Happy Halloween

We are passing out candy and watching scary movies all night!! 

Be safe out there!

Proof in the Snuggles

Here is PROOF....

That I love my little Gracie all through the day

AND 

All through the night

Blown Away

Tornados are touching down everywhere in the Carolinas today.  I hear on the news that one has touched down right near my parents house so I call my mom to make sure everything is ok....

Me (calling Mom): ring ring

Mom (answering phone): AHHHH!!!! HELP!!!!! I'm being swept awayyyyyyyyy!!

Me: MOM!?! Are you OK!?!?!

Mom: hahahaha... yeah, I'm fine... just had about 100 phone calls and decided to start playing with people. Did I fool you?!

Me: NOT FUNNY!!

Hope everyone is being safe out there!!

What are you coveting this week? 

Doo you doodle?

There is something you might not know about me.

I doodle.

When I am stressed, I doodle a LOT.

I make up these little stories in my head and just start drawing.

I can't draw very well - but I just love making up these little characters.  I have been doing this since elementary school.  I had books full of little characters with different names.  Sometimes I would cut them out and make clothes for them.

Some doodles are better than others

Do you have any great ways to relieve stress?

I wish I may...

I have a HUGE nursing test today at 1pm (EST) so my wish today is for an "A"!  

This particular test made 3 people from last semester fail the entire class and have to repeat it this semester. Let's just say I am REALLY STRESSED.  

(Are you wishing for anything? Head over to Kathie's blog to see what others are wishing for today!)

My New Exercise Plan

My mom wrote me an email saying that she started exercising this week

Now this is an exercise program I can stick with -- haha!

Looking Good

As you know (from this post), Gracie had a recent haircut in which they shaved off all of her hair....


Poor baby was feeling naked so she decided to go out and get a wig.  A girl's gotta do what girl's gotta do, right? 

The plans

Thanks to all who voted on my weekend plans

Incase you were wondering what I decided to do, here are the plans:

Friday:

• Off to the county Fair for fun, fried food, fireworks, and even some swimming pigs!!

Saturday: 

• meet my Nana for breakfast to say Happy Birthday (9am - 10am) -- I'm not going to the "actual party" -- it is over 1 hr away from where the rest of the events are happening.  We are meeting up at a halfway point for breakfast -- can we say compromise!? :) 
• Justin's 5 year college reunion (11am - 6pm) -- skipping the football game but doing all the tailgating/homecoming stuff
• My 10 year high school reunion (7pm - ?!?).  

So basically I couldn't decide I decided to do it ALL!

HAPPY WEEKEND!!

I am so indecisive - help please?

Lets Vote.... this weekend I have a lot of stuff going on.  I can't decide WHAT to do so I am leaving it up to you guys! Help me!!

Friday:

part 1 of my 10 year high school reunion (watching a football game at our high school)

OR

 county FAIR with friends (and lots of fried food!)

Saturday

 part 2 of my 10 year high school reunion (the "big night" aka meeting at a BAR?!?) 

OR

college homecoming (Justin's 5th year reunion) with lots of tailgating and seeing old college friends

OR

family birthday party (Brother is turning 40/Nana is turning 84)

Tell me which ones you would pick!!! 

Plastic Surgery is not for me!

Goofing off in the rain and smooshing my face against the car window

Scary that this is probably what I would look like if I lived in Hollywood with lip injections... NOT a good look for me!

Friday Flashback

Wanna see me as a 16 year old?

(Left to Right: Nana, me, Parents)

And in the background is my 1st car - a 96' Hyundai Accent in BRIGHT TEAL. 

We called it the "green machine".

Not sure what possessed me to pick out such a BRIGHT car -- it was great when I was 16 but by the time I was 22 (and still driving it) I was ready to have ANY other color in the world.

What did you have as your first car? Did you like it or loathe it?
