frills of lovely.

i have missed my little blog so much.

2009-12-28T23:15:00.014-06:00

it's been awhile.

to sum it up:

i've missed all of you dearly

and i'm back.

i have a love for wicker anything.

1810 is where i'm at now :)

(this also shows a picture of one of my new friends,

kaitlin. love her to death.. we had a crazy night

that night!)

having a little champagne on christmas eve

at chase's sweet grandma's house.

i had to show off my new frye boots, i got for christmas.

thank youuu mother.

little bella adoring a picture that will soon be hanging

in our kitchen.

at maple with a couple of my girls,

SO glad i got to see them.

awwwe.

hope your holidays were happy and full of spirit!

i got way more than i asked for and i'm so very thankful.

it was the best christmas yet,

everything felt completely right.

i'm so happy to call nashville my home.

*now i'm off to catch up on your blogs before i hit the hay.

xoxoxo.

my lovely weekend went by way too fast, if you ask me.

2009-10-19T22:56:00.024-05:00

my new realllly black hair.
my friend, robert dyed it saturday!
pretty sure i love it.

all of these pictures are really mixed up.
i know it's taking me forever to post lately, but minus the 8 hours a day in school i've been having so much fun lately!

friday night, me & the boy went to my girl ashley's new apartment and had a little double date night which was funnn, except we felt like crap the next day at school. she even rolled into school late hahaha, it was pretty hilarious. saturday night, went to the club play with robert and bonnie then we went to 12th and porter- my new favorite place! didn't get home until like 4 in the morning. sunday me, chase, & bella went to a new park we discovered, had a little picnic, and went on a 10 mile bike ride which felt amazing. today, slept in REALLY late then we went to our favorite mexican place- palmes verdez to eat lunch. after that i met up with my new bestie robert and we went to car dealerships and test drove cars, browsed through the green hills mall, then went to jackson's grill to eat lunch in hillsboro village. he introduced me to my new favorite dessert. it's called chocolate chip cookie dough egg rolls, cookie dough in egg rolls, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. oh my god. it's to die for!

quite an incredible weekend to say the least.

i literally love living in nashville more and more every day.
lots of plans coming up this week. i'll tell you some exciting news later.
can't wait to catch up on reading all of the blog posts i've been missing out on.
xoxo

it really is time for halloween, i keep finding spiders creeping around the apartment... eeeek.

2009-10-14T23:01:00.004-05:00

true story. it's freaking me out a little &

makes me ten times happier to know

we're moving out in just a few more weeks!

nothing new has really been happening lately,

besides we're moving right along in school. a lot

of redken artists have been coming in giving seminars

which have been pretty badass, to say the least.

sleeping as often as i can, re-watching the office season one

just for laughs, talking to my new friends, & trying to spend

as much time as i can with my sweeeet boyfriend.

...i still have no idea what i want

to be for halloween. sigh.

grab yourself a cupcake on your way out :)

so happy it's october, so excited it's fall.

2009-10-07T09:55:00.017-05:00

yesterday, i was head over heels for this weather. during lunch break, a few of us in my class went to panera bread, & i got the pumpkin spice latte (in my opinion, it's better than starbucks!) and a carrot walnut muffin. OMG, best muffin ever. no joke.

then last night while chase & i watched away we go, we made pumpkin sugar cookies. they were more cute than delicious, but it was tasty :)

[[something that sucks though,
the only way to take pictures is through my camera phone because someone (won't mention any names hahaha) lost my camera charger.]]

things i look forward to this month:

#1:

going to a corn maze & a pumpkin patch.

#2:

carving pumpkins!
>*these pictures are from last year*

dressing up for the costume contest at school.

making halloween treats!
& LOTS of pumpkin bread.

watching lots of scary movies
in complete darkness,
with the only light coming from candles that are lit. spooooky, eh?

halloween.
i don't know what the plans are yet
but i'm looking forward to it!

---------------------

what are YOU looking forward to this month?
maybe you have some costume ideas for me?

fill me in.
xoxo!

homesick, a little.

2009-10-01T19:40:00.006-05:00

dear mother,

i admit i am a little homesick.

i reallllllllly do miss you.
alot.
i wish i got to see you more often...

--but i can't wait to see you on sunday! i'm excited.

sending my love, lauren

p.s. will you maybe cook dinner for me? i would love that :)

when i wish upon a star, i wish for this.

2009-09-28T13:09:00.011-05:00

of course, i want the black one.

nicole richie with the red.

lauren conrad with the black.

kirsten dunst also with the red.

in my opinion, this statement is totally true. agree?

