I know, I know, I spend waaaaaay too much time on pinterest. But it's an interactive site for me. I actually DO things that I see/pin on there. Let's give you some numbers:*I have 16 boards and, as of this moment, 601 pins (5 of my boards are food-related, naturally).*I tallied it up and I have made approximately 13% of the food-related items I've pinned.*I have also completed six pinterest-inspired crafts, and have redecorated my bedroom.I figure that's better than the average person on pinterest.
In no particular order, a list of things I could eat at least a half, or an entire pan of by myself:*german pancakes*texas sheet cake*cheesy breadsticks*breadsticks/rolls in general*oreo cake*chocolate chip cookies (soft, chewy ones!!)*mashed potatoes*pizza*funeral potatoes*graham cracker crust*really cheesy mac 'n' cheese...I'm sure that's not all, unfortunately...
I saw on pinterest that this girl kept posting things on her "bucket list" board from this website and having seen that movie New Years Eve last night (it was ok) I've been thinking about resolutions, but it's much more fun to see what I've done rather than what I haven't, so here's what I've done in my life!(**WARNING: long list ahead**)*lay down in a field of daisies*bungee jumping*shopping in paris*eat pizza in italy*go to california*plant a tree*see a broadway play*visit the louvre*shoot a gun*travel alone (well...I've taken many flights alone...)*go to times sqaure*visit a walk-through aquarium*go to rome*party in las vegas*learn to play piano*perform on a stage*ride on the back of a motorcycle*learn how to bake perfectly (well, I think I know how to do it well)*go to hawaii*take a homeless person out to dinner (I've given them food before)*go to a spa*go on an ice cream date*share ice cream with someone special (with my family...all the time)*see every hunger games movie (I consider that done even though they're not out)*make a rainbow cake*watch the sunset at the beach*drink coffee in seattle (does hot chocolate count?)*party during spring break*go to the olympics*experience a white christmas*attend a pool party*party all night without stopping for sleep*go to canada*own an iphone*go skinny dipping*move back to my hometown*see the golden gate bridge*find a four leaf clover*go on a camping trip*attend a concert*see snow*have a food fight*go to Germany*see every cirque du soleil show (well I've seen four or five...I think that counts)*have a beach wedding (I'll count that I've been to one)*read all of the harry potter books*have perfect teeth (my orthodontist said mine turned out the best out of all my siblings...and my dad said I have perfectly shaped bicuspids)*learn how to drive*have a huge water balloon fight*attend a new year's party*shop in new york city*go to hollywood*see a shooting star*go to venice, italy*be a bridesmaid*visity sydney, australia*graduate from college*pet a giraffe*ride in a taxi*be on t.v.*ride an elephant*go on a road trip with friends*donate blood*try sushi*see the eiffel tower*sleep under the stars*skydive*visit disney world*take a tour of the white house*let a snowflake land on my tongue*spend a summer getting really tan*go to a water park*become a teacher*cook thanksgiving dinner*visit puerto rico*try something from godiva*bake something from scratch*visit new zealand*go an entire day without using any technology*sing at the grand ole opry (does humming to myself while I'm there count?)*finish a game of monopoly*chop down my own christmas tree*take ballet lessons*have the barista at starbucks remember my order*learn how to use chopsticks*make s'mores around a campfire*try chicago style pizza*own a pair of skinny jeans*'hold up' the leaning tower of pisa*see the milky way*try tiramisu*visit a chocolate factory*finish a whole tube of chapstick*try beglian chocolate*stay at a bed and breakfast*have a pet rabbit*feed a giraffe*ride in a limo*swim in the pacific ocean*ride a horse*have a summer job*ride a subway in new york*make homemade ice cream*read the bible*be able to walk well in heels*write a letter to myself and open it in 10 years*climb a tree*buy flowers for someone for no reason at all*own a coach bag*build a gingerbread house*eat an entire pizza by myself*tie dye a shirt*eat a croissant at a bakery in paris*make homemade jam*make a quilt*have a bonfire*visit the full house home in san francisco*study abroad*have a baby fall asleep in my arms...and on and on...I am one extremely blessed person.
*Why are curtain rods so dang hard to put up?*Why do you have a wedding board on pinterest if you're already married?*Why does bad-for-you-food have to taste so good?*Why am I always obsessed with food in general?*Why is buying things so much fun?*Why do my siblings (and their children) have to live so far away?*Why doesn't everybody think like I do?*When will my room be clean?
I associate music with a lot of different things - places, certain events in life, and people. I bet you didn't know that I associate most of you with certain songs. Here we go!Dad - Anything by Simon & Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, and "Alley Cat" (b/c it is the one song you would play on the piano and I asked you how you knew to do the part at the end w/ the triplets and you said you made it up. Once I knew how to read music I looked at the sheet music and discovered you lied)Mom - "Mary Did You Know," Clay Aiken's version (b/c you really like it...and so I bought you piano music...which you forgot that I did and so you were going to buy more...until I found the sheet music I had previously purchased)Lanson - The entire album of Steve Miller Band's greatest hits (b/c I would listen to it and cry because I missed you when you were on your mission).Diana - "All for You" by Janet Jackson (b/c it played everywhere when we were in Europe)Kim - "The Sign" by Ace of Bace* (b/c when it came out you told me to stop singing it because it was a bad song and I'm still trying to figure out why...)Mark - "Hotel California" by the Eagles (b/c you told me once it was your favorite song)Jill - "Invisible" by Clay Aiken** (b/c we looked it up on youtube while driving in San Francisco...and you borrowed my barbies to make a music video of it)Jesselah - "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus (b/c it may or may not be the most played on your itunes)Beth - any song by Michael Jackson. (b/c you heart him)Kelli & Emily - "Everytime we Touch" by Cascada (b/c we listened to it a lot, and rolled around in blue foam while it was playing...that sounds bad but it's not)Jenn & Marcelle - "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion (b/c of your amazing interpretive dance)Jennie, Nina & Rose-Ellen - "Hey Ya!" by Outkast (b/c it defined our Freshman year together)For those of you not yet on the list - just you wait. With time you will be added.*This is a terrible music video.**I had no idea that Clay Aiken was so present in my life.
What does it say about me when......Grey's Anatomy has made me cry more than any other television show?...I'm already halfway done with my Christmas shopping?...sometimes I prefer spending time by myself rather than with others?...while reflecting on the best part(s) of my day it usually ends up being related to food?...I sometimes wear blankets like skirts around the house?Hopefully nothing.
Sometimes I am behind on life.-Dishes? Nope, don't feel like it.-Making the bed? Not at all this week.-Hanging up clothes? Haven't quite gotten there yet.-Gone through mail? Not high on my priority list.-Gym? Well I'm currently in my gym clothes but I doubt I'll make it out of bed...-Being social? Nice try.Can't be perfect all the time, right?
