i know i know...

I said I was going to day 8.. but I just don't have enough time. So I leave you with this video. I love this song a lot right now. And She and Him.

Enjoy. :D

Day 7 - A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you.

For about 3 years I was making every decision about my life around someone who said he was doing the same thing. But for the last year I've gotten back to thinking about me. Yes, there are a LOT of other things/people that have a very big impact on me, but since blogger takes 9 years to upload pictures and whatsits, I decided to do things this way.



Money also has a huge impact on me. As I'm sure it does everyone else. I wish I knew how to manage it better. And how to just make it appear for doing nothing. haha :D

Day 6 - Your favorite Superhero and why.

Big Daddy and Hit Girl.


Seriously. If you haven't seen Kick-Ass, or read it if that's what you're into, then just don't even worry about it.


But then do it. You'll understand.

Day 5 - A picture of somewhere you've been.

(Yes, I'm catching up to day 8 all at once... deal)


MONTERAY BAY AQUARIUM!






The Monteray Bay Aquarium is seriously my very most favorite place ever. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I honestly (even though I'm sure it WILL be amazing..) don't even think Disneyland will outdo it. :D haha

Day 4 - A habit that you wish you didn't have.

Sleeping through my alarm. It's not a good thing to do, especially when you have a job that DEPENDS on you getting there to be able to do ANYTHING for the day.

Ridiculous. Some may say it's because I need to get to sleep earlier. Thing is, even when I do go to sleep quite early, by the time my alarm starts going off I'm still just sleeping away.

I'm going to invent an alarm clock that will throw me out of my bed. Or maybe on that will violently shake my bed until I am out of it. Either way, I need SOMETHING to make me wake up!

Day 3 -A picture of you and your friends.

Yes, I know I just BARELY posted day 2... But technically this IS supposed to be "day 3" right? So why not do them both now? haha.



I'ma double copy Jodi in this one and post more than one picture of my friends. Mostly because I don't really have one of me with ALL of my friends. And because there's just so many good ones. :D





I know, They're my cousins.. but they're also my besties..



Good Ole' Tanner Bray. Honestly one of my favorite humans.



My Dear Christy. I'm not sure what's going on with our friendship at the moment due to other dumb things going on. (apparently? :/) But I sure do love her.



Mauricio. My favorite even though he used to throw limes at my eyes at work.



The boys! Filthy and Skabbs. :D man.. such an old picture!



Another very old picture! With Hailey, Brandy, and Janice. It's so crazy to see how much we've all changed (and how far we've come!) from when this picture was taken. :D (obviously, another VERY old picture)



I know I already posted one of him.. But my Sweet Baby Matthew. I love his dumb little guts. He's been my rock through so many tough things in my life the last few years, I just don't even know what I would do without him.




And there you have it! Uh... Enjoy!?

Day 2 - The meaning behind your Blog name.

Shandihontas, is just one of my many nicknames. (When previously thinking about what to write for "day 2" I was going to list them all, but then I noticed later on I'll get to do that for one of these posts..)

I'm not sure who started calling me that first. I actually think I just called myself "Shandihontas" one day and it stuck around.

Let me break it down for you:

"Shandi" (Sh-a-nd-ee): That's my name.
"hontas" (hau-n-tah-ss): The last part of "Pocahontas". For those who are unaware, I am 1/2 Native American (Apache). Therefore, mixing the two names seemed appropriate.



And from that, we have "Shandihontas"!


Holla!

Copy Cattin'!

So, I really like the idea of blogging... But every time I sign on, I just look at everyone's blogs, think about maybe writing something-- and then give up and go back to Facebook to update my status. Ha! Takes off some of the pressure of having to actually write more than a sentence about myself. :/

However, last week while blog stalking, I saw that my good friend Jodi is doing a "30 days of Blogging" whatsit, and I too decided to steal that idea and run with it. Hopefully by the time I'm done I'll be able to come up with cool things to write on my own. Haha. I'm going to try real hard to update everyday. But keep in mind, more often then not lately I just want to come home and sleep. But here goes nothin!

1. I got rid of the Blonde! Since I'm being Paul Stanley for Halloween I decided it'd be best to go all black again. And I've had the blonde for over a year. Alesia talked me into doing a fun color as part of the "two-step process" So where you see blonde in that picture, it's now GREEN! (I would have taken a picture of it, but since this is my morning off, I still havent done anything with myself.)
2. I'm 92 and 5 at the same time. I could spend all day crocheting and doing word search puzzles. But I love Hannah Montana, and watching kid shows.
3. My hair is the longest it's been in 8 years and I LOVE it!!
4. I've never been to Disneyland... But I'm going to fix that!
5. I'm engaged to my BFF.. But only according to eeryone else. We aren't actually dating, nor have we ever dated. But any time we meet new people, they think we're together. It's odd.
6. I'M GOING TO BE MY COUSIN'S MAID OF HONOR! I'm so excited! Seriously.. you just don't even know!
7. We were meant to be in eachothers lives no matter what! Thanks to our Grandparents and silly things.
8. Swimming is the best thing ever! I do it about 85 billion times in the summer.
9. I honestly didn't realize that I'm working TWO full time jobs until about 3 days ago...
10. Kids are awesome, but I don't want my own.
11. I secretly want to get married.. but the thought also makes me cringe.
12. Cuddling is my absolute most favorite thing ever.
13. I need more sleep. But "You can sleep when you're dead" is my motto..
14. I really Really REALLY miss Zumba! Only reason I'm happy the Halloween store is only seasonal and is almost over so I can get back to shakin' it!
15. I really want to snuggle and watch Zombieland this week. If it doesn't happen I will be sad. haha


Woo?
