Slacking

Hey everyone! Sorry I have been MIA for a few days....I'm slacking for sure...not only on my blog but reading every one's. This past weekend was a busy one. Hopefully Ill sit down and upload some pics this week!

I finally watched the Ugly Truth last night. Great movie. We laughed so hard...I'm not sure what I was expecting but it took me by surprise. I love Katherine Heigl. If you have not seen this movie its worth watching.

Im a bit bummed because tonight on the Biggest Loser we will be seeing every ones makeovers. Why am I bummed???? I have to record it!!! That's okay...at least I still get to see it. We had to switch our bible study to tonight instead of tomorrow for this week only. Ill survive because I LOVE my group so spending time with them is always nice. Im really excited bc we are starting a new book by Francine Rivers. I have read several of her books and Loved them all. We are reading A VOICE IN THE WIND. Ill let yall know how it is......but if you are looking for a new book I totally recommend REDEEMING LOVE. {amazing}

I hope to catch up on every one's blogs here in the next few days....Ill be busy with wedding festivities this coming weekend so please don't think I forgot about yall!!

Friday!!

I don't know about y'all but Im super pumped that today is F-r-i-d-a-y. Makes for a good day! I went to spin last night and OUCH is all I have to say. This was my first time to spin in about 2 months....I have been to the gym but not to spin. Yikes! This class usually is an hour {which seems long enough} but last night they added 15 more mins to it. I survived and pushed through. Needless to say Im more than a bit sore today.

I get my hair did in the a.m. Yay! Its always WONDERFUL when you get fresh highlights. My mom does hair and its so hard finding time to do my own. It takes weeks to get into her when you make an appointment so I usually get put on the back burner. Most girls love to get their hair done....me on the other hand....not so much. I don't know why its not relaxing to me but its not. I'm impatient, so its no fun sitting as she weaves little pieces of my hair...then I get so hot under the dryer....and the bowl they wash your hair in hurts my neck plain and simple. BUT....all the pain is worth the beauty! haha!

I hope everyone has a fun weekend planned....if nothing more just sit back and enjoy it! Happy Friday!!

CMA's

So who watched the CMA's last night? Me!! Once I got home from work I threw on some jammies and plopped down in front of the tv! Seriously...Country Music awards are my favorite. Could it be my love for country music or just the fact that I pretty much love all the country artists out there!! My lovely friend Catherine was able to attend the show last night with her hubby David so of course I was stalking the crowd for them. Cat, you looked BEAUTIFUL...I saw ya girl! ;)

The show started of with a bang! Carrie and Brad are the perfect Hosts'

{"Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be Kanye/Let 'em pick guitars and drive 'em ol' trucks/Cowboys have manners, they don't interrupt." }

I laughed so hard at all the fun they had with Kanye and Taylor. Lets see then Little Jimmie jumps on stage and pulls a Kanye

{"Excuse me, excuse me, sir. I'll let you finish later. Now Brad Paisley, I know you had a nice video and all that, but Taylor Swift made the best video of all time! Of all time! You go, girl!"}

Taylor Swift had a night to remember. I think the girl took home every award possible. haha!
I thought everyone looked great and the performances were too!

Compassion

I want to share and give yall an opportunity to learn a bit about Compassion if you have never heard of this ministry!! Kelly from Kellys Korner & her husband Scott are in El Salvador right now....Kelly has been sharing her experience in her blog. Please head over and read about her trip!! Compassion is a WONDERFUL ministry and I cant say enough about it. I know I have blogged before talking about it and the little boy I sponsor--Chumandev! I have tons of people ask me "How do you know your money goes to the children"? Well, I have FAITH and I also know that It is part of my job here on earth to take care of Gods children and share his word. I get tons of other questions as...some I can answer some I cannot but I promise if you read what Kelly is experiencing during her visit you will be able to see and understand how and why Compassion is so amazing. Not everyone can sponsor a child but everyone can pray for these children and families! God Bless them!!

I pray that I too will be able to go visit my sponsor child- Chumandev- someday in India!

Sugar Doll

I feel so special....haha....I have been awarded the Sugar Doll blogger award thanks to Leslie @ Blonde Ambition. Some of you may be followers of her blog but for you newbies head on over and check it out. You wont be disappointed! Thanks Leslie for my award!!!

Okay, the rules are quite easy. I have to list 10 interesting facts about myself {like Leslie...these im sure wont be as interesting as they are RANDOM}. Then Ill pass this award on to the 10 wonderful bloggers. So enjoy.....

1.) I cannot stand coffee....yuck! Im not sure why but I cant drink anything from Starbucks bc it all tastes like coffee to me. haha. However, I LOVE tea! Tea is my caffeine drink of choice.

2) I cannot do a PUSH-UP for the life of me. It does not matter how strong my arms are....how heavy a dumbbell I can pick up....I CANNOT DO PUSH UPS!!!

3) Laundry is my least favorite chore...I can put it all in the wash but struggle getting it out of the dryer & if it comes out of the dryer its even harder to fold & put up!

4) I burn candles 24/7....well I blow them out when I leave the house but I love candles!

5) My birthday is 5 days before Christmas. So I pretty much get a Christmas/birthday gift in ONE from everyone...haha...this bothered me as a child but I'm over it now. ;)

6) I get pedicures every other week for the pure relaxation...not bc my toe nails need painting.

7) Every car I have ever owned {3 to be exact} have all been black! Think I like black cars?!?!? hahah...I think its a classy color.

10) Lastly, I never meet a stranger!! I have been known to randomly start a convo with a stranger and when we part I think I could tell you their entire life story. haha. I could talk their ear of as well.

Monday blues

Happy Monday! Hope every ones Monday has been a good one....mine...well it could have been better but it could of been worse. I tend to have acid reflux "attacks" often and last night I had none other than an attack. YUCK! I literally have it so bad that I feel as if I have a stomach virus--minus the fever and aches. {you get the point} so last night I literally slept sitting straight up....I have to prop my pillows up so that I can lay in my bed with my back in "sitting" position. Today I went to my doctor and she put me on a prescribed antacid medicine...Prilosec isn't cutting it anymore. So hopefully this will work. Today I have had plenty of

I'm not a soda drinker but when I have acid reflux, its the one drink that helps. Thank goodness for Sprite!!

So, after getting plenty of rest today I am laying here watching Gossip Girl and catching up on every ones blogs. I was out of town part of this weekend so I have a ton of reading to do.

Oh I do have a bit of exciting news...well it may not excite you but it did me. hah! So Saturday I headed to Jackson Ms with some friends to do some shopping. We went to Mistletoe Marketplace at the fairgrounds. I purchased quite a few goodies but I was so excited about one of my purchases. My girlfriends thought I had lost it but....I grew up watching Days of our Lives....this was the only soap opera I watched but I LOVED it! Bo and Hope were my favorite couples and guess what....Hope...better known as Kristian Alfonso was in Jackson with her jewelry line Faith Hope Miracles.

I purchased 2 wooden bracelets like the ones on Kristian's wrist below. I got one brown and one black.

She was just as beautiful in person and SWEETER than I could have ever imagined. She was so personable and was talking with everyone. Great Salesperson for sure! Anyways...I was so excited to be able and meet Kristian...aka Hope Brady. haha!

Have a great evening!!
