I Miss Soda!

I laid down at 7:41 tonight for a 19 minute nap and woke up at 10:22 p.m.(that's 3 hours later) to the realization that I didn't have any dog food and my dogs were letting me know in a not so subtle way (think barking, fighting, pawing, nudging, wet nosing, rolling, licking, kicking, knocking, etc.). So here I trudge at 10:35 at night to the local grocery store to buy dog food, all the while screaming and cursing "Why me?! Why can't I get anything done?" And then it hit me: Day 5 without soda.

Does my life really revolve so around soda that I can't stay awake past 7:00 p.m. without it? Yikes! This could be a deal breaker for me. I kind of rely on using all my time until midnight to get the things done that I get done. If 2 or 3 or 4 hours of that is eliminated because I can't keep my eyelids up, whatever will I do?!

The plus side to my late night grocery outing was that I heard a song I'm now obsessed with: Telephone by Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce . It's BRILLIANT! I already downloaded it to my phone which is kind of a big deal considering I only learned to use the iTunes app three weeks ago. Ahhh, welcome to the 21st Century.

Blog-A-What?!

Ok, I'm new at this blogging thing. I have been perusing other blogs and notice that many people blog EVERY day?! Well, in case you are interested... as far as my list goes, I have done nothing today. I am currently unwinding some floss and I have not had a soda in two days. Maybe I will donate blood tomorrow?

Is this the kind of thing you want to read? No? I didn't think so, so let me give you something better. I am roommates with two wonderful Great Dane dogs who rule our house. Hattie, our rescue baby, just got spayed on Friday and had her tail docked off because she suffers from Happy Tail. Well, she is a total spaz and couldn't keep herself away from her new tail nub and chewed out two of the stiches. One Sunday emergency trip to the vet later, Hattie dear is decked out in a new accessory:

Yah, the next 12 days should be fun!

I guess that's the most exciting thing I kinow today. I guess I'll have to do something more exciting tomorrow in regards to my list so that I have something to write about. Night night!

What is "Liz's 26?"

About a year ago my wonderful sister Nicolette and I made our "Bucket Lists"...the things we want to do before we kick the bucket. We brainstormed and brainstormed for a few days and came up with decent lists. Flash forward 12 months and guess how many I have actually completed?--zero. zip. zilch. nada. So, I decided there is no time like the present to start checking things off; thus my new challenge: 26 Things To Do While I'm 26

My job here is to set,accomplish, and document my 26 goals and keep this blog as a pseudo-diary for my 26th year of life. Your job as a loyal reader is to read, laugh, encourage, praise, ridicule, and give feedback on my adventures. Are you up for it? Yes!
