Day 11... 15 Favorite Things

So this is a hard one, both to organize and to think of.  My movies and books could all count as individual ones but I love them all, so there it is.

1. Writing/Reading/History

2. Hotdogs

3. Smell of old books! 

4. Mission Work

5. Europe and Ed Sheeran

6. HARRY POTTER EVERYTHING!

7. I found this awesome website with Stereotypes for countries and states, I love reading these and here is a really good one I found. 

                  On a side note: I love the Europe, but this is just funny both for Europe and the US

8. New Girl, Gossip Girl, Gilmore Girls, HIMYM, Friends, and Hart of Dixie

9. Books: The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Beautiful Creatures series, The Time Travelers Wife 

10. The Civil War

11. My Tattoos

 This one is really special to me.  It translates to 'The Gift of Gab' in Gaelic. You get the Gift of Gab if you kiss the blarney stone in Ireland, and my grandpa used to tell me that I must have sucked the blarney stone because I talked so much. It also represents my Irish heritage! 

This tattoo is also special because I share it a couple of my friends.  It means Job's Daughters in Latin and Greek.  Job's is a daughter organization of the Masons and I've been a member since I was 13.

13. I love my iphone!

14. BLUEBERRIES

15. Partying/hanging out/traveling/adventures with my Best Friends! 

Day 10... Best Physical Feature

I love being short! Only being 5' 2'' (ish) has made for an exciting life. I am a believer that my height has helped to define me, and I am ok with that. I love being shorter than everyone else and I wouldn't have it any other way.  Being short might seem like a disadvantage to some people, but look at Napoleon. Ok so he might have been exiled and died, but before that he did conquer most of Europe and many of those countries even invited him to do so.  

Also I am never taller than any guy, so that is a huge plus. I know know it's the important things in life. 

Day 9... Worst Habits

Ok.. So now I'm three days behind, so I figured it was time to finally do this one.  As much as it pains me to admit, here are my worst habits.

1. I will procrastinate anything. Whether it be because of avoidance, stubbornness or pure laziness I will try to put it off. I'm from the school of: "but I can bs a paper and my writing is better when I'm rushed.", it's not but it still doesn't stop me.

2. I make this weird face when I'm concentrating. And unfortunately it looks like this.

3. I never wear sunscreen and as a result I get burnt EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

4. I will do something or not do something purely out of being stubborn and spite. I'm adorable like that or annoying, however you want to look at it.

5. I have a bad habit of talking all the time and horrible volume control (either too loud or too quiet).

6. I spell everything wrong.

7. I'm OCD about the weirdest things. What kind of pen I write with, how my bed is made and sheets are when I go to sleep, etc.

8. I have to be in the mood for a certain food to eat it and if it has a weird texture, no thank you. Example: Cottage Cheese is the worst. But I could Hot dogs and Mac n' Cheese everyday of my life.

My friends could probably point out a lot more bad habits but this list would probably be too long.

The Happiest 5K...

Last Summer I got to run in the KC Color Run. It was an amazing time and is truly the happiest 5K on earth! Here is an awesome video that the Color Run posted yesterday, both inspiring and creative! 

And here are some pictures of me and my friends after we finished! 

I can't wait to do it again. 

Day 8... Hangbag

What's in my handbag?

Well first off I don't think this is exactly considered a handbag.. more like Mary Poppin's carpet bag. 

Surprisingly I cleaned out my bag about a week ago and it has managed to stay clean and receipt free. 

Not a very exciting bag as of today, but it does manage to cover the essentials in my life! 

Day 6... My 5 Senses

So today I'm back in good old Maryville (not for good, sadly) and so my senses happen to be a little different then the usual summer ones! 

1. Sight 

My sight for the whole weekend are from my cute new duplex! And of course the rest of Maryville!

2. Sound

Right now I hear the air conditioner trying to work and some Taylor Swift "Red"!

3. Smell

Unfortunately I have a cold and I can't smell anything! 

4. Taste

The only thing I'm tasting right now is the lovely taste of Maryville water (aka dirt)

5. Touch 

My butt is firmly planted on my couch and my fingers typing away!
