my tattoo

So I haven't posted in awhile. I just got back from Arizona where amazing things happened. But I am sick and tired (gives a whole meaning to that phrase...) anyways. I will write that later. Right now I just wanted to post a funny conversation that I had on aim about my icon. which is my tattoo. haha

yes, my tattoo was rather fresh when that picture was taken. Looks distinct to me, not bloody. haha

I am trying to find that picture to put on here.... it's taking forever....Here it is... the tat icon:

4th and boys

The Fourth of July is a greatly loved holiday at my house. My dad has always loved setting off fireworks and eating ice cream with friends and family. Homemade ice cream, that is. This year, for the first time, we used a hand crank machine instead of our electric (someone broke it...) I had the best job with the hand crank machine, I had to sit on it so it wouldn't move around while everyone else was cranking. haha Then we lit off some fun fireworks in the backyard followed by spinning things and smoke bombs in front of the house in the street. The kids (me, em, matt, davis, & rob) went down to the street by george's house where they lit off some roman candles. George came out "What are you doing? You better not set anything on fire. I'm calling the cops if you don't go away. I am calling them right now. Hurry." So then we walked away, then past my house because he was watching, then back to my house and inside. He called my house a few minutes later, warning us that there were people out front setting off fireworks. haha

So they say, boys will be boys. Well, I do not know how true that is. One of the boys, A, got his bike switched around and boy B fell over and bumped his forehead. Then C yelled at A for hurting B, and A then hit C in the face. A comes into the house screaming and crying and locks us outside. Finally B gets inside and talks to A. He says "A, it was not your fault, C just needed someone to blame for me getting hurt. You did not do anything wrong, it was just an accident." It was so cute. B is the oldest at 11 and A is the youngest at 5, he was totally taking care of his friend (they are not brothers).

Fair

Tonight was Fair night with the family. My dad has started taking the girls (Alex and Jessica) to the fair every year. My bro and I go along for the fun times. We had a wonderful time walking around and enjoying the sights that Alameda County has to offer - hosted at the wonderful Pleasanton fairgrounds. As I talked to Alex tonight, I learned some scary things about Junior high. She and her friends are dealing with high school drama (girl one dated guy 1 who then cheated on her with girl 2 so girl 1 dumped him.) It is ridiculous. That should not be happening in Junior high -- 6th grade! gracious! And then she started telling me about her family life class (which most of us knew as sex ed) and how it is co-ed and next year they are learning about birth control. How did she grow up so fast? And why are girls this young having sex and needing to learn about protection? Ugh. Kids should not grow up so fast!

Anyways, here are some pictures from tonight:

Thug livin - Davis and Me


Yeah, we are related... haha


Jessica sure looks happy


This is the Lauren Wallace picture


We are ghetto in the Dro

Notice my cool shirt, it's the no kangaroos in Austria shirt. I am so cool! haha

a few pictures

I thought I would post a few pictures from the past few weeks (or week and a half). There are some pretty funny ones.

Wearing my beckham shirt for the world cup... even tho I don't even know what team he is on anymore...


Beckham is on my backside


I love Ice Cream!


Crossing our fingers at Woodies on the Wharf, win the surfboard!


I love the racoon eyes...stupid H&M glasses.




The lovely bride to be and her cake


Gotta love the rollers in my hair!


Crazy curls after my perm!

And that is the randomness that is the beginning of my summer... and I have not even put up the pictures of Emily in the pink dress, or of Dad at the Uke concert.

I give her a 6

Said the one of the three preteen boys sitting outside of the library as I walked by. A 6? Excuse me?? A 6?? That better be out of 5. Now I was not supposed to hear them rating the sweet ladies as they walked in, but they are not that quiet and i distinctly heard the 6 as I walked by. And they still had not seen my best assets yeah... or at least not how great it looks when I walk. haha Not that I think I have a fine booty (cuz it's pretty small to be considered a booty), but I do know that I look good when I walk, I just have a little sexy walk that I do, and I cannot help it: it is habit. Anyways, I had half a mind to walk back to those boys and demand they re-rate me at a 9, at least. But I continued on my way into the library.

The library's collection of used books for sale is way underrated. I got 6 great, paperback books for $5.75. These are perfect books for throwing in my bag upon leaving for the pool. A lot less bulky than the Janet Evanovich hardcover that has 3 books inside, talk about a beast.

