It's shaping up to be a great weekend and it's only Monday.  Big 5 for shoes for my mom, then dollar store, then Baja Taco for the first time!  I'm so excited I could poop.  :)

I ate broccoli with ranch and my brother made fun of me.  He was like "Can you believe she eats that for a snack?"  to Tim.  Weird.  Haha.   I thought it was normal.  I guess it's not that normal.

We watched Jon and Kate's new episode finally!  My mom was trying to ruin it for me because she got to see it first.  "Don't blink" were her final words to me as I was watching it.  It was pretty wow.  It's a real life soap opera played out on tv for everyone to enjoy.  I'm on Jon's side btw.

I took a really great shower.  Finished the box for the giveaway I'm gonna do on my blog.  I hope I can get more than one person to enter.  I will be....it won't be good.  Haha.  

Watching Gears of War late at night with the summer breeze on my cheeks is amazing.  I love my life.  I am so lucky.  I think I might be a math teacher.  But I don't know if I have what it takes.   It sure would make my dad proud.  Something to think about?

Giveaway tomorrow.  Tim and Aaron are going to see a movie.  I'll be home watching Gilmore Girls on DVD with Miya.  Should be fun.  Hannah should write on her blog more.  :)

I'm nice...

I was driving into where we live and as I turned up to the stop sign I saw a car with it's light on and I decided to go up to the house and tell whoever was inside that their lights were on.  I parked and walked up the driveway and rang the doorbell.  A woman answered the door and barely opened it and I asked her if the car outside of her house belonged to her.  She said yes so I  told her that the lights were on.  She opened the door wider and told a guy that his lights were on.  All of a sudden she was smiling and laughing.  The guy ran outside and thanked me a million times.  She was yelling thank you while I was walking away too.  They were so grateful.  It made me feel good that I decided to tell them because I know I have left my lights on and I would have liked someone to tell me.  So yay.  Go me.  I did my good deed for the day.  :)

Sneak Attack Love....

I recently found the etc. part of the Etsy forums and now I'm obsessed.  I really like the sneak attack in particular.  It's nice to have a place to go chat with other crazy/silly people like me.  There are some awesome people on there.  They have a blog now too.
