What's new???

Hello My Fellow Bloggers..... I know I know I have been slacking alot here lately with the whole keeping up with this blogging thing. Well lets get ya up to date on the ongoings in this gals life. Well my kickass cousin graduated with her PHD! Cort is so smart it kills me. We added another married woman to the family. I am still working at SSH and I am coming up on my one year mark. Hello paid vacation! Todd got his old job back and he loves it and I love the paycheck. The pups are doing fine. Although they are becoming very annoying at night and I often yell at them at 3 in the morning when they are up acting all crazy that if I wanted to get up at all hours of the night I would have had children. For some reason they just don't get it even though I have had one on one conversations with each of them on how they can improve on being better pets. My mom and dad are doing fine and my brother is busy dating. My sis still lives in Charleston and her heart is across the ocean in Afghanistan. His name is David and he is amazing! Did I mention I love my family. They make me who I am and even though we fight and bicker we are still a pretty awesome family. Lately work has been consuming my life but I love the people I work with and I am happy where I am. I updated my bucket list it seems to be getting longer and yet I don't know when and how I am going to get most of these done but one day I will. So that is enough about me. I wanna know what everyone thought about the Rapture. That was a bust wasn't it. Oh well I wasn't worried about it. It's all a bunch of crap anyway. They say it was just a miscalculation and that the real date is 10/21 which I have an issue with since it is the day before my 27th birthday...I have stuff I wanna do for my birthday and I don't need some stupid Rapture interfering with my plans. Anyways I hope y'all are doing well and I will talk to you later. Have a great night and I will post again in a couple of months. Peace out cub scout.

WWJAD? What Would Jane Austen Do?

Good evening fellow bloggers!
So whats new? Well let me tell you whats new with me! My dad suprised me and We are going on a Father daughter trip to England and Scotland and a possibly Ireland if we have time this time next year so I am going to need the world not to end! As most of y'all know I am obsessed with Jane Austen! Like totally obsessed! I have already looked into Jane Austen tours and I have already made a google map and plotted all the castles and manors I would like to see. We are planning on seeing Stonehege and I told dad we could go golfing and he said it was too expensive and I asked if they had a puttputt course or I could at least take a picture of him with a ball and club. I mean that counts right. And I want to go to Loch Ness and Find Nessy! I think I will. Anyways even though it is a year away I can't wait. We are going to have so much fun however I know I will stick out like a sore thumb cause lets face it I am southern and country. But I am sure we will make some great friends while we are out there cause people are just drawn to dad and I. On a personal note I have thrown my back out while picking up a child all while dressed as Michael Jackson for character day at work and this is the first time it has happened and man does it hurt. I have taken a muscle relaxer and I am watching Riverdance who is jealous of that? I am still working on photography and I am already doing a wedding and this weekend I will be doing a sweet 16 party. I have come up with a name for my business. Funny Girl Photography. What do y'all think of the name. Would you hire me. I am also booked to do some belly portraits and newborn portraits also. I really want to get this up and going. I am looking at DSLR cameras and looking into some photo courses also. Well this muscle relaxer is kicking in and I am getting tired. So I hope y'all have a good evening and have a happy Tuesday.

HeeHee takes Manhattan day 2!
















