My New Love...

OK..So I know I haven't written a blog in a month, but I really haven't had the time. But I found something that I have to blog about, and I will continue to do so until the show is over. I am completely in love with America's Got Talent! It's so great..it's not just a singing competition, they have acts of all different kinds with people of all different ages and races. Tonight was the first live night since 2 weeks ago (thanks to the Olympics- Which I fell in love with this year), right now there are 40 acts. Every night 10 acts will preform and then America votes, out of those 10 only 5 will continue on. This goes on until they get down to 20 acts left.
Tonight was the first ten. There were definitely some characters in this group. One of the most strange was a Brittany Spears impersonator. (who is a man) The worst part is, this guy looks like a woman, and is the spitting image of Brittany..it I'm lying, I'm dying...you have to watch this guy preform. It's amazing! But i would never vote for him. Sorry Britt...One of you is more than enough. My absolute favorite tonight was an insurance salesmen from New York City. I have loved this guy from the beginning. The moment you see this guy, you will absolutely fall in love! His name is Neal Boyd. He's probably in his thirties..maybe weighs 300 plus. He looks like he's in the mob..ha ha! But he is just a big teddy bear. He sings in an opera style. He will blow you away!! it is unbelievable...one of the best singers I have ever heard! You have to watch him!
Tomorrow 5 people get voted off and the next group of ten will preform. I post updates on who makes it through( and what I think of them), and who doesn't. Tomorrow night will be an awesome group of ten...a singing soldier who sounds like Edwin McCain, a 40ish black woman who sings like Dianna Ross..and an 22 year old Elvis impersonator who will blow you away. The Elvis impersonator is without a doubt my absolute favorite!

Family Beach Week 2008

We had a great week at the Beach this year. Me, mom and Tim got up early on Saturday and drove down to North Myrtle. Dad had to work on Saturday, so he was going to drive down that night. We met up with Katie and Eric to eat at Margaritaville. Which was AMAZING!

After we ate, we went to check in to our villa and then headed out for an afternoon on the beach. That night we went California Ultimate Pizza to eat. Katie and I managed to stay awake until dad got to the beach around 12:30 in the morning. On Sunday we all just laid around and hung out on the beach and sat around the pool. That night we went to Bimini's to eat. It's a little hole in the wall, but it is Great!!

On Monday, Eric's mom and brother came down to visit. Tim and I stayed inside most of the day (we were both got burned). That night we ate at home with the whole family.

On Tuesday, we went to the pool and went out to dinner at Damon's. Then we went to Broadway at the Beach to watch the fireworks. They were great! But it was super crowded!

Dad left on Wednesday Night, So we just hung around with him most of the day. After he left, we drove to Myrtle Beach so Tim and Eric could ride the Slingshot. I will add a video soon..Its so funny!

On Thursday Tim and I decided to go parasailing. We had so much fun! Then we went to the pool and swam the whole day. Then that night we went to Sara J's to eat! Sara J's is my favorite place to eat! But, we had to wait over an hour (apparently Sara J's is everyone else's favorite place to eat too).

On Friday we packed and laid around the villa all day and went to River City to eat. By the time we got back to the Villa it had started to rain. So we packed the car super fast and went to bed. We got up at six in the morning on Saturday :( We made it back it great time! I love the beach, but it is great to be back home!

The Final Rose

So...The Bachelorette Final Rose was tonight!
DeAnna picked Jesse! I loved him! he was my favorite and I really thought that she would pick him. Jason wanted her to become part of her family, but I think DeAnna was looking to start her own family and that's why she picked Jesse.
Anyways..that's all I have to blog on today :)
I'm off work tomorrow, So maybe something exciting will happen and I will have more to say tomorrow night.

4th of July Weekend!

This weekend was fantastic! The most fun I have had in a long time. On Friday, me and Tim went to the Drive game and it was so good! Even though the Drive lost, it was still a lot of fun. Then we went to eat and wlked around downtown greenville, with all the other 20 million people. Then we went back to the Drive Stadium and watched the fireworks.
Then Saturday we went down to Lake Greenwood with some of our neighbors and some of the people I work with. This was my first time out on a lake. We got in a raft and got pulled around by the jet ski at like 45 mph. Of course, I fell off. I felt like I had been in a car wreck. My neck and my back hurt. PLUS!! I almost lost my bottoms. Im glad I saved them as soon as I hit the water. We swam and hung out on the boat all day! It was amazing.
The only bad thing that happened this weekend was on friday night. As you can tell from my last post, I am accident prone. I was never like this in my whole life. But like a month ago, I started getting hurt all the time. So, friday I twisted my ankle and bruised my foot up something terriable. Then I shut Tim's extremely heavy truck door on my thumb and I broke it. It looks better today but it hurts something aweful. It especially started hurting bad when I feel out of the raft.
But other then that, this weekend was fabulous. Only a few more days til the beach!

Bad Day...

I sprained my wrist today. I've been having problems with my right hand since the start of summer. I think it's from scooping ice cream (seriously). Anyway, I was wrestling tonight (again, seriously) and I landed on my right hand wrong. I felt something pull, and now it hurts extremely bad. This wouldn't be so bad, except my entire job depends on me using my right hand.
I hope everyone has a great Fourth of July!!

My Friend

So Kelly has "Wordless Wednesdays", but I'm going to do her one better. I'm going to have Silent Saturdays.
But I feel as though these pictures need an explanation.
Every other week I clean my grandparent's house. And lately I have made a new friend. A male squirrel and I call him Mr. Squiggles. He sits on the window ledge and eats the food out of the bird feeder. He also lets you open the window (under a very watchful eye) and sit sunflower seeds on the window and he will come and eat them. Very cute!
So today I decided I had to take some pictures of him. All I had was my phone, so they are not the best pictures in the world. But you get the point. He likes to pose I think, so he must be gay as a picnic basket.

Last Night of VBS!

Today was a good day..and a not so good day.
Apparently I broke my car. Something to do with the transmission (my bad). Which means I won't have a car for a couple of days. Which is fine, I have no life, I go no where. But, I do need it saturday, I have to work and babysit the Hudson girls. But no one seems to understand this. ugg... Tonight was the last night of VBS! but i still have to sing those songs everyday because we have to preform them infront of the church. I have to stand infront of the kids...so yes, everyone will be looking at my butt :(
We won our softball game! We play tomorrow night at 7:30 and then if we win, we wil play in the championship next week. I stood in right field, and did absolutly nothing..actually thats a lie, I was singing VBS songs and doing the dance moves.
We are doing my dad's fathers day tomorrow night (well, i guess tynically it's tonight). and guess who still hasn't managed to get a gift...ME!! Im horriable, i know.
It's short, i know. But, I have to take another exam in the morning.
