Update

I have been asked by several people to update my blog. Confession #1: I have lost my camera...I am not sure if I, being the clumsy, out-of-it person lost it or if it was taken from me at work. Considering the kids I work with....I'm thinking it might be the latter of the two! ahha
My sister always tells me, "Virginia, don't post on your blog without pictures." Sorry to disappoint sis, but this post won't have any pics. I am praying Santa will bring me a new camera for Christmas!

Thanksgiving was great. I spent some much needed time at home with my parents and enjoyed some of my favorites...sweet potato pie, fruit salad, and Mill St. Deli chicken salad. Confession #2: I bought a Snuggie...and it's pink! It's amazing and I recommend it to everyone. Instead of doing the traditional Thanksgiving meal at home, we loaded up the car and headed down to the Loveliest Village on the Plains!! Confession #3: We ate Thanksgiving lunch at McDonald's in Childersburg!! No turkey, no dressing...just cheeseburgers and fries!! I would only forfeit that meal for my Tigers! AK was already in AU with her in-laws, so we hitched up with her and 61 (my sister from another mother) and her family.

Confession #4: This was my first trip to the Plains this football season! I'm embarrassed to even admit that. I am constantly amazed by the ever-changing campus at Auburn. My parents were sweet enough to let me take a trip down memory lane and took me on a few drive-bys....my old Ross St. House, Hollifield Hall, and Amsterdams (so sad they were closed). I forget sometimes how much I love Auburn...how when you turn off 280 onto College St. your heart starts to beat a little bit faster. Yes, I know I'm cheesy!! I spent 3 of the greatest years in AU and if I could snap my fingers and do it all over again, I'd be there in a heartbeat! Despite the loss, a wonderful time was had by all.

Friday night after the game, I convinced my family to drive back to B'ham instead of staying in AU at the hotel. On the drive back, the four of us discussed what we were thankful for and all the wonderful family memories we have had. I, like many others, take for granted all the wonderful things in life. We talked for a solid two hours about our favorite vacations, favorite Christmas', and other funny memories. If I didn't have my family I honestly don't know what I'd do. They are the most supportive, caring, and understanding people a girl could ask for.

The rest of the weekend was spent decorating my house for Christmas. The tree is up, (thank you Dad!) an amazing wreath has been swoozied up by my Mom and sister, and there is a beautiful shabby-chic Nativity scene on my buffet. Life is good!

I am hosting a little Christmas get-together at my house next week and I'm going to beg my parents for use of their camera!! haha Please Mom and Dad!!

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

T-minus 11 days until "New Moon" comes out on November, 20th. Yours truly has already pre-ordered her ticket for the midnight showing on the 19th!! I swore I would never read the Twilight books because I don't really get into Sci-Fi stuff...but I gave in when everyone at work last year was reading them. I, like every other person in America, fell in love with the books. I am on Team Edward all the way! Boo Team Jacob!! haha A few weeks ago, I ordered a 6-foot cardboard cut-out of the hottest vampire!! He has been placed in our room at work and I have to admit, he is a bit distracting...I find myself randomly staring at him! Often times, I think to myself, "Can I find myself an Edward Cullen?" "Can I be Bella?"

I Heart Edward Cullen!!!

This weekend, I headed home to A'ville on Saturday to take our annual family Christmas picture. While at home, my sister and I started talking about high school and somehow got into a discussion about my old prom dresses. When I was a junior, I wore a blue 2-piece (yes, I know it sounds kind of scandalous, but it wasn't!!) dress that I was obsessed with. I wore it around my house every day for months leading up to prom. I need to add that when I was a junior, I was much smaller than I am now. I have always wanted to put the dress back on just to see if I could still pull it off. The dress definitely doesn't look the same on me as it did 8 years ago, but I somehow managed to squeeze into it. Wearing the dress around my house made my entire weekend...it was hilarious. Although, I have to admit that the top wouldn't completely zip! ahahah

I will never part with this dress!

While I'm admitting all these crazy things that I love, I can't leave out my obsession with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Ever since the reality show aired on TV a few years ago, I haven't missed an episode. I LOOOVE the show!! I want to quit my job and move to Dallas to try out! I told my Mom the other day that I wish I would have post-poned college for a few years and moved to Texas to be a DCC!! hahaha In high school, I danced all the time. I even wore the white boots and did kick-lines! Last week, I ordered the new DCC work-out video that teaches you all of their dances!!!!! I haven't tried it yet, but if all goes as planned, I will know all of their dances in a few weeks!!
