Awkward places I've tossed my cookies

1. In the middle of soccer tryouts senior year because I was so out of shape and thought it was a good idea to eat Sonny's that day.
2. Laying on the ground outside the Tropical Smoothie drive-thru after having my wisdom teeth removed, as I told my mom I just need to lay down on the cool ground.
3. In the middle of the Hathaway Bridge
- After having my wisdom teeth removed Kaylen had to pull over so I could toss my cookies, a policemen came up and told Kay he understood because he "has kids too" hahaha
4. In the middle of the FSU campus on my way to Spanish... and then kept on walking because I had to go to class.
5. Busting into my grandma's hospital room that I had just rushed out of so that I didn't get sick... there were about 10 other people in the room that got to watch and listen to me toss my cookies, definitely the most memorable on the list.
6. While cleaning up after my dog just tossed her own cookies... one more thing to clean up.

A Four Red Light Town


My home-home town of Madison is not real big.  Actually "not real big" is an understatement, it is really tiny, in fact there are only 3 red lights in the whole place.  What it lacks in red lights it makes up for in small town charm  Next week I am going to head back there and along with one of bff's (who also happens to be from the area) explorer all that this quaint little town has to offer.

This should make for a lot of fun pictures

Busy Bee
NFCC
Lake Francis
Antique Shops

Cross roads jiffy store

Old Truck off Rocky Ford

All Bottled Up

I'm searching for something to do with all my empty glass Coke bottles.
-Put lights in them
-Put glow in the dark beads in them
-Make a chandelier
-Use them as vases
-Break them and make some sort of mosaic (but I hate to break them)

There is a whole forum dedicated to this, so ideas are very interesting, some ideas... not so much.http://forum.lookbook.nu/show/25657-

I love all of these bottle chandeliers! http://morewaystowastetime.blogspot.com/2007/11/trendspotting-milk-bottle-lights.html

Fly Right


There are just certain things that I have found highly necessary for flights, things that helped make previous flights better or things I'd wished I had in the past.

-Headphones... The ones they sell on the plane are huge and hurt my ears real bad.
-Advil/Tylenol... To help deal with babies crying or knee pain.
-Cash... You ALWAYS need cash money.
-Camera... never know what I might see in the sky or in the airport for that matter
-Candy... yum
-Minty Gum... to help with ears popping and to offer to the person with rank breath next to me.
-Sudoku book/ Magazine, or something entertaining like that

A penny for your time


Sometimes we forget that pennies are valuable.  Sure maybe when they stand alone they can't do much but when gathered together they work just as well as any other money.  There are some things (some super annoying things) that deserve to be paid for in nothing but pennies.  Maybe that would get the point across that each of these things is tedious, like all the pennies that have to be counted one by one.

-Toll Booths
-Tow Trucks
-Stamps- Although I do love to get and receive mail, a little piece of me dies each time postage goes up.
-Speeding Tickets
-A slow/rude waitress
-Parking Tickets

Fight the Bite

Reasons to stop biting my nails

1. It is not sanitary AT ALL
2. I will get a present :)
3. It will be easier for my bff to paint my nails
4. Polish won't get all over the my finger tips
5. People ask to look my rings all the time, and I won't be embarrassed to show them my hands
6. Maybe then my hands won't look so undersized
7. It makes me seem like even more of a little kid
8. It hurts my fingers sometimes
9. Nails get stuck in teeth sometimes... which is gross
10. I hate the bad habit
