no labor on labor day weekend...


i am so looking forward to a long weekend at home. thankfully i get this friday and next monday off...so i'm planning on travelling to m-town on thursday! i found out that 2 of my good high school friends are coming into town this weekend too, which i am very excited about. i'm anxiously thinking about looking at and buying a coffee table and kitchen table when i'm home. there's a place in collierville called sheffield's antiques that i want to go to. ironically, i've spent my whole life in memphis/collierville and have not been to this antique mall. my new obsession is antiques. there are also 2 shirts at ann taylor loft that i have on hold and did not rush into buying. i feel like i'm becoming a little more money conscious and trying to think of ways to save money...

this post is just kindof a gathering of thoughts since i haven't blogged in a while. my friend katie and i started a new blog called t-jol.blogspot.com. you should visit in your spare time.

last night i went to borders and was just browsing the Christian inspiration section...and didn't think i was going to get anything, and broke down and bought the compact bible commentary by Nelson and the Love Dare...haha. my mom and i went to see fireproof a long time ago and i actually really loved it, to the point where i was telling all of my friends they needed to see it. but anyway, i bought the book, and have already read the first chapter- which the dare says for the whole day to practice being only positive to your "spouse".

and lastly, i have to explain the picture at the beginning of this post. yesterday at work was pretty slow...so i went up to the front desk to talk to a lady who has mentioned a couple of times that she and her husband are moving to bham and they want to maybe sell their washer and dryer (which i need). so we were talking, and this beautiful celebrity-ish looking older man walks in with his daughter...and we both kindof looked at each other for a minute and he checked in his daughter and proceeded to sit down in the waiting room. as he was walking off, i turned to the girl and said- "he looks like a singer or something that just stepped out of a magazine!" haha. she looked at me and said, "that's troy gentry..." and i couldn't put the name together quick enough before she said, "from montgomery gentry". i FREAKED OUT. i think my whole face got red, i smiled from ear to ear...and went to tell ALL of my co-workers. they all were just not as tickled as i was...so of course, i the middle schoo young girl, wanted his autograph and i wanted to meet him. i mean, a celebrity is sitting in our waiting room? why WOULDN'T i freak out? this was my first celebrity sighting in nashville! so i made the most of the opportunity and told the dentist i was going to get his autograph if that was ok. she laughed at my star-struckness and i took a progress report (which we give to our patients) and went out to the waiting room and sat down near him and said- CAN I GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH?!? i'm pretty sure i was a nervous wreck. of course, he was doing homework with his like 9 year old daughter. and i talked to her to try to pass my nervousness and asked her when the homework was due...she just looked at me really confused. anyway, that was my celebrity sighting/meeting!!!! YAYAYAYAYA!

well that's all for now. and i have a new song everyone should download: hillsong united "always".
