Hey girls!

This weekend was so perfect in Salisbury! I went home on Friday right after class to get my hair done (finally!!) and I ended up going to my moms hair girl! She has done my moms hair for over 20 years, and she always does such a great job! I went to her with a picture of my favorite celebrity, Kelly Ripa, as I always do, and I told her I wanted my hair to be that color!
It turned out great, and I am so glad, it always makes such a difference to see my hair with nasty roots, and then freshly done! I always wear it in a low pony tail every day because I hardly have time to get myself ready for the day, and my hair just feels better up. So I was so glad to get that done, and then have the afternoon at home!

My parents worked in the yard all day Saturday and they did such a wonderful job, it looks great! My mom always has the greatest decorations in front of our house, and this year with all of the new flowers, and pine needles it just looks so good! She puts out so many pumpkins, and so many tasteful decorations!

I had so much school work to finish this weekend, and for some reason I get so much more done when I go home! I think I can focus better. I really need to try to go home less, but my roommates and I really love to go home every other week or so! They live an hour away, and I am just 2 hours away! It is such an easy trip, and I love seeing my family, and going to my church! It is great!

It is finally RING WEEK!!!! At Meredith, when junior year comes, we get an Onyx ring!! It is the biggest tradition, and I am so excited about it! We have a big dinner/party and our lil sis' come and sing, and then we get to just mingle and see friends...oh and GET AN ONYX! It is so great, because even working at News 14, I met a Meredith Alum because I recognized her Onyx on her finger, and we must have talked for an hour about Meredith and how wonderful it is. I cant wait to wear mine for years to come! I am sitting at a table with 10 of my closest friends, and it is going to be so much fun! I am going to wear a pink dress, and get a (mild) spray on tan! So many people are doing tanning beds, but I know that after Thursday, I will be as tan as the rest of them and look great! I am looking so forward to it! I have no problem admitting that one of my flaws is that I can be a tad vein when it comes to big dinner parties/any party. I have to make sure I do everything I can to look my best! I CARE (sometimes a little too much!)

On a complete other note, this weekend I sent off more information to various casting directors for auditions! Also, I e-mailed my pal (I wish!) Ben Stein who I mentioned I met a few weeks ago while working with the news. I asked if he remembered me, and he said he remembered me well, and was so glad I e-mailed him!!! How random, he remembered me!! I was so excited! He is going to help me figure out the best way to go about building my resume, and getting pictures, also help me get in contact with an agency! He is such a down to earth, nice man...I just think hes an angel!

I hope everyone is having a good week...I feel like I haven't blogged in forever! I have been reading though, and all of your blogs bring a smile to me each day! Thank you!

Have a great Monday!

Hey girls!

I am sorry I haven't posted in a few days, the last few days have been chaotic, and this weekend proves to be the same. I will post again after Sunday! I hope you're doing great!

Have a great Friday!

RIP Chazzles

Well, I found out tonight that Charlie had to be put to sleep. Usually, when a pet dies, it doesn't really effect me very much, but this time since I ran over him, I feel a little bad about it! I just feel so bad for my poor sister! She says shes fine, but I know she has to be a little bit sad.
Oh well, Charlie's in a better place!
I am already looking for a beautiful new kittens to surprise her with when my roommates and I go to my house this weekend to watch my brother on Homecoming Court!
Tonight, we went to Pets Mart and got numbers for all of the rescue clinics in Raleigh. Just spur of the moment, I asked if any of them had any Shih-zu's or pugs because they are so adorable and I was just hoping I could snag one! Unfortunately, the lady said they didn't usually get those up in the shelter!I should have known that no shelter would have them, but it never hurts to ask! I also asked if they had any orange, or white cats because thats what I really need and they DO!! YAY, so tomorrow is the day! We are going to look as soon as I get done at the News Station! My sweet roommates and I are determined to find a kitten before Friday!
I swear those girls are like my sisters, so helpful! Always there when I need them, and of course vise-versa!

Oh well, after many tears this weekend, I think this is going to be a great week.

I hope y'all had a great Monday!

Fall Break!

