I'm gonna make it mine

Driving home for a visit with my family always give me the opportunity to take a break from my own life and reconnect with.... well.. myself. it's selfishly my favorite part of my trip. i get to tune it turn off and enjoy the ride. i have the chance to ponder life's truly important questions such as: Does Kid Rock really sell his music and if so who buys it? Why are 'up with trees' signs made of wood? perhaps the most perplexing of all life's questions - are hooter's wings really THAT good? I did however learn a few things this weekend that i thought i'd share with you:

1- it is important to pay attention while doing laundry otherwise you will end up with pink EVERYTHING! I hate pink. hate it.

2- I've watched enough UFC and MMA fighting this weekend i now know how to properly apply the 'arm bar' and could if i was provoked.
3- guitar hero + Aerosmith= lamesauce
4- upon recently having your heart broken it is unwise to listen to Delilah's radio show. Because even if you normally approve of her catchy 'slow down and love someone' slogan you will find yourself wanting to do the exact opposite if only to spite her and the entire concept of Love itself. 5- ....farm livin' is the life for me land spread'n out so far and wide. it is truly a blessing to be able to see the stars at night.
6- i learned what "king tut'ing" it means and i almost king tut'd on myself when i found out. (thanks Sammi)
7- While pulling over on the side of the road to pick flowers be sure to check for snakes BEFORE stepping in the tall grass. thankfully snakes ARE more afraid of you then you are of them. which is good because i was almost at that 'peeing my pants' level of fright.
8- Smiling is my favorite... well sunshine too.. and trees. okay all are favorites. with all these new revelations i feel like it was a well spent weekend even though i don't think i'll ever get over #1... too traumatizing. On a side note let me just say this is truly the best year of my life!! i can't wait to see what the next three months have in store!!
