Don't leave me hanging on all night to every pretty little word.

It drives me crazy when I can't think of a title.  That's why I usually just put a lyric from the song I happen to be listening to. I'm so not creative or clever.  


Wow...I finally have a moment to post something.  I have lots of moments where the baby is sleeping, but lately she's been very restless and will only sleep on top of me.  Today she slept about 7 hours throughout the day...and only on me.  We think she's teething...or has an ear infection.  While she's sleeping on me, I usually just read or look at things on my Iphone.  


I have a horrible headache.  I'm sure the brownies I just ate didn't help it...oh well.  We made "brownie-ish" as Kelly calls them.  They are lumpy and the sugar didn't melt and they are kinda squishy but they still taste like brownies.  Therefore I like them. :)  I'm also wearing a Tinkerbell shirt, and it doesn't smell like me.  It's weirding me out.  I'm such a 5 year old...I mean, I'm wearing a Tinkerbell shirt, I ate half a box of Nerds today, and I watched Shrek: Forever After while the baby slept.  


Well, the bridal shower happened almost 2 weeks ago.  I promise I will write about it and post pictures (not that anyone cares but I'm still doing it) later.  Other than that, I've been mostly taking care of the baby and doing things with friends on the weekends.  


Things going on in my life that might be of interest...
1) I finished Friday Night Lights last night.  That was pretty traumatic...I hate living in a world where shows like One Tree Hill might be renewed and America's Next Top Model is still going strong, but fantastic shows like Friday Night Lights are cancelled.  :(  Matt Saracen is now my forever dream boy.  Well, I'm not sure if he beats out Pacey Witter and Gilbert Blythe, but he's definitely in the top 3. Ugh, he's just precious.  PRECIOUS.  Tim and Tyra need to get married and make babies.  Coach and Mrs. Coach are my role models for marriage <3 I want a love like theirs.  Okay, I'm done.  I AM STILL UPSET THAT IT'S OVER THOUGH.  Just so everyone knows.
2) I dyed my hair last Friday night.  Savannah helped me.  :) It's red.  I love it...I feel like I was just meant to be a redhead.  I was actually born with red hair, but God decided to change it to some weird blonde/brown/red shade.  I have the temperament of a redhead though (maybe...) and I have the coloring of one too.  So I shall be a redhead for at least a month.  

3) I have all next week off! This is very exciting.  I plan on going home on Friday night and going to see Water for Elephants with Rebecca.  Those are the only definite plans at the moment, but I'm sure I'll find other things to do.  I am going to get cracking on finding a job.  I'm also going to Memphis with Rachel's family to see her graduate from grad school!! I am so proud of her! She is brilliant.  
4) My great grandbig is engaged!! I am so excited about this recent development! She is wonderful and I'm incredibly happy for her.  She deserves the best life.  Her ring is beautiful, too.  I'm kind of jealous, haha.
5) I bought a new bikini top.  It was $7.50 at Target (but I bought it online so it was actually $13 with shipping, boo).  I love it! It was the cutest one I could find that would fit me well, and it was on clearance.  I am absurdly cheap, so I couldn't pass it up.  I hope it fits.  Yay summer and swimming! 
6) Amanda's wedding is in less than a month! This is craziness.  We have no hotel room for the night before, hahahaha.  I also need to figure out a ribbon for my dress and buy shoes.  Also plan her bachelorette party.  I looked for lingerie the other night...that always makes me feel awkward.  Why am I talking about this?
7) Last friday Savannah, Whitley, and I had a girl's night.  We went to O'Charley's and we luckily avoided a tornado warning...if we had been at my house we would have been terrified and sobbing in the basement. Instead we ate a lot of good food and I had a delicious strawberry colada :) It was pricey but worth every penny.  
8) I'm re-reading Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin before the movie comes out.  I've got about 60 pages left and I just started it Monday.  I forgot how good the book is...it's chick-lit but I not-so-secretly love chick-lit.  You'd think I'd hate it...it involves a selfish drama queen, a type A lawyer best friend, and a really hot boy...and cheating.  But I love it! I like Emily Giffin's book in general.  SO GOOD just to read and not have to think TOO much about what you're reading.


Okay, I will post bridal shower pictures and then later a post all about WEDDINGS and my insanity at a later time.  Probably this weekend, haha.  No one cares...sometimes I feel like I'm talking to myself.  Which is just awkward...

Rambling about my day...

Today was...interesting.

I woke up last night around 1:30 am and thought I saw a mouse in my bed, near my pillow.  Isn't that crazy? I'm losing my mind.  I whimpered/yelled quietly, shot out of bed, almost tripped, and turned on my lamp to inspect my bed.  Of course there was nothing there! I am insane.

