Things that matter.

Hola, mis amigas! How has everyone been? I am sorry for the seven month delay, but.. quite frankly I have had a very uneventful summer.


But praise Jesus in the sky above... I am back in classes.

Sadly- no FRJ this year. Actually, I am not sad at all. My classes seem pretty normal.


Except one of my teachers is a moron. :) Sweet, but really not intelligent.


He reminds me of Simon Birch.

Cute, right?

Well, for an 8:00am class, I need ol' Simon to get it together. He took 30 minutes trying to turn on the projector.

And then started an icebreaker. (HOW MANY TIMES DO WE NEED TO BREAK THE ICE IN THESE CLASSES?!) We had to "interview" someone at our table and then introduce them to the class..

Let me remind you that most of us have already had at least one class together, because were all education majors.

On the board he wrote the questions for the interview:

1. Name
2. Favorite food

3. Have you ever traveled out of the country?

4. What do you like to do for fun?

5.What is your major?

....

....

Whats our major?

Everyone started looking around at eachother like.. uuhh.. eduucaation.. sir?

It was awkard.

Anyway, the class is a waste of time. I think it will be an easy A but for real, brothaman. Get it together.

So, to keep up with the icebreaker theme of my classes, I decided a good icebreaker blog would be good for all of us to get comfortable again.

Lets talk about things.

Things I like:

1. Birthdays!

Dis little baby chicken nugget will be turning 5 on September 15! I can't believe he is getting so big. He told my mom the other day that he was going to be turning 12 on his next birthday.

Smallest 12 year old ever, but man you sure are cute.

So that really ties in two things. I like babies, ahem.. "kids" and my sweet little cookie face, Anthony.

This Snookalicious sister is turning 25!

And this little gumdrop will be celebrating her 31st birthday!

And these two balls of fire have September birthdays.

I love birthdays. Its no January birthday celebration, but its still a party.

2. Dry Shampoo

This is the bees knees! Good bye, Bacon Head! You have been an unpleasant slight stuck to my forehead for far too long. See ya sucker!

3. Malibu pineapple.

Just a delicious drink. Tastes like a beachy vacation in your mouth. Minus the sandy feeling in your teeth, and no one has to deal with crabs of any kind. And just like the beach/ocean.. if you get it in your eyes it will hurt!

Hoodathunk.

4. Justin Bieber.

If you don't have Bieber fever you are silly. He is precious. Hes got swoopy side bangs. And he's just cuter than pie. I suggest everyone see Never Say Never. If you aren't totally in love with The Biebs after that movie, than you must not have a heart. Or love cute things. Or love Jesus and the angels.

5. Daddy and Laura are coming in town!

(Totally unrelated picture.)

And they are coming with Cynthia and Mike! Should be a fun weekend, if Cynthia doesnt kill me and hide my body.

6. These new babies.

Thanks Jessica Simpson. They're presh!

7. The Help

Don't tell my dad that i'm reading books. But this one is so good.

8. Other blogs I follow that you should too.

-Barefoot Foodie, Hyperbole and  a half, Cocos cuckoo world, The Spohrs are Multiplying.

On the flip side.. Things I could live without.

1. Amber from Teen Mom.

Big wad of absolute crazy. And loosen up on the ponytail. Your face has got to hurt.

2. Cicadas.

I HATE THESE BUGS.

I kid you not one of these man eaters was GROWLING at me at C's house. It scared me so bad I got all sweaty and flustered.

I opened the door to put a key under the mat and heard something like

"skkkaaakkkjhhaaagtgggeorrraaaalllll" and slammed the door. I told her that something was growling at me and when I went to inspect it again I opened the door to find a Ford Focus sized cicada waiting at the door step to eat my face off.

Screw those things.

3. Shower curtains.

My damn shower curtain falls down about once a week and it is the BIGGEST hassle to put it back up. I dont know what kind of stupid I am that I can't figure out how to put it up without the walls giving way for it to come crashing down on me.

Forget it.

Ill just shower without one.

Seriously.
