Who am I and Where have I been??

I can't even tell you who I have become..

Life has been hard.

and Just when I feel like I can't possibly grow up at a faster speed something happens and guess what?

I DO

For all that wasn't aware from the previous posts. 

These past months, have been hard.. 

one of the hardest parts I can tell you about though is,

my sweet, wonderful Nana lost her fight to cancer.

She went peacefully at home just like she wanted.

but to be honest, 

it didn't make it any easier.

not for me at least. 

Yes. She isn't suffering and NO she didn't deserve any disease that was placed in her life

but I miss her. alot more than you can imagine.

She wasn't my first grandparent to pass away,

she was actually one of my lasts.

but she was the one that was always there.

EVERY Christmas, EVERY prom, EVERY graduation

EVERY birthday you could expect a call and a card.

She never forgot.

Never failed.

She was also a God fearing and loving woman.

Something that I strive to be more and more now that she is gone.

Which made it worse on me. 

to be completely honest.

I got ANGRY.

and I didn't want anyone to know. and I have no idea why.

I just couldn't comprehend why God would put a woman through that,

 who served him as strongly and graciously as she did. 

Someone who always put him first.

Look at all the evil people in this world dying from car accidents and heart attacks 

while my sweet grandma went through months and month of Radiation to help with 

lymphoma all to have to give up in the end because of a brain tumor.

I just don't understand.

But guess what.. I don't have.

My God is all knowing God. 

He knows my heart 

and 

he is slowly blessing me with peace beyond understanding

and that is what I have to be thankful for. 

All I know is I am growing up..

Fast.

I HATE it when people say 

"your only 24, honey you are a youngster"

that's great.

because at 24 I have dealt with alot..

From death from family,

death from a close friend growing up,

divorced family,

an abusive relationship,

friends stabbing you in the back,

feeling absolutely defeated at work,

feeling like I make good money just for TAXES to take it away

to having my heart being broke from lost loves. 

Well my friends,

if this is any for sight of the future, 

to be honest,

I am NOT excited. 

At this point I feel like I only have a couple of things I can do..

**Tuck my tail.

**Deal with life as it is passed to me.

**Be thankful for the good times with good friends

and not linger on the bad times with fake people.

**Pray.. all day.. and never stop. 

and **keep my family CLOSE.

so THANKFUL for this outlet right now.

sorry if I brought any of you down.

XOXOXO

<< Fired >>

yes, I am fired.

at blogging.

at it all together.

I have seriously been so busy!

I can't seem to get ahead or really get my breath.

I haven't forgotten about you all though.

and I am pretty STOKED about being able to do it today!

So let's see ...

I have NO IDEA where to start.

pretty much though,

things have drastically changed with my nana.

While going through treatments for the lymphoma,

they noticed her acting different then she normally would.

forgetting things, loss of balance, etc.

So they took her to the doctor to get it checked out.

a safety precaution we thought.

Turns out they found a tumor on the left side of her brain that

was projected to grow rapidly.

She then made the decision to quit all treatment

and head home where she could be in the peace of her own home.

Since then I have been back forth pretty much every weekend I could.

As if that isn't enough on my plate ...

I also moved last weekend.

For all you Lex folk, remember last Thursday when it was raining ALL DAY

and miserable.

Yep, that's the day I moved.

Believe me, I was miserable!!

But with the help of a good friend I got everything in here.

Almsot set up and unpacked.

Things are finally coming together TODAY,

when I actually am getting TV AGAIN!

I am STOKED

honestly, it makes me want to skip work and just lay in my bed and watch it

lazy bones. I know!

Don't worry, Mom, I am really not going to do that!

But this is pretty much me,

just stopping by to say HI

and IM ALIVE

and I promise to update soon with

stories and pictures from this crazy life I have!!!

Peace out home fries!!

I'm excited to just watch the NEWS!!

Seriously guy.. Get real

so I've only shared this story with maybe 2 people

and each time, I get the same reaction.

"UGGHH.. seriously?"

so here it goes.

Friday night Whit and I went to Drakes.

I seriously hadn't been out in Lex in forever

and I just had to! 

{so I thought}

this is one of those nights everything was just off.

right before going out I realized, 

I would be completely satisfied staying home.

