Out Of Control

For my 24th Birthday I went skydiving in Hawaii... I know. I'm pretty cool. These were my final words before the jump.

Always on Vacation

I get newsletters from alwaysonvacation.com every week sent to my inbox. I don't actually read them. In fact I delete them right away. I don't know how I got signed up for them, but I am too lazy to unsubscribe. But every time I do receive an email from them I smile. It is so fitting for me to be a recipient of a newsletter from this website. As it seems I really am always on vacation. Especially right now in my unemployed stage of life. I have all the time in the world to do whatever. I may not have the unlimited funds I would like, but I make do.

On Tuesday I returned home from the most amazing trip to Spain. It was my first time traveling to Europe and I am in love. Everything was perfect. (sans the food in Spain) I will show pictures later.

Next week, on Wednesday I will fly to Fresno for some birthday celebrations. I am excited to make cupcakes for Ava's birthday party. I went to the library yesterday and came out with a few more cupcake/cake decorating books.

From Fresno I fly to Las Vegas for a few days, before I head up to Provo for my graduation. It will be a fun gathering of many family members and friends. I am excited!

A few days after graduation I will hop in a car (or two) with 6 of my friends as we make the trek to San Francisco. We will do a day in the bay area before flying to Hawaii!

I will be in Hawaii for 7 days. One of those days will be my birthday! Second time celebrating my birthday in the Aloha state. Me and 6 great friends relaxing on the white sandy beaches of the North Shore sounds so amazing right now. We are all stoked out of our minds and can't wait for April 27th to get here. I can't wait to get my hands on some delicious papaya :) This time I think I will skip trying to smuggle it back into the mainland.

Upon return, we will do a few more days in San Francisco and then it's back to regular life here in Beaverton. Hopefully I will get my butt into gear these next few days and I can have some work lined up for me upon arrival.

But right now I am just enjoying this time I get to spend with the people I love most.

Let's Ask

Thursdays Tidbits of (T)Wisdom:

-Yellow polish does not look good on my toes. I have been wanting to do yellow (like taxi cab yellow) for a long time now and decided I would do it today at my pedicure. Wow did it look bad! Good thing I had pink as a backup. And I am loving this pink. (Pink Flamingo I think. Or maybe it was Flamenco)

-Tomorrow I will be taking the longest flight of my life. I hate flying. Going to Hawaii a few years ago was a killer for me. I don't know how I will do the 10 hours to London tomorrow. I might need to enlist the help of drugs.

-I dream about the Cardinals on an almost nightly basis. 2 night ago I dreamt that we landed seats on their charter flight after a game. I was in heaven.

-My ears don't like to be pierced. They are extremely infected. But I read somewhere that I shouldn't take the earrings out. If I did, the infection would stay in my ear when the holes closed up. So now I try to cover my ears with my hair when I am close to people.

-I vacuumed up a worm today. I was vacuuming downstairs by the back door and moved something out of the way only to find a worm was living under it. I panicked and just ran the vacuum over it. I don't think that was a smart idea...

-I am excited to be free from cell phone contact for the length of my trip. I opted out of getting my phone prepped for european travel. I just decided to go without it. It's quite liberating.

-I vacuumed my room and washed my sheets for the first time since February. Sick. Now I will have clean sheets to come home to in a few weeks.

-I still haven't watched this week's episode of Gossip Girl. I didn't watch last week's episode until Sunday. What is wrong with me? Am I just too busy? Doubt it. I guess it's just not the same unless I watch it with the 3030.

-I am currently fighting a speeding ticket from Tillamook County and I will cry if I don't win. I don't have $200 to pay for speeding for 2.5 seconds.

-I want to go skydiving on my birthday in Hawaii. I will only do it if I find at least one other person to go with me. The reason for wanting to do it on April 30th?? You get a free t-shirt for risking your life on your birthday. That's worth it, I think.

-I can't think of anything else at the moment. And I need to get to the mall before it closes.

I Need Some Papaya

Despite the fact that it actually has been quite warm here lately, I want to be here instead...

Someone please take me there. For my birthday? OK!
