Hoping, Wishing, Waiting

I think all I do is hope, wish and wait. I'm waiting for the next chapter of my life to start. I'm wishing that I wouldn't make some of the decisions I make. I'm hoping that what I'm doing right now sets my life up the way I want it to be. I'm hoping the decisions I might make in the next few days do not leave me wishing I had made others. I just hope I don't do anything to wreck what could potentially be a good thing for me. It looks like I gotta have a little faith.


So this might be my only post this week! I have some of the girls coming up for the Florida game. I have so much to do before Friday! I have one person who is suppose to arrive early Friday, so my apartment and cooking will have to be finished Thursday night! I'm sooooo excited to see everyone! I have probably the most awesome outfit to wear Friday night, I'm super excited! Saturday is a little different because the weather is going to be so unpredictable. I ordered a dress that I don't think I can wear on Saturday.......ugh, wasted money! I am back to ground zero as far as game day is concerned! NEED HELP!!! anyway, I'm curious to see how the weekend goes, and it has nothing to do with the outcome of the game! anyway pray everything goes in my favor!  I hope everyone has an awesome week and weekend!

Roll Tide and when your praying for me, could you add Ole Miss in there too? Hotty Toddy!

Randomness

I am keeping this short and sweet, just like me!
 Here are a few things I'm looking forward to!




AND



What can I say?
I am also looking forward to seeing the Atlanta falcons take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 7th! I am at least pretty sure I am going!haha!

I am also looking forward to decorating my apartment for Halloween this weekend! Even if the temperature outside reminds me of late July........I still am going to decorate! Now, I have to start some serious thinking on a costume!!! Did I also mention that the new season of "The office" starts Thursday night?

The Times They Are a-Changing

Are there words that can really capture this man's skill level and aptitude? Mr. Bob Dylan has always played in a league of his own. An activist, writer, singer, and icon are just lowly words to describe him. He really moved a nation forward in it's time of chaos and anarchy. The man behind the ray bans helped change the way music is played.

Bob Dylan was born Robert Zimmerman and was born with natural talent. I would love to just talk to this man one day, Like most of his talented musician friends, he appears to be scattered with his thoughts, it's only by singing his songs that his thoughts are made clear.



Blowin in the Wind, Hurricane, Like a Rolling Stone are just a few of his highly acclaimed singles that I also enjoy. Bob Dylan also has a son named Jakob Dylan who is also an artist that was in a group called The Wallflowers.

Every time I hear Bob Dylan I instantly think of RESPECT, I mean the man is just a genius, way before his time!


I leave you with this, Mom if you're reading this I want this DVD for Christmas, PLEASE!!!!!

Grow up!

Okay, I wasn't even going to post anything today and then the more I thought about something, the more I have to get it off my chest!

I am a little irritated that I go out of my way to be nice to someone just to have them be rude! I was driving today and let someone cut in front of me to let them into my lane......then they would not hurry up!!! they were driving like Miss Daisy and the people behind me were honking their horns at me/people who cannot take a right turn into traffic. The people I then allowed to let into my lane rolled down their window and screamed at me! RUDE!!!! Like I just let you cut into my lane, you psychotic people!!!

I then had a conversation with someone I no longer talk too and so I went out of my way to talk to them, you know friendly Bullsh*t chit chat, the end of the conversation was too extremely rude! I mean what is with people these past 2 days!

Maybe I put on an act of caring about people way too much. I for the most part really don't care what other people are doing in life......hence I have no idea why i blog other than it's a way of me releasing what I can't say out loud but if you are not involved in my life then I just plain don't care. Last weekend I was out and about and ran into a girl that has a boyfriend that use to be friends with mine and I told the girl how great she looked and I loved her dress......all I got was a strange look and a not so endearing "thank you" again............what is wrong with people? I mean I really didn't like the girls dress at all, it was not so cute but I still gave her a compliment, it was the nice thing to do!

Then again I have people that come up to me and are so extremely nice that probably shouldn't be to me. I just don't get it? Even if I hate the other person, if we make eye contact I always say "Hello, how are you?" I secretly don't care but it's a nice gesture. I would hate for someone to go back and say "Ugh, I hate Tasha and she was soooo rude, she didn't even acknowledge me."  I mean there is a thing called "Killing with Kindness" and let's just say I murder!!hahahaha!

anyway, have a great weekend you pretty people!! and I really mean it!!hahahaha

Am I wired wrong?

Okay, so here I am spilling all my secrets......to the world, okay let me rephrase that to you 3 or 4 people that read my blog. I am still spilling my guts, it's been one of those kind of days.

I am not a team player. My favorite sport to play is tennis, and I hate playing doubles. I love to run, by myself. I am not a "we" kind of person. When I was a little girl while all my friends would play "Wedding"  and placing a white sheet around them as their wedding dress, I would be running around with the white sheet over my head and running into walls. I mentally cannot wrap my brain around even thinking of being in a long term relationship again. Maybe because getting into the long term relationship would mean I would have to go through dating again. We all know about those first dates.......the awkward silence during dinner, always having to wear make up, the conversations through text messages because boys don't know how to communicate other wise, the extremely weird/scary things they tell you sometimes.

