Pinkberry!

Oh what a terrify Tuesday! It was another slow day at work, but outside of that it was a rather exciting day.

1. Lollapalooza Lineup just came out and it made me almost tear up it's so good. Beginning of august well be taking a train/bus/walking to Chicago to see this festival. Manchester orchestra, lykke li, bright eyes, the kills, muse, should I even name more?

2. It's official, people. THE Amanda Hyneman is gracing New York with her presence this weekend. She and Nathan! We'll be going to the Kills show Friday with Ali and her roommate Jess. Glorious.

3. My sweet friend Jonas is coming in town Thursday, and I am stoked to see him- as I haven't seen him in months, maybe over a year? We are going to the Yankees game against the White Sox that night with some Memphis folks.

4. Pinkberry. If you haven't discovered this yet, check it out. Ashley and I ordered this yogurty delicious treat for dinner tonight. It melts in your mouth, I really don't know how to describe the taste. You've just got to order it.

Praying for friends and family in Memphis and surrounding areas during the storms tonight. Love y'all.

Ok folks, I'm back

It's been a few, but I'm back in full swing.

My first trip back to Memphis was even more wonderful than anticipated.

First day.night - afternoon with bestie Amanda ful of mint tea (thank you Aunt Holly), spray tan (explain that in a moment), and a feather extension in my hair; manicure time with Mama with lovely chatting time... then to tops it off - movie with my brothers and soon to be sister and her sisters. African Cats. Is it bad to say that i teared up multiple times when I was trying my hardest to hate on the film? Then a nice little hang with Loye and her Ellsworth at Brian's house/Huey's where we fought off roaches and I dramatically freaked out when I felt a roach crawl on my leg AHH!! But really - I can handle spiders. I can handle snakes. I can handle pretty much any insect/reptile/amphibian that you throw my way. But not roaches. I just cringed at the thought. Can we stop talking about it now? Ok done. Back to what I referred to earlier. Morgan/Wright/Mom/Dad/everyone that saw me Friday morning informed me that my skin was juuuuuuust a bit deprived of Vitamin C and I was 4 shades a Larry Byrd. CLEAR. So yeah that's why I opted for the spray tan.

Second day - visit with my grandmother, Coca, then of courrrsee - Easter with the fam. May I say that my pop/mama fix the greatest ham in the world? I'll say it. Because they do... And we ate a delicious lunch fixed by my mama for the fam, Lauren, Wray wray (my amazingly sweet grandmother), and Andrew and Mallory, and Jeff, Wright's friend from school, who I'll go ahead and consider my new adoptive brother. We missed you JR!!! Then did a little shopping with mama. Got some beautiful new clothes that I'm rather stoked about. Then was Will Tashie's wedding. Beautifully extravagent wedding. Got to see all my sweet friends that I miss more than life itself. My CB, Emmie, Kat, Phil, Pat, Todd, Sam... Love them all!! It was a fun night. Called it early though because I was not feeling up to par....and onto Sunday....

Easter!!!! Woke up in the night feeling pretty crappy. Achey, feverish, all that fun stuff. Owen slept with me. Folks gave him a ham bone that day. Well it reallllly hit him about 3 am when he ralphed on my bed next to me. Poor baby. He was shaking, not feeling well at all. Cleaned him up, took some fever reducer for myself, and tried to get a few more ZZZ's. Had our ANNUAL and hopefully forever traditional easter basket hunt. Got me so many fun goodies from the bunny himself (herself? itself?). Went to the noon service at Hope, and of course one of my greatest highlights of the weekend - still savoring my hugs from Janie, Dave, Doris, Mallory, Jennifer, Kathy, Tammy, Amy, Patty, Emily, Lee, Taylor, Tucker, Eli, (have I named everyone?) I'm sorry if I've left off anyone, but it was the greatest getting to chat and see everyone on Sunday. Ahh wish I could be back!! Love you all so much!!

Bittersweet being back in the city, but I feel refreshed, and ready for what the Lord is bringing me in the days to come. Keep me in your prayers, and I will keep on writin'.

Much love!

Dos campadres with Nino, ScotScot and Ash

Another lovely reminder of back home tonight. My aunt, Nino, and cousin, Scottie, are in town from Memphis, and I got to go to dinner with them and Ashley tonight at Dos Campadres (more like tres! Get it- becausr i was with three froends...BAH!) Laughter is such great medicine for the soul, eh? Shared some pretty funny family stories.... i.e. Recollecting on Morgans Popsicle stain that he always had around his mouth as a child (still today, too?) or his u-shaped drool stain always on his shirts or onesies. And how id always be the one who so curiously dig into things as a child, not maliciously, but simply out of fascination with the world around me. For example, Nino walked into the kitchen at their old house, and there I was sitting with the pantry door open, with every cereal box and chips bag open and laid out around me, while I dipped my hand in each one. Noticing Nino, I turn around and go, "oh hey Nino!!," as if to say, "look at all this cool stuff I found!!" Describes me pretty head on I'd say, because, you know, I'm curious like a cat.

Enough story time, it's bed time.

Signs of Spring

Despite the heavy winds and rain today, there are blooming signs of Spring upon us. Though... it was in the 40s today! Maybe this means the summer won't be too unbearably hot? Either way, I've got my eyes set on the horizons and excited for better days to come in more ways than one!! This summer is going to be amazing; I cannot wait for it. Reminding myself to be thankful in all circumstances, as it is so easy to let myself become discouraged. Take heart! In GREAT news, I'm having a meeting beginning of next week in regards to my early promotion goals that I need to hit. Extremely exciting stuff. I've already come so far, and I know huge things are coming :) continue keeping me in your prayers!!

Feels like the good ol days

Spent the night with Diana last night. We went to spin class which I am definitely feeling today. When I stood up to bike the first time, I lost my balance and my ankle twisted. Got a good little sprain going right now, and hopping to and around work all day. Seriously feels like my cheerleading days. I think it's hilarious that the first time I work out in months I sprain my ankle. And not a better city to hurt it in :) took a car to work this morning and now cabbing it home because I've been in pain all day. Woop! Training has been awesome this week though. I'm learning so much. Actually starting to get excited about my work (and good at it too!)

In bed by ten... Really?

My bed and I are reunited again tonight, and before ten. I think it's a first for me! At least in a minute... I had sales training all day today and for the rest of this week, should be an interesting week to learn more from seasoned sales people. Talk soon? Thanks, and goodnight.

Just missed my doppleganger

Went out to eat with my team last night to celebrate me being at the company for three months (already, I know!), and our waitress informed us that we had just missed Lindsay Lohan at the restaurant. Do you understand how much that would have made the past ten years getting called Lohan so much more worth it?! ...quit my day job to become her official stunt double for all those movies she's doing. Anyway... It's going to happen someday... I swear it...
