Day 4- A habit you wish you didn't have
I know I'm like seriously SO behind on this thing but I refuse to skip ahead. I will do any and all of these things on any given day but I want to go in order.
My habit is EASY to talk about. I have this terrible habit of biting my nails. I know. It's awful. I hate it. I don't like doing it. It's like a nervous tick or something. Not a fan at all. People tell me to paint my nails...doesn't help. I chip at it and tear it off because it irritates me. It's just like something not so fun. I think the only benefits to it is whenever I play the violin and piano my fingernails never get in the way. Mostly because...they're nonexistent. hahaha.

Friendship is love with understanding -Proverb
Not pictured: Naomi Scherette and Morgan Bouwhis
Ok...so I totes love this picture. So much that it's Kayla's, Savanna's, and my profile picture. This was the day we went to the beach one Saturday and just had fun. So! This post is dedicated to my friends.
Let's start with Naomi. She's the newest member of our awesome group and heaven only knows how we ever lived without her!!! She is SOOOOOO funny! I love her random stories. She has a story for everything and they are all hilarious. I have learned never to cross her though. If you do, she'll probably run you over with a tractor...after she burns your house down. ;)
Morgan's next. I love Morgan. She is an awesome baker and likes to make sweets for every occasion. It's wonderful. She's wonderful! She always says the funniest things at the most random times. The punch lines to her stories just send me reeling for days. She is so funny and so sweet and I'm very glad she's always around with us.
Kayla. Oh my heck. I love this girl. She dawns the nickname the pun queen for a good reason. She's always good with a joke or a good laugh or anything like that. She can always make me smile if ever I'm down. She somehow has a picture, meme, video, tumblr link, or anything for every situation. She also has a movie quote for almost everything. It's insane. If ever my Facebook feed has been blown up, it's because of this girl. And I love it. I love her.
Savanna Jane. Oh where do I even begin? This girl is my duet singing partner for FOREVS! We somehow just fit together when it comes to duets. Duets for days. Something I'm extremely jealous of? This girl can pull off anything. I'm serious. She could wear a garbage bag and it would still look good. She is not really ever scared to speak her mind. Most of the time, it is extremely beneficial. haha. She is always good for a laugh, a picture, a quote, or anything funny. I love all of it.
I don't know how we all came together, but I'm sure glad we did. :)
(P.s. I'm sorry that I'm so far behind on this. I'll catch up eventually. haha)

Hey there...partner... -Brian Regan
Day 2- Nicknames
(I'm not off to a great start here. Day 2 I totally and completely missed. Whoops. My bad. So today we'll get two in. Look for one later!!)
Nicknames. Nicknames. Well I have a bunch courtesy of my family.
Keli- This one is the one I use when people don't know how to pronounce my name no matter how hard I try. Drop the Ma, and you've got Keli. The only thing that bothers me is half the time people pronounce it wrong...STILL! I end up being called Kelly most of the time. I'll keep trying to get my actual name in.
Mickey- I think this one helped with my Disney obsession too. My mother would just call me this for fun. haha.
Doodlebug orMickey Doodlebug- This one is courtesy of my mother also. I think. I don't even know where it came from but it now lends it's name to this blog URL.
I'm sure there are others...um...Missy Moo (courtesy of my Uncle Brian), Kay, Make-li (pronounced make-lee...it's spelled how it sounds!), and I'm sure there are more. haha. Basically you can call me almost anything. As long as I know you're talking to me, we're all good. haha. :)