(chanel fry box, i'll take a large please... just kidding.)

i love the little chanel tattoo!

But yes, I want the black chanel flap bag. Badly.

I found a bag that looks similar! For now, i'll probably invest in that.

Maybe one day...

Whats your favorite purse at the moment,

or one you wish for?!

can i just say, i really love the weekend?

2009-09-27T19:15:00.010-05:00

double dating/hanging out at my new friend, beth's!

:) he makes me happy.

so glad i got to see my favorite girl, jessica last night! i've missed her so much.

us ladiessss.

@ play (a club) with robert, the only picture we managed

to take the whole time. hahaha.

(he's another new friend, he did my hair- compare the top picture to this one!)

sorry if the picture quality is a little off.

-----

it felt amazing to sleep in today.

the rest of the night,

me and the boyfriend are going to play board games

and bake chocolate chip cookies.

i hope you all had a LOVELY weekend!

[[ fill me in if you want to :) ]]

xoxo

happy girls are the prettiest.

2009-09-24T18:18:00.014-05:00

i agree :)

dear boyfriend, can we maybe...get a new pet?

2009-09-22T21:53:00.020-05:00

i think bella (our puppy) would really like a brother or sister.

maybe if you see this, you'll agree :)

-i couldn't help but post these pictures,
these little furry animals were too cute to pass up.

which little one would you want to take home!?

do you ever just have one of "those" days?

2009-09-21T20:20:00.016-05:00

where you feel like hanging out by yourself all day

just to clear your head, where nothing else feels better but

to lay on the couch all day or sneak away somewhere

...to get away from everyone & everything?

hm yeah, today was one of those days for me.

i hope today wasn't one of those days for you,

i hope you started your week off to a happy start!

((now back to gossip girl. ))

cupcakes galore, for all you lovers out there.

2009-09-20T12:02:00.019-05:00

i guess i see why cupcakes are so popular and

why we love them so much,

1. they're veryyyy cute

2. the perfect size

3. any flavor you want, any design you want

4. taste amazing.

right, am i right?

hope you treated yourself this weekend :)

sorry for being so slowww. [+ KOL video]

2009-09-18T18:11:00.007-05:00

since i've started school, i have been SO busy.

i don't get home until 5'o clock on the days I go,

by the time I get home I have to study for a test,

hangout, or SLEEP.

i'm having a crazy amount of fun at school

though. i've met some really cool people,

and became friends with a few really fast!

thank goodness.

so excuse my lack of blogging,

i'll get back to you soon!

2009-09-15T19:19:00.025-05:00

wildfox couture is where it's at.

not only are the tee shirts/tanks epic as you know what,
they match with practically anything in your closet.

just sayin' <3

good news, gossip girl, vma's, & shopping.

2009-09-14T21:07:00.017-05:00

so i'm sure you guys watched the VMA's last night!

besides all the drama, i thought these 3 ladies

looked gorgeous last night.

katy perry, kristen cavallari, &

i kind of hate to admit this but stephanie pratt, even.

which fashion faves did you all like?

moving on,

gossip girl started tonight. it's the only show i really care to watch,

or save time out of my life to watch so i was pretty stoked

and i have a feeling this season is going to be even better than the last two.

now about me.

my camera isn't working so taking pictures didn't happen.

i had a lovely weekend though with the boyfriend.

today was my last day of freedom.

i start school tomorrow so thats a little exciting!

i found the cutest things at forever 21 today.

3 dresses, two pencil skirts, & a simple black v-neck tee.

grocery shopping took forever,

chase talked like the biggest redneck the entire time just

to drive me mad & it worked. hahahaha.

oh yeah, i cooked fetticine alfredo tonight.

SO many leftovers, all of you that read this should

have came over. seriously.

one more exciting thing i can't stop smiling about....

we're getting the townhome!

now my head is filled with decoration ideas,

wall colors, etc etc.

also,

i adore every single one of you who are beginning to follow me.

i'm delighted to know that any of you are even

the slightest bit interested in my blog.

xoxo!!!

today's going to be a good day, just because.

2009-09-12T08:38:00.011-05:00

good morning!

i'm WIDE awake thanks to the boyfriend waking me up

with a pumpkin spice latte from starbucks before he headed to work.

it was delicious.

i looove seasonal flavored coffees. don't you?

quite a few plans for the rest of the weekend!

i'll be sure to post some pictures.

since i keep playing these songs over & over,

maybe you've heard them.. maybe not.

either way i thought i'd share :)

daydreaming.

2009-09-11T01:32:00.017-05:00

i'm so happy for the weekend.

2009-09-04T20:05:00.015-05:00

hope you have a fun and sexy labor day weekend ;)

what are your plans?

taylor momsen.

