Shopping Trip/ Whiskey Dix

I was Nashville bound as soon as I dropped by Starbucks & picked me up a little treat for on the way. My treat was extra tasty! I enjoyed it very much... Once arriving I went to Cheri & John place to pick the lady up of course! Cheri & I got in her vehicle & we was off to shop. We love shopping but then again don't most ladies? We had some great music on the way to the mall & then once there we got some pretty great goodies if I do say so myself... I am gonna post a picture of my 4 favorite goodies! 

See now are they not the cutest goodies? I loved them oh so very much! 

While trying on clothing & such this was my dressing room! I think it so fits me... I mean I am a girlie girl after all! Appropriate right? I thought so :)

This was Cheri's dressing room! I am not sure it fits her country girl attire but she is a rockstar friend in my eyes so I deemed it great :) She rocked the socks off that dressing room... 

We tried coconut water & needless to say we both agreed with 2 thumbs down! We hated it... 

I love my Judith March dress! Do you? It is without a doubt classy, & sweet as I am if I do say so myself.. I was more then ready to go downtown to have a great girls night! 

Here is a closer photo :) The dress looks white in this photo but I promise its not! It actually is tan with teal underneath attached with a cute pink flowers! 

Us ladies! We also had several others with us but it was just way to crowded at Whiskey Dix to take photos... Everywhere you stepped you was arm to arm! If their was anyone whom was claustrophobic I bet you money they left within the first few seconds of walking in the door!  Even though us ladies enjoyed each others company we all decided that Whiskey Dix was just not for us! It was more for the regulars whom go there! We are better to stick with the places we are use too! The line dances at Whiskey Dix was nothing like we are use too & we had never seen them done before & the dance floor was too small to learn them sadly :(

Wisdom Teeth Consultation/Lunch With Daddy

I have no idea why we have wisdom teeth & further more I have no clue as to why they are called wisdom teeth. I do not see how wisdom is involved in something that just pops up out of your gum line & causes one so much pain! A better coin for those teeth would be to call them painful teeth. Anyway we all have them unless the dentist gets them or you are one of the lucky ones whom did not have any at birth. If you did not have them since birth well then I envy you... I have 3 instead of 4 but 3 is still a lot sadly. I have 2 lower & 1 top. I will be having my two bottom ones removed in exactly 2 weeks my 1 top one will be left alone. It actually is still underneath my gum & my oral surgeon said it would never come out of my gum considering my two bottom ones have been out now for 2 years so that there was no need to bother it. When I heard that well let me tell you my heart went pitter patter. I did a happy dance! 

In 2 weeks I will be so very pitiful. I am not thrilled by the fact that by midnight before my surgery day I cannot have anything to eat or drink until after my surgery. For those of you ladies whom know me well then you know that I always carry a drink with me... Surgery time is 1 pm so just imagine how hungry/thirsty I will be plus afterwards add pain to the mix ugh so not a good combo! 

I text Caleb after I left the appointment & this was what he sent me! See if you would feel loved by him afterwards...

He better be lucky he is cute & sweet most of the time :) Otherwise I might have to hurt him... Bless him! 

After the consultation I had lunch with my sweet daddy at Cracker Barrel. I love spending time with my father always! I am without a doubt a daddy's girl always have been always will be.  The plate/plates above are mine hello yummy! Daddy got the fish plate of Cod & I tried it finally for the first time & I actually liked it from there because it didn't taste so fishy! I now can say not only do I like crayfish, lobster, shrimp, & crab but I now also have found a fish I like too hello Cod! 

After lunch with daddy I swung by & picked up these babies... Andrea & I are gonna have a girl day at DollyWood. I cannot wait to take her to it because she has never been so this will be her very first time. As for me I lost track as to how many times I have been! I am excited for some girl adult time :) 

Vent Time

As you ladies know I love the ladies whom I follow in this little blogging world. They are not strangers to me at all. In fact from blogging I have made great friendships which I am blessed to have. I live their lives as much as they live mine because it is our stories we share on these blogs which we have created. Its almost like a second family if that makes any since at all. 

