creatures of habit, chicken salad, and car alarms
Yesterday, I went off campus during a break between classes to get some lunch with a friend. Being creatures of habit (me especially), we only ever go two places when we eat near campus and today it was the coffee house that we've been to the last 4 times we've eaten out. I always park in the same parking spot. ALWAYS. But I decided to shake it up since we had been there 4 times in the last 2 weeks, maybe a little change in my routine would be good right? Not too much change though, because I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and if you guessed that's what I always get then you win a prize! Not really, you are right though. But seriously, this is the best chicken salad ever so why would I try something new? After eating my chicken salad sandwich and a bit of "studying"(that means my intentions were to study but it never actually happened...) my friend and I headed out to my car to leave. As we approached my car (her name is Rosie) someone's car alarm started going off and I started looking around to figure out where it was coming from. Imagine my surprise when I discover that horrendous, blaring, racket is coming from my car! My 1995 Ford Explorer has never made that sound in the almost year since I have had it. I didn't even know it had an alarm! And what in the world had set it off? My conclusion is Rosie must be a creature of habit too and was throwing a fit because I parked in a different parking space. I guess I wont be doing that again!

A bit about me and my blog
Hello there blogging world! I've been thinking about starting a blog for a long time and finally decided to bite the bullet and go for it. Please, bare with me since I'm new at this :) I guess I'll start with a little about myself and explain the title of my blog.
First off, my Faith, Family, and Friends are all tremendously important to me, its a common thing when you are born and raised in the beautiful south like I am. That brings me to my next topic, I am southern without a doubt! I say y'all, bless your heart, yes ma'am, and yes sir because that's just how my Momma raised me. I drink sweet tea like its my life source, listen to country music, and wear my boots everywhere including church and prom. I will write about probably the most random things you can think of and I will probably write a lot most of the time. I'm a little obsessed with pinterest, I like to cook, and I love kids. I can be a girly girl, but I'm not always which leads into the explanation of my blog title perfectly! (I'm really trying here, can you tell?)
"There's lipstick on my burger" has been the title of the blog in my head since I was 13 or 14 (I told you I had been thinking about this for a long time). This is going to take a little bit of back story so hang in there for a minute.
I've done some modeling starting from about that age and after a runway show all I would want was a cheeseburger from the infamous golden arches (you all know where I'm talking about). I was tired of eating healthy to make sure I stayed the same size between fittings and just wanted REAL food! So all made up and with my hair done, my mom would take me through the drive-thru on the way home and I would dig in. Usually I had dark lipstick on and thus would leave lip prints on the burger bun every time I took a bite. One night I looked down and said to my mom "there's lipstick on my burger... hey, that would make a good name for a blog!" and there you have it! Even though I don't do much modeling anymore I still have lipstick on my burger moments where my girly girl side, and my less then girly girl side run into each other, its just part of who I am :)
So there it is, a little snippet about me, a little (okay more then a little) about my blog title, and a promise of more to come!
