All in a weekend

Whew!!  What. A. Weekend.

If, I had to sum this weekend up it would be fun slammed back full of fun.

Friday night....me & two little girls went to get our nails and toes done!!

Props to Ansley & Ashlynn we had to wait forever!!  They never made a sound.  We sat on the floor and watched Hello Kitty on the Ipad until they called our names.

Then it happened they called us back and the FUN started:

Ansley with her blue polish

Ashlynn with her purple polish

The girls & I had the best time!!  We all enjoyed our girl time that included being pampered :)

On the way home we let all the windows down, played the radio loud and sang to the top of our lungs.  What memories we made & oh, those giggles come from my backseat are ones I won't EVER forget.

LOVE. THESE. GIRLS!!

Saturday, mom and I got up and headed to Newnan for the 2012 Great Strides Walk!  One of my very best friends little boy has cystic fibrosis.  Please read up and learn more about CF http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/  45% of the CF population is 18 or older. I don't like those odds so LET'S FIND A CURE!

Today was the Cotton Pickin' Craft Fair so, mom, myself & my best friend head out around 9 this morning.  We had a great girls day that included shopping & laughing!  It was a crazy weekend with a lot jammed into two days, but I wouldn't have it any other way. 
 
Now, onto laundry and getting ready for a new week. 
 
Have a good one y'all :) 

Party of 1

Ms. Hartsfield we have your table ready right over here for your pity party - party of 1. 

Geez, I'm not sure what my deal has been over the last few days, but I have just been in a funk!  For the most part I think I have been able to hide it from everyone around me, but on the inside I have been tearing myself apart.  I'm sure I'm not the only person who does this or has these moments, but they are just odd for me.  Normally, I am a pretty much a happy chick.  You know the kind that is laughing, smiling, talking it up, but not lately.

When this happens I find myself questioning myself in every single aspect of my life.

• Am I a good person? Am I nice enough to people?
• Am I a good daughter, sister, granddaughter, aunt?
• Am I a good friend?  Am I a selfish friend?
• Am I good employee? Co-worker?
• Am I skinny enough?  Am I in shape?
• Do guys find me attractive?  If, not why?
• Did I choose the right path for my life?
• What could I do better in my daily life to make me a better person?

You get the point.  Right?  Because I tell you those are not the only questions that go thru my mind.  I am telling you it becomes a CRAZY whirlwind in my noggin.  One thing just leads to another!!  To the point I drive myself up the wall with it. 

I have pin pointed it to when I have A LOT going on in my life & my plate seems to be overflowing all over the table I get out of whack.  I am a person who NEVER wants to disappoint anyone & when I am going in 500 directions I also feel like someone or something is going to get left out or off.  Which will end of up a disappointment of some sort.

I know I will be fine.  I know I will get out of the funk.  I know it takes time.

I know there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Relay for Life 2012

Friday, night was Relay for Life in Henry County & it was amazing!  I look forward count the seconds to this event every year for so many reasons.  #1 is that my mom is a 2 year Cancer Survivor...can I get a AMEN?!  There is nothing better than watching her walk the Survivor lap :)  Even, with my mom being a survivor I love being involved in such a touching event within our community. From the time the event starts until we are packing up our campsite it's filled with so many emotions.  As, you look around the football field you see people, young & old smiling, laughing, talking, dancing, and hugging.  If, you are not involved in Relay please get involved!!

1,408 Participants. 105 Team. Over 400 Survivors.

$375,000.00 Raised

Ok, now picture overload :)

I Wanna Wednesday

First, off I have to tell all my family & friends THANK YOU for making my birthday SO much fun & special yesterday!!  It was great & I hope I have 34 more years with each and everyone of you!!  MUAH!!

I actually got one of things I have been wanting since before Christmas!  My parents gave me Tori Spellings new part planning book:

I was so excited  ecstatic about opening it up.  I tell ya I am ready to plan it up...watch out friends I will planning parties for anything with this book :)

Ok, ok here are two things on my I wanna list, but they are starting to become a need.

Can I tell you how much I HATE wearing my contacts!  Can I get an AMEN from anyone who has to deal with these dang things.  I am telling you they are a pain, but they are needed because I DESPISE my glasses even more!!
So, my #1 item is:
LASIK EYE SURGERY

Since, this is a pretty pricey want and insurance won't cover....HUGE POOP there!  I guess I will be wanting on this want :(

#2 This one is really becoming more of need than a want because my old faithful HP is gonna go to the other side one day soon.  Since I am totally in L-O-V-E with both my Iphone and Ipad I am going APPLE!!

Of, course with the passing of another b-day and getting another year older I might need to add:

• Botex
• Tummy Tuck
• Boob Job

To my list of I Wanna Wednesday's :)

Tuesday's Trash

No, I am not going to talk about some kind of political scandal. Sport or reality gossip or anything really juicy at all. All though that might be more interesting than the "trash" I have on my mind.

If, you are someone who knows me. Not facebook, twitter or blog know me, but you know the real life me you know I hate trash night. Honestly, hate could be an understatement. I mean come on have you looked at a trash can lately? They stink, they are nasty...I mean really can you imagine how many germs are hanging out on that thing? Oh, & not to mention the thing is as big as me. No, really it is! I'm only 4'11" so, really I could get in and ride in the thing almost in the stand up position. I REALLY can't express how much I HATE taking the trash out, but hey let's face it it has to be done. If, not I would be on the next season of Hoarders on TLC.

Tonight, while taking the trashcan out to the end of the driveway. I know what a glamours picture you have painted in your head ( insert shorts, t-shirt, no make-up and flip flops ). I caught the smell of a scent that took me back to my childhood. No, silly people not the trash, but the smell of honeysuckles. When I was a little girl (under 5) we had honeysuckles in our backyard. I can remember playing on my swing set or in my life size doll house ( yes, this is the doll house my sister tried to set on fire while I was in...blog for another day ) and smelling them as they were growing on the vines against our fence. I would stop playing and go over and pick a few of them and snack on the nectar in them. I will assume since I have made it into my 30's that it wasn't harmful...unless well, maybe I can use that as excuse for some of my blonde moments in life.

I have to say I love moments like this in life where you are in the mist of other things & something takes you back to childhood memories. Maybe as I take the trash out on Tuesday's from now on I will smell the honeysuckles and it will make a nasty chore a little better!

Ok, just for kicks here is what that little honeysuckle eating girl looked like:
