Sometimes I feel like this.....
For the longest time I did NOT know that this song was a Christian song! I love it and I haven't heard it in a long time until today. Oh yes, while driving around with my poor attitude trying to find a job I stumbled upon this song and it totally made my day! I love the little ways God likes to talk to you. Needless to say I danced around in my car and had a ball turning my frown upside down! I hope you enjoy it too! And I hope your Monday was wonderful.
P.S. I'm already SO excited for Christmas!!!!!! I can't stand it!!!!!

Thoughts for your Thursday!
I hope you enjoy! Next Thursday I will probably have real life funnies from my real life friends doing something real life dumb! I love them....
My friends Rachel and Neill are getting married this weekend and the festivities begin today. I can't wait. I can't wait to see my friends and I can't wait to watch two of them on one special day.

Check this out!!!
Hello world! I have a treat for you. My friend Donnally started her own blog and was kind enough to share it with me and I love it and think that as she blogs more you will really appreciate her sense of humor and the wonders of spending her day with 8 and 9 year olds. Not only that but her poetry/writings are very inspiring! She just started so it's early enough to jump on over to her blog and start following her from the beginning! Just click here, Running Stoplights.
Yesterday was a very hard day for me at work. I don't say that very often so that means something. And today will be hard too. My boss will finally be back from her work trip and I will have to tell her when my last day will be. This was my first post college job, so I'm very thankful for her and all she did for me. Now I have more things for you to check out.
Pandora is one of the greatest inventions EVER invented!!! I mean it's great. It's a free service where you can go and make your own radio stations! I have a Garth Brooks station as well as a Reba, cause I need my country fix. I also have a boys II men and Britney Spears. I love it. You can pick a station based on a particular singer or a song and you can add variety. I also have holiday stations so I can always listen to Christmas music ANY time of year!!!!! My friend Jamie will vouch for me. She also loves it and she her blog is uber fun so hop on over and check her out! Jamie's blog.
More fun stuff, my friend Rachel who does pet photography and is AMAZING has fun post where you can win something. You just have to write her a comment answering some fun questions. So while you're hoping to all these other wonderful sites.....stop by hers!

An update on the move. Jake is still waiting for his official start date, which we anticipate to be in May. I will not be going down til June. I'm very excited still, but I haven't cried yet, which only means one thing. I will cry like a baby on the day I get in my car to leave this great state I call home! I really will. I love it and honestly I know that change is good (most the time) and that it must happen to evolve as a person, but I'm a very nostalgic person and I am always sad to see things change, no matter how good the change is. Most people were excited about college, I cried my eyes out while I packed my room up. I moved 2 and 1/2 hours away from some of my closest friends to a place ( from Fayetteville to Little Rock) where I had my two very best friends, my sister and Jake. Yet I cried like I was never going to see these people again. Who knows why God made me this way, but I will cry if I see someone else crying. It's the strangest thing! So.....I'll be sure to let you know of the exact day I'm leaving so I can get some thoughts thrown my way since I'll need them. I hope you are all having a wonderful day.
By the way, why does spell check not recognize the word blog? That's strange.

Random thoughts Friday!
TGIF!!! I'm sure every single person in the world is thankful for Fridays! Even if they don't work......I mean how could you NOT love Fridays. I'm especially excited about today because tonight Jake and I will be going out to eat dinner with our friends Keli and Abram. It's not often that Jake willingly agrees to go out to eat. He is a man who LOVES home cooked meals which means eventually I will have to learn to cook! Having said that, I have made cooking my newest hobby but it's usually 50/50 on the final product! Still learning.
Tomorrow I will be getting up at 7 (yes on a Saturday) to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. I'm excited because I'm going to get to do stuff I probably never in a million year would have. For exampleI will be helping take down siding or maybe it's put up siding. All I know is that is has to do with siding! I'll let you all know how it goes.
I LOVE getting mail, one whole summer between 7th grade and 8th grade, a friend and I didn't call each other on the phone instead we wrote each other letters the WHOLE summer. It was a lot of fun. Too bad the only mail I usually get now is in the form of bills.....YUCK! However, yesterday I got home to see two packages sitting in front of the door. One of them was Jake's birthday present which he wanted early (Watchmen graphic novel). Jake has a love for comics and Star Wars. The other one was my bridesmaid dress for Jamie and Joe's wedding!!!! I was very excited! Having the dresses now for both of my best friends weddings (Rachel and Jamie) makes it all so real AND not so far away. I can't wait!
By the way I called this post random thought Fridaybecause my mind was filled with them and they needed to be let out. So here are some things currently swirling around in my head. I'm thinking about starting a blog that focuses on me getting back in shape/healthy/losing weight, however you want to put it, I would like to find some really good recipes if you know a blog or know of any yourself, I learned yesterday that the average working person is supposed to spend save 75% of each paycheck!!!!!!! And that you are supposed to have enough money in your savings to be able to live off of for 3-6 months. (I need to work on this). I have to figure out a way to get a better sense of fashion! I need a tan. Harli needs a bath. And last but not least........I'm ready for lunch!
Thank you for reading the most random post ever! I appreciate it. I hope your weekend is wonderful!

