100 Facts for my own enjoyment.

So, the Facebook note that has been going around (25 random facts) inspired me, along with Michelle, to try to come up with 100 random facts about myself. Seeing that I am not the most interesting person alive, I feel this will be quite a feat if I can do it.

So here goes:

1. I don't order dessert at restaurants. In fact, the only times I've ever gotten dessert are on my birthday or at Cheesecake Factory. I would always rather eat more salty carb dinner goodness than dessert. Unless that dessert is ice cream, in that case I'd rather eat more salty carb dinner goodness and top it off with a huge mound of ice cream.
2. I still sleep with my blanket from when I was born. My sister gets jealous because she lost hers a long time ago, but I literally cannot sleep without it. Yes, I am 21. Along with sleeping with my blanket still, I also try to wear my retainers as much as possible. I got my braces off 7 years ago, but I am terrified that my teeth will move back.
3. If I am laying on my side (fetal position), I cannot fall asleep without something in between my knees. I hate the feeling of my knees touching. It makes me cringe.
4. Sometimes my tongue feels too big for my mouth. I know it sounds ridiculous, but when I start noticing it, I subconsciously start talking in a lisp and wish I never noticed to begin with.
5. I don't eat red meat, and I haven't eaten red meat since 4th grade. I will, however, try new things, just to say I tried it. ie: I tried Spanish sausage yesterday, and hated it. The only red meat I will eat is Mids spaghetti sauce with meat and mushroom. It is literally heaven in a jar. But I have had a hard time eating it since I grabbed the expired jar out of the fridge and chomped onto a moldy mushroom...yeah...
6. I don't eat red meat because I had surgery on my digestive tract, and the doctors told me red meat was much harder on my stomach.
7. I had three surgeries on my liver/intestines. I had a cyst bigger than a softball in place of my bile ducts. They had to make bile ducts from parts of my intestines, but the bile leaked into my stomach instead of my intestines. So. My stomach was filled with bile and I apparently almost died. My second surgery was rerouting my bile ducts, and my third was when they had to remove scar tissue.
8. My hospital experience at Akron Children's is what inspired me to want to be a nurse. Before that, I wanted to be a teacher. Now I cannot imagine ever being a teacher.
9. I want to work with pediatric oncology. I know it's going to be tough, draining, and emotional, but someone's gotta do it.
10. I volunteer for a camp called Camp Quality. It's for kids with cancer and their siblings to be able to get away for a week and enjoy being a "normal" kid for a week. Each volunteer is matched with a camper so they get plenty of one-on-one time. We spoil the crap out of them. I have done CQ for two years, but hope to work there every summer that I can. Forever. I can't wait to see my camper grow up. She's already grown so much in just the year and a half that I've known her. She's a pistol, but I adore her. Because of CQ, I have met so many people who's friendships I treasure. Some of my closest friends are fellow companions, and I am grateful for that. It's nice to be friends with people who understand.
11. I don't like washing my jeans. I wash them maybe once a month. I don't like how stiff they get, but I also don't like how fat I feel when my jeans are not stretched out. After I wash them, I make fists inside my jeans and do lunges.
12. I am always thirsty. Always. I need drinks with me at all times. I carry water in my purse, and I go through 8 liter bottles a week. When I am hanging out around home, I line up 3 or 4 drinks and drink them all. I have been tested for diabetes multiple times, but apparently I am just thirsty.
13. I didn't like underwear in high school. I barely ever wore it. Now, I love underwear and think it's the greatest thing ever.
14. I am addicted to tv. I never used to be this bad, but when I suddenly got more free time last December, I started recording at least 15 different shows and watching them regularly. My favorite show, hands down, is Gossip Girl. At home, I watch Ellen Degeneres every day. She is my hero and I adore her. One of my biggest goals in life is to meet her. Sometimes I apply to get tickets for her show, just to see if they randomly choose me. If they did choose me, my mom and I would fly to LA for a spontaneous trip. She already told me so. Maybe someday.
15. I hate being cold, more than anything. I am bitter about having grown up in Ohio, where the winters are frozen. I hate that my mom keeps the house at 64 degrees, and I feel like I cannot fully appreciate things if I am cold. I am miserable when I am cold. I'd rather sweat to death than be cold. 
16. I think it is so important to have straight teeth. I think it is such an attractive quality for people to have nice teeth. If someone has nice teeth, it shows that they take care of themselves and want to make a good impression. Take care of your teeth, people!
17. I have loved Justin Timberlake since the very beginning. I'm not one of those fans that just says that...I truly was obsessed. In 5th grade, in the beginning of the Nsync days, I shook his hand. I cried for an hour and didn't use my right hand for the rest of the day. I saw them in concert 4 times, and I saw Justin when he came to Columbus. To this day, I still consider him my favorite music artist.
18. I used to change my screen name all the time when I was younger. AOL was the cool thing in 5th and 6th grade, until AIM came along. My past screen names include: MooMoo767, JCrlyNsync, HooverKel905, and HoneyGurl4ever7....Yep. I was cool. Now it's myneonlunchbox, and has been since 9th grade.
19. It is myneonlunchbox because I am a huge John Mayer fan, and my favorite of his songs were Neon and 83, where he talks about his lunchbox. I was creative and just put them together.
