Okay so first things first - graduation party

This Sunday was my cousins high school graduation party. 

My mom and the boy decided to get together and talk about all the "stupid" things that I do and vent to each other about how awful it is that I am such an indecisive person 

(okay, I admit...it can be pretty, really bad)

Here's one of their examples about me:

[Erin] Mom, which one do you like. The red shirt or the blue?

[Mom] I don't know, they both like nice! Either one would look good on you

[Erin] ...But if you HAD to pick, which one?

[Mom] If I HAD to pick...okay the blue

[Erin] The blue one? Really? You really think the blue one is better?!

[Mom] Okay, the red one then!

[Erin] ...Excuse me, miss! (at this point I am calling over a random person just minding their own business in the store to come over and give their opinion)...which one do you like...the red shirt or the blue?

[Random Person] Oh, well... I like the blue one. But they are both really nice

[Erin] Really. okay thank you!

[Mom] Okay - the blue ones the winner then?

[Erin] Eh, I think I like Red...

**This is embarrassing admitting but it is SO true. I am the WORST at making decisions!**

So, I guess they have a right to complain a little. After all...they are the two people who are with my non-stop :) I am so thankful they put up with me like they do!

Now for a funny story. Here is where I got back at my man!
(The best part, right?!)

I was sitting at the kitchen table and eating some Cheetos's. 

The kitchen table is sitting right underneath a ceiling fan.

As I start to grab the Cheetos's, my lovely boyfriend decides to "warn me"...

Um, hun - just so you know, those Cheetos are getting a little stale

-------------------

I look at him with a puzzled look in my face, like what the hell are you talking about?!

He repeats..."yeah, they are getting kind of stale. The fan is drying them out"

****Note: The Cheetos have only been opened and hour and a half ago**** 

WHAT?!?!?!?!? 

I am cracking up right now - you have no idea. TEARS are pouring down my face and I cannot control the laughter. He is busted. What a perfect time to embarrass him infront of people :) It was great!

------------------------------------------------------------

Next: Here is where I need YOUR HELP!

Here is the question that my boy & I are arguing over

Girls: Would you rather get a massage from a female masseuse or a male masseuse?

I told him that most all girl request to have a massage done by a female. He is convinced that I am just not the typical female, because I am wrong & girls want a male masseuse working on them

I think that is awkward - am I right? or is he correct & I am just abnormal? : /

Lastly - The Bachelorette was on tonight :) Episode 2 Recap/Thoughts

{1} William got the first one-on-one date! He is too adorable and I love him

The only "odd" part was the beginning of their date. They looked at rings & had a fake marriage.

Weird.

{2} I can't stand Ashley's laugh. I understand it's probably a "nervous laugh", but man it drives me nuts! I hope it doesn't ruin the show for me : /

{3} The crazy mask man STILL hasn't taken off his mask. PLUS he got a rose? Something is wrong with that picture. How bad would you feel if the mask man got a rose over you. I feel bad for the men that went home tonight, knowing that crazy phantom man beat them. Ugh.

{4} Bentley is a fake. He needs to go. The producers just want him for the hype & ratings

{5} I think JP is just the cutest guy & he reminds me of Heath Ledger. ♥

I hope everyone had a great memorial day

I am so honored and thankful for those who serve our country

The so called "Judgment Day"

 "Judgment Day"

According to a radical Christian group, tomorrow (May 21st, 2011), the world will come to an end.

Personally, I think this is just crazy for many reasons!

{1} We do not know when Jesus will come back to earth. Only God has the answer

{2} I personally believe the bible should not be taken literally. I see it as a guide for people to live by and learn from. 

{3} I do not believe that any religion (or person) is superior than another. I truly respect everyone's beliefs, whether or not you believe in God!

 {4} This theory is just crazy, weird, and honestly I think it's just fun to make humor out of it! : ) 

So - How are you going to celebrate Judgment Day?

As for me, I am going to:

*Indulge in some tasty Red Mango Frozen Yogurt*

*Attend the showing of Pirates of the Caribbean, while enjoying how good Johnny Depp looks in eye makeup*

...and enjoy the rest of night with my man : )

Well, enjoy your last day lovelies!
What are YOU going to do?

Teachers and Guns DON'T Mix

So, something rather disturbing was announced this morning and brought to my attention. In the lovely state of Nebraska, they are thinking about passing a law that allows teachers to carry guns in school. Now, think about that, really...does that sound okay to you?

(the reason this law is developing, is unfortunately at the beginning of this year, there was a school shooting at one of the high schools, killing one and leaving one severely injured.)

I understand that safety is the primary concern here, as it should be, but we really need to look at the bigger picture and take a step back to see if this will really fix the problem. 

First, it is important to remember that teachers can snap just as fast as students. They have stressful, long, crazy days and you never know what may be going on in someones mind. ( I am by no way indicating this is what teachers are like, but simply saying that anything is possible!)

Second, (when made available) this is what off duty/on duty policy officers are for. They are highly trained to carry weapons and use them when necessary. It's their profession and before they can even become accepted in the program, they undergo testing, background checks, etc...they do carry weapons, but they have a right. It is their job to protect us.

Third, when students are aware that there are guns in the school, accessability is no a problem. Although the guns will be locked away, they are still within reach & we know that students are smart and they could think of ways to get a hold of them!

How will this alter the classroom and school environment? Will it change the way the students act in the classroom? What about the teachers? How would you feel if you were teaching and you knew that teachers all around you had guns in their classroom? Would you feel safe? These are weapons are dangerous and this matter should not be taken lightly.

We all have opinions!

What do you think?

How Do You Feel About This?

What is happening?

I am very disgusted (and maybe disgusted isn't the accurate word usage here, but for now it will work) with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. According to the Huffington Post article out today (January 4th) they are suing other charities for using the word "cure" and the color pink in their fund raising programs. 

I don't quite understand the business world to much, but am smart enough to realize that their main goal usually is to make money. This is sadly proof for me that money is the first thing on their mind. If everyone is making a collaborative effort to raise money for charity then I don't understand the big deal. It's a word...cure. People want to cure cancer. I do not feel that the Susan G. Komen Foundation should own that word by any means, nor the color pink. This is as bad as Paris Hilton copyrighting the word "that's hot" -  I am very disappointed...

I don't know about anyone else, but I support breast cancer awareness and any fundraiser that wants to raise money for this cause. The more awareness the better. One organization is great, but multiple organizations are better.
