//giveaway alert//

so. sorry for excuses. i feel bad, but honestly i've had SO much other stuff going on. i haven't even checked stats in 2 days. and i usually check them like 5x a day. haha if that proves a point....

The giveaway. Over at AunieSauce i'm giving away these earrings. go check it out.

and the rest of this post will be entertaining yet extremely random. ok?

so. i was talking to a friend of mine today and this is what he said: "yea but you see girls are like volcanoes. They errupt without warning, they do it every month, and when they do, all hell breaks loose ;)"

i'm sorry but that is just pretty awesomely funny. sooo... me being awesome i made it into a picture quote:

{anyways that conversation was odd. i told him about a dream i had last night that my mom had a baby and my 4 year old brother named him helicopter which made me mad. so then we were thinking up nicknames i could've called it and we came across 'hell child' {helicopter>heli>hell>hell child>devil>satan} clearly i didn't like this kid. but please don't be angered or judge me... this was a weird dream ok?!?! and so then i said well did he think it was a girl or boy and he said girl because of that reason. haha i love him ;p}
