Fourth of July weekend!

Every year (well almost every year) I go to the beach with my family and a few friends. We always stay in Edisto Island, SC. It's a quite little place, but we always have a good time. This year was no different. Me, my mom, dad and Murray drove down on Friday afternoon. Once we got to Charleston, my friend Nicole who was going to meet us in Edisto told us she didn't know how to get there from her house in Charleston, so my parents dropped me off with her. We finally got there later that night and met up with everyone else at the house. We just hung out Friday because it was late when everyone got there, but we did get surprised with awesome cornhole!

Yeah, it was awesome. Be jealous. Even though I am a botchi ball champ, I am not so fabulous at cornhole. Oh well. I guess I can't be "winning" at everything in life. :)

Murray was my little beach bum all weekend. She absolutely loved it, unlike me who hates the sand and water at the beach! Here she is doing a little pose. What a ham!

I love this bathing suit. In fact, I love it so much that if I could find one for adults I would buy it for me. Anyways. Saturday we went and ate at a gas station in Yemessee. Yes, I did say a gas station. It was weird, but so good! It was called Harold's Bar & Grille. They say they can't sell you food, so they sell you the plate. Weird, yes. Tasty, yes. Later that night after almost everyone else went to sleep, Nicole, Matthew and I built a card house. It was a great card house until Murray knocked it down the next morning. Just look!

It was Elmo's castle. It was so intense building that. Not even kidding. We didn't breathe looking at it; we didn't speak. It was fabulous. Monday we watched a flyover at the beach and we saw these amazing people. I am doing this next year. I just love crazy patriotic people like myself!

Monday night I went to Charleston with Nicole, Emily, Matthew and Anna. We went to eat dinner and then we went to Patriot's Point (the USS YORKTOWN) for fireworks. The East Coast Party Band played and they were so good! We danced until time for fireworks and had such a good time! After the fireworks were over and we danced a little more, we decided to hit up downtown and go to Kaminsky's! Kaminsky's is an amazing bakery that stays open real late, for those that haven't been before. While we were in there enjoying our late night snack, Matthew asked me what would complete my favorite holiday. I told him that dancing with a military man before the 4th of July was over would be fabulous! He said that if I do this, then I would win the game we had going on (to dance with the most random men). Now, at this point in time it was 11:42pm, meaning I had 18 minutes to do this. To be honest, I did not think that this would be possible. How the heck was I going to meet a military man in the middle of the street at 11:50 pm on a Monday night?!? Time was running out really fast, but I kept on. I was about to give up at 11:57 when I saw a guy and I thought in my head "HE'S MILITARY!!!!" So, I asked him "Do you happen to be in the military?" The look on his face was priceless. I wish that I had a picture of it. He said "Yeah" with a really confused look on his face, but he smiled anyways. I asked him what branch and he said Army, so I was like YES!!!! Epic win for me! I explained to him that I had to dance with him for 5 seconds to win a game and he was like Sure! Haha! So, I asked him what kind of dance he wanted to do and he said IDK. Well, time was wasting away so I just broke it down with the boy! It was pretty amazing and I won the game. More importantly, I danced with as hot Army boy on the 4th of July. Please tell me how it could have been better!!! :)

I hope you all had fabulous weekends! What did you all do?

Has it really been a year?

Last year on May 26 I started this blog so my then boyfriend would be able to stay up with everything going on since he was in New Orleans and I was here in SC. I can't believe it's been that long!! I've been TERRIBLE at keeping up with my blog, but I am just going to keep trying! So, what has happened in the past year? I went to NOLA for a second trip in the beginning of June. I thought it was great. But, then there was the giant breakup I had with Chip. That wasn't fun. A year later and I still occasionally get upset about it. It's a big change when you think you'll spend the rest of your life with someone and then they suddenly change their mind... It was hard! But, I have incredible family and friends that helped me through it. PLUS, because of him I  met some of the most amazing people ever! I absolutely consider them some of my best friends! SO, what else? I had a Twilight birthday party, one of my best friends since I was itty bitty got married, had my keys stolen at work, dressed up as Snooks for halloween, saw another friend (and Murray's godfather) get married, got to see Danielle and her sweet family before Christmas, Murray turned 2 which I never blogged about, we went to Universal Studios in Orlando and had SOO much fun and now here we are in May! My sweet little cousin is graduating from high school this week (It's been 5 years since I graduated!!), we're going to DC this weekend, and I already have my next New Orleans trip planned for August!

