What I'm Loving Wednesday...

Hey y'all....sorry I have been M-I-A for a few days.  I had a super busy Sunday that led over into the work week. Whew...so glad today is Wednesday!  Today is just a random mish-mash of what I'm loving....and...some of what I am not! :)

 

What I am loving...

That one of my dear friends from SC is coming for a visit and will be here tomorrow evening! WHOOP WHOOP

 

That the above statement means.....tomorrow is my "Friday"!!!!

 

Labor Day! (Thank the Lord for Federal Holidays that lead to....really long weekends!)

 

Wal-Dryl Anti-Itch Cream.... (you will understand later in this post)

 

The Hunger Games DVD!.... I may have been a dork...and spent my evening last night just watching the special features... Don't Judge! :)

 

That my I can finally see the top of my desk at work.... operation get crap done and organized underway!

 

Two Words....Michael Phelps! mmmm ;)

 

 

 

 

The following are things that I'm not so fond of....ie... things that really bug the crap out of me!

 

These little nasty bugs called chiggers or also know to some down south in the Pee Dee as Red Bugs!  Let me tell you... we have a HATE-HATE relationship and it never seems to end.  Amy goes outside near any tall grass...Amy ends up with Chiggers...its a never ending cycle and it SUCKS!  And lucky me my job requires me to spend a pretty good amount of time trapezing around this stuff called Prairie Grass...and you know what else lives in this there...TICKS...both of these nasty little creatures are like tiny kamikaze attackers!  Needless to say I will have my tube of Wal-Dryl nearby to keep the incessant itching at bay.  OK I'm stepping off my soap box now! :)

 

When the house you are renting is for sale.... :( 

 

This Drought!!!

 

 

 Well that's about all I have in me for today! I hope you didn't mind the randomness! 

 

 

It's football season....

Football season is here...high school football started last night and junior colleges start today! I'm headed up north towards the Nebraska line to watch one my my younger cousins debut in his first College football game! I'm pretty excited :). GO GREYHOUNDS!

Next Saturday you will find me camped out in front of my television as my Clemson Tigers take the field for the first game of the season!!!! Whoop Whoop! Unfortunately...I won't make it to Death Valley this season...but I will be there in spirit! BRING.IT.AUBURN! :)

Finally Friday Brain Dump....

 First off a BIG Thank You to Annabelle over at...

 

Annabelle gave me some Blog love today on several different levels! I must say I feel important and special...and who are we kidding what girl doesn't like to feel that way! Annabelle just happens to be my lovely cousin and I am SOOOOO thankful that she knows so much about all things blogging so that she can help me figure this mess out! Because who am I kidding...I know absolutely NOTHING about HTML, ABC, 123 or any of these other acronyms that seem like a foreign language to me. :)  So... Annabelle... LOVE YOU... and thank you in advance for all the millions of questions you will be answering in the near future.  ;)

 

On to more randomness...

 

Today happens to be the Birthday of my BEST FRIEND in the whole wide world!!!  Although our paths in life over the past 4 years haven't allowed us to live in the same state  and currently a 17 hour drive and many Diet Pepsi's separate us... our friendship is as strong as ever : )  If figure if you can survive being roommates and sharing a bathroom for 3 years while in college and still remain the best of friends....its probably  a friendship of a lifetime that many only wish they could have!  I have soo many memories of the past 9 years.....

-Reese Puffs before school

-Gilmore Girls

-Fish Water Mac and Cheese

-Ridin Dirty

-When I think about cheating

-I'm a Dork fish

-But that wont stop the bullets

-Chubs and Peggy

-Early Morning Dairy Chores

-N11D

-Ma'am it appears someone broke the door handle and trashed one of the rooms

-Countless hours at the library

-Stationed by the...

-Everything I touch...turns to gold

and many many many more memories!

 (Only she will really understand these)

 

 I'm so proud of what she has accomplished in the past 4 years.  So now I'm going to brag a little LOT!!!  She is a recent graduate of Veterinary School, and is practicing Equine Medicine in North Carolina!  Whoop Whoop...all that work finally paid off :) 

 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRAND!  

Love ya!

 

Its...."OK"....Thursday! :)

Its Thursday y'all!!!  And you know what that means....one day closer to FRIDAY!!!

Today I am linking up with Amber @ Brunch With Amber

ITS OK....

To be completely addicted to sweet tea. At least its better than the hard stuff! :)

To be treat your dog like child, talk to them like they will answer and use their full name when they are in trouble!

Run the dryer for an extra 30 minutes hour because you don't feel like folding clothes.

To dread Mondays with every fiber of your being.

To shed your work clothes immediately when returning home, for something comfy.

To un-tuck the corners of the flat sheet on ANY bed you sleep in...because you cant stand your feet feeling bound.

and lastly....

To be the QUEEN of Procrastination, why worry with it now when you can do it tomorrow! :)

Side Note- Happy Birthday to My AMAZING Mother!  You are the best mom anyone could ask for and I am so blessed that God choose me to be your child! :) You are my constant rock...my shoulder to cry on...my biggest fan and my loudest cheerleader! Even when you say black and I say white...when you say no and I say yes...I Love You! Thank you for making me the person I am today! I Love You To The Moon And Back!!!

 

Oh, How Pinteresting!

Happy Wednesday Y'all...only two days until the weekend!!!! :)

 

Today im linking up with Michelle from The Vintage Apple

Sundays....

Sundays are the hardest....

Sundays are the day I miss my family the most....

Sundays back home are spent....

• attending church
• eating lunch at my Memas with my whole extended family
• hanging out afterwards visiting with cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents

Mema and Papa with all the grand kids! :)

Me with my parents and brother!

Cant leave out my Sis In-Law or niece!  



Sundays...are the hardest....Sundays make me homesick....Sundays make me feel like I am missing sooo much!

~Sweet Dreams of Carolina..... Amy





Ehmmm...testing...

Testing...testing...

Hello blogger world....my name is Amy and this is my sad attempt at jumping into the blogosphere...so please bear with me.  As this will be a pretty steep learning curve for me! :) 

So just a little introduction, as I mentioned I am Amy.  I am originally from the slow speaking, sweet tea drinking, boiled peanut eating land of the south! I recently moved to the mid-west for my job and decided to start this blog to keep in touch with people back home...but really just to document my journey of moving clear across the country!  If you asked anyone 5 years ago where I would be after graduating from college...most all of my friends would have said she will move back home, and teach.  But boy did God have some surprises for me!  I ended up moving 3.5 hours away from home to work for an agency that was a far cry from teaching high school agriculture (which had been my plan for oh...only the past 4 years!)  :)  So... here I am beginning the 4th year of my "professional career" (that sounds so weird)....living in a town approximately 16 hours away from home! Wow...that still blows my mind.  Although I am enjoying the current season of my life...I am usually always "Gone to Carolina in My Mind"!!!!

 Anyway, more on that later!  

I am going to attempt to post some pictures that will give you an idea of who I am and what I am all about... (maybe...if I can figure it out!)

 The south is a place that gets in your blood and stays forever! :)

Enough said..... :)

 One of the biggest reasons my heart, soul and mind is constantly on Carolina!  My niece Ella Grace!

Well that's enough for tonight...more on the rest of the family later!


Going to bed now... I hope my randomness didn't bore you!


~Sweet dreams of Carolina.....Amy :)