Which leads me to my venting. Let me start by saying if you do not feel this way then that is fine but I do feel this way so sorry! Like me or hate me I am honest always & very outspoken. Always have been always will be. I noticed that a few of the blogs I followed are now private! I was a little upset by that not gonna lie! 1 because I had grown to know them through their blog & 2 because if they did not send a request. Does that mean they just didn't care?  I know 2 may not be the case but still its hard not to have hurtful thoughts/feelings from it! 

A blog to me is an online diary/journal that is shared with others! Blogs changes lives of others as well as those of us whom start them! I grew friendships from having a blog! I dont have over 200 followers but that is ok with me! I started this blog originally for me to document my life & all things in it good & bad! If I get more then 200 I will be content & thankful that others like reading about my life & if not that is ok too! I however do not understand how one can go from having an open blog to now having a private blog! When you first chose to have a blog you knew what that entitled yet now for some strange reason several go private none of which makes since!  If you was gonna go private why would you even bother having an open blog to begin with? Keep it private the whole time that way you don't hurt peoples feelings!

I know that some are rude & disrespectful I get that I do but why punish those others whom truly loved your blog? Ignore those whom are rude & disrespectful to you & cherish those sweet loving comments that the ladies whom love your blog leave you! Focus on the good not the bad... I could sit here & say oh everyone loves my blog but that would be a lie! Everyone is so different & each of us all like different things. I know that not everyone will love my blog & that is fine I am big girl & I can deal with that because to be honest I don't love everyone's blog nore will I  ever be one to love every single blogger! That is life & that is how things work sadly! 

I guess rant is that my feelings are just hurt in the fact of  the 3 blogs that are now private I have followed for 3 years now & no longer see anything because they are private! I grew to know those people as much as they did me! They can still see my blog but I can no longer see theirs! I know I am not the only one whom can no longer see their blog but that still does not make it any easier. I am human & I have feelings & when you get attached to bloggers its a tad bit hard! Its hard to not feel like they just didn't care about those bloggers whom truly cared & loved their blogs! Bittersweet ending I guess... I could never go private & hurt my bloggers feelings the way in which my feelings have been hurt even if they was not meant to be hurt! 

Things Im Lovin

I am loving Starbucks especially on these cold chilly days! I go there at least once a day...

Sunday Funday/Movie Review: SNITCH

I had to run into work early Sunday morning to pact a wound & place new dressing on. It took about an hour after that plus taking vitals... Then I was free for the rest of the day to do as I wished! 

I came home after work to change out of my scrubs! I got dolled up then of course snapped this photo :) 

Since my poor little mouth was still swollen on the right side due to my darn wisdom teeth I decided I needed some more of Starbucks yummy heavenly bliss. Hello Steamers! I decided that since Aunt Joyce & I was gonna eat & then to the movies that if I dropped in to Starbucks before we ate my steamer would have time to cool off while we ate then I could sneak my heavenly bliss into the theater to enjoy during our movie... Hello smart thinking on my part! 

Aunt Joyce & I ate at Cracker Barrel. It was very good to say the least! Her & I both love that place..Tell me you don't think my plate looks yummy! It looks delicious & I promise you it was that & more :)

Owner John Matthews of a construction company received a phone call from his ex wife Sylvia. She informed John that their son was being charged with distribution of drugs. His friend set him up in a sting operation. John comes to learn that his son will never survive prison & he feels like it is his fault for not being there like he should have when Jason was a child.

With connections John gets a meeting with attorney Joanne Keeghan. She agrees to reduce Jason's sentence if John can inform on a drug dealer. Agent Cooper leads a task force which will monitor dealings with any dealings. John searches employee records at his work to see if any had any distribution convictions & finds 1 person whom met the criteria he was looking for & his name was Daniel James. John offered him 20 thousand to introduce him to a dealer. At first he refused but then later on decided to help. Daniel however still not know why John needed a dealer. 

John was introduced to Milek a very dangerous high ranking drug dealer. Milek agrees to use John with his trucks knowing that it would make things smoother & allow more money to come in. John completes the task he was given however things go wrong when Agent Cooper does not take down Milek because of Milek talking about a drug dealer higher then even him. Keeghan claims Cooper did the right thing & refuses to reduce Jason's sentence unless John will do a second meeting. John was angry & said the only way he would do it was if his son was release  the moment that job was done. Keeghan agreed to what John asked. Somewhere during this time Daniel finds out the truth which lead to both sending their families into hiding. 