Then this morning I woke up and my eye was sore.  So I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirrow...oh yeah, my right eye was super swollen. YAY! I'm not sure if it's a stye or just allergies, but if it's a stye I can't really do anything for it except put a warm compress on it...which I did.  I took my Claritin this afternoon, but it still hurts.  I wouldn't care so much except I have to wear my glasses, I can't wear makeup, my eye is twice it's normal size, and I have a bridal shower I'm hosting on Sunday.  I look like a mutant.  UGH.

This morning Alice decided she would sleep for 3 hours...while randomly waking up occasionally.  This meant that I basically couldn't leave her EVER, to do ANYTHING.  She slept from about 9:30 until around 1...then I made sure to feed her.  She ate a sandwich (not the bread, just cheese and meat...silly baby) and some fruit.  She was acting sleepy again, and I got her to sleep around 2:30.  Of course she randomly woke up around 3 and WOULD NOT go back to sleep.  I tried for over an hour, and all she would do is cry, cry, cry, and CRY.  I mean, shrieking, tears pouring down her face, just completely hysterical.  It was so pitiful.  So I let her get up after a while, and I fed her some more food (kiwi).  I decided that I was hungry and started dinner...chicken and corn.  I have never made chicken before! It was pretty good, for the first time :)  Then I washed her up, and we went for a 1 mile walk around the neighborhood.  She enjoyed it, and I liked it...mostly. I am a moron because 1) I wore flip-flops and now I have horrible blisters on my feet, and 2) it is spring and my allergies went nuts after being outside.  After that walk, Alice wanted to play a little more and my nose was going crazy.  Kelly told me to take some Benadryl so I did...it worked but now I'm exhausted.  I think I'm writing this because I'm rambly but so tired that it's probably just nonsense.  Who cares about any of this?

I'm gonna go because I'm about to pass out right here.  Hahaha...I don't know the last time I went to bed before 11 pm.

Here's a quick, vague update on my life.

It's 11:14 pm, I'm reading a bridesmaid blog...and I was feeling pretty pathetic so I decided to write.

Wow.  I meant to write about Florida, I meant to write about all the fun times I've had the last few weekends, but I don't know what happened.  I just never actually got around to it...I'm so lazy.

The bridal shower I'm hosting for my good friend Amanda is this Saturday.  :) I hope it goes well...I am starting to get VERY stressed out.  I went to Hobby Lobby 2 Saturdays ago to buy some decorations and things...I found a few things, including a really cute special cup for her to use.  Then I went to Target with Rebecca yesterday to buy the last minute things like a table cloth and a picture frame...now I think all I need to buy is food.  I'm planning on trying to make a diamond cake- who knows if it'll turn out alright.  I'm not really a baker...haha.  I also need to find my Breakfast at Tiffany's poster that I own...it's hiding from me.  I can't wait, though.  I still need to figure out the games we're going to do exactly...and buy gifts. Geeze.  I think I've thought of everything, and then I remember something else.

Besides the shower, I'm stressing about jobs.  I am a procrastinator and I'm usually in denial so I just prefer to think about things "later".  It's really awful.  But I really HAVE to get everything together so that when jobs are listed on the internet I can actually apply and hopefully get interviews.  UGH.  I hate being an adult sometimes.  I also need to decide on what I should do if I don't get a job for next year...sub, join Americorps, try to be an aide/assistant/IA? I'm really not sure.  I just know that I NEED to work with children.

The last few weekends have been fun, though.  I went to see Riding Hood with Rebecca a few Saturdays ago...then 2 weekends ago my niece and nephew came to spend the night and I had a blast hanging out with them at my house. :) That night I went to Whitley's house to watch the UK game (we lost...it was tragic...I don't wanna talk about it, hahaha).  The next day was George's birthday party (he's 30...so OLD!) where there was a Twinkie eating contest, a music trivia game like The Singing Bee (I almost won! I need to never doubt myself...), and then there was a corn hole tournament.  I watched Alice until Wednesday, then I came home.  Thursday I hung out with Maddie and we cleaned her room, looked at a townhouse, attempted to go to a baseball game, ate at Mellow Mushroom, and then just acted goofy at her house.  Friday I got my hair cut (it's chin-length and I love it! I'm planning on dying it red sometime soon) and then I went out to eat with George, Whitley, and Savannah.  We watched Quantum Leap later :)  Saturday was Alice's 1st birthday! Savannah and I drove to Louisville for that.  It was fun, Alice got to eat her dragon cake, and I got to see some of my favorite people! Sunday I went to church with Rebecca and then we went shopping and ate some Smashing Tomato.  I love weekends, because I seem to always be with my friends.  My friends are the best, I am so blessed to have them in my life.

 Ryan and Aunt Kasi...I love how grown-up he is, but I miss when he was a chubby little toddler.

Lily-pie and Aunt Kasi...she is such a sassy, sweet, silly girl.  

I'm suddenly exhausted.  Maybe I'll write again later on this week...
