Bullets & Pictures!

As you can tell..I FAIL at keeping up the blogging habit, yet I faithfully read everyone elses blog. (Kinda makes me sound like a creeper doesn't it?..whoops!)  My blog title sounds like a Country song to me! LOL
Anyways..I've been in just one of those down moods lately so I'm sticking to random bullets this time!

• I'm moving back to Fort Smith. Its a sore subject with me. I should be glad that I will be moving near my family..but hello..theres a BIG difference between being near them and actually living with them. I will not have my own kitchen or bathroom. I'm being pretty selfish I know. 
• I'm also not going to be working at Target anymore. No more cool co-workers, fun atmosphere, and actually enjoying being "Fast, Fun, & Friendly" I'm also pretty upset about looking for a new job. I've applied at one place which I would LOVE to work at because even though I'm not in school studying to be a Social Worker anymore it would still be in Social Work environment and I think that rocks! 
• I am really really going to miss Tulsa. I'm not going to have my best friend with me, I'm not going to have the chance to just randomly drive around town and explore new restaurants and sites, I'm not going to have my own apartment, or Timmy's State Fare..which by the way is the best biscuit gravy meal EVER! 
• My friend Joe is a Marine and is stationed at Camp Pendleton and is going back over to Afghanistan..but good news is his plane landed in Tulsa so I got to go out to dinner with him and the family last night! Luckily I'll be moved back to The Fort before he gets deployed in a few weeks so I will get to see him again soon! 
• I introduced Jessica to her first concert..We went and saw Rodney Atkins, Steel Magnolia, and Danny Gokey. In my opinion, your first concert should be a country concert..they are just the best! I've seen way too many..and I'm still waiting to see Mr. Garth Brooks! Ahh...Someday! =)
• I accidentally burned a quarter size hole in one of my favorite tee shirts..my hot pink Eskimo Joe's one! I guess I need to either watch what I'm doing and not be such a klutz or plan a road trip back to Stillwater..or BOTH! 
• Our friends Sam and Max's son Aiden had his first birthday! I can't believe all of our friends have little wee ones! I was talking the other day how by the time we have ever have kids, our friends kids will be almost preteen! 
• I can't remember if I already blogged about it or not but Eli and I went to visit our friends Ladonna and Blue for their town's last annual Cruise Night..it was so hot but so fun! I finally got to meet Baby Elijah..I hadn't seen him since he was a day old in the hospital..last OCTOBER!
• Oh, and some other random news..Our bathroom faucet has been running constantly for 2 months if not more (Luckily, our water bill hasn't increased!) Anyways..yeah maintenance comes to fix it the week before we move! What the hell!?

Hmm..I think thats enough ranting and raving for right now. I'll leave you with some pictures!

Day 3----Favorite TV Shows!

Alright, so once I post this it is definitely going to look like I have no life outside of Target! Even though I love so many shows, it doesn't mean I watch ALL of them religiously. I catch random episodes and then read summaries online to get caught up! =)

I had always heard of this show but I had never had an interest in it until Season 5. That was because some friends invited me up to the dorms one Thursday to watch it in the lounge. Boy, was that a mistake..I'm officially addicted! I think a big reason I didn't think I would like it because I grew up with my Mom always watching ER (back when it starred Mr. Clooney!) and I thought it was pretty boring! I have since watched pretty much watched all the seasons and if I haven't watched them I've at least read through the episodes. (Told ya I have no life!) Any other Grey's fans out there?

 Once again, thanks to my wonderful friends at NSU for getting me hooked!

Nothing beats a feel good comedy with hilarious one-liners!

I would recommend this show for all teenagers and adults! It's definitely NOT a chick-flick kind of show. Everyone can relate to a character, and NO you don't have to be overweight to understand! =)

I'm one of the people who Keep Up with the Kardashians! It is definitely one of those trashy reality shows..but you just can't help getting sucked into it when flipping the channels! I can't even explain why I watch it..Maybe they just intrigue me? lol

Last but not least....Parenthood! Just like Huge..Everyone can gain something from it and it proves that there are dysfunctional families out there besides your own! =)

Day 2---Favorite Movies!

Just like music, I love way toooooo many different movies! I won't include the ones I mentioned in yesterday's post.

30 Day Blogging! Day 1-----Favorite Song (s)

So I am about 7 days late but I figured why not, I'm going to do it anyway! This will give me the perfect excuse to keep up with blogging, and ya never know..I might just throw in some of my recent adventures and thoughts like I normally should! =)

The host of this great idea is Emily! So here it goes.......
I love all genre's of music...especially Country and Oldies from 1950-1990! (It is kinda of sad that the 90's are classified as "Oldies" =/  I'm going to try and list only 5!

Stand By Me - Originally by B.B. King but I love the Mickey Gilley version out of one of my favorite movies..Urban Cowboy!

Me & Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
I've always loved Janis Joplin ever since I was little..I once dressed up as her for halloween when I was about 10..probably a little inappropriate but my Momma couldn't change my mind! I wish I could find a picture of me!


