Day 23...Current situation....
Time to find out about my current situation. What I'm reading, writing, etc etc etc. I don't think I have ever done one of these lists before, so it should be fun!!

Reading...I am actually not currently reading anything...the next book on my list is "The Fault in Our Stars," which I am super excited about!!


Writing...This blog post, duh :)

Listening...To my loud ass air conditioner in the hallway...Also TWD on Netflix

Thinking...That I am super excited about finishing the Rustic guest bedroom..it turned out awesome!


Smelling...my delicious new candle from Bath and Body Works...It's called Ocean Driftwood and I swear it smells like you are walking into Hollister. It is ah-mazinnnngggg!!!

Wishing
...That I owned these amazing shoes I saw on IG earlier
 
Hoping
...That I win Publisher's Clearing House....$5,000 a week for EVER...Like, forever-ever

Wearing...My new cozy Aztec print leggings from Rue 21...my collection is growing by the day!


Wanting...Something to eat...something to drink...(Not wanting...to get off the couch and make anything #lazygirlproblems)

Loving...My hubs <3  The fact that our cruise is soooooo close!!!! Andddd the fact that we have less than 3 months until the return of TWD!!!

Needing...To get a blanket because it's freezing in my house, to start getting everything together for the cruise, and to overcome my laziness to go make some food.

Wanna know how cute I was as a baby?? Or how about what was happening in this crazy place the year I was born? Check back tomorrow!!

P.S.....By the end of this post, I may or may not have made myself the most amazing bowl of ice cream known to man...sure did

Day 22...Things that make you go hmmmmmm....


Day 22...Things that make you go hmmmmmm....

Ok so first I want to start by saying that there is some commercial out there that plays that song---things that make you go mmmmm!! The hubs and I were trying to figure it out last night and the only thing we could come up with was Campbell’s. After Googling today it appears to be McDonalds, Dominos or Campbell’s. Either way, I have been singing it in my head for 12 straight hours. So thank you for that.

Starting with an absolutely crazy picture that my sister sent me, I am going to share with you some things that make me go “Hmmmmmmmmm.” 


This guy, that thinks he is a lizard...or a dragon...can't be sure
 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The fact that people will be willing to stand in line for an hour or more (myself included) to get on a roller coaster, but we get pissed off if the drive thru takes 5 minutes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That people would pay thousands of dollars, train for months and risk their lives in subzero temps to climb to the top of Mount Everest.  I’m good with my warm, safe & free ground, thanks.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This lady, who thought it would be a good idea to dress up like her dog:

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Thinking about the universe stretching infinitely, forever and ever. I can’t even wrap my head around the thought of infinite, and it freaks me the hell out to think that there is no end—that the darkness and stars and planets and lord knows what else could go on forever.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sink holes. Like, imagine walking down the street, minding your own business and then BAM!! You are sucked into a 40 foot hole, soon to be covered by cement and cars and anything else that happens to be around you. And the worst part is that it could literally happen right now, right where you are sitting. That’s right, I’m talking to you!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This guy, who enjoys pretending to be a baby…true story…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ok so I’m about to get totally morbid here, but I wonder what it’s like when you die. Do you think it is all lilies and rainbows and parties with your loved ones? Or are we talking more walking through walls and freaking out your widowed hubs? Obviously there is the 3rd, least desirable possibility of absolutely nothing happening, but will we ever really know the answer??
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That some people will not fart in front of their husbands. Yes, I said fart on my blog. And I’m about to say it again—everybody farts…supermodels, actors, the president…so why do some people feel like farting is this awful taboo thing?! Look, I’m not saying to let one rip on your boss’s desk, but it’s your hubs for crying out loud!! Be loud and proud!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
And finally this lady, who must have missed the “No Pets Allowed” memo at the state fair.



Be sure to tune in tomorrow to see what I am currently doing with my day, and then check back Thursday to see what life was like way back when I was a fat little baby!
