I Tripped And Fell...But The Ceiling Fan Caught Me!

Last night, I may or may not have been dancing on my bed to my new favorite song, "Run This Town", when, out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw a spider on my floor... It seriously looked like a brown reckloose ready to kill me...seriously!
I panicked, tripped over my computer cord on my bed, fell into the ceeling fan...
Take it all in...
THEN I ate the hardwood floor!
...pretty, real pretty!
...I now have a fat lip, and a Formal on Friday night!
Oh, and the spider, just a brown leaf...

FML!

This is obvious if you are a normal reader, because crazy stuff happens to me a lot, but...I have no shame! I've been dying laughing with my friends since 7am...so its okay for you to laugh too, you know you want to!!!!

Another Great Day on LIVE!

Hey girls!

I was so so so excited this morning when I saw that the lovely Julie Andrews was on LIVE with Regis & Kelly! Actually, I get excited every morning when I watch the show, but Julie Andrews is spectacular, and I was just so thrilled! She is so beautiful, just a classic person! In my opinion, she is very much up there with Audrey Hepburn!

She just wrote a new childrens book, and im sure its great! It is filled with poetry, and pictures! She spoke about how her daughter Emma shares her love for poetry, and their favorite poems are inside the book. She said that even now, her family still writes poetry for each other. That is so neat to me! The cover of the book is so much fun, and she is just the nicest person! She kept thanking Regis, Kelly, and all of the fans. It was so genuine! There just dont seem to be many people out there like that anymore.


It makes me wish I was still in New York standing in that stand-by line, what a dream!

Also, on the show this morning, they were calling the lucky person who gets to answer a question...forget that, just to say "HEY" to Regis & Kelly is prize enough!!!
or so you would think...
This woman was making me laugh so hard!
They called, and it went to her machine, but just in time she picked up and tiredly
She said, "Hello?"
R & K said, "HEYYY, (name here)!!
She said, "Hey?"
R & K told her it was them, and she was breathing very heavy!
She said, "Oh, hey, you do know its 6:20 am here right, im just not quite awake yet! Give me a minute..."
R & K apoligized for calling so early, but quickly realized that she had put them on hold haha! They thought she was dead!
Kelly asked if they should maybe? call 911?
Haha! Then, thankfully, she came back to the phone, and they started with the question.
Well 30 seconds ended and when Regis told her it was over,
She said, "WHAT!?" "WHAT HAPPENED!?"
Haha, needless to say, 6:20 was just not a good time for her!

I will tell you one thing, if Regis & Kelly called me at 4am, I would be as perky as ever...ITS REGIS & KELLY!

Tomorrow is Michael Kors, and since K met him this summer while working for Elie Tahari (she met him in the elevator!) we are most certanily going to watch!!

Now I will get back to the fabulous Julie Andrews!
Here are some of my very favorite quotes:

"I am an optimistic lady."

"On the whole, I think women wear too much and are to fussy. You can't see the person for all the clutter."

"Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th."

"Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly."

"Sometimes oppurtunities float right past your nose. Work hard, apply yourself, and be ready. When an opportunity comes you can grab it."

LOVE her! Such an inspiration!

I Miss NYC!

Hey girls!

Well, the title pretty much sums it all up, im homesick! I miss the city more than I could have ever imagined! I am so happy because I continue daily to keep up with many of the good friends I made while I was there! It is so crazy to hear about all of their lives, and how they actually DO go on after NYC!
We have all decided that NYC just wouldnt be the same unless we were all back together, but still I feel as though I should have cherished my time and experiences there more than I did!
When I was there, I really didnt take anything for granted, I knew what a blessing it was, and I felt like I was dreaming!
Even now, I think back on how wonderful it was to wake up, and walk past Penn Station, and Macys every single day to go to work! I miss seeing all of the familiar faces, and breathing the contaminated air in the subway (yes, I admit it, I even miss the subway!) I miss finding a new spot every single day because I would get lost, or sometimes just because I ventured around with my friends!
I miss my friends!
I miss having a nightly Starbucks hour with U, as we discussed all of the happenings of the given day, and people watched for hours! I miss having a pre Van Deimens G&T with KT, talking about everything under the sun and plotting how we were (ARE) going to have our very own talk show one day! I miss running up and down the streets of the Upper East Side in my monogrammed Seersucker dress, (which shocked people more than both of us running down the street!) I miss having drinks with Katy, and everyone in Coopers Tavern in our "spot" after work where we could fit 12 people who could tell stories that made me laugh harder than I have ever laughed! I miss running from room to room to have a random movie night, I miss wearing a pencil skirt every day to work! I really miss client meetings, and meeting all of the new people! I miss salsa dancing with Kevin, and singing "Dont Stop Believin" with everyone! I miss the cab rides, and dinner once a week at 12th and 2nd! I miss going to McDonalds across from home after a fun night out and getting a double QP every night for weeks...im sure my arteries are paying for this! I miss all of the events that everyone was welcome to attend, because the city is just not a clicky place, I miss being my own boss, and learning how to hold my own! I miss working across from J, nect to K, A, and D. We had the best time! I miss seeing the Empire State Building every night when it was lit up! I miss New York Pizza, they rip you off down here, those slices were HUGE! I miss the attitudes, lifestyles, and beliefs of New Yorkers! I miss feeling like I could do anything I wanted to do, because HELLO I lived in the city of dreams, anything is possible! I miss people everywhere living but not noticing anything accept where they are going! I miss the simple things...those make us all the happiest! I miss so much more, I just could go on and on!