20. Since I got my Mac, I only use iChat. I don't understand people who use AIM on Macs. iChat is so much cooler, as are all things Apple.
21. I thought it would be so hard to learn to use my Mac, but it took me an hour to get used to it. Now, I get so confused when I use PCs, which is odd because I grew up using them. I don't understand people who waste money on Dells and Toshibas.
22. I didn't visit a single college I applied for. I applied for Akron U, Malone, OSU, Mt. Caramel, and Capital...I ended up at Capital, but the only reason I applied in the first place was because the online application was free.
23. I got into all of the above schools, but (aside from Mt. Carmel) Capital was the only school who's nursing school I was directly accepted to. I'm still not sure I made the right decision, but it's too late now.
24. I am not good at science and I'm awful at math. I took "Intermediate Algebra" my senior year of high school. Yep, I didn't even make it to Algebra 2.
25. Because of this, no one ever thought I'd make it through nursing school. Obviously I've had my fallbacks, but I'm still in it to win. I want to be a nurse, and no one can tell me otherwise.
26. I am a journalism minor. I know nursing and journalism are complete opposites, but journalism and English have always come easy to me. I wanted to take classes that I enjoyed and in which I didn't have to work my ass off. This was a good decision for me because I raised my GPA a ridiculous amount and only went to class half the time.
27. In high school, I applied for a scholarship I was sure I wouldn't get. I wrote an essay about losing my grandma, and I won the scholarship. I distinctly remember being shocked, and I still do not understand why they chose me, of all people. A good friend came to me and complained about not having received the scholarship, having no idea that I was the one who got it. I was pretty bitter about that.
28. Losing my grandma was so hard on our family for different reasons. It was so difficult living two hours away and knowing I would rather be spending time with her. To this day, one of my biggest regrets is not making more time to go see her while she was sick, but also when she was healthy.
29. My sister and I got tattoos for her on the year anniversary of her death. I went the subtle route, getting her handwriting on my foot. It says "I love you right back" because that is what she'd tell us when we said I love you. My sister, having the more loud personality, got an enormous yellow rose (my grandma's favorite flower) on her arm with a banner.
30. Apparently, my grandma thought I was annoying as a child, and she always favored my sister. My mom said it's because I was so ornery, which doesn't surprise me a bit. I vaguely remember feeling like she liked my sister more.
31. Jayme and I did not get along until she moved out. The best memories I have with her are when she had already graduated high school. Actually, the best memory I have with her is when we laid on her bed and went through all of our yearbooks. Instead of looking back on memories of people, we were trying to find the funniest names ever. We still have that list somewhere, number 1 is Angust Webendorfer. Yep, that's really his name.
32. My brother and I started getting along when my sister moved out. I remember telling him I hated him and wanted him to die, but then when Jayme moved out, we were best friends. My best memories with him are when we would drive to and from school together, blasting whatever music (his choice) and singing at the top of our lungs.
33. I worked at a nursing home for 2.5 years, and I loved it. I miss it a lot, and I miss taking care of the older people. I was a dietary aide, but my favorite part was getting to know the patients. I loved working holidays because I knew most of them didn't get visitors. I think it was the best job to have in high school.
34. I love "crappy" candy. My favorite candy ever is Wild Berry Skittles (the purple bag), but I'll eat all Skittles. I also love Gobstoppers, Nerds, Runts, FunDip, and Blowpops.
35. I also love gum, and I always have it on me. I only buy Orbit, and my goal is to try every single flavor they ever come out with (Yes, I set high goals in my life). My favorite is Maui Melon Mint, but I only chew that in the summer. I also chew BubbleMint in the summer. My winter flavor is Sweet Mint.
36. I try to be a healthy eater, but I have my temptations. My number one temptation is peanut butter, and I've already gone through two jars since I've been in Spain. I am determined to not buy it again while I'm here. For one, it's expensive since it's imported. And two, it's SO fattening.
37. Since being in Spain, I have discovered Nutella, which is equally as bad as peanut butter, but sadly, they make the best pair. My roommate and I made a pact to never buy either, as they are both our biggest temptations.
38. I don't consider myself a huge carb lover. I hardly eat sandwiches, and I always opt for a wrap instead of bread. However, one of my biggest weaknesses is a bagel and cream cheese. Yum.
39. Salads are my favorite food. I love grilled chicken salads from Texas Roadhouse. I also love Ruby Tuesday's salad bar. The weird part is that I love to dip them in barbecue sauce. Weird, but it's healthier than salad dressing anyway.
40. While we're on the topic of food, I have this weird habit with sandwiches. I eat a little more than half of it, but then I take them apart and eat it layer by layer. I'm not sure why I do this, but I've done it my whole life. I also do it with wraps, burritos, and even grilled cheese. When I eat a bean burrito from Taco Bell, I eat half of it, squeeze the insides onto the paper. I dip the insides into mild sauce, then I eat the rest of the tortilla. I know it's ridiculous.
41. I always ask for sauce/dressing on the side, and I dip it. I need sauce. I dip everything in some sort of sauce...Even if it already has enough flavor. I just like sauce.
