What a crazy snowstorm! It was a blizzard! The winds and extremely heavy snow knocked our power out all night! I woke up at 2:15 AM and couldn't get back to sleep until a bit after 6AM. Of course I called out of work. This was certainly a doozy of a storm! Here are some pics! Oh and BTW... we are about to make the transition from a PC to a Mac today, and it will take a couple of days to get everything up and running again. Also I'm headed to NC to see Jared/Britney Spears on Wednesday so just FYI. Ok NOW you can scroll down and look at the pics!

And of course, what time better than now to start a base coat of a tan?

Yeah baby! We have been put under a Winter Storm Warning for snow starting later

today, lasting all night and into tomorrow morning! They are calling for us to get anywhere from 6"-12"! I'm so excited! And on top of that, they are calling for strong winds around 30 MPH, so it could be an all out blizzard! Even when it's over we will still have blowing snow! Right now we have a layer of sleet on the ground and cars, but hopefully this time tomorrow we will be buried in a foot of snow! I will update with pics later!

So last Wednesday night I flew to Asheville to see Jared and meet his family. It was an amazing time. I came back yesterday... regrettably. Life goes on though. Here's a breakdown of what I did day by day.

Wednesday- I leave work at 3:30 and rush to the airport and arrive in Asheville at around 8:30PM. Jared picked me up and we went to WalMart lol. Then we went to his house and I met his fam. Then bedtime.

Thursday- I met his sister Rachel, who is absolutely incredible. Also Jared's nephew Garrett and the puppy Charlie :) We went out to eat and just had a good time. I also played cards with the fam Thrusday night.

Friday- I went to the Biltmore Estate, the largest home in America. Also Jared and I ran a mile around his old high school track in the freezing cold at 9PM! However it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I want to do that again so bad. His mom made enchiladas and they were soooooo good!

Saturday- Jared and I sleep in, then he takes me on another tour of Asheville. Then we drive out to his sisters, get gelato and hang out at her house. Then I meet Jared's friend Jamie, and we go out to dinner with her.

Sunday- I cried. Lol. I didn't want to leave. But I had to.

I had such an incredible time with Jared and everyone. And I'm excited that I'm going back next week! Lol. March 4 I fly right back down, and the 5th Jared and I go see Britney in concert! :-)

So last week was uber fun! I met up with Ashley on Monday and we went shopping Monday night for stuff for her trip to see her boyfriend in North Carolina.

And also yesterday the Hendrickson's had a brunch party and OMG there was sooo much food! As seen below, it was just the start! I had a blast!

It's me and Amanda!

AAAAHHHHHHH! So it's final! I'm now seeing Britney Spears in concert in Atlanta as well as in Washington DC! On March 4, I'm flying back down to North Carolina and staying with Jared, and the next day he and I are driving down to Atlanta and seeing Britney together! Then we are going back to his house and I'm staying the weekend... again lol. Then March 23, he is flying up here and we are seeing her together again on the 24th in DC! And then he goes home the 25th. I'm so excited!!!

Last night I went over to Marshall's house and Amanda, Bethany, Olivia and John came over as well and we ate shrimp stuff, brownies and soda and watched a movie and talked and played around and just had an all around good time :)

So an old old old friend of mine, Ashley Smith has come back into my life! We met up and caught up at dinner last night. It was AWESOME! I'm so excited! It's so weird seeing someone you havent seen in almost 10 years! It's craziness. She's still the same girl in so many ways! I'm so excited! You will probably be seeing pics of us soon!

Ok so as of today, this is my favorite song right now. It makes me feel like I am floating on a fluffy white cloud, surrounded by rainbows with blue birds singing in my ears. Lol. It makes me feel happy inside. Take a listen, and soon enough you will be on your way up... up to the cloud I'm floating on right now :)

"Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)" - Lady Gaga

Kelly Clarkson broke the record for the largest jump on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart last week with this song, jumping from 97-1 in one week! Of course, it's also doing very well on my ipod.

"My Life Would Suck Without You" - Kelly Clarkson

Ah! I love this song! It's so fun to sing along to! And the storyline is so cute! Ugh, this song also has personal connections as well. It's just all around a big song in my life right now <3

"Love Story" - Taylor Swift

Ok so Britney is HUGE everywhere right now. And right now 3 of her songs are in my current favs. These two are what I'm really digging right now. "Circus" and her next single to be released next month "If U Seek Amy". Both hot. Very hot.
"Circus" - Britney Spears

"If U Seek Amy" - Britney Spears

So Friday night I went down to Salisbury University to see Christine. I had a blast! It was so much fun staying up til 5AM and playing UNO and Cranium and eating ice cream and watching movies! :-D I met so many cool people as well. It was so fun! I left Sunday afternoon and went to Eric's for the Super Bowl party. Needless to say I was exhausted today. Here are some pics from Salisbury.

