Friendly Memories

I am taking part in the Veracity 31 day blog challenge! Week 4 theme is Favorites! What is one of your favorite memories that involves your friends or family? Why is it one of your favorite?

I have dozens upon dozens of memories with my friends. More than I can count. But one that really sticks out is when my friends and I would always drive up to St. Augustine (about a hour long drive) to walk along the beach, eat yummy lunch, walk around the shops, and just have a blast with each other. We started doing it our senior year of high school and it continued into our first few years of college when we were all still living in the same area. We always had fun in St. Augustine and we went there A LOT. I miss it :) I miss those times but at least we have the hundreds of pictures on facebook to look at :P



Pink Puppy Dog

I am taking part in the Veracity 31 day blog challenge! Week 4 theme is Favorites! What was your favorite toy as a child?

When I was little I had a stuffed clown dog that I named pink puppy dog. She was a white stuffed dog with a light pink and white polka-dotted outfit with a clown hat (which ended up ripping off). I LOVED this stuffed animal. She went everywhere I went. She stayed in my bed with me when I slept, I took her with me when I went out, etc. I don’t remember this happening because I was too little at the time but my mother has told me this story before. Once I lost pink puppy dog.

Somehow I lost her. We thought I left her at maybe a restaurant or she was somewhere in the house but she was never found. I of course I was very upset (I was maybe 4 or 5? Not really sure!). So my mother’s solution was to buy me a new one. She went to the department store she got the original pink puppy dog (I think JcPenny?) but they only had a blue one. So she got me that one, which was fine with me. I named him blue puppy dog (I was so creative as a kid :P) and I loved him just as much until one day we found her. I guess my mom and I were about to watch a movie so she opened the entertainment doors we had under the tv to pull out a VHS tape for us to watch only to find pink puppy dog. Apparently my response when she found her was “I forgot I put her there to take a nap!” And once again I carried her around everywhere :P

I still have this stuffed dog at my mother’s house along with blue puppy dog. Pink puppy dog has some wear and tare on her, you can tell she lost some “weight” from where her stuffing has come out while blue puppy dog still has his hat intact.  She was my favorite stuffed animal for the longest time.


Place of Residence

I am taking part in the Veracity 31 day blog challenge! Week 4 theme is Domestic! Describe your current place of residence. What do you like and dislike about it? Do you live alone or with someone else? How long do you see you staying at your current residence?

I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment 2 bathroom apartment, with a nice sized kitchen and living room. I love the location because it’s right next to the FSU stadium so I can walk if I want to. Plus this complex has one of the FSU bus stops right at the entrance so I can take a bus to class if I don’t feel like driving :) What I dislike about it is the neighbors. Some people act like typical college students and will be loud by screaming or blaring music.

I currently live with my boyfriend and he’s been here since March. When I first moved to Tallahassee in January 2007 I lived with my best friend Becca (who moved out recently when she graduated!) and eventually another friend joined us in August of that year since we were living in a 3 bedroom apartment. We loved the place minus the horrible staff and the VERY annoying guys that lived below us. All 3 of them blared music at odd hours of the morning and we had a lot of problems with them. When our other friend graduated Becca and I chose to move into a 2 bedroom place which is where I am at now :) Although it still has it’s moments it’s a lot quieter than the last place!

Our leases at our current apartment are up in a year, so August 2012. I think we’d both like to try and rent a house or find a cheaper and larger place to live in if possible. I wouldn’t mind living a little further away from FSU campus if it meant it’d be a big quieter :P
