i'm addicted to jelly beans!

thanks to my boyfriend, i am now addicted to jelly beans. and the sad part? they are ones that you can only get at easter time. unfortunately, he's addicted to them too, which is what started me eating them. and apparently, there are several people that i've heard that suffer with this same problem. 
so, i guess russell stover will be getting a lot of my money from now on.


darn you and your deliciousness, jelly beans.

spiders and underwear dancing

WHY do spiders love to hide in my shower, only to appear when I pick up the shampoo bottle, scaring me when I'm at my most vulnerable?? Well, I think I may have the solution... I'm going to call it the "anti-spiders hiding in my shower dance". How did I come up with this dance? Good question. You see, I stumbled upon it the other day- I was getting ready and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" came on my itunes, causing me to dance around my room in my underwear. And that just happened to coincide with the ONLY day this week that a spider hasn't been hiding out to scare me in my shower. Another benefit of this remedy? It caused me to have an awesome day. So there you have it folks, it's been proven- dancing in your underwear not only keeps spiders out of your shower, but is also a guaranteed good day.*




Now, many of you remember my tales of Shelob's baby from last year, and I definitely do not want another mishap like that to happen again, so I will be trying my new remedy from now on.

*If you do not have a good day or if spiders appear in your shower after trying this remedy, LD cannot be held responsible. It just means you are doing it wrong.

unique toilets

(this one's for you, Jonathan)


Having a bad day? Do you sometimes feel like everything is going wrong at once? Well, next time you feel as if your life has gone down the crapper, remember these pictures of unique toilets, and you may realize that it might not be such a bad thing.


Enjoy!




but how do you flush??
what do asian men, alligators, and the virgin mary have in common?? why, toilets of course!
i know this is intended for children, but it scares the crap out of me.
P.U.!!!
hahaha. so classic.
i....don't even know what to say about this one.
...or this one
kinda looks like those bubble pipes

i wouldn't use this one, she looks like she's been around...if you know what i mean.

this one frightens me the most.
reminds me of rocky horror
not gonna lie- this looks pretty awesome

BONNAROO!!!!!!

for those of you I have not told yet- it's official: WE ARE GOING TO BONNAROO!!!!!!
I finally got our tickets last week sometime, and I have to admit, it's been on my mind quite a bit.
There are sooo many artists/bands that I am beyond stoked to see. and even though the avetts aren't going to be there this year, we are seeing them in charlotte in april. (this will make the 3rd time i've seen them in about a year's time span. i think i might be addicted)....anyway, here's this year's lineup:

http://www.bonnaroo.com/artists.aspx


June can't come soon enough!!! oh, and if any of you are going and you haven't told me yet, let me know! it would be awesome to have a group. although, i'm not too worried about it. i have no doubt in my mind that we will be meeting lots of interesting people there and making friends. and i'm pretty excited about it.
As of now, there are still some tickets left, get yours now!!!!

new camera, running, dog walking, and a little mountaineer inn ;)

Well, I have several other things to cross off my list, so get ready for update numărul trei!





1Buy a good camera and take more pictures.-DONE. I got an awesome deal on this camera: (I know it's not as nice as I wanted, but for my budget for right now, it's gonna have to do...plus, it's better than my other one)
2. Actually make prints of said pictures. - Now, I just have to take some pictures...
3. Keep my room clean for a full week. yeah....not counting on this one anytime soon. I'm beginning to think this one is going to be the hardest one to do.
4. Use my gym membership. I'm going to go ahead and cross this one off bc Jonathan and I have been going as much as we can with our schedules and other circumstances. We have a couple 5ks lined up and are beginning to train for a half-marathon. so I have no doubt in my mind that this will be more than accomplished.
5. Perform somewhere.
6. Take a trip up to Virginia - with gas prices, this one's gonna be tricky.
7. Finish one of the 485974564 songs I've started writing - i have one that's close!

13. Let Jonathan know how much I love and appreciate him, everyday. -He says that I already do this, but I think I could do better.
14. Spend more time with my friends.
15. Read one of those classic novels with zombies added - also in progress, sorta.
16.  Cook dinner for my parents.
17. Visit somewhere haunted
18. Play a song on my guitar for the kiddos. - I played the ukulele for them! I'm going to count it even though I said guitar :)

20. Go to Carowinds

happy birthday, Dr. Seuss!

I know it has been a long time since I've last written, but what better way to return than in celebration of an amazing children's author? So this one's for you, Dr.Seuss. 
Not only do I love reading his books to the children, but he also has some of my favorite quotes, and ones I use quite often. 
Here are some of my favorites:











And I apologize for this being short and sweet, but hopefully I will be able to start writing more often soon.