42. I have tried many diets in my day, but the ONLY times I've ever lost weight successfully were unintentional. In 4th grade, I lost 30 lbs because of my surgery. This past year, I lost 20 because of depression. Maybe I shouldn't say "successfully" because I've gained most of it back.
43. I don't like my body, and the only time I've ever been confident about my looks were last year, when I was depressed. So even though I was down about life, I at least felt good about how I looked.
44. I pretend to be confident. Inside, I am insecure and dislike so many things about the way I look. But guys (and friends) don't like self-consciousness. So I pretend, which I think is better than nothing.
45. The best way to make a friend is to go up to them and start chatting. This is how I've made most of my greatest friends. You cannot just wait for them to come to you.
46. My freshman year roommate didn't like me at first. She thought I had too much of a loud and colorful personality. A few months later, we were great friends, and still are to this day. We plan on living together again, someday, and we've helped each other through a lot. Living together brings you so much closer.
47. I've never been able to have just one best friend. I've always had different friends in different groups. Usually, my best friends aren't even friends with each other.
48. I've had three "best friends" named Kaitlyn(n) in my life. My other "best friends" were Heather Quinlisk, Geoff Peterfy, Amanda Davidson, and now, Brittany Wasko. But I need a close clump, if you will, of good friends in my life.
49. I went to school with my current (and forever!) best friend since I was in 2nd grade. We were in the same Girl Scout troop in 5th grade, and were in the same classes all throughout our lives. However, we did not become friends until Junior year of high school. I don't understand how that happened, but I'm glad we discovered each other.
50. We are opposite in so many ways. She is clean, organized, goal-oriented, and always on time. I am messy, scatter-brained, and I work just enough to get through in life. She used to get SO mad at me in Speech class. She would spend a week practicing a speech, I would not know what I was going to say until I stood up in front of the class. For some reason, I always got better grades. I adore her.
51. As much as I want to be a nurse, the main thing I've always wanted is to be a wife and a mom. I think I'm going to stop working when I become a mom, but only for a little while. My "goal" was to be married by 23, but now that it's coming up fast, I don't think it's going to happen. I used to think that was so old, but now I realize I don't want to rush anything.
52. I struggle with knowing if I was ever in love. I have been in one serious relationship, and I loved the crap out of him. Looking back, however, I wonder if I was in love with him or just trying to...save him, save us. Anyway, I still think true love lasts forever.
53. I hate when people say "anyways" and "towards." There is no s! I also hate when people say "expecially" and "I should have went." Ridiculous is not rediculous, know the difference between you're/your, and do NOT use apostrophes when you don't need them! Bad grammar and spelling are huge turn-offs for me.
54. So far, my favorite college course is Editing. Surprised? My favorite class in Spain is International Journalism. It's the only class I look forward to and pay complete attention to.
55. I won the spelling bee in 4th grade. I still have the trophy to prove it. However, I couldn't go to the district spelling bee because I wasn't old enough.
56. I laugh when people shorten their words on AIM/iChat. I will never use LOL, u, urs, or thanx. However, I do say omg and wtf.
57. I don't enjoy the taste of alcohol, and I only mix drinks that are fruity deliciousness. I cannot and will not drink beer. I don't understand why people tell me to drink it until I get used to it. I don't want to drink something that tastes bad, ever.
58. Drinks are too expensive and that's most of the reason I don't drink often. I didn't drink any alcohol until the summer after freshman year of college. Until recently, I could count how many times I'd been drunk on one hand.
59. I have learned not to be too embarrassed about what I do or say when I am drunk. People understand that you are not in the right state of mind, and usually brush things off. I am an AWFUL drunk texter/caller.
60. I had the flu on my 21st birthday. I woke up at 7am with the most awful stomach pains, and I laid in bed until 4pm. Then, I went to a baby shower for my sister's friend, and went back to sleep. My sister took me out that weekend, and it was the best birthday I could have ever asked for. I drunk dialed my mom (that's usually who I call anyway), and my night was even sealed with a kiss.
61. I never worked out in my life until this past year. I hate running and I refuse to run. It's kind of like drinking beer, I'm not going to do something I don't enjoy. So, I walk on the treadmill and I do the elliptical. I was determined to walk everywhere and NOT join the gym in Spain, but the classes they offered sounded super interesting. So, I caved. Joined the gym. And now I go at least three classes a week.
62. I failed my summer clinical last summer and am now a year behind in nursing. At first, it was the worst thing that could have happened. I had a really tough year (my previous posts have explained that) and this topped it off. It turned out to be the best thing that happened. I picked up a minor, was able to take fun classes and raise my GPA, and now I'm studying abroad in Barcelona.
63. I am nervous about going back to nursing because I am scared it's not what I'm supposed to be doing. If I'm not supposed to be a nurse, I'm not sure what I would do. It's all I've ever wanted to be.
64. I've thought a lot about being a flight attendant lately, but I think it's due to my being scared (#63).
