My Upcoming SNL Favorite Female...

So, every time I watch this lady in a skit, I almost pee my pants. Here are a few of my favorite recent videos of her.

Barista Baby?

Hey Everyone..

I just had my second interview at Starbucks today, I should know by Friday if I got the job. I'm hoping to work at this specific store, because it is in adorably cute, historic downtown Franklin, not to mention really cool celebs like Keith Urban, Nicole and the baby, Miley Cyrus, and Carrie Underwood come in all the time. Other celebs to be spotted downtown, Jessica Simpson, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.. so I just think it would be fun to work there.. not to mention, I would get benefits, and a little extra cash, all the Starbucks I can drink (which will allow for some extra spending money in my budget) and a pound of coffee a week! Say a little prayer for me!

Nashville During The Day..

I have yet to get downtown Nashville during the day to see all the tourist stuff. I've been here for almost two months now.. I finally got down there.. here are some of the highlights!

the phone rang. it was from belgium.

What the crap? I received a very interesting phone call from Belgium today.
My heart is so, so, so confused.

Punkin Patch!

So, its October, and fall, which is my favorite season. Although, fall here in TN isn't the same as Oregon. I miss sweater weather, and layering. Oh, layering, there is nothing that a plus size girl loves more than layering. I miss beanies too, and scarves, and seeing my breath in the air. I miss mittens and drinking hot coffee. It still is 80 degrees here. There is still one thing that is the same in October, and that is the pumpkin patch! I took my first field trip at school and Mrs. Olson, myself, and our 16 pre-k students went to Walden's farm for a hayride, petting zoo, and the pumpkin patch. Here are some photos from the day!

Baby Cows!



Look at the size of this turkey!


Finding the perfect pumpkin.



Cotton. I'm in the south, first time i've seen a cotton plant.


Some one on one shots.




The class shot at the farm. Me and all my lil kiddos.

They learn so young...

So, I have this little boy in my class, and it is so funny. Every time he knows he is about to get in trouble, he says, "you look pretty." I laughed, because he has had it conditioned at a very young age how to get himself out of trouble with the ladies, pay them a compliment. I thought of all the guys I've dated, in their 20s even, that have tried to dig themselves out of an argument, or the dog house by saying... "You look pretty." Here's to the men.

Happy Birthday Little Buddy!

This one goes out to my new favorite people in Tennessee....

I have to admit.. moving all the way out here was a little scary. I was a little nervous coming 3,000 miles away with next to no social circle. I am starting to settle in though, expanding my circle, doing a little dating, and meeting some truly amazing people since I have been here. This blog is in honor of my new "girlfriends" in Nashville. Susan and Ashley have become so dear to my heart. I love them. They remind me of friends I had while in college, and I think because of that I feel like I've known them forever! :D

Me and Susan.. last night at "the Rado," aka, Silverado's.


Susan rockin' the Reba t-shirt. So appropriate for last night.


the three amigas.


An older picture... from my first week here, but Ashley wasn't with us last night and had to make sure she was included!
