keeping it current

I saw this on Belle in the city's wonderful blog today and I wanted to play along too! John is out shooting guns and "being a man"... so I had time to kill. 

Current Playlist:

I usually listen to satellite radio...so whatever comes on there is my car playlist.  However I am LOOOVING Mr. Blake Shelton's "Honey Bee" song.  So cute and so perfect for the summer time!

Current Nail Polish: 

 Essie "Fiji"... it's my favorite color.  Obsessed.

Current Drink:
Water to stay hydrated on these hot humid days...and Sweet Tea of course.

Current Food:
Almonds for a mid afternoon snack! Yumm

Current TV Show:
Happy Endings (I'm so sad the season finale was last week).  Seriously one of the funniest shows on TV right now.  Well done, ABC.

Current Wishlist:
A 2011 Tahoe... I know, I know... but it's a wish list not a reality list, right?!

Current Needs:
A new hur doo... girlfriend is getting roots like you would not believe...


Current Celebrity Crush:
Bradley Cooper. Duh.

Current Blessing:
With all of the tornadoes and terrible natural disasters going on around the country I am so thankful that my family has always been safe and out of harms way.

Current Outfit:
Nike Shorts and Fraternity tank top.... standard.

Current Excitement:
That it is finally summer!

It's my birthday MONTH!!

Aaaaand we leave for Vegas in less than 3 weeks!
Current Mood:
Happy because John is here!! 

XOXO,

oh happy dayyyy

Can I scream it from the mountain tops?!!

*JOHN IS HEREEEE!!!!*

He came in last night and of course we went fishing :)

We're going to the Oil Man's convention this weekend in Shreveport and because my boo is an up and coming oil man, he's going to be putting his networking skills to the test! I am so proud of him! 

I'm going to keep this post short and sweet, but I wanted to show this video I saw the other day. 

Absolute cutest, most creative, awesome proposal ever.  Love it!

I'm off to my first guitar lesson! I'll let ya'll know how that one goes later on.  Since John is here I'm not making any promises about posting this week... but I'll be better once he leaves!

Ohh happy dayy!

XOXO,

what in the world have I been doing?!

It's been a week since I've posted.

*shocked face*

Shame on me!

At least it's Wednesday so I can link up with Jamie for...

{I'm Loving} that I have temporary custody of my baby boy Cash!!

Cash gets to be a real dog for the next two weeks because his daddy has to go out of town.  Cash usually lives inside of the house with John, but momma won't allow it so... he has to be a real dog and stay outside.  I love to watch him go swimming because he looks so silly and literally dives head first into the water. And then there's this face...

{I'm Loving} that I had the best weekend with my bestest friends! It was too much fun.  You're never not laughing when you're with these people.  It's awesome.  Sunday we laid around by the pool then played Cranium "Couples Edition".  These are my people.

{I'm Loving} that I start guitar lessons tomorrow! I write songs and always have a tune in my head, but I've never been able to actually play my songs! Things are about to change!! I can't wait!!

And as always...

{I'm Loving} my boo!

Play along with me and Leigh Ashley! I love Wee Bit Wednesdays!!

{one} do you believe in ghosts? 

Hmm... no.  But I do think those ghost hunter shows are hilarious.

{two} are you more of a talker or more of a listener? 

Definitely a listener.  I don't really like to hear myself talk. 

{three} would you rather get up early or sleep late? 

Early.  I hate waking up after noon.  I feel like I've wasted an entire day.

{four} if you could instantly become an expert at one type of dance, what type would you choose? 

Hip Hop, the hippi to the hippi to the hip hip hop you don't stop. 

{five} what's your favorite drink?

 Sweet Tea. Duh. 

{six} if your house caught fire and you could only grab three things, what would they be? 

1. I'd grab my family and Oscar! 2.My computer because it has all of my pictures and basically my entire life on it. 3. My phone so I could call 911.  Everything else is replaceable.

{seven} if you could only visit one restaurant for the next five years, which would it be? 

Oh wow... I have noo idea.  Subway? haha next question

{eight} who inspires you the most?

 My momma.  She is definitely the strongest person I know.  She has taught me how to be independent and strong. I don't know who I'd be or what I'd be doing in life without her. 

