Who doesn't love the Beatles? My sweet Jordan for our first official date gave up his birthday present and asked his parents to get him tickets to the show Rain because he knew how much I loved the Beatles. HOW PRECIOUS IS THAT! For those of you who enjoy the Beatles and have yet to see Rain, you should. Rain is a Beatles tribute band. They have everything down to the haircuts, costumes, and head bops. Yes, I said head bops...there is actual footage playing in the background and if you look closely you will see they have studied their every move...its crazy!</div>

1. Boyfriend is on the mound in his tight baseball pants</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. It is a live event</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. I can throw a party and socialize while the game is on instead of watching it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. If TN, Detroit, Browns, or any other team I've become a fan of for Jordan is playing...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just need the score at the end thanks ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jordan is a HUGE sports fan, I'm pretty sure he would know the proper terminology for Jousting! We spent ohhh about 15min Saturday night teaching me football...he was appalled when he said ok you see the quarter back? I replied (w/ no sarcasm) No... He instantly said what?! Then gave me a football lesson.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm getting better, I think?</div>

It is a beautiful world that God has created for us to live in...unfortunately it can also be a scary world at times. As women it is important for us to be aware and know how to protect ourselves in any situation. I've taken one self defense class in my life and I actually learned quite a bit and would love to attend more...as a refresher, can never hurt right.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/197264711_XTjcBycY_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/197264711_XTjcBycY_c.jpg" width="205" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/197264711/"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(1)</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I learned</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Be aware of your surroundings. Look behind you, always keep one eye open.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. If you are out and about, always look like you aren't distracted or over whelemed by the amount of bags you are carying.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Get in your car and go. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't balance your check book, send a text message, listen to a voicemail...just go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Keep your blinds closed at night. People will try to learn your schedule.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. A well lit house is a safe(er) house</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Friendliness goes a long way</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Law enforcement pepper spray is better than the kind you can find at CVS. I have the Fox Brand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. I also learned how to get out of a position if someone has me pinned to the ground...I can't remember how to though...eeek</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.wellandgoodnyc.com/2011/09/21/8-smart-safe-tips-for-self-defense/">Here</a> is an article from Well + Good- 8 Smart Tips for Self Defense</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Self Defense Tips:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Stay alert. Be aware of people near you and of your surroundings—in
your home, on the street, at work, at school, and other places you
frequent.<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. If you think you are being followed, try changing your
pace or crossing the street. Do not lead a potential attacker to your
home. Instead go to a store or another populated place.<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. You can
choose to ignore or respond to a verbal harasser, depending on your
comfort level. In either case, remain aware of the person or group. Take
into account your potential allies in the vicinity, the environment
(any safer places?), and your ability to physically defend yourself.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are attacked</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Stay active and keep thinking, “What can I do?”<br /> 2. Yell and make a
scene—attackers often expect us to be silent. Use a loud voice to draw
attention and to let the attacker know you will not be an easy target.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Strike for the eyes, nose, throat, knees, groin—all attackers have vulnerable places on their bodies.<br /> 4. Use things you have with you (keys, pens, bags) or things you can pick up (garbage, rocks) as weapons or shields.<br /> 5. As soon as the opportunity arises, get away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have any of you taken a self defense class? What did you learn?</div>

