Only Ashley will appreciate this ….2 white girls never loved Madea more than us!

To want to punch a kid in the face that leaned out of his moms backseat and flicked me off on Tuesday night because I honked at them….true story…he was 8ish.
To have enjoyed sitting in the back of the classroom, grading and filing all week. Its been nice to tweet during the day.
TO be excited about seeing twilight with a certain someone this weekend….
To be excited about seeing a certain someone this weekend….
To have not made a Christmas list…
To have no started Christmas shopping
TO have not even thought about what to get people
To be a words with friends addict….STILL
To really want to write some guest posts….seriously hit me up….Im about to have an abundance of FREE TIME and I’d love to post for y’all if you want of course….I dont want to be so conceited to think anyone wants to read my nonsenseΒ 
To be overly excited for NEELY AND AMBER’S FABULOUS HOLIDAY BLOG CHALLENGE COMING UP RIGHT AFTER THANKSGIVING!Β 
TO think that was a shameless self promotion plug ….WORD
ITS OK if you’ve never linked up for Boob Tube Babble on Fridays….you have a chance tomorrow πŸ™‚Β 
Shameless plug 2
Its OK to include another post inside of this post….right?

Manic Mother
Today’s topic is : Thankful for the blogoverse….
Oh lord where to I start! I have been blogging a little wee bit less than 2 years. In that two years it has changed my life immensely. I have met most of the people I refer to as my best friends. I have gone on 2 trips I would have never gone on. I have had so many shoulders to cry on, people to vent to, and most importantly a place for my voice. My outlet.Β 
I am so thankful for the people I have met, the people who read my blog be it daily or every now and then. I am thankful for the opportunities I have been given because of blogging. I would have never known about pinterest, etsy and all the amazing products I have discovered because of blogging. I wouldn’t be watching Revenge, I wouldnt know about Pure Barre.Β 
I am thankful for the girls I have come to call best friends. The ones I text constantly(3 way texts for the win). The ones I giggle with when we room at Blissdom or on trips or when they come to visit(ahem Ashley). The ones I quote movies with 24/7…RACHEL! The ones I have become able to email with about anything(Kate, Caroline, Jax). The ones that have my back(you know who you are.) The ones I spend my weekends with(Amber, Kiley, Laura,Caitrin .) The ones who feel like big sisters even though we are the same age(Linds, Meghan,Laura).

LOVE YOU ALL

The blog world reminds of me of that sorority saying “From the outside you dont understand from the inside you cant explain it” Or something like that….
I love you girls to the moon and back and I would do anything for you.Β 
Thank you for making blogging one of the best parts of my life!
NOW LINK UP WITH AMBER AND I FOR ITS OK THURSDAY πŸ™‚

    I can’t believe a little kid flicked you off! Wonder where he learned that from…little bastard.

    Anwho, I love what you said about blogging and couldn’t agree more. I just told Meghan how lucky you ladies are that you’ve been able to meet. There are a couple blog chicks that I really hope to meet someday.

    I hope you have fun with your “certain someone” this weekend! Movie dates rock.
