Does this make me a bad person?


1. I always take more than one paper towel while using the "wave hand in front to dispense paper towel" thingy.  
Don't even try to tell me one paper towel square dries your hands. 

2. I don't recycle
I barely have any room for my one trashcan to fit in the pantry. Let alone 47 different bins for my 47 different types of recyclables that need to be sorted by material, size, shape etc... 

3. I'll never let a driver over who stayed in the lane that exits too long. 
Oh hell no. This is the worst thing about Dallas. I never had this problem in Knoxville. People will ride out the right "Exit Only" lane until the very last minute and literally stop in the middle of the highway pleading with people to let them over. Causing a traffic jam not only in the lane that exists but also now in the left lane. No I'm not letting you over, you jerk. Learn to wait in line like the rest of us. 

4. I think hand sanitizer is for paranoid people.
 Germs are everywhere, hand sanitizer won't save me.

5. I tell the pizza man, "WE would like to order a large stuffed crust pizza and breadsticks"
There is no we. It is just me. And I really like pizza. A lot of pizza.



6. I think people who say they lose weight when stressed out are lying.
If you were for real stressed out over life, you'd be telling the pizza man that you and your 7 roommates need a few extra sides of marinara.

7. I enter mega bitch mode when someone argues with me.
I only argue when I know I'm right. You're wrong, I'm right. Shut up. Otherwise you are going to get mega bitch Sarah. Mega bitch Sarah is a stuck up little snotty know-it-all brat, she isn't a fun one to deal with.

8. I'm absurdly cocky
But just when I know I'm good at something. Like badminton. And fair basketball. And life. JK LOL

9. I get mad at girls I've never met 
Because she dated Tony Romo. Because she has a middle name that annoys me. Because she is from Alabama. Because she signed up for badminton also.

10. I'm a ranter
I'm 98% certain my friend Lisa doesn't read this blog and will never see this, but, yesterday I sent her a 12 page long furious, insanely angry ranting facebook-related text message. Her response was "I have no idea what you speak of." After that I felt like a moron for ranting about someone's silly status update. Who the heck cares?! But sometimes you just need to start typing or you'll never feel better. Perhaps I will remember next time that no one cares but me. Stop ranting.

If you haven't seen the pink cleats scattering the football fields of every NFL game or the umpteen amount of pink ribbons floating around Facebook lately then you might not know that it's Breast Cancer Awareness month. But have no fear because Erin from Two Thirds Hazel got a whole bunch of bloggers together to bring you a giveaway just to make sure you remember. 

The point of the giveaway is to raise awareness about this deadly disease as well as to raise money for breast cancer research in order to hopefully one day end it. And what better way to do that than to throw a whole bunch of PINK prizes your way to entice you to feel yourself up to check for lumps. That's right, feel yourself up by giving yourself a breast exam! Aka the only mandatory thing you'll need to do in order to enter for your chance to win. Win what you ask? Well let's take a little peek and see the prizes shall we.


1) A $300 gift card to Victoria's Secret PINK. Or just Victoria's Secret if you so choose. But either way you'll be getting TONS of new bras to carry those lovely lady lumps of yours around in. And with this much money you might even be able to snag some new panties and a bikini or two!

2) Over $100 worth of makeup and accessories. Snag yourself a lip duo from Sephora, a few blushes, nail polish, lip balms, a makeup bag, a watch, a scarf, a rose quartz and pearl bracelet, a pink pouf from Stella and Dot and more!

3) Over $100 worth of ad space. Get your pretty face on the sidebars of some awesome blogs in order to grow your own blog and gain more exposure.

4) $60 worth of Essie nail polish. You'll get five different pink polishes as well as base and top coats. Add in a pretty pink nail file and your digits will be thanking you for months to come.

5) A set of pink Vino2Go wine glass cups. Because what better way will there be to celebrate winning this giveaway than to sit down and pour yourself a glass (or two, or five) of wine.

6) A $25 design credit. After you're done shopping for new bras, painting your nails, applying makeup, throwing on new accessories and drinking wine, go update your blog with this awesome credit.









And now that you've met all of the amazingly generous ladies behind this giveaway, I think it's about time we got to entering it. So start stripping and begin feeling because the best method of prevention is early detection. If you've never given yourself an exam and need some guidance be sure to read the following information brought to you by the National Breast Cancer Foundation on the best ways to get the job done. If you already know how to get yourself to second base then carry on and head straight down to the Rafflecopter below to enter!


1) IN THE SHOWER
Using the pads of your fingers, move around your entire breast in a circular pattern moving from the outside to the center, checking the entire breast and armpit area. Check both breasts each month feeling for any lump, thickening, or hardened knot. Notice any changes and get lumps evaluated by your healthcare provider.

2) IN FRONT OF A MIRROR
Visually inspect your breasts with your arms at your sides. Next, raise your arms high overhead. Look for any changes in the contour, any swelling, or dimpling of the skin, or changes in the nipples. Next, rest your palms on your hips and press firmly to flex your chest muscles. Left and right breasts will not exactly match—few women's breasts do, so look for any dimpling, puckering, or changes, particularly on one side.

3) LYING DOWN
When lying down, the breast tissue spreads out evenly along the chest wall. Place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your fingers around your right breast gently in small circular motions covering the entire breast area and armpit. Use light, medium, and firm pressure. Squeeze the nipple; check for discharge and lumps. Repeat these steps for your left breast.

-----------------------

Since the primary purpose of this giveaway is to spread awareness, the only thing that's mandatory in order to enter is for you to give yourself the breast exam. The second option available for entry (although definitely not mandatory) is to donate to the Susan G. Komen foundation. This option will get you the most entries because you'll be given an extra entry per every dollar you donate. A $20 donation equals 20 extra entries. Make sense? Good. So get to entering and find some pink fluffy feelings in your heart to help out a great cause!
