If I were Rich.....

These are some things I would do if I were rich.... rich meaning having an unlimited amount of money because I'm sure I would eventually run out.....

1. i would definitely pay the rest of the mortgage for my mom's house and then let her remodel or whatever to it. she would enjoy doing that....

2. I would definitely go away for college for a year... i don't think i could stay away that long

3. Go to Disney World.... for like a month. I've never been and I really want to go! i think a month would be a good amount of time to ride all of the rides as much as i want. I don't to miss a thing.

4. Las vegas.... this is why i said an unlimited amount of money because no doubt i would loose half of it. but i think gambling would be exciting... for some reason i really want to do the slot machines even though the propability of winning is very small... like "unusaul" small which you wouldn't know unless you've taken statistics

5. Travel everywhere! pretty much i would just travel everywhere on my list and then everywhere else that would be interesting like spain, germany, italy, france, singapore, china, japan, africa, autrailia, new zealand......canada.

6. i would buy a couple of seasons' tickets for the braves

7. buy a decent car... i really want an old car like old cadillac or something

8. i would buy random movies like old classics and oscar winning ones..

9. i would definitely donate alot of money to different charities: animal shelters, cancer research, other disease research, women shelters, orphanages... sadly the list goes on

10. learn to fly a plane and then fly it randomly somewhere

11. get a blowling alley in my own house somewhere. bowling is fun...

12. i would be like the cat lady but with dogs.... i would have a dog farm... except i wouldnt sell them

13. i would buy smoothie king so i could have unlimited smoothies....

I'm tired of writing this because i wouldn't end up doing any of these things.....

Snow

Snow is a miracle in middle Georgia. It never snows... a lot. We might the occasional flurry during the night, but nothing like what we just this weekend. It snowed a good full two inches on Sunday. I didn't even know that there was even a chance of snow. I've always liked snow or at least the idea of it. After playing in it for ten minutes, all you want to do is go back inside and get warm. But that wasn't the case this weekend. It was barely cold enough for it to snow, but thank goodness there was a winter storm heading towards us. It started snowing little flurries when I was picking up bananas for work at Kroger. After I got home I put on my pajama bottoms and then my jeans. The double layering really helped because I wasn't really cold at all. But it didn't start snowing until later after I took like a five hour nap. I woke up and the snow was coming down hard. I jumped up and went outside. My brother and I actually walked around our neighborhood taking pictures. It was amazing! Snow is so wonderful and exciting. Everything was covered except for the road which is good I guess. I even made a small snowman in the neighbors yard. I wasn't allowed to touch our yard yet because my mom wanted it to look pretty. But we also took our dachshunds out in the snow.... the two long haired dachshunds loved it. They were just running around in circles in it, but our short haired Mitzi did not. not at all. We even put her in a little dog sweater but she still cried and hid under the car where my mom was standing. I had to take her back inside. It was kind of pitiful. Unfortunately we had to give the dogs a bath... ugh. After that I kept going outside to dance in the snow. Later my brothers and I had a snowball fight. It was good because it didn't hurt like I remember from when were younger. And I made a larger snowman in my yard. It was a pretty good size. When I was done, I kind of ran back inside except I fell. I hit my head kind of hard, and yeah. My body hurts especially my neck. It hurts to lie down.... great job me.

Things that Annoy Me or I don't Like

These are things that bother me or I hate....

1. When I have to work when I'm not scheduled to work

2. Screeching noises

3. The feeling of cotton in your mouth

4. That the sun is dying. It's going to explode one day, and everyone on Earth is going to die.

5. Richard Dreyfuss (the older version; I like him younger like in Jaws)

6. Peanut Butter - The smell gives me a headache. I've never liked it.

7. Homophobic people - What's the big deal? No one's really bothering you so just get over it.

8. Computer Viruses - Why do they even exist? Who even created them? They're just awful.

9. I have big feet. I really like shoes, but I don't own that many pairs because I have wide feet and they're just kind of big.

10. When I expect things to happen and then they don't. I don't like being dissappointed.

11. I don't recycle as much as I should. I should really recycle more.

12. Judgement in general. I know people have opinions and their own ideas but really sometimes they don't know anything.

13. People who criticize other people's beliefs or religions.

14. people who purposefully ruin someone's fun. Like this one chick was saying that everyone needs to get over the snow in Georgia which was a miracle. Hello get the stick out of your butt, because not everyone has seen that much snow especially in Georgia.

15. Not keeping promises.

16. That everytime I go to Kroger I get the buggie with the messed up wheel. It's either really squeeky or makes the cart go the left or doesn't move too well.