{nine} if you had your own talk show, who would your first three guests be? 

Carrie Underwood *obsessed with her*, Will Ferrell *funniest man alive*, Gerard Butler *eye candyyy*

{ten} sneakers or sandals?

 Sandals all day every day.  Specifically flippity flops!

Hope ya'll have a grrrrreat day!!

XOXO,

it's wednesdayy!!

Hey ya'll! 

It's Wednesday *my favorite bloggy day* and I'm excited to bring you some link ups!!

Play along with Jamie *you know you want to* for...

{I'm Loving} my new blog design... for the time being! If you read my last post then you know I've been a lot little OCD with it.  I mean, I dreamt about blog designs last night.  Can we say problem? Anyway... I think this one is classy and sassy *just like me*.

{I'm Loving} that I get to see my Memphis people this weekend!! It has been too long and they really are my favorites.  This group is coming along on the Vegas trip in June so this weekend is just the tip of the iceberg of fun that Vegas will be. I'll try to have pics from this weekend to show Monday.  I've become just downright terrible at remembering to take pictures. Imma try to be better!! :)

*precious*

{I'm Loving} Lauren Alaina on American Idol.  I didn't really watch American Idol this year, but I watched it last night and was appalled by country bumpkin Scotty.  I get his appeal to 8 year old girls, but good lord.  He moves his eyebrows so many times during a performance that I thought he was a ventriloquist doll.

And has anyone else noticed his similarity to this guy...

*bless his heart*

If Lauren Alaina doesn't win, this show is rigged!! 

{I'm Loving} working on my fitness!! I am turning my lady lumps into toned muscles and I LOOOVE IT.  Working out is hard and takes effort and motivation...but seriously after the first week of working out, it has become a routine and I am seeing results! 

Yaaaay me!!

And as always...

{I'm Loving} John! I'll get to see him this weekend too :) It's been two weeks ahhhh since I've seen him!! TOO LONG BOO!!

I'm also playing along with Leigh Ashley to bring you...

{one} what’s the worst date you’ve ever been on?I didn't have many dates before John and they were all okay... so I don't really remember! Everything is a blur before John, I didn't live before John... haha {two} if you could be any other person for one day, who would it be?Carrie Underwood, no question.  Dream life.  And her legs?! I would wear Lady Gaga inspired unitards everyday if I had her legs!

{three} what is your favorite kind of cheese?I'm a big fan of all cheese.  I'm not going to discrimi-hate on any of them{four} do you remember your 1st grade teacher?Yes! Mrs. Carhart! She was my favorite!{five} who is the first person you call when you have a bad day?Momma for sure because she's the only one to sympathize then tell me to get over it. {six} were you ever in a school talent show?Was I in a school talent show... only every year since 3rd grade... haha.  I always sang! I have lots of footage for my "E! True Hollywood Story" some day :){seven} who is your favorite fictional character?ohh that's hard because this girl loooves movies and TV.... I think Phil and Cam from Modern Family {eight} can you open your eyes underwater?Yep, but I don't like to because it hurts! Ouch!{nine} do you look at the keyboard when you type?Nope...I just line them up with the little bumps on F and J and off I go!{ten} when was the last time you took a nap?Hmmm... don't remember! That is so sad because I LOVE naps!! I haven't been sleeping good at night tho so I'm trying to stay away from naps...sad day.
I hope you all have an amazing rest of the week! I'm leaving tomorrow morning to meet up with John then head to Memphis!! I hope you all get long weekends and soak up some sun!!Be back Monday for some weekend updates!
XOXO,

new design...

So I'm OCD or just really picky (probably both) but as you can see... I'm trying to update my blog a little bit.  Needless to say that I'm obsessing over it and want to find the perfect layout to use.  I'm still new at blogging so I don't want to buy a layout just yet... maybe when I reach a milestone in followers or something, who knows.  I was wondering if any of you know of any great sites that have fee layouts or just have any tips at all?! I keep looking at all of the super cute blogs out there and mine was just not cutting it.

Thanks for being patient with me and my unruly blog design... if you stop by and my page looks all kinds of messed up, know that I'm in the middle of switching it up a little bit!!

XOXO,

weekend recap

Hey ya'll! 