Cross My Heart -George Strait
It was so hard to choose just one George song, but this one is probably the best..plus its out of another one of my favorite movies..Pure Country! (At this rate when "Favorite Movie" day comes around, I wont have any left to share!)

Hit Me With Your Best Shot -Pat Benetar
In my opinion, I think this is just one of those songs you will always rock out to! The guitar solo is not too bad either! =)

Six-Pack Summer -Phil Vassar
I just think this is one of those feel good songs of summer!


Hope you enjoy the tunes! Maybe you even found a new song or artist! =)

My 1st Project!

My friend Jessica is always commenting on how much she loves my plain jane bulletin board hanging in my kitchen. Its nothing fancy, it has no theme or cute decorations. It does however have mementos, concert tickets, movie stubs, wedding and shower invitations, and a few random hanging knick-knacks. Crap---I just realized since I'm talking about this I should have taken a picture of MY board! I've lost my camera cord at the moment so maybe soon I will upload it! Anyways so a few months ago..think like APRIL, I had the idea of making Jessica one as a wedding/bachelorette gift. Well...I really didn't think it all through and I realized that I need to wait on making it because I would love to add bachelorette party, wedding, and any other random pictures we would take up to then. That being said, she didn't receive it on May 15th her wedding day, but more like a week after her June 12th birthday! =)

I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. Her favorite colors/prints are pink, black, zebra and polka dot with a dash of glam and Marilyn Monroe! I had built it all up in my mind, that by the time I actually got started on it, I was so stressed out! I AM NOT an artsy kind of person. I'm not that creative. I actually broke down crying because I couldn't get the damn hot glue gun to work!! Not a proud Bailey moment, trust me.

 For some reason, I can't get it to turn around. It's saved on my computer the right way so who knows, you get the idea of it!

Start of a 3 Month Recap?

:::EDIT::: Obviously I do not blog enough because I can't get all of my pictures to load and align correctly so I can continue typing under the pictures. That being said, I will continue with more posts.. It's just going be broke up over numerous posts instead of one big gigantic one!

I'm watching the CMAs so I thought why not blog during commercials.

On that note, since so so so much has happened in the last 3 months..why not do good ol' fashion bullets, with pictures of course! =)

• On March 29th, I was in a car accident and totaled the truck. I was fine except for a slight bruise on the forehead, and severe whiplash. I pretty much had a blowout on the highway going 65-70, plus I had the cruise control set. It could have been A LOT worse but according to the EMTs and police officer I was very lucky to be alive. The highway is a 4 laner and I happened to be in the middle lane eastbound; so when I tried to brake the truck of course jerked back and forth so I went off onto the shoulder, went back on the road but since I was going so fast I swerved all the way back to the left and hit the median on the driver side..THEN..I with the impact of that I swerved back over to the outside lane and spun in front of a FREAKING SEMI..and with that I ended up slamming against the median AGAIN and finally coming to a stop facing westbound! I was more shaken up than anything because I just remember a slight glimpse of the front of that semi truck. I was on the phone when it happened (YES, I know I shouldn't have been!) with my Grandma so she heard me say OMG! and the phone just went dead. So when the ambulance showed up I immediately told them and asked them to call her in Fort Smith and tell her I was alright. I am still grateful that the nice EMT lady called long distance for me and talked to my Grandma and calmed her down..by the way her and my Grandpa had already phoned the Tulsa Police because I didn't call right back. To make a long story short..the insurance company totaled it out yet it was still driveable so we went ahead and bought a used bed for it because even though the tire that caused the wreck was the back driver side tire..all the damage was on the passenger side of the bed because that's how I finally landed. So we finally have the truck back and I have started driving on highways again just not that particular one because I can still see the black marks on the median wall! So with all of that said, I am very thankful to have God watching over me that day, I could have died right there during noon traffic but God made sure that no other cars were involved. The truck honestly doesn't look that bad in the pictures.

Eli decided he wanted a cat. We have Gracie, but he felt that Gracie was more my dog because she always likes to cuddle and follow me around the apartment, but she's a Mama's girl what can I say? ;-) Just for the record, I'm scared of cats. I'm not sure why but they have always scared especially when they open their mouth. Well unfortunately I agreed he could have a cat because he was raised with plenty of them growing up and he promised to find a litterbox trained one. Well..he found a Seal-Point Siamese that was about a year old named Whisk. Luckily her and Gracie got along and played well, and they even took naps together which made me happy. The downfall was that she was a total attention whore and would do act up just because we weren't paying attention to her because we were getting dressed or cooking, just everything. Also, she would end up meowing and crying ALL night long so we had to get rid of her. I think she even started annoying Gracie those last few days together. Eli agreed we needed to find a new home for because he soon realized he was not a cat person anymore and Gracie was just enough for us. It just so happened, that ever since Whisk left, she has loved her Daddy even more! =)
