A little about me list

-There is a difference in saying love ya, love you, and I love you... the last means the most.
-I talk on the phone too much and take it as a personal insult if you don't call me back.
-I always wear a hair tie on my right hand.
-I get way too involved in TV shows.
-I make plans about plans, and lists of lists.
-Wearing heels makes me feel powerful.
-I hate repetitive noises...like drumming.
-I love surprises.
-I hate it when people are glued to their phones and then hate it even more when those people don't respond when you call or text.

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
