excuse my cheese and sappiness. i went with molly suz nat jess laura to Loradoes and Quixotes for my last big hooorah in Auburn as a resident! I made up this toast with a terrible rhyme scheme but its how much I love them!

I need to say this before tears and ritas

with all of my heart i love my girls of Taleeda

As roommies we all fit like a glove

and i believe dearest friends its because of the way you all show love.

Suz is the sweetest and I'm sure going to miss her

and as we all know shes our most frequent little pisser!

She's got words of encouragement every single day

and despite our long distance i know we'll be ok

If you want quality time Molly is where you go!

She'll scratch your back while she watches her show

and even though we are working like distant busy bees

I know she'll miss me falling and scraping up my knees

Jess is the funniest and that's all I can say

and I'd bowl with you Jess any and every day!

She's funny and quirky and careful with a dollar

and if you ever need me Jess all you have to do is holler

Kristi I am missing while she is up in Mantoe,

being bored at the beach and watching Payne's show.

I'll see her again just wait and see

because I bet we'll be neighbors up in NYC!

Piggy is my girl, sorry I'm a sap,

but what will we do without each other at the GAP?

We're errand buddies for all time to endure

and you've loved me with acts of service for sure

Laura is our involved one, she's like a mirage,

but no matter what happens I'm living above your garage

You've always loved with gifts from the very start

and I've always loved your generous heart

No matter where we go or how life treats ya,

please know best friends youve got me, and we'll always have Taleeda.

scattered thoughts

im feeling scattered. i have packed up all of my worldly possessions and moved them out of my room of the last two years and have it all stored in boxes downstairs in kristi's room. its strange to be able to fit your whole life in boxes in the corner of a room. Ill be in Auburn another week which I am glad of. I get to be with Nat, Suz, Molly, Jess/her new puppy patches, and Laura! I'll be babysitting again next week which will be fun. We have all been so busy this year and absolutely pining for a break and now it ironic that we are all bored silly lately. I think everyone misses class because they miss having a sense of purpose. even tho we all have part time jobs at the moment, we still sit around all day. I am enjoying it <> but all my roommies seem miserable with the down time. im not ready to leave this bliss that has been college. ha its just been great. im just not ready to leave my comfortable home. ha and move in with my parents. i feel like im regressing back to high school. BUT im happy to be employed until dec. I am happy to only be and hour and forty five minutes away from my best friends who are still in Auburn. I am happy to get to live at home and save SO MUCH money before I move to New York in January.

julie and julia inspiration

I watched Julie and Julia last night with Laura and Natalie, and Julie blogs the whole time which really sparked my interest. Julie had some issues with her blogging habits and Im not interested in having the same experience so i might not even advertise that I have this for a while. But I do think this is an interesting outlet... but I don't want to let this be a way for me only to whine and vent: which I could see happening... thus with the career path I've chosen... so I have named it counting my blessings which is what I am going to try to do more often. It used to be so much easier for me to be positive. I want that ease to look at the bright side of things to come back. So I would like this medium to encourage that. So today I feel blessed because we had the BFBBQ. that is code for Best Friend Barbeque. My friend group is awesome. I have lived with Molly Natalie and Suzanne for what feels like all of college but I guess technically three years, Laura for one of those years along with Krispi and Jess this year. They are each dating guys that I absolutely love and who all love each other. So we all love to play! Tonight we all grilled out brought sides and deserts and pigged out, watched Lost, Glee and the Braves. Tell me what could be better?!? I leave these wonderful people in a matter of days. Sometimes I worry about having a community like this again. I crave being known by a community and I have that so fully in AU. But i know the Lord is not going to abandon me the minute I move out of AU and the loving arms of the Taleeda gang. I know God will be gracious enough to bless me with other fabulous friends. but the blessings I am thankful for tonight are: Suzanne, Shane, Kristi, Payne, Natalie, Molly, Lee, Jessica, Patrick, Laura and Dev. Biscuit Hole forever!
