"Its a Good Mornin' Beautiful Day..."
WOOOOW...
Two entries in one day... now that's true blogging at its finest!
Just thought I would write about my relatively boring day.
Went to work... did some stuff... Kell came by. He got a shirt and we chatted for a bit. Did some more stuff. I got to play with Guys Underwear all day how fun is that?!? HAHA. There was a good crew there today too... so that made it even more fun. Lots of new people coming in... its kinda strange but they all seem to be really nice so far. :-D
So I was fixin to leave and me and Trent were discussing my most recent purchase lol (which ill probably end up taking back cause it was kinda a waste of money)... and someone came up behind me and pretty much covered my head with what I was holding and I turn around and there is none other than Mr. Jonathan Musick himself. He looked good too... I was very proud of his fashion choices! :-) So him and I had a nice little chat about the random facts of life and then I drove him to his car cause he had to meet Christie somewhere. Very good to see him... kinda strange to be honest with you... but still very nice!
Then it was back to the house... I changed and headed down to the high school. Parked in the back... ran to the middle school... then around the neighborhood across the street once... and then back to the track. Did some strides... then CAME HOME!!
Life is kinda boring at this exact moment in time but that's probably a good thing considering I have to go to work AGAIN in the morning. But then I'm off for 3 WHOLE DAYS!!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!
I'm so excited about going to the lake... it should be a barrel of fun! :-D
Let me try to find some meaningful lyrics for the moment....
Every Moment
-Joy Williams-
We laughed out loud til we cried
And the tears were sweet
Midnight melted to morning
A moment faded to memory
All these days just slip away through our fingers
So... Don't let go
Hold onto every moment
Always know
Hold on to every moment that You can
We move on with no regrets to our destiny
Held by the hands of the Father
We share His love and He leads us through
All these days
Cause they slip away through our fingers
So...
So... Don't let go
Hold onto every moment
Always know
Hold on to every moment that You can
Running through yesterday into tomorrow
Don't let it just drift away
Forget about tying the hands of time
Give every minute to the One who's given today
So... Don't let go
Hold onto every moment
Always know
Hold on to every moment that You can
I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOVE THAT SONG!! I swear if could sing like her... wow...
ANYWHO... Guess its time for me to get off of here and take a SHOWER!! Always one of the brighter parts of my day.
Sometimes letting go can be one of the hardest things to do... so if its worth it and your not hurting yourself... hold on and don't let go no matter how much everyone tells you you should! Only you can decide what's worth giving up and whats not...
In Faith, Love, and Confidence:

Why Do I Do This To Myself???
OOOOOKKKKK...
Here we go! Let's see how much boring stuff I can type about before I got to work here in an hour or so...
GO...
Well...
FRIDAY was a REALLY good day!! Right KAY?!? I pretty much spent the whole day with Kayla which was definitely refreshing considering we haven't gotten to hang out all that much lately.
So I went to work to pick up our checks, to Goody's where Kay got a really cute bathing suit!, we went to BOTH malls lol, to Sonic where Kayla bought me lunch cause she's the bestest friend in the WHOLE WORLD! Then I GOT MY HAIR CUT!!! And o was in MUCH needed!! Rory cut about three inches of DEAD hair off... It's quite a bit healthier now than it was before... then we stopped by Wal-Mart and Target. Michael met us there and we drove BACK to the mall to pick him out a shirt and tie for graduation... that was fun. We were GONNA swim but I said NAH cause I REALLY REALLY need to lose the weight I've gained since I've been home!! NAD WAS THERE!! Which was totally awesome cause I haden't seen that kid in forever... So since we decided NOT so swim... we went to Wal-Mart AGAIN... Got some random stuff then went to McDonald's on Merchants AGAIN (we parked there when we went to the bank earlier in the day...) SO it was a day of DOUBLES! It was rather humerous. But I got a Fruit and Walnut salad thing which was actually surprisingly yummy!
After that it was back home for some sleep...