65. I pride myself in my good taste in music. I love bands like Muse, MuteMath, Eisley, Copeland, Radiohead, and Coldplay. But I admit to liking awful, pop music on the radio. I also admit to country music being my guilty pleasure.
66. I hate drinking calories. I'd rather eat more, and drink water/diet pop/iced tea. Diet Coke is my favorite drink. I drink entirely too much artificial sweetener in coffee and tea.
67. I love Starbucks, but because of #66, I try to only drink the regular coffee. If I get a real drink, it's either a caramel macchiato (sometimes on ice) or a caramel light frappucino. If I drink these, I have to plan it so I don't eat as much. It's weird.
68. I count my calories, and I use www.thedailyplate.com regularly. It makes no difference because when I eat poorly, I get too embarrassed and ashamed to record it. So, it's sort of pointless.
69. I am a night owl. I think I am going to be a night nurse, at least to begin with, because I would much rather stay up late than wake up early. I love staying up at night and doing nothing.
70. I don't think sleeping too much is a waste. It's something I enjoy, and I don't think I am wasting time doing so. Knowing I can take a nap later is the best feeling, and I love random days where I can go to bed early and sleep in late. I love sleep.
71. I don't think my life is too hard to handle, and I don't like to complain about things that happen because I know that I will get through it. I know I still complain, but I don't do it to get attention. Sometimes I just need to vent.
72. I get really annoyed when people complain to me about "bad grades" that I would consider really good. ie: people who cry over getting B's...really? C's get degrees, people.
73. I am NOT an overachiever, and I don't think it's physically possible for me to be. I am a procrastinator, and you cannot be both. I am proud of myself when I start a paper before the day before it's due. I work much better under pressure. ie: getting an A on a 12 page research paper I started 8 hours before it was due, but getting a B on a paper I started a week before it was due.
74. I am a virgin and I am proud of it. It makes me sad that more people don't consider it such a prize...I would like to marry a virgin, too, but I haven't met a ton of those.
75. This does NOT mean I am innocent. I love to makeout and I don't see anything wrong with random makeouts. I mean, as long as I am not going past my personal boundaries, it shouldn't matter. I like to have fun.
76. I have a crush on my doctor and my gynecologist. I look forward to doctor's appointments so I can see Dr. Buchanan. Sometimes I make appointments for minor things JUST so I can see him. My gyno is a hot Indian, and my sister and I both want him.
77. I have really awful hearing. I like to blame it on the endless ear infections I've had and the tubes that were embedded into my ears. When doctors look in my ears, all they see is scar tissue. I know it's annoying when I say "what?" and "huh?" Most of the time, I actually didn't hear you. Other times, I just say it so I can comprehend what was said.
78. I used to hate feet. Not really because I thought they were disgusting, but because I thought I should hate feet. I mean, everyone hates feet. But. Now, I just hate my own feet. I also hate feet that are dry, crusty or smelly. So basically, take care of your feet and we'll be okay.
79. I have this weird idea in my head that if I eat things out of big bowls/bags/cartons, I am not eating as much as if I were to measure it out in a bowl. This is probably why I am overweight. I feel like if I am eating out of a carton of ice cream, there aren't many calories as eating an entire bowl. It's completely psychological and illogical, but I do it anyway. I don't like eating things when I know I am eating more than the serving size.
80. I have had really bad luck with guys in the past. In middle school, I was dumped after a day because he was embarrassed to be seen with me. I was also dumped via note that said "I'm dumping you." The best was junior year of high school when I was dumped at Ground Zero after three days of "dating." Basically, I should give up.
81. On that note, I really think the guy should be the initiator when it comes to relationships. The next guy I date, I want him to chase me and prove to me I am worth it. I think I deserve someone who goes out of his way to prove I am worth it. Then, I will spend my life proving to him that he is worth it. I have a lot to give, and I can't wait for him to find me.
82. I am awful at saving money. In fact, I didn't have a savings account until I decided to go abroad. However, I spend my money wisely. Aside from eating out way too much, I am really careful about where my money goes. I am a bargain shopper at heart, and only shop at places that are cheap to begin with or have really good sales. ie: Target, Forever 21, H&M, Wal-Mart, etc.
83. I love big cities. I love being overwhelmed by the size of cities. I love being on crowded streets. My favorite city in the US is New York City, New Orleans is a close second. I also LOVE Nashville, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Orlando. I've only been to 3 cities outside the US, but I adore London. I would live there.
84. I love being spontaneous and going on adventures. I have so much fun on random road trips and am always up to go on adventures. At the same time, I love routine and hate change. I think my issue is with adapting to change...It's just hard. But obviously a necessary part of life. I like change after it becomes routine...ya know?
85. I am a Christian and I love Jesus, but I hate when people shove it in your face. I also hate when people preach but don't try to live their lives for God. ie: Guy in my nursing class who preaches in your face and claims that he doesn't lust, but posts Facebook pics of him and his girlfriend all over each other. People like that make legitimate Christians look bad.
86. I wish I had a stronger relationship with God. I want to go to Him for more than favors and thank yous. Reading Christy Miller again inspired me to talk to Him like my friend, not just when I want something. I'm trying, but it's hard. I guess that's part of it.
