to cheat or not to cheat...

so, ive got a moral delema. the other day my boss gave me a little coupon for a free sonic burger at a local burger joint called, sonic. maybe youve heard of it. i dont really like sonic much, i think it is kinda flavorless and boring and dont really find it too thrilling. but nonetheless, this girl always loves a free item and especialy when this girl is particularly poor. so naturaly, i went to sonic and got my free burger. the beauty of this experience was that the girl who rolled out on her roller skates, to bring my food to my car- didnt take the coupon! i was so excited! again, the burger was kinda nasty, but i relished it, because of the free-ness of it all. (relished, not in the condiment sort of way but the "enjoyment" sort of way.) the beauty of this tale is that not only didnt they take the coupon the first time, but they didnt take the coupon the 2nd 3rd or 4th time either! it is a marvelous thing. a kind of tasteless, greasy thing, but i cant stop going because it is like the lord just wants to keep giving me free lunch! therefore, i must continue to pull off this wonderful feat, i may become a fat ugly wench in the process, but i think it is well worth it in the end. what do you think my friends, am i sinful sinner?

grad time...

it is a joyous time in the silvestri household. eric will grauate from college in a matter of 5 days and just the thought of it makes me want to wet myself. it has been a looong journey but alas, the day is arriving. i heard a nasty rumor that the ceremony is suposed to last 4 hours. once again i may wet myself if this is true, (although not in joy) as i am not partial to sitting in a hot gym listening to boring speakers for hours on end. my plan was, as soon as he walked down that isle, eric would get a wonderful job and i would be a wealthy housewife, able to sit at home, cook amazing meals, plant a lucious garden that would produce fruit of bounty. i would sunbathe every afternoon, but never get more than a golden glow. my morning routine would consist of reading my bible until i was completley full of the spirit, able to share my plathera of wisdom with the people of the village. these are just a few of the things that my heart longs for and now i have realized that instead, i will end up going to work every day from 8-5 and then pick up eric from work at best buy. we will cook tv dinners in the evening and on the chance that i get to lay out on the weekend, i will fry my skin and it will peel off days later so that i have blotchy pink skin. all this to say that in reality, no matter what our circumstances, eric and i will deal with whatever god throws our way and somehow always end up growing closer. congrats E, i love you baby!!

daisytara schmilvestri...: April 2006

My precious dog, Violet, has got a nasty habit. in reality she has lots of nasty habits; butt munching, running away with her partner in crime and best friend, bruno, barking in my face and biting erics, but more odd than these few things is that she loves to eat bugs. i know that all dogs chase flies and eat random bugs, but my dog has a taste for rolly pollies! we seem to have an amazing amount of rollies around our back yard and she searches them out and eats up as many as she can. sometimes when she ruturns from a romp in the yard rollies will drop out of her mouth! eric and i try to dis-sway her from these cute little balls of fun, but she just laps them up. weve all had our fun with rollie pollies-flicking them around, and so it brakes my heart everytime violet decides to have a tasty treat.

eenie meenie...


so, this is what it has come down to...im a blogger. i guess i just wanted to be cool like a few people i know, jen, ry, lis, arwen... so here i am. i hope people will like me better now, i hope i can be in the cool club of people who write ramdom, yet amazingly witty things for others to read, criticize and ponder. come to think of it- you four, mentioned above are truly some of my wittiest friends/siblings/bff since 3rd grade. none can compare to the quick wit of arawan, she has cat like speed and reflexes when it comes to the mind, nay, ryan's ability to sound exactly like ron burgundy may trump all funnyness. Lisa, i never knew of these writing skills, it is a river that runs deep...into the soul... jen, my little buttercup, has the sweetest smile...need i say more? no, i need'nt.