Got up SATURDAY and went to graduation... well got lost going to graduation lol. I got there eventually and sat with Josh and Chad... "He's the stupidest kid in the world!" (or something like that) <-- JOSH SAID SOMETHING MEAN ABOUT SOMEONE!! lol It was great. So while we were sitting there watch eveyone walk across the stage (A BIG CONGRATS TO CLASS OF 05 BTW!) we came up with the brilliant plan to go see STAR WARS III that night! So Chad went home and FANDANGOed us some tickets! :-D
After the ceremony I chatted with some people for a little while. FINALLY go to talk to JBUS which was absolutely wonderful. I LOVE YOU!!! You are awesome and I can't wait to see more of you when we GO BACK TO SCHOOL!! (Cause we're SOOO GOIN!) :-) I didn't get to see a lot of people though cause I had to leave ASAP to get to the Colissium for West's (aka Mark's) Graduation. So I get there... and well... to make a long story short I called Mark and He's like "its at 2" KEEP IN MIND HE TOLD ME FOR LIKE 2 WEEKS THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE AT 12!!! Yes... i was highly perturbed! BUT.... I calmed down and drove over to his house instead and gave him his nice card and presents i made him ;-). He told me I was the biggest dork in the world... but that's ok cause I know he liked em whether he wants to admit it or not! So we decided that I just wouldn't to go his GRAD cause I told Kay I would go out to eat with her and her fam at 2.
So yah... did that. We went to MIYABI's (sp??) Where I haven't been since I was really young so that was intersting. A LOT Of her family was there so we were rather crowded but it was still very fun. After eating we drove over to Micheal's were we... (K, MICH, MART, SAM, JEFF, CHERISH, MAX,) SWAM FOR LIKE 4 HOURS!! It was G-REAT!! We played racing games and slid on the slide and played chicken (until Kayla started fighting dirty and then we quit... lol) and one of the best games of pool basketball I've ever played in MY LIFE!! lol It was LOTS OF FUN... even though we were all almost drowned atleast once and Martha made me bleed! haha fun times...
So Mrs. Willis ordered us some pizza (ME AND MARTHA GOT CHEESE AND PINAPPLE... YUM!!)... then I left to go take a shower and meet the guys at West Town. The movie was actually A LOT better than I was expecting. I'm sure if i was a SW freak I would have enjoyed it more... but it kinda makes me wanna atleast watch the second one (i know... im a loser and I havent even seen it) But Chad and Josh were there to give me a COMPLETE run down of what was going on before we went into the theatre. I HAD TO PEE THE WHOLE TIME THOUGH!!! And I know you all wanted to know that but it was all Chad's fault lol.... o well... THANKS FOR LETTING ME GO WITH YOU GUYS I HAD LOTS OF FUN!!! :-D I don't think I could even get enough of hanging out with you two! Ok... moving on...
So Sunday I woke up and went down to the high school... (after three days off it was about time I went running!) So I did about three miles and I was gonna do more but I decided to go home and go to church instead. My little cousin became a member of the church so that was exciting! I think I'm gonna atleast try to start going on Sunday mornings to the college sunday school cause I'll still be able to get to work afterwards. :-) So after church I came home and my mom, dad, Austin, and I went up to the lake. I drove the Jet Ski around for a little while... took Austin and his friend for a few rides then I went back to the camper and pretty much just sat there while my parents worked on the deck and stuff... yah... it was pretty boring... but what can ya do?!?
So I came home... changed... went and did about another 3 miles on the greenway... came home... ate and went to bed.
Had to be at work at 7:15 which wasn't really all that fun... but you gotta do what you gotta do. We went to Fulton (where my momma graduated from) So I took a little trip to the library and looked up all her old pictures lol. It was fun...
We shot about 50 kids... it was busy... but not TOO busy. Got about 11 hours so I guess I can't complain too much.
Then I came home... changed... called Billy and we were OFF. We parked in the back and ran to the middle school and decided to run to his house for change. After a VERY breif water break we ran around Broadachres for a little while then got back out on the greenway and went back to the school. I BELIEVE it was prob about 4 miles (MAYBE a little more... not sure though). Then we did some strides on the track which made me REALLY tired so we called it a night.
