The month of August was groovy!

I have this thing for garden grown fresh tomatoes. . . they are just sooo delicious!

The month of August consists of my birthday which equals celebrating all week long, camping out all day for concerts that turn out to be one of my favorite experiences of my life (blog post to come), eating garden grown tomatoes with almost every meal (soooo good), hot/humid days, getting back into music (guitar & piano), crickets chirping louder than usual at night, getting funky feathers in my hair, not cutting my hair, working 12 hour shifts on 2 hours of sleep, and procrastinating anything to do with school until the very last minute.. .. .. so basically the month of August consisted of me being a hippie. I loved August!

And then I gave them the SMACK DOWN!

Ya'll know what I do for a living (no idea why I just said "ya'll", just trying to mix it up I suppose). So there is really no need for an explanation. . . but I am getting pretty dang good (knock on wood) at giving people the smack down. Or as I like to call it, "a come to Jesus meeting". Seriously, I'm getting better at telling people how it is and if need be, I use my ninja skills to smack 'em down to the floor! It's scary, no doubt.
This post makes me sound like some tough girl who isn't afraid of anything and who enjoys violence. Truth is, I'm a lot of talk and I would never hurt I fly unless I had to! There are a number of people in this world who I would never cross because I'm wayyyy to afraid of them. And I feel really bad if I accidentally step on a lady bug- I actually apologize to the dead bug. I know, weird. But I'm not all that nice either. I'm a bit of a hot head (it's the red hair, comes in our blood).
So I guess my point of this whole post is. . . (drum roll please...) that I'm really a scardy cat but if I have to, I can definitely unleash this red headed beast so don't mess with me unless I deserve it!

***I'm really slacking on my blog posts lately. Mostly because my computer is still messed up and partly because I just need to sit down, upload some pictures, and update it!
Things that I will get to at some point- Vegas was great. Caecee's wedding was great. My birthday was great.
And more importantly and much more exciting- The Sugarland concert is this Saturday. No words to describe how excited I am. I have pit tickets this year. We are camping out all day Saturday to get the front row. My little hands are going to be touching that stage!! WOOOOT! I love music and I love concerts. I'm so excited!!! :)

Scary. . .

This is pretty freaky. Freaky, as in 'freak accident'. I'm seeing Sugarland in exactly one week from today! And I have Sugar Pit tickets. I don't want to die. If I do, someone sing at my funeral.
If you haven't seen the news already, Sugarland's stage collapsed and killed 4 and injured dozens due to a severe storm. Click on the link and read the article for the entire story. So disturbing. There is also a youtube video going around the internet of it, but I find it extremely disturbing. Really sad! I hope that I come home from my concert safe and sound! Thoughts and prayers go out to all involved. Freaky sad stuff.

Where does the time go?

Next week I turn 20 years old and it freaks my freak to think about. When I think of someone who is 20 years of age I think of a mature grown up. Ha. I'm so not that. Feels like just yesterday that I was going into junior high. Strange. I don't like how fast time goes by. And I REALLY don't like being a grown up, or I guess I should say, the thought of being a grown up. All of my friends are turning 21 soon, and because I'm the youngest of my class, I'm still only 19. I really don't want to lose that "teen" of 19. It freaks me out. I know that technically I became an adult at 18 but come on, in my mind if "teen" is still in your age then you are still a teenager. And I suppose at 18 you are still a teenager, you just have legal responsibility. In my personal opinion, I don't think you should ever be expected to 'grow up'. Be responsible? Yes. But grow up? No. But in our society, we suck the inner child right out of ya! Heck, your brain doesn't even fully develop until age 25!! Anyway my point is, is that age 20 freaks my freak. Maybe I'm having a quarter-life crisis? I just don't think I'm up to par in "grown up" points as the typical 20 year old. But heck, I'm responsible and I have a good time. So I guess that life is good!
 Maybe I should buy a manual on growing up and how to act like an adult!?! Do they sell those? ;)
