My Obessions of the Week

Taylor Swifts song - Love Story ... I just heart this girl.

and the roomie just introduced me to Beyonce's new song - If I were a Boy ... sing it girl!

The Fair!

The NC State Fair (as stated earlier in one of my posts) is one of my favorite events. I love it! This year the fair was not nearly as crowded as years past - but that was fine by me - I could get to the food stands easier! The roomie and I bundled up and headed out to see what fantastic mullets and redneck individuals we could find.

To begin the evening we visited John the Greek's stand where we split a gyro. Umm - delicious! It was so good...as you can see -

Oh yummy....

However you need to have something sweet to follow that delicious dinner with -

DEEP FRIED PECAN PIE! Let me tell yall this is one of the best things I have ever eaten. Im a big fan of the deep fried snickers but this was the new thing to try at the Fair this year so of course I had to try it. Soooo goood.

After finishing that off we decided to walk around the fair and check out all the animals. Another one of my favorite things to do. We also saw the biggest pumpkin and watermelon and sweet taters. Dragging the roomie around to all the vendors and animals it was time to suck it up and ride some rides. I believe they were fun however the whole time I was praying out loud and/or screaming with my eyes shut.

The view from our cage - or the rides name The Zipper.

The roomie in the cage - she was having a delightful time while I was not.

Once the roomie had her fill of rides we decided to eat some more (of course!) French fries from Al's French Fry Stand and Ham Biscuits from the Church were definitely in order. So yummy. After feeling like complete heifers we called it night but not before we watch the fireworks.

Holiday Travels

I am super excited to announce that C+O will be coming home for Christmas and not only will she be coming home - but M is joining her! I can not tell yall how excited I am about this because not only are they coming home for Christmas but we get to go on a road trip. We are headed to Ocracoke Island but will be making a few pitstops on the way down and back. C hasnt been to the beach in umm something like 6 years at least ..okay maybe not that long - but it is such a sin that she hasnt seen the beautiful Atlantic Ocean in quite awhile. Even if it will be um 60 degrees outside we still get to go and put our feet in the sand and run around in the salt air. Pictured below are my two yoga lovin' gals....

This is the route we will be taking .... Mary Sue the Subaroo is so excited - she loves the ferry.
Anywhos C and I have been friends for umm years - we met in the 6th grade and have just loved one another ever since! Though the distance might be far we have still kept up with one another. When we were in college we drove cross country - I think that was one of the best roadtrips I have ever been on - to Boulder, CO to bring C back to school. It was my first time out west and I have been back every summer. Love Love Love Boulder. Needless to say I am pretty excited that we will be able to do this roadtrip because C does not get home very often and when she is here the family does want to spend time with her. Whatever that is all about. haha. Anywhos M will be coming home with her and I cant wait to hit the road with these two.

St Theresa's Prayer

This was sent to me via email from Allison and I just wanted to pass it along to yall!


St. Theresa's Prayer:
May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.It is there for each and every one of us.

Getting Better

Third game for kickball was last night and are you ready for this ... I ran around all of the bases and scored a run! I also was able to improve my catching skills on 3rd base. I was moved from 2nd to 3rd because I talk to much to the other girls - now I have to be separated by the guys.


The roomie and I joined some of our fellow team members after the game for a couple of drinks at PR. We had a great time with the guys.

On another note ...it is that time of year again - my favorite:

THE STATE FAIR!

The fair is hands down one of my favorite things about fall. When I was younger I used to compete in the horse show part of the state fair and loved it! Now I enjoy going to the Village of Yesteryear, milking the cows, checking out the GIANT produce, seeing all the farm animals and of course EATING! What is your favorite thing to eat at the fair?

Mine?

Ham Biscuit, Corn, deep fried candy bar (do not judge), giant turkey leg, sausage and peppers, french fries.... yup Im a fatty.

Lake Gaston

This past weekend we stayed at Alan Jackson's house .... j/k! However the house we stayed in was BEAUTIFUL. The eight/at one point nine of us all bunked up and had a fabulous weekend. The weekend was filled with many laughs, sweatpants, cold swims, delicious food, card games, football, fishing and of course some firefly. We all had a blast - so much we didnt get back home till 8:00pm on Sunday night. It was an amazing fall weekend, could not have asked for better weather. Honestly, it was just what I needed to recharge my batteries and my emotions. Sometimes you need a little r&r...

