Getting your purse and keys stolen is expensive:
-Dad changed the locks on the house (although it needed to be done for other reasons).
-I went to the DMV to get a new license. When asked if my weight or height had changed, I decided to be honest (mostly) and let them know my weight had gone up. The weight on there was from when I was 15 and I fibbed a little then. Although, what respectable woman doesn't take a few pounds off? Well I learned towards the end of the experience at the DMV that had I not been honest, the replacement license would have been free, but because I changed my weight, I had to pay $10. I call them on bullshit on that one.
-Dad finally called our storage unit to find out how to get into our unit, since the key was on my keys. It costs $25 and we have to buy a new lock. That's not a lot, but still, it's something.
-My mom had been harping me to see how much it cost to change the locks on my car since they have my car keys and my address. I called today. $500. And while that's cheaper than replacing a stolen car, that's a LOT of money.
Welcome to the adult world, Deeter.
In other news, I will be signing up for NetFlix in the next few days. If you have any input on which plan I should get, I'd love to hear it!

I cant really explain it
Here is a list of things that I consider to be facts:
1. Cake made with Diet Coke is Amazing. It seems that maybe I can be domesticated. Big Maybe still, though.
2. Funfetti icing is the best.
3. The fare for babysitting has soared since I was the neighborhood resident babysitter. For 2 girls (aged 3 and 5.5) from 6:30-11:30, who were incredibly easy to sit, I got $50 last weekend. When I was in junior high, or even early high school, I would have gotten no more than $30 for that. Probably $25. A few weeks ago, for 3 year old triplets, for 7 hours, I got $80. If people keep calling me to sit this summer, I will make a living off of it!
4. My dad is adorable. For many reasons. Most recently: Mom was cleaning the dining room and going through stuff on shelves. Dad found a "Class of 2008" photo album that matches my other photo albums that I prefer and gave it to me saying "Hey, I got this for you, and had planned on printing all the photos from graduation etc while you were still at the Civic, but we got really busy." It was super cute. Even cuter was tonight, while printing pictures to put in it he picked it up and said "I was gonna print pictures for you for when I gave it to you. I'm sorry." 5 minutes later, he says "You know I ordered this specially for you...from Target." It was funny. Trust me.
5. Also on my dad, there are many things he is and isn't. One of the things he is is incredibly protective of me. Which is awesome. It's like he loves me so much, he gets really heated when he hears of someone fucking with me, even slightly. We had a very to moderately minor event at our gym last week that brought that out in him.
6. Sitting on my porch at night, drinking wine, eating diet coke cake, talking about sex and sex toys with Ann and Frankie is the best.
7. Big production numbers in musicals make the world go round. This includes movie musicals, even bad ones.
8. The book The Emperor's Children was amazing. I highly suggest it, especially for transitioning adults/college students. Possible "review" to come.
9. I am going to Michigan for Fourth of July. We're going to visit my Aunt and Uncle/God Parents, their daughters, and their daughter's new baby Morgan. There is an outlet mall near them with, literally, 500+ stores. Hopefully we go.
10. My Aunt Kathy has this beautiful "secretary" (like the piece of furniture) that she is giving me. It used to belong to her Grandma Deeter, meaning my great grandma. How cool is that. Now I have much, much more incentive to get my rear in gear to finish redoing my room so I can put it in there. I saw it last week and its gorgeous. As soon as I get it, I will post a picture.
11. Who makes a list of 11 things? I do. Number 11? I miss my friends from school too much :(.
Update: 12. Getting a manicure from a 3 year old always makes you prettier. For reals.
13. Smiley and Snoop told me I was the strongest girl they know. Heckya!
ReUpdate: 14. My family and I are terrible at doing things on time. My mom and I finally stuffed and addressed my graduation announcements. I graduated on May 17. In case you didn't realize, today was June 30th. Yikes. Good news is I was able to include thank you notes in the envelopes. They turned out quite nicely.
15. I have a disgusting and embarrassing addiction to Living Lohan. Don't judge me. Yes, I realize it's a terrible, terrible show and that I'm only supporting them by watching, but I can't help it. (hey there terrible grammar/punctuation!) I hate myself for it. One of the upsides of watching? One of my fave blogs, Defamer, does an excellent mock write up of it each week giving the reader/watcher 3 lessons they should have learned from Mother of the Year Dina Lohan. These articles are hilarious.
