Seeing them explain Dollywood on The Bachelorette is pretty priceless.

Happy Memorial Day!

First of all, very thankful and indebted to all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice while serving our nation. Without them our world would be a very different place today.

Of course, I would be dishonest though if I acted like I wasn’t also grateful for an additional day in my weekend.

- Charlotte to spend QT with an old roommate? Awesome.

- US National Whitewater Center? Seriously the most fun I think I have had in a while.

The entire time I was thinking about how soon I could figure out a way to go back. Already plotting which friends would enjoy and how I can tow my brother down there for a day. —And can I please just say, that our raft FLIPPED and I have many cuts, scrapes and bruises for the story, but it was by far one of the scariest, awesome moments of 2012 so far, for me.

- Avengers? All I can say is, finally. Absolutely stupid that it took me so long to see it.

- Shopping? My closet has no need for all of the new swimsuits, underwears, skirts and shorts that were just added to it—but it was another nice way to feel like I was giving summer the green light. 

- Pool? Duh. 

- For the first time in about a month actually feeling ready to tackle the upcoming week? Incredible. My apartment is finally clean. My pantry is about to have food again and there are a lot of plans, friends and good times on the horizon. 

My friends, things are looking good.

Hope everyone else has also had a wonderful weekend!

Perspective check of the day.
Where do I want to go? What do I want to do? I need to put some of this on paper … 
“A goal without out a plan is just a dream.”

Guilty Conscience

I showed zero self control this morning and went straight from the gym to Chick-Fil-A for a biscuit on my way to work. 

But it was so. so. good.

I don’t think I would feel so guilty if I didn’t have the post-biscuit ridiculously over-full feeling! Fingers crossed that my work peeps don’t decide last minute to also have lunch club… .

I am OBSESSED with this song right now. It’s so funny because I’m pretty sure Bridget gave me the CD like 6 months ago. Did I get hooked then? Of course not. Maybe it’s all of the Waynesville time I’ve had lately where I can only feel like I’m pretty much 17 again––but this song just hits the spot. 
Love me some, Eric Church.