Wow... I'm sure you all want to know all of this... NOT... but o well... continuing.
Me and Billy decided we wanted to get up at 7 on Tuesday morning to go run... yah... we're crazy! haha But we did... and it was fun... did about 3 miles I do believe...
Then it was OFF TO WORK... went back to Fulton... had a VERY BORING DAY... it was tear down though... so it got tiring. Ended up with about 10 hours.
I got home in time to change and meet Chad at his house. We were goin to his church (Wallace Memorial) for their college Bible study but we were early so we stopped at Sonic! I got a powerade Slush and it was VERY DELICIOUS! :-D We saw Alex in the parking lot... yah... that was funny... then it was off to church.
COURTNEY WOOLARD GOT HER LISCENSE!!! Everyone should be extremely excited for her! haha. I saw Scottie Shoe too! That was awesome... always good to see him. Saw some other random folks too that I hadn't seen in a while so all in all it was a good night. Lucas (their college leader) seems really cool too and his message was really good! As we left (at about 10:30) the only thing I could think was... dang I have to be at work in 6 hours!!
So I got home ASAP did my quiet time and WENT TO BED!! I got about 4 hours of sleep and then I was UP...
Had to be at work at 4:30 in the morning (yes... that's right... as in almost 2 hours before the sun even thinks about coming up!) We drove out to Tellico Plains. I WORKED WITH KAYLA AND ASHLEY... so we had a pretty good day filled with Peanut Butter and Honey!! LoL... I'm such a bad kid! lol ANYWHO... so long story short we had a 16 hour day!!!! So that means im already at 37 hours for the week and I still have to work Alcoa on Friday... OVERTIME HERE I COME!! :-D
So I came home and I was EXHAUSTED... me and K were gonna run but she wimped out on me! So I watched the FINAL EPISODE of American Idol! GO CARRIE! woohoo... And FINALLY went to go see KELL! LoL Poor kids been here for almost 2 weeks and we both work so much we haven't even gotten a chance to hang out. So we sat and watched some basketball and had some nice chats...
Billy called and we decided we would get up and run again this morning. We met at about 7... did about 3 miles... talked about random stuff and then I came home to take a shower.
I thought I was going to have to go to work at 9:30 today but I checked on my on call and she decided I didn't need to come in till 1:45. 1:45-5:15... what a pointless waste of my time!!! But o well... I still get my discount! lol
So since I had a little extra time on my hands and I was already ready I stopped by the bank and went down to Runner's Market to register for the EXPO 5k on Saturday. Billy and Katie are gonna run it too so this should be intersting. I GOT NEW INSOLES!!!! HECK YES!! They cost be 27 friggin' bucks but I'm sure they'll be worth it!
So I'm going to head to work here in about 30 minutes. Don't realy know what's gonna go down after that. Me and Billy MIGHT run again... but he might be going to SunDown ;-) lol I may go run by myself though if nothing else presents itself. I really wanna go WORK OUT.. I miss the rec center so much!!!!!! Wow... I never thought I would say that... but I really do!
WELL... TOMORROW... I think i have to be at work at 8 or something like that... should be a pretty average day... tear down... but it shouldn't be too bad. I might run... might not... depends on if I think i need the day off before the race.
SATURDAY....
RUNNING! woohoo It should definitely be interesting to try and run 3.2 at race pace. I haven't decided if I really wanna work myself or just run it for fun... cause I'll decide on the starting line. lol Anyone who would like to join us can register from 6:30-7:30 that morning... and its somwhere around the Colissium (I'm sure you won't be able to miss it!). THEN...
ITS OFF TO THE LAKE!!! Right now its Me, Michael, Kayla, Sam, Martha, Jessie, and I invited Billy and Katie but I'm not sure about them yet. Needless to say it should be a REALLY fun day!! I'm extremely PUMPED! :-D I need to get my tan back dang it!
Well I guess that's it for now... sorry I don't really have any deep words of wisdom or anything today... just the same boring old stuff!
Life is going surprisingly well though... So I can't really complain.
"If booty were a drug..." (I can't remember the rest!!) lol Help me out Chad!
