fill in the blank friday!

Hello lovelies!

Hallelujah, it's finally Friday!

And for those of you that are not currently college students, this Friday also brings along the start of one glorious week off of school!

I couldn't be more happy for this break...not because I'm feeling overwhelmed {I'm surprisingly calm right now about how the semester is going}.  I'm really just excited for all the things happening during it!

For one, my dad is coming into town so we can finally go to a UGA home game together.

In all my years at Georgia we have yet to go to a game together, which is a total shame!

But he couldn't have chosen a better one.  It will be exciting to see Georgia clinch the SEC East together and celebrate!

This game will also be my LAST home game as a student.  Where did the time go?!

I also get to spend some time with Kayla and Becca next week.  We haven't all been able to get together since...I don't know...maybe summer?  I can't wait for the much needed girl time!

And let's not forget, Thanksgiving!!

Joe and I are heading down to his parents' house in Peachtree City for some family time, and will also be dropping by my aunt's house for some of her yummy stuffing!

Lots of happenings!

What are you guys planning for Thanksgiving?  Anything fun?

Hope you all enjoy this beautiful fall weekend!

Here are some blanks!

1.   A nervous habit I have is  definitely chewing on my nails...which is really ironic, because nail-biting also happens to be one of my biggest pet peeves.  When I'm really anxious I just can't help it though!

2.   Something that makes me sad is not living near my mom or dad.  We're all currently in different states, and I've been okay with it...but you know.  Sometimes you just want to go home.

3.  Today I am thankful for my friends.  The fact that after 10 years we're still taking time out of our busy lives to have dinner together when possible makes me really happy and grateful to have them.  Also, of course, Joe and the pup.  Having the pup around has really made it feel like we've built a home here in this little apartment!

4. My favorite room in my house is the bedroom.  Lately I haven't been spending a lot of time in there because Joe moved his xbox in there {haha} but it's still my favorite.  When I moved in, I sort of made the bed my own little project/contribution to the place, so of course I made it as cozy as possible.

5.  I can't stand the theme song to Big Bang Theory...or anything about that show in general.  I know that is super random, but this week I keep hearing the song on TV before I can race to the remote and change it and it's driving me nuts!  That is a show I will never be able to get into.

6.  If I had an extra $100 to spend on whatever I wanted today I would use it to start Christmas shopping.  My list of people to buy for is growing and that is not a good thing for a broke college kid like me!

7.  The last person I hung out with was my good friend Stephanie in Athens last weekend!  We set up a makeshift tailgate at a picnic table for the UGA/Auburn game, so I hung out with more people than just her, but I did find myself spending most of my time catching up with her!

my surprise day off

Today, instead of a day full of playing with the kids I nanny and refereeing all of their fights, I was given a surprise day off!

A day that I should have spent preparing for a test I have tomorrow...but alas.

I've been really tired all day...probably having something to do with the fact that the pup woke us up around 5am with a horrible cough that scared the living daylights out of me.

So, instead of studying, me and the pup slept in until around 10:30 {glorious} and then I took him to the vet, where I was informed he has a minor respiratory infection.

:(

Poor thing.

After the visit to the vet, I journeyed down a few exits to visit Joe at work and have a lunch date!

There's this great mexican place we used to go to every weekend when he lived down that way, and we haven't been there probably since he moved around March.

It was delicious, just like I remember!

For the rest of the afternoon, the pup and I have been napping, watching tv, and being lazy, lazy bums.

However, I have been doing a little research online!

I go through these phases where I feel like being really crafty, particularly around the holidays.

Do you guys have any suggestions of fun crafts to make that are Christmas related?

Right now I don't have too many ideas...of course I will be pinteresting for the next hour on this.

But, I just wanted to ask because everyone out there seems to be so creative!

Also, on a side note, I wanted to show you guys these shoes.

They are a little uncomfortable...

...hard to walk in...

...but they are so glittery...

...and pretty!

I haven't been able to bring myself to return them...part of me wants to keep them just because every girl should have a pair of shoes this flashy.

Before I make my decision on their fate, I have to show them off to someone though.

Lucky ya'll!

Look how shiny and pretty!

*sigh*

Hope you all are having a great week.

Happy hump day!

:)

fill in the blank friday...and a new pup!

Hello lovelies!

I don't know about you guys, but all I can say is TGIF!

I am so glad it's the weekend.

In about 20 minutes I have to get ready for work, but I just HAD to stop by and let you all meet my new obsession:

That's right, folks.

Joe and I decided to get a puppy!!

We named him AJ, after AJ Green of course.

For those of you who don't know who that is, he is one of the best football players UGA has ever seen and Joe and I are a little obsessed with him.

Anyway, we got this little guy on Halloween {best Halloween present EVER} and I've been lovin' on him allllll week long.

Seriously.

I even took him to Athens with me because I couldn't stand the thought of him being here alone.

And yes, he may or may not be going to work with me today.

I can't help it, look at that face!

I will share more photos with you soon when I have more time.

But, until then, let's fill in some blanks!

1.   My favorite thing about this week was/is getting the new pup and taking him everywhere I go!  That was a given.

2.   Colder weather makes me really want hot chocolate.  Thankfully, my mom bought me TWO new cookbooks this week, and one contains a Christmas hot chocolate recipe for the CROCK POT.  There is no way it's not gonna taste like heaven.

3.  Three things that make me terribly happy as of late are AJ, Joe, and UGA's football season turning around and getting awesome!

4. If I could only wear one kind of shoe for the rest of my life, I'd choose flip flops.  I have always been a flip flop kinda gal.  When I was little, I was more of a barefoot kinda gal, so I guess that's why I love flip flops so much.

5.  My personality type is more introverted than extroverted.  I do okay in crowds, but I'm still pretty shy.  I've definitely grown to be more extroverted through my college years.  I'm also a big homebody.  Whoever knows me knows this to be very true.

6.  I have a serious problem resisting candy.  I got this cute new festive pumpkin candy bowl for our coffee table and filled it with candy for Halloween, but Joe and I managed to eat it all before Halloween even got here!  So bad.

7.  My favorite color to wear is black, grey, and purple...like dark purple.  Dark colors look the best on me.  In my own opinion anyway.

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

:)