Good evening my fellow bloggers!
To continue from yesterday.....So Mickey lives in a beautiful apartment at the top of Manhattan right by The Cloisters museum which is a bunch of monasteries brought over from Europe. It is beautiful because it sits on a hill that overlooks the Hudson river and it was covered in snow. Even though I have never been to Europe (fingers crossed that I get to one day) walking in made me feel like I was in the 15Th century. I mean I have been to the Renaissance festival but it is nothing compared to this beautiful place. I felt a sense of peace and it is the only place that I saw Mickey slow down and take everything in. Anyways there were archways that were over 1,000 years old I don't believe I have ever seen something man made that old. There were tapestries and stained glass and it was just amazing. We got our geek on in a major way. Well after that we went to go see Aarons salon. So here we go on the subway from the top of manhattan all the way to the bottom and we pop out from underground cause at this point we are groundhogs and "I just happen to look behind me and there is this tall beutiful building so I yell at Mickey to stop and she does and I'm like hey what building is that and she goes that's the Empire State Building"I pay my rent there" and just keeps walking and my jaw dropped and I yelled at her again cause I wanted to be a total tourist and take a picture and she says Sorry Heehee I'm a horrible tour guide. Well at least you admit it. So I geeked out then too. Aarons salon is amazing and beautiful in every way. So the plans for that night were to lotto a pair of tickets to see Rock of Ages. Well we take a cab and drive by Times square where my jaw dropped again because I never dreamed in a million years that I would see it in person and it definitely doesn't compare to TV and movies. It is just breath taking and I couldn't believe in the morning I felt like I had stepped back in time but by that night we were in the future. I know I am a dork/loser but it's cool I love myself. well we finally make it to Rock of Ages and put our names in the basket and sure enough we don't get picked the guy that has seen the show like a million times and is on a first name basis with the girl running it gets in. But it's all good we don't need no stinkin Broadway show for us to have a good time so we make our way to the bar to drink our sorrows away where we meet up with one of Mickeys friends. We bar hop and go to a bar that is Communist themed very dark and intimate and we have a blast well then we go one street over to the greatest bar ever WhiskeyTowne where they serve the best shot ever THE PICKLEBACK!!! It's a shot of Jameson whisky followed by pickle juice! Life changing I tell you Life friggin changing. Well we consume quite a number of these and get to talking to our bartender whose name is Peacock and turns out he is from NC too and knew one of my teachers at North. Small world. We had a great time and managed to stumble into a cab and make it home. Great night! Hope y'all enjoy and of course by now you should know what my next blog post will be about. Night Night my little blogheads!

HeeHee takes Manhattan day 1!




Good evening fellow bloggers!
So as I was telling y'all last night about my escapades in the big apple I need to continue my story. Lets begin at the begining shall we since that seems like a logical place to begin. Anywho I get on my flight to NYC and I just happen to sit next to a kid wearing a vikings sweatshirt. So I ask this kid "Did you go to North?" Why yes I did I graduated 2010...(me)- really thats cool I went there too. (kid)- And when was that? (me) 2002. (kid) wow?!? Yep that was how the conversation went and the look on his face was god you're old. I asked him about teachers I had and all his answers were they retired. Yet another conformation that I am getting old. Anyways I get to JFK and wait for my sweet cousin to meet me since I was a subway virgin. My flight was 2 hours and I waited 3 hours to come get me. Bless her heart when I finally saw her she was like don't worry HeeHee I got it all figured out on which way to get home. Well needless to say we pop out of the ground in her neighborhood and it is snowing and it is beautiful. We went to the corner market and got stuff for dinner which was amazing and drank and had an amazing first night there. Until tomorrow my friends when I tell you about day two of this trainwreck that is my experience in NYC!

So it's been a hot one!

Good evening my little Bloggers! Sorry it has been a hot one since
I have been on here! I know I am a failure! Well first of all let me wish all of y'all a belated Happy Thanksgiving!, Merry Christmas!, and a Happy New Year!!! 2011 has been pretty awesome so far! My husband got a job!!!! Yep in 3 years this is the first time when both of us had a job at the same time and I must say that this feeling of a bank account that doesn't hit 0 before the next paycheck is pretty awesome! Also I marked quite a few things off of my bucket list. I went to NYC!! My cousin moved there and I have to say that city truly doesn't sleep! I saw the Empire State building, Times Square, the Statue of Liberty and many other iconic sights that I have only seen on TV and in movies. I rode the Subway which I'm not gonna lie I was a little freaked out about. It was funny I started laughing to myself on the way to the subway train because I passed a subway restaurant on the way to the subway. Sorry I know I'm lame. And then Mickey laughed at me cause I told her this was the first train I had been on since Tweetsie railroad. I loved NYC I never really and truly felt scared but then again I was always with someone and we really didn't go to any sketchy parts of town. the city itself felt like a bigger Charlotte. I had a blast with my cousin and friends and I can't wait to go back. Oh back to my bucket list I was part of a flash mob. If you don't know what that is it is when a bunch of people meet up at a certain spot and perform something as a group together whether it be dancing or singing or what not. Well we had heard that it was the 10th annual Pantless on the Subway...Well even though I don't live there I rode the trains enough to determine that I did not want my hiney touching anything on the subway. Well it turns out that the final meeting place was Union Square well wouldn't you know Mickey and I just happened upon all these people bundled up in big poofy down jackets and hats and gloves and Big snow boots and underwear. It was amazing at least 500 people in nothing but underwear. So right then and there I dropped my pants but I cheated cause I had long johns on which technically is underwear but I say it counts! Here are some pictures that I took and tomorrow I promise to tell y'all more about HeeHee takes Manhattan!!!
