Coast to Coast

So I was playing on blogger this evening and found a great idea through this blog (attempting my first link in a blog) and trying to connect with other people your area that may also blog.  I was checking out the "pin-point" map and realized that five bloggers in state of Georgia that follow that one particular blog and hopefully I will be the sixth on her map. 

After reading so many blogs about all the wonderful people bloggers have met through travels and or just became friends by reading each others life stories, I thought wow I wish I knew more people in my area that blogged.  My friend Bridget was the one that peaked my interest in blogging last summer when she told me about meet-up and swaps she does with some of the girls.  It took me about four more months after her and I talking about the whole blogging process to actually sit down, create one, and post my first "blog".  I am hoping that maybe I will be able to participate in swaps, meet-ups and or anything else a "blogging family" may do. 

Hope my three post today have not bored people to death!!

Widespread Wednesday 6.27.12

Hey Y'all!  Happy Wednesday!  I hope that everyone is having a wonderful day!!  The past week has been a really productive.  I've been thinking and planning a lot this past week and very excited about the outcome of the some of the planning. 

 

This last weekend Jen and I planned our annual Red Neck Raft Club (RNRC) weekend in Pell City Alabama,  It will be the first weekend of August and I'm taking Monday and Tuesday off from work to have a full time weekend with one of my best friend.  I am so excited about finally having some girl time with Jen.  When Jen and I get together it is more then chaos.  We will be soaking up the sun on our floats and drinking beer with the best of them.  I am sure we will go into 'Dega hopefully go to the racetrack and hang out with some of the local's.  I hope that we can make it to Hur-icanns and play some beer pong and hopefully win this summer.  

So last week on my Wednesday post I wrote about more or less all the things I loved about the summertime.  And I forgot about watermelon.  Bryan and I bought a watermelon from one of the local farmers in Eatonton.  I am pretty sure that over the past few days I have eaten my weight in watermelon.  We cut up the whole watermelon and that was an adventure in itself.  I did not want Bryan to even take any home with him.  I still have two more huge Tupperware bowls full of watermelon left  in the fridge and it is still only Wednesday! 

I have also had this dream about going on another Disney Vacation!  I really need a vacation!  Every time I try and plan something, life always seams to get in the way.  And I am sick of it!!  I keep thinking that going out of town would be one of the best ways for me to kind of calm down and pretend to be a kid again.  I have been so much to be stressed out about all the little things I think I just need some time to relax, laugh and be a kid.  When Kelly and I went in May of 08 we had a blast.  I am hoping that Bryan will read this and maybe want to go with me in October for a few days.  But I know with School and Football season it will be the last thing on his priority list, since October is a busy month for us.

The last thing I am wild about this week is the world "LOVE."  After the quite weekend Bryan and I had (our plans did not work our with my girlfriends due to an emergency surgery) I know that he is the one for me.  I think that everything we have right now is perfect.  I absolutely hate being away from him during the week when we can not see each other.  I love every second we are together.  He made me feel so special last week when he had flowers sent to my office and when he came into town even thought I did not feel good!  He is so wonderful to me.  I can not get enough of him!!  I am so glad that we found each other the way we did.  I do not know what I would do with out him.  I am in love wit that man he is my world and I hope I am his!

Retro Week on MTV!?!?

It has come to my attention via facebook that MTV is doing “retro weeks” this summer. This made me feel very old knowing that MTV considers shows like, Daria, Laguna Beach and the Hills as “retro”. I have already informed Kelly about this and we both agree we need to be at home watching all these shows together.  I should of known that this time was going to come seeing that they are playing Friends, Home Improvement and the Nanny all on Nick at Night, which were all classics when I was in elementary school and or middle school. Wow, I feel like I am dating myself in the post.  And for all you young-in's out there, the Jersey Shore will be the next to be "retro" on MTV, just give it a few years!!

I remember being in high school watching Daria with my friends in the basement while we having sleepovers at our parents houses after football game and concerts. It was the show that all 15-21 year old girls were able to agree on. It was about an outcast high girl and her friend Jane, and their days in high school.  She was portrayed as a sarcastic yet funny girl.  She said what she wanted and did not care what or who it might offend.  That is kind of my out-look on life still to this day. 

