Post-Birthday Blues.

Post birthday blues. (Is that even possible??? Ha!) That's what I have! I spent most of yesterday with Marley watching tv and opening my presents. I think I told you guys I was going to do some homework? Well. That didn't happen--I decided it was my birthday and I didn't want to do work on my birthday.

So I didn't.

David and I met my mom, aunt, and uncle at Cracker Barrel for dinner for my birthday...and so I could leave Marley with my mom instead of worrying about him at the beach! I wasn't expecting to have any presents at dinner because we usually do presents at the "family" dinner (which I'll have sometime soon, don't you worry.) But I did! I got all of this:

While I'm showing you the gifts I got last night, here's a picture of the gifts I got from my grandparents:

Dang. I am one lucky girl!

One. Lucky. Girl.

So why do I have post-birthday blues? Answer: I miss my puppy. I love, love, love that little booger so much and am so used to him following me around all day, laying on my lap, sleeping all curled up next to me in bed...and he's not here today! I keep thinking he's going to come running up and want to lay on lap, but he won't. I am so pathetic. Haha:)

No worries though, I'm about to drown my sorrows in my pioneer woman cookbook! I can't wait to cook out of it! And it also helps to know that when this boy gets home:

*Doesn't Marley look so precious sitting up there? What an angel! *

...we'll be heading to the beach to spend some time with good friends! I can't wait! And I'll keep on taking pictures ;)

I hope you guys enjoy your weekend! I can't wait to hear about them when I get back!

Twenty-three.

I know, I know...I haven't blogged in a few days! I've just really really really been enjoying my spring break:) But today's big news is....(drum roll please...) it's my 23rd birthday! Yay for birthdays and parties and friends...including bloggy friends!

I'm not doing much today for my birthday other than opening my gifts my family sent along with me for spring break and doing some school work that needs to get accomplished before tomorrow! Tonight, though, David and I are meeting my mom and aunt at Cracker Barrel for dinner! It's not my family dinner--that will come later! (I don't know about you, but I love keeping my birthday going for a few weeks ha!) But I'm excited that they were willing to meet me for dinner:)

Tomorrow David and I are headed to the beach for a few days and unfortunately there will be no internet! I'm sure you'll survive, seeing as I haven't blogged in a few days and you survived just fine without me then! (I'm totally kidding!) But I hope you guys have a great rest of the week and weekend. I'll leave you with a few pictures from this past week--See...I'm getting better at taking pictures to post for you guys! :)

*Update!*

I just wanted to let everyone know...I'm still here! Thursday I woke up at 4:45am for clinicals, my car broke down-ish (another story for another time!) when I was trying to leave clinicals, I drove to Greenville to spend spring break with my boy....annnnnddd I saw Brad Paisley! We didnt get home until about 12:45 so I was too tired to write a blog!

Then, yesterday I woke up and spent the day with my friend Jess while David was at work. We met David and her boyfriend Jake at Nami for dinner and went to see "Alice in Wonderland" after. We didn't get home last night until 1:00!! So I was too tired to write a blog again!

And now it's the middle of the most beautiful, warm days we have had yet this year and I'm sitting inside writing a blog! What am I thinking?! I'm going to play outside for a bit:) But I'll be back and I'll probably have pictures! (you know...because I'm trying to be better about that!)

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Snow? What Snow?

Well...the snow didn't stop us from having school today! I waited and waited and never got the message saying school was canceled! By the time I got home today, there was hardly any snow left on the ground! Needless to say, I'm back to boycotting winter :)

I'm so glad you guys answered my questions! I enjoyed reading all of your answers...and now here are mine!

1. I like to do a lot of things for fun...but the "fun" depends on how I'm feeling haha! Like sometimes, "fun" for me is taking a nap! :) In all honesty though, I spend most of my time working on nursing schoolwork so I like going out with my friends to relax! I like going to Greenville where my boyfriend lives and hanging out with him. His name is David and he works at the BMW plant there in a new program they implemented a few years ago. I'll actually be headed down that way tomorrow after clinicals!

