Why am I still awake?
I feel like sometimes I'm really, really tired during the afternoon/early evening...but when it comes time for bed, I'm not tired! Weird, huh?
Anyways, I'm just marveling over the concept of sleeping. Does it really promote beauty? Does my skin, hair, and nails protrude with glowing features that people classify as beautiful?! I'm not fully convinced. Also, what the heck is up with sleep anyway? I am literally unconscious, unresponsive, and completely vulnerable! I have heard it said that "sleep is the cousin of death." Well then what the heck?! I don't want to sleep at all!! But yet, it is healthy for us? Confused face.
Is there such a thing as too much sleep? Is that a disease? Perhaps, kleptomania? Wait, no. Narcolepsy! What a strange disease. Also hilarious. God must have a sense of humor.
I like to do a pep-talk every morning when I'm getting ready (aka slabbing some paint on the ole' canvas), it goes a little something like this: "WOW! You look great! Do you workout?! High five!! (then I clap my hands in the air) CHEESE (checking my teeth after a thorough brushing), boom badda bannng ... <insert horrid rap about my hair/outfit choice>....ka-POW!" And then I touch my toes, do some last minute leg-lunges and head out the door.
That is totally normal, right?
Goodnight world. Tell yourself you look great today. I mean really great. :)
*True beauty comes from within.

Kettle Corn
Hi.
I love kettle corn. I recently ran out of regular buttered microwavable popcorn. So I was at Hornbacher's looking at other options. I fell upon this wonderful, magical gift of kettle-y goodness. I got home and quickly ripped off the clear packaging and threw it in the microwave. The sweet smell of preserved kernels of corn doused in kettle. Wait, why do they call it kettle corn? Is this what a kettle tastes like? Not sure. Anyways, the bags are 100 calories each, naturally, they are mini bags. I ended up eating four bags in my first sitting. Haha. Classic Taylor move.
The following events occurred to me this weekend:
1. I became part human and part fish. (From being in the water so much!)
2. Watched the new Batman movie and was enjoying an emotional roller coaster plot to the movie. SO GOOD.
3. I should not be allowed to look after plants. I kill them. Unfortunately.
4. I turn into the weirdest creature when I'm alone at home. Singing, dancing, acting, river clogging, imaginary beings, and even cartwheels.
5. Never write a long blog, because people will stop reading.
That is all. Thanks! :)
How's your Monday?

Shoes.
I bet when you read the title of "Shoes." you were like, great...Taylor's talking about physical, actual, and awesome shoes. But the truth is, I'm not discussing those. I'm discussing life in my shoes. So... sorry to disappoint (or excite) but here it goes.
Last night my car practically exploded on me. For real. Temp went through the roof 300+ degrees in the engine. I pulled over immediately and Nik got out of the car and looked around under the hood. Let's get real- he's no grease monkey, so this was entertaining. He gave a valiant effort, poking things and looking around with a flashlight... no such findings. Luckily, my father, Rick, is a high-class man who can fix anything, anywhere through any mode of communication. So I gave him a quick call.
"Perhaps it is the antifreeze level that is low." Me-NOPE
"Perhaps your engine cooling fan is out of order." Me-NOPE
"Perhaps you broke it." Me-YEP, shocker.
On with the story- the temp dropped about 15 minutooes later, and I was off. Parked in the garage. Walked into my apartment......This morning- my car is completely norman. Norman!! (Taylor's translation: norman=normal) I was upset, but slightly excited it didn't randomly combust and burst into flames while I was getting a typical 8+ hours of slumber-ucation.
As of right now: I am sitting at my desk at the Bobcat Company. Marketing the day away. Actually, I'm lunch-breaking while blogging. Forgive me world, please.
What have you done to make your self a better person today? Here are some of my faves to get the positivity rolling:
-give someone a genuine compliment.
-when someone asks you how you are answer: "Fantastically! What a beautiful day. How is your day going?"
-replace the negative people in your space with plants.
This is all for my first blog on google.
Loving life!
You should too!
Wishing you all the happiness you can wish for,
Taylor