Am I wired wrong? Every single one of my friends are looking for that special someone. I am looking on how to escape my routine life. They are getting married, I am getting home when the bars close. I am going on dates that I know have no chance and my friends are having date nights with other couples. I am not writing this because I am complaining............okay I am complaining but when do you realize you may or may not be cut out for 'the couple life.'

In the game of tennis Love does mean nothing, how weird tennis would be the sport I take up.

Fall into something GREAT!

Fall is just around the corner and unfortunately Tuscaloosa has not gotten the memo just yet! I keep getting all of these magazines and fliers in the mail with Fall clothes on the cover. I need Fall to start now!! I love Summer, it's my favorite but It's really hard to keep my clothes in season when the highs everyday are in the 90's. It's a fashion dilemma!

However maybe in the next 3 or 4 weeks I can start transitioning my closet.......just a little! here are some looks I'm digging and I can't wait to wear!

  I just love Fall!

I love big purses, scarves, boyfriend cardigans, tall boots, boyfriend blazers! the fashion is so flirty and comfy.  I love the scents of Fall! Pumpkin and cinnamon are a definite favorite and add some hazelnut or coffee and it's even more amazing. I love the smell of burning leaves on a cool Friday night and those perfect Saturdays that involve my favorite football teams battling it out on the field. I love Sunday nights with the girls watching Desperate Housewives and Monday night's going to a boys house to watch Monday Night Football.

Have I mentioned that i also just love Halloween? I am obsessed! I always come up with something creative and this year for the first time, I'm out of ideas!! How can this be? Last year I was Plaxico Buress ( Giant's player that shot himself in the leg) which was a big hit with the boys I must say!!hahahahaha!!! If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it!!

On a different subject, just when you think something is going your way and going right BOOM, Life hits. Why can't life just be easy for once? why can't things work out the way I want? I know that you have to work for what you get in life and nothing just falls in your lap but just this once can't it happen?  I will just put it this way, relationships are not in my favor.......they haven't been for about 3 years now. Just when I got excited about playing again and thought I was dealt a hand I could play on, I looked at the cards and realized the other player is holding all the powerful cards. I let on too soon my hand, needless to say I don't have a good poker face! Let's just say me and my opponent couldn't work out when we play on different tables far away from each other.
Anyway, hope everyone is doing great and can't wait to see the Rolling Stones movie/concert on Thursday night!

Oh, How I'm loving some Life!!

Hello ALL my pretty followers!! It's Sunday night and my last guest just departed from T-Town after another epic weekend! Can I just tell you how much I love my girls and game day weekends? I was super excited for all the girls to be here but I was a little nervous as well. Let me explain, when you place four or five girls in an uncontrollable environment, for example Tuscaloosa on game day, you for the most part get two or three crying girls, one or two lost girls, one Negative Nancy, and hours of insanity. This game day aside from the city of Tuscaloosa busting at the seams with fans, it was extremely fun! This year we had no parking issues thanks to my atty's new house location and the fact the games for the past two weekends have been night games.....my girls and I are NOT morning people!! And my little group of girls have transitioned through the years and I have found myself closest to the girls that are not so desperate of attention.

Here we are on my balcony before the game!

oh yes, yet again I had to wear a dress I wasn't planning on wearing! Ya'll it was soooo hot on Saturday! It was sticky, steamy, humid, and unbearable! We were tailgating on The Quad before the game and with thousands of people under tents and no breeze you could barely breathe. About an hour before the game a rain storm passed through and it was AWFUL!! thankfully a few of the girls and I were walking to visit a boy at another tent and we were walking by a worship center on campus and ducked in while the rain storm passed! Did I mention I cut my open my foot as well? yes, after the game I must have stepped on a broken bottle........warning if you have a weak stomach!

And it looks so much worse than it actually was, I am so happy I had anti-bacterial wipes with me. I am however wishing I had chosen not to keep walking on it and dancing on stage at our favorite game day spot. Can I just tell you that I looked horrible after the game, between sweating from every pore of my body, walking the entire day, having only four hours of sleep the night before ( I went late night swimming Friday night at a boys house who was in town for the weekend and his parents have a house here that has a pool!! :) ) and drinking a lot of drinks can make me look horrible!!! Like I seriously understand why people go home after the game, something I might need to look into!hahaha.......anyway, Friday night can I tell you how cute I looked! I wish we had taken pictures!

Here are some pictures of some recent purchases!!

I also would love to share with my absolute favorite commercial right now! too stinkin cute!!!





I hope everyone had a great weekend and so i told a few of my friends that secret that I was keeping. Yes, the cat is out of the bag! I am not quite ready to let the world know but let's just say my friends couldn't be more happy for me! Everyone that has known me for a while screamed out "IT'S ABOUT TIME"  Trust me, in my own time I will tell you! I'm waiting for some things to develop or certainty before I announce it......and before rumors start.......I'm not engaged or pregger's!

Sometimes you don't need titles

Okay, so ya'll are use to me writing about music. Today I will write about movies, actually one movie in particular.
500 DAYS OF SUMMER

I saw this movie a while back and instantly fell in love with it. It's one of those movies I want to own, like today! This film holds so much truth to break ups and falling in love, and essentially out of love. It's such a masterpiece of indie culture.



