sweet summer time

I'm sitting in front of a campfire enjoying the weather. Pool and sun during the day, music and campfires at night. This is the life.

Winner, winner...

Tonight we went to a little bar to play bingo. Ate delicious wings, won coverall. $24. I've never won bingo in my life, so back off. I'm proud of myself. I can die a happy camper :)

I've been spending a lot of time with M (my cousin). Having a lot of fun with him. I got a new background, still need to make a new header. I just painted my fingernails. I'm watching "True Life: I don't like my large breasts". Thinking I should be on the show. Thinking I should start working out. Getting over a nasty cold. Mostly happy, a little sad. Annoyed that I have to go exchange my phone for the SIXTH time. 6. SIX. That's too many pieces of shit. Sadie is getting better about potty training. She's learning to sit and stay. Worrying about stupid things. Having heartburn. I go to bed way too late, consequently waking up way to late in the morning (read: afternoon). Going to eat ramen. Goodnight.

GTKY Saturday

I'm doing my first Getting to Know You with Keely over at MannLand5. If you want to play along or read what other people have to say, go check out her blog!

1. What has been your most memorable Mother's Day? (with your mom, as a mom, or with your wife)
-For the past couple of year I have done the Race for the Cure. I did it with my mom last year and we had a good time :) Otherwise, Mother's Day is pretty tame around here.

2. Have you ever been pulled over for speeding and were you able to talk your way out of it?
-I have never been pulled over.

3. What's the oldest thing you have hanging in your closet?
-Well, I only have a sweatshirt and a jacket hanging in my closet, so the sweatshirt. But there's a big opening over the stairs (in my closet) that you can't reach and when I was younger I would throw notes from friends and boyfriends in there. I bet if I could get them they would be hilarious!

4. Do you whiten your teeth?

-Nope, my teeth are pretty white and the dentist told me that the color they do have isn't on the surface so whitening kits wouldn't help. Plus, those strips are more painful then getting your toenails ripped out.

5. Underwear or Panties..What do you call your "unmentionables"?
-Underwear

6. If you could go on vacation right now..today..where would you go?

-I would go somewhere exotic (I'm not picky). Somewhere with deserted beaches and sun :)

7. Do you get offended when people cuss on their blogs?

-No, not at all. I actually cuss a lot in real life and I try to keep it tame on my blog. It would seem more like me if I swore more often online, but I don't want to offend anyone.

8. If you had to give up one luxury item, it would be....?

-My iPod. I like it, but I don't use it very often.

So, there you go. My first Getting to Know You! I hope you enjoyed it and I hope that you had a wonderful weekend!

So Self Conscious

Whenever I type out a comment I reread it before I post it. I feel like the way I wrote it sounds stupid and doesn't convey the point I was trying to make, so I delete it and move on.

But you know what? I love comments, and I'm pretty sure everyone else does. So, from now on, no more deleting comments. I'm not posting them for myself, but for encouragement for others. I don't care if I think they sound stupid, they're still appreciated.

Four Things About Me :)

1. I wear my hair up everyday. No kidding, every single day. Sometimes I pin my bangs back and floof them up and some days they hang down. But the hair is always up. If I'm going out I MIGHT wear it down, but by the end of the night, it's up.

2. I wear size 10 shoes. And I just bought myself these puppies to wear this summer (gotta look German and everything)...

3. I have a cat (Lucy), a bunny (Sheldon), a dog (Sadie), and three fish (Jasper, Yellow Fish, and Orange Fish) for pets. I live in a zoo.

4. I could not live without a DVR. I love watching LOST, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Glee, Law and Order: SVU, Criminal Minds, and The Simpsons. I hardly ever watch live tv.

So, there you go. Head on over to Aspire and check out the awesome giveaway going on. I just found her blog and I really enjoy reading it!

Five Question Friday

Time for Five Question Friday! Head on over to Mama M's blog and check out her answers and everyone else's!

1. If you could, would you go back to high school?

-I have only been out of high school for a few years. I enjoyed it, but no, I don't think I would want to go back. I can't imagine sitting in class for 8 hours a day, no thanks.

2. If a genie appeared and granted you two wishes, what would they be? (And, no saying "more wishes".)

-1. I wish I could have my B.A. degree, like, yesterday. And preferably with no loans to pay off.

2. I wish I could magically weight my preferred weight. A girl can dream.

3. What kids show do you secretly like?

-I really love Arthur.

4. What is your beverage of choice?

-Coke, water, juice (except grape), chai tea latte.

5. What is something that you would change about yourself (or are working to change in yourself)?

-I would like to change the way I look and I would like to change the fact that I am judgmental.
