timing

I remember that day when our eyes first met.
You ran into the building to get out of the rain cause you were soakin wet.  And as I held the door, you wanted to know my name...

You can call it fate, or destiny...



{timing is everything}

its Friday...

its Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday.


(thanks Rebecca Black .  Your nasal voice and ever-so-clever lyrics are constantly finding their way into my head on a weekly basis...mainly on Friday)


This weekend I will be doing this:


working The Scrapbook Fair for the company I worked for, Crate Paper
This is me, gettin on my way to the show.

I also have a date with this guy tomorrow:  Cybex Arc Trainer

I'm gonna be completely honest.  It's been MONTHS since I've worked out with this machine...but I went last night and I killed about 39 ish minutes on this bad boy.  I am sore from ab to toe.  This is the best workout you can get.  Trust me.  I LOVE this machine.  We are pretty good pals, and it keeps me in shape (besides ROUND that is)

I'm feelin good.  I have started yet ANOTHER strict workout routine.  And trust me, I am going to be keepin ya'll informed.  I need to have some "support" so I figure if I post some before and after photos and chart my progress that it'll help keep me motivated.  (I hope I don't scare anyone)

I also wanted to share a sneak peak of a senior photo shoot from earlier this week.

meet: Kelsey    (homecoming queen + volleyballer + seriously funny lady)  

What are YOUR weekend plans my dears?!

chicken noodle soup for the {cold}

ya know how they say chicken noodle soup is good for sick people?

everyone knows you need 44 oz. of water to do ANYTHING in life

voila!  the final project - chicken noodle soup.

cute Miss Angie got married last weekend.
Brooke and I were able to go to the reception.
The three of us were the best of friends in h.s.


oh how times have changed.

we have all moved on and our lives take their different courses, but somehow when
we go for a long time without seeing each other, it still feels like nothing has changed.


love these girls

congrats Angie & Roland

Meet Me Monday

I am a strong, independent woman.

I once drank gasoline when I was 3 years old (that explains a LOT)

I secretly want to be like Jackie Kennedy (black cocktail dresses, pearls, pill box hats)

I have always wanted to backpack across Europe

I love my white mole on my lip (yes, its a WHITE mole, not a zit!)

There you have it, Meet Me Monday.

Hope you enjoyed :)

thanks are in order...

today was an incredible day.

i layed in bed until, ohhhh about 9:45 this morning (that's sleeping in for me!)

then I woke up and paroozed on over to McDonald's for a lovely

breakfast with my momma (she said it was HER weekend and she wanted to go)

afterwards, I went and ran some errands and I picked up her fabulous cake that I ordered

from THE CHOCOLATE for Mother's Day.

(kitty katrina cake...check it out peeps)

i then went to an old friends reception.

it was so great because another old friend and I went together.

I haven't seen her in a years time.

how can I be so dumb to let the time slip away?

we also hit up Zupas and chowed down some yummy pannini's and salads.

we chatted.

chatted.

chatted.

oh yeah, and laughed. a lot.

you see, it's great friendships like ours that make me so happy.

its been over a year since we've seen each other, but it feels like

we haven't missed a day apart.

love you B!

spa day

i've been under the weather the past few days and i decided that enough was enough today.
i called Primrose Retreat and scheduled myself a little FACIAL.
they got me in pretty quick and I had my first facial ever.

HEAVENLY.
that's the only word I can use to describe my experience.
They had me change into a fabulous robe and gave me some cute slippers.

then i waited in the 'relaxation room' for my facial to begin.
i was taken back and the facial started.

it was amazingggggggg

after the facial i went and sat in the infra-red relaxation room on a hammock (it was fabulous.  there was REAL sand and I felt like I was on the beach)

afterwards, i went straight to the steam room.  it was also AMAZING.

i think i am going to be going back pretty soon.


sometimes a girls gotta just treat herself to a GIRLS DAY at the Spa. 
It was the R&R that I needed.
