One year anniversary plans

Hayley to Jim via text "What are we going to do for our one year anniversary?"

Jim to Hayley via text "Vote."

Are you freaking kidding me?


I turned in my absentee ballot like a good little girl. I get a note in the mail saying my count isn't valid because my signature on the outside of the envelope did not match my signature when i registered to vote. Let me clarify something to people, my signature has been the same for like a hundred billion years. secondly, I just registered to vote two months ago and they make you sign your name on your license is like a tiny witty bitty box, so maybe that's why! So now I have to do three things to make my vote count. 1. send in a copy of my passport or license 2. sign again! and 3. i forget what, but I'm outraged! How much is this costing them so send out additional letters all because my signature was off by a bit? Really People! Seriously! I mean seriously! It's not like it was not signed. Who analyzed my signature, was it a computer or a person? Highly suspicious! But don't worry I will do what they say so my vote counts. Insert a long heavy sigh. As if I don't have other things to do! Seriously!

PS-I'm trying to be like SNL with my serious words...if you caught that at all?!

Things about me you may not know (part 2 of 5)


21. I always thought I would make a great truck driver.

22. I use timers to get through my homework and writing papers.

23. I still have to use a chart to get through my week, and check things off as I go. I have also finally mastered excel, and when I say mastered I mean I can make a simple chart.

24. I hate my Mac (though its been alive for 8 years and still going strong). I wish they made a PC that wouldn't get viruses and I would be all over that. This was explained to me why Mac's don't get viruses...but I'll spare you. However, I realize they make windows for mac, and I might have to succumb to it, but as my brother states "that is like putting a pinto engine in a ferrari." So I thought better of it.

25. I have a scar on my upper left eyebrow due to my brother being mad at my mom and taking it out on me by throwing a clown car toy at me when I was two. He was four.

26. I should be writing a paper write (right now). haha, I'm a dork.

27. I can picture what my house will look like after I decorate it, especially my library.

28. I love good sheets, the higher the thread count the better.

29. I like my room cold with a fan on so I get nestled under covers all cozylike and cuz I'm a light sleeper and it drownds out noises.

30. I went to 7 different Universities in my undergrad. career. And no I will not name them, though I can!

31. I have seen Neil Young, U2, REM, The Cure, The Police, Michael Buble, Ben Folds, John Mayer, Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, Michael Bolton (not ashamed of this), Cindy Lauper, Chicago, Tina Turner, Tom Petty live among hundreds of others. Am still waiting to see Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon, and Steve Miller Band. Then my life just may be complete (only half kidding).

32. I've kissed boys from Spain, London, Netherlands, and Paris.

33. I am a certified scuba diver.

34. I've been in jail, twice.

35. My first "real" kiss was in the sixth grade. Hated it. With a congressman's son. I won't name names.

36. I love Magazines, but not the trashy kind about celebrities. I like Real Simple, Martha Stewart, Glamour on occasion, and Weddings by Martha Stewart (I own every one since its inception). I also like Dwell and Domino.

37. I love playing madlibs on road trips. Somehow they were funnier when I was younger. I used to save the old ones and write the date and where we were and who was with me and send them years later to friends that were on that trip with me.

38. When my sister Whitney was a newborn, we shared a room. When I went to school I would wake her up by tapping (very gently) her head against the crib (no jokes about her brain here) every morning before I left for school so I could say goodbye. My mom for years later couldn't figure out why she woke up at the exact same time every morning except for the weekends.

39. My mom would dress up as the clean fairy and come and visit the neighbors and mine bedrooms to "check" them. She would dress is zany outfits. I loved that. I couldn't wait for her to come.

40. I remember watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when I was younger with my cousins and eating mass amounts of candy and real popcorn, made on the stove while our moms rid our hair looking for lice.

What Jim offered.



So Jim and I went to get ice-cream last night after a very long stressful week (and it was only Wednesday) and after that we walked a lap around the mall like old people. He then said to me "I'm going to have to take you to that movie about vampires." Of course he was referring to Twilight. And i said. "I would never make you sit through that, there are hundreds of other people who would rather see it with me than you." That's why I love him. He offered.

Recently seen on Martha Stewart and now on the cover of Seattle Magazine for November as being voted the best dessert in Seattle, well Wallingford to be exact, Trophy Cupcakes and Parties is the place to be. THEY ARE AMAZING! Click on the link and learn of the flavors, from peanut butter and jelly to burnt marshmallow to snicker doodle.
