I had an amazing weekend and already want to go back.
I went to visit my friend, Kent, and we had a great time.
Friday, we spent the day at the zoo...
My favorite animals were the little black bears
and the white alligator.
Friday night, we went to Celebration in the Oaks in City Park.
It was so much fun.
There were lights everywhere.
We rode some rides...
The ferris wheel
the carousel
and all the spinny rides that I'm so shocked didn't make us sick.
We also walked around and ejoyed seeing all of the lights.
Saturday, we went to Kent's work Christmas party.
It was at an Alabama bar in NOLA and it was so much fun.
It was a blast and I am really looking forward to going back for the National Championship game.

{Diet}
I am starting fresh with my Vegetarian diet.
The only meat I ate this past week was pepperoni on my pizza, but a fail is a fail and I am now starting over.
My goal is to go 2 weeks.
I will keep you all posted.
{101 in 1001 Update}
It's been a while since I've updated.
Here goes...
Leave a 100% tip for someone. (1/6)
Kent and I went to lunch today before I flew out and we had the most awesome server ever.
I hope he was happy with his tip.
Pay off credit cards. (2/3)
Visit friends in other states. (3/10)
I also bought the sound track yesterday. Yes, I have been listening to it on repeat.
I think this might be my favorite song, but it might have a little to do with this video that I found on YouTube.
My mom was a little late jumping on the bandwagon so she just finished reading all of the books and watched the first movie.
I am taking the first 3 DVD's home with me for Thanksgiving so mom and I can have a catch up session.
Hopefully we can find the time to go to see Breaking Dawn.
I've been trying to figure out a way to go see it again. #ACCOMPLISHED
{Books}
I finally had time to read and finish this book this weekend.
I literally read all day Saturday.
I loved it, but I cried like a baby.
Coral kept giving me these concerned looks...it was so sweet.
A few of my friends have read the Stephanie Plum series and highly recommended it.
I was able to download the first 9 from my friend's Kindle.
There are 17 available now and the 18th gets released on Tuesday.
Oh my, can we say I will have my hands full over Thanksgiving and Christmas break.
{ChristmasDecor}
I started putting up Christmas stuff this weekend.
I bought a pewter tree from Target and did some whimsical type ornaments.
The pictures really don't do it justice.
I also want to get some more decorations for it, but for now this is what I've got.
{Boots}
I finally got me some new boots. My favorite pair of camel boots got chewed a bit by precious little Coral.
Yes, I was mad at her, but I really needed a new pair anyways.
I love them and I will probably wear them everyday of my life...until Coral gets a hold of them.
{New York}
While getting out Christmas stuff today, we came across all of my sister's Christmas cards from the past years. We saw the idea of making a book out of them for the coffee table.
We were organizing them, and I found my Christmas card from last year.
I had just moved to NEW YORK.
I got to thinking about how much I miss NY.
I love being back in Alabama with my family, but miss having my own place.
I miss all of my friends in NY and I miss the life I had for myself while I was there.
Anyways, I am so thankful for the experience that I had, but I am happy to be back home close to my friends and family.
I will plan a visit, freeze my butt off, and then be so thankful to not live there anymore.
{Happy Mingling}
I know I've shared this before, but it makes me happy so here it is again.
I'm not posting too much info about it on the ole' blog, but I'm filling in for the kindergarten resource teacher in an inclusive setting. I'm super excited and ready to meet the kids and get to know the people I will be working with.
I will be at the same school where my sister in law teaches and where my nephew goes to kindergarten. I dreamed about working as this school for so long so I am stoked.
I'll post again soon, but until then I wanted to share this video that my sister in law shared with me tonight. I love Need To Breathe and this song is amazing. This video is so eye-opening.
I'm thinking that this good looking man is my favorite as of now.
I didn't like when he kissed her on the first episode, but his true colors came out on episode 2. I think he is a genuine guy who is pretty easy on the eyes too.
This guy is one of my faves too.
J.P. is just adorable.
A lot could change throughout the episodes, but I think these are my top two as of now.
{TWO}
My new favorite song.
I love that Ashley and William danced to this song on their date...in the middle of fountains in Vegas. Geeze Lousie, could you ask for a better date.
BTW, I really liked William until he started bragging about his date with Ashley. He just needs to tone it down a bit.

My favorite thing is getting new followers...I finally reached 100!!