2. Some of you may have figured out from the title of my blog that I am a tiger..a Clemson tiger!! Yep, I bleed orange and I love it! I graduated from Clemson in May 09 with a psych degree. I am currently getting my BSN in nursing from Queens University in Charlotte and I'll graduate from there in May 2011. So all you nursing girls out there---give me some tips on how to survive another year!! :)

3. My favorite tv show...I have a lot! My all-time, absolute favorite tv show is Friends. I can quote that show up, down, sideways, and backwards! It just never gets old to me! I also liked Sex and the City when it was on and can't wait for movie #2 to come out!! :) On a weekly basis though, I'll watch Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, 19 Kids and Counting (yes, I do like the Duggars, they have a very interesting family!), the Bachelor (except now I'm boycotting because Vienna was a poor choice, I'm still fuming over that one!! ha!) and you know what, I really like to watch Jeopardy haha! Wow...that seems like a lot of tv to watch! Sometimes I can catch all of them in a week, but most times I have to DVR the shows and watch them over the weekend!

I need to go start packing for spring break! It's always such a huge decision to me what outfits I'm going to take. Is that just me or do you guys have that problem too? And I'm really excited about tonight because I'm going with a few friends to this "cardio-funk" class. I'd never heard of it until the other day when Vanessa mentioned it and asked if I want to go. She said you kind of dance to music or something? I don't know but I'm looking forward to it! I'll let you know how it goes;)

It's Wednesday...officially the middle of the week, enjoy!

Do the Snow Dance!

First of all-- Hello, hello, hello to all my new blog friends! I'm so excited you've decided to follow my blog and I'm really looking forward to following yours and getting to know you! If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask--although there is a chance that you *may* find me pretty boring ha! (if you do, I'm really, really sorry!!)

Okay, so I have been doing the snow dance all day and I'll be doing it until I get that text message saying classes are canceled tomorrow! Believe me when I say I am more than ready for spring to be here. I'll even be brave enough to say I'd like to just skip spring and go straight to summer! Bring on the beach, lake, and sun tans! However, if it's going to be cold and it's going to snow enough to get me out of school, then I'm totally game! I'm definitely hoping after this bout of cold winter weather that it starts warming up-- I mean it is March now...in the south!

Aside from the *hopeful* snow day tomorrow, spring break starts at 1:00pm on Thursday! Do you think I can make it?? I've got to get through class tomorrow and clinicals on Thursday morning and then I'm headed to Greenville!! I'm so excited to finally see my boy again and go to the Brad Paisley concert! Annndd, my birthday happens to be over spring break this year, but it's still a week away so I'm not getting too excited just yet ;) Anyway, it should be a good week!

Now, I have some questions for all of you!

1. What do you guys like to do for fun??

2. Where do you go to school/did go to school/or if you didn't, where do you work?

3. Favorite tv show??

I'll answer those questions for you tomorrow after I hear from you all! Can't wait to hear from y'all!

The Bachelor...

Okay. I'm going to bed since I have a test tomorrow but I just had to say one thing...

REALLY??? VIENNA???!!!!

Night y'all:)

P.S.- I'm soooo watching Dancing With the Stars this year...hello Evan Lysacek! :)

Posting In Class

Shhh, don't tell my teacher!

Class is really boring today and I can't concentrate! So I thought I'd post a blog. Since I haven't...in a while. Spring break starts in 4 days! I've got 4 more classes, 1 test, 1 quiz and half a day of clinical between me and a sweet break! So I'm obviously having a hard time paying attention haha!

This weekend I basically did a ton of work. Unfortunately, the schoolwork is being piled on and on because spring break is right around the corner! I did find time to go to lunch with some friends! We went to Chile's and it was soooo good! I really need to get better at taking pictures when I go out and do things because I didn't take any! But here is a picture of us from my friend Whitney's wedding back in December!

*Vanessa, me, and Dev at Whit's wedding in December, we had a great time at lunch and I'll work on being better at taking pictures when I go out...woops!*

Saturday afternoon I went to see this movie:

Have any of you seen it? I know some people haven't liked it, but I loved it! It was so good! It kind of reminded me of the movie "Love Actually" with how all the characters are intertwined with one another! If you haven't seen it, you definitely should:)

I guess I should get back to paying attention in class! Hope you all have a great day! :)