So, hopefully I can get this blog to be a regular thing for me again!! I miss blogging!!!

 

Do you have a raisin in your nose?

Saturday started out as a normal morning. Murray woke up early as usual and wanted to eat first thing. She always wants to eat as soon as she gets up, but I take her to the kitchen to get something and she refuses to eat it. Go figure. Anyways, we go into the kitchen and my mom came in their with us. She was going to the grocery store and was going to take Murray with her. As they left to go to the store, I decided to go back to bed for a little bit. Yay! Extra sleep! I don't know how long I was asleep, but suddenly I heard my mom and Murray bust through my front door. "Murray has a raisin in her nose" my mom said as she hurried to Murray's bedroom. I was really confused at this point. How did she have a raisin in her nose? Did we have raisins? Where am I???? Ok, so I jumped out of bed and ran into Murray's room. My mom was trying to suction Murray's nose but it was not working. She asked me if I had a flashlight and I went to look for one. Meanwhile, Mom took Murray into the bathroom and was trying to hold her down to suction it. I ran back with the flashlight so we could try and see where the raisin was. Murray was not happy about any of this. Seriously, if you had heard her screaming you would have thought we were beating her or something. So we looked with the flashlight and we couldn't see anything. I asked mom is she was sure that Murray put one up and there. She said "Brittany, it was a yogurt raisin! Melted yogurt was dripping from her nose and she was screaming grabbing it!" Ok, so now what? We couldn't see it, we couldn't suction it. I called the doctor to see what they wanted me to do. It took the answering service FOREVER to answer. Finally they put me through and the answering service told me a nurse would call me back. Mind you, the raisin was in the nose at 10, and it was about 10:30 ish. Mom called our friend who is a respiratory therapist to see if she had any suggestions. She called an ENT doctor friend of hers and we were going to meet him at 12. The nurse called me back after that, but I told them we were taking care of it. We hurried and got dressed because it takes 30 minutes to get to the place we were meeting the doctor. Murray was so fussy and tired and I know it was hurting her. We kept asking her if she put a raisin in her nose and she would say NOOOO. As we were driving we noticed the the raisin slowly kept coming down. We could see it now, but the doctor told us not to do anything that could push it further in her nose. We finally get to the office (and my mom works in the same building, just a different office) and my mom was going to go inside and get her long tweezers because it was literally at the end of her nose. My mom starts to get out of the car and Murray started screaming!!! And guess what? Out pops the raisin! We called the doctor before he got there so he didn't make a useless trip. Thank goodness it came out! I'm glad it didn't get stuck up there...Have your kids ever stuck something up their nose before???

The Princess and the Frog

When The Princess and the Frog first came out, Murray was too little to be interested in it. I honestly forgot about it for a while. Then, right before Christmas, my friend Danielle told me there was a talking alligator in it. I knew right then I had to get it for my alligator obsessed girl! She seriously has this crazy obsession for alligators. She has a stuffed one, two plastic ones, and alligator jammies. So, using my SWAGBUCKS, I ordered the movie from Amazon.com. I was excited to see it myself, so a few days after Christmas we watched it. The sweet girl didn't move a single time during the movie. It was a cute movie! It was cool seeing "old-timey" New Orleans. So, fast forward to present day. My child is now obsessed with this movie. She points to the tv and just says "alligator, alligator" over and over. Since Sunday, I think we have watched it about 6 times (not sit down and watch but it has to be on.) I think I have created a monster...at least she is cute:).

You know it's Christmas when...