My favorite memories, well, I could write a book but here are just a few!

-Running down the streets of the Upper East Side with KT singing a song, and being free as a bird!
-Having the mic yanked out of my hand mid high note during karoke, because in NYC...its serious! KT and I were singing a little diddy for Michael Jackson, and the female version of Simon Cowell totally ruined our moment...whatever, whatever!
- Everyone meeting after work and just being together for hours on end! SO much fun!
- The subway...enough said!
- All of the client meetings!
- Living with my best friend in a room the size of a closet! Im proud, and also stunned we made it without killing each other! YAY!!
- MOST IMPORTANTLY...meeting my idols, REGIS & KELLY!

SO many more, but I cant list them all!!

I realize though, that I cant miss it forever, so I need to treasure the memories and be thankful it happened! A day doesnt go by that I dont laugh or smile about something that happened in NYC! I look at all of my pictures, and OH MY GOSH what I wouldnt give to have 1 more day! BUT, its the memories that count, and it was such a huge blessing to get to live there for the summer! I just loved every minute of it!

We have all been discussing going back to the city after we graduate and getting an apt...who knows what will happen!?
I know though, that I thank God everyday for giving me the greatest summer ever!

Will post more soon!

Embarassing Moment #...I've Stopped Counting!

Hey girls!

The other night when I was home, my brother and I were sitting on the porch listening to music on his new Mac Book!
& YEAH, I am SOOO jealous!
Our school fortunatly/unfortunatly gives us a laptop, but at his school, they are required to buy one. He wanted a Mac and so thats what he ended up getting! It came with a free iTouch too, hmm I kind of want one! Oh well, atleast I can admire it from afar!

We were sitting on the porch, and Sam says,
"Lets see what our top played song on iTunes is"

Of course, his was something really good, I think it was 2am by Slightly Stoopid.
Next, it was my turn, and mine was...
KENNY G: Forever In Love!

WTH! So funny! Sadly, so true! I love me some Kenny G!

I didnt realize I was a 60 year old living in a 21 year olds body...go me!
Oh well, I do love Kenny G, but I swear I thought he was gonna fall out of his chair when he heard me say that! Even I had to laugh...hard!

Have a great Wednesday!

My Life After NYC!

Hey girls!

WOW, it has been an eternity since I posted, and for that I am so sorry!

How was y'alls Labor Day? Mine was way too quick!!

Well, okay I will start you wherever I can pick up!

About 2 weekends ago, I went to the beach with my roommate! It was so much fun, as always! We went to see 2 of my cousins that live/go to school at UNCW!

I have seen these guys every weekend at the lake since I was born, we are a tight knit family, but never ever have I had the chance to actually hang out with them just for fun and go out! Let me tell you, it was the most fun I have had in a long time! I couldnt stop laughing, smiling, and having the best time. I was so happy!

My cousin C, is 24 and he actually works in Wilmington. Lucky guy! My Nana has always said we are the male/female versions of each other! Hes very energetic, and talkative. Hes such a great guy! My cousin T, is 21, and he is like the nicest person you'd ever want to meet! He is my Nanas favorite, we always joke! I got blessed with great cousins!

Around 5pm on Friday, My roommate and I stopped by T and C's apt for a glass of wine and a boat ride. Unfortunatly, the weather had other plans, and so we couldnt do the boat ride because it started raining! Instead, we sat on their deck, listened to music, and told stories of our summers! Our other cousin, A, who is also really fun, lived with T and C this summer in ILM, and loved it! I wish he could have been there with us! E, my last cousin goes to school there too, but has a house a little further away and I couldnt get a hold of him! He is the funniest one! Very out there, but very smart! Hailarious! I miss my boys! My brother sister and I always see them, and its so much fun! It was a nice reunion! All 7 of us are pretty close!

After our wine, we went back to K's house for dinner! Her mom made the BEST dinner! It was enchaildas, and OMG they were so freakin good!

After dinner, we sat and talked about NYC, and funny stuff from the summer until around 10 when we headed back over to C's apt!

I had never been to the beach bars, I had eaten at the restaurants my whole life, but was never old enough to go to the bars, so C, T, K, and I were going to go! I was so excited!

K's brother and his friends were going to meet us out too, because C and her brother are the same age, and I was excited for them to meet!

We got to the first bar, and it was just the 4 of us! C and I began telling stories from when we were kids, and omg they were so funny! They may have been funnier just because we had a glass of wine, but I dont know, we had some wild times as kids! He told some good ones about my Dad, and my uncle too, which were fun to hear! I was excited to think back and remember old times! We laughed harder than I have laughed in a long time!

