five

fast five was on tv last night.

as i sat there and watched the last 20 minutes i thought to myself, "man, i wish the sixth fast and furious movie was out so that paul walker and i could spend my birthday together like we did last year."

because i don't know if you know this, but my 25th birthday is in five days.

FIVE DAYS, PEOPLE!

don't worry, there's still time to get me a present.  i even made a board on pinterest to help you in your search, you can view it here. if it isn't obvious, i'd really like a pair of j.crew shorts.  i'd also like to add a costco/giant size bag of riesens to that list.  every year i hope that someone will get this for me and no one ever does. so this year i am just going to ask for it.

i'm going to be 25 in five days.

adventures in babysitting

so i babysat my niece and nephews this weekend while their parents were in mexico and i just did such a super job!  here's just one example of what a great mom i will make one day.

so we went to the grocery store and when we were done i was getting everything put away in the car.  first, i put bond (13 months) in his car seat and then asked afton (7) to buckle him in.  then i went back to the other side of the car to see that grayson (6), who was sitting in the basket of the cart, was rolling away from us down the middle of the parking lot.  he was laughing and screaming "help me! help me!"  it was just so terrifying and hilarious all at the same time.  luckily no one called the cops on me.

oh, and about an hour later i noticed that my fly was down and i'm pretty sure it had been that way for several hours.

so... who wants me to watch their kids??? i'm obviously really good at it. especially that whole keeping the kids safe part.

questions plaguing the internet

i'm happy to hear that these are the most common questions being asked on google.

or that google thinks that i really want to know the answers to these questions. 

the question that i find most intriguing in this list is "why are manhole covers round?"  that thought has never come across my mind but now i just really feel the need to know why.  if you're curious too, click here.
