Sharing is Caring

Today was a weird day at school.

But, I've learned a lot from it, and in the process, stumbled upon two wonderful websites that I feel I need to share with you!

1. FLYlady.net

FLY is an acronym for Finally Love Yourself.

"FlyLady uses the Sidetracked Home Executive (SHE) system as a basis for organizing her home and her life. She adds humor, spunk, and a dose of common sense to her advice, but be prepared - FlyLady does not allow whining. You have to get off your 'Franny'!"

Please join me in FLYing. The first step is to Shine Your Sink!

I can't wait to start.

2. Operation Beautiful

 This is kind of like PostSecret but much more self-esteem boosting!

"The goal of the Operation Beautiful website is to end negative self-talk or “Fat Talk.”  If this little blog only does one productive thing, I hope it helps readers realize how truly toxic negative self-talk is  — it hurts you emotionally, spiritually, and physically."

I encourage you all to try to take part in this randomly. Maybe post a note in the bathroom at work. Or, put it on a random car window. You never know whose day you'll brighten with your kind words!

Shawty´s like a melody in my head
That I can´t keep out
Got me singin´ like
Na na na na everyday
It´s like my iPod stuck on replay replay-ay-ay-ay (2x)

Remember the first time we met
You was at the mall wit yo friend
I was scared to approach ya
But then you came closer
Hopin´ you would give me a chance

Who would have ever knew
That we would ever be more than friends
We´re real worldwide breakin all the rules
She like a song played again and again

That girl like somethin off a poster
That girl is a dime they say
That girl is a gun to my holster
She´s runnin through my mind all day ay

Shawty´s like a melody in my head
That I can´t keep out
Got me singin´ like
Na na na na everyday
It´s like my iPod stuck on replay replay-ay-ay-ay (2x)

See you been all around the globe
Not once did you leave my mind
We talk on the phone from night til the morn
Girl you really change my life
Doin things I never do
I´m in the kitchin cookin things she likes

We´re real worldwide breakin all the rules
Someday I wanna make you my wife
That girl like somethin off a poster
That girl is a dime they say
That girl is the gun to my holster
She´s runnin through my mind all day ay

Shawty´s like a melody in my head
That I can´t keep out
Got me singin´ like
Na na na na everyday
It´s like my ipon stuck on replay replay-ay-ay-ay (2x)

I can be your melody
A girl that could write you a symphony
The one that could fill your fantasies
So come baby girl let´s sing with me
Ay I can be your melody
A girl that could write you a symphony
The one that could fill your fantasies
So come baby girl let´s sing with me

Ay na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Shawty got me singin
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Now she got me singin

Shawty´s like a melody in my head
That I can´t keep out
Got me singin´ like
Na na na na everyday
It´s like my iPod stuck on replay replay-ay-ay-ay (2x)

Life in the Past Two Weeks - Pt. 2

WE'VE HAD A LOT OF RAIN!

If you haven't been following the weather in the Southern states, then you've missed some serious craziness!

The weekend before (April 24th), we had some torrential down pours in the Nashville area. It was so bad that at some points you couldn't see two feet in front of you.

However, I had to go out into the rain, and I'm so disappointed that I did. I had to head to my school for our Spring Festival. On the way, I hydroplaned. It was, what I thought at the time, the worst experience I'd ever had. I wasn't the only one in the car either; my nine year old brother was with me. Without going into too much detail, I crossed all four lanes of I-40E and hit the retaining wall. I completely totaled my car.

Here's what it looked like after it happen. Please don't worry though. Both my brother and I are okay; just a few bumps and bruises!

So, now I'm looking for a new car. I've found one that I really like. Now, I just need to find it in my price range. Or, at the very least, something that I can reasonably finance.

And, now, we are currently battling floods in Middle TN. There is a creek near my house, and I'm supremely nervous that we'll obtain some water. Right now, we're okay, but anything could happen. Our town square is under three or four feet of water. All I can say is that it's just simply unbelievable. We need prayers, desperately!

Life in the Past Two Weeks - Pt. 1

A lot has happened since Mr. GrapeJuice and I moved into our new house. We're still unpacking, but we've definitely gotten used to living on our own. We've even lost some weight in the process! Mr. GrapeJuice says this is because of my cooking. Not that my cooking is bad! It's just that I make the right portions without a lot of leftovers. Mr. GrapeJuice and I are the type of people that will eat because the food is there in front of us. Being on our own has definitely helped us drop that little habit.

But...onto happier topics {not that food isn't a happy topic!}.

Like, photography!

Back at the very beginning of March, I won a free photo shoot through Framed by Fletcher.

We had scheduled a photo shoot for the middle of March but it POURED that whole day so we rescheduled.

Boy, am I glad we did!!

We got some super hot photos at dusk in Nashville!

Mr. GrapeJuice and I are seriously considering this couple for our big day!

I hope we can agree upon something soon.
