nom...nom...nom

Today has been one of those "I'm so tired I can barely open my eyes, don't wanna go to school, just want to sleep until I feel like functioning" kind of days. And the day hasn't even finished for me yet....*stares blankly*....my day won't end until around 9pm tonight. Yeah, not too thrilled, but I love my office and the people I work with, so it's completely worth it.

Speaking of work...I want to thank Faye for giving me a very nice compliment on my coloring yesterday.....Thanks Faye!!! I was relieving some stress by coloring in my Spongebob Squarepants coloring book that my friend, Lindsey, got me for my birthday last year (along with the crayons). You're never to old to color...just saying.

It's now time for:

(insert announcer's voice over here)

THE 30 DAY PHOTO CHALLENGE...CHALLENGE...challenge...challenge....challenge...

DAY EIGHT

A picture that makes you laugh

So, me and my friends went to the Memphis Zoo for Lindsey's 20th birthday celebration (gah it was frickin' hot that day too) and when we came to the giraffes, I saw this...

 

*giggles* this cracks me up EVERY time I look at it. That giraffe was mighty hungry...he didn't want the grass that was easy to reach...noooo...he wanted the special rock covered grass. 

He was one determined giraffe that's for sure. You ever need/want something so bad that you'd go to any length (within reason) to obtain it? I guess it depends on what it is and so on and so forth. Anyway, you know what I mean. 

So tomorrow....I'll update with day 9 and give you a run-around on what I get to/or have already done for the day!! It should be fun...got a booked day, but that only includes one class...all the rest is for fun...well...besides paying for rent...everything else is going to be AMAZING!

Guess Who's Back....Back Again

Hey everybody!

Sorry I've been distant for the last couple of weeks. I got caught up in the awesomeness of life heap of school work that stared me in the face till I couldn't take it any longer.
Is that a good enough apology for you? Hope so, because that's all you're getting from me at this moment.

If you can't tell, it's been a hard couple of weeks, but now I'm at a point where I can relax...well...for now at least. Let's make it worth it shall we?

I'm going to pick up where I left off with the 3O DAY PHOTO CHALLENGE...so, where were we.....AH yes, we're now at:

DAY SEVEN: 

A picture of your most treasured item.

I know this is a bit generic, but I take my blackberry everywhere I go. I feel naked abandoned when I forget it don't have it with me. It's really sad how important this phone is for me, but hey, this IS the 21st century. 

I am hoping one day my phone companion will soon become an iPhone...but that's going to have to wait until my financial situation becomes smoother.

Well, that's all I have to say for the day! What's your most treasured item???

Walking In Their Shoes For a Day

So, today is day numero 6 of the 30 day challenge. I'm not sure what photo I should use today...today's challenge is more challenging (ha, get it, haha) than usual. Today's challenge is....are you ready for it??

DAY SIX:

A picture of someone you would like to trade places with for the day.

Sandra Bullock is who I would love to trade places with for the day. Not for the reason to be a movie star, but to know what it's like to have the strength that this woman has. She's gone through so much and she's been the strongest she can and she hasn't been bitter about it (at least not to the tabloids) and it's amazing. This woman is truly an inspiration to me. I would love to be able to have the strength that she does.

It took me a while to figure this one out. Granted I did look toward the celebrity side of people (that's just because I don't get out much), but I've always loved her in her films and after what her ex (he who shall not be named) did what he did, she dealt with it the best she could and better than most that go through the exact same thing. That's the reason I chose to be her for a day. I would love to have that strength (and yes, it would be awesome to be a movie star for a day as well).

Aside from the challenge...today was pretty spectacular! I got to get out of O-town for a while and hung out with one my friends and her mom for the day up in Collierville at The Avenue. It was awesome! The first shop we stopped at was Sephora. I got some awesome GLEE themed nail polish (it's called slushied, and it's the color of the slushies they always get showered with). 

 

It's awesome!! I went ahead and painted my nails once I got home and I really like LOVE it!! We stopped at many other stores, but this was my only purchase for the day. One more exciting thing that we did today was that we went to Red Robin (yum). I can now completely agree with the commercials, I really did say yum after biting into that delicious moist and big burger. *drools* It was absolutely delicious. That's my tale for the day! Hope everyone is enjoying their Spring Break!! 

What did you do that was exciting for you today? 

As always,

Being Sick is No Fun

Who likes going to the doctor?
*no one raises hands*
me: Uh, huh, I knew it.

I personally do not thoroughly enjoy sitting in a waiting room for over an hour, then sent back to a room for about 30 minutes before the doctor comes in for his 5 minutes and then your out. Not a fan. I had to go through that whole experience today thanks to the fact that I'm sick and on Spring Break...what luck! Maybe I'll actually get all the studying that I need to get done while I recover this week. I would love to be out and on the beach or at a resort or even just road trip with the girls, but no. I start my Spring Break off with a BANG by having a sinus infection and it being nice and rainy!

On a more positive note, today we continue the 30 day photo challenge! Get excited!! Because today is...

DAY FIVE:

A picture of your favorite memory

The day I welcomed Max into the family!! I love him so much and he's been a great dog ever since I brought him home that thanksgiving week freshman year of college. Ignore the black eye, had a flag accident right before the break. 

