Next Andy Samberg...You Got Beef?

I am currently having quite the hipster blogging moment right now. Sitting in a library eating carrots...it doesn't get any better than that...well I think I'm supposed to be drinking starbucks instead and wearing my glasses, but hey carrots are close enough. Anyway, the weekend was such a glorious time to complete bucket list tasks. Well actually task...I was a little distracted with non-bucket list things...such as napping, and well beer..oh and cats. Love cats. As I was saying, I completed another task, which you know, was interesting, but jesus I should not have been put in charge of the safety of other people's lives. I drove (sailed?) my first boat on Sunday, and my goodness it was quite the event. They're not as easy to steer as one may think...and I may have sort of, soaked everyone on the boat (I kept head-butting Neptune's giant ass waves), but hey I'm a beginner, and since no one drowned, I think I did alright. Oh and if no one gets the witty title...lonely island did a song called 'I'm on a boat.' Get it? I was on a boat, wearing flippy floppies. No? Man, I need to come up with better wit.

The Week From Hell

I've just been such a good blogger this week. I need a gold star or something...must find one. On to a more important note. This past week, from Monday July 16th, to Sunday July 22nd, I, the Queen of Conquests, went an ENTIRE week without ketchup. Now I know to many of you this does not seem like a huge feat...but I'm going to tell you right now...it is unlike anything you've imagined...Can you just picture putting food in your mouth and it literally tasting like something found on the bottom of your shoe? I don't think so, but I did it...all for the quest of the completion of this dang thing. A little background information on this special little condiment close to my heart...I have never eaten food without ketchup...EVER. Now I know this sounds a little extreme but I speak nothing but the truth. This week for the first time ever I tasted, chicken, roast, potatoes, vegetables, HOT DOGS, burgers, and fish without ketchup...and I'm going to tell you right now...food is disgusting folks. I thought I was going to die of scurvy. It was the ABSOLUTE worst, but I committed to this task and completed it. Thus you readers should be incredibly proud...ohhh and astounded because I could have died of starvation and then my cause would have been in vain. Now since I wasn't going to walk around carrying a camera to photograph everything I put into my mouth, I just took a picture of one of my dinners...NOTICE THE LACK OF KETCHUP....How I survived will forever astonish me.

Sometimes Little Kids Have the Right Idea

Hello once again you lovely internet people, you. I am pleased to announce that I have completed another task off the bucket list! Yes, I know that summer is quickly passing, but I promise you that many bucket items are in the process of being completed! I just tend to procrastinate because slacker is my middle name (I know some of you readers will understand this statement more than others). Okay, so this happened a while ago, it has just taken a long time for me to get photo documentation. Let's start from the beginning shall we? This year, I became friends with this really badass girl; literally looks like the epitome of cool, anyway turns out not only is she awesome, but so is her family (good genes I assume). Anyway, in this picture is my badass friend's mom. When I went to visit them this summer, it BLEW my mind that she made her daughters pinky swear instead of insisting on a measly promise. I thought to myself "damn this woman's got it right." You see I have this theory. Promises get broken all the time, it's just a word, but pinky swears, well they're actual connections of two people making something more binding. When you were a little kid, it was one of the worst things in the world to break a pinky swear...well besides having your chicken mcnuggets stolen by your little sister. They're simple, but man, you don't go back on that shit let me tell you. Anyway, I am a firm believer of the pinky swear, because you can't break those by crossing your fingers behind your back. They are the building blocks of trust, and well just plain cool.

That is all for now fellow readers. I shall be more diligent with my task completion....haha who am I kidding. I'm a last minute kinda-gal...jesus I sound like a cowboy. Yeehaw