Hi. My name's Makeli. What's your's?
Day 1- A picture of yourself and 15 random facts.
That's me. Unfortunately that's not a recent picture. It's just a picture. It's a picture that was over a year ago. It's crazy to think of! Let's jump right into these facts shall we?!
1- I am obsessed with Disney. I'm not sure if this is a random fact, but it sure is a fact. I do believe Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth. I do believe I can be a princess in Disneyland one day. I do believe in happily ever after. I can quote almost any Disney movie like the back of my hand. The only thing I can do better than Disney movie quotes, are songs from Disney movies. If you ever need any help with anything Disney, I am your expert.
2- I love the Olympics. I think this especially appropriate considering they are going on right now. It is so fascinating to me to watch these amazing athletes compete in a world competition. It's so cool to think of all the hard work they've put into what they do and to see it pay off. On the flip side, it's heart breaking to watch some of their dreams shattered when they don't reach their goal. It definitely gives me a sense of some serious USA pride. (Plus...there are just some good looking athletes competing. Holla Ryan Lochte!)
3- I am left handed. This is one of those facts I use in a "getting to know you on the first day of class" setting. I do almost everything left handed. I hate writing left handed because when I feel particularly lazy, I drag my hand across my writing and get ink and lead all over the side of my arm. It's awesome.
4- I love Country Music. Whatever anyone else says is irrelevant.
5- I love dogs. Especially my dog Sadie. No one else is as loyal as she is. She can always make me smile and feel better.
6- Cats are not my favorite. I know where this one came from. hahahaha. But even though my Dad may not be the biggest cat lover, I can say I definitely agree with him. Especially living in Hawaii. There are stray cats everywhere and they are KILLER annoying. No bueno.
7- I live in Hawaii and attend BYU-Hawaii. Does that count as two facts? I've lived here for about a year now. Weird... Anyways! I'm about to be a Junior. My potential graduation date is April 2014 and it pretty much can't come sooner. I really do love it here. It may be school but...it's in Hawaii. It's sunny for 9 months of the year, and rains the other 3. All around, it's exciting. I love the culture, the people, the teachers, the classes, the beach, the ocean, all of it,
8- I do actually enjoy sports. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Would I want to sit on the couch for hours at a time watching sports? No. (Unless it's the Olympics. Different story.) But a game here and there is exciting. Football with the family. Basketball games with the family. Soccer games with the family. While sports is a factor, the common factor here is my family. They are what makes it exciting and oh so worth it.
9- Music runs through my veins like blood. I love music. Everything about it. I love most genres and can put up with all of them. I love listening to music but being able to play music is much better to me. It's a way of self expression that is beyond description.
10- I like reading. There is something so good about curling up with a good book. I have too many favorites to name but some good ole Harry Potter or Jane Austin can always take an edge off. Yes. Sometimes I even read classic novels for fun. Call me a weirdo. So be it.
11- I have a perfect driving record. HA! That was for all of those people who wouldn't think so. I have never gotten a ticket, ran a red light, or got in an accident. Thank goodness I don't drive here in Hawaii. It takes some of the pressure off.
12- I have never broken a bone. I have had a concussion but never a broken bone. It's kind of amazing considering that I am extremely clumsy. I have most definitely had my fair share of bumps and bruises though. Those are definitely common.
13- I am kind of on the superstitious side. I'm not a crazy person with it though. But yes...I did knock on wood twice for those two random facts above. I throw spilled salt over my left shoulder. I believe in good and bad luck. But, I have never had a terrible Friday the 13th. (Knock on wood.)
14- I love to bake. I totally regret not taking more advantage of my mother's amazing cooking but serious baking skills. Who knew how much help it would be in college?! I have done some practicing so there are some recipes I have tucked under my belt. I will gladly challenge anyone to a baking contest.
15- I am contagiously happy. Not to say that I'm not sad or angry on some days. Because I am. We all are. But for the most part you can find me with a smile on my face. I love being happy. I kind of think that being a downer is a waste of time. (Unless it's one of "those" days. Then it's a different story.) I love to make other people smile and laugh. There's no other joy to me, than to see other people happy.
Day 1 down. 29 to go. :D

Blog Mania!
Ok so basically I was doing SO well with my 10 day challenge and then the last two days my life have gotten SO crazy and I haven't had time to do it. Sad day. But, on the upside...It's August 1st!!!! Let my 30 day blog challenge begin! Yay! So basically, there's a subject I blog about every day for the month of August. I've wanted to do one of these for a super duper long time but I never really liked ALL 30 days in a row .Some of them were stupid, some of them I haven't done or have nothing to say about.