Hey girls!

I just got back from Fall Break and it was great! It was so nice to get to spend time at home, Salisbury is my absolute favorite place in the world! I am glad to be back though, I left this morning at 8 and got back here around 10 just in time for my Othello Test...eww. I took my brothers friend with me today because he needed a ride. I for sure thought it would be the most awkward 2 hours ever, because I just didnt know the guy that well but it turns out that he is just the nicest guy and we talked for the whole 2 hours! What fun!

So last week, I left on Wednesday night and headed home almost ready to go 80 in a 65 because it was just that time in the semester where I NEEDED A BREAK! When I got home, my mom was there as always to meet me with a big hug and a Diet Sundrop, (shes the best!) then we had our usual porch time for about an hour and I told her about ALL of the things that had been going on. Of course, you know them all because I post them on here. The first night was the beginning of what was a very interesting, but wonderful fall break!

Here's the story!

So, Friday my mom and I had planned on doing some SERIOUS fall shopping because Banana Republic was too irresistible to pass up, and we had to pick up my brothers new suit so why not shop?! (He is escorting his friend this weekend on Homecoming Court, 3 girls asked him!! GO SAM! I am so excited for him!) Anyways, so on Friday, I woke up and decided that I would go to my favorite BBQ place and get a sweet tea! It was about 11 o'clock, and as I was pulling in my driveway and I was seriously going like 2 miles an hour...when I reached for my croakies on my mirror I heard a CRUNCH sound!

AHHH! Okay let me just say I ALWAYS try to break for animals, and I could not believe what happened next!

So I looked around, and I thought...that better have been our dog, Ralph's dog toy! I didn't see my little sisters cat, Charlie, anywhere though and I knew that he was outside. Sometimes Charlie and Ralph wander to the golf course, so I thought maybe I hit one of Sam's soccer balls...I guess what I am saying is...I was too scared to get out of the car and see what I did!

All of the sudden, I see poor Charlie dart from in front of my car and run into the woods in the new neighbors yard! I swear, I thought I just knicked his tail though because he was running incredibly fast, so I knew none of the major parts of him were crushed, he was still in tact thank the Lord!

I decided after about 5 minutes of shock and denial that I REALLY DID hit the cat to go search him out in the bushes! I kept calling him, and we have new neighbors as I said and I had to go into their yard (they are both just as old as fossils so I didn't think they would notice!) WRONG! The woman was sitting on her sun porch just staring at me with the funniest look, I really had no choice but to smile and wave, even though tears were pouring down my face...oh well! She waved back, she doesn't see very well! I know she was probably thinking what the hell? Y'all, she doesn't even know where she just moved too, there is never a dull moment in our neighborhood...I sure hope they enjoy.

Anyways, so I started looking and calling his name, not knowing what exactly had happened I was thinking the worst! I couldn't let anything happen to Charlie! My sister absolutely LOVES that cat, she buys him outfits, Halloween costumes, and treats him like royalty! It's really funny, and maybe a little over the top, but you know people love their pets. All of the neighborhood loves him too just because Sarah talks him up like hes a person haha, we had friends in the neighborhood calling all weekend to check on the poor thing! I felt so awful!

Anyways, so I eventually found him laying in some ivy, as I went in to look at the damage, I took a tree branch to the eye, and a spider web to the face! OUCH, now I have a bruise on my eye...pretty! Not that this even compares to getting hit by a car or anything!! Just saying...anyways so I was just a mess at this point just so upset because I knew he was hurt and I did it! He wasn't meowing or anything, just staring at me and acting normal. The vet told me he was in shock. Anyways, so I picked him up and it turned out that his leg was an absolute mess! I called the vet and just lost it! I told them I hit my sisters cat and they just had to fix him! The lady was like "girl calm yourself down before someone else gets hurt with your car!" Haha, at the time...RUDE, but now looking back, it was kind of funny! I took him in, and anyways the first 24 hours were an extremely trying time, because they didn't know if he would make it. Thankfully, today Sarah gets to pick him up from the vet because it ended up that his leg had popped out of place. The vet said he could pop it back in but if it doesn't heal, they will have to put Charlie to sleep...oh my gosh! OH The guilt!!! I am already looking for a cute puppy to take home because Sarah really wants another do. I found a little Shitzu so I already e-mailed the lady and I know everything will work out just fine.

