True story.

How can you win batch of these delightfully delicious cookies?

Just post a funny/interesting/embarrassing story or factoid about yourself in the comments section! No need to be a follower, this is open to anyone and everyone (so tell your friends!)


Example:

Story: My very first date was with a senior at school who I was like, literally in.love.with. Dinner had gone really well (we all got kids meals) and there were no awkward moments between any of us. We had planned to go to a movie but that fell through so instead we decided to go cosmic (black light) bowling. The place was jam packed so we had to wait a few minutes for a lane to open up. While waiting I notice that everyone who walked past us kept giving me really weird looks. I had no idea what was going on so my friend Rainy and I went to the bathroom. While in the bathroom I couldn't see anything wrong with my face, hair, clothes nothing. Weird, right? We walked out of the well lit bathroom back into the black lights where again, people immediately started giving me weird looks. I looked down and lo and behold my bra was glowing through my shirt. Every single detail of the pattern was fully visible for the world (and my date) to see.
facepalm.


Factoid: My eyes were bright blue like the rest of my family until I was 12 when they changed to green. My eyes will change from one color to the other on a regular basis but will normally stay some sort of green unless I get really angry or sad. If that happens then they go straight back to blue.


Giveaway ends Thursday 2/11 at 7:00 PM mountain time.

yes!

I realized today that I'm happy.

Like genuinely happy. That hasn't happened for a really long time.

Yes, I have had lots of happy moments but never has my general state of being been a happy one, at least not for the past three years.

Today however I realized that I've changed. I'm not entirely sure what that change was but I finally feel more like my old self.

My happy self.

And I like it!

the ring

I am fully aware that it's a little odd (maybe a lot odd) that I am posting about engagement rings when a) I'm not even remotely close to being in a NCMO let alone a serious committment and b) well... I guess there really isn't a reason for a "b" option but I felt bad for the little "a" being left alone.

moving on...

I have a confession to make. I'm not a big fan of diamonds. Gasp!!! I know, I know how could I, being the girl that I am, not love these sparkly rocks?! Don't get me wrong, they're pretty but there are other stones I'd rather have more. The truth is, I have a hard time getting over the price tag of diamonds. They're insanely pricey and I just have a hard time seeing the point in spending that much money when it could go towards something like, oh lets say a 14 day trip to Scotland and Ireland. Seriously. I'd pick the trip hands down any day. No question.

Plus I tend to lose things very easily. The majority of my rings have been lost and found at least 5 times. If I did that to a $4,000 ring I might literally die.

Plus, what if you get bored of the setting after a while? What if you decide you want something different? It's not like it's necessarily easy to replace diamond rings. Not unless you buy the ones with itty bitty diamonds in them that are so small that you can't even tell there is a diamond. Those rings are lame. If thats all you can afford then you should just get a wedding band with some nice filigree on it. I promise you it will look 10 times better than the barely there rock.

Anywho, all these things put together is why I would much rather have....

a FAKE ring!

I like them. They have the sparkle you want with a diamond at like, 1/1000 the price. You can purchase all different styles and, best of all, they can be easily replaced if lost!

Here are some of my favey fave ones:

1. This beauty is from QVC. It's $86.00.

2. Also from QVC. This one is done in 14k gold so it's a little pricier at $149.00.

3. This wedding set is in 14k gold. It's a bit pricier at $349.95 but I like it lots. It can be found here.

4. This one is Tiffany inspired and at an exceptionally low price of $55.99 and can be found here.

Now, if money wasn't an issue and I didn't lose things I would go for these rings in an instant. Bet you can't guess what my favorite stone is...

found here for $14,950.00

found here for $9,750.00

found here for $9,200.00

I am a dork.

i named him gus

This picture was included in the signature of an email I received at work today. I'm a little creeped out right now.

How about you?

watcha thinkin' about ash?

Ima thinkin' about....

* Dying my hair back to blonde. I'm kinda sick of it right now. It is however very possible that the fact that I have major root growth is the cause of my sickness... very possible indeed.

(please disregard my stoned look, I was really, REALLY tired)

* I finished my taxes today. Yes you can and should be jealous. Bahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Just joshin'. I'm getting some moneys back which is exciting. I am thinking I may give some of it to my brother. It feels right. I'm not sure if he would accept it though. Perhaps I should do it anonymously?

* I need to buy some socks. My feet are fuh-reezing! Which reminds me, I really wish I could wear toe socks. They look SO comfy! Sadly, I have weird feet, well toes, but weird feet too. Did you know that my grandpa once spent 15 minutes making fun of my toes? No lie! He said that the rest of my freakish toes gang up on the baby one and bit it in half! I should post a pic of them sometime so ya'll can be grossed out

:0)

* I had a day dream today where Mr. Handsome walks into the break room while I am preparing one of my delicious sandwiches. He comments on how delicious said sandwich looks so I offer him half of it. He accepts (after a little convincing) and then he and

I sit down at the table. He exclaims that it is the most amazing sandwich he has ever had and then declares his undying love for me.

* I want a dog. A lot. Like a whole lot.

* I'm going to be a quarter of a century this year. And I won't be even remotely close to being done with school. That scares me. My BIO class scares me too. I need to get a B. The average grade is a C-. Scary? Yes.

* I really wanna see this movie. It's a book in the series that I mentioned a while back.

* I own a Ravenclaw tie. What? You don't know what Ravenclaw is? Pffft, you are so not allowed to read my blog anymore. Leave. Now. Seriously dude.

just joshin'

Ravenclaw is one of the four houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. One of the best Ravenclaws would be Luna Lovegood. Yeah, she is awesome like a blossom. Dandy like candy. I named one of my snakes after her. She was a very cute snake. I miss her muchos. Anywho, I own this tie and I am trying to find ways to work it into my everyday wardrobe. Haven't really come up with anything yet but one day, it will happen and I will take a pic of it and post it on my blog :0)

Ooo, speaking of HP, I once wrote a discussion essay about how the first Harry Potter book/movie relates to social groups and resocialization. It was pretty darn good if I say so myself.
