Lovely Friends I Have!

Nights like last night are what makes it so hard to just pack up and leave again in a couple weeks! My lovely friend Erin has starting dipping her toes into the world of online dating and has been blogging her progress along the way. My roommate Erin, Korri, and I all met up at the dating Erin's abode last night for some snacks, wine, and online dating gossip!



This was our spread and it was amazing! We ended up hanging out till about 1:30am catching up on new teevee, cashing 4 bottles of wine (and 4 bottles of cider for me), doing nails, and gossiping about boys. The PERFECT girls night in!

This is definitely what I will miss come October when we peace out Connecticut!

Let's Try This Again

Ok my friends we are gonna attempt to reactivate my little piece of the interweb again...

Since we've last talked I've finished up my time in Austin, TX and loved just about every second of it! It really is a fantastic city and let me tell you if it was closer to home and not like the surface of the sun in the summer I would would def consider moving there. That's the pretty awesome thing about this traveling deal is that we get to move to these awesome places no strings attached and potentially find an incredible place to live! Although I will say that I'm still banking on Columbus as my forever home...

Next on our list is this lovely little place...


Hartford Connecticut! My New England in the fall dream is coming true! We won't be there until Oct 10th so I prolly won't get as much of the fall as I had dreamed of but I still can't wait! We are already talking about planning trips to Vermont, NYC, Boston, and New Hampshire! So excited to get on the road again...and stop paying rent! Its been nice to be back in the bus for the summer so it will be hard to leave again but this is my dream man! The other super sucky thing is we have to work Christmas which is a huge downfall. I'm sure it will be a big sob fest for me on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day but I'm sure to survive!

This summer has been full of catching up with peeps, trips to do fun things, pool time, new friends, old friends, and fabulous times all around. The time has now come for my favorite time of year...FALL! Football, jeans, sweaters, pumpkins, boots, scarves, hoodies, candy corn, pumpkins, pumpkins, and PUMPKINS!

Also during my blogging absence two birthday have passed...



My dad and sister Hannah both had birthdays and I was so glad I was able to celebrate with them!

Well my friends I must start paying attention to this movie...its no chick flick and actually needs my undivided attention...I will promise to keep up more often for my many faithful readers out there!

I'm a Follower Let's Face It...

Welll I will admit..I a big ole copy cat...

I'm leaving behind blogspot for awhile and trying out tumblr...just like my pal Britt...

It just seems easier to work with and maybe I'll post a bit more...or maybe I won't...we shall see...

Check out my little space... http://somethingthatsays.tumblr.com/

Peace out kids :)

Happy Happy Birthday!!!

I prolly should have written this earlier today but I've been trying to get my life in order so I can hang out in Texas a little longer...

Today is the birthday of hands down one of the most fabulous people in my life! The one and only bthompchomp aka Britt Thompson!

I got the most fantastic phone call from her last night after her celebration. She reminded me multiple times that she is in fact 27 and I will be following in that path in a few short months. I am so glad she was able to get out and celebrate cuz let me tell you if anyone in the world deserves a good celebration right now...its her!

We have been friends since the days of Perry Township and her little green geo and I don't see it ending anytime soon. The pic above was taken at my going away party before California and now even living in Texas we are still talking, tweeting, texting, you know the usual :) She makes me laugh all the live long day, is one of the smartest and wittiest people I know, and is going to change so many lives with her future...I have no doubt!

Happy Birthday B! I hope 2011 will take a turn for the better and give you the 27th year you deserve!!

St Patty's Day Austin Style!

T-Minus 1 Day

One more day...including one more night of work stands between me and St Patricks Day 2K11...Austin Style!

I am loaded up with my accessories, green mani/pedi, energy drinks (since I work Wed night) and some awesome travel nurses to celebrate with!

Let's just say I'm beyond excited and counting down the hours!

I also realized I really need to start writing here more...I'm sure all of you are dying to know about plans for my next travel nursing adventure!

It's Almost Hereeeee!!!!

Anyone who knows me knows my obsession with St. Patrick's Day...and if you don't know me just take a looksie back at this post and you will soon realize how amazing I think this day is! Why St. Patrick's Day is Fabulous!

This year will be quite different as I will be spending the best day of the year in lovely Austin Texas. It's also the weekend of South by Southwest, a HUGE music festival downtown. I won't be with my favorite people ever...the people that don't judge me when I make everyone in the bar wear this...



Or when I want to start my day when the sun comes up...or when I bring along everything green that I own and end up a bit like this...



My fabulous Columbus people understand all that about me and join in most of the time! Will Austin do the same??? Will I find fabulous people to hang out with??? Will they be as amazing as these people...






I HOPE SO!!!