I hope everyone has started their spring off in a more pleasant way than I have. I also hope that you all stay in good health over the break, and hopefully I'll be well enough soon to enjoy what's left before heading back to class next Monday. Have fun!!

The Big Two Zero

So, I'm going to be a little selfish and show you all what a great AWESOME birthday I've had this year!! Mostly through pictures...hope you like them!!

Birthday Happenings!!

Mom & dad got me a Paula Dean Cookware set and an Ice cream scoop!

I got to go to dinner at Kabuki with my sweetie and my friend from SC and his gf! I got an awesome looking drink that was fruity and was bubbling (it was non-alcoholic, trust me)! 

I also got to spend some time with the girls after an AMAZING dinner dad cooked up (steaks, baked potatoes, asparagus, green bean casserole, creamed corn, and baked beans)!! 

I'm a lucky girl, and I had a great birthday! I can't wait for the years that await me as I continue to grow and learn even more each year. I hope that all of you that have had your birthday this year, or have one that's coming up have a GREAT one and enjoy it as much as I enjoyed mine!!

Bad Memory! Sorries!!

So sorry I forgot to post yesterday. I have a horrible memory and it didn't hit me that I hadn't posted today until it was past midnight. The day flew by so quickly that I completely lost track of time!! I'll make it up to you though, this is the first of TWO posts tonight! I hope you enjoy!! :) 

Ok, so let's get this show on the road

DAY FOUR:

Going out to dinner with my sweetie and my buddy that came down from Charleston, SC (not pictured). I had a great time getting sung to...twice...it was a lot of fun!

Photo Challenge (cont.)

Hello hello everyone! My spring break officially started today!! It's been good so far, had a great dinner (20th Bday montage is coming soon, tells more about birthday) and it's been a great 1st day of spring break for me.

Ok, so on to the main reason for this post...

DAY THREE:

BONES!!! 

Absolutely LOVE this show! It's the only show where I can actually stand looking at all the blood and bones and nastiness that is the internal organs we have.

Enjoy your Spring Break!!

No Longer A Teenager

Today I crossed the boundary from teenager to full on adult...that's right...you guessed it...I'm now as old as the hills...I'm finally....

*dramatic voice* I'm so old...all those teenage years...gone...long gone...what ever will I do?!?!

I know, I'm being very dramatic (hint why I put dramatic voice, just thought you should know), but it's so weird to say that I'm 20 and that I'm no longer 19...it's going to take a while to get use to and by the time I've gotten use to saying it, it'll be my birthday again. I swear, the years are starting to move waaayyy too fast if you ask me.

I haven't really "celebrated" yet, thanks to school and work, BUT I do get to celebrate this weekend and I have the whole Spring Break to laze away, so it works.

Now, on to what I started yesterday (click here to see day one):

THE 30 DAY PHOTO CHALLENEGE

DAY TWO:

A picture of you and the person you've been closest with the longest.

My mommy!! She's my best friend and I don't know how I could live a day without her to steer me right...Love you mom!!! :) 

That's all I have for the day, there will be more to come as my birthday weekend continues!

Pictures....Pictures.....Pictures.....

So, we all know, most people love taking pictures, or love pictures being taken of them.

I have to admit, I am the type of person who loves both...so, this is what has inspired my post....

A lot of my friends on FB have been doing this and I've been considering it, so here goes!!

2. I have some awesome parents and a sweet lil brother.

3. I love my boyfriend...he's amazing. :) 

4. I'm an Elementary Education major @ Ole Miss.

5.. I love to bake and decorate cakes!

6. I have a doggie named Max, who isn't always the nicest to everyone.

7. I was born in Florida, but I've only known Mississippi to be my home.

8. I've played the flute since I was in 6th grade (now currently in the Ole Miss Band). 

9. I love chocolate....like...no kidding...ask any of my friends.

10. God is my favorite man. (no offense to dad & bf)

The next 30 29 days, I'll be doing the challenge and hopefully you'll be enthralled and find some of the posts funny/interesting. Hope you enjoy it! I know it'll be fun for me to do...it'll help me get outta the funk of school work.

My Coffee Addiction

Step one is admitting the problem.
My problem is that I like LOVE coffee! There, step one, complete. Honestly that's the only step I'm aware of. I know there are many more, but I personally don't want to give up my coffee habit. I love coffee and it helps me wake up when I'm tired and keeps me from falling asleep in class (which I do quite often).

Do I need an intervention?
Maybe I do..I'm not sure. I do spend quite a lot of my money on a tall (sometimes grande) White Chocolate Mocha/House coffee every Tuesday/Thursday. It's just so darn good! I can't resist!

 I blame Starbucks.

I also blame my cousin for this addiction, she's the one that got me hooked!

I still love her though!! And I don't think my coffee addiction will ever end. Maybe I'll start cutting down...maybe.

Do you have a strange addiction? If so, let me know! If you have a coffee addiction like me, we can help each other cut down (that is if you want to cut down, I know I should, but not sure I want to). But, that is all for now!