EVERYONE GET OFF YOUR COMPUTERS AND HAVE A GREAT SUMMER AFTERNOON!!!
Much Love to my Hos, Bros, and Foes!

These boots were made for walkin'...
well I was gonna update but I got distracted by some friendly IMs that I felt were a little more important than informing the blog world of my boring life!!
Lots of fun stuff to talk about... Definitely a GREAT weekend!! But I guess that will have to wait.
I'll be pushing (and hopefully going over) 40 hours at Lifetouch this week plus a shift at AE so yah... busy busy busy.
Gettin' up at 7 to go run... let the craziness continue!
Hope everyone is having a good night!
Always remember Summer Lovin' isn't always what its cracked up to be... but some times it can be lots of fun! Be careful... with your bodies and your hearts!
Much Love from the Home Front!
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over YOU!....
NIGHT!

Right Billy??
So yah... def need to start watching what I eat. Just cause I'm home and running DOES NOT give me an excuse to eat whatever I want! Hopefully.... I'll be able to stick to my plan. I doubt it... but maybe!
So where to begin?? Life has been surprisingly busy lately... and surprisingly pleasant as well.
Guess I can start with Tuesday. I had the day off so I woke up kinda early (to a nice little text message from Billy telling me he couldn't walk... muahaha! ;-) ), took a shower, dropped off some film at Wal-Mart (and I bought the new Fall Out Boy CD WOOHOO!!!), went by AE to exchange some shorts, went by Old Navy to BUY some shorts, then back to the house to get ready for the track meet. Kraig came by to pick me up and we WERE OFF to Oak Ridge to watch the wonderful Region meet. Definitely a GREAT day to sit and watch a track meet but I would have died if I had to run (just a little to hot for my taste!)... Here's some pictures courtasy of a Ms. Katie Sprinkle and her digital camera! THANKS KT!
There's me and Lins! I'm sure I was crushing her little body! :-D
Our School Record breaking 4x8 team minus Jamie of course! Aka Terra me and Lindsey!
There's us helping Lindsey stretch... yes we were very aware that we looked like retards but o well!! I miss seeing those girls everday so much! :-(
THERE'S ME AND TIM!!!! Me and that kid are gonna go out on a date one day!! Right Tim?!? WAFFLE HOUSE?!?! haha I miss him too! :-(
And there's the beauties of the Powell High track team! haha Stacey and Katie! Gotta love em!
And there is the wonderful Lindsey Haas after placing 4th in the WHOLE REGION in the 800 with her best time ever!! (2:25) As well as Coach Revere who for was genuinely happy with her performance! SHE DID AWESOME!!! We were so proud of her!
And last but not least... there is me and Katie!! Me and her should be seeing quite a bit of each other this summer cause WE WILL RUN!!! Hallridge here we come! Right KT?!?
So yes... that was a very good day... lots of fun in the sun and what not. So I drove home... changed... and met Billy at the high school.
Much to his dismay I might add lol. He didn't really wanna go... but I told him to come down and atleast run the greenway once with me so he did. We ran one together... he left... then I ran it once by myself and then did some strides on the track.
Then it was home for some grub... and off to bed.
Had to be at the office at 6:15 on Wenesday morning... fun... not...
So we went to Sevier Co. for the last day... man was it BUSY!!! We shot about 62 kids I think! Crazy stuff... and it was a tear down day so needless to say I had about a 13 hour day! Can't complain I guess... I'm fighting for hours at AE but I get 22 hours in 2 days at Lifetouch lol.
So I came home... and I was gonna run but I was SUPER tired so I chilled at home with the family instead. At about 10:30 Terra and DHall drove by my house so I went out to say HI and decided to go with them to THE RUSH to work out! We did legs and arms and Abs and then I ALMOST beat Terra in SLAM BALL BABY!!! I didn't... but I was close! lol Me and Terra had some good girl talk and the *NSYNC "Tearin' Up My Heart" video came on!!! I can still remember the FIRST time I saw that video. Tracy and Heather had spent the night and we came up from the basement and we heard it coming from the TV in my parents room and we all FREAKED OUT and jumped on their water bed to watch it!! O it was crazy fun times! :-D
ANY WHO...
