Day 29... Where have I traveled?

U.S.A.

I have visited all of the States in purple.

All of the New England states I visited on a road trip with my Best Friends last summer! 

Outside of the U.S.A. 

Costa Rica

Canada

Day 14... the LOTTERY

That's right.. this day's post is pretty much asking me: if I had more money than I could imagine, what would I do with it?

Well I'm going to of course take the extremely practical approach and buy every single item of clothing I want and nothing else.  Ok, I'm just kidding but believe me, I would definitely upgrade my wardrobe.

Here is a list of what I would do when I won the lottery:

1. Pay off all of my student loans

2. Pay off my parents debt. I know, number one daughter right here! :)

3. volvo. enough said

4. I would travel to a bunch of countries and do mission work! 

5. I would spend the rest on various charities (RMHC, The ALS association, Leukemia and Lymphoma society) and put the rest in savings! 

6. Oh and shopping of course

Day 13... Earliest Memory

So I am way behind on the 31 days.. so I'm going to try to play catch up.  I'm skipping Day 12's, what's in your fridge, because my only fridge is in Maryville and it has a 2 liter of water in it and that's about all.

So day 13 is my earliest memory.  It's hard to say exactly what my earliest memory , since there are a lot of videos and pictures, making it difficult to pinpoint what I actually remember.  So I'm going to go with what my favorite early memory is.

In 1994, I was two years old and the best movie ever came out.  That's right I'm talking about The Lion King.  My favorite memory is going to the movies with my mom, up near the old shopping mall, and seeing this movie.  I'm pretty sure this was my first movie in the theaters, but it could have been Pocahontas.  I remember being dressed in a Lion King sweatshirt and matching leggings.  Around this time I also got my favorite stuffed animal.

Isn't he just cute? And yes I did cut off his hair when I was little. 

In case you were wondering what I looked like back in the day, here are some examples: 

Lauren's back!

So my sister is back from North Dakota tonight, which means that we are both home for the first time in almost a month.  Despite the minor accident involving her new comforter and spaghetti sauce while she was gone, she still wants to hang out with me. So what are we doing on our first night home? Uploading a ton of CD's from the library, watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and watching One Direction on repeat. You've got to love sister bonding time! Oh and listening to her read entries from her fourth grade journal was pretty entertaining.

"The Best Song Ever" 

and it really is the best song ever! 

Day 7... Pet Peeves

So I've been avoiding Day 7 (see Worst Habits) because I thought that it was a post about what my pet hates and I was completely confused.  I've realized that it must mean what are your Pet Peeves. So I'm backtracking and doing Day 7 today!

Inconsiderate Drivers or Driving in a big City

Dirty and long finger nails: I have to keep my nails clean at all times

When professional writing (books, newspapers, online news) have very noticeable grammatical errors.  I have horrible grammar (but I'm getting better) and spelling; but it annoys me to no end when professional outlets don't catch them.

Using the word "moist" to describe a texture or surface (really any word that describes something gross).

I hate being early and I hate being late. Also along with this I really don't like waiting when I'm ready to go.

I also dislike when people talk down to me or think I'm stupid.

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. 

12.

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.
