Does Anyone else despise the Subway Commercials Like I Do?

Seriously? Who came up with this STUPID jingle? It's not catchy. No one goes around singing it. Get over yourself Subway. You suck.

Fashionable Friday sadly sans Kiki...

Ok So our fav store (GAP) was having an AWESOME sale this weekend and Friday turned out to be the only day I could make it up there... our favorite Kiki wasn't there to join in on the fun, so we decided to have a Fashionable Friday! I love when the seasons change and all the cute stuff I want goes on sale!

(I'd like to take a moment to apologize for the frizzy hair. That's me being lazy & not fixing it.)

So I love this shirt, and I know it's gonna look super awesome when I get a tan on my pasty self. And how cute are those bermuda shorts? Only $25! And a size smaller than what I usually wear! You know that means I had to buy them.

I was channeling my inner Angel in this pic... I miss her. PS- Check out the almost nekkid chick in the poster. Didn't really notice that before... Oh and I got the shirt I'm wearing here... it has a super cute rose on the front.

So here is super cute Jenna. We've decided that peach is a great neutral. How snazzy is she in this outfit? PS- that bag was on sale from Target a few days earlier!

Ok So here is the dress I posted a few blogs back... but it was a grey & yellow pattern. Unfortunately, they didn't have that color, but they did have these- both under $20. You know I had to get it... I decided on the coral- I know I have a lot in that color, but ya know what- it's one of my favorites, and I think I look pretty good in it, so - why not get more of it? The blue was really pretty, but the coral has a really pretty sheen to it. I'm super happy that I got it ON SALE and then an additional 25% off.

So that's the fun weekend I had. Saturday, I had a Harry Potter Movie Marathon and caught a stomach flu and have been out of commission ever since. I am feeling better and I went back to work today. Yay for a four day work week! Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Too funny...

Ok I saw this on tmz.com & had to share it with everyone...

No, this isn't California...

So as many of you know, the northern part of Horry County has been dealing with a wild fire since yesterday... and let me say- holy crap. I've never seen anything like it before in my life. Thankfully, I live about 20-30 miles south of the blaze so personally, I am not being affected.

The fire has destroyed more than 15,000 (THOUSAND) acres, 2500 people have been evacuated, 40 homes have been destroyed, over 100 homes have been damaged... the numbers will probably go up by this time tomorrow I'm sure. Today I saw helicopters flying in & dropping water on the blaze. It's so crazy. Here are some pictures I've found from some news sites so you can get an idea of how huge this fire is...

I did not take these pictures, I took them from www.wmbfnews.com. Hopefully this fire will be put out soon! My prayers are going out to the communities and families who are being affected!

How cute are these?

it's me & bailey

it's me & gus (& my diet coke)

Random Thoughts Along the Day...

Seriously? Craigslist Killer... How sick is that...

Secondly... I'd like to share this wonderful picture that stares at me all day in the office.

Enjoy fellow bloggers!

Yay!

So I'm back from my super busy weekend! It was so much fun ya'll- I really miss my college girls. Sometimes, I feel like a different person around them- is that weird? Oh well.

Shower on Friday went great- there were probably around 30ish people that came. We had a barbeque, played a game, and then opened presents! Suzanne & Charlie got some really nice stuff! It was really great seeing all my Shandon peeps :o)

The Bridesmaids that came to the shower.

Me, Megan & Renae- My small group leaders sophomore year.

Tricia, Me, Suzanne (the Bride!), Kristin & Kaci- my bible study girls from last semester!

I left on Saturday morning to head up to Greenville with Natasha, got there around 1, changed, got ready for Shannon's shower. It ended up going really well- I was technically a hostess for that one. (I did the invitations, duh.) Natasha had a really fun game- all questions about how well we all knew Shannon... I did okay- I only missed 5 out of 16. Some of them were pretty specific! We stayed the night there, and Shannon showed us where the wedding & reception is going to be. Greenville is such a fun place, even though I only saw a little bit, I can't wait for her wedding weekend!

Shannon opening all her presents!

All the ladies at the end of the shower!

After all that, we drove home Sunday. What a long day. I will have to say- I took the best nap EVER when I got home. There's nothing like coming home to your own bed!

And let me say I am SO EXCITED to have gotten my first blogger award! Emily on From the Land of Cotton (Fellow Gamecock Gal) gave it to me!!! I am super jazzed!


Okay, so the goals of this award are:

1. As a dedication for those who love blogging and love to encourage friendships through blogging.
2. To seek the reasons why we all love blogging.
3. Put the award in one post as soon as you receive it.
4. Don't forget to mention the person who gives you the award.
5. Answer the award's question by writing the reason why you love blogging.
6. Tag and distribute the award to as many people as you like.
7. Don't forget to notify the award receivers and put their links in your post

So why do I love blogging? I'm going to have to credit my friend Jenna for that- it started innocently enough- who could find the cutest backgrounds! ha, but seriously... I love reading about everyone's life- it makes me feel a little more normal. I love sharing my thoughts and feelings with any & everyone who feels like reading about me! I also love checking out all the cute pretty stuff on everyone's blogs! I've encouraged some of my Cola people to start them so I can keep up with their lives on a more daily basis!

I'm going to give this award to Jenna at The Chic & Sassy Southern Newlywed, My favorite Gap Gal at KikiBee & Angela at The Preppy Polka Dot. I love reading these ladies' thoughts!

Don't forget to tell us why you love blogging, girls, and tag some others to join in on the fun! Thanks again Emily!!!!!!!!

im leaving work a bit early for suzanne's shower/bbq tonight in columbia, then tomorrow morning, i'm headed to greenville for shannon's kitchen shower! it's going to be a lot of driving, but it's totally worth spending a weekend with my college girls who i miss SO much! i have been SO blessed to have met some of the most amazing friends in college. even though i've only known them for 2, 3, or 4 years- i know they will be life-long friends. it's going to be too much fun :o)

i hope everyone else has a fantastic weekend, i'll be sure to post some pics from the showers when i return sunday!
