Day 10: Confession

Day 10 is upon us. Confession day. Dun, dun, dun! I have thought long and hard about my confession and I have decided to tell one that some people already know, but there are plenty of people that may not know it.
I was gonna go with something lame like, "I really enjoy Lifetime movies", but that just won't do, will it?

Ok.

My confession.

I have been arrested. 
(Don't worry, my parents aren't freaking out right now, they already know.)

Once night in Stillwater, I was partaking in some fun on the strip. My roomies were at home and I was out with some intramural guys. I had 3 beers all night. No, I am not lying.
My friend Jose asked me if I could drive him to his car because he parked far away. I dropped him off and then headed home. If you have ever driven in Stillwater, you know that the streets close to the strip are lined with cars. I pulled out from a side street and saw police lights. Wondering what I could have possibly done wrong, I pulled into a church parking lot. It's about 40 degrees, I have on jeans and pink high heels (no fashion jokes needed). He walks up to the car and asks me why I was driving in the center of the road. I said, umm because I didn't want to hit the cars lining both sides of the road. Which I wasn't exactly in the center of the road, whatever.
He asks me if I had anything to drink. Yes sir, a couple of beers. No reason to lie. I knew I was fine to drive home.
He asks me to get out of the car. Sobriety test time. I'm freaking out. And shivering.
I do the sobriety test. Pretty sure I passed. He says nothing to me for about 30 seconds, sighs, says he doesn't want to do this, and then spins me around and handcuffs me. I said, "are you arresting me?"
I begged him to let my roomate come pick me up. Nope. I mean, clearly I wasn't hammered.


I cried the whole way to the station as he tried to small talk me. I just kept thinking how mad my parents would be.

We get to the station and they book me. Fingerprints, mug shot, all while I am crying.
Then it is time to blow in the breathalyzer. I blew a .06. Hahahaha sucka! Told you I wasn't drunk. To get a DUI, you have to blow a .08. And I was now gonna get to go home. I was beyond thrilled and now I was mad at this jerk cop.
My friend Shemarr was the only one who answered the phone at 4AM and would come get me.
I had to pay $140 to get my car out of impound. Which I later was reimbursed. Once my dad found out, he was livid and took my case to the DA and I got my money back since I was legally ok to drive.

Long story. Somewhat happy ending.

Day Nine and a Little More

Today, you are going to get a special treat! I am going to blog my day nine AND I got invited from my pal, Tam, to play tag and answer 8 questions. I love questions. I love blogging. I love Thursdays. Here goes:

Day Nine: Two words to describe your life right now.

1. Hectic
2. Happy

To simple words to describe my life right now?! That is hard. There is so much going on and so much I could tell you about!

Now, onto the 2nd part of this post today:

These are "8 Questions" that Tam would love for me to answer:

1. If I could own 1 purse, what would it be? 

 Ok, this was hard for me, for several reasons. The first being reason being that a girl could never just own one purse. Different occasions require different purses. The second being I am not a huge designer loving purse lady. But here is my answer: 

If I could choose one purse, it would be a crossbody bag of some kind. Now, I know this may not be your style of choice, but hear me out. I go to lots of games, events, concerts, etc and a crossbody is the best kind of purse for these occasions. Just throw it across you, and go. You don't have to worry about your weight shifting all to one side with a shoulder bag. If this was my purse of choice and I had to attend a fancy event, I would probably tuck the strap and carry it like a clutch. Casual problemo...solved!

2. What is the one place you want to travel to that you haven't yet? 

Easy answer. New York City. I am dying to go there. I want see the lights, the hustle and bustle, the random celebrity, the homeless weirdos, the millions of people, the MET, Our Lady Liberty, etc. My mom, aunt and g-ma went when I was in 5th grade, ( I cried everyday because my dad couldn't do my hair) and I am determined to take a trip with my mom. 

3. What are your top 3 favorite movies? 

All of my favies are oldies, but goodies. I have watched these movies over and over again and they never get old. 

4. What was your favorite book as a child AND as an adult? 

My favorite book as a child was the Little House on the Prairie series 

 And my favorite book as an adult, and I know this is probably everyone's favorite and completely unorginal, is To Kill a Mockingbird. Such a classic. 