But I pulled it together 

{wore my hott new red heels} 

and we headed out.

The last two times I've been to drakes I've seen everyone I didn't want to.

No really!

this used to happen to me when I was in college at Two Keys.

You know the same people who always see you not at your best 

who know way to much about you

and could potentially black mail you at any time.

well yepp, that is the crew I saw

{ol' small town Lex}

But this night. 

guys had the strangest approach on hitting on me.

I am not sure if the heels were screaming something I didn't know 

or what..

but listen to these stories:

situation #1:

guy: Hey girl! how you dooooinnnG?

me: i'm okay.. (slowly)

guy: are you wearing flower bomb?

me: yes

guy: are your shoes new?

me: yes.

guy: is that a Michael Kors watch?

me: yes

guy: can I guess your bra size?

me: umm. I guess {intrigued to be honest}

guy: 34 B.

me: NOPE

*that was the end of the conversation.

He was so off from my bra size it makes me feel

half way good and half way bad.

I really didn't get puzzled about this till the next morning? 

what the hell?*

situation #2:

{I'm standing at the bar. talking to a friend}

guy: hey girl.. will u order me a Hennessy and coke?

me: NO. 

guy: why? I'd pay you for it..

me: not the point. the bar is right there. 

guy: (smiles.) I'd rather you do it

I WALK OFF

*what the hell? can you not order your own drink now?

I don't know you from adam and you want me to order you drink? 

not to mention the whole time he has is arm around a girl.

why can't she order you a drink?*

situation #3:

{as I am walking out}

guy: hey girl.. 

me: hello

guy: where you and your red heels sleeping tonight?

me: you can't be serious..

I WALK OFF AGAIN

*what the hell? that's all I can say.

where these dudes come from?

I will never know*

so this a post dedicated to all you bachelors out there.

classy girls don't fall for this business and if they do.

then you don't want them 

because they probably aren't on the classy side.

{JUST SAYING}

Hope you all had a good weekend and Monday!!

I will be heading to watch the 

WILDCATS play FLORIDA

tonight!!

<<< The Awesome, The Awful, the Great and the Bad >>>

OOOPPPSS.

I suck again! 

I know.. 

I managed to miss blogging everyday this week.

Even though I have been reading, I just haven't had the time to talk.

so let's rewind.

This weekend I spent it with my nephew, mom and stepdad at their house.

that is my mental retreat when I get way to stressed out here in reality

to be honest, I did nothing while there. (which was amazing)

ate some mexican, watched TV, planned a tailgate, and started reading the hunger games.

it was seriously, just what I needed. 

Had a meeting on Monday in Louisville with my company at the YUM center

love company meetings for a couple reasons,

I get to be out of the office and when they are state wide I get to see not only my brother but also my DADDY!

BLESSS his heart because I am not the easiest to get along with. 

came back to town Monday night and have been in world wind ever since.

so let's touch on the MAJOR points.

HERE. WE. GO..

1. As everyone should know I am not a chef.

I never claim to be.

Yes, I HEAR from other people that it should be an instinct or something I'm born with or something that I can "practice"

well, I am sorry my friends, yes it is getting better 

but it is nothing spectacular. 

>>for example: I burnt popcorn last night<<

(there went my dinner)

anyway  BACK TO THE POINT

when at my moms I planned a tailgate

equipped with beverages, chips and salsa, veggie tray and "wings"

when on my way to the grocery I talked to my brother on the phone which went like this:

Me: I think we should have wings at moms too.

What do you think?

Micah: Yeah, that should be good. 

Are you going to make them?

Me: Yes, I think I will try. I saw this recipe for BAKED wings.

so that would be healthier for us.

Micah: your right. Sounds good. 

Do you know what to get?

Me: Yes, I think I do?...

**notice a couple of things.. he questions every move about the wings.

seeing if I was going to make them, if I knew how and if I knew what to get**

well, hard headed me.. charges in there and buys raw chicken wings

buffalo sauce, and BBQ sauce 

We get home and I shower while Mom and Micah stick them in the oven.

When I get of the shower I peep down in the oven and notice the wings are HUGE!

So the point of this story my friends:

when looking for chicken wings you have to buy buffalo wings apparently

not chicken wings. chicken wings are what you order at KFC with a leg.