So we were there till about midnight or so... the dropped me off and it was off to bed cause me and Billy decided we were gonna run in the MORNING this morning... yah...
So I woke up about 8:30 or so... got ready... called Billy... and headed down good ol Emory Road. Parked across the street from the high school cause poor kids had to take their finals today! Sucks fo you all... but its over now so you can officially be excited! :-D
So we ran the greenway once... then decided to switch it up and run in the neighborhood across from the high school (the circle in it is about a mile). Billy drove it later and said we ran about 4.2 miles which isn't too bad at all. I definitely need to start increasing my millage though! There's a 5k next weekend... not quite sure where it is but I was thinkin about seeing if KT wanted to run it with me before I head up to the lake for the day! :-D (which I am extremely PUMPED about btw)
I came home and I was just gonna sit around and wash my car (cause I was supposed to work but Kelly called and said they cut my shift)... BUT she called back right when I got home and asked me to come in... so of course I never turn down work! woohoo... right... So i woked for about 5 hours... came home... ate... and took a nap!
I was gonna go out with Terra tonight... but my nap ended up lasting a little longer than I thought it was going to so I was out! Found out EVERONE AND THEIR SISTER IS PREGNANT THESE DAYS!!! I mean... don't get me wrong... babies are a beautiful and wonderful creation and a big CONGRATS to all of those who get to bring new life into this world but DANG... I'm just too young to have friends with kids! But o well... as long as its not me... I suppose.
Wow... Jon just IMed me. Definitely haven't talked to that kid in... o... 2 months or so!! He said he came by the store today to say Hi and to do a little shopping (i was already off though)... cause he definitely left all his shorts in BRASIL! He's back and safe so Amen for that! He went to Brasil for a while with his church for a mission trip... he really seems to have been touched by it so I am extremely happy for him!!! He said he's goin to Equador over spring break and Brasil again in the summer so everyone keep him in your prayers. I can really see God doing great things with his life... :-D
blackmagik38: imagine a rose in your hand with your arm extended..
blackmagik38: ...your hand is God...the rose represents all worldly things and distractions...
blackmagik38: the rose slowly comes up inbetween you and God. You start to loose focus on God and focus on that pretty rose coming between you and God. Over time the pedals will wither, fall off, and the rose will die...
blackmagik38: the rose gave a temporary happiness that eventually went away...but your hand is still there...
blackmagik38: the worldly distractions we allow will come and go and where our focus needs to be is on God and his will
DEFINITELY a good way of looking at things... kinda scary because of the truth behind it...
I'm gonna be honest though... I'm pretty jealous. Not of HIM really... just of his experiences. Of anyone who has had an experience like that. I read about people that go on gut wrenching mission trips... talk to friends who have had those experiences. But I've never experienced it for myself. I often feel like I need a MAJOR wake-up call when it comes to my life and the way I'm chosing to live it.
Well... tomorrow is yet another day in the life I suppose. I don't have to work so that is wonderful! Kell called and asked if I wanted to go out to eat or something.
It's SOOO weird... for some reason... I just don't really wanna date right now. Not that he's not a great guy... But ANY guy... not to sound conceited AT ALL... but I've had a few guys asking me out lately and stuff.. but I just don't FEEL like it for some reason. Maybe its cause I don't want the pressure of dressing up and eating properly, maybe its cause I know some of them just aren't the right "type" of guy for me, or maybe its cause I feel like there are more important things in my life right now... like God, My Girls, Running, Working... in that order... lol. WHO KNOWS!
Maybe its just something I shouldn't worry about right now... I've never been too good at rejecting people though... actually i've never been ANY good at rejecting people.
Well with that I'm going to go...
Maybe I'll get up and run in the morning... it would be good for me. GOTTA GET SOME NEW SHOES AND INSOLES BEFORE MY LEGS FALL OFF!!
Out For Now
Always remember God's foolishness is wiser than man's wisdom!
Goonight