Playing CRANIUM and I had her milking the cow.

SMILE!

Happy

Yeah!!!!

The whole group :)

Dancing the night away!

Sexy time lol

Woot! I'm so excited! February 19-22 I will be in NC visiting Jared! AAAAAHHHHHH! I'm sooooo excited!

UPDATE: I am now flying down Wednesday night the 18th instead of Thursday! :-D

So yesterday I went out to eat and to the movies after work with my momma and April. We went to Applebee's and then we went and saw "Mall Cop". We had tons of fin and shared lots of laughs :). One of the defining moments of the night was when I saw one of those "pay to look" giant binocuilar things. It was aimes at a patch of distant balloons on a movie advert and so I tried my hardest to get that thing to work and after 2 minutes of messing with it... I realized it was fake lol. Here I am trying to figure it out, and then April joins in :)

Now let's talk about the SNOWWW! Today it snowed all day! Not too hard, but decent. So pretty! It's our first REAL snowfall of the season. Tonight it's gonna tirn into an ice storm and then all rain by morning.

Here's a brief look at my weekend.

Friday: I went out with Phil and his friend Mark to TGI Fridays and we all gave our number to the waitress just to see if she'd do anything lol. Phil and Mark got a text saying, "no way... learn how to tip". I got no text cuz I left a good tip lol. Then I went over to Phil's house until like 11PM and then headed home.

Saturday: I slept in until 1:15PM! Then I got up did some stuff on the computer and at around 3:30 headed over to Eric's house where we got ready for our cookie party. We had to go shopping and get the supplies. So we went to Safeway and got the chocolate chips and looked on the back and figured out what we needed to get. It took us 30 mins to find the baking soda! And of course we had passed it 3 times already! Anyway we get out to the car and realize Eric had walked out with the hand basket... so he just plopped that into the back seat as well and took it home lol. The we cooked some cookies, and that was that. Then we watched some TV until a little after 1AM and then I came home.

Sunday: Just chillin at home :)

So Myspace sucks. It's bulky, unclean and full of crap. So whats the alternative? FACEBOOK! Facebook is so clean and neat and orderly. And it's easier and more fun to control! So if you have a Facebook, go ahead amd click my badge below and if I know and like you I will add you. I update that thing like crazy daily from my phone. I love it!

So this week has been pretty awesome. Ok well I mean not insane or anything... but definitely fun! So on Monday I hung out with Eric which was fun! We went to the mall and his house and played video games. Saw it snow a little bit, then I went home lol. On Tuesday I went to work, watched Barack Obama become the 44th President of the United States of America. That was crazy seeing all of those people there! After work I went and spent some time with Alex across the bridge. We went and had Chinese food in downtown Annapolis, and and then we went back to his place and watched American Idol. Then I left and that was that. Yesterday, Wednesday, I planned on doing nothing after work, but then while at work I got an invite to have dinner over Amanda's (also where Marshall and I went to the football party Sunday). So I got there and helped make some chicken parmesan and chocolate cake :). They had a few people over and we all literally sat around the table for 4 hours and laughed our butts off all night! It was a blast! Then I got home and went to bed at around 11:15. And today I worked and paid some bills. That's about it. :)

Yesterday other than freezing my butt off all day because it was so intensely cold... I had an awesome time hanging with Phil. I texted him and told him that I would be leaving at around 1PM to go to Red Lobster where we were meeting. He read that as to MEET him there at 1PM. So needless to say when I texted him telling him I was on my way, he was already there lol. So he had to wait for me for like 20 mins. We ate and headed to his house. We watched some TV, played some board games and then later we headed off to Circuit City. We then headed to Best Buy where we stayed for about 2 hours lol. We looked at computers, TV's and then we played "Rockband" which was on display for like 30 mins or so. I suck at that so bad lol. Then we went to the instrument room. Where we wentc crazy on keyboards, guitars, and drums! Below are some pics of the instrument playing. We had a blast!

The AFC Championship is Sunday! I'm going to a football party Sunday with Marshall. I'm so excited! It's Ravens vs. Steelers... the ultimate rivalry! Whoever wins is headed to the Super Bowl. GO RAVENS!

It's been so cold recently and it's gonna get colder! On Friday it might not make it out of the teens for the high! I'm really really ready for summer!

