Lucky Seven

I'm setting this up to post while I'm on vacation, but I really hope Carrie is feeling better by now! I'm copying her post and writing 7 things about myself.

Here we go...

1. I am really weird with changing the time into fractions. When I look at the clock and it says 6:48 I immediately think 1/8th. Super lame, huh?

2. I studied abroad in Italy in the Spring of 2006 and could speak decent Italian while I lived there but as of today I can say literally 15 words. So sad.

3. I keep all my shoes in their boxes. When they don't come in a box I have to go out and buy a clear container for them.

4. I grew up going to the movies all the time and I still go a lot now. Let's put it this way, I've seen 6 of the 10 Best Picture Nominations.

5. I've had a broken toe (dropped a pop can on it. OUCH!), broken wrist (backpedaling in 6th grade basketball) and a broken collarbone (i was a huge baby. let's just put it that way.)

6. I once found over $600 in a parking lot. My mom called the police and reported it. After 30 days nobody called to report it missing so I got to keep it. Score!

7. I got stung by a jellyfish the last time I was in Maui. My brother and I swam over a small reef. I stood up. My brother screamed. There was a small blob of a jellyfish on my stomach right next to my bellybutton. Honestly, it didn't even hurt. But the blisters afterwards...they hurt.

So you're all tagged. What are 7 tidbits about you??

Guilty Pleasures

I was about to write a post about Spring Catalogs/Clothes when I got distracted by the Internet (go figure) and next thing I know it's been 42 minutes. HUH?!

It got me thinking about what I was doing over the last 42 minutes. Such a huge guilty pleasure of mine...

Celebrity Gossip Sites! I love reading JustJared.com, PerezHilton.com (like him even more now that he's not so rude), Lainey Gossip, D-Listed...etc.

Then I thought about more of my guilty pleasures. Believe me. There's always more!

loving all the pictures people post on their facebook.
