My Birthday Celebration

Ok, so my birthday isn't until Tuesday and maybe I celebrate my birthday for an extended period of time, but that's just how I roll.

Friday started the birthday celebration. I got to spend my Friday night with the most amazing, most awesome, most spectacular, most fabulous and hands down the most interesting group of ladies on the planet. I was blessed to meet this girls six years ago in college. We all worked at a day care, where we cared for children, caused many shenanigans, and grew up. Honestly, I didn't like some of them when I started (and they know about it), luckily I outgrew that and now have four of the best friends anyone could have.

We go to get dinner together once a month (this started in Jan. 2012 and we have yet to miss a month) and have an annual Christmas party, along with a birthday bash in mid-April to celebrate our birthdays. Our night consisted of lots of laughs, food, girl talk and texting boys. Maybe one day I will do an introduction to my friends blog, of course only if they approve, ooh and maybe a guest blog or two....that'd be fun! Anyways, enjoy a few pics from the night before I tell you about Saturday....

My better halves :)

So Saturday, my BFF Katie talked me into a Scottish Festival, there may or may not have been a promise of meeting a boy. So I went to Batesville on the little amount of sleep. We arrived at Lyon college to the sound of bagpipes and the site of men in skirts. I may have made Katie purchase a fairy headband to wear throughout the day. After the initial shock of the Scottish Fest wore off, it actually turned out to be pretty fun. There were several vendors with some pretty cute jewelry and tasty food (I may have eaten a red velvet funnel cake, but it wasn't as magical as I imagined). Katie also rented a dog for me. He's name was Andrew, however I called him Conway.

We had 15 magical minutes together

Today, I celebrated my birthday with my family, complete with a homemade chocolate cake with butter cream icing. It was magical. I also received Les Miserables from my mother, and I have been wanting it, but holding out buying it. I am watching (and crying and singing along) currently.

I hope everyone has a great day, and don't forget to wish yours truly a Happy Birthday on Tuesday.

Let's get some things straight

First thing's first, don't think I will type something every day, I won't. Secondly, apparently some folks think I am not happy. That is totally not the case. I know I did at one point in my post last night refer to this point in my life as a "season of sadness". I did not mean necessarily mean I am sad and you should feel sorry for me (or offer up your advice on finding a man). This year has sucked. And it has nothing to do with a man. I am content as I am. It took me 30 years to like myself and the person I am and I will not start feeling sorry for myself again. Yes, there are times it would be nice to have a man. It would be nice to have a relationship, someone to spend time with, and someone to share life with. However, I know what I want. I know what I don't. And I know what I will not settle for. I will not settle for less than what I want or less than what I deserve. I would rather be alone and unhappy than in a relationship and mi

Motivation Monday

This a story of two very different girls. This is the first girl... Hot Springs 2012 Nashville July 2012 CMA Fest June 2012 Nashville 2012 July 2012 Christmas 2012 She is 26 years old and is a third grade teacher. She enjoys buying shoes, going out to eat, going to musicals and going to Nashville (a lot). She has a pretty good life. She drives a sweet red Mustang (with pink interior lights) and has the best friends a girl could want. She is a funny girl and has big dreams. She believes your only as old as you feel and she still feels like a kid. She loves pink and sparkly things. She never meets a stranger and could talk to anybody. But that is what she wants you to see. She wants you to see her with a smile on her face and she wants to see all the fun she has. She doesn't want you to know that inside, she isn't happy. She isn't satisfied and she is disgusted with herself. She knows something has got to give. She is tired of feel

Link Up

Finish The Sentence With Jake & Holly Hey! I've never done a link up before but I thought, why not. My page sucks and I'm almost embarrassed to link up and have some really cool "professional" type bloggers look at it, but oh well. Make fun if you want, I'm a stressed out teacher, that hasn't even had time to blog in ages. Anyways I read these link up things all the time, always wanted to join in the fun. This one looked fun...so here it goes. I hope I don't suck. BTW, I'm such I loser I don't know how to link up right, sorry I'm a failure My happy place... Walking down Broadway in Nashville, TN. I love all the live music you can hear from every honky tonk. Or at a musical.... Or at a live concert... Or the beach... Pretty much if you get my out of the house or work I'm friggin' happy. Whatever happened to... Andrew Keegan. I may google that later. (and yes the Full House song popped in my head too)
