My first goodbye in Raleigh

There's a sweet, sweet girl that I babysit every other weekend. Her name is Kensleigh, and tonight was my last time babysitting her. It was sad driving away from their home knowing I wouldn't see them again in two weeks. I realize that there are people here that I've become attached to and the Layne family are some of them. Such sweet, funny people with the most darling little girl. It's nice to know that I have people to visit here and that look forward to seeing me again. I think it's finally hit me that yes I'm excited about this change but I will miss people here and I am a bit sad. I'll miss my little Kenie girl.

Short hair rocks my life!

I got my hair cut last Saturday and I LOVE it! Finally an awesome haircut! I'm sure you all remember how traumatized I was after my last haircut. Thankfully Kayla's friend rocked it out and I have a sweet short do. I already made an appt for June...that's right folks I'm coming back to Raleigh to get my hair cut lol! Anyways...I made an attempt @ taking pictures of the back and sides of my head the other day...so here's an idea of what it looks like! :)

Target and the amazing glitter ball!

Jill and I went to Target this evening. I needed some laundry detergent and batteries so we waited until the evening because I didn't want to go out in the heat. It only got up to about 84 today but it feels WAY hotter than that to me. This is why I hate summer, the humidity just makes it unbearable! Anyways...Jill and I are not a good combination when it comes to shopping trips @ Target. We like everything and don't discourage the other from buying frivolous things. We found all the new summer stuff for picnics and what not and just went buck wild! We both got these really cool watter bottle/keg things and I had my camera along so I snapped a shot of all the fun colors!



Then we went to the next isle and Jill found the most amazing glitter bouncy ball. I think when I return my shirt I'm going to buy one! It's clear and has glitter inside and when you bounce it, the glitter spreads throughout the ball and its really fun. So there we were bouncing these balls all over the place and this is the fun shot I got of the glitter ball!




Oh...and I got my hair cut today, I LOVE it, I'll put a pic up soon yay!

Random Acts of Kindness rock!

I stopped by my local Starbucks this morning to pick my roomate and I up some caffinated goodness before I got to work. I pulled up to the drive thru and ordered and then proceeded to the window where you pay. Well I sat there for a couple minutes while the car in front of me got their order. They finish and I pull up...the lady opens the window and says 'your frappicinnos have been payed for' and I said what, why, by who??? She responds...I don't know but I'd be excited, I was blown away and so thankful for someone's kind heart and giving spirit. It really made my day and I intend on doing the same for someone else the next time I go to Starbucks or some fast food joint.

It's awesome how such a small gesture can mean so much to someone. So I challenge you (whoever might actually read this) to do the same for someone else soon. They'll appreciate you even though they have no idea who you are! What a great way to start off a day :)

Colbie...

So...we went to see Colbie Caillat perform tonight. I'll give her this, she definently can sing, but is not a performer in the slightest and her skirt was so short she could barely move on stage. We got to Campbell early and sat in the car, then discovered the long line forming. We got in line and it started to rain so they started covering the stage. Well we waited in line for a good hour and then they finally let us in. We sat down on our blanket and finally after much waiting the show started. But it continued to rain so I tried to use the umbrella without blocking the people behind me. Colbie came out and did a set we weren't impressed. She needs to stick to much smaller venues and wear longer skirts. It's refreshing that she actually sounds like she does on her album but she needs to work on the performance aspect. My favorite part was when Jason Reeves came out and sang 'Droplets' with her. I took a video but it's insanely shakey so I'm not putting it up. Anyways...here are some pictures I took.

Colbie Caillat

Going to see Colbie with Melissa and Jill this evening. I actually saw her last summer with Michelle. She opened for Lifehouse and we had NO idea who she was and then a couple of months later she blew up. This is my favorite song that she does, that's Jason Reeves with her and I think they are in Malibu. The song is called Droplets...enjoy!

Darlington & Denny!!!

I got the best suprise today! I logged into my email on my lunch break. My sister in law Tracy sent me a gchat message and said she'd be going to the race in Darlington and asked if I wanted to go. My brother will get us passes and that means I'll get to be in the pits! So guess what that means folks...there are two drivers I have my eyes on and am going to try and meet/get a picture with. Denny Hamlin as mentioned in a previous post and the scrumptions Kasey Kahne(LOL!!!!)I am so excited and can't wait to spend the day at the track and take some sweet pictures! That was a nice little suprise after my horendus day yesterday!

Still no word on my car...boo on that. Daniel the mechanic said he was the only one in the shop today so he probably just got swamped and I will hopefully hear back from him tomorrow. Pray it up folks that it's not a serious problem!

On a side note, I introduced my roomate Jill to Andy Milonakis. I had her watch a couple videos on you tube and I don't think I've ever seen anyone laugh that hard, it was AWESOME!!! Takes me back to the days when I used to quote it with Mely, ah memories! Anyways I hope these videos make you laugh, they're dumb but they sure are hilarious.



Good night for now!
