Its Snowing but where is the Snowman?

So we finally got SNOW here in my little part of Tennessee! Very rarely do we see the white stuff but when we do the whole city/county shuts it down. hah! Seriously though...If you are from the north, then Im sure you are getting ready to make fun!!! When we get snow here the bread and milk flies off the shelves and you pretty much should avoid the grocery stores unless you like to be in one for several hours {me? not so much...Im in and out}. Anyways so we go snow but I was a bit disappointed this morning when realized that it was very "fine" snow....almost like dust. Yes, it covered the ground and roof tops but it pretty much melts as soon as you touch it. Most of the schools in our area and surrounding areas are closed today but take note of my drive in to work

Northerners....yall laughing now? Yes schools are closed and roads are clear. :) Thats how we like to do it here in the South!!

On to other news!! I know I mentioned last week that before the New Year I planned on getting organized....starting with my closet. Well I followed through! I spent quite some time organizing my closet and trust me I gave away so much that I felt guilty for having all that I do and I still complain about not having an outfit to wear. Now do not go into cardiac arrest with the pictures Im getting ready to show. I should be embarrassed but hey we are friends right? So Ill share my shame with you!! Now my closet wasnt this messy at first.....BUT I had to dig out everything so the "mad" piles you see are not exactly how I keep my closet but it was me trying to dig out clothes and start piles. Yall ready?!?!?

This picture does not do justice but I actually have a pretty BIG closet too!! So here is side one and below is side two....

I keep ALL my pants in the guest room closet so this is not even all the clothes I own/owned!! After several hours of digging, sorting and organizing I was left with this
3 HUGE bags stuffed completely!! I even had a few helpers on hand........
A lot of HELP huh?!?!!? Yep here are my helpers and this is not even after the work was finished.....this was the entire time. I gave up begging and just did it myself. They are pretty stinkin cute...You too Aaron!!

Happy Thursday and I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed day!!

Wishful Wednesday-- Hair edition

Okay I feel like Im always bending the rules with Wishful Wednesday so here I guess I "kinda" do it again. haha!!

I WISH I HAD ______'S HAIR/HAIRSTYLE!!

I Love the Kardashian girls hair...its so long {which im a fan of long hair} and shiny. It seems like it does almost anything!

Now I have been told that my hairstyle is quite similar to Kim's except blond. Well duh...I love her hair so of course I TRY to wear mine similar! The problem with my hair is it is wavy/curly...so I have to fight to get it to look good. It takes me a good 30 minutes to dry and style my hair. It sure would be nice to wash and go or even wash and dry but nope...I have to apply products, dry, and then style!!

I also love Gretchens hair!! I think she is absolutely beautiful too!

I love Gretchen's hair! I love the color and wish mine could be that blond but Im afraid I would look like a bleached blond. Yes, I have blond hair but I keep low lights in mine as well...plus the underneath part of my hair is darker than the top for some contrast {I have a WONDERFUL hairdresser...my mom!!} Grethen also has wonderful volume in her hair! I love BIG hair....BIG hair that is classy of course...not an overdone rats nest or anything!! hah! Im not gonna rock the "bumpit" but I love my root lifter and a little teasing never hurts!

Yall be sure and head over to Kelsey's blog and play along!!

My Picks are in

Okay so last night was the first episode of the Bachelor with Jake!! Did you watch?!?! I sure did. Aaron watched the first 10 minutes {the introduction of the girls} and then he said he had enough. hahah!!

So, after an hour of watching I would have to say my top picks are

Elizabeth

Tenley

So ladies, there ya have it...these two are my favorites so far!! Of course this could change come next weeks episode or the week after next...Im going strictly off what I saw last night! I was really torn with one of the girls...

Rozlyn is beautiful but.....we all know looks aren't everything or are they?!?! I would say no but others may disagree. I like her but Im afraid she may be getting ready to use her "looks" to further her "game". Im not sure how genuine she is or if she is even really into Jake...they sure would make a cute couple but like I said looks are not everything.

Im usually pretty good at "figuring" people out in the beginning. I dont know how/why but I can generally tell someones character after first meeting them. I have had to learn not to judge people and to give people chances....instead of going off of my intuition but I must say....I very rarely prove myself wrong when going off my instinct...So, Im very excited about trying to figure these ladies out. {Its almost like a game for me} If you have been watching the previews then you are aware that there is a big scandal in the house with one of the ladies!!! Well I have a few girls in mind that I think could be the ONE but I need to watch a few more episodes before revealing who I think this girl could be.

