Headlines

Please tell me I'm not the only one who had a horrible Monday? I went to bed Sunday night, with intentions of having a great Monday...needless to say, that wasn't the case. Hopefully Monday is not an indicator of how the rest of my week will go. I'm trying to stay positive and not be an emotional, angry trainwreck like I was on Monday, so... in an effort to start Tuesday off right (and show it who's boss), we're doing Headlines!!

Two Truths & a Lie Reveal

Hey y'all! As promised, here is the Two Truths and a Lie Reveal. Nobody guessed the lie!
1. I went to Clown Camp. TRUE.When I was little, I went to a camp called Camp FunnyBone. At this camp, they taught your magic tricks, intro ventriloquism, juggling, and the art of clowning. Unfortunately, this was back in the day when everyone used disposable cameras, so there is absolutely no telling where the photo proof might be... 2. I was once burned with cinnamon extract flavoring. TRUE.If you're not familiar with cinnamon extract flavoring, it's a bottle of liquid that people use when cooking (my mom used it to make hard candy every Christmas). The liquid is very potent and will burn your nose if you inhale a lot (sniffers beware). Anyways, back to the story...when I was little (we're talking toddler age), my mom put a bottle of the flavoring in the buggy with me and the next thing she knew I had it open and was screaming bloody murder. What she hadn't realized is that there was no seal on the bottle and I was able to easily get it open. She immediately started trying to wipe the liquid off of me and even went so far as to put my hands in her mouth to get it off. Needless to say, she was livid that the bottle wasn't sealed properly (and I believe she even called the company and complained). Fast forward a few years...I notice a round burn mark on my foot and we couldn't figure out where it had come from; finally, we realized that the burn mark was from the cinnamon. The burn was in the shape of a circle because it had leaked through a buckle hole on my shoe. Not many people can say they were burned by a cooking ingredient! haha
3. I have been interviewed on television. FALSE.While I have been on television (in the Today Show audience), the radio (a PR interview for work), and jumbotrons (playing a game where I fell on my a$$ in front of thousands of people), I have never been "interviewed" on television. No 15 minutes of fame for me yet--it's okay, I'd hate to be one of "those" people that gets interviewed after a natural disaster or crime. I swear, they pick the most ghetto people!

Thanks to everyone who participated! Hope you'll link-up again next month!

Awkward & Awesome Thursday

AWKWARD

Looking over to see people climbing this tower. I'm so glad that's not my job!

Having to show Andrew how to read an ultrasound.

Getting a text from my mom asking what in the world this was.
From the picture I thought it was an alligator, so I ran outside...only to find a 6 inch lizard.
CAUTION: Objects in photos are smaller than they appear.

I tried MULTIPLE times to get a picture of this dude for y'all, and this was my best shot. *sigh*

AWESOME

It's a girl!! Andrew and Cassie are giving me another niece!
Every time my mom tells someone she's going to have a new grand baby, they automatically assume I'm the pregnant one. WTF?! H-E-double hockey sticks no!

Lemon cookies from City Bites. AH-mazing.
Good thing I don't claim to be a food blogger, since I ate half of the cookie before I even thought about taking a picture...

I got this awesome box of products to review from Influenster!
(more on that later)

My lunch consisted of a sandwich and a fruit bar. That counts as a balanced meal...right?
Oh wait, who am I kidding? I never eat balanced meals.

Taking the kids to the Museum. They LOVED the dinosaurs!

A well-deserved lunchtime pedicure. There's just nothing better...

Because this post is already so long, I'll reveal the answers to my Two Truths and a Lie Tuesday post this weekend. Make sure you come back!