2009-09-03T19:44:00.024-05:00

even though she's not my favorite character on

gossip girl, i love her style to death. between

the plaid shirts, leather jackets, layered necklaces

she knows how to work the grunge look and throw

in a pair of chunky heels and the whole look is perfect.

it's crazy to see her go from cindy lou who to this.

she's in a band called the pretty reckless, it's

still pretty underground but if you wanna

taste of it click here

'zombie' is pretty good.

goldilocks in london.

2009-09-02T21:07:00.013-05:00

her songs may not be in your ipod but i've gotta

admit, she can pull almost anything off.

top picture is my favorite.

whaddya think?

p.s. i've been sooo busy lately (reason i haven't

posted much) but i'm having more fun

than i have in a LONG time, every day keeps

getting better & better :)

i hope all of you are doing

w o n d e r f u l.

you're a honey in the sun.

2009-08-29T09:52:00.008-05:00

fun day.

pf changs, then spent time with his family.

'cept this was three days ago!

i'm in alabama right now.

tell ya more about that later :)

bang bang bang.

2009-08-26T01:14:00.003-05:00

here it is.

i walked into a hair salon, the head stylist cuts them. turns out, i went home and did them myself the way I WANTED. for the rest of my days, i'm doing my own bangs because it seems like no one can ever cut them the way i imagine.. even if i bring a picture.

so ladies and gents, when i'm outta cosmetology school (or now)
i will cut your bangs ANY way you like. okay?

sienna miller overload.

2009-08-24T21:07:00.012-05:00

this last picture is a little random but whyyy

leave pretty boy chace out?

even better, i want that leather jacket along

with every other damn thing she's wearing.

mixing it up.

2009-08-23T21:13:00.010-05:00

1. okay i'm sorry if you hate this but i really can't stop playing this song. it's too catchy for it's own good.

2. getting my bangs cut like this tomorrow.

3. this is where i'll be thursday-monday to spend time with my bestie!

4. for my birthday this year, me and chase are staying in this city for the night and i'm going on a huge (i mean HUGE) shopping spree to this store... and he won't tell me the rest of the surprises so now i'm going to be guessing away until november 7.

5. i really do believe that someone i know looks like this when they smile. it freaks me out a tad bit.

6. i don't know what i would do without falling asleep with this playing on my television every night. does anyone say television anymore or do you just say t.v? i think television sounds better. hahaha.

7. i maybe got this, does anyone else have it? let me know.

8. i'm so in love with this jacket, i think i might go coin searching tomorrow to save up.

-------------------

...hope your weekend was lovely.

there is a light that never goes out.

2009-08-21T15:38:00.007-05:00

last night was one of the best nights i've had thus far minus the very last part. best party this summer by far. by farrrr. i must say though, i'm dreading these pictures i'm going to be tagged in on facebook hahaha. i came home and found bella asleep on the hamper in the bathroom... she's seriously not even a foot tall i don't know how the little furball managed that. i'm a little disappointed in one of my so-called friends. thats all i'm going to say about that.

so many plans on the agenda next week, i'm siked.

p.s. all those things i said last night, i didn't mean a word. surprise.

we're gonna have to cross the line..just to find the line.

2009-08-19T18:57:00.007-05:00

i haven't wanted to get out of bed all week.

it's cool to sleep in every now and then but not EVERY day.

today i treated myself and went to forever 21.

got some super cute shit but now i have

$24.00 in my bank account. sweet huh?

hill, i wanna fly to see you! that'd be fun.

i'm about to look up plane tickets now.

going to cookeville tomorrow to see my pretty friends.

marry me?

2009-08-18T20:59:00.003-05:00

not once have i ever really paid attention to him but after watching 17 again, i couldn't get over how effortlessly hot he is. seriously. CALL ME.

hahaha no but really, does he remind you of chace crawford at all?

p.s. that movie was kind of lame. except for him.

to: hillary love: me

2009-08-18T01:57:00.008-05:00

-i miss you terribly and i wish the drive wasn't so far so i could come see you. i'm a little envious of you going to a big university in a different state. i know it would be pointless for me though because of what i want to do. we both have so much to look forward to this year- it's all SO exciting. plus since we're both doing different thiiiings we will have so many stories to tell but i'm so proud of you and that you're out of your mom's hands and you can finally get to be on your own. if you ever get tennessee sick, come visit me. we'll go shopping, out to eat and do whateva we want all day like always. love yewww girl.

can't wait to send snail mail.

summer came like cinnamon.