Elf is on tv!!! I absolutely love this movie. I can quote every single line... My former roomies will tell you how many times I made them watch this movie. Trust me, it's A LOT!!! And I can't just pick a single part in the movie that is my favorite, because, well, the whole thing is my favorite. Ha! There's a facebook petition for Buddy the Elf to host the SNL Christmas Special. That would be hilarious!! But, back to point. Tonight I was going to try to introduce Murray to this wonderful piece of Christmas magic. I was super excited when I saw that it was going to be on tv, since my dvd player is broken (thanks to a little 21 month old chick) and I can't just pop in my dvd anytime. So, we turned on Elf and I explained to her that this would possibly be the funniest movie she ever sees. And do you know what she did? She ran and turned the tv off. Not acceptable Miss Thang. I turned it back on and told her she would LOVE it if she would just be still and watch. So she watched for about a whole of 10 minutes, then cried to go to sleep. Now here I sit watching Elf alone. Oh well. I could think of worse ways to spend a night.

Oh speaking of movies, I have thought of something I want to do on Christmas Eve with Murray from now on. You know that movie Polar Express, right? Well every year my brother and I have slept in his room on the floor until the past couple years since I've had Murray. He stayed out in the Bungalow with me and Murray. We usually watch a movie or whatever because I don't really let Ian sleep haha. So, I want us to watch Polar Express that night. It'll be a fun tradition to start, and I think Murray will love it.  I hope so at least...

Today I am thankful for our (mine and Murray's) health. It was a rough start with my sweet little girl, being so small. Then we had the issue with her kidney reflux. But, now I have an amazing healthy little girl. Even though she has a cold right now...poor little girl!

Somewhat new look...

Well I was wanting a new background and I wanted it to be of owls...but I couldn't find anything!!! At least, I couldn't find anything free. I would LOVE a background made for me, but I don't want to spend $40 or more on one! But this one is cute and I made a new button. Also, did you notice the new title??? :) I told you I wanted owls. Ha. My life is a hoot. Murray has my sense of humor, so we laugh all day.

So what am I thankful for today? I am thankful for the ability to laugh. I laugh ALL THE TIME. Seriously, I do. I joke around too much a lot and I am willing to bet that it annoys some people. OH WELL. You can deal with it. :) I'm glad I can joke around in most situations!

I am dying to do a fashion show with all of Murray's cute new clothes, but I still have to get my new cord. UGHHHH!

Halloween Time

I haven't blogged in a week!! Crazy! I had a lot of school work this past week. I had a speech this past Thursday and I had originally picked the topic of polygamy because of the show Sisterwives. (Oh BTW, did you see the Sisterwives shocker about how one of them was married to the other's brother for a while???) Well after I basically had finished it, I decided to change my topic... 2 days before the speech. Yeah, not a super genius idea. But, I got it done and I think I did ok. I was really nervous for some reason. Next week that class is going to be so fun.. we get to dress up and I'm going as Snooki! Yep, I am gonna be Snooks. I can't wait!

Saturday night Paige, Hannah, Murray, and I went to Halloween Hoopla in Downtown Greer. It was pretty fun. Murray looks sooo cute in her costume... just look! She had glasses too, but at that point in the night she wouldn't wear them anymore.

Yesterday we went to Boo in the Zoo at the Greenville Zoo. I think she had fun, except for the little kid behind her who scared her with his mask. She hates masks. Everyone kept telling her how cute she was. Rotten child.

 

I Love Fall!

This weekend was great! Friday night we had a get together with some friends. It's always fun when we do stuff. We had a ton of food. I mean literally, a ton. Spaghetti, wings, ham delights, pigs in a blanket, chips, garlic toast, cheese danishes, and volcano cake. Seriously, that's a lot! Not that the guys didn't have any trouble putting down most of it! Anyways, after we ate we played Guesstures.. So fun! I need to get this game!

Saturday, Mom, Paige, Murray, and I went to Niven's Apple Farm and let her play and get a pumpkin. She had fun running around, but boy it was hot!!! It shouldn't be that hot in October. She picked out a little pumpkin, and I got a regular pumpkin. But more about that later :).

