mi favorito

I've decided that it would be fun to share a few things that I like to call my favorite. In no particular order, the nominees are:

- Oreos. They are a delicacy when dunked in milk.

- Laughing. Sometimes/all the time, I laugh without reason.

- Quoting movies... and then laughing. Favorite movie to quote: all of them.

- I love to lie, make up stories, and do anything I can to convince others that I don't have common sense. Their reactions are hilarious! Example: I convinced a person that I think the people who drive taxi's are called taxidermists, and when this person told me what a real taxidermist was I told them there was no such thing.

- Nicknames. I often rename people, and inanimate objects and normally I'm the only one who knows about it.

- The Discovery Channel.

- The Office. Ah, I've seen every episode and have laughed during every one. Man, Michael is so embarrassing sometimes!

- I love speaking with a British accent! Often when I'm talking to myself, I am British.

- Flowers, among many obnoxious hair pieces, are my favorite way to accessorize my hair. A lot of times it's to disguise the fact that it hasn't been washed in days..... Shh! Don't tell!

- I love the truth and speaking truth even if it means people don't like it.

- Callie is my favorite friend. : ) We have been BFF since the beginning of time.

- Ben is my favorite boy. I hardly know him ; ) but there's just something about him that I love.

- Asking very random would you rather questions is a favorite ice breaker of mine.

- People watching! Ahahaha!

- Baseball, although, there is no crying.

- Singing. I just love singing!

- Bomberman, but hate the gold guy! Ugh!

- Currently, my favorite color is green, but I'm pretty sure it's always been my favorite.

- Fishing with my dad is also a favorite pass time. I've been fishing every year since I was two and have caught more trout than I can keep track of, but my favorite fish to reel in is definitely a salmon. Oh how I love a good fight!

- Surprises!

- I love to change my mind, but only when it's my idea. : )

What a variety of favorites! I think I'm going to pause for now before I start rambling. ; )

adventures in h2O

The other day I was so thirsty! I normally bring my own agua, but on this day I forgot to. When this happens I usually buy some in the food court. For only twenty five cents I can get a huge cup of water, but the mall wasn't open yet and I had a client coming in soon. So.... I walked to the vending machine and they want a bone a half for a bottle of water! I couldn't believe it! But since I was so thirsty I decided to shell out the buck fifty to quench my thirst.



So.... I go the vending friend and insert my dollar and it tells me that I need exact change. Well, I don't have exact change so I tried again.... and again, didn't work. So I thought I was being really tricky and put my other dollar into the machine next to it and pressed the coin return. Take that you exact changer you!

Much to my annoyance the coin return gives me this:


UGH!!

But lucky for me there is yet another machine neighboring my water enemy. So I put another dollar into that one and you know what it did? It ate my dollar!!! It wouldn't give it back! What a jerk! So rather than kicking the darn thing I bought some mints.

By this time, I had already run into my client and she was patiently waiting for me so I ran back to the salon, grabbed some quarters, and dashed back down the unfriendly vending friend. And guess what?

IT WOULDN'T TAKE MY CHANGE!!!!!

So, I pretty much wasted several minutes desperately trying to get water only in the end to be left terribly thirsty! Ah!