87. I really like to take showers, but I hate the getting-ready process after. I mean, I would be much more motivated to shower if I could magically be ready: hair dried/straightened, makeup on, dressed, etc. I just felt the need to explain what exactly getting ready is, to me.
88. I went on a missions trip to Bolivia after my sophomore year of high school. It was really great and I loved it. The downfall was when we all got sick, and had to leave a few days early. It sucks being sick in a foreign country, when all you want is your mom.
89. Speaking of which, I cannot imagine (nor do I want to find out) life without my parents. My mom is my best friend, and I am really close with my dad, as well. There is nothing better than curling up with my mom to watch American Idol or Food Network. Honestly. There is also nothing better than my mom's grilled cheese, cheesy potatoes, sesame chicken, and chili.
90. I grew up in North Canton, and will always consider it my home. However, I really like living in Columbus. I don't miss high school and I don't miss North Canton. I thought I would, but I don't. I feel weird going back there because I don't have a permanent place there.
91. The only things I miss about high school are choir and the cafeteria food. I was in choir for 4 years, and in the select ensemble for 2. I really miss choir. I haven't sung since high school, and I miss it so much. I also miss chicken patty day. Wasko and I lived for that day. It came with spicy fries, california blend vegetables with cheese, and peaches. I want it now.
92. I learned how to knit for my first ex boyfriend. I made him a scarf for Christmas. Since then, I have only knitted a few scarves, and that's all I know how to knit. However, I love it, and I like giving them as gifts. I also made a striped one to match my winter coat, and I am proud of it. I'd like to learn to knit other things, but I don't know how to learn. I also want to learn how to crochet.
92. I think morning breath is disgusting. I don't open my mouth until I've brushed my teeth in the morning. I only mumble. If I know someone hasn't brushed their teeth yet, I hold my breath when talking to them. When I watch movies and they start talking to each other in bed or wake each other up, I often wonder if they have bad morning breath. Even though it's not real. I refused to kiss my ex-boyfriend when we first woke up, and he made it his goal to try to get me to cave. I never did.
93. I would much rather be a wizard than a vampire. I'd rather have magical powers and a wand. I started reading Harry Potter in 5th grade, and I still adore them. I also have a crush on Harry. I mean, what's not to love? Also, I will never think Twilight is better. Never. Also, I think Edward Cullen is overrated. I like Jacob, I've always liked him better. 
94. I always said I would never buy skinny jeans...I have a pair. I said I would never wear Uggs...I bought a pair of knock-offs. I also said I would never wear leggings. I started wearing them under dresses/long shirts. Today, I wore them AS pants. I washed all my jeans at once, and we don't have a dryer...So I resorted to leggings. I always swore I would never wear Crocs. That is one thing I WILL NEVER DO. Crocs are bad. Always. Just so bad.
95. I love to read, and I always have. I refuse to read anything for school...I've gotten through 3 years of college without opening a book. But I will read book after book for entertainment. I learned to read thanks to Sesame Street at age 3, and I read my first chapter book when I was 5. I like romances best. But you know, I'll read anything. For the most part, I enjoyed reading books in high school English. My favorites are: Catcher in the Rye, Memoirs of  a Geisha, The Color Purple, The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, Go Ask Alice...Ok, I could keep going. Right now, my favorite authors are Jodi Picoult and Sarah Dessen. You should try them sometime.
96. I like to walk places, ride my bike, rollerblade (ok I haven't done this in years, but I'd like to again.), and kayak. I would always rather walk somewhere if I can. My dad bought two kayaks, and I love to go out on the water with him.
97. I get really bad motion sickness. I think it might have to do with my ear condition, but I get really sick in cars, buses, subways, boats, airplanes...you name it. I can't swim in the ocean for a long period of time. I get sick texting in the car. I also get sick kayaking with my dad. Needless to say, Dramamine is my best friend.
98. My first kiss was the worst scenario possible. I snuck out to meet this guy, the one who dumped me because he was embarrassed of me. Anywho, it was in 8th grade, in the middle of winter. I had approximately 5 layers on, and we were sitting in someone's backyard talking. He literally pounced on me. I wish I could say my first kiss was cute and unexpected...and it was unexpected, but not remotely cute. Or fun. Or enjoyable. Gross.
99. I got lightheaded the first day of clinical last summer. This lady showed me all of her gaping wounds from a botched plastic surgery: tummy tuck, butt tuck, and liposuction. It was bad. Well, I got lightheaded a few weeks later when a lady had a gaping wound down her entire tibia. I tried to handle it. Wound dressings just are NOT my thing. I know I will have to do it countless times in nursing, but I think it's just something I have to get used to. Infected wounds floor= not my favorite.
100. I have asked for a puppy for my birthday and Christmas every year since I was born. Every year, there is another reason why I can't/don't get one. This year, after 22 years, I am going to be extremely disappointed if I don't get to pick a puppy out. I plan on naming her Lucy, after my favorite patient at my nursing home. I am going to get a purse and put bows in her hair. I am going to buy her pink sparkly collar and cute shirts. Yes. I will be that girl.

