Resolutions?

Since today is New Year's Eve, I suppose I should have a list of resolutions (like most people).

EPIC FAIL...

I have no list.  

Not because I don't want to improve myself, but because I don't believe in resolutions.

People always seem to get wrapped up in the New Year's Resolutions at first, then they lose interest in them by March.   

Not to mention the fact that what seems important to change this year might be the least of your worries next year.  Bigger, more important things might come along that should be addressed first.  

So, instead of talking about resolutions, I'm going to talk about things that happened this year:

I worked at a law firm

I started teaching piano lessons

I learned how to weld

I went to my first NHL game

I bought a new Coach purse

I got my first "thinking of you" flowers

I showed all the men up at the gun range

I had heart surgery (I don't recommend you try that one--it's HORRID)
I threatened a nurse
I had my first experience with catheters (again, I don't recommend it)
I immediately started work two days after surgery (huge mistake)

I turned 21

I got a new Coach purse

I dyed my hair brown

I went to Jamaica
I got hit on by creepy Jamaicans

I watched EVERY episode of "The Office"

I went to Nashville to see Erin

I got a new diamond ring

I became a foster mom

and

I graduated college



Whew! I think that's it, but I'm sure I'll think of more things and add them later! ha ha

Happy New Year!

Until next time,

Awkward & Awesome Thursday, Edition 1

I've decided to start a new blog series called "Awkward & Awesome Thursday" since my 30 Posts of Truth series is fixing to end.  

I got the idea from another blog, which I religiously read.  

Awkward: 

1. The word awkward...it took me forever to learn how to spell it correctly! ha ha

2.  The way my dog chews on my underwear.  Can you say disgusting? 

Needless to say, my new underwear are now on lockdown.
What's even more awkward is when someone shows up at your door and you didn't realize the dog had your underwear laying all over the living room. AWKWARD! ha ha

3.  Skirt wedgies--you know you've seen them.  

There is a girl who sits in front of me at church who always gets them.  

4.  The inevitable PDA couple.
You'd think you could go to at least one movie without sitting next to one of these couples, but no such luck.

Awesome:

1.  The way you feel when you buy new jewelry or a Coach purse (unless you're a guy--if you get giddy like a little school girl at the thought of this--you might be gay).

2.  When a 3 month old baby laughs at you.  Just warms your heart :)

3.  When you find money in a coat pocket from the previous winter, or find a stash in your car.

4.  Wii Zumba.
It's an amazing workout! I did a belly dance and salsa last night. lol

Until next time,

Headlines, Edition 3

One of my friends works the return counter at Wal-mart and she posted this picture on facebook.  

I wonder why someone would return this shirt? 

Definitely headlines material!

You have to look very closely to get it--it took me a little while. lol

Until next time,
