My friend and fellow blogger, Anna, has linked up with Chatting at the Sky each month to write a blog post on "what I learned in the month of _________". I thought this could be a cool idea to try, so this is my first attempt!

1) Barbies made nowadays have bendable knees. Without hinges.

2) If you are cold and you are a major Gopher fan, do NOT ask your friend Brooke to bring you a sweatshirt. It will have a giant ugly Sioux logo on it. And then she makes you take a photo so there's evidence of this happening:

We can still be friends, I guess. Disclaimer: I did cover her up with a Gophs tie blanky at our last sleepover. She was just shaking & shivering so bad that I had to do something!

3) When reading a series, I take forever to finish the last book. I did it with the Twilight series (in fact, I went to the part one movie based on the final book, and it ended right where I stopped reading. I don't really have a desire to finish it. I'm very over my vampire-fascination era), I did it with The Hunger Games trilogy (and, the last book is definitely my least favorite), and now I'm doing it with the Divergent series. Not sure what my deal is. I guess I have a hard time letting things go.

4) Having my best friend live just a 3-minute drive away from me is literally everything I hoped it'd be. Sorry I don't have a frilly cute photo of us together...yet. We usually look pretty "ratchet" (yes, I just used that term) when we hang out. Also, Marce gets married in 77 days. How is this possible? Just yesterday we were laying around in my parents' basement putting Bugles on our fingers pretending to have claws, weren't we? (Annnnnd I just realized we were pretty "ratchet-lookin'" then, too).

5) My current obsessions are finishing season 2 of Revenge on Netflix (sooooo good...gahh), getting a sleeve tattoo (I don't know of what yet, and let's be honest, I'm not bad-ass enough for a sleeve), and owning a Harley. With lots of chrome and ape hangers. The latter is an old fantasy. Also, it doesn't make a lot of sense to own one, because I plan on living down at least a half mile of gravel for the rest of my life.

6) I have lost 4 pounds just by moving home from school. THAT is cray cray, because the food here is delicious.

7) To date, New in Town is still the most hilarious movie I have ever seen. I think I like it so much because it's pretty much my life. "Can I ask you a personal question? Have you found Jesus?"

8) Ordering a banana split at DQ is the easiest way to get that 5th fruit in. In addition, it tastes that much better while consuming over a conversation with an old friend:




What did YOU learn in May?

Love,
