Early morning ramblings

I woke up this morning on my own at 6:30 and stumbled like I was drunk to the bathroom. I woke up from a strange dream that was like a task show (you know, go to this location and get this item and take it to a second location) that combined people from all of my worlds--high school, college, work. But it wasn't the typical people, it was just random people from each of those places.

As I got back in bed, I was happy with the fact that it's Friday, I don't have to be at work until 11:30, and I still had over an hour to sleep. Then I started thinking and realized I overbooked myself for a weekend later this month...so I'm going to think about all day and weigh in my options as to who I'm going to disappoint. I'm hoping to be able to do both and still make everyone happy, but I'm really torn as to what I want to do more.

Because of the over-booking, I've now been awake since 6:30. SWEET.

However, today IS Friday! It's also July 8th, which means that I have been at my job for one month today! I can't believe a month has already gone by! I work my first Saturday shift tomorrow.

I'm doing my third-ever guest post today over at my friend Erin's blog (of My Beautiful Disaster fame). Go HERE to read the actual post :)

Happy Friday!

Well, I don't have strep...

I went to the doctor at 2:30, and they told me I do not have strep throat. At least not bad enough that the strep test picked it up. He told me that it's not strep YET, so he sent me home with a prescription for an antibiotic and instructions to do some at-home remedies for a sore throat. So I get to gargle warm saltwater! yay! If my throat isn't better in a couple days, I am to get the antibiotic prescription filled and take it as instructed.

The Miranda Lambert/Justin Moore/Josh Kelley concert last night was amazing. I'm so glad that I talked myself into buying tickets. She is a phenomenal live performer, and she played just enough songs that it included a majority of her hits (including my 3 favorites: Kerosene, White Liar, and More Like Her--I decided to link them rather than embed them) but not too many songs that the concert lasted until 1 a.m. I got to go with roommate and another girl from my sorority. Here's a picture of the three of us before the concert, and a picture of each of the singers:

Garrett is a magic photographer. I look thinner!

Opening act #1: Josh Kelley

Opening act #2: Justin Moore

MIRANDA LAMBERT!!

As you can tell, I was kind of far away from the stage so all three of these were taken with digital zoom. But I was still close enough to be able to see well :)

It was Elizabeth's first concert, and she enjoyed it a bunch. She is now a lover of concerts!

If you didn't catch my feature over at Pocket Legos last Friday, do so now! Then go to their post from today and answer the question! There will be a new question every week that I sent her, and we are both interested to see what you all answer! So do it!! NOW. (You could even make a post about it if you'd like!!)

I was also a guest post person over at KT's Refinishing School for her Spring Break series on Monday (I told you all I've been busy!) So if you want to read about my St. Patrick's Day (with lots of pictures), head on over to her neck of the woods. My post is here.

AND, because that is enough about me for you to check out, you can also read the stories behind my two tattoos! The very pretty Lindsay of scenic glory allowed me to share my Tattoo Story(ies) as part of her Tattoo Story features. You can read that post here.

WHEW! did I throw enough links at you yet?? I hope you get to take a look at all the places aiukli is featured in the blogging world! I have another busy weekend ahead, and be expecting pictures from all of my adventures!

Happy Weekending!

Happy Friday!

I'm so excited for today! I'm just about finishing up my guest post that will be featured in a couple weeks (I'll share where it's at once it's published!).

I got some much needed rest last night and slept wayyy to hard. My roommate even got up this morning and I was so out of it that I never heard her leave. I got the capstone paper done last night, caught up on my google reader FINALLY, and got some stuff typed up for college bowl. responsibility champion!

I am also very much looking forward to around 5:30 this afternoon. I have an aunt, her husband, and my two cousins Edith and MacKenzie coming in town for a softball tournament. If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a HUGE family person and unfortunately I haven't gotten to go home as often as I would have liked to this semester. But both I and my family are slightly okay with it because we all know that this is my last semester and I want to have as much fun as possible :)

Anyways, I will be spending the entire weekend at a softball field, cheering for Mac and a bunch of other girls I don't know. I can't wait to see them, it's been since my appendix surgery in February, and quite frankly that's been too long for me!

What are you excited about for Fridays? This weekend?

Have a great weekend friends!

p.s. bleh, I fail and also forgot to remind you all to link up to TexaGermaNadian's blog hop. It's one of the best :)
