i just got home from babysitting again.
actually, i babysat twice today.
first time, we played with barbies and dolls and her sea creatures.
we played outside {i got eaten alive again.. ah well}
and the highlight of the day...

we told

deepest,

darkest

secrets~!

and we had to be in a dark place or it wouldn't work.
imaginative 6 year old girls are the best people to tell deepest, darkest secrets to.
we even pinky-swore twice that we would never tell.
:) hehe
she admitted to making some of them up though.
one included scuba diving..
"and we kissed...on the LIPS!"
::giggle giggle::

oh man, i have a bad feeling. maybe i'm just paranoid... nah, i'm probably right.. i deserve it. i guess i couldn't have gone anyway....

but anyway. back to deepest, darkest secrets...
first, our secret place was in the tree which led to hanging upside down in it..
then my toes got eaten by the toy lawn mover..
and ate some semi-burned popcorn...
then we went behind a chair with a blanket over it and got a flashlight.
and then under the table with a biggg blanket over that.
marina always wanted me to tell lovey-dovey stories so i did.
it was fun to tell some of the truth and make up other parts b/c there's only so much you can say to a 6 year old girl...lol. but the bad news, their mom came home an hour late and she totally under-pays me. so.. i don't know. the kids are so much fun though... we'll see, we'll see.

i want to buy a new hooded sweatshirt.
a really really big, warm, and fuzzy one.
that would make me so happy.
:)

and i have made a decision.
from now on, i will only be my happy old self because life really is too short not to be.

and i found a list today. it's supposed to be things for a photography project but i think i might expand it a little more.

here's the list:
