I'm BACK

Hey! Well as you can tell by the lack of posts my life has been... busy! I decided against being a nurse and as of right now I'm not in school right now. I am lifeguarding, nannying, leading at youth group, teaching swimming lessons and in charge of my churches 5-6th grade Sunday School program called Zone. I can't complain though! I like being busy, I feel useless when I'm not really doing anything. I'm really excited cause 2 family friends just moved out here from MN so I've been hanging out with them in my spare time. There's Tate he is my age and he plays football and then his lil sister Emi who I'm super pumped to have out here cause I think she is pretty cool and that we're gonna be buds...

Wee Bit O' Me

{one} do you wear holey jeans? if so, do you buy them that way?

Yes I do wear holey jeans I don't think I've ever bought a pair of jeans with a hole already in them.

 

{two} do you get a full 8 hours of sleep per night?No! I rarely get a full 8 hours in due to my busy schedule and my attempts to keep a social life. Last Friday though I slept for 14 hours... I'd never done that before and usually after I sleep in super late I feel like I've missed out on the day but not this time! I knew I needed those extra hours cause I've been "running on empty" and was fighting off getting sick.
{three} what’s your favorite way to eat an oreo?

 I love to seperate the oreo and try to get all or as much of the filling stuff on one side and then I eat it :)

{four} do you wear shoes in your house?Nope! If I could I would go with out shoes all the time!
{five} who would you call first if you won the lottery?My family and then probably Milo and Nella
{six} have you ever been in a food fight?

Yes! Our babysitter when I was around 6 let us have a food fight and it was so much fun. I've had a few others at camps I've worked at and man are they fun in the moment but later its a bummer having to clean up.

 

{seven} do you snore?When I'm sick with a cold I do... :(
{eight} do you know how fast you type? I don't I should find out! Probably not as fast as I wish I could type
{nine} can you do a headstand (without using a wall)?ALMOST!! I just tried it while watching TV with the family... they already know I'm a nerd so whatever :P
{ten} how do you like your popcorn?

Since I started doing Weight Watchers I've been Obsessed with 94% fat free kettle corn its my favorite thing and I have it multiple times throughout the week