Here it is, the world premiere of Kelly Clarkson's comeback song "My Life Would Suck Without You". Click the play button and enjoy!

My Life Would Suck Without You

This past Thursday - Today (Sunday) I was in Washington DC. I can't possibly explain how amazing and awesome this trip was. The only word I can come up with is that it was perfect. Absolutely perfect. After picking up my peeps from the airport, we went to the hotel and driving in DC in rush hour traffic was an experience I hope to never have to go through again lol. So needless to say once the valet got my car, that car never left the garage until we left today lol. It was all walking for us! Even if it was bone chilling cold! So anyway Thursday night we were hungry and so we left the hotel to find food and we were so cold we just stopped and settled for Blimpie lol. Then we went back to the hotel and watched some TV, played on the elevators which was hilarious when a whole bunch of people got on the elevator with us on it and every single button pushed lol. It was soooo funny stopping at every single level! We got some looks and some comments lol. Then all three of us finally went to bed and we had to share a King bed. That kinda sucked lol. I need my space! Anyway everything we did isn't all that entertaining really. It was awesome because of the company. Basically I guess the things you would appreciate are we saw the White House twice, since our hotel was 2 blocks from it. We saw the hotel Barack Obama is staying at until he is Prez and there was a protester outside the hotel yelling in a megaphone in a fluffy pink jacket at him lol. And then last night we saw the Obama's family's motorcade drive by us. That was pretty cool. So yeah it was an awesome, very personal trip that I will always remember. Oh and I gained some weight while in DC as well. Lol.

It's here! Finally! After major technical delays, internet outages, and emergency illnesses, "Mic's Top 100 of 2008" has finally arrived! I do NOT believe it is my best work, you can hear where I am starting to get sick on it. And after reviewing it, I honestly think 50 songs is the best choice for next year. Anyway, as pretty lame as it is, I hope you enjoy the show!

And then follow the online instructions.

So the cover for Kelly Clarkson's new single "My Life Would Suck Without You" was just released... and it is EPIC! Kelly looks hot and dang they even threw in a lollipop! It's sexy! Take a look at it below. Any day now we will have the song! I can't wait!

I practically collapsed today in pain at work from a sudden rush of excruciating pain in my abdomen. I was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance and went into convulsions from the pain, was strapped down and given morphine. Want to know what is wrong? I have a kidney stone. And I will be passing it sometime in 24 hours. I'm dreading that! Anyway that's what is going on with me currently.
Here I am on Morphine today at the hospital

This last week I have been fighting a really horrible sinus infection where I have already had to flush my sinuses with "Sinus Rinse" (youtube it, its horrible). So that's that.

And finally, my internet has been off for forever, so I apologize, but everything should be back up and running soon. Oh and because I have been so busy, so sick and missing some work and paying a lot of bills... I'm EXTREMELY poor :(.

Me awhile ago in the gayest shirt ever! Haha.

So I have had no internet for days now. That's why you don't see any Top 100, or any other posts. In reality I have lots to talk about and lots of pictures to share. so whenever our internet is back up and running, i will let you know. Anyway, 2009 is now here and im so excited to see where it is going to take me. I had no idea 2008 was going to be as insane as it was, so it just makes me that much more excited for 2009 :-D

Due to major technical difficulties, the release of "Mic's Top 100 Songs of 2008" has been delayed until Monday evening.

Oh no! It's going crazy! I can barely do anything! I think it's about to completely die. I hope I can get my Top 100 done before it goes completely. I was gonna start work on it today. :( I will try to keep you updated. I know that starting today and thanks to a long weekend, I am jam packed busy through Sunday!

So wow this last weekend was insane. Some bad, a lot good! So let's go in order. On Friday I was at work, and it was a NASTY cold rainy day. It was ugly. Well I was winding pickup and at 9:44 AM I got a phone call from Lisa telling me that mommom had been rushed to the hospital cuz they thought she had a heart attack. So I immediately leave work and rush to the hospital where I spent many hours with my grandmother and Lisa and my mom. Well when we found out that she was gonna be OK, they let her check out later Friday night. So I drove my mom home and then I packed up and decided to go over Alex's house. Well it's about 7PM and I'm on my way then I get a text telling my I will be staying the night at Phil's. So I met up with Alex and we drove over to Phil's house and we just did random things. Mostly we watched TV and movies. "House Bunny" is friggin hilarious! We got to sleep at around 6 AM on Saturday lol. So then I slept from 6 AM til like 11:30AM, then I hopped in the shower and we all headed to Old Country Buffet. I ate SO much OMG! I'm not even going to say what I had. We actually had a lot of fun there :). Then we went to Target and shopped and took pics there and then we dropped Phil off at his house (after forcing him to listen to a couple of Britney songs, hehe). Then Alex and I went to his house and watched some TV and then headed back out at like 9PM to Hong Kong Buffet in Edgewater. I hadn't been there since like 2001! I loved it :) And of course I had a lot to eat there haha. Then we jammed out to some tunes on the way back to his house and we stayed up watching more TV and went to sleep at like 4:30 AM Sunday. I slept until like 11AM and apparently had missed out on some snow and ice cuz I checked my phone and saw my mom telling me to stay at Alex's until all the ice melted. When I looked outside everything had already disappeared lol. So then at like 11:30AM I headed home. And proceeded to watch the Steelers get their butts kicked by the Titans :-D