2009-08-14T23:30:00.002-05:00

after a little bit of orange chicken and rice, we went to border's and i found this.

always running for the thrill of it thrill of it.

2009-08-13T21:57:00.006-05:00

i was just thinking about how excited i am to start school. september 17th couldn't come soon enough.
i can't wait to be a hair stylist/makeup artist. ahhhhh!

i want to travel, travel, travel.

being in the gym two hours a day has been kicking my ass,

can't wait to see the results come my birthday.

i've already lost a few pounds!

i'm in love with trader joe's.

almond butter and vanilla soy milk are my two new favorite loves.

i'm selling my makeup now, have my eboutique all open :)
(if you need some makeup, lemme know)

yesterday, chase and i spent all day in franklin

buying stuff for the apartment. i feel like thats ALL

we have been doing lately but i must say, it's looking

a d o r a b l e.

(i'll post pictures later since most of my girlfrans' haven't seen it)

-- sorry for the random ecstatic rambling, i'm just in one of those moods.

i kinda like those moods though. don't you?

((oh yeah.. and i just spent an hour looking up apartments

in downtown chicago. i like to dream big.))

hello topshop, save these for me please.

2009-08-10T14:25:00.006-05:00

2009-08-08T18:18:00.012-05:00

blowfish sandals on sale at macy's.

cheetah print leggings from express.

zigi shoes from shi.
--------------------------

above are just a few of the cute things my sweet momma bought me today. everything i bought was black (besides the accessories and those cheetah leggings) because once i start cosmetology school in september ALL i can wear is any kind of blackblackblack every single day until i move up to the level where i can wear black and white. isn't that crazy? so all those pretty dark skinny jeans, plaid buttons up, and colorful little dresses i saw, i only got to gaze at and add on to my wishlist... for now anyway. i'm going back soon to get all those things i was eyeing but my mom is incredibly stubborn and she only stuck with the school attire which was okay by me.

can't wait to wear my new shoes! eeeeeeeeek ;)

spotted: jessica szohr

2009-08-07T08:06:00.009-05:00

sienna miller and keira knightley in the edge of love.

2009-08-03T09:56:00.027-05:00

i love the 40's chic in this movie. i'm in love with the floral print, cardigans, and legwarmers underneath the boots. have you seen this movie?

they even pulled it off during the launch and premieres. who am i kidding?

sienna miller always pulls everything off. as you can tell, i love her.

whose style do you like better in general? sienna or keira?

put a smile on your face.

2009-08-02T15:04:00.005-05:00

“ Life is a series of pulls; back and forth.

You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else.

Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t.

You take certain things for granted, even when

you know you should never take anything for granted.

So, what side wins you may ask?

Love wins.

Love always wins."

chaos.

2009-05-11T21:39:00.003-05:00

case of benjamin button and didn't fall asleep until like 5 in the morning we talked so much.

and i've been looking into the sororities there, i'm still unsure.

gotta go though, off to outback with the familia.

2009-05-04T15:32:00.001-05:00

i just got a personal message from kim talon.
it just made my day. literally.

drink up one more time and i'll make you mine.

2009-05-04T15:14:00.003-05:00

i love elliott smith's lyrics. they feel so relatively accurate to parts of my life.

i'm in a music daze lately. i've listened to coast that's closest by eagle and talon probably a million times today. lunch with lacie today, i'm waiting on hillary's big ole butt to get over here! :) gossip girl comes on tonight. what what!???!?

and i got my mom the most epic mother's day gift evah.

love my life.

2009-04-30T20:02:00.002-05:00

i have the sweeeetest boyfriend ever. EVER.
so, i'm laying in bed in the complete darkness from the worst headache
for like... hours. i end up falling asleep and i wake up with him waking
me up giving me the hills season 4, excedrin, and some sugar cookies!

awwhhhh.
i'm about to yank my hair out i miss my friends so much! <3

i'm baaack.

2009-04-29T14:45:00.003-05:00

stayed in cookeville last night at my parents. mike taught me how to make an omelette- don't laugh. out of all the things i can cook, i had no clue how to do that. we're going back this weekend and staying at the lake. mom and me looked up some good jello shot recipes hahaha, i can't believe she's making them.

so ashleigh, cancun is getting closer and closer! can you believe it?! summah is going to be a blaaaast! jessica & lacie, i can't wait to see yo' face in a matter of days. feels like so much begins to go on when the month of may pops up. i love it. i miss the beach.

last night.

