85 days

til im cruisin' the open seas with 11 of my closest friends. do you even know the fun that will ensue from these 5 days??!!

just me and parker

several weeks ago, mallory and i went to an auburn game and had a blast. saturday night was parker's turn to go "all by himself" and he wanted to make sure we had just as much fun as mal did. it turned out to be a cold day (and it even rained a little) but nothing could put a damper on our fun. we got to go to a few bookstores. parker got a new shirt. and i got him a new camo hat. i tried to talk him into getting just a regular hat, but he really wanted the camo! we threw the football around some and then played real football......and of course he beat me! we watched the band, sang the fight song, and ate popcorn and hot dogs and ice cream. we talked about how much we love auburn and who loves auburn more. then parker looked at me and said "well, i love you more than i love auburn" which is a whole whole lot!

an open letter to cancer

my one true love

i've mentioned my love for 90210 several times. now, i'm admitting i have a bit of a problem. i guess i realized it was a problem when i found myself telling dylan not to worry - that his dad really ISN'T dead. or telling donna that gina's not really her COUSIN, she's her SISTER. or advising janet NOT to take the job at nouveaux because she won't be happy and she'll really miss maddie. or screaming at matt not to represent that dude (surprisingly enough, i can't remember his name, but he wasn't really THAT important) because he's the one that raped kelly. (don't worry about that either, though, because kelly pops a cap in his you know what!)

i. can't. quit. they just showed the final episode of the series. you know, donna and david's wedding. the one that valerie showed up to and they acted like they were all best friends. really, what's up with that? everyone hated her! sorry. back on subject. so now, they've started back from the very beginning. the pilot episode. how many times i've seen it is completely irrelevant. i. still. can't. quit. steve's license plate on the front of his corvette I8A 4RE (i ate a ferrari). kelly's stonewashed denim shorts with neon green biker shorts underneath paired with hot pink socks, black patten shoes, AND a hot pink bodysuit. seriously? we wanted to look/dress/act like these people?! hilarious.

so 90210, i will continue to love you. support you. and cherish you all the days of my life. thank you for always being there for me and for being so awesome!

random thoughts

*miley cyrus's party in the USA is a happy song! i can't get enough of it.

*beverly hills, 90210 never gets old. ever. no matter how many times i've seen the episodes.

*being on tv is not as much fun as i thought it was gonna be. i'm extremely critical of myself.

*race for the cure is an awesome cause. i love love love participating and raising money.

*bad things really do happen in 3s.

*my new position at work is going to be a whole lot better than i thought it was going to be.

*seriously. miley cyrus. and a britney song was onnnnnnn. and a britney song was onnnnnnnnn!!!

oh the things we do

as i've mentioned before, i'm pretty crazy....ummmm.....passionate when it comes to auburn football. i'm still only taking 1 shower before gametime. i won't wear a new gameday shirt the day of the game. and now, i won't be able to paint my toenails. (good thing it's time for close-toed shoes!) you see, before the first game, i thought it would be a good idea to paint my toenails. luckily for me, i also thought it would be a good idea to remove this polish from my toes before the game actually started!! because if i hadn't, my toes would've had to look like this:

until.....well.... you know.

my flags must be up on my car from friday morning til monday morning. i've found the perfect position to sit in at my house during the game. i can't get up to go to the fridge at any point in time. and if i take my ring off, shake it around a little bit, and then put it back on - good things will happen! may sound crazy, but i'll keep doing it regardless of the stress is causes me.

crazy turn of events

remember my power of positive thinking?? well, forget it. for right now at least. because sometimes life just sucks. and a lot of times it’s not fair. we are forced to deal with things that hurt. and things that are definitely not easy. and sometimes there just isn’t a positive side no matter which way you look at it. and that sucks. sure there is faith to cling to. that’s sometimes the only option. sounds bad, right? that it’s "sometimes" the only option. should be the first option, at all times, no matter what. but here’s the way i work. when things get bad is when my faith is the strongest. i could be wrong, but i think that’s a pretty fair statement for most people. so. right now, i’m just waiting for my faith to get strong again. because i know i need it.
