New Car!!!

I got a brand new car. It's a 2011 Toyota Corolla. It's pretty stinkin' awesome. I do miss Reba. We were attached. But it was past time for an upgrade. Plus my Dad was tired of fixing Reba all the time.

Anyhow, I think I'm going to name her Kristi after Kristi Yamaguchi.

I think this is a very fitting name because Kristi is Japanese-American and the 1992 U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist in figure skating (my car is the "Sports" edition). Eh?

Summer Bucket List 2011

I'm excited for this summer! It's been a long, busy year since I graduated from university. I'm officially debt-free, and I feel like a huge burden has been taken off my shoulders. I have resolved to have lots more fun and not bend over backwards working so hard. So I decided to create a summer bucket list.

- Hot Air Balloon Ride
- Swamp Tour
- Canoe once a month every month the whole summer!
- Ride a cow (or mechanical bull...or a horse...something...)
- Play paintball
- Camp at the river
- Play golf
- Drink something (virgin) with an umbrella in it!
- Ride in a crawfish boat
- Eat crawfish (more than once)
- Ride a tandem bike
- Sew a quilt
- Go on a picnic
- Catch fireflies in a jar
- Get a henna tattoo
- Conquer a fear (hold a tarantula maybe?)
- Do a chinese fire drill!
- Plant a tree
- Learn to juggle
- Get a stamp in my passport
- Gamble
- Read Anna Karenina in Russian!
- Take the GRE!
- Tell someone "no!"
- Milk a cow
- Eat caviar and oysters
- Test drive a new car

That's what I have thus far. I might add more to it. Summer is longer in Louisiana. It starts earlier and ends later than other places (my definition of summer is the hot season....). If ya'll have any suggestions--just holler. ;)