2009-04-27T21:52:00.003-05:00

today was good. woke up, layed out by the pool for 3 hours. went out for lunch, saw a movie, went to the outlet mall, came back.. walked around downtown, ended up at noisy oyster. that place was pretty cool then we went to the pier now we're back at the hotel. i'm beat. i feel like i've been gone for so damn long. ten days. i'm going to miss the 85-90 degree weather and beautiful sunshine but... i guess i'll deal. the pools at my apartment should be opening up soon! woohoo. i have so much to talk about but ya know what? i believe i'll make it simple and short by saying, this entire trip has been awesome. (and to all of my besties, i'll fill you in with much finer detail). so so so much fun. i have millions of pictures to upload. anyways: my parents finally got around to buying the boat. thank goodness! i can't wait to stay on it this summer and partaaay. i really miss bella, it has felt so weird not seeing that spastic little furball prancing around and sleeping with me at night. all of my friends looked beautiful at prom! after seeing those pictures really made me realize, i almost wish i wouldn't have went home schooled. i've been to prom before but i missed out on my own prom with the friends i've known all my life. i'm not going to let it bother me though because whats the point? it's over. life goes on, as we say.

i betta get off here though, just thought i'd catch up. i'm going to fall asleep tonight wondering what my graduation gift will be, i get it tomorrow. yayayay.

stopping by.

2009-04-23T22:50:00.003-05:00

tonight is our last night in savannah. we just got back from a haunted tour in a trolley, we visited the sorrel weed house and this cemetary. pretty sweet. we've done far more exciting things but this post is short and all i wanted to say for now was...

ashleigh, glad you two worked it out. i knew it would happen :)
friendship is really one of the most valuable things in life.

welllll, we're waking up bright and early and going to charleston.
be home in 5 days. see yaaaa, wouldn't wanna be yaaaa.

put your heart where your mouth is.

2009-04-18T01:00:00.005-05:00

today: went fishing, it was really the funniest thing ever. chase tried teaching me with this old timey rod and i thought i was doing fairly well until my bait got stuck in a rock. needless to say, i'm really not that bad but i like the other poles better and don't ask me what they are called. puhlease. i went to the tanning bed today and ended up leaving with a spray tan and it doesn't look fake to my surprise. thennn later i turned in my forever 21 application.

so we're leaving tomorrow instead. going to see my dad in georgia for a couple days then it's off to savannah and the hotel smack dab in the middle of downtown by river street, staying there 3 nights. after that, we're going to charleston, staying in another hotel right in downtown for 4 nights.

i can't wait. i wish we could leave right now.

make it hot hot hot.

2009-04-16T18:03:00.002-05:00

i bought wayyy too much today. it was rather overwhelming.

2 pairs of wedges.
2 pairs of sandals.
1 pair of flip flops.
3 belts.
2 bathing suits.
a fedora hat.
pair of earrings.
2 tanktops.
2 pairs of sunglasses.
5 dresses.
a ring.
a purse, which i paid too much for.

last but not least, a blender. finally got one.

whew. we hit up TGIF's on the way out! it was pretty good.
now i'm home and relaxing :)

and p.s. hill, i read your email. i'm not mad at you.

catching up.

2009-04-15T22:09:00.002-05:00

-belmont, university. where i wanna be.
-i love how all my friends are getting a blog.
-i love the champagne chase brought home tonight.

-all of my old friends have came back into my life, i'm loving it.
-leaving for road trip sunday, sooooo siked.
-shopping my ass off tomorrow.
-looking forward to chase taking me fishing hahahaha. i better not touch any worms.

everything is already getting better.

i want some sort of change in my life. it needs m o r e excitement.

2009-04-14T23:08:00.003-05:00

so i'm all about finding good quotes and came across a few good ones. thought i'd share.

“ You know that feeling? That feeling when you just want the right thing to fall into the right place, not only because it’s right, but because it will mean that such a thing is still possible? I want to believe that. ”
— Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist

“ If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise. ”
— Robert Fritz

“ Be not the slave of your own past - plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old. ”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

“ Anything that feels that good couldn’t possibly be bad. There’s something about death that is comforting, the thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now. ”
— Angelina Jolie

there is more to life than simply increasing its speed.

2009-04-13T21:10:00.003-05:00

-i wish we would stop arguing. my head is about to explode.
-i don't get why you tell her you want to hangout when you talk a lot of shit about how i shouldn't, when i've been friends with her for years. don't be two faced.
-i had the weirdest dream about you last night, i wish we still talked as much. you were alot of fun.

anyway,
being at the hospital all day made me realize how easy it is to die and how much harder it is to live. i should stop taking time for granted and spend more time making myself happy!

flower shower.

2009-04-12T21:46:00.010-05:00

what a great weekend.

here's to you, i feel this too.