Yowza kids take a look at this article I found courtesy of <a href="http://popsugar.com/">PopSugar.com</a>! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gaining and losing weight is really about math. In order to lose a
pound, you must burn or cut out 3,500 calories per week (500 calories a
day). Unfortunately on the other side of the equation, if you
consistently overeat an extra 500 calories each day . . . well . . .
that's how you end up not fitting into your pants. Calories add up, and
here is a simple breakdown to illustrate how easy it can be to eat an
extra 500 calories in one day. Do this over the course of seven days,
and you're bound to see the scale jump up one pound. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Breakfast</b>
</div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li>One half and half container in your cup of coffee (<a href="http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calories-in-cream-half-half_f-ZmlkPTY4MzM0.html" target="_blank">20 calories</a>): The same amount of <a href="http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calories-in-milk-flavored-milk-cow-fat-free-skim_f-ZmlkPTY4NzE0.html" target="_blank">skim milk is only six calories</a>. </li>
<li>One small bite of a Krispy Kreme Glazed Doughnut (<a href="http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calories-in-donuts-glazed-original_f-ZmlkPTY0ODQ2.html" target="_blank">47 calories</a>):
Thanks to your boss for bringing in a box to share, and I know they
melt in your mouth, but had you known that little bite was almost 50
calories, you may have passed. </li>
</ul>
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Total Extra Breakfast Calories: 67</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Lunch</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li>A 12-ounce bottle of Izze Clementine (<a href="http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calories-in-fruit-vegetable-juices-sparkling-juice-clementine_f-ZmlkPTEyNTcyNw.html" target="_blank">133 calories</a>): Sure, it's sparkling juice, but it contains almost as many calories as a Coke.</li>
<li>Half a tablespoon of chipotle aioli (flavored mayonnaise) on your sandwich (<a href="http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calories-in-spreads-organic-aioli-smokey-chipotle_f-ZmlkPTEwMzM5NA.html" target="_blank">40 calories</a>): It adds tons of flavor, but a crazy amount of calories too. </li>
<li>Half a cereal bar (<a href="http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calories-in-breakfast-bars-cereal-bar-multigrain-triple-berry_f-ZmlkPTk1NjUy.html" target="_blank">75 calories</a>):
Your toddler didn't want it so you polished it off in one bite. Next
time you might want to store it in a baggie for your little one for
later.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Total Extra Lunch Calories: 248</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm just getting started, so keep reading to find out how little
bites throughout the rest of your day can tack on an extra 200 calories.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Dinner</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li>A bite of your hubby's cheeseburger (<a href="http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calories-in-stadium-foods-cheeseburger_f-ZmlkPTExMjcyMg.html" target="_blank">56 calories</a>): You just couldn't resist taking a juicy chomp — who knew it was over 50 calories? </li>
<li>Five garlic croutons on your salad (<a href="http://www.fitsugar.com/Nutritional-Information-Salad-Toppings-7598444">50 calories</a>): A fresh salad is a super healthy meal; it's the toppings that add on the calories. </li>
<li>A few french fries dipped in ketchup (<a href="http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/nutrition-calories/food/mcdonalds/french-fries-medium-french-fries/" target="_blank">48 calories</a>): Instead of ordering a side of fries with your meal, you stole some off your hubby's plate. A few fries definitely add up. </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Total Extra Dinner Calories: 154</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Dessert</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li>Two Hershey's Kisses (<a href="http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calories-in-chocolate-kisses-milk-original_f-ZmlkPTE0Njg2Mw.html" target="_blank">44 calories</a>): This calorie amount is much less than a bowl of ice cream, but definitely adds calories to your day.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Total Calories: 44</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, those small bites of foods really do add up. If you eat extras
like this all week long, you might find your jeans feeling a bit snug.
Now if you're trying to slim down, you can see how cutting simple things
out of your daily diet can help you drop a pound in a week and help you
reach your weight loss goal. </div>

He loved it and I loved sharing it with him:) What are some of your favorite childhood memories? Or what are things you didn't get to experience and can't wait to give the opportunity to your own kids or what the heck be like Jordan and experience as an adult!</div>

Before I started my current job, I was a full-time nanny for a precious little sweet pea. From the time she was 2months old to 1 and a half. I helped her start crawling, kissed her boo boos, rubbed her little leg after pokies (aka shots), cried with her when I couldn't get her to stop crying, helped her learn how to count to 10, and watched endless episodes of Dora the Explorer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was my precious Lou Lee (what I called her). I was able to visit sweet baby girl the other day, my grandmother and I met Lou Lee, her mom and dad for lunch. We Lou Lee walked in I was not surprised to see what I saw. Little miss 3 year old diva walked in with sun glasses, a flower dress, fancy shoes, 3 bracelets on each arm, a necklace, a big flower head band, and a pink sequin puppy purse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

