You Know This: February 2009

You Know This - Suspicious Characters

Today, Phil and I did some shopping at Wal-Mart. As we were pulling in to the check out lane, the cashier lady, Angelica (which Phil's sure is not her real name), took a picture with a disposable camera of us as well as a man looking at DVDs. It was awfully strange! So I, in typical Bethany fashion, waited a few moments, then asked, "What's the camera for?" Apparently this lady gets assaulted enough that she keeps a camera with her, takes pictures of any suspicious characters, and gives them to the police.

To make myself feel better, I am just going to assume that the man looking at the DVDs was the suspicious character today.

You Know This - R.I.P.

Tonight my blow dryer of 5 years bit the dust. I think it had something to do with traveling to the other side of the country. Although it could have been the fact that I always use it on high heat, full blast, for long periods of time. Or maybe it just hated me. Any which way, I am very much going to miss it!

Guess I'll have to get a new one tomorrow.

You Know This - Leaning Tower of Maceks

How cute is this picture of my sister Sarah and her boys?!

She calls it the Leaning Tower of Maceks...apparently the nerdiness runs in the family!

You Know This - Coming Soon to a Jr. High Ministry Near You...

You Know This - Slumdog Millions of Awards

And they deserved every single one of them! Seriously, if you haven't seen this movie yet, you really need to go!

You Know This - Pits

Today I had a detailed conversation with Josh Pease about girl's armpit hair. I'm sure he wanted to end the conversation several times, but I just kept going - different ways to get rid of it, growth cycles, etc.

I just now saw this commercial on TV, reminding me of this amusing conversation. Josh Pease, this one's for you!

You Know This - Creative Kick

Apparently, I have decided to become an artist this week. Not sure if it is really my niche, but it was definitely fun! Here are my two favorite pieces...

I created this one on my computer while flying to Vegas. No parallel to the fact that there are birds flying and I was flying. I'm not that deep. Just a coincidence.

I painted this on a 36" x 36" canvas this week. I saw a similar painting in a shop and loved it, but it cost $500. And I thought, "Hey, I could paint that for way less." Try $450 less! Eat it Pier 1!

You Know This - Cell Phone Game

So, some of my friends play this little game where if you are able to take someone's phone, take a picture of yourself, and set it as their background - all without them noticing - they have to leave it for 24 hours. This is currently my cell phone background...

As Luke would say, "Boo Yeah!"

You Know This - Do You Know The Ice Cream Man?

We just got back from a Wildside event called On Location in which we meet up with our students at their school. Today we went to Las Flores which is located in a pretty nice neighborhood. As we were waiting for school to get out, the ice cream man showed up! We were all excited, but not as excited as the two kids who ran past us yelling, "it's really an ice cream truck!" Their mother then explained that they had never seen an ice cream truck before. Oh, the wonders of South Orange County!

(Quick side note: This is not the actual ice cream truck that we visited. So no, we did not get to order ice cream from this colorful character.)

So, Matt, Stacey, Phil and I headed over to the ice cream truck to get a delicious treat. I ordered a Reese Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Bar. As I took my first bite, Matt mentioned his theory that the guy on the truck did not return any of his recalled peanut butter products. Therefore I was most likely going to get sick. If you know me at all then you know that this statement was enough to make me feel sick. So now, back at my desk, I sit here contemplating running to the bathroom to throw up.

That's all.

You Know This - Jason Bohen

One of my absolute favorite students spoke in HSM a few weeks ago. Check it out...

I love it when a student is given the opportunity to relay God's love to others. He gets it. He knows what he is talking about. It's so refreshing. Proof that God can use anyone. Love it.

You Know This - Beautician and the Beast

Last night, I buzzed Zack's perfectly groomed rock-star status spiky hair off! Not gonna lie, I was super nervous! This was the first time I ever cut hair. But it ended up being so much fun. Plus, he looks so good!!!

Here are some before pictures...