This movie has so many good quotes it's unreal!! This movie is not a love story.........it's better because it's real story. (okay a real story for a movie, hahaha)

Summer: I woke up one morning and I just knew.
Tom: Knew what?
Summer: What I was never sure of with you.

Narrator: Most days of the year are unremarkable. They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. Most days have no impact on the course of a life

 Paul: Robin is better than the girl of my dreams. She's real.

 Narrator: As he listened, Tom began to realize that these stories weren't routinely told. These were stories one had to earn. He could feel the wall coming down. He wondered if anyone else had made it this far. Which is why the next six words changed everything.
Summer: I've never told anybody that before.
Tom: I guess I'm not just anybody.

I have 2 favorite scenes in the movie.
    The first is when Summer and Tom are shopping and they are running through the store and they are playing house  in their own little world. I love it for the pure fact that it imitates what real love it. Love is sporadic and crazy and between two people. Nobody else shopping could understand what these two lunatics are doing but Summer and Tom knew, because it was something that was just between them.
    The second scene is where Tom draws on Summers arm, he is teaching her something he is passionate about  and doesn't mind being himself. It is remarkably intimate.

    I've always felt if you try to be romantic then your not a true romantic. Sometimes the most simplest gestures can mean so much more to me than sending flowers, or a nice dinner. I hate it when going out to dinner and a movie is a date......shouldn't it really be about what the two of you want to do. I don't know, I'm a little different than most girls. I would much rather go to a game and cheer on your favorite team than to a movie where we can't even talk. I would much rather go to a record store and check out our favorite music and reminisce of different times in our lives. I literally cringe when I hear  the words from a guy "I want to take you to a nice dinner." I know its pretty dumb, but I would love a mixed cd, it takes more effort on the other person than picking up some flowers from the florist. I get annoyed if the boy has to ask your what your favorite things are........it's called listening to me when I talk. I talk a LOT!!!

anyway that is my two cents for the day, and I strongly urge everyone to see this movie!!! love ya'll

Taking the good with the bad

Okay, I cannot BELIEVE Ole Miss lost the game Saturday, it was heartbreaking to hear!!! With that said, I had one of the BEST football game weekends EVER!!!

The energy was so good here in Tuscaloosa, and the weather was amazing! I had the dress I was planning to wear this weekend altered a few weeks ago and since I am never sure what my weight is from week to week ( yes, I fluctuate a good dress size at times) I dieted all last week. I picked up my dress Friday afternoon and it was too big. Thankfully, I am a girl with a plan and bought a back up one.

After the dress situation was dealt with, the rest of the weekend was smoothe sailing!
A guy came in that I knew from undergrad and stayed with me Friday night, we went out with one of his friends and the guy's girlfriend. We had such fun! The next morning I made sausage balls for breakfast and served them with mimosa's. After getting ready we all headed to a sports bar close to the stadium and then ended up tailgating until the game! During this whole time, nothing dramatic happened that the boys could not solve. On Saturday night, I thought for a moment there might have been drama but after a slight intervention by a better dude, all was taken care of. It's funny how things work out! In fact, I have a secret!! I can't tell ya'll just yet! I'm still trying to process everything and see how everything works out in the next few days.

On a different note, musician guy and I didn't work out! we didn't click. It's fine, some people work out so much better as friends, that's us!

here is a pic of us tailgating!!

 
and here is a pic of us Friday night!!

again, what a fun weekend and Alabama walked away with a win!
Oh while I was extremely bored in class on Friday and so excited about the weekend I wrote this in about 30 min!

Twas the night before game day and all through t-town

there were dreams of good times and many touch downs.

Girls had game day dresses laid out with care

and the smell of chanel and bourbon drifted through the air.

The bars were packed all the way from Gallettes to The Booth

And cars were being towed from behind “The Houndstooth.”

In just a few short hours kick off will begin

And the Crimson Tide will walk away with a WIN!

ROLL TIDE!!!

The Most Wonderful Time of The Year!!

Yes, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year is just around the Corner! No, I'm not talking about Christmas. I'm talking about FOOTBALL!!!!! Yes, here in the south football season makes everything wonderful!



and of course I could not leave out Ole Miss. Since I could not find a good hype video, I decided to really represent the heart of Ole Miss with a few of my favorite video's





    I will officially start getting my apartment together starting this afternoon for my company. This may be my only post of the week! I have to dust, vacuum, clean dishes, mop the kitchen, clean my bathroom, wash sheets and the list goes on! I also have so many errands to run! I need to stop and get some shakers, some beverages, and a trip to the grocery store! I am also looking for a purse to go with my dress on Saturday, the stadium has new rules about the size of your purse. I hate that I can't carry a big purse, I mean I will have to pack stuff like makeup, a hand held fan, a flask and other items!! I always have way too much on my plate!!! I also have my final fitting on Friday afternoon for the game day dresses I dropped off a few weeks ago! I'm going to die if I have gained weight or something!!

anyway, wish W's for Alabama and Ole Miss!