I ate a hot dog today. Very weird for me. And even weirder, I kinda liked it. Enough said

i hate spiders

Especially when they jump on me

Okay so that did not really happened, I probably would have peed in my pants if it did. But I will continue with the real story now. [story is a little racy, so be prepared] So I was about to take a bath when I saw a spider running across the ceiling. It was brown and had a big body and would run and then shake it's butt (I think he was putting a web down or something). So I throw my clothes on as fast as I can [the racy part is over now], watching the spider to make sure he does not get above me and to make sure it doesn't run out or into a crack. So I run out and get my dad who doesn't want to stop watching the Dodgers game (15th inning, I know, but there is a pause button on the freakin tivo). So while I am waiting for the third out I run to the bathroom to spray the spider with something and stun it. The problem with Lysol -- it is a mist. Hairspray is a stream, should have used that. The spider fell down and I thought he was jumping on me. I let out one of those girly screams that is really high pitched... which is rare because I never do that. Then I realize the spider fell with his web, so he just fell like a foot, and he was probly 5 feet away from me. But still scary. Anyways, my dad came in and killed it. But I went down the three stairs into the tv room and asked my mom if she heard. She said the whole street did. Funny

Stupid spider. so much drama

Ukulele Club

My dad plays uke in a class in Berkley. They performed with their teacher, Bobo, in Santa Cruz tonight at the Ukulele Club. It was so much fun. It was an "Everly Brothers" night and 4 out of 6 songs were sad sad love songs. This one rang so true.

"Bye bye love, Bye bye happiness, Hello loneliness
I think I'm a gonna cry
Bye bye love, Bye bye sweet caress, Hello emptiness
I feel like I could die, Bye bye my love bye bye"
~The Everly Brothers, Bye Bye Love

Well it doens't completely ring true. But it is a good song and I can relate to parts of it. Sad days. This next song (not played at the club, but played on the Carrie Underwood cd heard while I was nannying today) also relates to the next step in my life. This is where I want to be going,

"Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
Give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel"
~Carrie Underwood, Jesus Take the Wheel

heels

Walking around the plan scanning room today, I kept hearing the clickety clack of my shoes. They were the cutest heels ever, little kitten heels, black and white checkers/plaid/gingham ish material, only an inch heel, rounded toes with a cute little tie on the side. Adorable. And I realised just how much I love the sound of heels. It makes me feel all grown up and professional. Not that I want to be in an office, I hate offices. but maybe in a tango club, walking around before I go on stage. Or at a fancy bar, eyeing the room for men to buy me drinks. I doubt i will ever do either of those, but it is a funny thought.

And I just love how heels looks. Some are just incredibly cute (like mine today) and some just murmur va-va-voom, like the black heels I got in London. So sexy!

So now you have something to think about when you hear that familiar click - clack - clickety clack of heels.

chew on that for a minute

Mini Golf

Has always been the bane of my existence. I am really bad at it. sometimes. Especially if I am angry (good job, Jordan, get me all irritated before I play.... haha) But yeah I took a breather and re-focused to play better. I came back and kicked his butt in the second game, after losing a rough 59 to 56 in game one. Jordan had a rough second half of the second game, while I stayed around par. Final score of game two: Megan 56, Jordan 62. haha I kicked major butt. And I learned to control my temper and stay calm, no matter if I had 2 strokes or 10. haha

Who wants to hit up Golden Tee next week? I think I have discount coupons...

Ps the Ville is ghetto. Kids were running all over the golf course. We got to one of the castles and two kids were sitting on top of it and two on the lawn next to it. Weird.

sick

So last night I got sicky and Jordan took care of me. So sweet. I had a headache and my stomach was all upset. I just wanted to curl up in a ball. Jordan sat with me while I laid in my bed (mattress on the floor) and tried to fall asleep. Pushing my hair off my face and comforting me. Weird, that is something I always wanted a boyfriend to do. And he just fell right into it. Like the second I felt sick he was all about trying to make me feel better. And I know that is how I am when he is sick. Guess that is just one of those things that relationships is about.

