"Won't you have another cup of tea" -Mad Hatter
My friend Peg and I decided to have a tea party. We decorated cookies, spoke with British accents, had tea and crumpets and cucumber sandwiches, and had the time of our lives.
Don't we look fabulous?
These were our attempts at looking very regal.
Sushi Night!!
Me and some of the girls from work eating sushi at Red Bento.
Here we have Miranda, Katie (my boss), and me. Katie is really excited about getting her picture taken, can you tell?
Me, Emily and Chelsea, our two cute receptionists. Don't worry folks, Chelsea doesn't always look like she's scared out of her mind.
Badria, Kaitlan, and Miranda. They're just really cute, fun girls.

A few Christmas images for you. The snow was just so beautiful that night as I was walking home. It could have been a Hallmark card.
And then our Christmas work party was "A Whoville Christmas" so that was my Whoville outfit and crazy hair. I didn't think about taking pictures until after the party so that's why there's only me.
Halloween Craziness
Me and Kaitlan. She was Batgirl, I was a troll doll.
The troll doll, Snookie, Batgirl, and a clown. That makes for one crazy party.
The day before Halloween at work, I decided to be a scarecrow. Standing next to me are a Hobbit and a clown.
For Mutual the week of Halloween the girls wanted to trick-or-treat for the food bank, so I quickly put my hair in a Mohawk and did crazy makeup.

Cupcake Challenge
So my friend Sara Heslington is a genius pastry chef and has won several cake contests on the Food Network. Well, they did one that was roller-derby themed, so me and some of the girls form work got together and decided to have a cupcake decorating contest and watch Sara on the Food Network.
Our contest was movie themed. So, this is my Willy Wonka chocolate river. Above, we have Nemo, Pippy Longstocking, and Lilu from Fifth Element.

Time for a Change
So, I haven't really had a computer for the last year. My wireless decided to take a break, and recently it has felt that it can once again grace me with it's presence. So, while it's visiting, I can do some catching up. I can't believe it's almost been a whole year.
So, it turns out, I did join Roller-Derby. And it really is the time of my life. I'm on the low contact team, or as we like to call it, Roller-Derby Lite. Our team is called the Palouse Derby Girls, and we don't have as many girls on the team this year as last year, so I don't know that we'll be doing any Bouts this season, but we still have a lot of fun going through drills,and learning agility and things of that nature.
I'm still in Young Women's but I'm the Mia Maid adviser now instead of Secretary. I sure do love these girls. This year I'm going to Camp, my first time as a leader and not one of the girls. I'm anticipating no sleep for a week, sunburn, and mosquito bites. Hopefully there is also room for spiritual experiences and fun amongst the absolute insanity that will be 20+ girls between the ages of 12 and 18.
I'm still living on my own and loving it. Still on foot. Still have a fantastic job. Still learning so much and becoming more and more a real grown-up every day.
School isn't quite in the horizon as I anticipated it would be this upcoming fall. I'm actually just enjoying working right now. I think eventually I will go back to school, but I have some other things to learn right now, and I'm pretty okay with that. Anyway, I'll try to post some pictures from this last year, and hopefully it won't be another year before I sign in again.