This second time around John decided to take matters into his & Daniels hands only & leave out Agent Cooper. During the second time around was when the cartel finds out what he is doing which lead to a dangerous chase on the interstate. During that the cartel members was arrested. 

The movie ended by his son Jason being released from prison. John & his family go into witness protection. Daniel refuses that for him & his family by saying he will disappear on their own.

It was overall a great movie. I loved it very much... I would give the movie a 4! I gave it a 4 only because I feel like it could have been more thrill.

Saturday Night Happenings

I first & foremost got ready & put a cute little outfit on as you see ^... Fixed my hair & got dolled up! Getting dolled up to go out is a must...

A girl & her shopping addiction! Yes that would be me.. I like to shop but hey now what girl don't? As much as I love to shop I however do not think my bank account likes me to shop! 

I was hungry so we went to Cheddar's to eat! It was very yummy to say the least! It however did hurt to eat thanks to my wisdom teeth :( my whole right side cheek was swollen... I think my new best friend became numbing medication! PS I am just now writing this & I wanna say that today is now Monday & there is only a little swelling left. I called & made a consultation appoint for this Friday after work! & my surgery day will be the 28th of this month for those darn things to be removed! No more pain sounds great to me.... However  I am very nervous about going under for surgery because I have never had any type of surgery before :( So please keep me in your prayers on that day please...

After we had eaten I decided that my mouth hurt so bad that I needed a treat to make it feel better so Starbucks here we came! I got a Grande Caramel Apple Spice.. Hello yummy gooey goodness! 

We have finally found our shirts for our team to wear! The front will say Keep Calm & Rush On while the back of the shirts will say Tribute then underneath Tribute will will have our names individually on them :) We cannot wait... The color for us though will be a baby blue instead of Red! But to the guy above thank you for the great idea! 

Even though this did not happen Saturday night I just wanna say that it snowed earlier in the week & I was not a happy lady! I hate snow with a passion... Poor Midnight got covered bless my boy! I felt bad for him..

Guess What I Bought?

That's right ladies! I went out into the cold on Friday night to make sure I was at Walmart by midnight. I was gonna own it.. I was not gonna wait for others to buy it & then it be sold out! I would have been one pissed off women... After I bought it I then went right back home & popped that baby in the DVD to watch :) It was great 3rd time around! Tears was still shed of course however not as much of me being scared since I knew that the horror of the film was just a preview of what could be.

I now am ready for the life of Jacob & Renesmae... I wanna see them happy & in love & maybe somehow we can have little bitty babies of the two! Think that is possible?

Someone Turns 50 Today..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR SEUSS

YOU TURNED 50 TODAY :)

or as you say from the book 

"Today you are you! That is truer then true! There is no one alive who is you-er then you! So happy birthday to you"

I think you would be excited as to how someone celebrated today! Look how creative one person can be :)

When I was a young girl you made me enjoy reading! I read aloud & in silence. But not once could I ever stop reading those books you were creating. 

EEK I love my little tongue twister I just created in honor of you... 

I still even now as an adult love Dr Seuss books! I enjoyed them as a young girl always! I could read them over any other book until I got older & once older I learned that I loved more then just Dr Seuss books. But I knew that when I had children I too would read those books to them as infants in hopes that once older they would wanna be like their mamma & read them aloud too! I wanted them to love reading as much as I did as a child. It truly does help with learning skills in my true opinion! It challenges you to new levels. I feel like the reason I was so great at English was because of my love for reading. It taught me proper grammar & all things English would have done but because I was reading at such a young age I learned it way faster then most! I never made anything but A's in English all throughout grade school, middle school, high school, & even college :) It was always my favorite subject & best subject. As crazy as it may seem to some I own every single Dr Seuss book that he has written. So again Happy Birthday Dr Seuss! Thank you for always making reading fun to me as a young child which thus allowed me to love even more books out there! You helped me to love books..