5. What is your favorite dish to cook? 

I love to cook all kinds of things, but I think my favorite is my mom's recipe for lasagna. I have perfected it and my friends love it. Laina tells me I am good at it, and if Chef Laina tells me I am good at it, then I must be! 

6. Tell us about your "SSB". (AKA, your Secret Single Behavior)

Well, since I have never lived with anyone romantically, this really isn't an issue. But here are some of my SSB's if I were to have a live in fella: 

I like to go to bed sans makeup....I know I should wash my face every night but, let's be honest, I don't. And when I stay the night with my significant other, I never wash my face. And I never take off my mascara. 

I like to come home from the gym and lounge in my filth... Ok, kinda gross, but so true. If I have a night off from the boyf, I like to come home from the gym, cook dinner, watch TV, and do all of this in my workout clothes. Don't judge me. 

I like to eat whatever I want....The boyf doesn't like veggies. I do. So when he is gone, I get my fill of veggies and I don't have to hear it from him.

I like to watch girly shows...I like Gossip Girl, Grey's, Desperate Housewives, 90210, etc. He likes ESPN. No compromise when he is gone-dola.

7. What is your #1 pet peeve? 

My #1 pet peeve is when I have met someone and the next time I see them, they don't remember me. It drives me insane. If Billy and Ozzie are reading this (which I am fairly certain they are not, I know you are tired of hearing this rant). But really ladies, it seems to only happen with girls when they just don't want to remember who I am. I mean, I am by no means a local celebrity, but Tulsa is fairly small, and we run with a tight circle and there are connections everywhere. I know that I am oddly weird about knowing people and remembering faces and such, but I can't stand when people act like they haven't met me. I love when they say, "we haven't met, I'm so and so", and I get to come back with, "Yes, we met at ____." Bam.

8. Who is your ultimate style icon? 

I'm sorry Tam. But it is totally Jennifer Anniston. I love her everyday style. So breezy and comfy, yet so cute. She is a tiny little thing and can rock a pair of jeans like no other. Her red carpet style never fails either. 

 

Day Eight: Three turn ons

I consulted with Elaina, and we have decided to change this blog topic to 3 attractive qualities. Here goes:

3. Open communication. There is no greater way to bond with someone than to be honest and talk openly. Bottling up your feelings with only result in questioning how the other person really feels.

2. Small gestures. I love small, thoughtful gestures. I love to receive them and to give them.

1. Ok, this is more geared towards the actual topic of this day: the hand on the side of the face during a kiss. Nothing is better than that.

Day Seven: Four turn offs

4. Bad teeth
3. Bad breath
2. Neediness
1. Immaturity

Day Six: Five people who mean a lot to you.

I'm sure if you are a blog reader of mine, you are well aware of the people that mean a lot to me. But anyway, here goes: (and I may have added one to the list. I could barely choose 5, cut me some slack!)

1. Lauren Heathcock: My little mini me. She has been my best friend since the moment she the moment she was born.

2. Allison Heathcock: No one makes me laugh more than this girl. Seriously, she is hilarious.

3. Jordyn Heathcock: So sweet and so ornery at the same time. I just want to eat her up.

4. My Mom: There is no one else in the world that I can trust like my mom. She loves me unconditionally, as I do her. I have to keep this short and sweet or I might tear up.

My Dad: Hands down the best dad ever. He would literally give me the shirt off his back. He does anything and everything for anyone and never asks for anything in return.

5. Katie Lauck: My first cousin but more my sister. My Paris partner, my best friend.

Day Five: Six things you wish you could change or you wish you’d never done

6. I wish I had gone on a that date with Sean Ruark. He asked. I had never been on a date and was nervous. How lame.

5. I wish I had gone to grad school.

4. I wish I could change my hairstyle in 6th grade. It was awful. No one told me.

3. I wish I could change the world of daycare so that working parents had better options and felt more confident leaving their children.

2. I wish I had the nerve to go brunette, just to try it and see if I liked it.

1.I wish I had gone to OSU my freshman year of college and lived in the dorms. Maybe it would have been a good experience for me.

Day 4: Seven things that cross your mind a lot

1. Is this concealer covering my dark circles?
2. I wish Katie and Kristin lived closer.
3. What should I do at the gym tonight?
4. When will I see my nieces again?
5. I'm already hungry for lunch and it's only 11 AM.
6. I wish I could get my hair done every 8 weeks.
7. My canker sores hurt.
