Beauty is in the eye...

I have 4 tattoos and more people than you'd think have very negative thoughts on Women having tattoos (or anyone in general).. Here's somethin for ya-- *It's my body, not yours!! I like them!! Don't look if you don't want to see them!!*


So I thought I'd post with a few tattoos that i think are just beautiful.. none of which are mine:


Some people might think the below is just wierd. Personally, I think it's gorgeous. Kudos to the girl who got this amazing tattoo.

I love these flowers. They are so dainty and cute.. If you're a girl & you're gonna get a tree tattoo, this is the way to go!

I have a bird tattoo quite similar to this one, but not in that location. Love how simple this one is:

Unfortuntely Amazing

hhhm, so I really tried on that post title today :) & I would be lying if I said I didn't do a DANG GOOD JOB at catching your eye!

but for real, the purpose of this post is to complain. To complain that all the food that tastes sooooo freakin good, is always the WORST. :: for example McDONALDS! I love McDonald's. They have the best fries and cheeseburgers in the whole entire world (guilty pleasure)-- so thats probably taking it a little too far, but you get the picture.

I stopped this morning for a little secret breakfast on the way to work & it didn't dissappoint. I love that they sell Mochas now so I don't have to go 15 minutes out of my way when I want a Starbucks-ish drink. & it's a lot cheaper too!

So  while I was googling visual pretties for this blog post, I came across some pretty fun images I thought Id' share! :)

Panama Citaayyy;; Random Day trip

Yesterday, a couple friends and I decided to make a little journey down to Panama City Beach, Florida. It's only about 3 and a half hours away (3 or less if I drive!) and it's the GULF. So here are some pictures from my phone to tell the story:



This would be me.. sitting in the back seat of a BARBIE Car!!



my view for most of the day...



Panama City Beach, the view from the back seat of the car.



the pier. across the street from Pier Park shopping center.

me & my beautiful friend Kristina, this was her first time seeing white sand & the Gulf!



we saw this on a van outside of Sharky's. How cute is this name for a Salon? LOVE IT.



&& Then I came home and found this little ball of fur hiding in my duffle bag..

sorry for the horrible lighting, cell phone was almost dead.

Sorry for the crappy quality of these pictures--  they're all from my phone.

I hope everyone has a great week! I know I will, it's a short one for meee!

Atlanta Adventures

So I'm sitting in a hotel in Atlanta watching Tosh.O reruns & thought I'd write a post :)

I came up here today because I have to be at a SIFE competition at 8 in the morning & didn't want to drive through rush hour traffic. && I don't have to get up as early, since I'm already here!

...support it.

Anywho, I checked into my hotel and was happy when they told me I'd be on the 33rd floor. I was absolutely amazed when I looked out my window and saw this:

Wow. I am just in love with this view. Imagine how gorgeous it would be if my room were on the next side of the building (to the left) and I could watch the sunset/rise over the rest of the city-scape. God sure did create an amazing world didn't he? & so many talented people who can create such an infrastructure like this one.

I really think Atlanta is a beautiful city. I've been to quite a few large cities now, and I can safely say that Atlanta really is one of the prettiest. I think I would rank Pittsburgh, PA & Jacksonville, FL at a close second/third... I must have a thing for cities with lots of bridges. :)

okay, bedtime for this girl!

Apples & Oranges

I am about the least tech-savvy person alive. I am horrible with electronics in general. Not sure why but I always seem to mess them up, drop them, break them, delete everything off of them. Phones, Cameras, Ipods, Laptops-- it doesn't matter. I'll eff it up, no problem.

not my actual laptop, but a pretty version of the same one :)

I got a sweeeet new HP Verve Special Edition laptop for my 21st birthday from my amazing parents & not even 2 weeks after I got it it started messing up, freezing-- shutting down, etc. I've had that laptop for 3 years and by now I am FED UP!! I just paid off my surround sound from my Best Buy card so I decided to hop down to the local Best Buy and make a large purchase!

I am now the proud owner of a new MACBOOK PRO! wooooo hoooo! I am having so much fun learning the Mac system right now. & I'm excited to see what all I can produce for work on this thing.

so cute.

So if anyone has any special tips, I'd love to have them because I know almost NOTHING about this new contraption :)


&& i'm gonna include some oranges to this post, so at least the title makes sense. ha ha

i love the things you can find on the internet! :)

Ya'll have a great weekend!

&& the Lord said,,

Let there be Light!

Sunlight makes me happy.

It does so much more than provide the ability to "see". It is good for your skin (moderately :) ). It gives you essential vitamins that you can't get anywhere else. & It generally lightens anyone's demeanor. They say people who live in sunny climates are happier than those who live in rainy or cloudy ones.

Today is a beautiful clear, sunny day in Georgia. It's already 80 degrees and I cannot WAIT to take my lunch break and just BE in it.

Here are a few of the things holding me over until 1pm when I get to step outside :)  ++

i just want to run through this..

it's already arrived in Georgia!

so this one is a sunset, but i still like it!

<3 <3 the detail of this door and window!

peaceful.

i want a picture of myself doing this..

haha

okay, i kinda went overboard on the sunshine pictures. But I just LOVE them!!

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

Workie Workie

So I sat down (well, stood up rather-- I've decided to burn more calories at work, so I lifted my desk!) and realized that I had my "daily items" neatly organized on my little Clemson Scratch Pad and had to take a picture...

for some reason this cracks me up!!

i.love.random.

and while i was googling the word "random" for a fitting picture, i came across this and had to add it!

funnnnyyy.

i wish this was in my town.

okay okay, back to more important business!!