Example number 1000000 I am not a CHEF!

2. Never let someone else set up your twitter

so here is how this went. 

my step dad who is a technology guru 

(dangling on the fence of embarrassing)

realized a couple of years ago that TWITTER

would be the next big thing.

to be honest, I didn't believe him.

neither did my mother (who refers to twitter as "THE TWIT")

bless her heart too!

but my step dad wold not take no for an answer and literally 

held my phone hostage to set up twitter

years pass and all of a sudden everyone is on it.

so I start using it from the app on my phone.

never realizing I didn't know the password.

well yesterday, for some reason

my lovely iphone lost it's mind.

and LOGGED ME OUT

Now I am locked out of my twitter.

the email that he used to start is shut down because it's my college email.

and my phone number was never registered with it.

the website pretty much said I was S. O.  L. 

so I started a new one: follow me @meggie_1002

(or click the ----> button on the side)

That is why you never let someone else set up your twitter

3. I LOVE shoedazzle!

so yesterday, I received my first order.

I have literally been stalking it online.

tracking it everyday. 15 okay, 2 times a day!!

please look how pretty.

even equipped with a pretty pink shoe bag.. 

AMAZING

here they are...

I LOVE SHOEDAZZLE!!! 

4. Drake is in 2 weeks..

ahhh.. can't freakin' wait!!

Nat got us the club floor room.

yes. me and bitchezzzz roll in VIP

Hurry up 2 weeks!! 

So I will leave you with this.. 

XOXOXOXO

Have a great weekend!! 

<< Friday, Friday Friday >>

To be honest.. 

I could almost starting singing that little annoying song

That goes something like this.. 

"It's Friday, Friday

Gotta get down on FridayEverybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekendFriday, Friday"

who am I?

let's act like I just didn't go there..  

ANYWAY.. 

now that I have embarrassed my self.. 

I just HAVE to tell you a couple of things...

this is a real conversation between my mother and I

YESTERDAY

Me: Mom, you know how people used to join book clubs?

Mom: Yes.. where they get a different book and read it every month?

Me: Yeah! Well, I didn't do that.. but instead I joined a SHOE club!

Mom: WHAT?

Me: Mom, a shoe club. It's fantastic. You pay a small fee every month and you pick out a different shoe EVERY MONTH

{obviously I am referring to shoe dazzle for all you lovely ladies.

but remember, this is my mom.. 

she just isn't aware}

Mom: that's just crazy to me. What in the world are you going to do with them all?

Me: WEAR THEM?

I hope you all think this is as funny as I do!

She then went on to say, 

"we will have to buy you some kind of organizer to hang on a spare wall just for shoes.."

{my reference.. Oh, kinda like a wine rack but for shoes?} 

(she loved that)

her next comment was:

"When your ready to buy a house, I think you should buy a 3 bedroom. 

one for you.

one for your guests.

and one for you clothes and shoes"

{sad part. I think that sounds like A GREAT idea!?}

But you all have to check out these bad boys I ordered from the ol' Shoe dazzle

(I wish when I typed that it instantly turned in a glitter font!)

like hurry up.. and get here

because I want to wear you!! 

{I'm hoping for good quality and for a little comfortableness}

I will let you all know!! 

Yesterday I also..   

slipped away from work on my lunch break

{usually I eat here. at the office. so I can be available}

to the nail salon with WHIT (just in case you wanna check her out)

we took the Pink Lou Lou's advice and went to Aphrodite.

{20% off.. hello?}

I must say. it was great.

I want to go back now and get a pedi!

Here is a pic below of how it turned out.

{yes my nails are nasty short}

but I wanted Shellac french tip. 

turned out great!!

Today...

is finally Friday!

{oh yeah, we already talked about that}

I had to leave this little girl at home sleeping tight.. 

{her pretty pink bed}

but about 10:45 I got this delivered to my back office

{yepp,that's right, my friends}

jimmy johns

they opened a new one on Moore drive.

which is close to the office

so they brought samples by today!!

spreading that JJ love.

this afternoon I will be closing up the office

because everyone has a homecoming celebration for their kids.

and then I will be heading to etown to see mi madre 

in person.

I'll let you all know if there are any more convos you all need to hear!! 

XOXOXO

have a good weekend!!