Then there was Laguna Beach. The first reality show that I can say I honestly got hooked on while I was in college. We use to have viewing parties at my house (remember I lived with 2 guys at the time who gladly gave the main TV over to have a Laguna Night at the house) with some of my girlfriends over to watch and then discus the show. It was like we connected with these teenagers in the "real OC" (which was also another show) and their life stories through out High School and first year or so in college. If there was a class offered in college about Laguna Beach I would have received an “A” in the class. 

 

And my all time favorite was the Hills, which was a spin off of Laguna Beach. I know for a fact that your going to think I am crazy for this. But Kelly and I use to get together every Monday night after we moved back to Atlanta after college to watch the Hills. We ate Mexican, watched Greek and the Hills together and of course had that shock look on our faces when LC left in the Limo from Heidi and Spencer's wedding and we were both very excited when Kristen came back (original cast member of Laguna Beach). Lame I know but it was the memories of being with my friend which made the show that much better!

 

Holy Cow! I am getting old! Happy Tuesday!

Headache Help!?!

Have you ever had one of those days that you just want to be left alone. The work phone/email do not stop. Then once you get home the cell and or house line, texting, and social media will not stop beeping or ringing. Well I have had one of those days today. (Lucky the rumor is that a tower is down with Verizon right now and out going calls are not working).

Bryan can over last night because it was date night and him and I went out to Bone Island Grille in Eatonton and then has fro-yo in Milledgeville. But when we got back to the house I horrible headache. I should of known that when I woke up with a headache the day was going to go downhill. Went to work, made it through most the day, Bryan sent me beautiful flowers because I wasn't feeling good, and then when I got home the cell phone and social media would not stop; which made my head hurt even more.

I really just need some time alone and not being bothered for a few hours. I want to sit in the dark (because that helps my headaches) watch tv and pop some ibuprofen to feel better. I'm sure people do not understand that I do not want to be social after work some days. I can't wait until the weekend to try and de-stress myself. Hopefully Bryan will take me and get a pedicure, let me sleep in and maybe watch movies or go get some sun on the lake.

Anyone have any good times on headache or stress relief? Willing to take any suggestions.

Less then 24 hours until the weekend!

Widespread Wednesday 6.20.12

 

 Today starts my second favorite time of the year... Summer!  Even though we have been popping top, playing in the lake and celebrated Memorial day which is usually the un-official start to summer summer has finally arrived.  No more complaining about 90* plus days, planning beach and lake trips with friends and family, grilling on the BBQ and watching the fire-files in the back yard. As a kid I loved swimming all day at the pool and walking home with the street lights came on around 8:45-9pm and then playing "ghost in the graveyard" until it was pitch black outside.  Then growing-up a little in college sitting on the deck at the bar watching the braves and having a beer.  Summer is just a stree-free time.  I hope that everyone has a wonderful first week of summer!!

My favorite summer holiday is the 4th of July.  I love watching fireworks in the night sky, being with family, watching the bike parade and city parade's drinking cold bud light and eating hot dogs and listening to patriotic music and I guess I just love the good ole RED WHITE AND BLUE and being American.  This 4th of July I kind of luck out. I get to go watch fireworks on the Lake Sinclair Saturday night and then in the park in Athens, Georgia on the actual Wednesday 4th of July and both times with Bryan! 

Since it is the summer and I can not already start talking about football season (75ish more days).  I am very excited that the summer Olympics are coming up in July.  It also gives me something to watch when I get home from work during the day and when the Braves are not on.  I love the Olympics because it gives us as a country something to rally around and talk about with people we may not know.  It also showcases sports that are not as mainstream as they should be.  Its knowing that people around the world all are watching the same race or meet you are.  Most of the stories of the athletics are inspirational on how they got to where they are now.  Its just a great site to see a country rallying for their athletes and friendly . 

What are your favorite things about the summer?? 

I'd love to hear them!

Friendship Attemps

I'm not trying to toot my own horn but I can honestly say that most people like me. I am a pretty amazing friend, a good listener, always there for them and I like to think Id do anything for any one of my best friends! But right now I am having a hard time getting this one person to at lease give me a chance or even a glance into their life.

I've tried talking with her when we are together, be friended her on social media, and have attempted to just straight up get to know her. I've asked questions about every aspect of life. I don't think once she ever asked how I feel about things or hell what my favorite color is!!

I'm not going into detail about anything else but my heart is broken that I cannot get a friendship to bloom. It's not that I need any new or anymore friends but but this one persons friendship kind of means something to me. Unfortunately my gut is telling me to give up on this but my head is telling me not to.

Torn, undecided and looking for answers
