Country Music

   I have come to the realization that you simply cannot beat country music. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that anything that isn't country music isn't good. I listen to lots of different genres of music, but I always end up coming back to country. And I believe this is why: Country music tells a story and no matter where you are at in life you can always find a song that seems to be written just for you. There are songs for laughing, songs for crying, there are songs for joy and songs for heartache; I could make a list of songs that would compose the story of my life up to this moment right now. I know that there are people out there who would argue with me all day on this subject, but no matter what I will always love my country music:)

(To prove my point, there is a song about this exact subject; It's called 'Songs About Me' by Trace Atkins.)

The Taste of Water

Ok, so I was walking today and I started to think... how do you describe the taste of water? Really, have you ever thought about it. It's not sweet, sour, bitter, or spicy; so what do you use to describe it? So I went inside and got a cup of water and continued to walk. Occasionally I would sip some of the water and try to determine the taste of it, but sadly I couldn't figure it out:( So how DOES water taste? Post a comment and let me know what you think:)

My Dream :)

So here is the dream that I had last night: I was out on a date and we were walking back to the truck (I have no idea where from) when all the sudden we hear this gunshot go off and this man takes off running. I'm not sure what happened after that but we ended up in the witness protection program and they shipped us off to someplace that they wouldn't tell us. We were in this really small house and there were these "guards" at all the doors and they wouln't let us out. So we started conspiring on how to get out of the house. The last thing I remember is sitting in the floor drawing out our escape route... then sadly I woke up.

Weekend if Finally Here!!

Happy weekend everyone!:)

Fireworks

Did you know that they have heart shaped fireworks?? Isn't that awesome! Last night my friend and I went to see fireworks and I was quite impressed by the show:) My favorite one was the kind that exploded and seemed to disapate like fairy dust. It made me think of cinderela for some reason:) It was a nice way to end the day..:)

The Drill and the Bobbin

 I mentioned a couple of posts ago that I had been doing some sewing latley, but I forgot to tell y'all a story about our early experiences with this particular sewing machine. So when we first start out we're just sewing right along and things are going great, but then the bobbin runs out of thread. Hey, no problem right? Wrong. It's not a problem if you know how to thread it, but we didn't. Since I couldn't figure it out, and my mom couldn't figure it out we called in my dad. Now, my dad is the type of person who starts a project and will not stop until it is done and it is done right. So when he couldn't figure out he began looking for an innovative way to thread this bobbin. Guess what his tool of choice was. A drill. Yes, my ever so innovative father decided to use a drill to thread the bobbin. He put the bobbin on the drill bit and let the drill do its thing. it worked, so if you ever can't figure out how to thread your bobbin, just try this innovative technique:)

Hello:)

Hello to everyone who happens to be looking at this:) (I apologize, I realize that it isn't super intersting..)

yay...

Yay for getting up at 6:04am every morning for half of the summer.... (Yes, 6:04..)

Grrrr.........

 I. Am. Not. Happy. at all.... I currently look like some un-hygenic wierdo... so here's the first thing that happened. I am on a medication for my skin, acne runs in my family so after going to a dermatologist this is what she put me on. But due to the fact that  my prescription has run out... well i'm currently breaking out... then I used a product on my skin that apparently reacted with the other medication i'm using; leaving my upper lip chemically burned, dry, and red.. then I went to get my hair cut today and the lady who normally does my hair was unable to do so, therefore i had soembody else cutting it. Well.... this did NOT work out well. We must have had some sort of mis-communication because my hair is shorter than i told her i want it, has some wierd choppy looking layers and is angled akwardly against my face. This is NOT what i asked for AT ALL! Grr.... now i have to wait for my hair to grow out in order to have it fixed.
 But on the plus side we got my prescription refilled and i will be able to start taking again, and there are always ponytails so my dreadful haircut can be hidden if i choose to do so.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Sheep

I was just informed that I was going to compete in a sheep riding competition... (not really, but that was the joke.) Here is the conversation:

 Dad: "Oh yea, there's gonna be pig wrestling and sheep riding.."
 Me: "Umm... I can't ride a sheep. I'm too big to ride sheep."
 Dad: "Oh no. you haven't seen these sheep.. these are Arnold Schwarzenegger sheep!"
 Me: "..........................................."
 Dad: "I'll be baaaaaaahhhhhhck." (this is spoken in his best Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonation voice.)
 Me: "I'm putting this on my blog..."
