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.
