I'm It!
5:08 PM
Kari over at Lime Green Movie Girl (who has an adorable blog, btw) has tagged me! I will now be sharing with you fifteen little known facts about myself! Which is perfect, since I have a lot of new readers and I want to scare them away with goofy things about me.
1. I have never been able to do a cartwheel. I look more like an uncoordinated donkey bucking in a whirlpool. It's... awkward.
2. I always get the same sandwich at Subway. Turkey on white, without cheese, with lettuce, tomato, olives and mayo. This sandwich has been pleasing my taste buds since 1994.
3. If I could play any character in any Broadway production, it would be Ursula in The Little Mermaid!

Creative Valentine Ideas!
12:15 PM
I've never really had a lot of money, so I've had to be very creative with my gifts for the people I love on Valentine's Day.
These are all super simple and very inexpensive. Definitely perfect for last minute gifts and will put a smile on the face of the ones you love!
1. Buy a box of children's Valentines and write a note on each one. Put them back in the box and give the entire thing to that special someone!
2. Cut out three hearts. Write the words "I" "Love" and "You" on their own heart. Then take a picture of yourself holding them in front of you. The pictures are plenty, but if you want to spend a little extra time and cash, print them and put them in three separate frames.
3. I've always been a fan of a good card. Feel free to buy a card from the store if it's the perfect card for someone you care about. Just don't leave it there! Be sure you write something inside of the card that will mean something more than whatever Hallmark wrote.
4. Create a scrapbook page!
(This is a two page spread that I made of lovey type pictures of my family.)
5. Buy an inexpensive Valentine's themed puzzle. Put it together, flip it over, and write a message to your loved one on the back. Take it all apart and put it back in the box. It's a fun Valentine and an activity! I did this this year and had so much fun with it! (Another option is to write something you love about that person on the back of each piece of the puzzle!)
6. Make a short video telling someone how much you love them and post it on YouTube! This is a great one for those of you in Long Distance Relationships or living away from your family or friends! It lets them see your smiling face and hear your voice as you tell them how much they mean to you!
7. And for all of you bloggers, be sure to dedicate a post to those you love on February 14th!
Do you have anymore great ideas? I'd love to hear them in the comments!

Hooker
6:33 PM
Vegas is funny.
There are a few things that have really made me laugh since I got here.
Getting lost looking for post offices that don't exist.
The ice cream truck that drives around the neighborhood... in the WINTER!
But nothing is more funny than getting mistaken for a hooker.
Ready for a funny story?
Apparently you don't have to walk the streets for people to think you're a hooker. All you need to do is live in Las Vegas and have a Facebook account.
I got on Facebook today to find this message:
I had been feeling sick all day, and this totally made me laugh!
Let's break this down, shall we?
1. I only changed my location yesterday. Scotty is so on top of things!
2. $1000, Scotty? That's it? I'm worth $1003!
3. Thanks Scotty! I am glad you think I'm hot!
4. You can't even check my age before you write me? C'mon Scotty!
So Scotty, the decent looking white guy, I am afraid I have to turn you down. While I am of legal age, I'm pretty sure prostitution is well... illegal. But it's totally flattering that you thought I was a whore!
Oh Vegas... you're so funny!

I Spy: Unpacking Edition
3:10 PM
Moving is a crazy amount of work. I never expected to be this busy when I got here.
Definitely the biggest project has been unpacking all the stuff that I brought with me. How silly I was to think that I was practical about what I brought along. I'm thinking that I over did it a little bit.
It's nearly impossible to get around my room to even put things away because there is so much stuff. I'm slowly making progress, but it's quite the project.
I decided that I would post a picture of the crazy mess that is my new room.
It's pretty crazy isn't it?
This picture reminded me of those "I Spy" books I used to read when I was a kid. So I created a few little rhymes so you could take joy in my chaos!
Find me a bath time buddy and a pirate swear,
A “super” accessory and things for your neck to wear.
Two kinds of underwear and an obvious box handle,
Three pretty girls, febreeze, and a cookie mix candle.
A green photo box, and a red smiling hot rod.
Listening to Internet Radio because I can’t find my iPod.
(Can't find something? Try enlarging the picture! Still having trouble? The answers are here.)
Making hide and seek rhymes are kind of hard.
I better get back to it. This mess isn't going to clean itself. (Wouldn't it be nice if it did?)

New Adventures
12:11 AM
I'm moving today.
To say that I am terrified would be a GIANT understatement.
In a few hours, I'll be making the long drive to Vegas. Only this time, it's not a trip and I won't be coming home in a few days. I'll be staying there as my parents drive away.
This has happened to me twice before. I was 18. And I don't remember being nearly this scared. Maybe that's because the first time, I didn't realize how hard it was to be an adult. Maybe I wasn't aware that I would be home again in three months.
The second time was six months later, where I decided to try this again. Once more, three months later, I came home.
There are a few things that scare me more than those times.
1. I am scared that I will fail again.
2. It's nearly 5 hours farther away from home than it was the first two times.
3. It's a much bigger city where I don't know anyone but my sister.
I'm also really excited, but my fear of failing is making me a nervous wreck right now.
To help me feel better, let's list some good things!
1. Being so close to Alyson!
2. Warmth!
3. More people and more things to do!
4. Being nearer to Kevin.
I am definitely excited. It is however, very hard to be sitting in my old room on the computer that has not yet been packed when the rest of the room is completely empty but for the furniture that belongs to my parents. It's like a ghost room.
And it looks so much bigger and yet, smaller at the same time. It's strange.
I'll be on my way to new adventures in a few hours. Wish me luck!