Crazy 8's
Okay, so I've been reading this book from my very dear friend Joe called "How to live your best life now" by Joel Osteen (?). I decided to read it because for the last few months I haven't exactly been feeling 100% like myself. Okay well if you haven't heard of Joel Osteen, he's a pastor at some huge church in TX. Anyways.....when Joe first gave it to me I thought it was going to be something that I didn't really care for, but I LOVE it. Why? Because it reincorporates positive thinking for me, which I always think I need to be reminded of, BUT it also tells you about how God wants you to have the best things in life, or basically God wants you to be happy. I like it because it's not pushy.......it's just positive. Anyways, I wanted to share something relating to what I read last night.
"When you think positive, excellent thoughts, you will be propelled towards greatness"
Okay my example that I'm about to give you is going to make me sound like a crazy lady. Okay today I was at the bank drive though and I looked around my car and thought of how embarrassed I was at how it's ALWAYS dirty! And worse the bank guy can see every single thing!!! Horrible. So I thought to myself, "When I get a new car, I'll take better care of it". Well it make me think of some of the issues that my book talks about. I will only get better things out of my life if I change my thinking NOW, not when things get "better". Why? Because they won't get better unless I think better of them (or myself or situation). So I decided I was thankful for even having a car and that I would appreciate and cherish it and treat it like it was brand new. So today when I get off work I plan on cleaning it all out and giving it a bath, even if it does rain!
Okay moving on (sorry if that was just completely random, it happens!) Habitat for Humanity finally called back and I get to volunteer with them in March! Very exciting! Also I finally got ALL the bachelorette party invitations mailed out, signed up for my absolute last class, and finally made it to Wal-Mart to buy more candles for the house. Whoa, such impressive things, I know. :)
Now I'm going to steal my school friend Caroline's post and post my list of 8's (*side note: I love Caroline, she's a "school" friend, meaning I we had classes together and such. She was always so nice to me and we always shared a laugh or two!) Check out Caroline's blog....she's absolutely beautiful and one of the nicest persons I've ever met!
My list of 8's:
8 TV shows I watch:
1. Grey Anatomy, (but I'm with Caroline and the rest of the world....it needs to get better SOON or I'm out)
2. Private Practice (it's like my new Grey's)
3. Top Chef (it's over as of last night and I really want Stefan to win)
4. Jon and Kate plus 8 (I seriously can't get enough of them. Those kids are adorable!)
5. The Office (Jake and I record this so we can watch them together, I heart Jim and Pam, but it's Dwight that keeps me coming back!)
6. The Biggest Loser (I know....I blame Michelle, she got me hooked)
7. Hm........I'm running out of shows. Oh! Geez, I'm super ashamed and embarrassed to say. Toddlers and Tiaras. I orignally watched it to see how crazy the moms were, but now I can't stop!!!!!! It's horrible, I know.
8. And I guess anything on HGTV.
Favorite Restaurants (random order):
1. Whoa....this is already hard and it's the first one. Okay The Flying Saucer. We eat there sometimes when we have some good beer!
2. HOME! I've been trying to eat at home as much as possible! Save money and it's better for you!
3. Papa Pablono's (good ole Mena!!)
4. Cruizzer's (spelling? Also Mena!)
5. Suree's (long gone, but lucky for me it was my mom's restaurant so I can still eat some of its goodness)
6. The Italian Couple (Little Rock)
7. FuLin's (that's also one of Jake's favorite places!!)
8. Anywhere with good sushi!
Things that happened to me today:
1. Almost got slammed into by a car that had way too much crap in thier backseat and therefore couldn't see me!
2. Found Megan's check for the beach house.
3. My sister just called me complaining about the color of her new phone (yes, amazingly we're related).
4. Picked up poop on my lunch break (yeah I know, sounds like fun)
5. Went home and make a turkey sandwich and played with puppies
6. Mailed invitation out for bachelorette weekend.
7. Avoided the majority of work I needed to do today........AND
8. Created a Britney Spears station on pandora!!!!
Things I look forward to:
1. 4:45 pm (when I get off work)
2. Getting a big sponsory for the Our House Dinner on the Grounds event! (I believe if I keep at it, it will happen)
3. Rachel's wedding
4. My very first nephew!!!!!!
5. Jamie's wedding
6. Andrea's very first baby!
7. ALWAYS I look forward to Christmas! ALWAYS!
8. My own eventual wedding to my very best friend, Anthony Jacob Phillips! (this could be in like 10 years.)
I could honestly go on with this category for a long time!!
Things I wish for:
1. For me to get all my student loans paid off (I wish the same for all my friends!!!)
2. Happiness for the world (that's my Miss America pagnent answer)
3. A house, one of my very own!! (well I'd share it with Jake of course)
4. To be the best possible person I can be
5. To know what our future holds, meaning to know what's going to happen with Jake and work, are we moving are we not?
6. For healthy babies in 2009 (Andrea and my sister, and anyone else expecting)
7. A better sense of style!!!!!
8. To be in shape like I was when I was a Junior in HS....this will happen, so I guess I should have put it on my Looking forward too list!
Okay so what's your List of 8's. If you post one on your blog, let me know, I'd LOVE to check it out!
