a. I am not that bad of a driver! Yes, I hit that mailbox once with my Mom’s truck (love you, Mom). And yes, there is a rumor about me and a dog, but it was a very foggy night, and the dog totally hit me. And maybe I got a speeding ticket for going 100 mph, but I was quite proud of myself for keeping my speed in check until I got pulled over. Plus, I don’t think I’ve gone over 25 in months.
b. Granted, I’ve never been there, but Utah isn’t all that rad from what I’ve heard.
c. You’re only amusing when your making fun of children’s artwork, Maddox.
Note: The proper pronunciation of ‘ma-d-dOX!!!!’ can only be achieved by Craig or Jeremy, who both know that the proper formula for funny involves 3 syllables and increasing intensity. I have also added a shaking fist pointed towards the big Montanan sky.

Fine, people, I give in. Time to enjoy more of my…what did Jules call it?…wisdom and insight, beginning with how I’ve felt old lately. The way I see it, there are some basic milestones in age during the past decade of my life:
13 - officially a teenager
16 - I’m not sure why, but it just is
17 - movies
18 - legal adult stuff (mainly just piercing without parental consent, for me though)
20 - multiples of 10 are always big
21 - so I could hang out with my friends before driving them home from the bars
I thought at this point the only milestones left were the big decade marks and maybe qualifying for senior meals. But then…
23 - old enough to land an acting gig playing a 15 year old! What tipped me off? It was probably when Craig and I were mistaken for a high school couple a few weeks ago. I have to say, I did not see this one coming.
And now, I would like to add to Jessie’s List of Things she Never Knew She Needed Until She Bought a straightening iron that gets my hair so hot, I burn my hands if I touch it too soon. This is on heat setting 10 of 30 even. Thank God my hair is forgiving, and thank Ama for recommending the Remington Wet 2 Straight.
Lord knows, Montanan’s love to talk about their “big sky”. Personally, I don’t get it. Craig claims that the East Coast has much smaller sky, yet he was unable to adequately explain what exactly causes this loss of sky. So, if any of you feel you live in someplace that’s lacking when it comes to sky, I would love to hear from you (this offer extends only to those who do not live at the bottom of a canyon or in the middle of a metropolis…no offense, I just don’t think those count).
