I’ve (finally) come up with a mailer to send to places I love and want to work at! I’m SO excited about it! It’s going to be expensive to ship, but I don’t care. I need to get noticed! Here are a couple pics showing the products I’m sending to go with my ticket theme [...]

A couple weeks ago my mom and I went to Nashville. She went on business, and I went just to see Nashville and take a much-needed vaca. We stayed at the Gaylord Opryland Resort – that place is amazing! It reminded me of Disney’s MGM studios. There were plants, koi ponds, waterfalls, restaurants and shops [...]

This weekend I completed my first ‘major’ sewing project – a jacket for my mom! I’m so happy with the way it turned out! There’s a slight problem with one of the sleeves, but it’s easily fix-able, and I’ve got until next summer to do it because my mother refuses to wear white after Labor [...]

Just in case you don’t already know… IT’S FRIDAAAAYYYY!! And the weather is gorgeous! I can’t wait to get off work so I can go outside! I’m planning on taking the dogs (and my parents) to the Military Park for a nice run/walk. I don’t think I’ve been this excited about the weather since…well, at [...]

I found a really great tutorial on how to make your own headband here, and I thought this would be a perfect first project to use with my new sewing machine! (Given to me by my awesome step-grandmother). I modified the directions a little bit because I didn’t want the back of the band to [...]

A few weeks ago I came across these awesome babies: It’s a bubble tent by Bubbletree! I know right?! I thought the same thing! Let’s go camping! THIS is the kind of camping I’m talkin ’bout! Yes, it’s a far cry from roughing it on the Appalachian Trail, but I think once I’ve gotten [...]

One of my favorite websites is ideeli.com. They sell brand names at very discounted prices. You have to sign up for it in order to get access to the sales, but it’s well worth it. They have different sales every day starting at 11am, and they only last a few days at a time. It [...]

This year I watched the whole VMAs, from the new Jersey Shore episode, through the pre-show, and onto the end of the actual show. I have been skeptical lately of MTV showing Music Video Awards since they don’t actually play music anymore, but I guess if they don’t do it no one else will. Anyway, [...]

I thought I’d write an update on my Fitness Pal goings-on for the MANY people that I KNOW keep up with my awesome blog… ; ) The Fitness Pal has become more of My Fitness Enemy lately. Last week I ate at a buffet TWICE! And I did not do well… Buffets are my weakness. [...]

As of last week, I have added hiking the entire Appalachian Trail to my bucket list. My step cousin in Texas is doing it, and she has inspired me to do it as well. She looks like she is having the time of her life, and I know she will always look back on that, [...]

The Help finally came to theaters yesterday! Yay! At first I didn’t think I’d get to see it because no one could go, but then I got an email from my grandmother inviting me to go with her and her friends… I know, appropriate, right? Anyway, it was a great movie! Long, but great. It [...]

I have been taking care of the house and animals by myself this week, and since I can’t seem to get myself out of bed before the crack of 6:30am-barely in time for work, I’ve noticed the dogs seeming restless. We bring them inside at night to sleep, and I couldn’t get them to bed [...]

My life has been kind of hectic lately, and I literally haven’t had time to blog. However, I hope to have more time this week, but who knows what could happen between now and tomorrow? Anyway, a couple weeks ago I applied for a job in New Orleans/Mandeville. I went down there for two separate [...]

I have been at a loss the past couple days as to what to blog about, so I figured I’d just write a post of random facts of things going on in my life right now… – I am designing the entire print version of Focus magazine for Ergon this week! It’s a huge responsibility [...]

I’ve been watching The Bachelorette this season kind of religiously for some reason. Even though I didn’t really like Ashley to start with, she has kind of grown on me. I think it’s because she finally shut up about Bentley. She doesn’t look so clingy anymore. Now I’m rooting for her to find a good [...]

This weekend was a fairly good one despite a few small things going wrong. Saturday I went to see Harry Potter again with my parents. The movie started at 12:05pm, so it didn’t end til 2-something. By this time we are hungry. I have only had enough calories to make it 3-4 hours without eating, [...]

I just finished reading this amazing book by Kathryn Stockett. It is written from the point of view of two maids living in Jackson, MS in the 60s and a white woman who wants to write a book from their point of view. The white woman, Skeeter, wants to be a journalist and write something [...]

IT ALL ENDS… TONIGHT! Yep, you guessed it. Harry Potter, the final installment, is premiering tonight at midnight! And I have tickets! P.S. It’s in 3D!! Can you tell I’m excited? My friends and I are having a Harry Potter-themed dinner tonight. It’s technically breakfast for dinner, but we are going to [...]

As you can see from the title, I am now on Day 3 of the My Fitness Pal app. So far I have learned two things: Leave more than 380 calories for dinner on days you don’t work out, and carrots do NOT fill you up. Last night it was dark and dreary out, and [...]

That, my friends, is my running shoe. The Nike Nike Air Pegasus+ 28 Breathe Women’s Running Shoe. Originally, I had the LunarGlide+ 2 as my shoe, but I was mistaken… If you look them both up, they look a lot alike! My bad! In fact, they are almost exactly alike except for small changes in [...]

Yesterday I finally accepted that my calorie counter that I PAID for for no less than $2.99 is terrible! It only shows me foods I search for when it feels like it, and it’s ALWAYS slow. SO, I downloaded a new, FREE, app called My Fitness Pal. I actually read the reviews before I downloaded [...]

Yesterday I ran my fastest mile at 10:40! Yeah, I know that’s not super fast or anything, but it means I almost ran the whole thing and I’m pretty happy about that! I did have to walk up a hill once and that’s what slowed me down. I’ve been using the Nike Plus iPhone app [...]

For the past few months I’ve been trying to get in shape by jogging. I started with an iPhone app called Couch 2 5k. You start by jogging for one minute and walking for a minute and a half for 30 minutes. Each week you run more and walk less. I made it to about [...]

Hey everyone! My site is currently a work-in-progress because I am learning WordPress as I go along! I think it’s coming along pretty well so far though. I’m trying to style it after my resume…