Its Monday which isn't so bad since school is OVER so let me tell ya what went down in Sarah's world this weekend.

Friday night I went to bed mentally prepared to wake up early Saturday to go to my gyms version of "P90X".  Unfortunately, yeah right I woke up so sore from my Friday workout that I could barely lift my arms.  I mean at one point in the day I sneezed and thought I was going to die.  Needless to say, big girl didn't make it to the gym Saturday.  Good thing I've got the 30 Day Shred goin on so I could get in a little work out from home!

Saturday *with all of my soreness* the family and I made our way down to Oil City, LA for Gusher Days. 

The cutest little girl I know was in the parade for winning a pageant!

*I would adopt this child*

Keely Mae is the most polite and sweetest girl I have ever met.  Her momma and daddy did a great job with this one :) I asked her if we could get a picture and she said "yes ma'am"... Only in the south ya'll.  I love it and I love her!

So while we were waiting for the parade to start, we took a little stroll down main street where Gusher Days was held.  

Only in Louisiana, ya'll.  And if you can't read the smaller sign we've got Gator, Shrimp, and Sausage on a stick, Curly Fries.... and last but certainly not least, a "Beer Battered Deep Fried Honey Bun".  I gained 10lbs just typing all of that.  

Now, I'll have to say the people of Oil City, while I'm sure are very very nice, are a breed all in themselves.  Now I know the Lord above is the only one who can judge, but ya'll... when teeth start becoming an accessory and jorts and wife beaters are your "sunday's best"...we've got a serious problemo.

 Winner, Winner, Chicken on a stick dinner. 

Stay classy, Oil City.

Saturday night we went home and tried to do some fishing but a MONSOON came on down so we didn't get to catch anything.  Good thing we've had some fish saved up for a yummmmmmy fish fry!

*Yesterday's catch is todays dinner!!* 

Yesterday we did nothing but fish.  I'm becoming a regular 'ol redneck.

It was really hot and because the sun was setting, I got a really cute tan on one side of my body... real cute.

Oscar got too hot and had to go under the picnic table to recover... so pitiful.

Today I got up and went and worked out and then came home and did pretty much nothing all day.  No complaints.  I'm getting my training assessment tomorrow morning which I'm kind of nervous about.  I admittedly do not have the greatest self confidence in the world and if tooth pick trainer tells me I'm crazy out of shape I may fall in the floor and cry.  I'll let ya know how that one goes...

Momma and I are also "gonna venture to the big 'ol city to do a lil shoppin" *did you get that country accent in there? :)* I'm excited about this because I'm going to Memphis this weekend with John and desperately need a new outfit :)

I hope ya'll had a great Monday! 

XOXO,

GTKY

Hey ya'll!

I hope you have all had just as a relaxing weekend as I have!

I'll give a weekend recap post tomorrow, but for now I wanted to play along with Mannland5 for this weeks edition of

1. what's your favorite rainy day activity?

Sleep, watch movies, sleep, cuddle on the couch, sleep...

2. what time do you go to bed?

Well I "go" to bed around 10 but I actually fall asleep around midnight if i'm lucky. Insomnia and I have become bffs as of late :(

3. how many magazines do you subscribe to?

I don't subscribe to any, but I only pick up the most intelligent and thought provoking mags from the grocery store.  My favs are Cosmo, USweekly, People... you get the idea 

4. did you sell all your belongings because you thought the world was ending yesterday?

Absolutely not.  And lord bless the hearts of those people who did.

5. what's your beauty obssesion?

Hmmm... not huge on the beauty products, but I'm just gonna be general and say moisturizer and lotion.  Girlfriend can't be ashy...especially during shorts and tank top season!

6. if you could only wear one designer/brand for the rest of your life...what would it be?

Well...this is hard because I don't really shop by brand, just by what I think looks cute so at this moment I'm gonna have to say Forever21...but then I'd look pretty ridiculous as an 85 year old wearing Forever.

7. what's your summer must have?

A tan... and sweet tea, of course!

8. do you make weekly dinner menus?

I don't even make weekly dinner...haha.  Huge no on this one.  It would be pretty typical of me to plan something like this out and then not want to eat any of it on the scheduled day. Maybe in the future when I have a family I'll be more organized and less picky.

XOXO,
