Are We There Yet?

Is it Friday??

I think Thursdays are the hardest days of the week. You are already tired and ready for a break but its not Friday so you know you still have another day to go. And today I am super tired!!

The middle of the week is really busy for me. Tuesday I have class and I have to leave work early so I don't take a lunch break. Then I go to class and come home and workout so that I am prepared for the half coming up. Wednesdays I do have a lunch break so at least I can have an hour off. After work I leave straight from there and go to dinner at church then Bible study and then choir which doesn't end until 8:30. When I get home I still have to run and do homework! Thursday is pretty much the same as Tuesday.

So . . . all that to say that I needed my fun Friday a little early! And I thought that some of you might need it too! So here is my early Funny Friday to wake me up a little and get me through the day!



I am sure this guy is happy that its fall and no longer flip flop season!! haha!!

Grad School Woes

I am loving school!!! I honestly think I would love to be a professional student. However, I am finding a few things about school that I am not sure I'm crazy about.

1. Grad students are annoying.

Heres a tip if you are that person in class who is asking questions because you think that makes you look smarter to the professor or the rest of the class . . . you're wrong. We just think it makes you look like you are not paying attention since the professor has gone over it already. And if you just like hearing yourself talk . . . news flash your the only one and p.s. you are dragging out class, so thanks!

2. I feel like I don't have time to run.

*I love this magazine*

I am training for the half in December for St. Jude. With class two nights a week and then church on Wednesdays and homework I feel like I'm having a hard time fitting in a run! But I do love to plan so I am sure I will figure it out.

3. No One Tree Hill

My class on Tuesday nights makes it impossible to watch the new season of One Tree Hill. I love this show and I have been waiting so long for it to return and now I can't even watch it. So to solve this problem I think I will be watching the show from Tuesday night on my lunch breaks on Wednesdays! haha!

All in all though I have a pretty easy semester, at least easier than it could have been. And I am loving it! I am so excited to continue and graduate!!

Top 2 Tuesday . . . Accomplishments

Top 2 things you want to accomplish before the end of the year

1. Run my second Half Marathon

I have registered for the St. Jude Half again this year and will be running it on December 4!! Last year my goal was to just finish and run the whole time. So the goal this year is to shave off some time. My time last year was about 2 hours and 30 mins. so this year I am going for 2 hours and 1o mins. I don't want to kill myself so I think that is a reasonable goal!

2. Be well on my way to graduating with my Masters

I have gone back to school for anyone who doesn't know. After this semester I would like to have a plan. (I love to plan things out!). I would like to know when I will graduate and have a plan of action for the classes I need to take each semester!

What do you plan to accomplish before the year is over? If you want to play along hop over to Taylor's blog.

Happy Tuesday!!

Just Another Monday

I think my weekends trick me!! They just go by too quickly!

Friday after work we had a baby shower for my co-worker, Luz and her sweet baby boy!! We have a large empty space downstairs so we set up the shower down there.



I left there and went to my watch my high school, Bolton, play Central (the school I work with through FCA and my church). It was difficult but I cheered for Central. As I sat there and watched the game and saw several of my old teachers I could not believe that it has been 7 years since I graduated high school!! My time in high school consisted of mostly cheerleading and then more cheerleading. We had tryouts in April and then did not finish the season until February with Nationals. Of course there were the formals and proms. And I did manage to squeeze in some time with my high school sweetheart. He occupied ever free minute I had for two and half years. Wasn't high school the best!!






Saturday a group of friends went out for mine and Bunny's birthday. We ate at the Beauty Shop which was okay it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. The decor was sparse and I thought for a place that use to be a salon it would just have a little more. But it ended wonderfully! We had dessert at the cheesecake corner, which never disappoints!






Hope you all had a great weekend!

Fun Friday!!

Hello Friday I have waited all week for your beautiful arrival!!

Yesterday was not too much fun I ended up leaving work around lunch because I was just not feeling good at all. But today is Friday and I am feeling much much better.

Tonight after work we are having a baby shower for a co worker and her sweet little boy that is on his way. It is a jungle theme so I will have pictures to post on Monday. This is Luz at 22 weeks. It's a little old since she is now 31 weeks.

I am also going to be enjoying a football game tonight after the shower. My high school team is playing Central (which is the team that my church hosts for FCA camp). I am so excited to see the boys again!!

And finally for fun Friday I have a little video that is super sweet.


Have a great weekend everyone!

How Is It Possible . . .

That a short week can feel so long?!?!

It is only a four day work week yet I woke up this morning wishing it was Friday!! Maybe its because my evenings have been so full.

Tuesday night was class, which I have tonight too, and then last night I had my Junior League committee meeting. It was wonderful! I am so excited about my placement this year. I will be working with Girls Inc. here in Memphis. The program we will be helping with the most is a pregnancy preventative program for girls 12-15 called Baby Think It Over. It is Friday night through Saturday afternoon. The girls are give dolls, that are super hi-tech and they have to buy everything for them and take care of them. Our committee chair was kind enough to give us ear plugs for the retreats so we don't have to hear the dolls crying all night! haha! But I am really excited I think it is going to be a lot of fun!

I have also spent a lot of time this week helping to plan my friend Janet's bachelorette party!! I think we have found something different and fun!! Have any of you tried a pole dancing class? I have heard that it is harder than you think. We have a studio here in the Memphis area that offers it as a workout class but they will also host parties, Strip to Fit. We are looking into it but I think we are going to book it this weekend! Let's just hope the Bride doesn't hurt herself before the wedding!! haha!!

Look how strong she is!! No wonder everyone is doing this as a workout!!

Happy Friday Eve!!

Top 2 Tuesday . . . Fall

Top 2 favorite things about fall

1. Football

I love football! It doesn't matter if its High School, College, or NFL. I am just so glad its back!! And nothing has made me more ready for it then the new Kenny Chesney song.

2. Hot Chocolate

I love hot chocolate year round but especially in the fall time when you are sitting outside near a bonfire!

This weekend was amazing!! I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend. I spent Saturday night celebrating with my sorority lil sis who got engaged!!!!!

Then I had a very relaxing labor day on the lake!! I'm completely burned now but it was worth it. Best part is that now I only have a four day work week! Yay!
