Hmmm....

Okay, so until Aubrey comes over and shows me how to post a link correctly, you can find the blog at www.boysbitchinandchinesechicken.blogspot.com

chinesechicken.blogspot.com was already taken.

Check this out!!!

So I've been getting these emails from onlinediary.org. Usually I just send them to my trash box but in a fit of frustration I finally opened one....

The site sent me an email to remind me of a blog I started when I was 19! Of course I immediately read all 65 entries. I laughed so hard I cried! I couldn't believe what a stupid funny girl I used to be. (I know some of you would question whether much has really changed.) I wanted to hug my little teenage self and smack her with a shoe at the same time!

I just have to share this. So I'm starting an additional blog where I will post a few entries at a time and attempt to explain myself and breakdown exactly how things went wrong. If you want to read it, it's called "Boys, B***hin',and Chinese Chicken" and I will post a link up here in the corner.

To give you the run down, it's about the 19 year old me who was working her way through college at a stuffy library job to pay for a car that she hated. All the while stuck in a relationship that she didn't really take seriously and "unintentionally" cheated on the poor jerk every chance she got. And all along the stupid girl never seems to figure out her best friend is in love with her. For some reason I don't understand now. (Don't worry, I promise it's all P.G. I mean, come on, my mom could have been secretly reading it the whole time....jk.)

Oh the boys! Oh the drama!

This is going to be good.

20-something random things of Happiness!!

I've had a wickedy wack vacation, full of twists and turns, and delightful antidotes. But ironically I'm more in the mood to write about this:

20 some odd things that make me happy!
(in no particular order. That takes too much thought.)



1. Ice cream! I have only fond memories when it comes to ice cream.

2. The Big Bang Theory. If you don't know what I'm talking about, get out of farmville, unglue your cell phone from your hand and flip on the local channels during Monday prime time. Pure hilarity genius.

3. Delving into a good book.

4. Taking a walk on a breezy sunset.

*****side note******
I'm totally laughing at myself because I feel like I'm filling out one of those cheezy personal ads.

5. Picking out my outfit for the day....go ahead, ridicule away.

6. Creating characters and their stories.

7. Watching Matt drum the tune of a song he likes on the steering wheel.

8. The Office. We own all seasons on DVD.

9. Doggies! Someday we will own as many as the law allows.

10. Payday!

11. Spontaneous road trips.

12. Laughing.

13. Seeing my kids (students) smile excitedly and knowing I had a small part in that.

14. Being pleasantly surprised after taking a risk on an indie film from the Red Box.

15. Finding smart ways to save money. And then spending it on what I really want anyway :)

16. Going to church.

17. Scented candles.

18. Aubrey Johnson.

19. Going to the movies!! Cuddling up to Matt is fun, but most of the time it's better to go with my girlfriends. I usually end up seeing what I want to see, and we can laugh with each other and whisper comments.

20. My cute new phone. It was like we were made for each other. I spotted it in the store and said, "Oh, hello there." When I pressed my fingers up against the glass to get a closer look, it smiled at me :) We've been happy ever since.

21. Snack Wraps. While I no longer have to live off of them, I still crave them often.

22. Chinese food. Its what I eat when I'm treating myself.

23. My boat. Its a whole other world out there on the open water with my dad. And now my hubby :)

24. Sleeping in - waking up on my own terms. I'm a much happier person through out the day if this happens.

25. Flip flops. If I'm wearing flip flops, not only is it a nice day out, but I'm also not at work!

26. Halloween and Fourth of July.