She was always very shy around people, she liked to check them out and see if they were ok peeps. I was so nervous after not seeing her for a year that's how she would be be with me. She was timid for a second and then she remembered right away :)</div>

Dear Opera Lady, you may think you have a beautiful voice, but I promise no one wants to hear you sing as you shower in the locker room and then put on your lotion</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure why I haven't in the past, but I've finally started entering blog giveaways, I mean I have just as good of a chance of winning as the people who have won right!?<br />
<br />
A girl was running on the treadmill in front of me earlier this week. As I'm rockin out to Girl Talk I all of a sudden hear clapping. I look in front of me and see her clapping and cheering herself on. Her clapping then starts to motivate me and I start going harder. As she's getting closer to the finish she starts throwing her hands up and then once she's finished she claps and gives herself a pat on the back! I wanted to start clapping of her and yell out "you go girl!" I have seen this woman kicking her booty to get healthy and in shape, girl has lost at least 20pounds since I've started seeing her. I think we should all physically cheer ourselves on everyday!<br />

Kim K's black and white theme was neat, however I may have done black, white, and silver...guests can wear either black or silver. Bridesmaids, MOBs, and guests in white? I don't think so!</div><br />

We passed something ( I can't remember what exactly) and he said "oh that would be perfect for a man cave". I obviously retorted back with...uhhh well where is my woman cave? He then replied...what even goes in a woman cave? I explained...oh a nice cozy place to read, my private masseuse, sauna, fire place, TV, lots of pillows, fancy lounge clothes, lots of snacks and fancy water. He said that would sound really expensive..I said so what ;)<br />

I think us girls are entitled to a woman sanctuary, what about you :)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">But then....BANG BOOM BAM! Thunder decided to come in and ruin everything last night, thanks thunder. Take thunder and throw in a REALLY bad dream where a guy named the almond killer? was going around kidnapping people, oh and guess who he got in my dream?

I love it! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is an article that I just finished that can help us all ;)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/70374416_CLV9BuIu_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/70374416_CLV9BuIu_c.jpg" width="261" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/70374416/"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Pintrest</span></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bettyconfidential.com/ar/ld/a/5-foods-that-fight-pms.html">5 Foods that Fight PMS </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Click link above to read the full article</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">PMS is largely caused (and exacerbated) by a deficiency of vitamins and minerals in the body, so it can be remedied by eating properly. In addition to getting plenty of sleep and exercise, these natural PMS-fighting foods will help you kick your PMS to the curb:</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>1. Magnesium</b><br />
Studies have shown that women experiencing excessive PMS symptoms often have a deficiency of the mineral magnesium in their bodies. Eating foods high in magnesium helps to fight bloating by keeping water retention to a minimum. Plus, magnesium works to regulate your serotonin and hormone levels, which stabilizes your mood and can help keep the PMS blues (and mood swings) at bay. To get your daily dose, try pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, and cashews.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>2. Calcium</b><br />
Studies have also shown that getting plenty of calcium has beneficial affects on a woman’s menstrual cycle. Getting your daily allotment of calcium can decrease bloating, cramps, irritability and mood swings. Try incorporating more low-fat dairy into your diet with yogurt or cottage cheese. For those who are lactose intolerant, almonds and salmon are also great sources of calcium. But, be careful not to overdo it with the dairy—too much calcium can actually hinder the body’s ability to absorb magnesium.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>3. Vitamins A, B6 and E</b><br />
These essential vitamins are super troopers when it comes to fighting a variety of PMS symptoms. When you’re about to get your period and feeling less than stellar, increasing your intake of vitamin B6 -- it's one of the most surefire ways to alleviate a number of symptoms. Vitamin B6, is necessary to regulate the body’s estrogen levels because it reduces blood estrogen and increases testosterone (too much estrogen causes mood swings, anxiety and an inability to focus). B6 also plays a crucial role in increasing the effectiveness of magnesium, so it also helps with bloating and muscle aches. To make sure you’re getting enough B6, take a B complex supplement and add B6-rich foods such as bananas, spinach, potatoes (with the skins on), bell peppers and whole grains. Vitamins A and E are not only <a href="http://www.bettyconfidential.com/ar/ld/a/top-10-foods-to-eat-for-healthy-glowing-skin.html">awesome for your complexion</a>, they also help battle PMS by decreasing irritability and alleviating breast tenderness.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids</b><br />
These healthy fats have been shown to reduce cramping caused by menstruation, and generally aid in lessening PMS symptoms, especially when combined with vitamin E. Salmon, tuna, olive oil, flaxseeds, walnuts and soybeans are all excellent sources of omega-3. </div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>5. Manganese</b><br />
Found in pineapple, brown rice and spinach, this mineral<b> </b>has been shown to<b> </b>increase mood and decrease water retention.</div><div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Now that you know the foods that help PMS, make sure to <b>steer clear</b> of these PMS-boosters that will only make you more bloated, crampy and moody. Ick!</div><div style="padding-left: 30px;"><br />
</div><div style="padding-left: 30px;">-Skip the soda and coffee! <b>Caffeine </b>can increase bloating, worsen skin problems, and contribute to anxiety and irritability. And, unsurprisingly, it doesn’t help with premenstrual insomnia either.</div><div style="padding-left: 30px;"><br />
</div><div style="padding-left: 30px;"><b>-Salt </b>also contributes greatly to water retention and can dehydrate the skin, causing breakouts. </div><div style="padding-left: 30px;"><br />
</div><div style="padding-left: 30px;">-Stay away from the sweets! <b>Sugar </b>depletes those valuable B vitamins and can contribute to moodiness.</div><div style="padding-left: 30px;"><br />
</div><div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">I wouldn't say I get PMS...ok, others might beg to differ haha. </div><div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">I do however eat like my stomach is the Marry Poppins bag and crave sweets like no other! </div><div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;"><u>Did anyone else read this in the article?</u></div><div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">"Stay away from the sweets! <b> </b></div><div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;"><b>Sugar </b>depletes those valuable B vitamins and can contribute to moodiness."</div><div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;"><br />

