that awkward moment......

Remember this post? Where I posted all of the awkward moments of the past few however long it was? Well. It was a hit, in my opinion (and incredibly fun to do), so I decided to do it again! Ready? here. we. go....

that awkward moment...

when you and your best friend are catching up because you haven't talked in foreverrrrr, and of course the topic of boys comes up, and you mention this guy is acting like he may like you, and she goes, "HA. I doubt it."

awkward.

when you realize you're an awful friend because you still haven't mailed two of your best friend's christmas and birthday presents. and it's been a month. yeah.

awkward.

when you're trying to set up the wireless connection on one of your dad's old laptops, and somehow, by doing so, end up disconnecting every other wireless device in the house...i.e.; iphones, ipods, the kindle, wii, blu ray player, laptops, etc....

awkward.

when you tell the kids at youth group, repeatedly, that they aren't allowed to use the coffee machine by themselves, and that they have to pay for their coffee...and you walk in and they use the lame excuse of "i pre-paid last week, and no one was here so I had to do it." haha. I don't buy that stuff....

awkward...

when you're recording music up at your friend's apartment, and their roommate comes out and makes chocolate milk and says "oh don't mind me being weird and all. I know it's not normal for grown men to drink chocolate milk in a wonder woman glass." ummm....no one said anything about that.....

awkward.

when you're throwing a mini-fit in the morning because none of your jeans fit - not because they're too small, no, but because they're too big, because you're one of the .01% of people who LOST weight between thanksgiving and new years, and hasn't gained it back....

awkward.

when your little brother's 15 year old best friend is basically in love with you and asks you to do everything with him and your brother. and then your brother says out loud "dude. she's not that great. get over it." in front of both of you. poor guy.

awkward.

when you introduce yourself to a new junior high aged kid at youth group, and say "hi, my name's ruthanne! I'm one of the leaders here, if you need anything let me know!" and he says "oh...hi...thanks..." and walks away.

awkward.

when you finish recording the second verse of "hallelujah" by leonard cohen up at your friends' place, and right when they hit the stop button, one of them jumps off the counter and yells "YEAH BABY! WHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" hahahaha...um....

awkward.

SOOOO....I hope you enjoyed this :) It was super fun to do again....and I hope it gave y'all a laugh :)

happy thursday!

Go pee now - so you start off with an empty bladder and decrease the risk of wetting yourself. Seriously, folks.....

Ready? (note: the only people who really get these things are the people who are into crafts and blogs and all that....so........it's like we have a cult. i likeeeee...) I'm only giving you some of them. for the rest go check out my "hey, girl" board on pinterest. :) enjoy.

my mom and pinterest.

This is my momma and me.

She's pretty great, and I love her.

But you know what seriously increases my love for her?

The fact that she has pinterest. and loves it.

Y'all should go follow her, btw...show her some looooooove. ;)

Click here to do that...

BUT. 

Oh this is the best part...

On top of all that...she even created a board just for me.

Just. For. Me.

You know what she named it? 

just4Ruthanne.

Talk about epic.

My mom is the coolest.

So. 

Go follow that woman, so I can hear at some point tomorrow "I have a flood of [read: six] followers suddenly!" 

And then I'll giggle mischievously. 

Cause that's what I do.

Right? 

Riiiiiiiiiight.

weekend recap.

I have been such a terrible blogger this week! Meh! I have no excuses, just think I needed a computer break for a few days...anyway. Just wanted to share my weekend with you!

Friday morning my and my brother's friend Blake called and asked if we wanted to go see Sherlock Holmes with him for his birthday - so we went to a movie with him...this was basically the day:

my brother and another of the boys' friends, chris - hiding from the camera, waiting for the movie, and eating in-n-out after!

I babysat last minute for my favorite family - sadly the kiddos were already in bed, but it was a nice end to a long day of fun, even though I didn't get to play with them much.

saturday was mellow. it snowed :) finally. You have to understand how terrible this winter has been for my area - we normally have a 6-8 month winter - regular storms the entire time - last year even amounted to over 700 inches of snow, some of the most we've had since my mom was a kid. And then this year? Nothing. We went thirty days without a drop of rain/snow - which is on the top 10 list of longest lengths of time without precipitation! Eep! So. it's pretty sweet to have some snow :)

I cuddled with my kitty.

mom made pizza - my favorite of the night was bacon mushroom.

then yesterday came around, and it was the best day I've had in a very long time. 

the day started at 7 am. Got up early to get to church super early with mom. she was on worship team.

read this sign - the sign I've read a million times - and it struck me as awesome this time. LOVE - warning: causes dizziness. 

then I greeted for Pam, gave her a break this week. It was wonderful. I love greeting everyone who walks through the doors with a smile. 

after that, I was summoned to help with sunday school - they had no suitable teachers...so I helped these two boys keep the lil munchikins of the preschool class in order. they argued a lot....man.

and this was my favorite part of the day. my utmost favorite. I spent 6 full hours with two of my most favorite people ever, recording, singing, listening to their talent...it was amazing. We got my vocals for "hallelujah" laid down, and then we did a quickie recording of my new song - which I've changed the name to "all in faith". I can't wait to share the final versions with you - as soon as I get them I'm setting up a FB music page. :) These boys are so talented, and I love them both so, so, so very much. 

Hope your weekend was as wonderful as mine - and that your week proves to be great too.

much love,

ruthanne

slow speeds in the sierras

My internet is so terrible right now - so I want to apologize for the lack of posts, email responses, etc, etc. Tourists are up right now - because there's a big storm coming through, and you know what that means? A freakin' ton of freakin' tourists spending a freakin' lot of money and time on our servers, making it nearly impossible to do anything - it's like dial up, seriously.

But I'll stop complaining and be thankful. The economy here is fairly good right now - and that is something to be thankful for, because if that wasn't happening, I wouldn't be babysitting for the contractors building 3, 4, 5, and sometimes even 8 million dollar homes, who pay me, who also pay my dad to do the awesome work he does...so I have nothing to complain about, really!

I just wanted to pop my head in and say hi! I'm planning on getting a bunch of posts prepared for you tomorrow - seeing as the next few days will be kind of hectic, starting with recording (!!!!) with some friends on sunday and then monday and tuesday just being normal crazy days.

Hope your weekend is wonderful - I send hugs to you all!

xoxo,
Ruthanne
