My Dad

Yesterday was my dad's birthday. I had absolutely ZERO time to blog so this will have to be a belated birthday post! Plus, after reading Ashley's dad post, I had to do the same because of how flippin cute it was :-)  I appreciate my dad so much just like she does her own!

There are just so many things I love about my dad. I love that he calls me "his first born."

I love that when he texts me, it's like he's writing a letter signing his name. See?

I love that growing up in middle school, and high school, he was always "the project guy." He helped my sister and I build school projects and weird crazy science fair stuff. Sometimes even COMPLETELY taking over. Woops!

 Dad totally rockin' the Porn-Stache

I love that he is always the go to one when my mom says no. I mean come on, aren't most dads like that ;-)

I love that he calms me down in panicked situations...like when I called him screaming and crying when my old car's window cracked on the way to work, or when my old car broke down in the middle of Boston rush hour traffic.

 This happened. Yes I was crying like a lil babe!

I love that no matter what, he is always there for my mom, sister, and I, and would drop a hat for us at any given moment!

Love you daddy Jordan! Happy Birthday!! You don't look a day over 25! hehe

 Few too many there, Erica? ;-)

One year ago today....

I wrote this post. It was my first blog post ever! Yup...today is my one year blogiversary!

Who knew that in one year, my blog would be my creative outlet, as well as a place for me to learn new things, be inspired, and meet some of the most AMAZING people I have ever met?! (both in real life and just over the internet)

And to everyone else I have exchanged emails with, texts, tweets, letters, everything...Thank you all....SO MUCH! I have loved learning so many new things about you all.

When I first started my blog, I didn't have a clue what I was going to talk about. I remember cringing the first month of my blog, thinking I was so lame and so weird. But then I started striking up email conversations with other bloggers, and eventually I realized that I am so similar to other people I have met through this little slice of the internet.

Thanks to blogging, I've found a million different recipes by stalking your blogs.

Thanks to blogging I realized I can tell you all pretty much everything, and get lots of positive support.

Thanks to blogging, I have found out that I really truly love writing, and I didn't waste $160,000 by going to college for writing, (granted I don't really write about journalist-ic things!)

Thanks to blogging, I feel confident enough to rap and vlog in front of you all just for a good laugh.

And thanks to blogging, again, I have met some of the most amazing people this past year. I wish I could put you all in a little box and keep you all to myself!

So, little blog, what's next? Who knows! But....I'm loving it :-) Oh...and I'm loving y'all!

Can you lick your elbow?

A few years ago I heard on a silly news segment that it was impossible to lick your elbow.

PSSSHHHH. Not if you have a lizard tongue like myself!

I'd like to introduce you to my elbow licking abilities, along with Kurt's messy apartment, and the nest that is currently living on the left side of my head.

Wow blogger...great shot to choose as my freeze frame!

Ludacris-What's your fantasy..eh? eh? I felt it went well with the whole lick thing!

Happy weekend :-)
