Music: Summertime - Billie Holiday
'S Wonderful - Buddy Clark and Dinah Shore
Oh, Montana weather...you make me laugh (it's either laugh, or cry and tear my hair out over something I have zippo control over. I choose laughter.). To any SW readers not living in NW MT (that's Northwestern Montana) let me give you a little insight into why I'm giggling like a fool over the weather. See earlier this week, we had clear sunny skies and temps in the 70's then we started yesterday with a torrential downpour with the rain continuing all day and evening. Then this morning...oh this morning...we woke up to...snow. Yes, you read that right. Snow, and not just a light dusting. Oh no, we're talking 1 1/2-2 inches of the dense, heavy, maple branch breaking, lilac bush crushing, cherry blossom killing white stuff... for reals. As a native Montanan, it really doesn't surprise me. We get snow in June and thunderstorms in November. So that's why I laugh. One minute it's Arnold Palmer's on the porch, and the next it's a mug of cocoa curled up next to ol' wood stove.
1. Little big brother Shane (he's little big brother because he's taller then both his older siblings...boo.) is home for the summer!!!!! Yay!! Let the nerdy fun times begin because the Johnson kids are all in the same zip code! Allons-y Alonzo!
2. Winnie Boots. (Ha! I know I'm going to get a "Manda! You stinker!" out of this, but I totes ;) don't care.) You crazy, sassafras lady, you. You've been a joy and blessing to me since the very first moment I met you. Which, I think was when Nikki, Joe, and I were herding a bunch of youth groupers, including you, into vehicles so that we could go to that Sanctus Real concert at the Christian Center. Talk about taking it back a few years! My first impression was "This girl is crazy, and I love it!". So what makes Winnie crazy awesome? Lem'me tell you. You, my friend, have the best most infectious laugh! I can always count on a Winnie laugh during those inappropriate moments that I know I really shouldn't be laughing, am valiantly trying not to laugh, struggling to stifle my giggles when from the back of the room comes a roll of Winnie laughter, and then I'm like "Thank goodness!" so that my snorts/shrieks of laughter can finally escape. Even better than your laugh is your desire and passion for Christ. Your life goal to serve the Lord on the mission field with your nursing talents is an absolute inspiration, and fires me up to start doing short term mission trips. Your "zero tolerance" for drama is aca-mazing. I love it! I love our giggles at things that no one else finds funny... well, except for maybe Nikki and Amber (Word up ladies! Aca- rock star squatch! I got bronchitis. Ain't nobody got time for that!). I love the memes you leave on my Facebook wall, the lovely notes you leave on the counter, and your encouraging/nurturing heart. It has been the most epic blessing getting to be your roomie for the last seven-ish months, and I can't wait for the next year and half (give or take) that we get to be roomies. Love ya, Win!
(Laaaadies!!)
3. It may seem shallow, but I'm thankful for the acting talents of one David Tennant. Why? Watch him as the Tenth Doctor in Doctor Who seasons 2-4, Barty Crouch, Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, his appearances on the Catherine Tate Show, just to name a few, and you'll see why. Plus those brown eyes, the wink/tongue thing he does (yes, it sounds weird, but trust me), and that epic hair are rather swoon worthy...
