College, Crying & Sleep.

I’ve been doing this whole college thing for a few years..
Saturday was my first college tailgating experience. Not kidding.
I enjoyed every single second of it. Oh, yes I did.

I guess I won’t go into a whole lot of tailgating details since I’ll probably bore all of you.

However.. I will show off my new Sodastream…

BAM. Yes. 330am.. after the game.. Lucas calls me while he’s at the grocery store and tells me to stay awake.
He claimed he was worried about falling asleep.. He asked me if I wanted to know the Sodastream flavors..
Honestly, I didn’t think anything of it. Anytime we go to the store I mention how badly I want one.
I never actually look at one because I know that I’ll buy it. He goes on about the flavors..
As usual I remind him that I wouldn’t mind if he bought me one. He laughs as usual and says, “OOOK Bubba.”

But, then 15 minutes later he tells me to come to the door. I’m annoyed at this point.
I’m exhausted. My head is throbbing. I drag myself out of bed. Open the door..
He’s standing there with the biggest smile and his hands behind his back.. Then he shows me the surprise.
I held it together for about 5 minutes before crying my eyes out. Which he couldn’t understand..

And.. if you can’t understand it either you’ve obviously have never been surprised with something you really wanted.

I love my Sodastream! I went out and bought so much to go with it. It’s amazing. Buy one, now.

 

A lot of you asked me about Sleepytime tea…
No, I don’t make a crazy drink that knocks me out instantly.
It really is just tea. I just use the kcups and put bags in it as well..
Add a little honey & lemon juice and it’s super fab!


If you don’t like tea but are looking for safer sleep aid..
try the Bob Marley drinks! Yes, they work!

Hopefully it’ll help some of you sleepless bloggers!

    You may have just convinced me to buy a soda stream. Also I'm gonna take your advice and buy some sleepy time tea... I can sure use a good nights sleep.

    I go to a school where we don't have tailgating or big games or anything, but I went to a game at a college that did, and it was so much fun! Such a great experience.

    As someone who was born and raised in South Bend, Indiana, I will not tell you what I think of Michigan State's football abilities.

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog.

These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond.

Friday’s Letters!!!!

Dear Bret Michaels, Once I had a film class. It was so badass and made me wish I was an actress. I actually love being in front of the camera acting.. ANYWAYS.. This was the closest I’ve been to you.. when I was on a fake Rock Of Love.. with a fake Bret Michaels.. But, I’ll be seeing you live this Saturday!!! Dear Poison and Def Leppard, See you on Saturday!!!.. I’m pretty damn nervous to party with a bunch of people older than my mom. But, thank you for giving me an excuse to have extra big hair and dress like I belong in the 80’s.. I’ll look better than all these old chicks that still live in the 80’s.. Just sayin’..