Here's Phil and Alex on their cart lol

Me randomly smiling inside Target

Here I am in the vacuum section of Target

And here is Alex and Phil messing around in the parking garage.

So apparently I have hives. I'm having a reaction to medication that I was taking for my ears. Ugh. I'm all itchy and broken out on my feet and legs. It's crazy!

Ok so do you remember this summer when I had like an emotional breakdown? Click Here to go back and look through those crazy posts to remind yourself. Well to be honest, it was about a person. However, after 5 months, because of someone's humility and guilt, lol, that is all officially behind me. I'm not going to get into too much detail, but they apologized up and down and all around. Genuinely. And didn't want anything in return. It's amazing how much a simple, whole hearted apology can heal things. It feels really good to know that when I run into this person at the mall, or the store, or just in passing, that instead of feeling anger and hurt, I can wave and say hi with a smile and know that all is good between us. :-) I wouldn't say we are friends, we won't be hanging out. But we are civil towards eachother. And that is all I wanted. Finally, I can close this chapter of my life with a good ending.

So I have missed a lot of meeting because of my illness. However, I think I am getting better enough that starting next week I will be able to go again without fearing getting others sick. So hopefully, everything starts to get back to normal again next week. This has been a 3 week horrible sickness. It sucks.

Ok so I'm still not feeling well so this is a major update in a few lines. I'm still sick. Still coughing up mucus. But I feel better too. I am sleeping again yay! My ear infection got worse. I'm almost deaf in my left ear. The meds they gave me didnt help so now they are worried there is permanent damage. I go to the docs tomorrow. I just want to feel better. BTW, I have been sick since November 27...as seen in previous posts. In other news, Britney sold over 500,000 copies of her album in it's first week :-D. And finally... I'm poor lol. The End

Yeah so I'm all better... except for one major thing, that being my lungs! I have so much stuff in them its crazy! Finally during the day if I don't dance around or talk too much I can breath without choking. Night time is a TOTALLY different story. I have barely slept any in the past three nights. I lay there and feel like I'm drowning in my lungs from that stuff and keep coughing and choking on it. I went to the docs today and they gave me new meds. It's crazy. I'm so ready for sleep OMG!

I'm so friggin sick it's insane. I hate hate hate this! I'm FORCING myself to go back to work tomorrow and hope everything will work out. Anyway even though I'm really sick, last night I found out that Britney tickets were going on sale today at 8AM. And that she would be performing at that time on Good Morning America. And that her album came out today lol. So I got up at 7 AM today, 4.5 hours after going to bed lol, and turned on GMA and instantly saw all the promo for Britney Spears and her album "Circus". Well a really long story short... and I usually don't talk money on here, but I am today cuz it's special... but long story short, I watched Britney perform her songs on Good Morning America, bought to AWESOME near the stage seats to her "The Circus Starring: Britney Spears" Tour on March 24 in DC, and I ran out in my sweats, hoodie, MAJOR scruff and bought her album... the Deluxe version ;)... of course never taking my sunglasses off the entire time. I was coughing so much just from walking! Anyway now to the money part. Let's just get it over. This past,oh, 12 hours or so has cost me about $350, all on Britney! Lol. Yeah it's a lot. I know. But this is friggin Britney Spears!! Anyway, that's that. I'm so excited about all of this omg. Click Here to take a look back at her amazing performances this week!

So yesterday I went to Urgent Care cuz I couldn't take it anymore. So I get there and they examine me every which way for 3 hours. I mean strep tests, breathing, chest x-rays, ears everything. I was so out of it I don't remember everything lol. But when it was all done and over with I was told I have... Bronchitus, Upper Respiratory Infection, Sinusitus, 2 Ear Infections and possible Strep :(. But now I'm on 5 prescriptions, so hopefully I will be better soon!

Below is one of the "breathing treatments" I must be on every 4 hours.