After the apple farm, we all went to our friend Tiffany's house so we could watch the CAROLINA GAMECOCKS whoop up on the Crimson Tide. Murray loves playing with her boys Clayton and Colton. She was wide open! Once the game started we watched it. My #19 (then) Gamecocks beat the NUMBER ONE RANKED Alabama... So now, the Cocks are #10! WOOT WOOT!!

Yesterday we went to church and then I cooked with the pumpkin. I can't wait to tell you what I cooked! :)

I love Fall!

I know it's been a while since I posted about the journal. But alas, I will finish it this week. I promise. So wanna hear about my week? I'm not sure I can even remember everything, but I'll try!

Monday- Work day. I can't remember what else I did.

Tuesday- Murray and I made sugar cookies! It was fun and I think Murray loved it. We decorated them afterwards.

Wednesday- I had computer class. Murray and I went to my grandparents so that I could work on an excel project I had. I ended up having to go to the school library to finish it though. Class was short. Basically all we had to do was submit our projects. I opted to stay late and finish the project due tomorrow!!

Thursday- I made Maple Syrup Cookies! Yum! They were delicious! I took them to my Public Speaking class.

Friday- Murray and I took my mom to meet her friends because they went to Savannah for the weekend. We went back home and rested for a little while. Later we went and ran errands... well technically I guess it was more fun stuff than errands. We went to Whole Foods, the mall, and then to Paige's. I got Murray THE CUTEST OUTFIT at Gymboree.. it has owls on it. That night Paige, Haley (Ian's girlfriend), and her friend Sam, Murray, and I had a wing party! Yum. We watched Letters to Juliet too. It was pretty fun, but I think I went to sleep by like 11.

Saturday- GAMEDAY! We hung ot at Paige's for a little while. We went home and played for a while. Then we met Auntie T and May-May at the mall. Then we went to Longhorn for dinner and it was sooo good! Murray also got a super cute new Gamecock cheerleader outfit.

Sunday- We went to church on Sunday morning and that was pretty much our whole day!

I think I did pretty good to remember that much! :)

Feel Good Friday!

I might start this as a blog hop, I might not. Murray and I have been dancing to this all morning. It's one of those feel good songs. What's making you feel good today???

Thursday 5!

Thankful

Giddy

Happy

Excited

Adored

All you need to do now is come up with five things that have made you feel these words in the past week, then post about it, make sure include the button, then go back to Mrs. Gambizzle's blog and link up with the linky at the bototm of this post so everyone can share! Happy Thursday everyone!

1. Starting tomorrow I am officially not working Friday nights any more! Yippee! This is a major reason to celebrate!! I have been working Friday nights FOREVER now and I am so glad to go to Monday and Tuesday nights!

2. Murrat and I made sugar cookies this week and had so much fun. She loved to lick the icing... I wonder where she gets that from? :)

3. I saw a picture of Dave Barnes' new Christmas album cover and I am stoked!!! Dave Barnes and Christmas music??? Yes, please!

4. I am thankful Paypal refunded the money that someone spent when my account got hacked this week.

5. I am super duper excited that the Gamecocks kicked Georgia's booty last weekend! We're #13 now! Woot Woot!

Now, it's your turn. What are you 5?

Because I know you all are soooo interested in what I did ALL day yesterday, I'll tell you :). Murray got me up around 7:30, so we played for a little bit and watched some Playhouse Disney. I made her french toast for breakfast. I FINALLY got it right! It was my third attempt at making it. I don't know why I had such trouble with it! She was so funny when she was watching me fix it. I was pouring a little syrup on the toast and she started saying "Mmmmmmm"! Haha. We came back to the bungalow and played for a while. I attempted to get her to nap and she refused, so again we played more :). Lunch time came and I fixed Mummy Dogs! They are so cute! It's hot dogs that are wrapped in crescent roll strips to look like mummy's.

 

I know you can't see it too well because I took the picture with my phone, but it gives you an idea! Anyways, moving on. After lunch I convinced her to take a nap! I took a shower and did my makeup. After her nap I got her ready and we went to my grandparents. She played there for a while. I went to work later that afternoon and was there until like 10:15 or so. I came home, ate chicken salad, and went to bed! Interesting day, right/ :)

I know I missed up until day 25, but I'm just posting up until 24 today. 