2009-04-12T02:27:00.004-05:00

i'm beyond happy with my life. it's all falling into place like i've been wanting it to.

i'm ready for the road trip in a couple weeks.
i need sleep. i'm ready to see what will be in my easter basket(s).

i'll post pictures later.
(i decorated hello kitty eggs, they're adorable.)

happy easter.

butterflies.

2009-04-11T01:44:00.006-05:00

i'm so glad it's the weekend and that i get to actually spend more time with chase, he works way too much! thank goodness the internship is almost over with. we laughed at the idiots trying to meet up with him tonight hahahaha. true friends? RIGHT.

i put together his easter basket tonight. gotta admit, it's pretty damn precious.

and for my blogging biatches: jaaade, thanks for catching up gurl. your boytoy better choose you next year over HER, if not don't sweat it! he'll be missing out a foxy lady, unlike HER. i miss you too by the way! this summer, we will be hanging out. guaranteed. as goes for hillary, i'm pretty sure your name is mentioned in every entry but since you wrote such lovely things about me, you oughtta know that you are sooo sweet and the bestest friend ever.

now, for ALL viewers- (don't laugh) i need help figuring out how to sell stuff on ebay! the whole shipping cost thing is really complicated to me.

p.s. hiding in the closet for two hours today by myself was the worst fun i've had in years. as frightened as i was, i enjoyed hearing the rednecks in the apartment above me blaring techno music as loud as possible. yes, rednecks.

you make it hard to breathe.

2009-04-09T01:07:00.002-05:00

the past couple days have been really rad. i've spent way too much money though and spending more tomorrow! ahhh, i'm splurging during the worst times. (cough, recession, cough). i spent 200 dollas sending packages and such in the mail. WTF is wrong with me? i'm way too nice, obviously :) easter is one of my favorite holidays though. searching for an easter dress[+more] tomorrow.

hillary, we need to figure out the trip to alabama and the beach houses or whatever. we are not putting away this plan.

all i can say is... the next few weeks, months... are going to be ki-ki-kickass.
gooooodbye snow, HELLO SUNSHINE.

closing time.

2009-04-05T21:48:00.002-05:00

going back home tomorrow, thankfully. i can only take so much of this place anymore. however! i did get to spend some time with ashleigh, hillary, jess, and lacie. now i'm kicking back watching the acm awards waiting on hill's butt to get over here.

my parents are buying a boat and it's beautiful. it sleeps like four people, there's a little kitchen area and a shower and plenty of room to layout on. it's so friggen' cute! i can't wait til the weather gets warm and STAYS warm.

chase... i kind of miss you :)

ayo.

2009-04-02T22:26:00.003-05:00

i'm in cookeville.

tonight was fun, spent it with the crazy parents at spanky's.
i think we ran into everybody.

i should start my job soon. yay, i'm ready for the paychecks.

i'm back.

2009-04-01T12:17:00.003-05:00

i've been in georgia since thursday and am finally home. i didn't want to leave though. my granny bea passed away this past friday night, i was sitting right next to her when she took her last breath. so much family came in... from alaska, florida, alabama, everywhere. we had get togethers every night at my dad's house. everyone played guitar and sang and had a good time, i miss not being able to be around my crazy family on my daddy's side. the funeral service was really nice and she was buried in a beautiful place too.

other than that, i've just been hanging out since i got home. i've been decorating the apartment alot lately. it's looking goooood! i'll be in cookeville friday until monday, so i'll be gone again.
in two to three weeks, i'll be going back to georgia and we're going to savannah then charleston. yay!

i have alot of pictures i need to print, easter cards and presents that need to be sent, and a miniature scrapbook i need to start on.

off duty.

2009-03-25T01:41:00.002-05:00

i still can't get over the weather. it's keeping me in the best of moods.
today was awesome. it was very relaxing yet bustling at the same time.
if you're searching for a good read, go buy: the time traveler's wife.
you won't want to put it down.

my dear bella got groomed today, she looks so sweet.

hands down. life right now is p e r f e c t.
the only thing i miss are my crazy girlfriends and my parents.
which i'll be seeing verrrry soon!

g'nite.

heartless.

2009-03-24T00:09:00.002-05:00

i slept until 3 something today, so bad. i missed gossip girl tonight sadly, i only saw like ten minutes of it. they had to be drag me out of the house. we went out into towwwwnnnn though, it was fun! during the week seems like such a blur to me sometimes. why do we always look forward to the weekend? why can't the week days be just as fun?

i'm being the biggest bitch ever right now. after such a great night, my mood has turned into a horrible one haha. or it could be my awful sleeping habits.

cancun is so far away but i can already taste the pina coladas!

hillary, we need to study for the act.

zzzz.

