Quirks and Randomness

Basically, this is not going to be a put together blog entry. Okay? Okay. Good now you know. Don't expect a fluid thought process. It's much more fun this way right?! Yes. Ahem. Right. Okay here we go.

1. I am a grammar Nazi. No really. I am. I need the correct usage of to, too, and two. There, they're, and their. It's and its. Then and than. There is no such thing as gooder. It is good, better, best. Okay? Okay. Glad we got that covered. I would love it if people helped me out. Believe me, it is in everyone's best interest to use correct grammar. That's all.

2. I love my cousin Ben. A lot. I love his language and everything he says. There are just so many things that make me laugh and laugh. Half the time it is a guessing game as to what exactly he is talking about, but I eventually figure it out. Milkshit (milkshake) and boobies (blueberries) being among the ones that get me every time. "Wake up, Sarah" is also a favorite of his if I happen to get to sleep when he's napping. "George cryin. Cryin Sarah." and also "Knock, knock, knock, and lookin, lookin, lookin!" being among other conversations with him. Trucks, trains, Steet (Sesame Street), and food are his main concerns and thought process. "Mama" and "Gampa" (Grandma and Grandpa) are also something he thinks and talks about a whole bunch. Yes. Great times and memories with him lately! A slight side note but I also love his brother who I think I hold over 25% of the day. How great, right?!

3. Cooking and baking is such fun. Hello chocolate soufflés, French toast and some delicious pasta being among the things I have made in the past two days. It brings me great joy and it also gives me more love than I wish :) But that's ok! I love to eat and I suppose if I only eat healthy my whole life (What fun is that?!?) Meagan and I have decided that's the case anyways.

4. Soda. I had been on a fast of it for a year in a half. I had convinced myself that it was going to be gross if I decided to drink it again. I mean- I had survived over a year without it. It's not good for you anyways. There was no reason to go back to that sugar laden, ice cold, bubbly drink. Right? Wrong. I did it. I went and drank a Dr. Pepper and all the people that said it would taste nasty after not having it for so long was wrong. Very, very wrong. Sweet and cold and bubbly. Happiness in a cup. After I drank it, I felt extreme guilt. But that's alright. I convinced myself it was good. Great that I did it. Especially because I have decided not to eat ice cream for this year. And that may or may not be the death of me. So I believe soda is necessary if I am to keep myself from consuming ice cream.

5. Remember when you were little and you had that little blue kiddy pool in the summer time!? No? Oh. Well that's a shame. You see I do. I remember how much joy I got from splashing in it, but also staying cool. Yesterday I rekindled that relationship. Grant it, I did have a dress on, but my little cousin looked to be having so much fun. So I tied that dress up and got in. And wow. Instant relief. Dallas is hot in June. Yes indeed. So I did get wet and my dress also got wet but now that that relationship has been renewed, it shall not be put aside again. I do wish however that the pool was eh more like.... five feet taller. So yes. Random but I still love a kiddie pool, drinking from the hose, and filling up cups in the pool and dumping them out into the grass (to water the grass of course!)

6. ZZZZzzzzz. Sleep. You think you need it. Then you realize it wasn't necessarily necessary. I mean yes, it is RATHER nice to sleep until you wake up, but that's not life. But I love sleep. A lot. That's something I believe I will always love. This is a short number 6 but that's ok. Simple and to the point. I love sleep. Amen.

7. Another short one. I love Oreos, fruit roll-ups, gushers, Triscuits, soda, and cheerios. And yes, it is probably fair to assume I have eaten all or most of the above in the last, well, three days.

8. Whole Foods is a great place. It is a great place to go and think, "I can eat healthy." And then you walk out, see a Starbucks and order a 500 calorie drink and think, "Haha! Nope! This life is much better!" Everything in moderation right!?

9. I believe a lot of these posts have had something to do with food. But that's ok. I'm a girl. And I love food. I am also not ashamed of it! Hah!

10. I bought a new journal. You know how it goes! OH I am just going to LOVE writing in this every day and looking back to see everything I have done, and after 5 days (if you are lucky) you say oh tomorrow I will do it. But nope. It doesn't happen. Instead it sits by your bed gathering dust for however long it takes for you to clean out your room. All that to say, I got a new journal. But instead, it is a Dr. Seuss journal that says "Oh the places you will go." So instead of writing in it every day, I will only write in it when I travel, so I can look back and remember all the places I have gone and all the experiences I have had. So I am excited to use that as much as possible when I travel.

That's all. I made it to ten. Randomness it was. But I warned you! Now go out and enjoy your day and live your life like there is no tomorrow!