Day 22- There are only a few websites I visit on a daily basis. Facebook, of course. Gymbofriends. Coastie Chicks. Blogger. But there are a few more I love. I have mentioned Foodgawker and Weddinggawker before. Another I love is PoshTots. I wish I could afford the things on this site!!! The most beautiful baby things ever!!!

Day 23- I've mention before how much I love Dave Barnes and how funny I think he is (see Just A Little laugh). Whenever I need a laugh i just go watch one of his videos! 

Day 24-  Why do you need to know where I live? :) How about I tell about it? Murray has a princess room. And by princess room I do mean PRINCESS room. Her walls are pink, a disney stencil is across the top. She has princess bedding too. My room is more like a studio. Living room, dining room, bedroom all rolled into one. My walls are a perfect shade of green with a tan border. I have a bedspread from Urban Outfitters. I have 2 dressers, a couch, loveseat, chair, bookcase, toybox, mini fridge and entertainment place. It's rocking :)

Yesterday I found a little recipe for something called Boo Cups. They are simple, cute, and delicious!!! Perfect for Halloween!!!

 

 What you'll need:

2 pkg. (3.9 oz. each) JELL-O Chocolate Instant Pudding

3-1/4 cups  cold milk

1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided

20   OREO Cookies, crushed (about 2 cups), divided

30 Miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips 

 

How to do it:

BEAT pudding mixes and milk in large bowl with whisk 2 min. Stir in half each of the COOL WHIP and cookie crumbs.

SPOON 1 Tbsp. of the remaining crumbs into each of 15 (6-oz.) plastic cups. Cover with layers of pudding mixture and remaining crumbs.

DROP remaining COOL WHIP by spoonfuls onto desserts to resemble ghosts. Add chocolate chips for the eyes.

PS- In the crumbs I mixed into the pudding and cool whip, I added some of the chocolate chips :)

These were so yummy!! Murray loved them too :)

Happy Wednesday!

Thursday 5!

It's Thursday, which means my favorite post of the week! IF you wanna play, just follow along and then link up at Mrs. Gambizzle's blog!

Happy

Ok so I missed blogging all weekend. Saturday I wasn't home. I went and saw The Last Exorcism... which I'll blog about later. Sunday night I had to work and let me tell you, it was INSANE! I was way too tired to type last night. So I am making up for it and posting all 3 in one! :)

 

 

#10- A photo of me over 10 years ago. 

 Well this was a long time ago. i have no clue how old I am in this one. But I have to show you this picture :)

 

It's not as good as the picture of me because I took it with my phone, but it's Murray in her toy box :)

 

#11- a picture of me recently. Hmm. Well this was at the beginning of the month with my sweet friend Nicole.

 

And here's another one just because I love all my blog readers :) Again, it's blurry because it's from my phone. 

 

#12- Something you are OCD about. Ok well this one is an easy one for me. Now, most of you are going to think I am a total weirdo after this but that's ok :). I have their weird water phobia/ocd thing. I only can drink water from a water bottle that was sealed. Which alot of people are like that, but it gets worse. I tend to freak out of I leave my water bottle somewhere out of sight and then I can't drink it anymore. Ok for example, I open a water bottle and leave it in the kitchen. I decided to go in the living room for a few minutes and my mom is in the kitchen. I go back to get my water and I panic. The thoughts that go through my head are this: I wonder who drank out of my water bottle, and then I wonder if someone poured old water into my bottle. So then, I can't drink it anymore, even though I only took one sip. Yes, it is weird. I know that! That is something I am ocd about :).

My big girl!

Murray had her 18 month check up today and she was 20lb 12 oz! Yay! Now that might not seem alot to some people, but trust me. She's come along way from 4lb 8oz to 20lb 12 oz! Just look!

Not even a day old...

Isn't she cute? :)

She's so funny. She loves to play with a broom. Why? Don't ask me... I hate sweeping lol. Here's one more picture I took today. It's one of my favorites of her ever I think!
