I'm 100.

My purge has been going pretty well, if I do say so myself.  So far I've filled 7 bags with unwanted clothes and a giant bag of random things I've been hoarding for about 15 years that I don't need anymore.  That's so weird that I remember stuff that happened 15 years ago in such great detail.  I'm starting to feel a little old. 

This is our filled up storage unit.

In other news, I can't believe Laura's in New York now!  I'm so excited for her!  And I'm not as sad as everyone else because we're going to have a fantastic time with my family on the 4th of July!

Lately I've been listening to a lot of the songs I listened to in high school, so a lot of boy bands.  I really miss boy bands.  Sometimes a lot.

Soon I will post some lovely pictures.  I mean, I would've posted them now, but I'm at Kirsten's and I can't take pictures of the things I need to take pictures of.   I've been staying with Kirsten a lot in Norman, and I love it.  It makes me feel like I still live in Norman at least.

I've been working a lot lately and I hate it!  I hate customers mostly.  People are so rude.  And disgusting.  The things they do in dressing rooms are gross.  I've been working in retail pretty consistently since I was 18 and people still surprise me with their rudeness and their stupidity.  I think all people should have to work a retail job at least once in their life to understand how incredibly rude they are.  Seriously, how hard would it be for you to hang up the things you brought with you into the dressing room?  Or at least turn that shirt right side out?  Or, if you see me frantically trying to clear off the rack of clothes from the dressing room, to just put those shorts back where you got them? Also, don't tick your tongue at me to try and get my attention.  I'll probably just keep ignoring you anyway until you say "excuse me."

I want to think of a new blog name.  Well, I mean I have been thinking of a new one.  I guess I should've said I want to change my blog name.  I'm over Once Upon A Blog.  So far I've thought of The Silver Lining and Pursuing Happiness.  But, I'm still undecided.

I really enjoyed Away We Go.  I thought it was refreshing and new and different and beautiful.  Thanks Tracy for the free ticket!  I liked it so much that I might even pay to go see it again.  I thought about writing a review of it, but I've since changed my mind.  I saw The Proposal earlier in the day with Alex and I thought it was a perfectly done romantic comedy.  I laughed pretty hard pretty often.  Plus, I love Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds is pretty to look at.

I don't think I'd want to be proposed to at a ball game, but I've always wanted to see someone get proposed to at one!  And I can't believe I forgot to tell you that one of my many life wishes came true at the Yankee/Ranger game I went to!

Slow start...

Yesterday I began my purge.  I know nearly every single one of you hates that word, but I think it's the most fitting.  I began with my bathroom.  I think I threw away probably 25 bottles of nail polish - including some that I actually remember using in elementary school and so much lipgloss that it's embarrassing.  I discovered that I have bottles and bottles of lotion, perfumes that I can't stand the smell of and bobby pins in literally every drawer or cabinet in said bathroom.  So far it's going pretty well I guess.  I've gotten off to a fantastically slow start.  I've emptied three boxes out of like a kazillion.  But, on the bright side, I did empty all the bathroom stuff.  My mom keeps saying that she wants to have a garage sale in July, but I don't think that's going to happen because I think she's said that every single summer that we've lived in Oklahoma.  And our grand total of garage sales is a whopping zero.

I had the most amazing time in Norman the last few days!  I love staying at Kirsten and Brigitte's!  And even if I caught Kirsten's sickness it might've even been worth it.  

I've also hit a wall on my lapboard making.  There are just too many good quotes.  And I'm just incredibly too indecisive to choose them or to figure out how exactly I want to arrange it.  

I love reading all of your blogs and I'm sad when there aren't any to read.  But, I will try not to be a hypocrite because this is only my 4th post.  I really want to write in here more.  And so, I will.  I'm also so excited for Megan's birthday!  Good job Meg for being born in June!
