"If I had a dollar for every time that happened in a movie..." Dale exclaimed, as once again we saw someone sneaking into a hospital at night to kidnap a patient.
It then got me thinking of what other things in movies I could get dollars for. What scenes are overdone? What would get me the most dollars? Readers, please comment with your idea(s) of what would be the most profitable to put in the blank spot below.
If I had a dollar for every time ____________ happened in a movie...

I'm not going to make an excuse...
... of why I haven't been writing.
But, I will give you just another plain 'ole post.
Coming home one afternoon, I walked past Joel at his normal spot by the computer, and I did a double take.
"Joel what happened?!"
"I followed in your footsteps and crashed Daddy's electric bike! Give me some skin!
...or should I say gauze?!"
Instead of bumping my fist against his blood-soaked bandage, I got out my camera and took a picture.
"This would make a great blog post."
"Unless I get to it first!"

Summer Plans
I had decided not to spend the entire summer at Kansas Bible Camp this year.
...which, of course, for the first time in five years left me with a very empty couple months in my calendar. They filled quickly, though.
Tim and I will be traveling to Georgia again this year, and I am very excited to visit his family.
My good friend Mirtill is coming to visit from Hungary, and I am so very excited to catch up.
I am going to be sewing dresses for a wedding.
The main reason I wasn't at camp, was because it would be good to begin working. After LTC ended, I decided it was a good time to really start filling out applications. Money is such a silly thing, but I felt like I could use some. I paid $7.00 to get my car washed (After Tim and I realized we couldn't do it on our own) only to get a long scratch along one side of my Saturn!
Last Friday I was out job hunting with no luck. Hobby Lobby told me they weren't hiring, and a bakery didn't have any applications left. I decided I should take a break and stop by the car wash; I had called them earlier and they were expecting me. The general manager came out and spoke to me about the scratch, and was very nice about it. I told him that I wasn't angry, and just that I wanted him to make sure there wasn't anything wrong with the machine. He let me sit in the air conditioned convenience store area while he watched the video of my car going through the wash. The girl behind the cash register beamed at me and asked, "Are you applying here?" I told her about the scratch and then added, "But I am job-hunting at the moment." She told me that it was a great place to work, and let me use her pen to fill out an application.
The general manager came back with my seven bucks, two free car wash tickets, and no idea how the scratch got on my car. I had to assure him that I didn't want them to fix it, and then he saw my application. He sent me right away to have an interview with a regular manager. It was short and not awkward, and the guy seemed really impressed with my past experience at KBC, my GPA, and that I ran cross country.
I had another interview today with the general manager and was extremely nervous. What else could they ask me? I already told them everything. As it turned out, he just wanted to tell me what to expect at the job, and then I had to pee in a cup for a drug test. By then, I figured I was hired. I'm excited about a very flexible schedule, and they're excited that I want more than just a summer job. I will pick up some work pants tomorrow, and on Wednesday, I begin my first day as a "Team Player" as they call their employees.

Interesting...
This morning, my mom showed me a bird's nest she moved from the yard to the patio. She liked it because it was full of colorful trash, so she put it on the patio for others to see. She showed me this morning because it had a toad nestled in it's damp, round hole.
"Look at this, Grace! there's a toad in this nest!"
"Oh no! looks like we're going to have some Basilisk problems!"
"Huh?"
"um... nevermind."
Hours later, he was still there, so I moved him from the sun and took some pictures.

...in which I crack myself up about the Church of the Latter-day Saints... AGAIN
Timmy: So now I have to drive to Wichita, work out, drive home, get all dressed up, and then drive ALL the way back out here for my piano final before going to Bible study!
Me: Ooh! so you'll be all dressed up for Bible study?
Timmy: Psh! No! I don't want to be all dressed up for Bible study!
Me: Why not? You'll look like a little Mormon!
Timmy: Your mom's a Mormon!
Me: Don't you mean, my Moms' are Mormons?
Me: Ooh! so you'll be all dressed up for Bible study?
Timmy: Psh! No! I don't want to be all dressed up for Bible study!
Me: Why not? You'll look like a little Mormon!
Timmy: Your mom's a Mormon!
Me: Don't you mean, my Moms' are Mormons?

Happy Mothers' Day!
This Mothers' day, I wanted to post about my own mother. I decided to pick one small aspect of my mother that I love: her dictionary. My mom has her own personal repertoire of words at her disposal, words that others seldom use, and words that no one else ever has used. Although we often tease her about her vocabulary, this is a very unique trait that makes her who she is. I'm sure my siblings will agree that we enjoy getting to know my mother better as we try to decipher the Alice Page Dictionary.
Here are just a few entries:
Supiy Money - Extra cash saved up for an emergency. The Quechua Indian word supiy means "fart" and originally was used in the Denny family to describe money that one sat on to hide during a board game so others would not know how much they had. Now it can be applied to any object saved and hidden.
Drape - A person who loves to put heavy curtains over all their windows, leaving their house dark and musty.
Chinsey - Cheap, lacking quality
Hoity-toity - higher-class, or unnecessary extravagance
White Patty/ Heifer - a derrogatory term for a white girl
Joelly-Bolly - a nickname for Joel. (occasionally Paully-bally)
Ouchywawa! - an exclamation reserved for when a child gets hurt. Often the child will stop crying and laugh at the word.
Oblong - Not a square, not a circle, not a triangle. Sometimes used to describe rectangles.
A Couple - two or three
