Ahhhh vacation. This past Saturday Isaac and I loaded up the car and headed to the North Carolina coast to spend a week at Topsail Island. His family has been coming to this beach at least once a year for the past 35-ish years, and I have joined them the for the past 5. By…
SCUBA Diving in the Cenotes of Mexico. I love the contrast of the perfectly blue water with our silhouettes. I wouldn’t go skydiving for $10,000 or a life-time supply of frozen yogurt. Nope, wouldn’t do it. Why would anybody strap on a little backpack with a MAYBE-working parachute inside and jump out of an airplane? It’s ludicrous.…
I had a long talk with my mom this morning that left me feeling energized, refreshed, and optimistic. My immediate family has spent the past year focusing on the positive in life and not letting negativity (both people and circumstances) weigh us down. It’s hard to do. It takes a conscious effort to not let…
Frozen yogurt is one of my weaknesses. I even considered opening my own frozen yogurt business for awhile, but then realized how detrimental that would be to my hips and my wallet. Apparently you can’t make money off of a business if you are eating all of your own goods, bummer. Self-control is something that…
On April 16, 2007, a Virginia Tech student by the name of Cho Seung-hui murdered 32 people and injured 25 others in what was one of the worst school shootings to date. Everybody was impacted by the massacre that day no matter where they lived. It was heartbreaking, terrifying, and confusing. How could a 23-year old boy…
I have had it. I am so tired of listening to people constantly complain about work, school, the weather, politics, their significant other, or any of the other issues that are apparently causing extreme and debilitating unhappiness. Yes, I realize the irony of this post, as I am complaining about people who complain. Don’t care.…
Anybody who owns a Mac computer knows about Photobooth. It is a program that allows you to distort your image in the webcam and snap pictures. Sure Photobooth is fun for humans, but even more fun to throw your already ugly pets in front of. [Just kidding, I love you Teddy] These are bizarre photos,…
You may be familiar with the “Oprah’s Ultimate Favorite Things” giveaway. Once a year on her self titled talk show (rest in peace), Oprah dedicated an entire episode to giving away her favorite miscellaneous items to her audience members. I thought I’d create my own “Ultimate Favorite Things of 2012” list. They are material items/food/objects…
My aunt sent this to me in an email today and I just had to share it. It’s scary how true some of these are… How Do You Decide Who To Marry? You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports,…
Well, I meant to post this on February 26th because that was my one year blogging anniversary, but this past weekend was jam packed with schoolwork and catching up on sleep. It has been one year since I made my first post, I Think You’re Awesome. In one year I have written 126 posts (10…
