Last night I served as Shawna's designated driver. I ended up taking Drunk Shawna to the top of the butte to watch the sunset, cause we were driving by and she yelled at me that it was necessary.

7 down, 20 to go...
4. Take a road trip.
To Sisters, OR, with Shawna! Haha, not very far, but eventful all the same!
5. Look at the stars.
While watching a meteor shower with my dad and sister... we never saw the meteor shower, but we saw some stars. I'm still unclear as to whether there actually was a meteor shower that night?
8. Drink a Bloody Mary.
My new drink of choice, since I'm allergic to beer. With Shawna at dinner one night. And it was good.
9. Float the long river float.
Yesterday, with Shawna and a friend. It could have been longer, but we stopped at a good point. Oh, floating, I love you.
12. Hike the butte.
Done last Friday with my neighbor. That bitch is steep (the butte, not the neighbor).
18. Run through sprinklers.
Done.
20. Get a pedicure.
Pedicure courtesy of my second mom, who gave me a sweet gift. Except the man who did it was super creepy, and slapped my feet (is that supposed to feel good?) and burned me with hot towels. Yeah, I didn't get it either.
24. Fix my kitchen chairs!
Hells yeah.
Oh, that's 8. ALL ACCOMPLISHED!
I didn't take pictures of all of them. Sometimes I'm forgetful.

#18 & #24
18. Run through sprinklers.
Check! My sister and I went for a bike ride this weekend, along a path by the river, for about 7 miles. On the way, I found this open field with giant sprinklers. Clearly, a good opportunity. The only problem was that I was left smelling like dirty water the rest of our bike ride. Still, it was refreshing! I've always wanted to run through one of those fields, too.
24. Fix my kitchen chairs.
BOO YAH! Who needs a man to fix stuff? NOT ME! Well, technically my dad helped with this via text message, but still. I fixed these silly chairs, and I fixed them good. It's taken me several months, but finally I figured it out. I am a strong, independent single woman and I can fix chairs.

27 things
On September 27, I will turn 27. I'm not very excited about it. I feel pretty old. Sometimes, on Sundays, I take naps and go for Sunday drives with Shawna. Yeah, I'm that old. Shawna's already 27, so it's acceptable for her to do such things, but I've got a good couple months of 26 left in me!
As a result, my mission. To complete 27 awesome things by the time I turn 27. I'll probably try to photograph them, or something. I might only do one and forget about it. We'll see.
1. Take a quality nap.
2. Get another tattoo.
3. Twirl.
4. Take a road trip.
5. Look at the stars.
6. Hug someone.
7. Run like I mean it.
8. Drink a Bloody Mary.
9. Float the long river float.
10. Find a wedding date (even if it's my sister)
11. Go on a picnic.
12. Hike the butte.
13. Watch a sunset.
14. Ride my bicycle.
15. Have a dance party.
16. WARRIOR DASH!
17. Pay for coffee for someone behind me in line.
18. Run through sprinklers.
19. Sign up for my next half marathon.
20. Get a pedicure.
21. Hike Mt. Bachelor.
22. Eat a giant Pilot Butte burger.
23. Find an excellent gluten free beer.
24. Fix my kitchen chairs!
25. Swim in the ocean.
26. Do something to improve my karma.
27. Start writing a book.

Tim McGraw, I love you too much.
I just got this hospital bill for my Tim McGraw trip wherein I had to go to the ER with an allergic reaction.
Piece of advice: do NOT go to the ER on an Indian Reservation in the middle of nowhere.
As a result, I feel very, very, poor. Shawna convinced me to create a donation website for my hospital bill, because she feels very sorry for me. Her logic is that if 800 people gave me $1, I could pay it. Or something.
Tim McGraw is just too pretty! Behold:

How I came to carry an epi-pen in my purse.
Things that happened in the past few days:
1. Attended a concert with Shawna, ate food that I didn't think was too weird.
2. Began having an allergic reaction to said food (we think) and decided it was appropriate to say, "Pshaw, no worries" and ice my hot pink face while leaving to go on a road trip.
3. Stayed in a motel with blood stains on the wall. Except I convinced myself they were nail polish stains.
4. Went to the ER at 5 a.m. because my eyes and throat were swelling shut. Became very, very drugged out on antihistamines.
5. Got a speeding ticket, when I wasn't speeding, on a road with no posted limited where all cars with out of state plates were getting pulled over by a cop standing by his car and waving them over with his hand. $144 later, I said very bad words about that cop.
6. Went camping, but forgot chairs, cups, and basically everything but the tent.
7. Stroked Tim McGraw's leg, held his hand, and attempted to grab his butt. If only I were a few inches taller.
Worth it.

5 months later
I forgot I had a blog for 5 months. Meh, it happens.
Things that have happened in the past 5 months:
1. I gained 3,000,000 pounds (or what feels like it), leading me to begin seeing a naturopath, so that I could say, "Dude, what the heck?" and decide that my hippie-ish parents have more of an affect on me than I thought due to my inclination to see a naturopath when my doctor wants to put me on all kinds of pills. I don't want to take all kinds of pills, I just want to not feel like crap all the time, is that so much to ask? Can't herbs do that, or naps, or something?
2. Found out my thryoid is whack (I hate you, thyroid) and considered selling it on craigslist. Began taking medicine so said thyroid would behave. Considered hugging my naturopath, cause she kicks ass, but decided that would be weird.
3. Found out I am allergic to everything worth eating (wheat, eggs, whey... lima beans). Wondered how a person even becomes allergic to lima beans, and how weird I have to be to be allergic to lima beans.
4. Quit eating forementioned items of deliciousness, and discovered that I can now breathe, digestive problems are no longer, and I am not really supposed to constantly be tired and crazy. Thank you, food allergy test. Decided as a result that food allergies aren't really that bad...but I will still miss beer.
5. Started running again, seeing as how I can breathe now, and discovered it's a lot easier when there is a consistent oxygen flow. Felt as though I am starting over, but at least I'm starting, right?
6. Began a "bootcamp" with my neighbor, but since we're poor and don't want to spend craptons of money, formed our own bootcamp in our courtyard. Cars like to honk at us, cause we live on a busy road. Oh well.
7. Went fishing, caught 5 fish, but only got one actually out of the water and safely in my freezer. Fish are tricky.
8. Rode my bike to work and successfully navigated two roundabouts without dying. I have grand plans of riding my bike to work during warmer months, but am rather terrified of cars running over me.
That's about it.

Quarantined.
I have had a 100 plus temperature for 3 days. It is entirely possible that death is approaching.
The ER doctor was very concerned that I would infect my roommate, and told me to quarantine myself until I spent 24 hours fever free.
As a result, I am almost through season one of One Tree Hill. And I'm really, really lonely.
Conveniently, the fever is making me delirious and I'm pretty sure I'm hallucinating sometimes too, so I don't realize I'm lonely.

I'm just not doing so well at fundraising...
Dude, I'm kind of sucking at fundraising this year:
View my Polar Plunge Donation Page.
My only funds raised came from my mother. Hahaha. It's like when I was 5 and she was the only customer at our Kool-Aid stand.