2009-03-22T01:51:00.002-05:00

i'm sleepy.

today was too much fun.

everyday i'm hustlin'

2009-03-21T00:08:00.005-05:00

i went shopping again today.

4 dresses, a fringey tanktop, pair of almost famous holey jeans,

a floral skirt, a white scarf, and some prettay jewlery.

tonight was alot of fun. it ended too soon.

i'm ready for the rest of the weekend, especially since it's

sooo sunny outside.

cont'd

2009-03-20T00:12:00.006-05:00

i want everything she's wearing.

main point, these pictures

make me miss my bangs terribly.

it seems this game is simply never-ending.

2009-03-19T13:25:00.004-05:00

i'm watching sabrina the teenage witch on tv (hahaha) and hanson is playing and reminded me that they were my first cassette tape ever. chase surprised me today and showed up for lunch with panera bread. i usually don't see him until like 7 or 8 at night. i know it seems like i'm addicted to tv but i'm really not unless it's like gossip girl, usually i watch it while i'm trying to fall asleep and i don't think there is anything better than nick at nite. roseanne, fresh prince of bel air... i mean seriously? i didn't fall asleep until like 4. pathetic.

natasha richardson passed away yesterday. so so so sad.

they are the cutest couple ever.

----------

urban outfitters is coming to nashville! it's being built in the gulch area downtown and there is also talk of putting an h&m in opry mills. i looooove living here and i'm ready for college.

i had no idea

2009-03-18T01:55:00.003-05:00

about natasha richardson's ski accident. it's so sad and tragic! i know every single word to the Parent Trap, if you haven't heard read it here.

one of my favorite scenes in the movie:

what a cute day i've had.

2009-03-18T01:17:00.002-05:00

chase took me out to this really nice restaurant and then we drove and looked at mansions and ate frozen yogurt :)

i didn't wear green either, like a million people asked me that. good thing they weren't around or i would have been "pinched" too many times to count. finally made a hair appointment, i get it done after taking the ACT (which i haven't even began studying for). oh how i've missed dark hair... especially in the summer. i'm ready to go to cookeville and see all my lovely friends. hillary, you need to get home. i've missed telling you everything wheneva i want. i just found out today my aunt is pregnant! she text me and i flipped. we're praying it will be a girl because after all, i'm the only grandchild thats a girl thus far.

oh yeah so i completely changed my mind about what i want to do in college. i know i know, i change my mind alot (shutup hillary) but really i'm serious this time. i think i've talked about it for like 3 hours tonight. i can't wait!

it's 1:30 in the morn' and i'm still not tired. i need help.

kiss me, i'm irish.

2009-03-17T08:04:00.004-05:00

gossip girl FINALLY came on last night and it always leaves me waiting for more and this picture really has me wondering whats going to happen next week.

happy saint patricks day!

we're celebrating tonight, it should be fun.

now i'm off to workout and go tan.

oh happy day.

2009-03-14T16:28:00.002-05:00

i woke up, got to opry mills at 10'o clock exactly.
i pretty much shopped my heart out, spending $500. tooooo much!
my parents happened to go shopping there today too so we met up and
ate a light lunch at tony roma's or whatever it's called. my salad was dank.
mother bought me a cute tube top and earrings from Guess :)
on my way out, i had to buy the cutest steve madden pumps. yay.

ummm. almost died on the way home. yeah, pretty scary.
now i'm home cozyin' it up on the couch.
after my parents leave dave & busters they're coming over
and then we're going to eat at palmes verdez.
this weekend has been splendid so far!

last night was so much fun. nero's was by far the coolest place ever.
everyone is making fun of what i got though, whats so wrong with ordering
rasberry sorbet surrounded by fruit? nothingthankyouverymuch.
afterwards, we picked up some cheesecake from the cheesecake factory.
came back, watched Fargo. damn good movie.
and we called the courtesy officer and complained about the bullshit going
on upstairs. that was fun.

boy meets girl.

2009-03-13T16:27:00.002-05:00

I can't wait to see this movie! It comes out this summer, July 17th I think.

It's finally Friday! Tonight chase and I are going to Nero's Grill. We've never been so we're excited. This entire weekend is pretty packed with plans. I'll catch up on it later. I'm going shopping tomorrow and believe me i'm going ALL out! :)

"I always tell the girls never take it seriously. If you never take it seriously, you never get hurt. If you never get hurt you always have fun and if you ever get lonely, you just go to the record store and visit your friends." -Almost Famous (Penny Lane aka Kate Hudson)

i love that movie.

something...

