busy little bee..

soo.. today was not that bad..
OH
other than the fact that I had to visit the doctor today...and not my family doctor..
no worries everyone "everything looks great" lol..awkward.
& my mentoring meeting taking an hour & a half
& the fact that things are changing left & right in my sorority and although I am one for change..it makes my head spin.

In other news I have made plans with my basically life long friend Jessie this Friday. As I like to think nothing like a spa day/ bar night to get me prepared for another visit to see D! Only 15 more days! HOLY HECK!

We also received news that it may SNOW tomorrow! Only down side to that is if classes get cancelled so does our date party (that I'm flying solo to btw).

I did however make it to the gym & felt great until I got home & I was STARVING!
R and I have decided that we are going to seriously reward ourselves if we make it two weeks! (what's one night of splurge?!)

Anyway..here's to me going to read & hoping the roads don't freeze over so I can make it to work Friday!

stay golden!

peace & love

Day 2

soo today was not only freezing & rainy outside but it was also awkward day for A..

let me tell ya.. I was scoring major points on the awkward scale..

1st-my stomach was growling SO LOUD in my second class today & it would not stop (and of course the class was SILENT!)
2nd- my professor asked us to go around the room and say our names..well it got to my row and I thought there were only 2 people in front of me..but there was actually 3 and I COMPLETELY cut off the girl before me by shouting my name...gah...
3rd - I saw a high school friend while walking home and there was a boy in front of him so I waved to my friend but the boy in front of him waved to me too..lol..

so that is my rainy awkward day story for y'all.. just so I have proof the next time someone tries to tell me I'm not awkward.

D had the same problem last week when his "something you're happy about" comment was that he was happy about Alabama winning the National Championship game and his professor is a Notre Dame fan..hahaha..

Not the best way to start the semester but we will get through this together..one awkward moment at a time.

Hope everyone is having a great week..tomorrow I head to the doctor for my check up..WOO!

stay golden!

peace & love

rainy monday...

goodness.. I promise to be a better blogger at some point..but I am trying to finish Season 6 of Gossip Girl..so my time is consumed..but don't you worry none.. I am taking notes :)

lately life's been the same..
my friend Layken  calls her boyfriend "B" because that's the letter his name starts with so I'm thinking I will call Dustin "D" from now on..lol..I think it's cute (and doesn't take as long to type)

so anyway..right now D and I are trying to figure out how this long distance thing is going to work..
seeing each other once a month should be fine..but I'm afraid that is not going to be enough (especially with this cold weather right now! I need to snuggle!) We are hoping we only go 2-3 weeks without seeing each other & I have requested that we talk on the phone AT LEAST once a day.. skype would be ideal but D has yet to download it.. (guess I should bring that up later)!

My roommate & I are on a new health kick.. ("R" is going to be her letter..) We went grocery shopping today for an HOUR...goodness me.. and spent a little less $100 each (why is health food so expensive!?) but I am going to keep y'all updated on that too.. (I get cranky without my chips & chicken fingers!!) I am also hitting the gym again (3 times a week for now)

Why the new health kick? New Years Resolution? No no.. I am headed to see D in TWO VERY LONG WEEKS for his 24th birthday and I want to look fabulous!

So I won't admit it to him..but he is my inspiration to get it together & get in shape.. and now every time I want to go eat a whole bag of bbq chips I am going to blog & distract myself.

Anyway-

stay golden!

peace & love

Go with him..

The Beatles - "Anna (Go With Him)"

For all these years I've wondered why every song with my name in it seems to have something to do with her breaking the boys heart..

but now I think I get it..

Maybe Anna means "indecisive" 

I'm not sure but I am sure that I no longer have a boyfriend..

but I didn't want to waste his time.. let's be honest.. 

I don't think all my wounds have been healed..but he was a great band aid in a time of need.

I just want to take a moment to thank him for everything he did for me.. Lord knows these past four months have been anything but easy..

I also want to wish him the best of luck with all of his dreams

and 

I hope that some cute little girl will come along and teach him to be the best that he can be.. and love him when he is at his worse.

Talk about a roller coaster ride!

It's alright! It's for the best!

I love y'all and I am so thankful for everything that has happened!

peace & love

Update

I happy to report that I am back in my college town..

I am also happy to report that Alabama beat LSU

the cutest thing happened after the game.. my pawpaw called my mom while we were all screaming and celebrating.. so when I answered I was screaming and I realized he was all choked up (emotional)..

he was so cute.. he told me that he was back in my Memaws room 

(who is only with us physically unless she is saying my name to the hospice nurses)  

but he was back there in her room watching the game..holding her hand..telling her we would win it

we would make it..we would beat them..

there were 5 things my Memaw loved more than life itself

1. God 2. Her Family 3. Alabama Football 4. Atlanta Braves 5. Sunflowers

I loved that story..just because of what has happened to my family this past week.

