Well, I guess this is my first update? I wish it was something bigger and better than bad news. I guess its not bad...it's just not great.
first: I killed my second expensive flat iron. My first I stepped on when I was a senior in high school (not while it was on thank goodness!). But this one died a wet death. The plug, while resting on the back of my toilet, decided to go for a swim while I was blow drying my hair. I immediately grabbed it and dried it off...but the next day when I plugged it in the most god awful sound came from my wall. :( Rest in peace little chi. Ulta is having a sale this week...so I wont have to fork over the full amount for a replacement.
second: someone backed into my parked car. really no HUGE damage, but I really didn't feel like dealing with the insurance companies, auto body shops and bad rental car agencies this week.
However it could be worse.
But my grandma's voice is ringing in my ears...."bad things come in threes". JOY.
2 down 1 to go?

So, here I am at 11:30 when I have class at 9:30am tomorrow fiddling with a blog website. Well...I have decided to change my new years resolution. A little late (I know) but hear me out. Back in December I put together a list of things I wanted my friends to complete in the year 2011. This list was kinda like a bucket list with a scavenger hunt feel. My inspiration was honestly the list I had made when I was 14 of things I wanted to do before I died (I know very "a walk to remember of me" but come on!!). Among my several moves from home to college to apartment and back I had lost this list. I thought it would be fun for my friends to complete the list this year and then spend a day in December 2011 talking about the experiences we all had. Well, being me I never got around to printing that list...much less passing it out to friends (Merry Christmas?). So I've decided I'm going to post it here and start tomorrow. Whoever wants to join is free to do so! I just want to make 2011 a year to remember the little things in life we often look over. So, here I go.
As a part of my list I want to update this blog as often as I can. I cant commit to everyday...grad school sometimes has a tendency to suck away my soul...but I can try to write/ update as often as possible. I want something to look back on for 2011 and smile.
I will post the list on a separate post so it can be referred back to easily!
