Just a homebody.

Wow! How sad! I just blogged today, and yet, here I am again. Blogging=one more thing to get addicted to (ex. facebook, hotmail, gmail, pandora, google, etc.)
I realized the other day while I was sitting at our kitchen table how much college teaches you... here's a few, hope it holds up against boredom for my readers.

36 THINGS I LEARNED AT MY FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE:
1. Everything costs money (harsh truth of growing up)

3. The library has a few decent chairs to doze in
4. Granola bars and other portable foods are a must!