2009-03-10T22:24:00.003-05:00

just doesn't feel right.

ugh.

someone text me today i didn't think i would
ever talk to again.

ohohohoh.

2009-03-10T07:05:00.002-05:00

i haven't slept since yesterday at 5 pm when i woke up. i'm really not that tired yet and accomplished quite a bit since then and about to do alot more. what a long day it will be, i'm sure i'll be excited too fall asleep tonight.

p.s. from the looks of it, everyone hates you and i'm enjoying it, like many others. you need a taste of your own medicine. you've turned into a psycho... to say the least.

OH yeah and two of my favorite people in the world should be receieving something in the mail soon! :)

awake.

2009-03-09T18:13:00.002-05:00

we didn't get home until 2 in the morning but the trip was all worth it. as soon as we pulled into the hospice, granny bea was outside in the wheelchair with my uncle and his family. she had no idea i was coming and i definitely surprised her. i hate what she's having to go through. she can't get up on her own, eat, use the bathroom, do anything hardly without having help. when just a year ago she was laughing, cooking, being crazy, driving, she was more normal than an older person. thats how bad cancer can bring you down but she's lived a great life and has alot of loving family to keep her smiling until it's time for her to go.

we had the funniest trip getting down there. first, we left get some gas right down the road from the apartment... chase can't get the gas handle out of his car so he yanks it and gas gets ALL over him. i swear, he was about to get arrested he was so mad. so then, i had to calm him down and we went back so he could change... now on our way to georgia, we pass chattanooga and realize we're hungry. we get off an exit to mcdonalds, his card wouldn't swipe right and they wouldn't take it. THEN we went to hardee's a few exits down... we realize they don't have hashbrowns anymore.. we get back on the interstate and not paying attention we're headed back towards nashville. hahahahaha. we have to drive 8 miles before we turn around and finally back on the right path we found a burger king and said hell with it. we finally got there and had quite a bit of fun! it was an adventure.

my dad showed up at the hospice and we kind of rekindled our relationship. i'm not getting my hopes up though but he gave chase $200 for gas and bought us dinner and to my surprise he was acting really cool. in april, we might be going camping and fly fishing with him. whoo.

well that shortly explains our trip :)

georgia, georgiaaa.

2009-03-07T23:41:00.003-06:00

in about four hours i'll be on the road to vidalia, georgia to see my granny bea in the hospital. i love her dearly, she is an amazing woman and i can't wait any longer... i don't want to be too late.

p.s. thank you chase for offering to drive, you're the best.
and hillary... sorry i went off on you. touchy subject haha. love you.

you have to watch.

2009-03-06T17:33:00.001-06:00

rise and shine...

2009-03-06T09:09:00.003-06:00

i can't believe i've been awake since six. happppy it's the weekend- i hope the weather is pretty. i just found out they make minature bulldogs and it's the cutest thing ever. i think i want one, they are ONLY 3500 dollars.

awwwwww!

almost the weekend, yay.

2009-03-05T18:59:00.002-06:00

first of i will say that i have the sweetest (no joke) boyfriend ever. i woke up and had the looongest adorable email waiting for in my inbox. anyway

i've been feeling so good lately now that i workout and have a little routine in my day.
everyone is about to elope to the beach, i must say... i'm jealous! but shouldn't be because just got the news i might be going to destin in april, and the week after that i'll be in chicago and a few months later me and ashleigh we'll be laying out in cancun drinking our margaritas ;)

i know i talk about it alot. can't help it, i'm exciiiited.
i found a cute hair salon today while i was in dead stop traffic. i think i'll try it out.
speaking of hair cuts, bella has turned into a little furry thing. she needs to get groomed asap!

2009-03-04T13:55:00.006-06:00

ed westwick is g o r g e o u s.

here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and i say its all right.

2009-03-03T01:36:00.006-06:00

this song is an instant replay of last summer.
hillary, i know you remember this song. we tended to sing it everytime we got in the car together hahaha.
i'm sooo ready for sunshine, warm weather, and more epic memories.

two more long weeks until gossip girl.

2009-03-02T14:57:00.003-06:00

i got the cutest workout clothes yesterday! i'm doing an ab class tonight.
all my life consists of these days is: tanning, working out, and hangin' with chase.
i miss my girls sooo much. everyone is going to the beach over spring break, while i decided to save my money and go shopping. (is that possible?)

the bachelor comes on tonight! he better choose melissa. i know i'm lame and watch too much tv.
i have got to make a trip to georgia soon to see my granny bea- i can't be too late.

+ i miss my bangs a little.

it's SO pretty out today!

2009-03-01T14:26:00.007-06:00
