Day Seventeen-To Live a Different Life

Who would I want to trade lives with for a day? My answer to this is probably really weird, but it's always been something I've wondered about.

I would love to trade lives with a trucker for one day. Ever since I was little, I've had this fascination with cramming as much stuff as possible into a little bitty space (like the opposite of claustrophobia).

I've always thought it would be fun to have your whole life in the cab of your truck and just drive around all the time for a living.

Of course I realize there's a LOT more to it than that, and I KNOW I would get tired of it really quickly, but luckily this hypothetical trade is only for one day! After that I would definitely want a shower, and probably a real bed.

Maybe there is a trucker somewhere who would let me ride along for a day (Preferably a nice trucker, though. No creepers need apply.)

Day Sixteen-Me, Myself, Yo, Io, Moi, Etc...

Another picture of ME? Well, if you insist!


This is my favorite picture that Mom took of me before my senior prom. Which, yes, means it is coming up on four years old. But all that makeup makes me look older, right? Before prom, I really did not have very high expectations for it. I was just going because I figured if I didn't, I would regret it for the rest of my life, and I wanted to be able to tell my kids someday about going to prom. Plus, I had a boyfriend at the time, so it's not like I had to work really hard to find a date (although there was quite a bit of drama surrounding that, too...material for another post). Anyway, I went, and I actually had an amazing time. It was such a fun night with all my best friends, right before we graduated and our lives changed completely. Looking back, it is one of my favorite high school memories, and I'm so glad I went.

I have to say, not exactly very representative. I do have more than five artists/albums on my phone. BUT, I am not one to cheat the system and keep skipping until I get good songs. So there you go!

Day Thirteen-An Open Letter

Dear Bathtub,

Ouch! You jumped up out of the floor and tripped me. Now I have a big purple bruise on my shin to show for it. That was not a nice thing to do. But since you have mostly been good to me for the last two years, I will overlook your hurtful actions just this once. I just hope you don't do it again.

I hope we can still be friends,
Jennifer

[I am BEHIND on blogging-it has been a crazy week! I'm going to try to catch up tonight, though.]

Day Twelve-Why Blog???

So...why do I have a blog? What got me started in this whole bloggy world?

I started reading the blogs of a few friends/acquaintances waaaaaay back, probably five years ago. One of those was Nancy, whom I didn't really know at the time except that she worked at the church and was one of those silly Mildred and Gertrude ladies. Ha! Now I'm proud to call her a friend, and still enjoy reading her blog. From her blog, I got to clicking and found a few other people I "knew", and then some people I didn't, but whose blogs I really enjoyed reading. Then reading blogs became a hobby, and I finally decided I should start one of my own so that I wasn't only reading, but was also writing something too.

Obviously, I haven't kept up with ye olde bloggy very well, until now. I really want to keep up with blogging this semester and throughout the year because, as the lovely Lindsay points out, it will be a year of great changes and (hopefully) great excitement! On that note, I really need to quit blogging and procrastinating and go finish my application to Texas Tech. I officially HATE the applications process...but it's one of those things we have to endure, I suppose.

Day Eleven-More Friends???

Well, had I looked ahead to this day in the first place, maybe I wouldn't have used all my favorite pictures in the first "friends" post. But here is the most recent picture of all of us, taken in December when we drove down to College Station to see Beauty and the Beast.

I love them!