But what about when you have something contagious? Wouldn't you rather the other person stay away so that they do not get sick? I feel like I would. haha Just something to think about... if you have a contagious cold, would you rather your significant other sit by your side and brush your hair off you face and hold a cold compress on your forehead, or stay away from you for the most part so that they are ready to hang out when you are better? (sorry, big question)

update

I did it. I stayed up until 5 am last night. But we had Lord of the Rings on, can you blame me?? haha

However, about the sleeping in part. I woke up at 11 30. Late for me, early for the Skarbek clan. I read my Bible for a few minutes and then forced myself to go back to sleep. I woke up again at 2 30 pm. Nice work Koenig! haha

life in the Ville....

Victorville, that is

so I am quite entertained here..... it is a Tuesday night. Jordan and I are sitting in the family room with our laptops, as it Kory (the bro), and their Mom.... the sister, Kelsie is on the computer in the computer room.... where else would you find an entire family on computers at 3 am? haha I love it. I am slowly adapting to Skarbek life. Go to sleep at 4 am and wake up at 2 pm.... I am not so good at staying up til 4, I can only last til 2 30 or so, altho it is 2 40 already, and I'm not that tired. But there is no way I can sleep in until 2 pm. That is Jordan's thing. haha

And I am turning into a gamer, as Jordan said, I have potential. He saw how addicted I was to my Cake Mania game. But how could I not be? It is the best game ever, and it is about baking cakes and decorating! haha

More to come about Victorville.... and then who knows where I will go before hitting up Redlands on Sunday

the end

Salzburg is over

As is the Salzburg blog

Now I am just trying to readjust to the States, and all that junk. I really do miss Salzburg, but it is good to be home.

I would write more, but I have a bookstore to go to, papers to write, and a blanket to crochet.

And Em I am so excited for you to graduate... can't wait to watch you walk!!

Random thoughts

So I found there is no good blushing smiley face. There is an ashamed face with rosy cheeks. And a flirtateous kissy face (my favorite). But no face that says, aww I am blushing that was too cute. Because I am not ashamed.

I love my mom's car. And so does Tony. He was amazed that it turned on by touching the handle (with key in close proximity) and that you didn't need to put a key in the ignition (because there is no actual key) to start it. I also impressed him when I talked to the car and got it to change radio stations...

Also, I was having coffee with a friend, and he answered his phone and I swear I heard "I have your child." This was a little shocking becauseI know my parents do not have his number. Also, they had just gone to bed. But as his conversation continued, I realized he said "I have your chai," which we had gotten for a friend.

One last thing to leave you with, a quote from Elizabeth Elliot's book, Passion and Purity (73).
"Life requires countless "little" deaths -- occasions when we are given the chance to say no to self and yes to God."

And one last thing, from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire:
"Dark and evil times lie ahead. There will come a time when we must choose between what is good and what is easy." -Professor Dumbledore

This quote may be about a fictitious battle between the Dark Lord and the Wizarding Community... but it can definitely be applied to real life. It sounds like it could be straight out of Revelation.

My family is crazy

First, Emily and I were called old ladies all night, because we were crocheting. I think they were all just jeaolus of my mad crochet skills....

But at breakfast our parents started remembering stories of their years in Emeryville. Now Emeryville, well this city really had some ghetto parts. And our parents lived in one of those parts, in some condos. So did about half of the people their age from the church as well. But we heard about some interesting characters. They had friends Snotty and Smitty (creative?) haha There was the hooker across the street from my parents. Starting at 10 o clock, a car would park, every hour on the hour. The hooker also had a 16 year old daughter and would let her throw parties. They would get a keg and charge people to get in. Let us see, there was also Red, the crazy hooker on the corner who had huge red hair and was toked up on heroin. She would stand in the middle of the street, so the cars would stop, and then go to the window and take whatever she could. There were a couple stories about the hookers on the corner who would try talking to my dad, because there was no to on his Carmen Gia (however you spell it) - little did they know he was on his way to church.

Both my mom and Katie were given offers to be "taken care of" by strange men. My mom's story is the best though. Some guy tried to sell her suntan oil, but she could only buy it if he put it on... dirty! haha

Oh the stories they tell around the table at Christmas!

I really should have been creative with that last blog

Something to the tune of, Hey did you know there was a warrant out for my arrest this morning. Because, kinda, there was. I missed the court date and if I was pulled over could have been arrested. But I was too angry to be creative. That's another thing. Anger can have a lot of power in me. That is not good. I can get riled up pretty easily. Must be that German in me! Ja!

Ich Liebe Dich!
