Days 3-5: First Love, Parents, Siblings

Due to the fact that I have already blogged about Day 3: My First Love, Nordstrom's, I decided to go ahead and do Day 4: My Parents & Day 5: My Siblings.

This picture is my parents & me at the Iron Bowl game in Tuscaloser. We drove from Dallas to Alabama on Thanksgiving Day to make it to the game, which was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. My parents love sports, playing card games, working puzzles, watching NCIS & Criminal Minds, drinking half-caffeine coffee, and eating leftovers. My dad enjoys texting "Gossip Dad" updates of all the happenings in their life, he definitely has had some messages that qualify as favorite texts on whenparentstext.com. My mom has recently signed up for a Facebook account, and it is funny watching her "reconnect" with high school and college friends.

This picture is of my sister & me in New Orleans for her Bachelorette party. She is typically my voice of reason and keeps me from flipping out on people, haha. We used to spend countless hours watching shows like Full House & Friends together. She is the greatest cook I know, and that is saying a lot considering I like to eat. I wish I had even a fraction of her cooking capabilities; however, I'm afraid that three years of dorm living has made me utterly useless in the kitchen (potential husband - don't worry, I am a fast learner!).

Day 2: Meaning Behind Blog Name

There isn't too much to my blog name. These are Lott's Thoughts... Therefore, the blog is called Lott's Thoughts. I did recruit help from some people more creatively minded than myself to try to come up with something catchy and cute. I ended up deciding on the short, to the point one; ironically because nothing I ever say is just that. ;)

Day 1: About Me

Today, I am so bored that I decided to take on the 30 Day Blog Challenge... It will probably take me more than 30 days to complete, that is just a long time to be committed, but as long as we can all accept that from the beginning...

Ten Things About Me:
1) I absolutely hate eating leftovers.
2) I am shamelessly addicted to caffeine. Don't even bother trying to talk to me if I haven't had my Starbucks for the day, unless of course you enjoy being yelled out. I can't help it that I find unexplainable happiness in a Grande cup of Peppermint Mocha or a Carmel Macchiatto.
3) I daily thank God for spell check.
4) Growing up in Texas, you are bred to love football because high school football is a way of life. And then I went to Auburn. Football at Auburn IS life. The days spent in the off season are filled with dreams of Jordan Hare, the eagle flying over the field, and talks of all the recruits that were just in town. I now eat, sleep, and breathe Auburn football.
5) I enjoy being slightly inappropriate. Especially in situations where it is unexpected. In case you haven't met Phillip, you definitely need to. Also, if you have ever heard anyone yelling "I love Kurt Sasser!" out of a car window... I don't think it was his girlfriend.
6) My sister got married in October, and it was definitely one of my favorite days ever. I can't wait to see where her new life takes her!7) I am indecisive; but when other people are indecisive it is irritating.
8) I love to take pictures and scrapbook. I have a scrapbook for every year of my life going wayyy back. I can catch you up to speed on basically every moment of my life pretty quickly!
9) I could talk for hours about absolutely nothing and love all of the friends who let me talk at them all those times.
10) I am a freak of nature and actually enjoy working out. But I also LOVE to eat. At least they balance each other out right??

11) I ate half a batch of Puppy Chow while typing this... so now my keyboard is covered in stickyness. Oooopps!!

Christmas Break

Christmas break: A much needed time off from school work ... but also an entire month of living back under the parents' roof with rules and chores and sooo many questions!! What's a kid to do after going months on end without the nagging or "Since you don't have any plans today, would you mind ___" comments?! Naturally, they are going to get angry, try to find a way out, or just start ignoring them.... So in order to look busy, here are the things I have planned to do over break so I don't have to run random errands all the time:

1) Find Chase Crawford. --- After countless nights over the summer of attempting to find him in his native stomping grounds, I was disappointed to leave here without any victory. I will make it my mission to make sure I can spot this fine piece somewhere in Plano and take a picture with him to show all my friends back at school my hometown boyfriend.
2) Shop till I drop. --- Why even bother coming to Dallas if you aren't planning to fork up some major dough at the malls? What else would you be planning to do here? So watch out Northpark, WillowBend, the Galleria, or any other mall within a 15 mile radius of my house, because I'm coming for ya!! (No, that does not include you Collin Creek ... the only thing coming for you is a funky smell and AIDS.)
3) Do hoodrat things with my friendzz. --- Back in the day, the BlowPop Bandits were all the rage in the Plano scene... then there was the GHM ... I think it's about time to rekindle the hoodrat in all of us. We were pros at making Christmas lawn decorations do perverted things to each other. Hahah. Humping Reindeer babies anyone!?
4) Ring in the New Year in style. --- Every New Years adventure comes with a high quality story to tell. Last year, I spent over an hour trying to find a friend who ran away when I tried to drop him off at his house. The year before that was when the Quick Trip man pleaded with us to not vomit in the bathroom. There always seems to be some interesting occurance on New Years, and I can't wait to see what will happen this year.
5) Develop some kind of future for myself. --- Well, I just figured I should start thinkingggg of something... But thinking about thinking about getting a job or what I will do after graduation sounds good enough to me. I wouldn't want to strain myself with too much difficult work over the break.
6) Buy people Christmas gifts (and birthday gifts). --- I might have gotten a little behind on my shopping adventures before finals happened... I definitely have some Christmas and birthday presents to catch up with!! But not to worry, if this one pertains to you - something is coming! Might be later rather than sooner, but you will get something! Promise!
7) Figure out what Tumblr is. --- Everyone keeps talking about Tumblr. I feel like it might be inappropriate to talk about this while I am on my other blog account, but when have I ever cared about being politically correct? I tried to go on there today, but I can't figure it out. Obviously I'm computer retarded.... I thought this whole internet thing was supposed to be easy!
8) gLeek Out! --- I am super behind on Glee... Even though Twitter and E! have ruined some things for me, I am still DYING to figure out what is going on with everyone! PLUS, I "accidentally" ordered Season One off Amazon a few months ago and haven't watched it all yet. What better excuse than to sit on the couch all day and veg!?!
9) Check up on Chuck Bass. --- Similar to the Glee situation, I miss some Chuck Bass in my life. While I could really care less about Serena and her "all about me" drama that totally kills the show, Chuck and Blair is something I really care about. I need to know if they are in love or out of love or just fighting or WHAT! I can't keep it straight!
10) BEAT OREGON! --- Alright all you Tiger Fans, get your hands up for Bodda Getta!!! Oregon vs. Auburn for the National Championship game will be a battle of undefeateds, and Auburn is the underdog --- again! But we weren't expecting anything more. We LOVE being the underdog. Just wait, Cam will do the Heisman on those hoes and it will be game over. Phoenix won't know what hit them when my plane touches down on that runway! CAN'T WAIT!!!!

XoXo,