I just cant believe I did that!

So anyways, I eventually did do my shopping, and it was great! I got 2 new cute dresses, and a new suit from Banana Republic for work! I am so excited! Banana Republic is having a huge sale right now, so if you haven't been you should go! Polo also FINALLY got their hoodless sweatshirts in, and they had a pink and green one! I love those, the only other color they had was gray and I really don't look too cute in gray so I am waiting to see if more come out. I would love to have a blue or yellow one!

Friday night was "Downtown Night" and it was so much fun! Not only did I get my picture taken at the political office with cardboard cut outs of McCain and Palin (YEAH!), but also there is this cute gift shop called "Queens" and she had her whole upstairs decorated for Christmas! It was truly so beautiful! At least 5 upside down Christmas Trees, and probably 20 more trees! She had everything, monogrammed Christmas coasters, wine glasses, and beautiful, beautiful ornaments. I got a lot of my Christmas shopping out of the way!! I never get this early of a start on it, truth be told I am nowhere near ready for the Holidays, but it was nice to knock some of it out before all of the madness starts! I remember trying to go to a mall one time 3 days before Christmas...absolute HELL! Nobody spoke English, I bet there were more strollers than people (no offense to those with babies!!) and also the traffic just gets to be awful when I go that late! Never again, I am getting it done!

Sunday we celebrated all of the birthdays on my moms side of the family, and my aunt apparently hates to cook, so we all went to The Cheesecake Factory at Southpark Mall! It was really good, and it was great to visit with everyone!

PLEASE go google all of the Tina Fey skits where she plays Sarah Palin, they are absolutely hailarious! Especially the one about the VP Debate where the camera goes to her, and she has a flute and says "Oh are we not doin' the talent portion?!" HAHAHA!!

Seven Random Things!

Thank you so much for the tag, Preppy Southern Princess!

Here are my Seven Random Things!

1.) I am ambidextrous
I dont know if I spelled that right, but yes I do use both hands for everything. I usually write with my right hand, and do everything else with my left hand. I have always been able to do most everything but write with both hands.
2.) I am madly in love with Lucas Grabeel!
YES! I am! He plays in High School Musical as Ryan, and most people love Zac Efron...pshh Lucas is where its at! If I met him tomorrow and he asked...id marry him!
3.) I can memorize any rap song after hearing it one time!
If I could do this with Chaucer, or Shakespeare I would be set in college! I can memorize any song for that matter after one listen, movies too! Its weird.

4.) I was an absolute angel in High School and regret it.
I never drank, smoked, did anything wrong...EVER. I kind of wish I had done one crazy thing, but I didn't! I was friends with people that did, but peer pressure never got to me. I am having my fun in college. For some reason though, it was never appealing to me, and still really isnt.

5.) I met Ben Stein and we had a very random conversation for 30 minutes.
I met Ben Stein at a Chamber of Commerce event here in Raleigh, I was working with News 14 and he was speaking at the event. We went backstage in hopes of an interview and he told me I was beautiful, and he would look for me on TV. He also said he had been to my hometown and eaten at a Waffle House haha! We talked about the economy, and he did his Bueller Impression!

6.) I have to look at my hands to tell my left from right!
This is so sad, but I just cant do it!! I have freckles on my right hand, and my drivers ed teacher, Doris, always thought I was cheating when I would drive because I would look at my hands when she said make a left or right turn. I know my left and right, but I have never let a dermatologist take off those spots on my right hand...ya know just in case I happen to forget one day! Haha!

7.) I have dated way to many people and I have impossibly high standards!
I go to dinner, parties, dances with alot of nice guys, but in the end none of them ever last very long. My friends give me a hard time because they get mad that I date so many and don't stick with one. I feel badly about it, but I have really only dated one that I regret losing!

There ya go!
