The Right Words

You pretty much know when the words "Well, when I'm president... " are spoken during a conversation about careless motorists that nothing nice is to follow. This conversation occurred last night while I sat outside continuing to glue my giant collection of beer bottle caps into a creative design on a canvas. My dad came outside to smoke a cigarette and moments later, my uncle joined us.

Whether I was ready or not, the two were about to have a brotherly discussion on what started out on the topic of Black Friday shopping and soon morphed its way into a back-and-forth on poor drivers. I just kept to myself (which is SO not like me, but I wasn't feeling up to joining in on the conversation). I quietly listened as I created more of my future living room art piece.

One of my dad's biggest pet peeves while behind the wheel is being in the presence of those who don't use the left and right lanes like "the law says they should." Left is for faster moving traffic/passing and right is for slow traffic. He will also tell you many other rules of the road until your ears bleed and you want to cry your eyes out. You just have to patiently nod your head in agreement and hope someone new walks through the door and saves you haha. Nah, he's not that bad all the time...

"Well, when I'm president... anyone with a handicap sign in their car won't be allowed to touch the left lane."

That was when I laughed. (Felt a little bad about it). And started packing up my project. As you can imagine, it escalated from there. Again, I say it—men...

That's all I'm sharing from that story. (You're welcome).

Today was a fantastic day for many reasons:

I woke up not feeling like complete crap and did a little dance around my room in celebration.

It was the first time in years that I filled up my gas tank with 89 octane (about 15-20 miles from empty) and the total was below $50. HELL YES!

I learned that (on a Mac) Photo Booth doubles as a mirror, so when you are constantly blowing your nose and messing up your make up, instead of making numerous trips to the bathroom, you can just look at your computer. Genius, I know.

Taylor Swift's new album "1989" came out today, and I'm so in love <3!!! Such an emotional, poetic compilation of love, lust, break ups and other T-Swift life experiences that every girl can relate to and totally appreciate.

These lines from her song "Clean" stood out most to me.

"Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe."