17. Drivers - almost all of them.

18. TV shows with the doorbell ringing or an alarm clock going off.

19. That I'm super clumsy.

20. people who don't look while crossing the way in the parking lot

I'm sure I could come up with a lot more, but I don't like that I'm complaining. I'm not really complaining but I'm doing enough that I want to stop.

Itunes List

So you know on Itunes they have celebrity playlists with the songs and why they're on there? Well that's what this is basically except I'm not a celebrity. I figured that list type blogs are really easy to come up with so be prepared for many lists. These are the songs I'll probably listen to for the rest of my life - my all time favorite I guess.

1. "You are the Sunshine of My Life" - Stevie Wonder
My mom used to sing this song to my brother and me when we were babies. Pretty much any Stevie Wonder is amazing, and I'll always listen to it. But if I had to pick a song it would be this one.

2. "My Girl" - The Temptations
Again any song from The Temptations is crazy good. I was definitely born in the wrong era when it comes to music. I love The Temptations; they're brilliant. "My Girl" was my favorite song in middle school and I would always sing it out loud at school which is saying something because I don't sing in front of people.

3. "Feel the Silence" - Goo Goo Dolls
Again they are amazing. Pretty much every song is great, but this one makes the list. It's not there most popular song but it's really good. I don't think that many people have heard, but it is on their best hits album... so I'm not sure. Also this song is currently most played in my library at 306. It was one of the first songs I ever bought on Itunes so I've listened to it alot.

4. "What is Love" - Haddaway
I remember watch Night at the Roxbury and I instantly loved it. It's up beat and catchy.

5. "Every Time We Touch" - Cascada
I think this song must be a cult classic. Everyone likes this song and sings the words to it even if they don't want to. It's extremely upbeat and fun.

6. "You Spin Me Round" - Dead or Alive
I actually listen to the Adam Sandler version from The Wedding Singer. It's really fun song to sing in the car. I've even gotten my brother to sing it with me.

7. "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" - The Clash
Again The Clash are epic. I instantly fell in love with this song and others like "Train in Vain" and "I fought the Law." They were also one of the first things i bought on Itunes.

8. "Cecelia" - Simon and Garfunkel
Amazing song. Amazingly fun to sing. My mom used to listen to this as a kid. It's definitely a classic.

Oh The Places You'll Go.... i hope

This started out as a Bucket List (a list of stuff you want to do before you "kick the bucket" ... you know die...) but it became a list of places that I want to go to. Hopefully I'll get to do a bucket list one day and even more hopefully I'll get to do most of it.

1. Universal Studios (more specifically the Harry Potter theme park)
Hello my name is Christina. And I'm a Harry Potter fanatic. But even if you just read the books, you're still gonna want to go to the Harry Potter theme park. It's going to be amazing! You'll be able to part of that world for atleast a few hours and it's sort of a dream come true to just stand in Hogsmeade. I don't care I'm a dork. I'm definitely saving up money to go; I know I won't even go out to the other sections of the whole park either. It's going to be soooooo exciting. The rides won't even matter either.

2. Las Vegas
Yes. Las Vegas. If you know me you would probably be surprised by this but I really want to go. I have got to wait a couple of more years, but I'm going one day. It might be a while because I've got to wait to save up again after I use all that money for Universal. I'm a little worried too because I think of myself as a good budgeter.... is that a word? But I don't think I would get too addicted. I'm really excited about the slots, even though I know the chance of winning big is slim to none and its basically throwing your money away but i dont care.

3. Disneyworld
Again, it's going to take a long time for me to be able to go. I'll probably go when I have kids of my own I hope. But I've never been! I know it's devastating, right?

4. Scotland
Actually Scotland should be number 3 but I don't ever seen me going there because I'll have no one to go with me. Maybe my sister, but I don't know. If I ever win the lottery then I definitely going even by myself. But I can't see me traveling by myself .... neither can my parents. yeah. But Scotland is sooo beautiful. It's got castles, Sean Connery, James McAvoy, and JK ROWLING! I mean I won't get to meet them or even see them but they're there.

5. Not sure.... Austrailia's nice but I would just go to just talk to people. I don't really have the urge to go there. I could be like Dwight Schrute and hike the Lord of the Rings trail in New Zealand, but I'm not big enough of a fan. I would say England but that automatically goes under Scotland because if I'm going to either one I'll go to the other because they're right next to each other. Maybe somewhere historic in the US like Philadelphia or Boston.
