United States of pop

Ok so I saw this on Sweet, Sassy, Southern & Classy's blog and I HAD to share it on here!

This is the coolest remix of the 2009's top songs. Ah-mazing. I can't wait to see what 2010 has in store musically for all of us!

Hump Day Post

Good Wednesday afternoon ladies!

I hope you all are having a good week so far, mine's going alright... Monday I had a terrible upset stomach and laid in the bed all day... that part was great, but the sour tummy- not so much!

Yesterday & today have been pretty good, had dinner with mom last night and after work today I plan on going up to the mall to check out a wedding present for this weekend.

Speaking of wedding- does anyone have any hair suggestions? We are doing our own hair this weekend and I am not so great at doing fancy things... I'm thinking about investing in hot rollers... anyone have any they can suggest? Hopefully the weather will hold up for this one like last weekend!

Mom is having shoulder surgery tomorrow- she has a bone spur they are removing. If you guys could keep her in your prayers that'd be greatly appreciated!

Last little thing... has anyone else fallen in love with the new Rob Thomas CD? Cradlesong? I downloaded it last night and can't stop listening to it!

Happy hump day ladies- two more days till Friday!

Hump Day!

I'm going to apologize in advance... I don't have anything amazing to blog about today.

I just got back to the office from having a late breakfast/early lunch with my mom @ Cracker Barrel. I love that place- I got french toast w/ peaches & hash brown casserole. So good!

I am getting a massage tonight- SO excited about that!


::side note:: no one looks like that while getting a massage. actually, i'm pretty sure my make up would never look that good.

I do have a music suggestion for everyone- Eric Hutchinson. ABC's & Polka dots turned me on to him earlier this week and I just downloaded his album on iTunes last night. It's only $7.99 and it's such a great cd to listen to! I was jammin' out on my way to work! And I think I might download the new Dave CD so I can have totally new tunes to listen to on my way to Cola this weekend!

Best Week EVER

Ok so last week was pretty amazing.

I made a promise to myself in march saying "April was going to be MY month!"

I need to be proactive about the positive changes I want to see in my life...

Anyway, so I got a job on Tuesday. A job in graphic design. A job doing what I went to school for. A job doing, what I think, I'm good at. Hallelujah!

It's with a new marketing group called "Riceldon Marketing Group". They are owned by a guy who owns a lot of other random things- a swimming pool company, a marine construction company, a biker bar, and a general contractor company. I feel like I've been exposed to a lot of entrepreneurship type people lately... It's inspiring. Anyway, so I am the in-house graphic artist! Woo! It's not AMAZING pay or anything, but hey- it's a job, it's a job doing something that I like, and it's enough to help me start moving out! PRAISE JESUS. Something else that will hopefully happen in April :o)

Also, I had a date on Friday night.

I know, everyone catch their gasps.

It was with a friend of mine's husband's brother. If you can follow that. I met him at their wedding in July of 2007, and at the time, he had a girlfriend. He was my person to walk down the aisle with- foreshadowing? We shall see! haha...

He was very sweet, we went to dinner & then down to the Marsh Walk and listened to some music. It was nice to be out of the house, with a boy.

We went to the beach to sit on Saturday & out to lunch before he had to go back to VA. He's in the Navy, stationed in Norfolk. So that's kind of a bummer... We'll see what happens though- I'm just excited about the prospects. This coming from a girl who hasn't gone in a date in seriously about 3 years... It's crazy how much one person can hurt you and make you think ill of all people with X & Y Chromosomes.

More good news? You know it!

Gap was having an AMAZING sale this weekend and I was able to purchase a sweater/jacket I've been wanting FOREVER. For real, every time I went in there I'd just feel it. Well, it was on sale, along with some other really cute stuff- AND they were having a buy 4 things on sale and get an extra 30% off! Oh yea, I scored.

I got some other stuff, but nothing as amazing as the waffle sweater!

Is it sad that clothes make me that happy? If it's wrong, I definitely don't want to be right!

I also got a grown-up watch. It's my Easter present from my parents. Jenna & I were at JCPenny looking for a watch for her... and I came across this cute little one... they were having crazy deals- 25% off and then an additional 15% off! It still ended up being more expensive then I would have paid, but since I have a big girl job, a big girl watch is totally required, right? Right. It's like a piece of jewelry too, it's kinda loose around my wrist so it dangles all pretty-like. I love it. I keep looking at it and just shaking my wrist around.

So Yea, job, date, sweater & watch. Not too shabby!

Oh, I also washed my sheets today! I LOVE clean sheets!

And everyone needs to download Kings of Leon "Use Somebody". I'm really loving them at the moment.

I hope everyone else is having a great start to April! Yay for Idol tomorrow :o)

Any Suggestions?

So I'm making a mix to workout to- any suggestions?
