I have NOTHING for X.

So i'm just going to write about what's been goin on with me since i last blogged! Well, this week is my BIRTHWEEK, official birthday is Sunday, 9.28. This past weekend was a pretty good one...Went to dinner & a movie with Wick on Friday...we saw Burn After Reading...i was totally expecting a thriller...IT WAS HILARIOUS. i really enjoyed it. Saturday, after some shopping with Holley, I loaded up FJ and we headed out to her farm in Sturgis for some drinking and playing with her dogs, and, OF COURSE, wilson grilled some FABULOUS ribs. FJ and i crashed on their couch saturday night, and went home and I cleaned my ENTIRE apartment on Sunday. FJ slept all day, as she was exhausted from her playdate with Buddha & Samson :) This week is going by pretty quickly. Today i have a lunch date with my sister...and OF COURSE that means we will go to the Mi Ha and split combo fajitas :) we haven't done that in a while, so i'm pretty excited about that. I got some new pieces to add to my wardrobe this weekend, so i've looked super cute BOTH days this week, so that's a plus. I have no plans for this evening...probably finishing my fabulous book i'm reading. Tomorrow night i hope to see the Wick..and Thursday i have a dinner/Grey's Anatomy premiere date with my Mama!! I can't wait for the new season! Friday night I'll be baking a cake with Holley for our partay on saturday...and then celebrating my birthday with my most special peeps for the rest of the weekend!

WHERE does the time go?

WOW! So it's been a week since I've blogged! I decided I'd change things up a bit...I'm still learning about all this blogger stuff...so needless to say, it took me a while to change my layout...and I'm still waiting on a cute boy to show me how to put a picture on my header. When it comes to all this technological stuff, I'm not very saavy. 
Lots has been going on in my little world, most of which I am not really in the mood to blog about right now. Those of you who know me best know what's up, and when things settle down a bit, I'll share with my fellow bloggers. This past weekend was Bulldog Bash (which I opted NOT to attend) and we played Auburn at home. We lost by 1 single point...3-2, weird football score, I know. I tailgated with Cindy, Lesli & their crew.  I had a fabulous time, pictures to come as soon as I receive them. I know I say that about every event that I blog about..."Pictures to come soon". But it's true! At this moment, I depend on others for picture posting capabilities...perhaps I should ask for a camera for Christmas. That sounds like a good idea..although, I would really like a home computer as well. Not a laptop, an old fashioned (but new speedy) desktop computer. 

Speaking of gifts, I'll be 27 in a little over a week. The past month, i have had ZERO amount of excitement for my birthday. As the day approaches, I'm getting a little more excited. I've decided that my celebration with friends will be somewhere, sometime on Saturday. Sunday, the actual birthday, I'll be grilling pizzas with my parents and Wick and having yummy birthday cake :). I'm glad Wick isn't going to LSU...although I know he wanted to go. I'm glad he'll be here to celebrate my birthday with me again this year. 

I only have 3 more letters in the ABC game! WoW. i must say..it's taken me a lot longer than i expected it to. Anyways...Let me know what you think of my new ("girly") layout...i think i'll keep it around for a while :)

V

"V" is for VULNERABLE. This is my current mood of the day. I feel that everything in my life is in a vulnerable state right now. Perhaps i'm not using the right word..but just bear with me. I have an unsettled feeling in my gut...and i feel there are so many things left unsaid in so many situations in my life at this point. I have so many questions...many that I'm afraid to ask. But the feeling of having so much left unanswered is not fun. I have so many conflicting feelings in my heart at this very moment. I feel a lot of love. I feel a lot of anger. And, I feel a lot of hurt. I want to just make everything right...but it's not my job. I can't fix everything. And it's hard for me to realize that. I like fixing things. I like it when everyone's happy and no one is hurting. But I guess this is how we grow, eh? Even if it's me who's doing the hurting. 

Anyways...that's my thought for the day. No worries, I'm not depressed or anything like that. I just have a lot going on in my lil head. It's all good.  :) thanks for listening.

U

U is for unsure. I am unsure today about a lot of things. Therefore, I have not much to write. Hope ya'll had a good weekend!

T

TGIF! I was a big ole slacker yesterday and didn't blog, and sweet Melly brought that to my attention :). So, today..for the letter "T", i am going to talk about what i'm THANKFUL for. With everything going on right now, hurricanes, elections, and all else in the news...i thought i should really sit back and think about what I'm thankful for in my life, and, fyi, this list EXCLUDES all the people that i love..because that would just take up too much time. You know who you are, and you know I love you! :) Here goes:

My Health. Knock on wood, i have never had a severe health problem...

My Job. I'm not rolling in the money, but I'm surviving, which is enough for me.

Transportation. While my car doesn't like me somedays...she gets me from A to B.

Not living on the coast. While i love the beach, I also love my home and would like for it to stay in 1 piece!

My sweet little apartment. Props to my mom for finding it for me :) I love my lil house.

Love. I feel love every day and it's a wonderful feeling. It makes me sad to think that some people never know that feeling.

Children. OK you know i really mean Taylee and Braylon. They truly light up my life and I just love them to pieces.

Coffee. Jump starts my day, and i'm sure my coworkers are thankful for it as well. I wouldn't be NEAR as nice as I am without the java.

Pets. I never knew the joy of having a pet until i got my VERY OWN pet. I dont think i could ever live by myself without her. She is amazing, and it's amazing how tuned in our pets are to our feelings. She's the best nurse when i'm sick, hands down! Also, a news update: A kind, kind woman in the Maben/Mathiston area has rescued two DORKIES (dachsund & yorkie mix) from Hurricane Gustav..and is GIVING them away to good homes. She has 2 males, and I'll be making the trek to Webster County to check them out on Sunday. Those of you who know me, know i've wanted to rescue a yorkie for some time...and a free one is just up my alley! So, i've already "tentatively" named him Gus. Stay tuned on Monday to find out the continuing saga of the puppies! This leads me to my next item...

Kind people. This woman who took in the dogs was so kind to do so. We dont always think about what people lost in Hurricanes such as Gustav and Katrina. I know when Katrina hit 3 years ago, I donated almost half my closet, including shoes!...i know a lot of people lost everything....and I felt good that I did something. But there are people out there who go above and beyond! Such as this woman who took in the puppies..and is doing her part to find them a suitable home. My sister also has a friend that has temporarily MOVED to the coast to help get power back to all who have lost. my point is....these people do this because they are KIND, good-hearted people. and I am Thankful for them.

Anyways..i've rambled for quite some time..but i feel better now that i've said a few things. OH i forgot one thing i'm THANKFUL for:

MSU FOOTBALL! MSU plays their first home game of the 2008 season tomorrow night, and i know i'm not the only one who's excited! I'll be going to the game with a very cute boy, if i'm nice, i'm told. :) GOOD LUCK, DAWGS!

S is for...

• Still raining.
• Still Super confused.
• Also, a little Sad.
• Shoe Shopping with Wick after work this evening.
• Speaking of Shoes, mine are hurting my feet.
• Still..nothing really SUPER noteworthy to blog about.

R

Happy Tuesday...even though it feels like Monday. I love long weekends, but sometimes, it feels like more work having a day to make up for when you come back to work! Anyways...today is R day...and it's going to stand for i REALLY don't have anything REMARKABLE to blog about. Sorry...nothing really noteworthy going on here. Maybe something magnificent will happen between now and tomorrow and i can share it with my two readers :)