**************

Tonight was our second kickball game and we .......lost! Again! Oh well - that is quite alright because once again all we did was laugh and have a blast. Our little group is just a bunch of hooligans running around trying to catch a flying red ball. This week I made it to 2nd base and I caught a ball. Whoot whoot!

Its 5:00 Somewhere

and that somewhere is Lake Gaston!

Off to find some peace of mind and a drink or two on the lake....


see yall on Sunday and have a great weekend



PS - I promise to have some fantastic photos of kickball and the lake for you guys.

A Success!

Kickball game last night was a success indeed! Though we lost : 1-5 ..we all had a blast. The whole group of us could not stop laughing. I played 2nd base - which apparently gets some action because balls were flying all around me. One of the other team members slid - head first! - into 2nd. I just turned to her ball in hand and said "Sweetie - this is kickball however very impressed by your dedication." In the 3,4, or maybe 5th inning? I have no idea ... anyways the ball came flying in air towards me and I caught it! AND I got one of the other players out! Oh thats right - double play. It was the highlight of my life.
When I returned to the dugout one of my fellow team members (who is smokin' hot) gave me high while I was saying "Kickball is my calling! I am amazing!" He replied "Umm..I wouldn't quit your day job yet - all the other balls have been flying past you all night! However that last play was definitely really good" haha - okay well I mean I think my career just hit its turning point (duh) - you know?! haha. Ahh good times!

This afternoon I had to take Ms Goose to the Vet for her yearly. Apparently having things anywhere near her rear is out of the question because home dog was hollering like none other. I have never heard yelp before and I felt so bad! They even had to take her out of the exam room to see if they could take her temp and do the fecal exam. No such luck - she wasn't having any of it. That's okay - because now Mommy gets to pick up her poop tomorrow morning and bring it to the vet! Thanks Goose! :) After being traumatized by that ordeal, Lucy received her yearly vaccines and received an A+ check up. Looking good Ms Goose.

Okay must go - off to the personal trainer.

This weekend: Lake Gaston!

Breathing

Breathing...

Some days I have to remind myself the Lord never gives us more then we can handle. So when I feel overwhelmed with emotion - anger, grief, the why would they hurt me? etc. - I take a couple of deep breathes and I start to pray.


Some days I do a lot of praying.




Today is one of those days.

ITS:

KICKBALL WEDNESDAY!

FIRST GAME TONIGHT @ 8:00PM !

oh lalala - I got the job! wahoo!

JOB INTERVIEW

Going for a job interview this afternoon. I needed to get a part time job because coming up in January I will be in school full time. ANYWAYS - wish me luck!

Inspiration

Do you ever feel like you can do anything? Today I was hit again with the notion / inspiration of wanting to write a book. I know - I can barely spell let alone I have the worse grammar of an native English speaking child. However, for some reason I want to write a book. Perhaps something loosely based on my life with the twist of something much more fantastic.

That's all. Thanks for stopping by...

Life is Like a Tub of Peanut Butter ...

...sometimes is smooth running and other times it can be a bit sticky.

This weekend was a whirlwind of events. Friday night I babysat for one of my coworkers. She has an adorable 6 year old who is just full of himself. So cute - it almost made me want one - almost. Then I met up the roomies to grab a drink and do some dancing at Felsons. My thighs were a bit ouchy the next morning. However I still went and worked out with the personal trainer where I had my behind handed to me. I love it - but at the same time I am just praying for the torture to end.
I decided to skip out on the State game and took my little brother shopping for homecoming. He is such a boy. I asked him if he was planning on asking the girl he is taking to be his girlfriend - since he is either texting or talking to her 24/7. He told me he was going to wait and see how the dance goes before he does anything. Okay right...
Saturday I had a lovely dinner at The Point. Um yummy yummy yummy - love going there. The waiter was hot hot hot and by the end of dinner he ended up giving us free shots. What a great way to end one's meal. From there the night gets a bit hazy and by hazy ... I didnt end up in bed till 4:00 am.
Sunday I was up and getting ready for a 5k. It was to support Students Against Drinking and Driving and was put on by my highschool. Lets just say I did not exactly run the best that I could have. I had a terrible headache and felt awful ... what a great example I am. Anyways I spent the rest of the day in bed. And that my dear blog friends sums up my life for the past 48 hrs.

She did it again - rainbows done.

Okay - really Lucy? really? I even took you on a run this morning! Open the blinds so you can watch the animals outside and left the news on for you so you can see the recap of the debates! What more do you want?! GRRRR! Ah I so PO'd right now.