I have been so blessed.

I talked to my Grandma Friday night on the phone.. she sounded a little better..but it made me emotional..it made my dad emotional too..

However, after talking to my dad on the phone tonight while I was on the road back to school.. he called me once again to make sure I made it back safely.. 

Maybe this will bring us all back together..

God knows we need it.

peace & love

I'll be missing you..

I received my first angel today.

My grandpa passed away last night in his sleep.. he was sitting in his chair.. as always.

That little lady in the picture, my Grandma, is the reason why I can't hold it together

everything she did was for him

everything.

what do you do when your everything is gone?

He was her first and only love.

I am happy to say through our ups and downs the last time I saw him was the best time.

He held my hand tightly and told me he was proud of all my accomplishments.

He had never said that to be before that moment.

I guess God knew.

He always does.

This is my first death to deal with so y'all bare with me.

It's not easy

and these emotions come in strong, almost tidal, waves.

As I have said many times before, be thankful.

I never expected to get that phone call this morning.

But I am thankful to be with my family now, and that I can keep a positive memory in my head about him.

And now I know I can talk to my Grandpa whenever.. I just have to ask for the big man upstairs ear and I know my Grandpa will be there standing beside him listening, watching, protecting all of us.

I love you Grandpa, and I am so glad you are finally peacefully resting with God..look out for us up there.. 

big weekend!

well to start...

Today I'm taking Bear to the vet for the first time! I'm nervous for him! 

& 

 Tomorrow I will be attending the wedding for these two..

can't believe that he is getting MARRIED! I remember the day he told me he found the girl that he would be with for the rest of his life.. I thought he was crazy.. but he proved me wrong!

I am so happy for them! They are great together & I know they will live happily ever after! 

anyway.. sorry for not blogging much.. Bear & work have taken over! 

So excited for having Sunday/Monday to myself!

B-I-N-G-O

I know we've come so far, but we've got so far to go..

this week has been interesting to say the least aannnddd it's only Tuesday

History has been putting me in a super bad mood lately and that's not me so.. I need to identify the problem and fix it ASAP.

Anyway.. Hippie date party tomorrow night.. and I'm literally going on a blind date

like I've never seen a picture and the only thing I know about him is he is Shelby's dates friend.

Ahh single life..

also I am a party monitor which means sober sally & staying at a bar till 1:30 a.m.

What's love?

Since I have blessed myself with this time to sit back and think of things that make me happy, I also decided (while not paying attention in my psych class) that I need to figure out what LOVE is. What is love? Why is there such a BIG hype about it..?! Everyone has their own views on love so I need to figure out what love is in my eyes. So far I have come up with that there are different levels or maybe categories of love? Like you love your family differently than your dog, or maybe a significant other, but you also love your friends differently too... Ah! I may be on to something.. (maybe I was really paying attention in psych class and I didn't even know it). Anyway, in all this craziness this week I have decided that when I do day dream I need to think up what it is I want when I hear that word from that special someone.. and maybe who that special someone is supposed to be like? And this time I am not settling for ANYTHING other than the best.. because that is what EVERYONE deserves.. their very own prince charming! (Just gotta kiss a few frogs along the way) So until then! I'll be kissing frogs & making list.

Peace & Love

what to do...

it's like being stuck in between a rock and a hard place..

dinner for two

so proud of myself.. 

(even more than my boyfriend)

we cooked our first homemade meal together

needless to say my homemade (healthy) chicken nuggets were GONE after an hour.. and he still has a whole green bean casserole to eat.. mwaahaha I win!

in other news.. the money I throw away on books KILLS me!! I could be buying cute clothes with that $100 on that one book that I will only use this one semester and only get $25 back for.

meep.

I'm done ranting. Hope everyone sleeps well tonight & has a great, productive Saturday!

lots of peace & love

30 things...

to stop doing to yourself

Sadie Maze

this is my families sweet puppy, Sadie Maze

she helps me blog, stalk people on facebook, and watches all my favorite shows with me and never once has she complained! (now that's what I call a friend!)

in other thoughts

do you ever get in an argument and right after its over you just want to talk to that person and act normal again?

but instead you have to act like you're still mad, be totally stand-offish, and then quietly say your sorry.

blah! why is life so complicated and frustrating?

anyone got the answer?

no?

well I guess Sadie & myself will have to do some intense t.v. watching & internet surfing to try to find out how to solve this impossible riddle.

until then!

-peace & love
