the sunday post, 41st ed.

i wrote something.

then i deleted it.

i wrote something else.

then deleted that.

then i decided it's a picture/story sunday.

katie has this list of things that people should know about her.  and she adds to it when she thinks of or does something unique to her.  i am thinking i need to have one, too.  so i present it with random pictures that are on my computer [i'm too lazy to pull out the external hd].

munich.

i am a horrible storyteller, especially if it's a funny one.  i laugh too hard and then it isn't funny to anyone but me.  [how does that relate to this picture?  the picture right before this of jenna and i posing with her looking all rich and prissy saying, "that reminds me..." in a richy prissy voice, and me saying, "let me tell you..."  I always said that and would tell a story / not really because i would just laugh.  and jenna apparently has a really good memory.]

you will find this hung in my apartment.

taken in a little town with cobblestone streets [looove, looooove, loooooove!] en route to salzburg.

i secretly wish i were a photographer.  but i don't have a good camera, so i'm not.

also, i secretly wish that i were photogenic.  yes, yes. us kendrick girls are pretty big hams.  but you know how there are some people that always look good in pictures?  yeah, not me. not so photogenic.

dana--please, please, please bring your fancy cam when you come up in 2 weeks.

lyndi, i still love this picture.

[i'm pretty sure it's been on here before.]

i hate milk.

but i love ice cream.

if you ever want to buy my ice cream [or frozen yogurt], please just take me out.  i can't have ice cream in the house.  i have never bought a tub of ice cream. ever. well, erin and i used to have ice cream socials and so we did then, but i mean a tub for myself.  i will eat it in like 2 sittings. NO BUENO. so please, just don't buy it for me.

benihana.

yum!!

sushi? not so much.  stir fry? YUM!  i love benihana.

short? no.

fun size? yes.

i tell everyone i'm 5' 2".  really, it's more like 5' 1 3/4", but my mom and katie say they are the same and they are both actually a teensy weensy bit taller than me, so i may be 5' 1/2".  i still claim 5' 2". [and i wish i had blue eyes so i could pretend that dean martin's song "5 foot 2, eyes of blue" is about me.  but instead i have eyes you can get lost in. hazel. ha. haha.

awwww.

when i was 5 i had a green tooth.

[not in this picture though.]

i wish this wasn't taken on my phone, because i love this picture!

i can put down more food than anyone in my family.

and i hate that i can.  because now i have this reputation in my family.

and i hate it!

i'm changing it. starting now.  it's really only at family gatherings/holidays. not like home by myself in my apartment.  this holiday season, i'm just going to eat like i normally do.  who says you have to stuff that little stomach full?

i love this picture for a few reasons.

1. it's all of us cousins together.

2. my cousins are hilarious! and they told g.ma that this would be a really cool picture with a cool pose. i love it.

3. so much has changed: denae had little luke in her in this picture and now has a little girl in her; rob married kathy [love her]; emily has short hair; erin and dana look a little different; mike is a marine; and me? well, that was pre-byu/pre-miss kendrick.

4. erin and i are holding hands. aw.

my family is the funniest family.

remember this?

yeah...i look atrocious, but i ran a marathon. 1/2 in the rain.

and katie bought me flowers.

i ran a marathon.

and i am obsessed with flowers.

buy me some and i will love you forever and for always.

just like i love katie forever and for always because of those flowers.

and i think that's why i love buying flowers for other people.

my mom's motto growing up was "no fun til the work is done." i.e., piano, chores, and hw done before we could go play outside.  well.  that became so ingrained in me that as a high school and college student and even still, i feel guilty if i do something fun during the week or before i finish all of my work.  you ruined me mom. but i love you for it.  i've loosened up a lot this past year. because you also taught me to have balance.

i think buckman is a little bit human. especially when he gets his summer shave.

and can we talk about "fall dog"? now that's a favorite.

and i think james dangers is a little bit human, too.

[and clearly, by this picture, i wish he were a frog that i could kiss and turn into my prince charming. still waiting. come on, james danger!]

that's all i have time for right now.

my head hurts.
