Swallowed chewing gum will not stay in your body...
That said, swallowing LOTS of gum could cause a blockage in your intestines, which means serious cramps and possible surgery. But even in that case, that gum isn’t sticking around for 7 years.

It's Tumblr Tuesday!
On this final Tuesday of the decade, it might be a good time to take a somber look at where we’ve been, where we’re going, and where we are now. However, since this is Tumblr Tuesday and I’m me, I’m going to give you some whimsical predictions for 2010 instead.
In the coming months, I predict that Tumblr will release a feature to post Haikus in addition to chats and quotes. Tumblarity will be...
No flask in my purse...
…Being broken up with is never fun, take it from me. It hurts, it sucks, it makes you second guess yourself, but then when you know it was truly meant to be, you get a little gift from the love gods and that gift my usual suspects, is that fabulous fist pumping in the air moment when you get to say, “Thank god he isn’t my bf anymore!” Now, there has to be some substantial...

"We Want You Back"
Well Joe and Gavin, We want the Sacramento Kings back too! I have been a Kings fan since I was 10 years old; back when lower level seats were approx $25.00. Sure those days are long gone, but us die hard fans are not. We have seen a lot of changes in both the players and coaches. Some I agreed with and some I cursed at. Either way, it got us where we are today and things are starting to look up...

Do It Already!
You want to get something done. You want to write a novel, or make a movie, or make a video game. You want to be thin and beautiful, or maybe just rich and famous. Why haven’t you?
That’s not a rhetorical question. I’m not offering an excuse. If you want something done and it’s not done, there is no excuse. You haven’t done it. You probably ought to……and here is why……

Gives Me Hope →
A good friend reminded me today to remember that others have it way worse that we do. We are all quite fortunate to be where we are and let’s just hope that our lives turn out for the best.
So no more “FML” let’s just hope for GMH (Gives me hope).
People (myself included) should stop complaining and saying FML all the time. I’m going to find an alternative..You should too.

What is that smell?
Sometimes I want to ask…Do I have a moving target on my head??
This question repeats time and time again due to the most ridiculous experiences I seem to have the pleasure of diving head first into. As a newly single gal I have had some interesting dating stories, but none that will ever compare to this one…So Usual Suspects, prepare yourself for what seems almost to horrifically...

The change I wish to see in my world…..
I wish for 2010 to be a year of reflecting on the positive, leaving the negative and past chapters behind and moving forward. I wish to bless all those in my life, even those that have hurt and broken my heart. I wish to view every experience as one I was meant to have and learn and grow from it. I wish to not hold grudges but to believe...