Its that time again

So ladies today started out not so grand here....my brother was in town and laid up all weekend with a virus he got from his girlfriend. Well you know what happens when a virus lays around all weekend--it spreads!!! So yes, I woke up this morning trying so hard to get ready for work but needless to say I never made it! Not exactly how I planned starting my 2010 but hey, after some much needed rest Im feeling better and actually happy to be going to work tomorrow!

On a more positive note....the end of this not so great day is looking up! Tonight.....The Bachelor has returned! I LOVE this show!

Of course Jake is adorable...what do you girl thinks?!?!?! Cute right?!?!

Of course its always interesting to see which girls are crazy...and then I love trying to figure out which girls will be in the final group. After tonight Im sure Ill have a post about the ladies...the crazies and my favs!!

New Year Resolutions

I'm saying this loud & Proud...here are my New Years Resolutions.....that I'm STICKING to!

1. A healthy me!! Im going to work very hard this year at eating well and exercising. Now I have been doing this {even though Ive slacked with the holidays} but 2010 Im going for it....not excuses...no slacking! Cheers to Health!

2. Daily Devotional time! I read my bible often but I can honestly say that I do not ALWAYS take time daily to spend time in his word!! Ill do really good for weeks but then Ill miss a day or a couple and then it turns into night time reading when Im exhausted. So Im going to find a specific time EVERY day to stop & have a devotional time!

3. Quality time with Family! I love my family but I feel as I get older I seem to get busy.....but I should never be too busy for family! I need to take time and visit and call my family more often.

4. Serving!! I plan to serve as much as I can in 2010. My Bible study girls and I try to serve somewhere at least 2 times a month....I plan to continue this but even find opportunities outside of church to serve. I would LOVE to get some of my girlfriends involved and even certain family members. There are plenty of serving opportunities in and around the city!!

5. Become more organized! Its crazy how Im obsessed with my work being organized...my planner being organized....my car to be organized...but my house, not so much! Dont get me wrong...I want it to be organized but at the same time it overwhelms me at times. I like it clean and when I say CLEAN I mean wiped down with bleach, washed sheets, vacuumed floors...etc! The problem I have--I before I clean the tub and toilet, I will shove things in drawers and closets. So it appears organized--until you open the drawer. yikes!!

6. Better at Saving!! This is a must!! I have never been very good at SAVING money! Now, I know where my money goes...I know what bills need to be paid and how much. Im truly blessed to have ZERO debt following me around. I do not own credit cards bc I refuse to let debt get a hold of me! However, I do need to start saving the money I do make and stop spending it like a hole is burning in my pocket.

7. Become a better daughter, friend, girlfriend, sister! Now I know that Im not perfect nor will I ever be. I do believe that I can be even better in areas of my life though! I am going to strive this year to be a better daughter {even though my mom tells me Im the best. :) }, friend, girlfriend and sister! There is ALWAYS room for improvement!!

so Friends...there you have it!

My 2010 Resolutions!

Out with the old....in with the new!

WOW...Can yall believe it is almost 2010!!

This year has flown by here but Im not one bit sad that it is leaving. Not that it was a bad year, its just always exciting to have a new year and a fresh start!! Im so bad at making New Years resolutions. Why??? I'll tell you why!!! They sound good the minute I make them but for some reason I NEVER seem to stick to it or for that matter even remeber which resolutions I made. This year...2010....its gonna be different! Im going to make some resolutions and stick to them this year!! Yes, I said it so let see if I can stick to it! Im not ready to share the resolutions...Im still working on my list but I will share as soon as I am certain on my decisions!

To start off my New Year on the right foot, I will be cleaning my closet out this weekend! Im getting rid of stuff in the closet, drawers, you name it...its going! Now, wait one second...NO Im not getting rid of everything but Im pretty sure I wear about 40% of the items in my closet and use about 15% of things stashed in my drawers!! So this weekend Ill be doing some serious downsizing! Ill be sure and share pics Monday, I may just surprise you with my piles!

Everyone have a safe and happy New Year!! God Bless you all!!
