Hm.

...Something to Think About...

1. I'm going to grow up and open an Asian restaurant. I'll name it "Wok This Way."*

2. Then I'll open a clock store next to it. I'll name it "Tok This Way."*

3. Is it okay to not use your blinker if you are in the turn-only lane?

4. I compulsively smell the inside of books. There's something about the ways they smell that I just love! So you can imagine the fun I had at Barnes & Noble today...

5. Does anyone else think that McDonald's smells like childhood? I walked into a McD's for the first time in a long time, & the smell of it instantly took me back to Central Mall in Texarkana... specifically to the corner by Sears where there used to be a McD's.

6. It's okay to secretly pretend that being at the front of the line when the light turns green is really being at the front of the line when they wave the flag at the Daytona 500. On your mark...

7. I hardly ever eat the very last bite of a burger or a sandwich, or anything that is in any form similar to a burger or sandwich. Don't ask me why, because Idk. I just dk.

8. I thought of a quote today & it made me laugh:
"Apparently she hit some lady that stopped on the interstate."
"What was an old lady doing walking down the interstate?!"

9. If numbers 1 & 2 didn't make you think of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way," then I apologize for being too witty for ya. ;)*

10. It's Monday. Which means one thing: Gossip Girl (I actually just typed #GG... #toomuchtwitter?) It's calling my name.

"You know you love me, xoxo"


*I wish I could take credit for that idea, but unfortunately I can't. I read it on twitter a long time ago: @davebarnesmusic. However, I think it's brilliant & funny all the same :)

TGIThursday

TGIThursday, because that means tomorrow is Friday!! :) I've got a few interesting stories for you from this past week:

1. My phone bill last month was a little more than I had expected, and that's an understatement. So I went in to Verizon on Tuesday to check that out & look for mistakes. Records show that I did indeed go over my minutes by a WHOLE LOT. Sweet. (Tori Tedford, I need to add you to my "Friends & Family 5" because your number was all over that call history like white on rice!) Anyway... to the interesting part... There was a couple in there who was checking out next to me (they looked about 18-20 years old). All of a sudden, the boy runs out of the store to get in his girlfriend's car and chase after whoever had just stolen his truck right out of the Verizon parking lot! Right there! Idiot. Makes me wonder if the boy had left it unlocked &/or with the keys in it... that's just asking for someone to take your car!

2. I forgot to mention in my last post that 2 of my best friends have recently gotten engaged!!! This is huuuge news! I am beyond happy for them, & I can't wait for the festivities to begin-- showers, parties, etc. I'm also really excited to be a bridesmaid for both girls! I went from never being a bridesmaid to having 2 gigs within 2 or 3 weeks! I can't wait!! If I had any talent at it, I would be a wedding planner. That's gotta be such a fun job!

3. A few things you [probably] do not know about me:

i. I love the Progressive & Geico commercials. I especially love the Geico commercial where the boss wants to do the little exercise called "I fall and you catch me." It's hilarious! Click here to see it.
ii. I like a good cry every now & then... it makes me feel refreshed!
iii. I love picture messages! I like to send them & I like to receive them. So it only makes sense that I like when people post twitpics.
iv. I haven't read Cosmo magazine in over a year... possibly a year and a half, two.
v. I do this weird thing where I don't eat the last bite of burgers or sandwiches. I don't know why, but I just don't eat it. Unless it's a #1. Original from Schlotzsky's...

Salutations! (Does that word make anyone else think of Charlotte's Web?)

Off-the-Wall Thursday

So in lieu of having long posts every 2 or 3 months, I'm going to try to keep it light and update more often. Granted I just blogged 2 days ago, there's no better time to start "Off-the-Wall Thursday" than on this rainy Thursday. I'm not sure yet what I'll do every Thursday, but I'm going to post something random... outside the ordinary... weird... off-the-wall (hence the name). So for today, I'll leave you with a list of 5 random things about me that you otherwise may not know.

1. I don't normally buy sugary candy. If I'm in need for a little pick-me-up, chocolate is my go-to. Now this doesn't mean I don't like sugary candy-- I wouldn't go that far! Skittles... I like Skittles... I'm somewhat OCD when I eat them, though. I eat the green & the yellow first, because they're my least favorite. Then I eat the purple and the red ones simultaneously, because they just taste good that way. I save the orange ones for last, because I think they taste like orange Tic-Tacs. And I love orange Tic-Tacs.

2. Facebook annoys me sometimes. I hide people from my news feed all the time. I don't necessarily want to de-friend that person, I'm just not interested in keeping up with people on facebook that I don't know very well.

3. That being said, it only makes sense that I ignore a lot of friend requests. If our mutual friends consist of ever sorority girl at the UofA, there's a good chance I won't accept the request. It's not because I'm trying to be mean, but if I don't know you, I don't know you.

4. If I had to pick any beverage (other than water) to drink for the rest of my life, I think I would pick sweet tea. No lemon, please. :)

5. I like to do a little wardrobe cleansing every now & then. I like to go through my drawers and my closet and get rid of the things I don't wear. Out with the old, in with the new!