Every 15 minutes, C gets bored and likes to go to a new spot, so thats what we did! At spot #2, we played fooseball, and loser had to buy everyone a drink! Well, whoever had the privilage of playing on my team, the COUGARS,...lost!

I mean, it wasnt me...HELLO it was obviously my teammate!

Sadly, T left after the 2nd spot, but he was so sweet to come out because he doesnt drink, but he decided to come hang out for a while! T is probably the cousin with the biggest heart, hes so nice to everyone! I was so excited I got to see him for a bit!

Well, eventually we made it to The Palm Room and we were playing pool!

This was my game face...

...notice my buck teeth sticking out...the power that was gonna go into this shot!

THEN...

BAMMMMM

I accidently missed because one of our friends backed into me while talking to someone, and AHHH

My poor pointer finger gashed open on the metal bar on the pool table!

I really didnt want anyone to notice, and then my friend M, who I actually just met when I discovered he was a nurse or something, and he was with our group told me to go wash my finger off, and that nobody saw what happened accept me and him, and he wouldnt tell! Haha! I went to the bathroom to wash my finger off, and OMG it was almost to the bone where it scraped, honestly it probably could have used a stitch! The owner gave me lots of band aids, and K's brother knew what to do for it, so it turned out fine...it was, afterall, just my finger!

It really didnt hurt, but it was just so gross! Needless to say, I lost that pool game! I felt bad, having to leave the game and all, my poor teammate...NO actually I am AWFUL at pool, so in spite of my pain, im glad that my teammates got to win a game haha!!

Everyone with us, and even people I had never met were so so sweet! They all kept coming up and asking if I was okay, and like 20 people were trying to help me! I was completely fine though! Everyone kept asking, "are you scared of blood?, dont worry, does it hurt" just really nice!" I was actually just sitting in a chair laughing talking to another friend on the phone, and then C came up and said we had to get a picture of my hurt finger!

There ya go!

I was really glad we had a big group with us, and that my cousin was there!

I absolutely loved the beach spots! It makes me wish I had gone to UNCW, because I have been there so many times, especially when I was younger, that I knew exactly where I was, and I saw a lot of familiar faces!

Well, on the way home I got really hungry, so we went to Vito's Pizza, where I used to go everyday after Surf Camp at Wrightsville (YES I was a tomboy, and NO I dont wanna talk about it! haha!) and I got a HUGE slice of pizza! It wasnt as big as a slice of NYC Pizza, but it was BIG! Well, after my slice, I was still hungry, but the pizza place was about to close, so oh well!

It was raining by that point, so I took it upon myself to flag down a minivan cab haha, these people were already in it, but told the 3 of us that we could share! We did just that, mainly because I saw that my main man in the back seat had a large pizza in his lap!

We got in, and I looked at him with puppy eyes, and (scratched my cheek with my hurt finger) said,

"hey, I noticed that you have a pizza in your lap, oh my gosh, can I have a peice!? I'll pay you!"

He replied, being the 28 year old single fool he was,

"If I can have your number, consider it done!"

Okay, so our stop was up, because we only went up the road, and this guy was staying in the cab, so I agreed...

BUT WAIT

before you judge me, get this!

I got out of my cab all smiles, with another slice of pizza, and he left in the cab, all smiles, with... the number for Meredith Security!

YES, thats right, all sketchy boys that ask for my number get Meredith Securitys number!

its every Meredith Angels right! For saftey!! I knew Officer S wouldnt mind!

I was full, and not sorry that I gave him that number...im sorry, do I know his last name, religious affiliation, and marital status?! I dont think so! I just wanted a slice of pizza!

Well, after that C took a cab home, and K, R, and I walked back to her house to go to bed!

Just another fun adventure!

I had to wear a splint on my finger for the next two days, and I kept trying to come up with a good story about "savin someones life, and sacrificing my finger", but you know, I think it would be more than a hurt finger, so there was really no way around it! I had to be straight up about my lack of pool skills!

It was so much fun meeting new people, and seeing T and C, I wouldnt trade it for anything!

Life is good!

On another note, school has officially started! My classes are great thus far, and I seriously dont dislike a single one!

This is a rarity, and should be celebrated, because normally, I hate all of my classes in general!

This semester, I have classes with a lot of my good friends, and my teachers are just as nice as they can be!

My favorite class so far is French! My teacher is so nice, and makes it so much fun, I want to do as well as I can!

My other favorite is Business, our teacher is so chill about everything, and very easy to get along with!

Also, I love my PR class! Its my only 8am, but honestly, I wish I was taking more 8ams! I get up at 6 or 6:30 every morning to study anyways, so its so nice to go ahead and have class in a quiet building, get a good parking spot, and see my friends!

I love them all so far!

I have my first few tests this week, and feel very prepared, we will just have to see how they all go! I am excited!

I hope you all have a great Tuesday!
