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.

Jeans

No matter how stores try to candy coat it, there is a certain stigma around the plus size section of stores.  They can call it curvy or misses or whatever, but we all know what it is.  There is an imaginary line in the middle of the store where no one wants to cross.  At least that's how I feel about it.  I'm sure the girls on the "regular" side could careless, or the workers for that matter, but I always feel self conscious when shopping on the side of the store.  Sure, you get used to it and laugh when you're with your skinny friends and say "I'll be over on the big girl side" and saunter on your way to the plus size section.  While you began to search through the racks on your side, you secretly long to be on the other side of the store, where there is double, sometimes triple the selection of clothes.  You find something, take it back to the dressing room to try it on.  It doesn't look right, it's too tight, it's not what you thought ...

Transformation Tuesday

Good Tuesday Morning to you all! I am up bright and early to go to a workshop today.  It was hard to get up, which is funny because I get up early every other day. Anyways, this blog isn't about my workshop, it's about Transformation Tuesday.... I literally just read a quote on facebook while I was looking for a picture to use, that sums up transformation:  Transformation is not easy. It starts on the inside before you see it on the outside. There are struggles. It comes with pain. It comes with a lot of hard work and effort. Without going through the tough stuff you aren't able to enjoy true transformation. Don't be discouraged but the rough days. Greater things are on the other side! ♥   That's the honest truth.  Transformation isn't easy, but it is the most enjoyable thing I have experienced.  And the thing about transforming your body, you also transform your mind.  Everything changes.   This is me.  This is me before...

CMA Fest Weekend

I am a big country music fan.  Plus I'm a big fan of live music.  Also I am a huge fan of Music City.  So it's a no brainer that CMA Fest is one of my favorite things on the planet. I feel in love with CMA Fest last year when I went.  It was amazing. This year I wasn't sure I was getting to go.  I was a little bummed. However, by pure accident I ordered tickets for the Opry to see Carrie Underwood on Friday June 7.  I didn't realize that it was CMA Fest weekend until I tried to book a hotel and there were not hotels in Nashville.  Oops. So I booked a hotel in Brentwood and decided to make the most out of my happy mistake!  So Friday, we rolled into down in a ran storm and found our hotel.  We changed clothes and got ready then headed out to the Opry.  We went to Orpy Mills Mall first, I hit up the Vera Bradley Outlet and got some sweet deals. Then we went to the Opry.  It was a great show, I did miss Little Jimmy Dickens...