I know you are!!!<br />
<br />
I regretfully have to say I am one of the fans that haven't read the books, however thoroughly enjoy the movies! The first book, <u>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone </u>came out when I was 10 years old. My friend at the time was reading it, I tried...but couldn't quite fathom passing up my copy of the book Clueless (yes I had the actual book Clueless, it was pretty much word for word the movie) for a 500 page book about wizards (give or take). A few years later <b>BAM</b> Harry Potter started spreading like wild fire! I currently have 5 books in line that I need to finish reading. My sisters happen to have every single book, hard and soft copies it seems like...so when I finally the books on my list I'm going to read the Harry Potter books. Some of my friends who aren't book readers don't understand...if something was a book before it was a movie, I feel it is quite sinful to not read the actual book ;)</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">If any of you lovelies out there are planning to go see the premier at midnight, or are like my sisters and are heading to the movies for a double feature the 1st part of the Deathly Hallows plays and then right after the 2nd, I have a little Harry Potter cocktail for you. I'm sure all you Potter fans know about Butterbeer!</div><br />

That's it, I'm putting my foot down! All last week I woke up late, because I didn't hear my alarm go off. I am a phone alarm user, it sits right next to my bed, on my night stand, with the volume turned all the way up to where the residents in the nursing home across the street could hear it! But do I wake up? nooooo. Now normally if I know I have to get up, I don't really fall into a deep deep sleep (maybe that's why I'm always so tired), because I'm always nervous I'll miss my alarm.<br />
<br />
Well all last week 1 of 3 things kept happening...<br />
1. I kept hearing my alarm go off but I'd accidently hit dismiss instead of snooze<br />
2. I'd hit snooze, then when my 2nd alarm would go off I'd hit dismiss but not wake up<br />
or<br />
3. I'd hit dismiss say ok Brittney lay here for 2min then you have to get up! I'd do that then 30min later, I wake up in sheer panic because I have fallen back to sleep!<br />
<br />
So last night, again I set 3 different alarms. 1 for 5:20, 5:25, and 5:30. that way I figure if I hit snooze or dismiss on an accident, not big deal another alarm will go off in 5min. I'm not sure what happened last night...because I got nada. Either those 3 alarms never went off or I was in a state of an oblivion and managed to dismiss all of them! I didn't wake up until 6:17...I walk out the door between 6:45-6:50!<br />
<br />
Today I take a stand for no more panic wake ups. After work, I'm buying a regular alarm clock!<br />
<br />
Or perhaps this is what I should label my alarms...<br />

