Let's Talk....

About how my entire life is one big embarrassing moment

Like the fact that as I sit here and type this I am wearing black sweat pants

So what, right?

Yeah well I also have liquid glue stains all over them right now as well....

What my pants actually look like right at this second...

Or let's talk about the a night a few weeks ago

The new boy that I told you about here just so happened to be at my house

Well we went out for ice cream and I payed

When we got back he wanted to pay me back...

I said no..

He didn't listen and put money in my hand

So when he walked me to my front door I thought I would be sneaky

I took off across the front yard like a bolt of lightning

I thought I was going to make it to his truck to put the money in there when all of a sudden...

BAM

I hit the ground

I didn't trip over anything

I just fell ... flat on my face... or my shins because they both have huge bruises now

Or let's talk about how the other night at my friends we were all talking about something

And someone goes "Yeah Becca (talking about me) said this the other day"
And I yell "Yeah Becca said that!"

Um... what?

Want another one?
You know you are an alcoholic (not really, but whatev) when you get auto-corrected once and the person you are texting automatically sends back "are you drunk?"

Either I am a really good texter or I am just drunk toooooo much

I'm sure there are more moments for me to tell you about

But that would be embarrassing...

Everything you need to (or don't want to) know about Thanksgiving

Let me start off this post by saying the average person consumes 3,000+ calories on Thanskgiving.

Umm.... what?!?!

It would take a 150 pound person running 29 miles to burn that off...

Yeah, now that I have enlightened you with that lovely piece of information let's continue

I love Thanksgiving

Although it's not my favorite holiday (see here) I do love all the food I get

The turkey, the mashed potatos, the green beans, the stuffing... I could go on and on

I also love being in a food coma ... I love eating the food then taking a nap

Then I wake up and eat the food all over again andddd take another nap

And I repeat this process throughout the entire day

Awesome, I know

Anywho, did you know that at the first Thanksgiving dinner they didn't even have forks?

Werid, but whatev

They ate with spoons and knives and their hands

They also didn't have mashed potatos (whaaa?!?!) or pumpkin pie (which I could also do without)

On Thanksgiving day Americans consume about 736 million pounds of turkey

Just on that day

I love me some turkey but holy smokes

Speaking of sleeping

I know it was a few facts ago but you know the difference

Anyways, turkey does not actually make you sleepy

It's all the carbs you consumed

Or the alcohol

Or the family

Same thing

Good news for you people out there who cook the whole meal though!

You burn about 700 calories cooking an entire Thanksgiving meal

Now if only we could stop ourselves from eating everything we just made...

Or if I could actually get up and make some of the food

I'll just sit here and eat everything and lay around

Sounds like an excellent plan to me

The Sexiest Man Alive

This coveted award has been given out to numerous deserving men

Such as:

 Matt Damon ... umm hellooooo

 Bradley Cooper ... He was Mr. Sexy on the Hangover

George Clooney ... one of my mom's favorites

But this year People has made the perfect decision.

This year they choose the man I have thought was sexy since I was just a wittleee teenager

My dog may or may not be named after him.... Don't judge

via

I mean just look at him

Now let's just look at some pictures of this lovely man, shall we?

 And we love that you love stripping

I just love this movie

Why thank you Mr. Tatum

Alright, enough with the blog post dedicated to Channing.

I think it's time I actually go watch Magic Mike for the first time

I know what you are thinking...

You love Channing Tatum but you have never seen Magic Mike?

I have just been waiting for the right time people, okay?

Have a great day! :)

I love shooting!

Guns

At non moving targets

Like paper plates, or water bottles

I don't know what it is about them but I just love it

My first experience was not that exciting

I shot one gun, it was too loud, so I sat in the car the rest of the time

But the past two times I have gone I have learned to love it

I even have my own pair of ear plugs for it now

:)

Some of the guns may or may not be to heavy for me to hold

And I might have gotten some bruises from some of them

And the little innocent baby ones?

Yeah, not so innocent

Some of those kick worse than the big ones

But I am a beast, swear

That is all.

First Dates Can Be So Awkward

But the one I went on Monday was anything but awkward

It went so amazingly well, I didn't expect it to go so well

The last first date I went on, well we won't even talk about that

But I was so extremely nervous to go on this one Monday that I was shaking

I hate first dates

They are always so awkward

But this date was different

We went to the movies and got ice cream afterwards

And as simple as that sounds it was probably one of the best dates I have ever been on

I did not stop smiling the entire time

He had me laughing the whole time and it was so easy to talk to him

He is super super sweet

And I am not just saying this, he really is probably one of the sweetest guys I have ever met

And I know what you are thinking, it's only been the first date

And even if it doesn't go any further than this I am glad he restored my faith in men

Because let me tell you, lately it was going so far down the drain I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get it back

So what I am trying to tell you is this:

Don't give up

And don't be nervous

Or be nervous

Because sometimes first dates really suck

But sometimes you get really lucky, like I did, and you get to go on an amazing first date

I hope your Wednesday is going wonderfully!

Hello, Hello, Hello!

Oh my goodness!

I just want to take a second to thank Tami over at The Things We Find Inside for letting me co-host her I Love My Friends GFC Blog Hop yesterday!

I have gained so many new followers who I hope will become new friends!

So I thought I should do a little about me post to introduce myself to my new followers!

First off my name is Becca, obviously

(I love the word obviously, you will learn this)

I enjoy being sarcastic 100% of the time

I fear serious talk 

I feel as if emotions just get to messy

So instead I joke around, a lot

If you would like to know who my future husbands are you can check that out here

I love the St. Louis Cardinals

I live and breath Red October

This picture pissed me off so bad after they lost to the Giants, I almost never went back to this Wal-Mart

Almost

I enjoy shooting guns, although this is a recent enjoyment I have found

These were taken yesterday

Don't mess with me if I have a gun

Which I don't own

I borrow my friends

But still, don't mess with me

I write about anything and everything that comes to my mind

Most of the time it's about my life

Or the life of celebrities

Because I tend to obsess over that for some reason

It's a guilty pleasure of mine

I also write a lot about this little guy here

He is my little cousin/baby brother and I love him to death

In March I will also be writing about this little baby girl

She will become my newest cousin/baby sister in March and I cannot WAIT
Ps. They are not actually a cousin/sibling, I just like to think of them as my siblings because I am so close to them

My life is not super exciting

I don't go on big adventures whenever I want

I am a college student working towards becoming an elementary education teacher while working two office jobs on campus

I mean, obviously my life is super duper exciting

I live in the mid-west which can also be called the-middle-of-no-where-with-nothing-to-do-ever

But I will try my best to entertain you

I love this blog and I love the friendships it has brought me

I cannot wait for more friendships along the way and I am so glad you have all decided to join in my non-crazy, not so exciting, adventure we all call life.

I would love it if you could follow me on Facebook

Or Twitter

Or Pinterest

Or Instagram @bgrandidier

Or all of them!

*Side note: I may or may not have a slight addiction to all things social media, glitter, pink, fourwheelers, boys, and books

Thanks for getting to know me! 

I can't wait to get to know you!
