Oh Mama!

My mother is one funny lady. Yesterday was no exception. First, we went to church and when we get in the car to go home she asks me if I saw the young man who was sitting in front of her. I told her that I had (Of course I had seen him; he was by himself, no ring on his left finger, cute- how could I not notice?) and then she proceeds to tell me the following: "You know the other night I was thinking and hoping that you would find a nice Catholic boy at church. And here is this guy, you know he said his little prayers and gave his checks during collection. I don't know if he was your type...

5 Things I Can't Live Without....

cRk at Preppy Lane tagged me for 5 things I can't live without. Since I did one for my daily necessities here, I decided to do 5 Things I Can't Live Without on an airplane. 1. Fiji Water Bottle. I get really dehydrated on long plane rides and since they only use those tiny cups on aiplanes I buy a bottle before I board. I love Fiji water since the bottle is always the perfect size for a flight. 2. Ipod Nano. I can't survive without music on a plane so this is essential for me. I'm weird because I will watch the movie that is playing on the plane but usually just listen...

Princess Project

Today I am volunteering for The Princess Project! The Princess Project is a organization that collects formal dresses and provides them free of charge to high-school girls who otherwise cannot afford them. There are different days to volunteer. Today I'm helping with the dress sort which is where we go through the dresses that have been donated and put them on the racks according to size and color. In a few weeks, I will be doing a dress giveaway day. I did this last year and it was so fun. The dress sort is fun since you get to go through all the dresses and see how crazy some of...

Flashback Fridays - Kids Incorporated

I'm linking up for Flashback Fridays up with Beth at Sweet Bef's for Flashback Friday! One of my absolutely favorite tv shows as a kid was Kids Incorporated. If you are not familiar with the show it was this wholesome series about a group of kids who were in a band and performed at The Place. Of course they dealt with the usual kid drama and every issue was solved in the 30 minute program. One of the best things about the show was its theme song. If you didn't figure it out, Stacy Ferguson grew up to be Fergie! The show also produced such stars as Jenniifer Love Hewitt (when she was just...

I'm Playing J.T.

I'm linking up again for What I'm Playing Thursday with Sarah @ Belle in the City! A lot of times, I like to put my ipod nano on shuffle. For some reason I always get a lot of Justin Timberlake songs whenever I put the ipod on shuffle. I really loved his first album (even though I blame him and it for *N SYNC "breaking up"). Here are some of my favorites from his first album... I love the style of this song. I wouldn't mine being his senorita. This is one of my go-to dance songs. It always make me want to get up and move. I love his voice in this song. Its one of my favorite songs...

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Linking up with Jamie at this kind of love once again for What I'm Loving Wednesday. I'm loving the book Pretty in Plaid by Jen Lancaster. I started reading it Sunday night and it is so funny. I love the way she writes because it is very blog-like. I can't wait to read more. I'm loving that Ubertwitter is back now as UberSocial (follow me @jessicasr23). I was not a fan of the Twitter app for Blackberry. Uber is much more user friendly in my opinion. I'm loving the new issue of Allure. It is the magazine's 20th anniversary issue and it is so thick. I'm going to have to spend a couple hours...

High School Rant

The title of the post may be a bit misleading because the rant isn't really about high school but rather people's perception of my high school. For the purposes of this post I will use the following abbreviations: CP = high school I attended and NG/LL = high school of girl in my rant. A local magazine came out with an article today which showed different stats of area high schools and CP did pretty well and I was proud. People in the area always think CP isn't a good school but I think it is. Sure it's a little on the older side and doesn't have modern buildings but it is...

Five Things

Simply Southern Me tagged me for The Five Things You Can't Live Without! Thank you for tagging me! <3 My five things are my blackberry, water bottle, chapstick, sunglasses, and gum. Each is necessary for me. Obviously, my blackberry is my lifeline to connections so I need it. I love these sunglasses I actually have a pair in black and another one in brown. I'm obsessed with pearly white teeth so I will always pop some Trident White gum in after I have coffee or any food or drink that can stain my teeth. If I don't use chapstick my lips get really dry but I'm always losing them....

One down, Eleven to go

One of my new year's goals was to read 12 books this year. If you are a reader (which I am not) this seems very achievable. Since I've probably only read 12 books in the last 4 years, it's quite the feat for me. I picked 12 books so I could read a book a month. I just finished my first book of the year. Two months into the year and one book down. So I am behind on my goal but I'm not going to get discouraged and just keep going. I bought Pretty in Plaid at Target a few weeks ago so I am going to start on that next. It looks like a fun read. It's a memoir written by Jen Lancaster. She has a...

Friday Five

Alex over at Ruffles, Ribbons & Bows, Oh My! (such a cute blog name) is having a new linkup called Friday Five.

I am way behind on my reading. 2. I picked up two new Essie pink polishes.                               I already painted my nails with...

What I'm Playing is Jack

Linking Up for What I'm Playing Thursday. Today I'm playing one of my favorite musicians: Jack Johnson. He's such a cutie, lives in Hawaii, likes to surf, plays the guitar, and cares and the enviroment. What else can you ask for? When I was in Hawaii for work (yes, work) the restaurant/bar in our hotel had this song on loop so you would hear like 4 times in an hour. It always reminds me of the fun we had there. I think this video is so funny with Andy Samberg. Since it's all gloomy and rainy here today, I wanted to see this video since I love the ocean part of it. It looks so beautiful...

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I'm linking up with Jamie @ this kind of love for What I'm Loving Wednesday. I'm loving these espadrilles I got from Land's End. I have been looking for espadrilles that didn't have that high of a heel since I feel I sometimes tower over people even though I'm not super tall. I got them in the mail yesterday and was so happy they fit. They are a wee bit big but I'm going to put in some padding in the back so they won't fall off. I'm loving the Black Team on the Biggest Loser. I like rooting for the underdog I guess. But I was happy for Arthur who had a big weight loss this week...

Feeling Loved and Top 2 Tuesday

While I don't have a boyfriend, I definitely felt the love yesterday. My parents just gave me money which isn't a fun Valentine gift but it's still something. My daddy made us girls (me, my mom, and my sister) a really nice dinner. My sister got me a few things. She got me these cute Valentine light up cups one of Mickey &; Minnie and the other of Snoopy. She also got me a mini-box of chocolates, a necklace from Forever 21, Red & Yellow Tic-Tacs, and the movie When In Rome. It was a pretty low key night and I just enjoyed one of the heart cupcakes I made and watched Greek (I can't believe...
