“Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.” -Anthony Robbins

This place is pretty, maybe one day I'll call it Home.

Good Thursday to you all,
   I hope you have all been having a fabulous week. I know I have. For all of us at KDS it has been a much needed fall break. And so far my fall break has been the best. With the rest of the family at home, Momma decided it would be a good time to take a few vacation days while we went on the hunt to find me the perfect college.
Monday we started with Vanderbilt University located in Nashville, TN

Beautiful Campus but not for me. There's more I could say but I'm trying not to talk bad about people, places, things, etc...
 Also on Monday night, I went out with a couple of my best friends. Now that was a blast. We went to see Social Network- very odd movie. Then Sonic- that was fun. Can't wait til we do that again. :)

Tuesday, We headed down to the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, AL.

 And I think I found my future home. Its beautiful! The people were wonderful, the campus great, the dorm rooms were ah-ma-zing! Only down side i found was its hot and humid but since all of Alabama is like that and I've been going to Tuscaloosa since I was 2 it felt like home. Of course that doesnt mean I'm not going look into a few other colleges before I say yes to Roll Tide. :)

Well that's about all the excitement I've had so far. Now I'm on to go clean my room.

And Last Saturday when My Tide lost it Put me in a bad mood...

Happy Sunday ya'll...
  Its been over a month since my last post. Shame shame on me. Anyways. Yesterday Alabama lost :( but its all okay. We'll get them next time. Instead of watching the game though, I went to go see Easy A with good ol' Gladis a.k.a. Mackayla! It was a blast!

Yeah... Also want to give a shout out to my dear blonde friend, Skylar! Skylar wrecked her car last week. She's perfectly ok and even has a new car now but I'm very glad she's ok. She had me and Gladis worrying all day until we heard from her. Anyways, that's all i got to say. Now I'm going shopping for Dedication DAy stuff. Cheers!

"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life."

We went out last night....

So, its been a while... but with school starting back i've been a little bit busy... so recap.
Junior year is slowly starting. I'm so ready for the first football game! :)
Yesterday was so much fun.
Spent all moring washing cars for the dance team. Made a good chunk of change :)
Yesterday afternoon/night was the  best I've had in a long time. I met some great girls and got to celebrate the birthday of the greatest best friend in the world, Macy Michelle! And got to see one of my favorite girls, Shelby :)

So take the Photographs and Still Frames in Your Mind....

The first week of Junior year is offically over. And it was a good week at that. My classes are all great; only down side. Homework. But I guess thats to be excepted with a heavy courseload during this wonderful junior year. Hard to believe in less than 177 school days I will be a senior in the Class of Two Thousand Twelve and in 357 I will be a Graduate of good ol' KDS. But for now I'm just going to let the time pass slowly and enjoy it while it lasts. I'm not going to be one of these rushing out into the world just to look back and realize I've missed some of the best years of my life.

Football season offically started last night with the Blue-White Game. My little brother isn't so little anymore as he played in his first ever game as a 7th grader. Wow. Its scary how fast theses last 2 years have flown and to know these next 2 will be even faster. But now's not the time to worry. Now's the time to live and have fun and makes the memories we'll always remember.

"Quit worrying about the stupid things. You have 4 years to be irresponsible. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time hanging out with your friends. So stay out late, go out on a Tuesday night when you have a paper due, Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink until sunrise. The work never ends school does."

The Art of Being a Southern Belle

Today, I got a new book. A Southern Belle Primer or Why Paris Hilton will never be a Kappa Kappa Gamma. It was quite amazing. It teaches you a few things everyone should know about being a Southern Belle. It really shows you what being a TRUE Southern Belle is.
Some of the things I was reminded of,

1. A Southern Mama, tells you instead of asking if you can.
2. Dressing up is something every Southern Lady should do.
3. Southern Belles are born not made.
4. No matter where you live or however long you've lived there, you are a native of where you were born.
5. "Precious" is the key word when spoken from a Southern Belle's lips. "Nice" well isnt as nice as you'd think.
6. Pearls = Love
7. No matter how old a Southern Belle gets their father is always Daddy.
8. Never wear white shoes before Easter or after Labor Day except is if it is a bride.
9. Never chew gum or smoke on the street.
10. Act helpless and confused when it's to your advantage; never let them know how clever and capable you really are...

There's more I could write but that's all I feel like for now.

"Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It's more than where you're born, it's an idea and state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It's more than loving fried chicken, sweet tea, football, and country music. it's being hospitable, devoted to front porches, magnolias, moon pies and coca-cola... and each other. We don't become Southern - we're born that way."

Thank you for Trying to Back Out on Me and TV Night with my Mother

Good evening all,
  I sit here having just finished my Oreo Brownie Earthquake Blizzard. It was quite amazing.
I had a fabulous day. Spent the morning with some dear friends, Mackayla and Skylar. What would I do without those two? Well my day would be less amusing thats for sure and I'd still be trying to figure out what to do with those tables in my daddy's classroom. Thanks Ladies. :)

I also took my brother to football and back and ate a lovely dinner. Now as it is almost 8 o'clock, I'm getting ready to watch Make It or Break It with my mother. Its easily one of my favorite shows. If you haven't seen it I suggest watching it; Tuesday nights 8p.m Central Time.

Well show's starting. "Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time."- Mark Twain