Well. There you have it. I'm sure I could have gone on and on. But, I like to think I am not that conceited. :)

Yesterday, we had our day trip to Torres Winery and Sitges Beach. I am in love with the beach, and I plan on taking my sister there when she visits.


I couldn't resist walking into the water.


Me with Sitges in the background.


I was basically obsessed.


I can't wait until it's warm and I can go back.


This will be fantastic in the Spring when I can wear a sundress and walk on the beach barefoot.


Couldn't resist this sexy man.

74. You and me both, and I agree with you completely on the whole thing.

I didn't read every number (I'd feel too much like a stalker), but I did enjoy a lot of the others! You're a sweet kid, Kelly, and I'm glad I know you. :-)

I did read everything-although I'm at work, and had to take a few breaks in between....of course there is so much to respond too!

I think I got my braces off 14-15 years ago?? (Holy Crap that's a long time ago!) I still try to wear my retainers a few nights a month. I keep swearing I'm gonna go to the orthodontist to get the permanent ones-but who has extra coin for that?!?

I also lived by the motto Cs get degrees! Somehow that got me to graduation...

You'll be a great nurse!

I worked in a nursing home for 2 1/2 years too-as an aide though-I thought the people were great!

I wish I could remember all the other comments I had for you.....I have yet to do 100 things...I will do it!!! I may apply the 25 from facebook though.

I love seeing all your pretty pictures-keep it up!!!

Oh-and I love hearing about all the food over there :)
