Has it been this long really?

I can't believe I haven't written since May.. even that post hardly had any content to it.
And I'm about to talk in circles on this one.

So here's an update:

I'm in my senior year at ECU, and if you're having a hard time believing this, imagine what I'm feeling. Scared is a good word. I stay really busy with a full course load at school, an internship with Pirate Radio 1250 & 930, internship with WNCT-TV and a job at Pink, A Lilly Pulitzer Signature Store. Mondays and Wednesdays I go to work between 9 and 10 and stay there until about 8, sometimes later. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am in class all day and working until 6 or so.

Lately, I have been in and out of what I call a mid-semester, senior year rut.
I feel like a lot of good things happened to me over the summer and at the beginning of the semester.
And now I feel like I'm not doing anything important.
BUT... That's why I am glad I remembered I have this blog about my mom.
Because, I'm writing all of this down and physically seeing why I need to keep going.
I'm trying to regain focus on everything that's important to me, thankfully, I've got my mama to remind me that MOSTLY everything I do makes her proud.

In the midst of my rut, I've been on a "I want to change the world" kick. Thanks to your movie, Katy Perry.
Tonight at work, I met with the parents of an ECU alumna who died of breast cancer. She was 23 and still in college when she was diagnosed and 26 when she passed away. I read her blog up to her last entry before breast cancer took her life, it was so moving and I beg everyone to read it. It literally has me sitting here wanting to get off the computer and do something epic. Seriously, I could go on and on about this girl. I cannot get her story off my mind. OKAY WHOA, and I'm listening to Pandora, "Island In The Sun" was her favorite song, it just came on!!!!!!

There are lots of things I want to do before I go. Like: tour a winery, talk to a medium, find a man who accepts my quick temper, likes my twin toes and weird ideas, and will order for me (and love me for who I am, obviously), get married in Northwest Christian church, visit another country, own a Louis Vuitton, have babies, meet Katy Perry, have a middle part, get a song on the radio, have a garden full of daisies, live in the country and at the coast, own a weenie dog named "Grandma" and most importantly... make a difference.

Stay positive. Stay positive. Stay positive.

Wanted to wish my Mama a Happy Mother's Day on the blog I created for her and about her!



Enjoy yo day, girl!

I love you,

Shoe Shopping

Who loves the shoes my mom is wearing? I do not. She walked around Belk in these Jessica Simpson shoes. And I rolled my ankle a couple of times in the pair I'm wearing. Taylor was supposed to come with us but she was tired from my Uncle being in the hospital so she rested all day!

Another Puppy dog post!

 

..I sent my mom the above picture.. This is our conversation after..

Need I say more.

Disregard That Part

So, my mom gave me a Christmas card. At the top it says "MY DEAR DAUGHTER".
Towards the end of the card it says "You are the most precious treasure I have ever received..."
I said AW, mama that means I'm your favorite!
Her response: "No, you're reading into it too much."
Me: "So you just want me to disregard that part?"
Mom: "Basically but, it's saying your my favorite daughter, and you're the only daughter so therefore you're the only daughter I can treasure."

K. THANKS.


..PS, Johni is currently yelling at the dog "RUBY! Will you stop licking your heiney?! You are the only person I know that licks their heiney! That is disgusting!" ... Now she is singing an opera version "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"



...PSS. she just asked me if Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are engaged.. Like I'm their best friend and know their business.

Fall Break

Fall break is over and I am back in Greenville now but while I was home Mom was being her typical self. At one point, the night before Thanksgiving, I walked into the kitchen (there was no music playing) and she was doing some kind of booty roll, clapping her hands, and giggling at herself. I was sitting on one of the stools on the computer and we just got new knobs on our cabinets.. She comes in the kitchen gets something out of the cabinet and tries to walk away but the drawstring to her pants was caught in the knob so she took the cabinet door with her THEN forgot what she came in the kitchen to do. On Thanksgiving she was showing the entire family her dances (this time she was playing "Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj).

The dancing did not end there.. The next day was of course black Friday, every store was playing Christmas music and what's Mama doing? Booty rolling up and down the aisles. If she wasn't dancing she was singing. We went to lunch at Moe's, they played Michael Jackson.. MOM LOVES MJ. She was so upset when he passed. Mema about had a stroke because Mom was singing at the table, attempting to do the moonwalk, and screeching "ow!" during "Billie Jean".

I just got off the phone with her, we were discussing what I wanted for Christmas and she was telling me how everything on my list is not in the budget (of course). We got on the subject of what I got last year and I talked about the ipod I got. She doesn't even remember giving me an ipod she is convinced Trevor gave it to me.

Now you see why I have asked her to start writing down our conversations.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I am home by myself. I picked up my own dinner and ate it at Mema and Big's house. Big always asks me when I come in the door if I'd like to talk to him about my life goals, boys, etc. One day I'm really going to miss being able to sit down with them when my family ditches me like they have tonight.

Mama has gone out with some of her high school classmates to eat dinner and such, Lane is no where to be found, Dad is M.I.A. and Grayson is in Memphis, TN. The dog won't even hang out with me.

I am so excited to see my entire family tomorrow especially these THREE who are staying at my house! :)

Hope everyone has a happy happy Thanksgiving and is as blessed as I am to have all of these beautiful people with me................
