Little of this, Little of that!

Hello! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Worked all weekend but it was still great. My Gamecocks won and that's always good and since I am a daddy's girl and he went to clemson I will say it was exciting to see clemson beat miami! However come November 28th when we play clemson I will be fully outfitted in garnet and black!! Hope we can pull a stunner on the other team in orange, Tennessee, this weekend!! Although Halloween is on Saturday I fully intend to park myself, along with some friends, in front of the TV to watch the South Carolina game! Sadly I will not be dressing up this year. This week is crazy with school and work. Saturday I will run my first 5K. I am super nervous! However I am super excited since this is the first time I have ever done anything like this. I hope to continue to run and build up to several different races in 2010. I honestly cant believe October is almost over! However the next 2 months are full of exciting things! I updated my ipod last week and found myself listening to xmas music! Oddly enough I enjoyed it although it was a little premature. Guess thats about it for now! Promising some exciting posts in the future! Hope everyone has a great week!

P.S. I have TONS of sorority tshirts left over from college and I saw an ad to make them into a quilt! Sounds like a neat idea, but when I googled it the kits where between 200-400 dollars...yikes! Anyone heard of this idea? any suggestions/thoughts? Thanks!!

Drivin' along Singin' a song

I babysit on Mondays and Wednesday from 2:30-5:30! I used to nanny for these 2 children 3 summers ago and I have just stayed close to the family since then! Love the two kids B( the boy) is 7 and L( the girl) is 4. Anyway I pick them up from school and take them home till their parents get off work! Since being their nanny I have always known how much these two kiddos LOVE country music and I too love some good ole country music. Usually in the car on the way home the fall asleep cause they are both so exhausted from school but yesterday when I picked them up I had my music a little larder than usual and as I was driving I noticed them singing along! So for the remainder of the car ride to their house WE all sang along to the likes of Kenny Chesney, George Strait and Taylor Swift. I love how children can make anything a good time! They both have Billy Currington's People are crazy song memorized...L loves to sing " God is great, Beer is good, and people are crazy!" Love it! 

It's always a party!

Remember when you were a child and everything seemed like something new and exciting...
Recently I heard someone say that their young child called everything a party for instance the child was going to the dentist so therefore it was a dentist party....how wonderful to think of everything as a party i.e. a potentially good time. With that thought I figure this week I will be celebrating

• Lack of funds party
• A math test party
• Busy at work party

See things are already looking up! I re-read my post from the other day and it seems all I could be last week was a negative nelly! Life is good every day! Hope everyone has a fabulous week! My beloved Gamecocks won this weekend and moved up to # 22 in the polls! We are now 5 and 1...now thats something worth celebrating! Happy Monday!

Why ?!?

This week has been crazy...and these are just some thoughts I'm pondering today!

• Why at the age of 23, do my wisdom teeth decide to suddenly appear...causing me lots of pain!
• Why is it soooo expensive to go to the dentist ? 282 dollars for xrays and cleaning...really?
• Driving school for 8 hours on Saturday to get a speeding ticket dropped
• Fall for Greenville this weekend...of course I wont be attending do to driving school/ work/ lack of funds
• Tuition and Credit card bill creeping up on me both due next week
• This whole trying to save money thing just aint workin out for me..and I meant to say aint!
• Bought the new issue of Glamour because I thought my subscription didnt kick in till November, came home checked the mail what do you think was in the mail box....BRAND NEW ISSUE OF GLAMOUR!

 Two words that come to mind : Stressed and Overwhelmed!
Now I know all of this seems very unimportant in the big scheme of things but wow it's alot to take in!
I'm trying to be postive as I know this too shall pass! Hope everyone has a great weekend!! This weather is wonderful!!
