Confessions of a Dumb Blonde...

You know something, I have always hated that blondes are considered to be dumb. Stereotypes always bug me but as I have thought about it I am sort of a dumb blonde myself. Not to degrade myself or act like I am dumb but sometimes I lack what  you might call common sense...

Example #1. I didn't realize that you can do zeros when you text message. I always used o's because I couldn't figure out how to use the gosh darn zeros. Apparently you just hold the zero button down...Major Newsflash.
Example #2. I ran into a wall...not just bumping into the wall...I full on ran straight at it. It really hurt and of course my sisters were there to witness, it also didn't help that there was a large metal star on  the wall that "cushioned the hit".
Example #3. One time while making hot chocolate I put the hot chocolate mix in the microwave instead of my cocoa cup. Then I discovered
 my cocoa cup on the counter and couldn't figure out where I put the hot chocolate mix.

Hehehe, so many other blonde moments! But hey we all experience them sometimes! I think it just a natural part of life to help us laugh at ourselves...Plus blondes have more fun!
"Hey Dip Face!"

Summer Accomplishments...

I have decided to celebrate the small stuff! So far this summer I have been able to do some pretty exciting things and have made some small accomplishments that I get excited about...
#1. I got my first kiss on June 8th.
#2. I saw 7 musicals on Broadway.
#3. I didn't use the airplane bathroom on the way to or on the way home from Europe.
#4. I finished Gone with the Wind, the book and movie. (Both were SPECTACULAR!)
#5. I rode my bike 30 miles (never doing that again)
#6. I jumped in a glacial lake.
#7. I rode on a train, bus, airplane, tour bus, metro, subway, rental car, boat and cruise ship in a period of two weeks.
#8. I ate pasta in Little Italy and in REAL Italy within 2 weeks of each other.
#9. I am currently working on Drivers ED, this is a big step for me. I am 1 observation and 3 drives away from getting my license.
#10. I managed to have a Diet Dr. Pepper everyday at Girls camp, even though that is pretty much illegal.
#11. I learned how to use a Tampon, which is also conquering a fear. Normally I wouldn't discuss this but I know that only girls read my blog so I feel ok about it.
#12. I have perfected my skills at the Lion House shaved ice wedding reception buffet. 
#13. I played my guitar in front of my Young Womens...it was kind of scary but way fun after a while.
#14. I have managed to actually hang out more then I did last summer...Way more.
#15. I slept outside on the trampoline with my cousins. I say I want to do this every summer but then I never do.

I know that these all sound so silly! But for me each one has been a big deal! Hopefully in these last few weeks I can accomplish even more!

The Twin-er GUYS

Here are some priceless videos of my 5 year old cousins Seth and Jack dancing and singing! Maybe I just think they are funny because I know them! Oh Ya! And their older brother Ben ripping his shirt off...Don't ask...
