why my roomie and i get along well

i have a feeling...

that i'm gunna get a lot of texts like these this fall

looking at pictures of my friend's kid

"that's her when she was cute."
"was?"
"well ya know, they're really cute at first, but then they get sort of weird looking for a few years."

whoever gets me this shirt

shall be my bestest friend

eureka!

thought i lost my school ring...

just now found it in the fridge...im not gunna question it.

:)

life is full of little pleasures

cue jeopardy song

i ALWAYS nearly starve to death while waiting for a scheduled dinner at a restaurant...do i eat something before? but then i won't be hungry at dinner...but if i wait...i just might die...dilemma

tgif...NOT!

me: whew weekend's almost here...
bank account: you know what, why don't you work a catering event friday night
me: no...i don't really like the sound of that
bee keeper convention: guess what, we're holding a convention in clemson so you get to be open on saturday
me: wait, what? no no, buzz off
greenville: you know you wanna head my way for the weekend
my bed: i feel like we're growing apart. you don't have time for me anymore.
pajamas: i miss your body. how bout we hook up early friday night...what the heck, let's go crazy and have a threesome with your bed all saturday morning too
golds: hey what about body pump saturday morning! you ate a lot of cookies today.
me: i'm sorry guys. i can't. apparently i volunteered myself to work a catering event. and apparently i'm dragging my butt to work on saturday morning.

yuck!

i hope there's some peace and quiet at the pool sunday cuz imma get my veg out on

morning jam to start my long run!

missin ya miss sally herbert!

maybe this time i won't get myself lost in central like last thursday...oh well, getting lost is the best way to add mileage to your run right?

gets me everytime.

story of my life

no....

thank YOU!

there is no finer thing to give to another person than a laugh and a smile.  this outlook keeps me happy. and i hope it keeps you happy too :)

story time!

i've gotten in the habit of calling melanie before bed...today she spoiled me by reading me a bedtime story...the title of the book? "i'd really like to eat a child" ...who in the world would own such a book?

oh yea i got it for her a couple years ago.

shout out to all my fitness ladies!

i'm truly thankful for those who inspire, encourage, and motivate me to work out :) ya'll are fantastic and sexy as hell!

we missed something in our bonfire...

cuz i really will not need this ever again, the Lord willing.

i promise im not racist. but this is kinda funny

im off to set fire to the rain

laura: "goin for a run....see you in like 5 minutes"

haha the first step out the door is the best step anyway laura!

ooh looks like it might rain...should've joined you on that run. i love summer runs in the rain :)

also...some of you think im a beast in the gym....well here's what it really looks like

if you ever wanted to know how to make me melt...

sorry ladies. i call dibs

wanted:

anybody to help me move the weekend of the 27th.
must be strong enough to lift boxes...
and must be channing tatum.


but since the world will not grant this simple, little request of mine...what i really need is anybody who would want to help me out that weekend to move from university village in central to behind sonic. incentive: you get to hang out with me! which should be enough. but since im nice, i'll throw in dinner and drinks....dinner, which i will cook and a drink, maybe two. im poor.

so...yea. not everybody at once...
::crosses fingers and waits for response::

wise words

Rachel was writing her favorite things list the other day...and written by it were the words, "it's hard not to be happy when you're feeling grateful."

so i started thinking bout my favorite things...and though i'm alone in my apartment, i'm perfectly content and in a sky high happy mood. you should try it. i've started this list many a times. things have been cut, things have been added. and i like that it's a list that evolves.

so, in the famous words from the sound of music, "these are a few of my favorite things!" (and you better have sung that in your head when you read it. or else you are not worthy of reading this blog):

snail mail. the wind between your finger tips on a windows down and music up summer drive. Unspoken words. Sunsets. Rings. Bracelets. necklaces. Books. Family. Genuine acts of kindness. Starry nights. Storms. Unexpected laughter. Dancing free. Open waters. Being silly. remixes. birds. Wine. Summer rain. Passion. Music. Europe. my homeboy J Crizzle (my affectionate name for Jesus). worship. karaoke. Mint chocolate chip. food in general. Porters and stouts. travel. Puppy warmth. bucket lists. When eyes meet for the first time. The world through a lense. Pumpkin. Hittin the gym. All things chill. mixes. picnics. baby animals. acoustic. Mango peach. Rustic. Uninhibited 90s music impromptu dance parties. Cloves. Barefoot. Moments. The sun’s warmth on my skin. Sentiment. Common ground. Handwriting. Comfortable silences. 

im a fighter...

 when i need to be

and i'll fight like hell

in an earlier blogpost i talked about the fighting spirit of the vera cruz. well, my mortera side's got some too. my uncle's been in and out of the hospital as of late. and though he is in terrible pain, he keeps assuring us that he is fine because it is nothing compared to what our Lord went through on the cross. i'm so proud to come from 2 strong and faithful families.

mmmm summer rain

methinks...tis the season for blogging and youtube videos again...what say you. hmmmmm?

what are finals...

i dont miss this. AT ALL.

boom. roasted. text of the night.

me:"drew a clover into my guinness while the guy next to me sipped his budlight."

becky: "pansy."

becky: "not you. the woman next to you."

im having trouble identifying what picture you are referring to...

im so hungry that i want exactly 1 chicken nugget please.

why does chic-fil-a offer a 1 piece chicken nugget meal?! what good is that? unless you are ordering like 50 of them that order is entirely useless...

yea...i could get used to looking at that :)

now someone draw this on my hip please

what?! someone reads this?! oh dream big!!

so is it still a healthier alternative if...

i ate the entire box? ahem. hypothetically speaking of course....

moving along. dear justin, im addicted. no bueno! bad justin bad! it tastes like the inside of a friggin ferrero rocher chocolate for crap's sake! foul tempter you.

LOVE this

first copy's yours

when i run

pray tell what is this?! and can i be involved???

when do i not?

haha..but really. legitimate question.
