My Apologies

I know it's been quite a while since I've last spoken to you...there has been A LOT going on lately! (ok, well technically I haven't been busy for about a month now, so, alright, I admit it, I'm lazy so sue me!)

Since the semester has ended there really hasn't been much to do...so I've finally gotten around to posting again. I might actually be more entertaining this summer, seeing as I'M GOING ON A ROAD TRIP WITH MY COUSIN NEXT WEEKEND! Yeah, I'm a bit excited :) I've never gotten to do the whole road trip thing...so it's a great feeling!! (I lied...I have been on a few road trips, but this is the first one with my cousin!)

To add to the excitement of a road trip next weekend...this weekend I'm doing something some people would say is a bit extreme...BUT I'm doing it anyway! That''s right, you guessed it (even though you probably didn't), I'm dying my hair blonde and getting blue streaks in it!! Don't judge me...you know you'd do it too if you could!

Alright, so I've been avoiding a subject, we need to get down to business...a sticky note on my computer constantly reminds of what I've left unfinished. Apparently I'm not good with finishing challenges where I'm not really "challenged" to actually do said task....I think you get where I'm going with this...yup, I still STILL  haven't finished the 30 day photo challenge...sad, I know :(

To make it up to you, I shall start where I left off...are you ready??

30 DAY PHOTO CHALLENGE

DAY 13:

A picture of your favorite band/artist

 How can I pick just one?!?! I'm sorry, I just can't do that...main reason being is that I have no idea who my favorite band/artist is. It all varies on my mood...so don't get mad, but I can't just choose ONE out of the MANY awesome artists!! It's madness! 

Am I right?? With some people I guess you're able to pick, but with my awful decision making skills, I can't pick just one artist...I like way too many! My friend, Lindsey, actually just told me that I listen to "yell-y" music...which, yes, I do...but I also listen to classical...my music range is wide. I will not just choose one.

What are you up to this summer?? Any road trips/adventures of your own?? Shoot me a comment and tell me what you're  up to!

Amore

Love...love is a strong word when it comes to some things...like relationships with your significant other, family ties, friendships and what not.

What do I love?
hmmm...lets see...*counts on fingers*
God
my family
my boyfriend
all my friends
music (could seriously rock out all day)
watching tv (not sure what I would do without it, sad I know)
reading (depending on the book...on the Harry Potter series now)
coloring/drawing (creative by nature my mother tells me)

So, that's a lot of things that I love...and yes, I love all of them, just not equally...

Can you guess what today's photo challenge is?? If not...please do NOT become a detective.

DAY TWELVE:

Picture of something you love.

(fits huh? it's a valentines day cake I made for a roommate)

I love baking....like LOVE baking! It's my creative outlet and it's just so much fun to express myself through the cakes that I make and decorate. I know, I'm not Buddy from Cake Boss, or Duff from Ace of Cakes, but I aspire to be part of that crew one day. It's a dream that found me and I want to hold onto that dream and pursue it as much as I can!

What is it that you love?? 

If it's baking, I would love the help!! I have a wedding shower coming up that I'm making the cake for and I get to make my first ever gum paste flowers!! I'm sooo excited!

Dislike Button PUH-LEASE!

*thinking*

*still thinking*

don't rush me *still thinking*

What I absolutely hate dislike the most is, I would have to say is...well, you'll see in the picture below...

DAY ELEVEN:

Picture of something you hate dislike. (hate is such a strong word)

via 

I hate being bored...with a passion. I get fidgety and start thinking, in turn, making myself depressed. So, I always try to occupy my time with something. I color, I watch tv, I sleep, I do whatever I can to keep away from boredom..but alas, it finds me at times...and I always wish I could just kick it's butt to make it go away. Sadly, boredom has no butt, therefore, it cannot be kicked. Sad day.

What do dislike more than anything else??

Can We Say C-R-A-Z-Y?

So this is about the person I do the most crazy things with. If you know me, personally, I stay home a lot, but there are times I can get crazy...and I usually get that way with more than one person around. So, I'm breaking the rule on this one. I'm going to make this about the PEOPLE *gasp* that I do the most crazy things with.

I'm a big rule breaker, I know...aren't you proud?? Before I show you the picture and description, you should know this lil tidbit about me: I recently took this neat photo personality thing that I found on StumbleUpon and thought it was interesting and that it actually captures who I am...

• 29% sociable, adventurous, outgoing, energetic
• 75% sympathetic, modest, compliant, forgiving
• 38% efficient, organized, thorough, self-disciplined
• 58% curious, unconventional, imaginative, artistic

What do you think? (if you don't personally know me, you don't have to reply to that, but it's weird how I think this really does capture me, at least a lil bit) Am I being conceded? 

Ok, so on to the photo part!!

DAY TEN:

Picture of the people who you do the craziest things with. (okay, so breaking two rules, this is more than just one picture....who said I wasn't a rule-breaker?)

I think the pictures pretty much sum up how strange we all are...yeah, mostly me, but still. I love these people!

Who do you do your craziest things with??

Through Thick & Thin....literally...

I'm so bad horrible at keeping up with posts...It's sad I know. I guess some days I'm just not in a blogging mood even though the computer is sitting right there in front of me. I'm so lazy.

So, here is Day 9...finally...I swear I've got to keep it up with getting you these posts daily and not so spread out as they have been lately. (blame school and my laziness)

DAY NINE:

Picture of someone who has gotten you through the most. 

(it was recently her birthday, so I used a photo from her last birthday)

This my dearies, would be my mommy, Regina!! She's been there since my first day on Earth and has brought me through some hard times and has enjoyed the good times with me. I love her to death and I couldn't imagine my life without her. I wouldn't be the woman I am now if it wasn't for her. Love you mom! 

Mom, myself, cousin Katie, and aunt Barbara are going on a ROAD TRIP to NOLA next weekend and I'm so...so...excited!! I've never really been on a road trip before, well ok, that was a lie. I forgot about the road trip I traveled with a friend of mine to Conway, AR to see another friend at Hendrix. Anyway, I digress...where was I? Oh, yes...ROAD TRIP TO NOLA!! Sorry, just a little really excited. There will def be a post about that weekend! Just so you know, be prepared for AWESOMENESS. Now, I'm just getting a little carried away...sorry...I'll work on that. :) Have a great day!!!

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,

Live...Laugh...Love

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!! 

Live...Laugh...Love

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: 

A picture of your night. 

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:

A picture of the cast from your favorite show.

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!!