<br />
Awesome<br />
I haven't seen my handsome boyfriend since my birthday, that was Memorial Day weekend people! I finally get to see him tomorrow!<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure we will have a half day tomorrow ;) all of our managers are out of the office tomorrow except one, and she's taking a half day<br />
<br />
Mani and Pedi appointment after work, I'm thinking something festive for my piggies<br />
<br />
Yesterday was the first session of my first Beth Moore Bible Study.<br />
<br />
We did a squat challenge in the bootcamp class I do m-f. It was my first challenge and I got to 21...which means I did somewhere between 200-230 squats! I kept up with pretty much everyone in the class! I was pretty proud for my first squat challenge :)<br />
<br />
I babysat my sweet cousins last Friday...Twin 2 year old boys and a 4month old, precious but a handfull <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">My Awesomes weigh out my Awkwards! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Either that means next week will be a doosey or this weekend will be jam packed</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I just recently got my hair done and my fabulous hair dresser used some of her new products on me. </div><div style="text-align: center;">May I introduce <a href="http://www.moroccanoil.com/">MoroccanOil</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It smells amazing, works amazing, and is moderately priced. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Is it $5.99 for sea salt spray? </div><div style="text-align: center;">No, but you won't be skipping a meal to pay for it either.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are the products that she used on me :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Loved loved the Glimmer Shine Spray and hair spray...The shine spray actually worked for 1. I've bought shine spray before and nada.

However, the Queen of Soul suffered a minor setback in her Dallas hotel suite when she accidently stumbled over a pile of her own fancy footwear. Her left foot landed atop the spike heel of her Jimmy Choo, which wrapped around her left index toe, which she said "hurt like heck for a minute but seemed to subside."</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Read the full story from the <a href="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2011/06/aretha-franklin-breaks-toe-laments-impact-on-fashion/1?csp=34life&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+usatoday-LifeTopStories+%28Life+-+Top+Stories%29&utm_content=Google+Reader">USA Today</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have many stories like this, here is just one, you'll be sure to laugh your choo's off...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">About a month ago I was in spinning class and my pants got wrapped around the pedeal. We were sprinting while standing up so you can imagine how tight that sucker was wound. Just as I started to hear my ankle crack, I was finally able to brace myself with the opposite leg (later I found out there is an emergency break). After one of the trainers finally cut me loose (yes he turned on the lights, thankfully I was in the back and made them turn them back off immediatly once I was free) he explained that in his 15 years he had never seen such a thing happen. I was bruised and swollen for a week, luckily nothing was broken. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If anyone wants to sell that story to a tabloid, I will willingly let them </div><div style="text-align: center;">so long as they promise to share the profits with me. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I promise they will go to a good cause ie: car payment, insurance, new contacts, and school bills.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Have any of you had any moments like this? I know the Queen of Soul and I can't be the only ones ;)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

The Ugly Mugg still has my heart though ;) Anywho...I'm skipping church today to plan for BONNAROO!!!!(eekkk, not too happy about it, but that's ok I'll watch the podcast later :) <br />
<br />
We leave Wednesday at 3am! and will be there until Sunday. I am sooo excited but nervous at the same time. What if I get there and hate it! That is a long time to be stuck in 90+ degree weather, on a 700 acre farm, with music that plays pretty much 24/7. And let me tell you that heat in TN is tough. When it's hot, it's hot. Bright side is my family is an hour and a half away. So there is an escape route. Kind of lol I may have to leave my car there until Sunday. <br />
<br />
