking of having a dinner over here or something...any takers?

marry gay men, have sex with robots

ah, it's fall...for some reason fall always takes me back to my sophomore year at uca. i had a really awesome fall. there was frisbee, we went camping all the time, i had a super great crowd of friends, we partied a lot (but weren't out of control), we made our "six lists", i took a poetry class and wrote a lot. it seems i operated on such a different philosophy. in fact, the above post title is a reference to the masterplan that virginia and i came up with. the perfect solution. now, things have settled quite a bit with the trevor man, and things are going to be okay, but i've just got to link this site: throw rocks at boys. it's a game that's easy to get stuck doing for a while. i'm pretty good at the first level, but have yet to get past level 2...it's hard to time the rocks, as you're dropping them rather than throwing them. anyways, it was linked on v's blog, and i checked it out. oh, had i only had this game to play when i really felt that way about boys...what a wise fool...

cuteness factor

so this saturday was filled with loads of fun family time. nothing like watching your favorite kiddos do their thing...hunter's soccer game (their team didn't do so well, but fun was had by all). it's always so cute to see him in his gigantic umbros and jersey. he was the smallest of them out there, but he sure ran his heart out.

and here's lauren frances at her gymnastics show. she's already on the show team at the age of 6, which requires hours of practice each week. it was super cute.

of course we can't forget the ultimate spectator. adding new words to her vocabulary every day, she cheered hunter on "go hunter go!". tonight aunt margie was bribing lindsey with chocolate chips so she'd give kisses. "i want bunches!"

i wish i could upload the video i took of all of them. i'm tellin ya, cute cute cute. if they weren't my neices and nephew, i'd kidnap them in a heartbeat. my kids had better be this cute!
